Dog Walking New Brighton

About: I have lots of patience for all kinds of animals with all kinds of behaviors. I am passionate about cats, dogs, and any pet I meet. I am often the favorite human to the animals in my life. I currently have a part time job but am planning to do full time school in the fall. I will have time outside of classes, and plenty of time over the summer, to care and play with your pets! I will try to get to know your pet as best I can. I am flexible and willing to snuggle, play, go on walks or look out the window with your furry friend. If I am ever watching pets in my own home I have a very friendly 30 lb terrier mix that loves to play with other dogs.

About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My sweet girl Sophie passed away this year after 14 loving years together. While I’m not quite ready for a new pup of my own a certainly miss caring for dogs. Maybe I can help you out there! I am a pet parent to all critters under the sun! I have extensive experience with dogs from young pup to seniors with medical needs including all sorts of breeds, large and small. I’m very active and happy to take your high energy pup for long walks (or even runs!) or just cuddle up with your couch potato. I also have extensive personal experience with cats. I have two kittens and have cat sat for friends and neighbors since I was in middle school. No matter how velcro-y or aloof your babies are Id love to keep them happy and healthy. Beyond dogs and cats I have owned (or cared for extensively) birds (cockatiels), reptiles and amphibians (bearded dragons & painted turtles), pocket pets (hamsters, guinea pigs & rabbits), freshwater fish, and horses! My wide expanse of knowledge means even if I haven’t cared for your exact critter yet I’m confident I’ll be able to pick up any new information easily and will make sure they are well cared for. No critter will scare me away! PLEASE NOTE: At this time I am not looking for any new regularly repeating weekly drop ins/walks, so if you’re looking for a new daily walker I’m probably not your best choice, however if you need the odd occasional visit, a sitter while you’re out of town, a sub for the week, or something similar I’d be happy to help! I work from home which grants me a lot of flexibility during the morning and day for walks or drop ins. My evenings can get a bit busy but with enough notice I can absolutely work in further care as well. I’ll be sure to adhere strictly to any instructions you give me. I also will be sure to send updates and pet pics every time I visit and you’re welcome to text me at any point for an update. I’m an extremely clean and tidy person and will leave your home better than I found it.

About: I genuinely love animals and provide dependable, compassionate care. From playful puppies to senior pets, I bring patience, energy, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Pet care is a natural part of my life. I love spending time with my pets and sharing outdoor adventures with them. I bring that same attentive, loving care to every pet I look after. I prioritize every pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being. I provide attentive care, exercise, playtime, consistent routines, and medication when needed. With two energetic dogs of my own, I know how important patience, affection, and enrichment are. We love camping, exploring dog parks, and taking long walks and I bring that same energy and care to every pet I look after.

“Lauren was great! Lauren arrived on-time and was excited to meet and walk Fozzie! Fozzie had a great time! I look forward to booking with Lauren again!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 6 years and a Dog Person for over 3 decades! Throughout my life, family, friends, and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their pets, including the dogs I grew up with. From check-ins and playtime to walks and feeding, I’ve done it all. I’ve even been asked to chauffeur a friend’s dog for their wedding! I bring enthusiasm and playfulness to every interaction but prioritize comfort and safety. I want you and your pet to feel seen and secure. And that’s exactly how I care for my own fur baby, Rufus! As the proud mom of a rescue dog with lots of dog pals, I know firsthand that each pet has unique needs, and I lead with that empathy. I can’t wait to show your dog(s) some love! Cue “The Puppy Song” by Harry Nilsson… I'm currently working part-time and am excited to spend some quality time with your pups! I’m available for drop-ins, playtime, and walks on weekdays from 11am - 3pm. I’d love to work with you and your pet to figure out a rhythm of care that fits your needs, but I’m flexible too! Trust and safety are top priorities for me! My own dog's a "runner" so I take extra care when securing doors, gates, leashes, crates, etc. Before I start spending time with your pup, I'll make sure I fully understand your environment and expectations.

“Great communication and detail in notes, Tayler was excellent with my dog and I’ll definitely book again!”

