Dog Walking in New Hope

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

About: I've had dogs almost my entire life and have been taking care of the dogs of friends and family for the past 11 years. This ranges from absolute cuddle bug Yorkies to energetic labs. I work from 6-3:30 Sunday through Thursday, but making sure that the animals in my care have a regular schedule as best fits around that is key. First thing in the morning I'd be making sure the animals in my care have access to food and water and taken outside to do their business as applicable. Once I get home I recheck food and water needs and take care of their play and exercise needs. I have a fenced in yard and depending on the animal's needs, they can be crated or allowed to roam around the house. The specifics may vary depending on the type of pet and the owner's preferences or special instructions.

About: Dogs have always been apart of my life, as I always had a dog growing up and at one point owned 5 dogs. To me having 5 dogs is no different than having 1, as long as you have enough love to go around. All they want to do is love you and make you happy, so how can you not love them in return. I have 3 dogs of my own right now and enjoy spending time with them. I probably spoil them as they know when I come home with bags that there is more than likely a treat or toy for them. I am available any day and time and have a fenced yard. I am reliable and trustworthy and would treat your dog with care, respect and love.

About: Hello! My name is Andy, and I have many years of experience loving and taking care of all sorts of animals! Over the years, my family has had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and bunnies—and we’ve also watched many, many more than that short-term. We are familiar with many types of animals and feel comfortable following your specific instructions for their care. I love animals of all kinds and will treat your pets lovingly with the care you expect and deserve. Spoiling your pet with a lot of love and personalized attention while keeping them safe and secure are my main goals as your pet sitter. I will be as active or relaxed as your dog needs- anything your dog requires for a safe and happy stay, I will gladly provide. I strive to always carefully follow your instructions. I am an animal advocate with extensive animal handlers and training experience. For many years, I have worked as an animal volunteer and foster parent for animals to be adopted. I have a soft spot for dogs of all kinds, and over the years have personally adopted spaniels, terriers, doodles, shepherds, and cats. I promise to treat your pet as if it is my own, play with it, give it tons of attention and love, and make sure it is fed and comfy while in my care. I have cared for my neighbors and friends pets for the past 30 years. I'm known by all as being a loving pet mom. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! I am available daily for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have experience training dogs and working with rescued animals. Our family dogs are rescues and fosters, and they were trained and cared for by me. They are now certified therapy animals. Also, I feel comfortable giving medications and caring for older animals or those with special needs. I have experience working with animals that need extra attention or care due to a rough past or neglect. As their foster mom, my dogs are rescues that came from neglectful situations and had to be nursed back to health. Both have undergone amazing transformations and are happy, healthy, loving, and playful now. I’ve taken care of many very small dogs and understand their specific needs intimately, as my family owns a number of small pets—and I’ve taken care of larger dogs and understand their needs and likes too, as I’ve supervised the maturation and training of several larger dogs. Speaking of training—I’m confident with pets of any level of training! In fact, if anything I’m something of a good influence on untrained animals, owing to my experience training animals over the years. Pets, especially clever pets, love to get a command correct and get a treat for it! As far as more “exotic” pets, I’m comfortable with a lot! I think animals are fascinating and love to meet new ones—even in elementary school I was one of the kids who took care of our class animals, including our snakes (a rainbow boa and a constrictor), and our iguana (aptly named “Iggy”)—so I’m not afraid of interesting animal friends! I’ll gladly watch your peafowl or your domesticated fox or your ferret, and I’ll take care of it like it was my own.

We would love to connect with you at a meet and greet or schedule a play date at a park to get to know you. I'm available every day of the week to walk, house sit, or drop-in on your pets. I enjoy playing with and photographing the animals I care for, giving treats, and reinforcing training. I all love animals and think of our pets as members of our family. We will treat your pet as if they are one of the family too, with much love, cuddles, and stimulating play! I am a photographer and used to work at a pet kennel, but recently moved, so I am available daily for any service you require. I will follow any instructions you leave very carefully, and will communicate with you multiple times daily to let you know how your pets are doing. My schedule is flexible and I'm ready to accommodate your pet care needs, and will send you photos of your happy pet as often as you like! I am currently working from home and am able to dedicate a lot of time to care for your pets!

About: (Work schedule : Mon-Thurs 7:30am-3:30pm) I have been caring for the pets of my family and friends for well over 10 years now. I am the first person they call when they need someone to care for their pet. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, I absolutely love all animals And they hold a special place in my heart. I work Mon-Thurs 7:30am-3:30pm and can schedule around these times; including my lunch break. We can talk about what works for the both of us. I am allowed to care for cats in my apartment only, unfortunately. However, I have ample time to come by your home and care for any animals you may have.

“She has been a lifesaver for a rambunctious lab puppy and work from home fur parent! Highly recommend Jessica for all your pet walking needs!”

“Madilyn is very knowledgeable about dogs and helped with our new 1 year old pomchi who is quite anxious around new people. She took the time to let him warm up to her and helped him feel safe. We'll definitely use her services again.”

