Dog Walking In Morris Park

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

About: Need someone that loves your dog like you do? I can help! :) I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I bring a calm and understanding care to every fur friend I look after. I currently dog walk a sweet 5 year old Boxer-mix weekly, but I’m excited to add more animals to my schedule. I build a bond with the pets in my care and am always looking for ways to personalize my approach to best fit their needs! -I also volunteer weekly as an animal care assistant at the Animal Humane Society! I am working part-time so I have lots of time to spend with your pet! I am available on weekdays for walks & drop-ins! I would love to meet your fur friend🐾 Making sure your pet feels comfortable is my top priority! I take the health and safety of the pet in my care very seriously. Ensuring that they receive their regular feedings times, potty breaks, medications, walks, play-time etc.! Aside from usual clean-ups (accidents/messes), I also do my best to tidy up as I go.

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. In fact, when I was little, I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a dog when I grew up! 😂 My passion for dogs led me to begin fostering in 2019, and since then I've helped around 40 dogs find their forever homes. I've worked with dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, though many of my fosters have been puppy mill survivors who needed extra patience, understanding, and support as they adjusted to life in a home. I've fostered with several wonderful rescue organizations, including Underdog Rescue, MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue, Minneapolis Animal Control, and Coco's Heart. Through fostering, I've gained experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I've also fostered blind and deaf dogs. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops and topicals. Since losing my job in February, I've decided to focus on Rover full-time. The upside for your dog is that I'm home most of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. I share my home with two friendly dogs: a senior Boston Terrier and a playful 3-year-old who loves having the right playmate. Because we've welcomed so many foster dogs into our home over the years, both of my dogs are comfortable meeting new canine friends and are adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. I live in a first-floor duplex in South Minneapolis with a fully fenced yard. I share my home with two friendly dogs: a senior blind Boston Terrier and a playful 3-year-old who loves having the right playmate. Because we've welcomed so many foster dogs into our home over the years, both of my dogs are comfortable meeting new canine friends and are adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. My younger dog is a swimmer, so during the summer we love visiting the dog park at Minnehaha Falls. If your dog enjoys adventures, has reliable recall, and you'd be comfortable with it, I'd be happy to bring them along! I want visiting dogs to feel as comfortable as possible, so I try to maintain the routines they're used to at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and I'm flexible when it comes to crating, sleeping arrangements, and daily routines. If your dog normally sleeps in bed with their people, they're welcome to sleep with me too. While I do take my dogs on walks several times a week, daily walks are not part of our regular routine. If your dog requires daily walks, please let me know at the time of booking so we can discuss their needs and make sure we're a good fit. I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time. A few things to know before booking: • While I am home most of the time, there are occasional events or commitments that may keep me away for 4+ hours. I will do my best to communicate this ahead of time, but please let me know if your dog cannot be left alone for that length of time so I can confirm my schedule before accepting a booking. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, my home is generally the best fit for dogs who are: • Comfortable in a relatively calm household. Very high-energy dogs can be stressful for my senior dog, who is blind. • Reasonably quiet when left alone. Normal barking at delivery drivers or unfamiliar noises is completely fine. However, because I live in a duplex with shared walls, I am unable to host dogs who bark continuously when alone or throughout the night. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'm always happy to answer questions to help determine if we're the right fit for each other.

“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”

“Joanna was amazing and gave us so many updates on Chi-Chi while we were away. I was so happy she made time to meet us in advance and asked many questions to get to know Chi-Chi better. We came home to a very happy pup! 🐶 🐾 💕 Highly recommend 10/10”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I am versatile, bringing the silly to the park or the calm to the rest time. Would love to get to know you and your furry family members! I'm currently at home with my baby so I'm fairly flexible with my schedule. As long as I'm not nursing, I can pop over to give your fur babies some love! Before I meet your little buds, I want to have a thorough conversation with you about your expectations, pet, and home. If possible, I'd like to stop by while you're home to be introduced to your pet and get a tour. Communication is key and I want you to trust that your pet is getting the best care!

“Dana is a great dog-walker. She’s very in tune with my dog’s moods and needs, and pays attention to the details, like making sure my dog’s water dish is topped off, or her feet are wiped. Also, Dana’s background gives me confidence about leaving my pet in her hands.”

