Dog Walking Mound

About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!

“Marcy stepped in to help with our dog while I was out of town. Always on time, dog was well walked! Highly recommend.”

About: Certified pet lover here! I’ve been pet-sitting for neighbors, family and friends since childhood, along with caring for my own sweet baby angels. I’ve many years of experience volunteering at pet rescues & nature centers caring for animals of all types! I am a self-employed artist with a flexible schedule to suit your needs! I work from home in Mound, with reliable transportation to quickly get your pets cared for :) Pets are family, and should always be treated with the highest level of love and care. I’m happy to walk, feed, play, cuddle, give medicine and help with anything else your pet may need!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal ownership and years of helping friends and family with their pets. I am a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched friends’ dogs, providing house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication with owners for peace of mind. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, and house sitting, and I prioritize sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I grew up with a west highland white terrier named Duffy. He was my best friend! When I go on walks with my husband I have to pet every dog I see. Dogs seem to really like me. I am a freelance writer/editor, and I also do sewing repair jobs, so my schedule is flexible. If I have to come to your home twice a day and you are within my area, taking care of your pet should fit into my schedule nicely. I will come to your home twice a day to care for your pet. I will make sure your pet is fed, watered, and gets any necessary medications, and I will spend time with them so they aren't lonely or bored. I will lock up your house with the key or code you provide me and follow any instructions for lighting/temperature, etc.

About: I have had pets since I was younger from bunnies to great danes!! I love pets and my family and friends have always asked me to take care of their pets since I love them like my own!! I am available Monday, Tuesday, Friday from 6am to 9:30 am and 3:30 to 10:30 pm! And on Sundays I am available all day until 9:30 pm!! I care for dogs in their own home to keep routines familiar and stress low. I follow all instructions, provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention, plus regular photo updates so you always know your dog is happy and safe!!!

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student home for the summer, I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a part of your family. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, crate training, leash walking, feeding schedules, basic commands, tricks, and providing lots of exercise and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind during your time apart. My goal is simple: give your dog a fun, safe experience and give you confidence that they’re in good hands. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. Dogs are already a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, my schedule is built around walks, training, playtime, feeding routines, and providing consistent care. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in the dog care and training field, so I genuinely enjoy spending time working with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, reinforcement of good habits, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care. Safety, structure, and positive experiences are my top priorities. I’m currently expanding my knowledge in dog behavior and training with the goal of building a career in the dog care industry. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and training goals so I can provide consistent care that matches what they’re used to at home. As a dog owner and someone interested in dog training, I believe in positive reinforcement, patience, and clear communication. I closely supervise dogs during walks, playtime, and interactions, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and using crates when requested. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Steve was wonderful with Mac over the past few weeks. He took excellent care of him and paid close attention to Mac’s cues, helping him feel safe and happy during their walks. Mac was always happy to see Steve at the door—a sure sign he was having a fun time. Thanks again, Steve! :)”

We also have a 7 year old mini goldendoodle who we've trained and raised since he was a puppy so I'm pretty accustomed to being around animals. I will also send friendly updates with pictures or videos if wanted :) I was recently laid off from my corporate design job so I am free and flexible to help/watch your furry friend(s)! I'm available for walks, checkins, or pet-sitting throughout the week. I am available to come to your house in order to feed, walk, give medications, clean litter boxes, take outside, etc. I'm also available if you need a stay-in caretaker.

“Regina is AMAZING! I will for sure ask for her help again. Wonderful, caring and very helpful. I needed to adjust times a couple of times and she always tried to help if she was available. Very, very happy. So was my dog. ?”

About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.

About: I have owned both cats and dogs in my life time, as well as pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I currently own a black American shorthair cat named Daisy :) I am a single mom who has my kids 50% of the time. When I have my kids, I cannot do overnights but I am open to dog walks, play dates, and feedings. When I do not have my kids I have more flexibility to be with your animal(s) for a longer period of time Given my townhome and the pet I own I currently cannot have animals stay with me. I care for all animals with the utmost gentleness and care. I am able to play with and walk dogs / cats

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my teens. I watched the neighbors dog with my sister when they were on vacation growing up. My sister had a Pomeranian dog breed throughout high school into college. Have experience watching Shih Tzu's, Chihuahua's, St Bernard, and Black Labs. I have experience watching a mixed husky (breed) and have known the dog since 2014. I most recently watched Renly while they were on a camping trip during the summer of 2023. This dog lives with epilepsy and special care was provided twice a day! I have experience with little and large breeds and enjoy animals and getting outside for a walk after work! I am working full time during the weekdays, available during the weekday evenings and weekends to be at home providing pet care. I can take for walks after work for exercise. I can crate your dog as needed or kennel when I am not at home. I pay close attention to the dogs when outside to ensure they are safely in the yard. I have experience with electric fences and houses that do not have the electric fence.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, helping my parents take care of them growing up. In highschool I got a job at a pet hotel and worked there for a year. This was a great experience, I got to see how dogs interact with each other and learned how to take care of different types of dogs. I have also helped house sit some of our family friends dogs. I am home from college and have most days free. I am available most of the days and am happy to work whenever I am needed. I can not watch any dogs in my house. However, I will take good care of your pets in your house. I will follow any instructions given and help keep your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

“Great sitter. Puppy loves her and she's a good sport about being dragged around by dogzilla.”

About: I have never not had a pet in my life. Since I was born, my family has had two dogs no matter what. We have had the two same dogs for the past 10 years now and I have learned to take care of them whether that be bathing them, feeding them, taking them on walks, or giving them love. I can’t imagine my life without dogs and I love every single one I see! I am currently training as a professional hockey player so I have plenty of time to walk dogs. I love going on walks and am willing to take your dogs on walks anytime mid day to afternoon. There might be days where I have hockey practice in the afternoon, but I would communicate with my client to figure out a solution. I have walked my two dogs every single day for the past two summers and know many different areas to walk dogs that they love. My car is dog friendly if I were to take your pet to a fun new walking spot and I love to discover new trails.
