Dog Walkers in Minnesota City, MN

About: Willing to commute 🐾 Ｔｈａｎｋ Ｙｏｕ For my wonderful variety of new and regular clients who make it possible to work with my Petsitting business full time! Insured (PSI) ✔️ First Aid✔️ Trustworthy✔️ I offer drop-in visits and walks, overnight sitting and extended stays. I also now offer daytime sitting (Daycare) only in the pet owner’s home, for pets who need company for a certain period of time without leaving or who cannot be alone at all during the day (Hourly rate similar to drop-ins). I do not currently host pets besides my own in my home. Rates are per animal per night, including any exotic pets. Additional fee for services 20 miles away or more. Having grown up on a hobby farm, begging for more pets to take care of in a family of 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕡𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕘 𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤 and 𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕝 𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕣𝕤, I have been exposed from early childhood to the ins and outs of animal care through all stages of a pet’s life. 🐎🐶🐱🦜🦚 I have experience with basic training of my family’s and my own many unique dogs from a variety of different Mastiff and Bulldogs breeds, along with many others, also raising and teaching young horses. I always love to learn something new with your pets! I especially have a soft spot for baby animals and elderly pets as well, as I have experience with extensive care of newborn puppies, kittens, and other animals, including bottle feeding and other surrogate mom duties! And I can help administer your pet’s medicines, unique diets, and other needs. Spending time helping at a kennel free pet care facility has completely opened my eyes to the comradery and collective growth of the community surrounding animal care, and I am grateful to be involved! I also have gained experience managing situations, working with reactive pets, and assisting socializing our Covid babies. My own pets have included a diverse menagerie of XL to pocket sized pets! At home, I enjoy caring for • Cats & Dogs • Aquarium/terrarium animals • Parrots & other birds • Exotics, farm animals and horses • Houseplants & gardens Cleaning in the home, Pet Bathing, Dog Yard Cleaning, and Gardening are available for a separate fee upon request during stays. Currently learning more about care for bunnies and obedience work with dogs as well. Look me up on the PSA directory for more info! I am very flexible, sometimes running errands between tasks when appropriate. My schedule is filled with primarily overnight and extended stays, then walks and drop ins when the timing is compatible. I am also able to accommodate pets in need of full time supervision as long as this is discussed ahead of time. Daycare is offered in the clients home when pets are injured, sick, or should not be alone for another reason. Please note for overnight and extended stays, that Wednesday night and Sunday morning I have an appointment to attend to for a couple of hours. I spend time also volunteering and occasionally overseeing a kennel-free doggy daycare. When Petsitting, I do like to get out of the house at least once a day if possible, to avoid isolating and to see my own family pets. Please reach out with any pet care needs including extended stays, and we can discuss availability. Important Safety and Agreement information Terms of Agreement between client and sitter: To ensure a Secure and Safe environment, bookings in which a third party has access to the house and/or pets once Petsitting services are enacted are prohibited. This is a major liability risk and breech of this term of service voids my liability and possibly ends the stay ‘early’ as this also is not covered by my business insurance. Times when house cleaners or other services on the property are scheduled during the stay must always be disclosed. MN Residents: Minnesota requires sales tax on Petcare and Petsitting services, which will also be estimated through Rover. Safe Walking: When our Midwest extreme heat or cold strikes, I check with owners and usually opt to play with your pet indoors instead or take them out at the safest time of day temperature wise. I also do not take pets outside without a leash or fence. Safety at Home: Please move toxic plants and valuable items completely out of reach of your pets if there is a possibility of them being chewed. For pets who have accidents, I do my best to clean up messes with the products provided in the home. I have had experience with caring for dogs with aggression toward each other in the same home, and can adapt to many situations as long as safety is secured in the environment prior to my arrival and I am aware of those needs before hand, no exceptions. Privacy: Recording/surveillance of pet sitters in private areas is illegal. I also personally do not accept bookings with other interior surveillance devices. I don’t mind other security measures, but I do need to be aware of them. Thank you! For your own privacy, also please notify me if you would prefer photos of your pet not to be used by me or included in my Rover journal. *My own pets do not accompany me to stays or walks with clients unless requested by a client for socialization.

“Jillissa was great. She followed my directions exactly, and I came home to a happy dog and parakeet. I would easily choose her again.”

About: I grew up on a farm and hold knowledge of everything from a horse to a quail and I have never not owned a dog or cat. The most amount of animals I have personally owned at once is 104! 98 ducks, 4 geese, 1 cat, and 1 dog! I have also done private grooming for a woman who used to breed and show golden retrievers. My specialty is large breed dogs as throughout my life i have owned and worked with wolf-dogs, german shepherd, dutch shepherds, and hunting hounds. I am currently a college student at Winona State University, so I usually have classes during the day but there are breaks in my schedule! Which allows time for drop-in visits or stopping by your animals if I am house sitting! I also work at a horse farm some weekends and have a part time job at a restaurant so I am normally a busy gal but I absolutely love breaks from my sometimes hectic schedule to unwind and spend time with pets and destress which is a comfort most college students don't have when they're away from home! Quality time and relationships with pets is what is most important to me. Along with that goes long walks or play dates to get the energy out of high drive dogs, or just sitting on the couch with a cuddly cat or senior dog.

