Dog Walking Minot

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a shy cat, a bouncy pup, or a curious wild visitor, they feel safe with me—and I feel at home with them. Every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality. Some are ready to play the moment we meet, while others simply need a calm, patient presence and someone willing to let them move at their own pace. I believe trust comes first, and once that bond is built, confidence naturally follows. Whether we’re exploring a quiet neighborhood, taking in the fresh coastal air, or simply sitting together until your pet feels comfortable, my goal is always the same—to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your furry family member. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. I offer flexible availability for drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits us both and gives your pet consistent, loving care. I care for your pets and your home with total respect—keeping routines consistent, energy calm, and your space safe and tidy. With years of hands-on experience and a natural connection to animals of all kinds, I treat every pet like family and every home like my own. I’m available for drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays, and I’m comfortable giving medications, handling senior pets, or simply being a steady, reassuring presence. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship or playful engagement, I adapt to their energy and make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Your peace of mind is always my top priority.

“It was right after the big (almost two feet) snow storm. Due to a recent surgery, I was unable to walk my dog in those conditions. Shannon was intrepid - she was able to climb over the barrier, and bring Rosie to areas where she could walk easily. I was appreciative!”

About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of dogs since I was a kid! From pet/house sitting overnight, to stopping in daily to feed and play with dogs, I have a plethora of experience! I am currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility and time to care for your pets! I’m happy to wake up early or stay up late to ensure they are properly taken care of and are provided the best care! If I am providing the service in your home, I promise to leave it cleaner than when you left it! If I am providing service in my own home, I have a loving and friendly retriever to keep your pet company!

“Amazing kind and caring dog walker. Shows up on time as well. I would recommend her to anyone. She took very good care of my french bulldog and my cat!”

“Christina was great to work with! Her flexibility with my schedule and photo updates were very helpful. My pup even got sick and needed meds and she was able to accommodate us still. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and have been around dogs my entire life. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, from shy and nervous to playful and energetic. I have a sweet, friendly one year old Poochon who loves making new friends. Dogs in my care become part of our family. My husband is home during the day, my adult daughter works from home, and my teenage daughter loves dogs and enjoys helping too. This means your pup will have plenty of attention and will never be left home alone. I occasionally have one or two other friendly boarding dogs staying with us, so it’s important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs. They spend their days playing, relaxing, and getting lots of love and attention together. I believe in clear communication and will always follow your instructions, prioritize your dog’s safety, and send regular updates with photos. Thank you for considering me! I’d love the opportunity to make your pup feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very flexible and available every day of the week. I love the outdoors and staying active, so walks and drop ins are an easy, consistent part of my day. I can accommodate last minute requests, follow your pet’s routine closely, and I always provide reliable care with clear updates each visit. Clean, calm, pet friendly home with a large backyard and plenty of room to play. My friendly 1 year old Poochon is home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. I closely follow your routine (feeding, potty schedule, and house rules) and send photo updates. I have video cameras in the home for safety, and someone is home 24/7 for supervision and care.

About: I grew up with several animals always in our house from dogs, cats, fish and rats. I enjoy training dogs or puppies and going on long walks. I am currently work from home full time and have a lot of availability! I have a 2 year old male boxer of my own so I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs. We wake up early and love to go on long walks. I love instructions and will always follow them to a T! I am very detail oriented and respectful of all animals wants/needs and their parents guidance.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had them in my adult life as well. I also work part time at a doggy playgroup so I have a-lot of experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as going into peoples homes to pick up and drop off pets. All weather is fine with me and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate yours and your pets needs. I am a real estate agent so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate your needs and work around my schedule. Very flexible I have a fully fenced in yard. I live in a great quiet area that is good for walking or even going on runs with your dog.

About: Hi! My name is Dessy, and I’m a passionate animal lover and experienced professional pet stylist who genuinely treats every pet like my own. I’ve worked hands-on with all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from tiny nervous pups to big energetic goofballs. Because of my grooming background, I’m extremely comfortable handling dogs who may be anxious, wiggly, shy, or need extra patience. I’m trained to read body language, keep pets calm, and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times. I care for dogs whenever I can find the time. Even when not at work I’m looking to spend more time with pups. I’m looking to also volunteer at Kingston Animal Shelter. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh water, feed them according to instructions, and provide potty breaks and walks based on their normal schedule. I also give them plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance while monitoring their behavior to ensure they are happy and safe.

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have a friendly, social French Bulldog puppy who gets along great with dogs, people, and cats. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet, whether for a short trip or a longer stay. I’m always happy to send photo, video, and text updates so you can see your pet happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’m very active, so pets in my care get plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment, including dog park visits when appropriate. I’m also glad to accommodate special requests for feeding, walks, medications, toys, or extra snuggles. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet every time. I have a dog so for me it’s already 24/7. I work from home most days so very flexible when it comes to scheduling walks, pick ups and playtime. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and live close to the beach, so dogs enjoy regular neighborhood walks and fresh air. I also have a friendly, well-socialized French Bulldog who loves meeting new friends. If your pet is comfortable with other dogs, I’m happy to include supervised play and social time. If not, I always respect your preferences and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and make sure pets receive lots of attention, affection, and supervision. My goal is to create a calm, fun, and secure environment so your pet feels right at home while you’re away.

“Bubba had two excellent walks with Diane! She was very responsive re: scheduling and arrival. Diane took the time to talk with me about Bubba's little (big) personality, worked with him on the walk, and provided a full report and cute photos. I highly recommend Diane!”

“Gift is an excellent dog walker! Reliable and professional. My Teddy loves her with his whole heart. He waits by the door for her and excitedly greets her. We are so lucky we found her. Highly recommend!!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, responsibility, and attention I bring to everything I do. As a rehabilitation aide and full-time college student, I am used to being dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to individual needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. That's why I prioritize communication, provide updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make sure they are happy, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I work per diem as a rehabilitation aide and every other weekend as a café associate at South Shore Health, which gives me a flexible schedule. I am generally more available in the afternoons and evenings, making it easy for me to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and any meals or medications according to their schedule. I also prioritize safety, comfort, and communication by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, well cared for, and treated like family while they're away.

About: We've had dogs for about 20 years and have always taken friends' dogs when they travel or just need a hand! Looking forward to loving your pets!!! I work full-time from home but have all the flexibility needed! I am available morning noon and night for walks, overnights or whatever is needed! We have two fabulous dogs and can take yours here if that's what you need! We have two wonderful dogs that we seem to be catering to more and more lol! However, I will care for your dogs anyway needed from running to crating!!! My husband, daughter and I all work from home so they are never without love! My position is very flexible and I spend most of the day with my dog clients! When I have a call etc they usually all follow me and lie around me until I'm done and/or they'll play and check in with me and head back out. We have a large fenced in yard, finished walk out basement for the "clients" and me as well as plenty of dog friendly sly space in our home.

“Erin was great with Ryder! You can tell she has a passion for dogs and animals. She is very responsive and reliable. Can’t wait to use her again 😀”