About: Have taken care of family dogs off all breeds and sizes. Have been trusted to overnight sit and bathe dogs along with walks! Love to be around all dogs and show them the best love! I am an athletic trainer who is off in the mornings and summer. Have several available days and times that would work for dog walking! I do not have a schedule in the summer so I am available at all times. It is important to me that all pets feel loved and get the exercise that they deserve. All pets will be given treats (within moderation and if allowed) and as much pets as they want! Walks will be focused on the dog, their comfortability, and getting to smell the fresh air!!

About: Hello, my name is Hanna! I live in Crystal, MN, and I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve done many overnight stays and house-sitting gigs for families who trust me to keep their pets happy, safe, and well-loved. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and I currently share my home with my sweet 7-year-old cat, Kanga, who I adore coming home to every day. My own 3-year-old Golden Aussie has megaesophagus, so I’m very experienced with managing chronic conditions, administering medications (pills, liquids, you name it), and following special feeding routines. I also cared for my parents Golden who had epilepsy his whole life, so special-needs pups are no problem, I’m patient, attentive, and always put their comfort first. I have a very flexible weekday schedule right now, so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, occasional boarding, or longer stays during the week. Weekends can be a bit unpredictable, but I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family. Feel free to message me to set up a free Meet & Greet. I can’t wait to help care for your pets like they’re my own!

Weekends can be a bit unpredictable, but I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I have a fully fenced in yard and an extremely friendly golden Aussie. I can take your dog on walks or let them run around in a yard, whatever is preferred. I can crate your pet if desired, but I love to cuddle up with them on the couch/ bed.

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have helped train multiple dogs. I love all dogs and I would enjoy spending time with dogs again since I currently don’t have one. I spend a lot of time with my mom’s dog and frequently care for him when she is out of town. I get out of work by 2:55 everyday except Wednesdays and the last Thursday of each month. On those days I am done with work at 3:20. I am a teacher so I have winter break and spring break off as well. I have a small condo that I own that allows small dogs. I don’t have any pets. If you have a larger dog, I would be happy to come to you. I will follow whatever directions you leave and treat your pet like I would my own. I am a 2nd grade teacher and I’m very responsible. I take my commitments seriously and am very dependable.

About: I love dogs, and would very much enjoy your dog’s companionship in my home, to join me on my daily walks in the neighborhood, an afternoon snooze, treats as allowed by you, and a lot of attention and pets. I am a laid-back person, easy going, relaxed, friendly and would enjoy spending time with your beloved pet. Life is wonderful when shared with a companion! Also, I especially enjoy senior dogs and only take one dog at a time, unless it’s two dogs from the same family. I am retired and home most of the time. My schedule is relaxed, and my attitude is to go-with-the-flow and enjoy the gifts each day brings. On occasion, I go to the grocery store or meet a friend for lunch, but most of the time I am home. My goal would be to do my best to help your dog feel comfortable in my home, and attend to your dog's needs and desires. I will keep your dog safe by making sure they don’t accidentally slip out the door, and I avoid other dogs on our walks. I will send you daily photo updates and a recap of the day's activities. Above all, your pet will be loved, well cared for, and safe.

“Jamie has been great with Ozzy and he loves her so much.”

About: I have lived with dogs & cats my entire life & have owned a cat for 4 years now! I care for my moms dog still & walk her all of the time. My schedule is flexible, I am available late morning to early afternoon Monday-Thursday and in the evening. Weekends are mostly open! so I am available to care for a pet anytime outside of those hours! I own a cat right now so I take care of her daily by feeding, cuddling, changing liter box, grooming. I also walk & help care for my moms dog at her house.

About: I provide calm, attentive care for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors and animals with chronic or complex medical conditions. My experience includes: • Senior pets and mobility‑limited animals • Chronic and debilitating conditions • Medication administration: oral, topical, and injections (IM, SQ, IV) • Strict and specialized diets • Household pets beyond dogs and cats: reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and birds (Drop‑In Visits only - please message me with your pet’s species and care needs) My focus is always on gentle handling, maintaining each pet’s normal routine, and creating a safe, low‑stress environment while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I don’t work outside the home due to health limitations, so caring for your pets, along with my own will be my only focus other than school. Your pets receive consistent attention, predictable routines, and a calm presence throughout the day. I do not offer boarding, but I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I can take your dog for walks, play with them in your yard, or provide enrichment indoors. If needed, I can crate your dog safely and make crate time positive with enrichment and comfort items. My goal is always to follow your routine, so your pet feels secure.

“We’re so grateful for Sarah! Good communication and great with Monte. We were out late, and it gave us peace of mind to know that Monte would be well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Sarah‘s services again!”

Rosa G.

“Jordan is one of the best on Rover. She will go above and beyond when watching your fur baby and document it all so you can read how it went when you get home. I highly recommend her for your future pet watching needs.”

Sydney S.

“Jessica was the dream to work with! She flexed with us when we were dealing with some unknown scheduling details, was so sweet with our quirky dogs, and was so responsive! We will reach out to her for all of our dog care needs in the future. You can feel confident your pups are in GREAT hands with her.”

Jessica V.

“This girl is awesome! She works so well with our dogs (all 3 of those crazy pups) especially our puppy who we’ve been working so hard to train. She has been so patient with him and stays consistent with his training. He walks so much better after working with Lexi! Also gives the best updates and is the best when it comes to last minute needs! So reliable! So lucky to have found her!”