About: I had a family dog growing up and I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter to walk dogs. I’ve always loved dogs and I will treat your dog like my own. My schedule is very flexible, I am currently looking for work so I am able to watch your dog anytime and stick to whatever routine you already have set! I’m happy to care for your dog in their environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Just let me know if there’s anything I need to know about your dog needs or schedule to ensure their comforts while you’re away.

About: I have a deep love for animals and truly enjoy the process of connecting with them. For me, it’s more than just "watching" a pet; I love learning about their unique personalities, specific traits, and individual needs to ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. PS - If you are wanting a house sit it is just me and not Thomas since we live in different areas now. Unfortunately we got an update from our housing authority (in Minneapolis) that we aren't supposed to have dogs 50 lb or more in the condo, so we can not accept bigger dogs unless its for a short duration. Thomas is a homebody and just goes into his art studio for a couple of hours in St Paul Mon-Fri. His hours are very flexible usually from 11:30am-3pm and can be less if needed to be home with a pet. My schedule is also flexible as I do online sales. I put my clients needs first! Ultimately I'm working for you so I want your cares and concerns to be met. I am very happy to use your toys to play with your pet as well as pamper them. Give them just enough attention and space to warm up to me. Let me know if your pets have any dietary needs. I have experience taking care of pets with seizures as well and giving their medicine in with their daily meals.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!

“Very nice person. Very nice rapport with the dog very prompt.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I've always had pets, cats and dogs. My family and friends always have me care for their pets when they need to go out of town or need extra help. I'm always happy to help as I truly do enjoy the connection I have with animals. I have a schedule that allows me to have several days off a week, have a reliable vehicle and I am open to different situations as needed. I would put the safety of the pet's home and their well being as a top priority and make sure to be thorough. I would communicate any concerns or questions with the pet owner.

“Enzo had a blast with Becca at the dog park both days she took him— he was still tuckered out when I got home from work! I also really appreciated the cute action shots Becca sent of their adventures. Enzo will definitely be requesting her as a future walking buddy! 😉”

About: I’ve walked dogs since I was 13 and have a cat right now who takes prozac so I’m experienced with difficult animals as well! I’m currently a student so my time is pretty wide open throughout the day aside from a couple classes! I’m able to walk dogs early in the morning and late at night and even during the afternoon! I have been a cat owner for my entire life so I have immense experience with all types of cats and know what makes them tick (space and food)

About: Have taken care of friends and family’s pets for as long as I can remember. Big animal lover with a big heart and kind spirit. Can’t wait to get to know you and your furry friend! More than happy to take pets out on hikes, walks, brewery hops and movie nights on the couch 🥰. Will give them all the pets and love as if they are my own 💕 I work hybrid in a corporate position going into the office Tuesdays & Thursdays most weeks and working from home Monday, Wednesday & Friday with the weekends off. My apartment is pet friendly with green space all around, near by parks & walking trails and many dog friendly businesses. Would love to explore these with your pup if they are adventurous or have a chill night in for the more relaxed pet 💕 I have my own apartment so will always have complete control of the environment. I keep things very tidy and dog is welcome on the bed and furniture if owner allows. Dog will always be leashed outside of my apartment and treated with the upmost care and love. Will of course get specific consent from the client regarding rules for their specific pooch and am happy to abide by owners request to make them & their animal as comfortable and happy as possible.

“Emily did great with my two pups. I hired her to walk the dogs while my parent's dog was staying with me to make sure they got extra attention. My Finn warmed up immediately, Lily took a little bit but she always came home happy from her walk. She was always on time and sent lots of cute pictures as updates.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a service since 2016. Every animal is different so I enjoy speaking with the owners beforehand and getting to bond with critters that are different than mine. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and love caring for cats. I have cared for Guinea Pigs, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and cattle as well. Farm sitting outside of the Twin Cities area available on weekends only ( Fri.pm-Sun afternoon). Weekly stays available only in Minneapolis due to full-time employment. I’m available weekends for walks and animal care. I’m a full-time employee so weekday evening walks after 5pm work best for my schedule. Previously, I have stayed overnight to keep the in home animals company and keep the house safe while folks are away. I can clean and bring in the mail. Whatever your expectations are I am happy to accommodate.
