Dog Walkers in Rustad, MN

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to consider me. I've been a lifelong pet owner, and welcome all types of animals! I spent two years in the professional dog boarding industry, and now I'm looking to work on a more personal level with my two and four legged clients. I'm comfortable handling dogs and cats of all ages, temperments, and medical needs. Patience and kindness is my motto. I promise to treat your furbabies like they were my own, and send you lots of photo updates! Notable past clients have included a 20 year old orange tabby, 2 guinea pigs, and a terrier mix overcoming severe fear and anxiety issues. No animal is too big or too small, too old or too large. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions! - Kathryn I consider pet care to be my full time job! My schedule is flexible, with one standing commitment: I volunteer at Cat's Cradle shelter on Thursdays from 4pm-6:30 pm. I stay positive, calm, and gentle in my interactions. My patience is my best asset for building trust with your pet. I want them (and you!) to feel like they're in safe hands while you're gone. I like to stick to their routine as much as possible to help keep them relaxed and happy. I also make sure their environment stays tidy and clean.

“Adam did an awesome job with our dogs! Scarlett doesn’t always have the best social skills with new people, but he handled her like a pro and she warmed up fast. Luka had a rough start not feeling the best, but Adam took it all in stride and kept both dogs safe and happy. This walk was a prep for upcoming house sitting, and it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he communicates well, goes above and beyond, and really cares. Highly recommend!”

“Responded quickly when we unexpectedly needed a walker last minute. Followed all requests for our dogs care to the letter and made sure she had long walks to enjoy and stretch.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was very young. I have experience with young, energetic dogs and older, senior dogs, as well as all ages in between. I have been a regular in home dog sitter for many clients for over 2 years. I am a full time enrolled college student. I take private lessons with my professor over the summer one day a week for 30 mins. I am usually very open and available When I stay in your home, my goal is to make it like I was never there. I am a very clean person so i clean all dishes I may use, and I aim to have the smallest footprint possible while giving the best care to your fur babies. I will also do check-ins with pictures in the morning/nigh based on request. I have also taken care of dogs at my personal home. At my house, I have a large, fenced in backyard and a friendly GSP/Lab mix who is 8. My home is also quite large and i have my own room in which your fur babies would stay with me.

“Boomer loves Kish! She is so patient with him and sends pictures of their outing. She enforces his manners training. She is very prompt and a great communicator.”

About: I've taken care of pets for over 20 years. Friends, family and neighbor approved! Have experience with crate training, walking and feeding dogs and cats! I work full-time but would love to make time for your pets! I have a flexible schedule in the evening and on the weekend. Happy to help with your pet needs. I prefer to have the pets on a leash and will accompany them outside for potty breaks if that is ever needed for the pets safety!

About: I have grown up with pets being a huge part of my life. Right now I have my sweet girls Paris and Rana. Paris is a four-year old Golden Retriever and Rana is a rescue kitty from Furry Friend's Rockin' Rescue. We adopted her in 2020! I grew up with cats, and although I didn't get my first dog until I moved out on my own, she has truly made me fall in love with being a dog mom. There's something special about the genuine love that all pets give us, and there's nothing I'd love more than to help take care of yours when life gets busy. Our pets are family. They will be in great hands and will get all of the love that they deserve! I am a full-time musician, but most of the time my Monday-Friday consists of spending time with my own pets before I hit the road! Although my schedule is unpredictable, it does leave room for even more flexibility and the ability to take last minute drop-ins/walk requests! I will always put your pets safety and happiness first. I know how terrifying it can be to leave your pets' care up to someone you've never met, but can assure you they will get nothing but love and attention during my drop-ins! I am unable to have pets come to my own home as it stresses my rescue cat out too much, but love doing drop-in visits at your convenience! I am someone who runs half marathons and walks for fun... So there is nothing I'd love more than to help walk your sweet fur babies as well!

“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together. She brought the puppy on a 1-2 mile walk every day and tried to get his energy out. She was prompt and provided daily feedback with pictures. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have helped friends and family care for their pets when they are gone. I even helped a neighbor friend when I was in middle school take care of his dogs when his family was out of town. I enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs. I get summers off from my full time job. I will have a part time job which is scheduled on my terms. Therefore I have availability in my schedule to have several "clients" and fulfill required tasks. I have a fenced yard. Also take my dog on several walks especially in the summer. He enjoys playing tug of war in the house with his toys. He also gets exercise running up to the front window to bark at cars going by. :)

About: I’m a full time pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who need extra support. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, rats, tortoises, and fish, and I’m always open to caring for other species as well. I believe every animal is unique, so I take the time to understand their routines, quirks, and comfort levels. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with a variety of medical needs, including medication administration and monitoring special conditions. At home, I have a long haired Golden Retriever and a Shepherd, so I’m no stranger to grooming, brushing, and managing fluffy coats. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, snuggles, or space, I meet them where they are. With full time availability and a genuine love for animals, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available full‑time, seven days a week. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate most booking requests, including last‑minute needs. I create a calm, pet‑friendly environment. I monitor pets closely, follow all care instructions, and make sure they have a clean, comfortable space. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or a quiet place to decompress, I’m committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care.

About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for a new opportunity to be around animals this summer and get outdoors whether it’s walking pets or playing outside with pets. I have had 3 big dogs growing up and currently have 2 cats of my own that I adopted from homeward animal shelter. I always ensure that any animal in my care gets all the love that they can and that they have all the needed supplies, toys, and treats.

About: Hi there - thanks for checking out my profile! :) EXPERIENCE/BACKGROUND: I have had dogs from the moment I was born up until now. I love to be outdoors and stay active so providing the proper care for any and all dogs has always been a breeze. With that, my husband’s aunt is a vet, which means that any concerns or questions that I have can be answered with a simple text or call! I personally have owned medium to large dogs my entire life, but I’ve had plenty of exposure to small and giant dogs too through family and friends - I’ve always been the “go-to!” Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions - I would love to provide all the answers you need in order to make sure you feel confident and comfortable booking with me! ***I do require a meet-and-greet with all of my clients to ensure that myself and your dog are a good fit! :)*** SCHEDULE: —Weekends (SAT and SUN): pretty open and flexible! —During the week (M-F): anytime after noon! —Note: there may be times where my toddler will need to come with me, but that will only happen if you, your dog, and myself feel safe and comfortable with that. EXPECTATIONS: If you are so kind to allow me to come into your home to take care your dog or to take your dog for a walk within the community, I will leave your home exactly as I found it. I also will follow any instructions you provide on how to leave your home and dog on my way out. To sum it up, I will respect your home just as well as I will respect you and your dog!

About: As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I understand how much pets mean to their families. After raising a Min Pin for 16 years and a Bull Terrier for 11, I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for many pets through sitting and walking services while living in Germany, always providing loving, attentive care. Treating every pet like family! I work as a paraprofessional and am currently off for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I maintain a consistent routine and can still provide reliable care. In your home, I can make multiple visits throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention. At my home, while I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a large open yard with a field behind our home and several nearby walking paths. Pets in my care receive plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and supervision to keep them safe, happy and comfortable.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. During that time I experienced my dogs go through every stage of life and was able to care for them through it all. Im currently only Doordashing this summer, so I have a very flexible work schedule. I will be leaving for a 2 week trip at the start of August, after that my schedule will have to work around school. I have taken care of my dogs since I was young. Caring for them and for any pet is an ever changing task and I find myself able to easily adapt to those changes.

“Mindy was great! I will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”

“My first time using Rover, Michelle was very nice, came over to meet us before the visit, and kept me updated. She made me feel much better about having a stranger come over and walk my dog.”
