Dog Walking North Branch

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I am home daily with my kids, I only leave when I need to go to the store or take kids to an activity. So they won't be left alone for long if at all while in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a safe place to run and play while outside. My house is decent size so plenty of area and all open to them so they feel at home. You can bring whatever you think your animal needs to be comfortable.

“Paige is AMAZING. She shows up on time, sends great pics of what your pet is doing, and updates accurately about the walk. She is great with my pup and my puppy is so happy when I get home. Paige will continue to be our main dog walker!”

“Amber was amazing and very attentive to our dog. We have a Great Pyrenees that can be a handful at times and she was great with her.”

About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. We welcome your fur baby to our Home Away From Home! My family and I will care for and love your fur baby while you are away. Whether it be overnight, drop ins or going for walks, we will care for your pet with love! Your pet will love it here as we have many acres to explore, walk and play fetch with a ball or toy. All of our animals are up to date on shots and other preventions and I would ask that your dog(s) meet this requirement as well so that all animals can stay healthy and happy. Rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of while on “vacation”.

“Aida is the best!! Takes such good care of our high energy golden. Takes her on a nice long walk and I love all the photo updates she sends me:)”

About: I have had dogs growing up, many different breeds and sizes growing up from a young teenager until adulthood, where I have owned numerous breeds. I am currently a stay at home mom. My schedule is wide open. I am home a majority of the day, unless I have ice cream events, but I will block those dates off my calendar so that I'm able to give 100% attention to your furry friend(s). I have a fenced in backyard. Plenty of toys in the back yard to play with, and my 2 danes will keep all of your fur babies running, and playing for hours. Fur babies are allowed to relax on the couch, when they want to take a nap. My kiddos will always love on your fur babies while you are gone. I have a 12 year old, 11 year old, a 5 year old and a 10 month old. All help me take care of our danes by feeding them giving them water, taking them out potty.

About: Hi! My name is Ashlie, I live in Brooklyn Park, MN. I live right across from the Coon Rapids Dam, so there are miles of walking trails right outside my door and a brand new dog park just a block away. I have dog sat often for a variety of dogs for about ten years now. I have a 12 year old westie named Merlin. We love hiking and going to dog parks and breweries together. He’s a very social dog and used to being around other dogs. If you need a dog sitter, I can take your dog on several walks and to various parks each day, they will come home tired and happy! Your dog is welcome to stay in my home or we can stay in your home if preferred. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!! Thank you for considering me! Currently I have a lot of availability. Please message me with the dates you need a sitter. I am currently available all week and during spring break. Please let me know if you’re comfortable with me bringing my dog to your house. He does well with other pets and mostly keeps to himself.

About: I’ve watched after family and friends pets since I was young, and have worked in several professional dog walking/pet sitting settings, it’s what I love to do most, meeting new animals and discovering each personality. There’s nothing better than becoming best friends with new animals every day. I’ve had several professional roles in dog walking and pet sitting, I have a lot of experience with reactive and aggressive pets, as well as disabled pets, mentally challenged pets, medicated/sickly pets, and elderly pets (of all kinds except birds) My hours are always open, I’m hoping to start my own business some day and am wanting to continue taking care of pets while working to make my dream come true I have one cat, and two dogs, short haired White Russian cat, A golden lab, and a husky. I spend most of my time playing and cuddling with my pets, all of my babies enjoy spending time outdoors chasing balls or sun bathing on the porch, our golden lab has seizures so he has to take two different meds two times a day right now, but he is still the sweetest and most excited pup around! He loves to play fetch and run as fast as he can around the yard! Always has to make sure we’re watching him!

About: Hi! I’m Becky, a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup deserves attention, exercise, and love while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and can adapt to any dog’s personality! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m currently not working and have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time each day to give dogs my full attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Caring for animals brings me joy, so I love being able to dedicate my time to it. I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your directions closely for feeding, walks, and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always clean up after the pets, lock up properly, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing everything’s going smoothly.

“Lawrence came on short notice, as weve never had an outsider walk our pitbull, I was kinda hesitant, but upon greeting, he and I talked for a little, and the dog seemed to warm up to him very quickly. It's clear he does this as a profession and astro loved him. On their walk they saw the neighborhood deer roaming and he got an amazing video too!! I definitely recommend Lawrence!!”

“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”

About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.

About: I am a full time overnight sitter and walker. Additionally I am Fear Free Certified in Dog Daycare Handling. I have 13 years I spent at the first Daycare/Boarding facilities in MN to become Fear Free certified. I have 9 years in overnight care, to which my clients have become like family. I am constantly educating myself on how to provide the best care for our pets. Outside of work, I am my friends' go-to pet sitter. It's an ongoing joke that I am never alone. Many clients pets have become deeply a part of my friends lives as well. In 2025 I left the daycare, and have been putting all my time into working for myself as a dog walker. My focus is with off leash, fenced in hikes. I’ve also partnered with a local organization called Canine Inspired Change. They train you and your dog to do therapy dog work. They lend me their training space so that I can have my own mini daycare playtime. It has toys, puzzles, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to enjoy. I pick up and drop off, taking no more than 5 dogs. This way I can ensure safety, and attention to everyone. I also have a passion for pet nutrition. I pride myself on being an extremely accommodating person. Very go with the flow! I have experienced a lot wild situations in my line of work, and I feel I am prepared, and knowledgeable in handling all types of emergencies and situations. Even if they are related to not just your dog, but your home. I am also very excited to have completed a Therapy Dog course at Canine Inspired Change with one of my clients dogs! I am excited to be doing therapy dog work with her. After losing my dog of 17 years in 2025, I decided to quit my job and focus on dog care full time. I spend my days taking 1-5 dogs out on fun excursions! We will rent Sniff Spots, go on long leash adventure hikes, backyard play dates with friends, or enjoy indoor playtime at a local training facility that lends me their playroom space. Your dog will have 24/7 care with me, and enjoy all the perks that my mini daycare dogs do. If I stay at your house, I will stay there overnight to make sure I can accommodate all the dogs needs. I can handle any special needs, or medications required.

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, patient, and comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that means long walks, playing outside, feeding, keeping up with a routine, or just giving them some company, I’m happy to help. I work in college athletics, so being responsible, organized, on time, and communicating well are a big part of my everyday life. I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, especially during mornings and early afternoons, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and taking care of pets throughout the day. I also have days with significantly more availability and can accommodate overnight and weekend care depending on my schedule. I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I take being trusted with someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or other care instructions you provide. I’m also big on communication and will send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying with me, I’ll make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, attention, and plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.
