Dog Walking Northrup

“Jara is great with my two very different dogs. She is flexible, reliable and helpful! She was very patient with my key screwups! Will hire again:).”

“Bailey was so wonderful to work with. She helped us out in a jam, covering walks for our dog when our dog walker was out of town for an extended period. She was so organized, professional, and helpful. She was very patient with our dog who is definitely a handful.”

Anne A.

“My dog adores Nick! She trusts him and has fun playing with him. She loves her walks with Nick, too. He's so good about picking up on her cues. He's also great about making sure my place is locked up when he leaves and that my lockbox is secure. I'm so happy our family can count on Nick!”

“Alex was great! I introduced him to both of my dogs, and I think they senses his calm, chill vibe and were into it. I am planning to reach back out to him in the coming weeks for walking and house sitting.”

Shawn H.

“Karina was great! Very responsive on short notice and was happy to meet our dog and take her for a long walk. She gave some thoughts on how our puppy is doing with walks, which we appreciated.”

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

“Mari is excellent. She is sweet with our dog, very prompt with messages, and our dog was noticeably calmer after walking with Mari.”

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Henley is a very perceptive and sensitive dog who knows when he’s in the company of a real animal lover. Avita fits that bill perfectly. From the very start, he was happy and relaxed with her.🐶🐾💕 I highly recommend Avita!”

About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!

“She is as always wonderful with our Samantha. Sammy has special elder dog needs and Alisha has been so patient and kind with her , you’d think she was her own.”

Jeanne A.

“Jenna goes above and beyond to care for her client and their pet. Very attentive, accommodating, and respectful of changes and dedicated to making everyone happy. I have great respect for her and she always does a great job and is very transparent. Love having her support and attention to detail especially with my puppy. Means a lot! Can’t recommend a better dog walker/sitter!!”

“Rachel was so sweet with my dog and reliable!”

“Great dog walker! One of my dogs is very anxious around strangers and Hisham handled that really well. Timely communication, punctual, and positive & calm with the dogs. I will absolutely be recommending him to others.”

About: I grew up with big dogs (labs) and now own a 3-year old doberman. I frequently take care of friends pets. My parents and sister both have big dogs that I care for as well. I am comfortable with any age and size dog. I am a recently certified Physician Associate, but am taking time off this fall before starting a job in January and I want to spend it walking doggos around town. I'd love to have somewhat of a consistent schedule so I can get to know the pups (and they can get to know me!). I will be available for walks during the week days. I am happy to go for big walks, or short walks and play time in the yard. I am also happy to bring dogs to the airport dog park to play with other dogs (if appropriate). If friendly, I can introduce your dog to my young dog to play as well.

“Thank you Sara! We appreciate your help!”

“We had a very positive experience with Jade for the two walks she gave our dog Molly this weekend! She generously spent time with our anxious and fearful dog (rescue pup with a major trauma background) on Friday for the meet and greet and didn’t leave until Molly felt comfortable with her. She came back Saturday for a walk, and Molly walked the furthest with her she has ever walked for any other dog walker. Jade is kind and patient and gentle and seems to have a natural understanding of animals, both their limits and needs. She never pushes Molly beyond her comfort level and flawlessly implements strategies to help ease her fear and anxiety. She is also punctual. Once she leaves, Molly is her same happy, healthy and playful self, versus hiding under the bed for a lengthy amount of time, like has happened with other dog walkers. Molly’s behavior after receiving her care is the best testament to Jade’s gentle and loving way with animals. I won’t hesitate to use her again for a walk for Molly. Thank you, Jade!”

“We would highly recommend Ben to care for your pets. He has a clear love of animals and is very professional and easy to work with. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were being well looked after.”

About: Hi! My name is Livi and Children’s Therapist living in the uptown area. I have had and loved dogs/cats all my life and have been pet sitting for a variety of animals consistently for the past 5+ years. I would love the chance to get to know and take care of your pets!! Currently, I am working full time hybrid schedule on Monday-Friday. Typically, my schedule involves being away from the home for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. Besides that my days are very wide open and I am home frequently to make sure no pets feel lonely! Additionally, my weekends are completely free for taking care of your animals! I always do my best to maintain as much consistency as possible for your animals. I want to know their normal habits and schedules in order to keep both them, and you, as comfortable as possible.

“Lisa is awesome! Communicates so well and we felt so confident while we were gone that our dogs were well-cared for the whole time. She navigated our other instructions so well too. Our one dog is a recently adopted rescue, yet loved her and she understood him and was cool with him, we are so relieved, impressed and thankful!”

“Mckenzie was fantastic! Super professional, always on-time, and always checked-in with pictures of my pup while she was walking him. You won’t regret working with her.”
