Dog Walking North End

About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.

About: I have been walking and boarding dogs since I was in high school. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and many different temperaments and medical needs. I have one dog of my own at home and we go on 2-3 walks a day, as well as play outdoors. She'd love to make friends with your pets! I have my own dog at home who I never leave for more than 4 hours at a time (and typically no more than 4 total in a day). I work predominantly from home and have to go into the office only a couple days a week for a couple of hours. My dog and I take a morning and evening walk every day in the summer (and when it's cooler, during the middle of the day, too) and in the winter we typically walk in the middle of the day for maximum warmth and sunlight. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own who is extremely friendly and chill. She has free roam of the house and sleeps in bed at night but if your dog is used to being crated I can accommodate that! If you're looking for dog walking, we can discuss what length of route would be best for your dog and any preferences your dog has!

About: Hi, I'm Rosie :) I'm a fairly new MN resident from Boston pursuing law school! As a Shih Tzu owner myself, I understand just how special the bond between pets and their families truly is! Here are some things about me: - 5+ years of experience bathing and helping train younger dogs - Comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and conditions - I work from home full-time, so your pet will definitely receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day - I like to keep a close and communicative relationship with owners to ensure you and your pup can trust me <3 - Because I work from home full-time, I have the bandwidth to take regular breaks for walks and playtime. I have to walk my puppy about 5x/day, so your pet will definitely have playtime and plenty of walks. - Due to my work environment, I'm open to same-day bookings! - I have a spacious living room, large couch, and secured balcony. I maintain a clean environment, giving your best friend a comfy home to be in - My environment is best suited for smaller/medium dogs, but I'm open to dogs of all ages (puppies to seniors) - I love and am happy to send photos and messages throughout the day! - Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture - My goal is always to make your pets feel safe and at home while you're away <3

“Katelyn does a wonderful job with my somewhat reactive dog. She’s communicative and friendly and knowledgeable about dog behavior. Roo says thanks Katelyn!”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.

“Michelle did an amazing job with Daisy. Very timely with communication in the booking process. Very impressed and will be the first place we look when we have walking needs!”

“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”

“Melissa was great! She connected with our dog, who looked forward to her arrival each day. was prompt and friendly. I will hire Melissa again without hesitation.”

“Robert was great to work with. He and Waffle got along really well. Robert took the time to do a meet and greet and visit before the first walk, even on a short notice. Robert has been flexible and accommodating with his schedule to meet our needs. After the walk, he sent us detailed comments and photos of their walk. I plan on continuing to work with him on an ongoing basis. I feel like Waffle is in good hands!”

About: I've had many pets since I was a toddler. Anything from hamsters, reptiles and of course dogs and cats! I love going for walks with dogs and playing with cats! I always make sure to be attentive to their needs and to be sure that they are well cared for. Im currently working part time as an Uber driver so my schedule is pretty open. Availability is usually from 9am to 8pm daily as im able to stop rides when I want. I am also able to board dogs and cats in my home. I live in a home with an un fenced yard, when boarding I can crate your dog when im away, no more than 4 hours at a time. I usually stop by home multiple times a day so I can easily care for your pet throughout the day. I do rent out my spare room on airbnb so they must be good with people coming and going.

There is a cat in my home who is good with other animals and very friendly himself.

“I have a 1 year old German Shepard, who is pretty friendly for the most part but still has a lot of puppy in him. Full of energy and selective hearing =) Donna has been great for my boy and provides great updates on the walks she has taken him out on. I am very pleased with Donna. I will continue to use her as often as possible.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Whether it’s administering medications, deep-cleaning litter boxes, or taking them on long walks I am currently working mornings and evenings so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to play with your pet and taking long walks. I’ve done house sitting at others home and have respected all of their wishes with their pet and their home. It is better for pets to stay in their home so they are comfortable.

“Phoebe has a 6th sense about what dogs need I think. She was terrific with our bashful Abby, being able to adapt to Abby only wanting to take a short walk and instead spending the rest of the walk time giving Abby extra love and belly rubs. We will definitely will call on Phoebe again!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families. I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning. My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.

About: I have grown up around pets all of my life, having had multiple dogs and cats throughout. As a teenager, I would be trusted by neighbors to sit multiple pets at a time while they went on vacation. More than that, I am familiar with senior pet care and administering oral medicine. I am currently working part-time so I am available and ready to handle pet care most days of the week, including weekends. More, I am able to do early morning and late night care. I can create a safe environment for your pet by finding their comfort and acknowledging what they need within the home. Likewise, on walks, I am able to handle large dogs and other animal contact, making sure your pet stays safe in my care.

About: 🌿 Loving, Experienced, Home-Based Dog Care Hi! I’m Shontay, and I’ve been a dog mom for over 10 years. My own dogs are spoiled, well-trained, and great with visitors. I work from home full-time, so your dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection all day long. 🏡 Safe, Comfortable Home Environment I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door that makes potty breaks and outdoor play easy. I’m patient and experienced with helping dogs learn how to use the dog door, especially shy or younger pups. My dogs are potty trained and friendly with other dogs, so everyone settles in quickly. 🐾 Special Love for Nervous & Skittish Dogs One of my regular clients has a very skittish puppy who doesn’t like many people, but he bonded with me immediately—that’s how I earned the job. I move slow, speak gently, and let dogs set the pace. I want every pet to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in my home. 💛 What Your Dog Can Expect Here • A calm, loving environment • Lots of outdoor time in a fenced yard • Patience, guidance, and structure • Respect for their personality and comfort level • Updates so you always know how they’re doing I’d be honored to care for your dog like one of my own while you're away.