“Kristina has been a rescue transporter for Tibetan Terrier Rescue for about 5 years now. She has undeniable dog savvy and common sense when it comes to the care of dogs. She has transported anywhere from one to 54 dogs for us at a time. Her knowledge and care for these dogs has been outstanding and she adjusts her ways in order to make any and all of the dogs feel safe and comfortable. I wish she lived in NJ because she is pretty much one of the few people, I would ever trust in caring for my animals. (She always sends pictures and updates which is an added bonus)”

“Couldn’t be happier! Bodhi needed a walk on a day I was working late and he was taken care of wonderfully!”

“Courtney is an amazing human being as well as a caring pet caregiver. She has been a lifesaver to our family and our dog, Lulu. She is courteous, punctual, and caring. Courtney goes above and beyond in communicating with us if anything arises with our dog. I highly recommend Courtney and her pet caregiving services. She is topnotch!”

“Erica is great! She always gives Lily the best care and sends me updates and pictures.”

“Lynne was able to fill in when at the last minute another walker we had booked cancelled. This is the second time we've used her, and our Lulu tells me to book her whenever we need someone to walk her.”

“Morgan loves animals and spoils them! Playing, feeding, walking, you name it. Great at communicating and following whatever directions you leave for your fur baby.”

“Cindy is FANTASTIC!!! She is going out of her way in walking with Hank. He is a challenge still, we greatly appreciate everything Cindy is doing,”

“Alicia was able to help me out on short notice and was very enthused to walk my dog! ? I will recommend her to others and will book her again in the future!”

“MaKenzy is passionate about animals! I’ve know her for 15 years and she has watched my dogs and cat multiple times. I am at ease when she is staying with them because she loves them like her own and always follows the schedule that is provided. Highly recommended MaKenzy!”

About: I have grown up with dogs since the age of 8; I mainly have experience with large dogs, but have cared/pet sit for smalls dogs as well and I am always looking to meet more! I own both cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience with both! I cannot wait to meet your companion(s) and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety! I am currently working part-time, but my hours go no longer than 4 hours. I am free anytime before 3 PM Tuesday-Saturday, and am available anytime Sunday and Monday. If I am pet sitting, like I had mentioned, my shifts typically are 2-4 hours but never exceed 4 hours, so I could pet sit any day of the week/weekend. I feed my dog and cats three times a day, take my dog out 3 times and then a long walk. All of my pets are indoor, which means they are always warm and sheltered. I also pay close attention to anything that ever seems “off”. I have also been given specific instructions from families who have had me pet sit for them and have always given my all to ensure everything is done just how they like, and I am willing to do the same for you!

About: I grew up in the country and I was around an abundance of animals since a very young age but mostly dogs! Growing up I was always in charge of my dogs bathroom breaks, meals, and overall playtime. I recently got a puppy and we make many trips to our local dog park. Since I have a puppy (who is very needy) I am always busy. I often try to train my puppy new tricks. He currently knows paw, sit pretty, spin, lay down, sit, and we are working on obedience with treats by using a key word. At home I have a decently big back yard fully fenced in and two loving dogs. One who just turned 1 and the other who just turned 5. My 1 year old is super playful and my 5 year old is a cuddle bug.

“Nadia is a fantastic dog sitter! She goes above and beyond, ensuring plenty of playtime and walks with my new puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.Highly recommend!!😁”

About: I have been around animals my whole life my dad and his parents ran a kennel for a very long time and I grew up around it. I also have a senior dog of my own so I know the importance of on time medication and frequent potty breaks! I have had cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs as pets too! I’m a huge animal lover and I love going on walks with animals too! I am currently working part time at a retail store so my availability does change but I am available most mornings. I will update my availability weekly but I am pretty flexible! I will be more than happy to take your dogs out on a walk in your yard, neighborhood or a park too! I can also give your animals their medication and spend time playing and cuddling with them.

“There have been very few years in Megan’s life where she has not had a dog of her own and I’ve had many occasions to observe Megan’s interactions with her dogs and also while she’s with my two Aussies. She is loving, firm, playful and consistent with them. She takes advantage of teachable moments and my dogs have always returned better mannered and happy. Dogs seem to love her immediately. Megan’s past training as a vet tech adds to her competence and comes wholeheartedly recommended.”

“Madi is someone I will always trust with my pets. She has pet sat for my cat and dog many times and they just adore her. Madi is the type to go above and beyond for the animals she cares for. I could not recommend her enough!!”

“Michelle did a great job of walking Lily, letting me know how it went, sending pictures, mapping where she walked and how long it was. I could tell she was caring towards her as well. I will definitely call her again!”