About: Hi there! Here’s some info about me, so you know your pets will be in great hands: By volunteering at an animal shelter, I learned experience for a wide range of animal needs. I truly love every animal I come into contact with. With my job that allows me to work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets needs. My schedule can be adjusted to fit yours. Your home and pet's safety are my top priority. As a pet owner, I know that communication is important with someone caring for your pet, so that is my standard as a pet-sitter.

“Lisa was wonderful with our timid rescue pup. She took the time to let our girl warm-up to her, and by the end of the week’s walks, she got a tail wag!”

About: I have experience with pets from picking up a standard poodle from a private airplane for a client in Maine, to more recently, caring at home for a couple of cats whos parents were caught in an emergency. My energy can keep up with the most active dogs & my compassion so large, it can care for the most senior of pets. I've been a professional stylist for 30 years & hope to take the many skills I accumulated over that career and apply them to a new venture. I'm sure you'll live me as much s your pets will! My schedule is very flexible & I can fit in walks or dog sitting almost any time or date with a bit of luck & proper communication! I am a single guy & like most single folks, our pets are our 'family' & I care for them as such. However, I'm also calm, assertive & don't back down easily in order to keep reign over, well even my own dog!

“Amanda is great! My Freya always has a great time on their walks while I’m at work! Super reliable and has wide availability! She’s my go-to for my dog walkers!”

“Katherine was wonderful with Huey! Very reliable and fantastic communication. Highly recommend!”

About: As a community oriented dog-lover, I strive to provide excellent service to both you and your furry friends! I have taken care of dogs or all kinds since I was young from Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cavaliers, Terriers, and plenty of our rescue mixes. I am an avid walker and love taking dogs out on their own personalized strolls. I have raised several puppies into confident dogs, been patient with the shy and the elderly, and am ready to play with rough housers. I am in a unique situation of flexible working hours to be available for your pets and you. Need sitting for a small mammal or reptile? Reach out! I have experience in all sorts of small friends! I am a full time real estate agent which means my hours are flexible. Most of my work is done right from home and my days are neatly scheduled to make sure when I need to be out of the house, I will be able to return within a few hours. My schedule will only be open so long as I have the time to care for your pet in my home without too many hours away. If you are boarding your dog, rest assured, they will be comfortable and safe with me. I live in a secure condominium that has been pet-proofed since day one with a live-in Cavalier who is gentle as a lamb. Dogs will never be taken out without a leash and will never interact with anything outside of the home without my supervision. With my schedule, they will be taken out many times throughout the day and can be kept on any feeding schedule you require.

“Jessica was great! She was able to fit us in last minute to walk our dogs when we were out of town and it tired both of them out perfectly for our dog sitters. She’s very experienced and I appreciated the pictures and notes about how it all went. I will for sure book with her again!”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of experience, safety awareness, and genuine love for animals. I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and fish, so I’m comfortable managing diverse household pet needs and following detailed care routines. I have experience administering oral medications, caring for pets during minor illnesses, and working with animals who have anxiety or behavioral challenges. I’m observant and attentive to subtle changes in behavior, which helps me respond quickly and responsibly if something seems off. In addition to pet care experience, I have a strong background in health and safety. I’ve worked in safety-focused environments and am CPR/First Aid trained, so I prioritize safe routines, secure handling, and proactive communication at all times. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, which makes me a great match for high-energy dogs who need engaging walks and enrichment. Whether your pet needs long walks, structured playtime, or calm companionship, I can tailor my approach to their individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trust. I provide consistent updates with photos and videos, so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m a full-time hybrid student, which means I have a flexible schedule and am only away for short periods of time during the day. I’m able to plan my classes and study time around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention and interaction. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to each day. I make time for play, walks, enrichment, and quiet companionship depending on the pet’s needs. Because I’m home frequently, I’m able to maintain routines and provide a steady presence rather than long stretches of absence. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household preferences. I am very respectful of others’ homes and treat each space with the same care I would expect for my own. I keep things clean, secure doors and windows, and maintain open communication throughout the stay. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home exactly as you left it.

“Allie was prompt, communicative, and so loving to our senior dog.”

“Launa is a gem. She is patient and understanding with my dog’s quirks ;) She has been reliable and available for repeat walks and I really appreciate that.”

Sophia L.

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”

“Haidyn is great with my pets! She provides ample exercise, love, and attention while also being very timely in communication. Haidyn has also done great with meeting the needs of my puppy, who isn't fully trained. There are things I'm trying to work on with the pup, and Haidyn does well in being consistent with my training.”
