Dog Walking Pokegama

“My dog has multiple weekly appointment with Elyse. She is reliable, accommodating, communicates exceptionally well, and is totally trustworthy! We love having such a stellar dog-walker in our lives! 🐾 In a heartbeat, would recommend Elyse to anybody who is searching for a reputable person for their pet care needs.”

About: I grew up around many dogs of various ages and sizes. My mom is a dog groomer and my great aunt is a retired dog groomer and boarder. I have 2 dogs of my own and provide the best care possible. I also have a lot of experience caring for small pets so can provide basic care for them too while checking in on your dog! My free time is always geared towards giving attention and care to my own pets, I’d love to be able to help assist others with providing proper care to their own pet! I am very aware of surrounding situations and will never put your dogs in harms way. I will care for your dogs like I do my own and hold the same level of safety when it comes to walks and playtime. My walks will include “training” if needed to help teach your dog how to safely walk on the leash.

“Sabrina was very helpful and communicative. Really appreciated her responses, quick thinking and support with our high anxiety dog.”

About: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.

“Christina is wonderful with our 4 month old puppy Dolly. She has been very helpful in the training and socializing processes. She is very kind, patient, courteous and responsible. Christina communicates all needs or issues respectfully. Christina does her best to accommodate any changes to Dolly’s walk schedule. We feel 100% confident that Christina cares for Dolly as if she were one of her own. My husband and I can not say enough good things about Christina. If we could we would definitely give her way more than 5 stars. We would 100% recommend Christina to all of our family and friends.”

About: I simply adore animals! I will provide loving, playful, patient, high quality care that will leave your fur babies begging for more! I am able to administer medications and general care as specified. I also offer nail/claw trims for dogs and cats for $20. Just check the bathing/grooming box. I prioritize play, so even drop ins will get plenty of entertainment! Supervised puzzle feeds, or playing with favorite toys, or whatever pops up in the moment. Pup-led play is usually the most fun! My schedule is fairly open most of the time, but I am going to be starting trade school to become a barefoot specialist for equines sometime in 2026. I need a flexible work schedule so I can trim my case study horses, and the horses I already trim for a friend. - REGARDING OVERNIGHT STAYS! My rates are for ONE 12 hr overnight visit. If you need me for consecutive nights with drop ins during the day, my rates increase to cover each drop in. Walks, nail trims, daily brushing are also an additional cost. These additional charges will be discounted, not my full rate. Let's discuss it 😃 My kitties and I enjoy a peaceful life out in the country. We're new to it, and it's not our house, so I am not currently offering boarding or doggy daycare. I am incredibly respectful of others' spaces. I follow the 'leave no trace' hiking guideline into clients' homes! I respect privacy and will never invite strangers in or take photos for any other reason than to update you, the owner.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.

“Audriana is fantastic! She gives my updates of how my puppy is doing on his walks and sends me pictures. She also gave me over a months notice when she was going to be out of town and not able to walk my little guy. Would HIGHLY recommend Audriana.”

About: My goal is to make your time away from your family member as stress free as possible for both of you. I honestly didn't create this account solely for a few extra dollars, although that's a nice bonus. I just love having extra dogs around, and my dog appreciates the company too. Socialization is (should be) a life long process after all. I have a fully fenced yard for potty breaks and we get out for walks daily. A little about me...I'm 37 and I've been in Duluth for 19 years. I moved here to attend college, and loved it so much I never left after graduating. I work from home full time for UnitedHealth Group, which my dog, Copper, is a huge fan of. I adopted him in April of 2023 and I'm looking forward to showing him a lifetime of adventures. I'm well versed in the areas of dog training and behavior, as well how dogs communicate with us and with one another. A little about my pets... Miss Nala, who's pictured in some of my photos, passed in February of 2023 after almost 14 years of being the best bud I could've asked for. I absolutely think Pitties are the best dogs out there, but decided on a breed that would be a little more hardy for our MN weather this time around and that's how Copper came into my life. I'd be happy (perfer) to set up a meet & greet before hand for everyones peace of mind. Just like people, two friendly dogs may not always get along. Of course, there's no fee for this! See my calendar for availability. Please note, although I work from home, weekday availability begins at 3pm unless the pet is okay being crated or trusted unsupervised during my work hours (to be let out for playtime/potty breaks while I am on break). Your pup will be treated like family and will have my undivided attention while in my care. Lots of space for playtime in my fenced backyard and plenty of comfy furniture inside to relax on. :)

“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”

“I received a cuter pic of my dog sitting so pretty than I’ve ever been able to take. Sav was punctual and had good communication throughout. I know my dog is in good hands. Will book again!!”

About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.

About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was born and love providing care for them. My grandparents also owned a dog kennel so have always been aware of proper exercise, care, and support for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Lastly, I am in school to become a nurse so caring for others is a passion of mine! I currently am a college student moving back to Duluth over the summer and work two jobs which allow me the availability to pick and chose the days I work so if enough in advance I am very available to fit pet care into my weekly routine any day of the week! I have a half fenced in yard at my house but also very aware of the area and neighbors surrounding. I have easy access to hook up a long leash for the dog to play while I supervise as well as, no other dogs live with me.

About: Hi! My name is Anna! Since I was five I have always been around dogs. I would dog sit for my grandmother's three corgis, a few coworkers of my mom, even friends and relatives. Having a dog of my own I understand the responsibilities that are entitled. I've had experience with giving animals medicine too, so that isn't a problem for me! I promise I will give your dog my full attention whether it be for food, potty breaks, or even a good ear scratch! If any problems arise I will make sure to contact you with any and all questions I might have! Long walks are my favorite and very therapeutic, so why not give a dog a little exercise in the mean time? I am hardworking, attentive, cautious, able to follow explicit care instructions, reliable, and trustworthy towards any and all dogs and people I come across! I hope I can have the opportunity to work with you and your furry friend! I work early afternoon/evenings four days a week, so if you need someone to hang out with your pal during the day while you're at work, then I'm your gal! I am super attentive to all animals in my household. Potty breaks, exercise, food, I keep up with any and all needs. Im gentle, friendly, respectful of space and chill.

About: I have been a pet sitter for friends and family for years! My brother has three German shepherds that I dog sit every time he goes out of town. I have also dog sat for small and medium size dogs too! When I was in high school I took care of someone's kitten within my home for 6 months and it was a life changing experience! I absolutely adore all pets. My new roommate is very allergic to dogs and cats so I am trying to find my pet fix somewhere! Spending time with dogs and cats reduces stress for me and is something that I highly value. I am an adaptable person who can handle any and all needs! Also, I am a very active person and would love to take your pups on runs! I just moved in with someone who is allergic to cats and dogs after living with these animals my entire life. Spending time with cats and dogs reduces my stress and anxiety. I couldn't imagine my life without being around pets so I thought becoming a pet sitter would be the perfect thing! I am an active person as well and growing up I would take my dog on runs. If that is something you would be interested in as well, I'm your girl! My old roommate whom I lived with for 3 years had a cat and we had a schedule for feeding him and cleaning his litter box. Living with him was such a joy! We would cuddle and play everyday. I would also give him fresh fish for treats! The other pets that I am around the most are my brothers German shepherds whom I take care of roughly 6 weekends a year. They are really big dogs that need a lot of food and exercise! They listen very well so we have established a routine that works well for everyone. They get let out to go to the bathroom and while they are out there I prepare all of their food dishes. Then I usually play fetch with them for awhile! When it is really nice out I let them stay outside for as long as they want. They love to come on runs with me, but I only take them one at a time or else I would be flying instead of running!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, from puppies to the elderly. They’re all adorable! I have experience giving medication such as pills and ear drops. I love all dogs and will clean up a mess they’ve made even if it’s inconvenient. Baths are always a struggle for most dogs, but I think of it as a fun challenge! I’m always putting my all into caring for your pet! I’m currently attending college, so I will take care of your adorable dogs when I’m not at school or at work! I have class on Thursdays, and I work at my internship on Tuesdays and Fridays! I also work my part time job in the evenings Monday-Friday. My more flexible availability would be on Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends! But if you need me to help out on any day of the week we can talk and we can try to work it out! I have always had plenty of animals in the home growing up! I’ve taken care of puppies and older dogs, I love them all! I’m always willing to go the extra mile to make sure they get what they need. You just need to communicate what their needs are and I will do my best! Your dogs comfort and happiness is my top priority always! I have experience with cats as well! I rescued a kitten on the side of the road almost 2 years ago and now I have a love for cats! :) I have a younger cat and an older cat so I have experience with cleaning ears and giving meditation!

About: I have had all types of animals since the age of 4: Dogs, rescue dogs, cats, bunnies, ducks, chickens, birds, horses, etc. It’s safe to say I have a ton of experience, knowledge, and confidence when it comes to caring for your furry friend! I am a public school teacher, so I won’t be available between 8am to 5pm during the work week. I am extremely flexible and can make most accommodations work. I am able to do anything to make your pet feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. This will require clear and direct communication about your pets character and habits to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable.

About: I work a doggie daycare/boarding kennel. I love what i do and don't ever plan on going anywhere else. That is why i signed up on here. So i could continue to help people with their fur babies in a time of need. I do it as employment 5 to 6 days a week in the mornings. I work at a doggie daycare/ kennel boarding facility. I bathe do nails teeth and ears also. I would walk dogs, can do drop in visits or afternoon shifts sitting with the animal also. I would love to spend time with your pet and make them smile.
