Dog Walking Saint Michael

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

“We absolutely love Lauren, she always goes above and beyond when she spends time with Ranger. He gets so excited to see her.”

“They did a great job taking care of our puppy and even sent pictures and videos. They communicated promptly and I would definitely use their services again.”

About: I am recently returned Peace Corps Panama volunteer with over a decade of experience with my own dogs, as well as caring for others’ dogs. I grew up with a Vizsla, and took a lead role in training her including obedience, agility, and retrieving. This also provided me with extensive experience with very high-energy, as well as anxious dogs. I have experience with all breeds- large, small, high energy, low energy, etc. I also have experience with older and sick dogs. Over a year ago, my childhood dog sadly passed from a serious form of bone cancer. Due to this, she was very fragile and we had to be very careful about helping her and making sure her days were pain-free. I also have experience with temporarily ill dogs. I also have my own dog that I have had since a puppy who I got in Panama. Lastly, my family has recently fostered some dogs, which provided me with experience with nervous and unsocialized dogs. I am currently on a month-long leave before starting a new role with the Peace Corps, and have complete my open availability. I am very flexible, and will make sure your pup receives the love and attention that they deserve! I continuously research dog behavior and training techniques, so I will cater to each individual dog’s needs. I practice positive reinforcement techniques for training and correction. I have experience caring for dogs with a range of medical and mobility needs, so each dog's care plan will be specialized based on what you, the owner, want.

About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.

“Olivia was fantastic! Great communication! She was able to help out on very short notice and took excellent care of our 3 dogs. Even gave one of your dogs his meds. Thank you, Olivia!”

“Thank you so much for checking in on our fur babies! We appreciate what a good job you do and are always happy when you are available 😊”

About: I recently moved to Albertville, MN and am looking forward to meeting new furry friends! I’ve had dogs for my entire life growing up and now have two dogs of my own. I have years of experience taking care of neighbors, friends, and family members pets providing them with the best care. Available for drop in visits, walks, and home stays in around Albertville and willing to travel up to 30 mins to care for pets. I currently live and work in the Albertville, MN area. I love taking care of dogs and enjoy doing so in my free time or on lunch breaks at work. I have a fairly flexible schedule with my job so I am able to work in multiple visits/walks per day if needed. I have two dogs of my own and do not typically offer in-home boarding due to this. My personal dogs are very friendly and love playing with other dogs. If it is a special circumstance, I would be open to discuss in home boarding.

About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.

“Kacey was great with my elderly dog! She is easy to work with and very responsive with my questions. She was on time and let me know how my dog did on his walk.”

Ann V.

“Cory was excellent with my dog. I would use him again any time.”

Roben H.

“My pup is so much happier on days with Madeline! I come home to a happy, calm dog. Quick to respond to all communication.”

Michelle M.

“Anneka is reliable, a good communicator, very kind and caring. Our puppy gets so excited when she shows up. She has done a great job helping him learn walking manners while burning off energy. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats growing up. I always take care of other animals like i treat my own, if not better. Monday and Tuesday I work 12-4 so I can watch your furry friends before or after. My schedule varies but I'm really flexible. I take care of 3 cats and help out with 3 dogs. I help with other people's animals whenever I can. I have 3 cats. I have toys that my cats can play with and an open area for them to run around. I love dogs, I had a family pit growing up and I loved her. I would throw a stick or ball for her to get, we had fun.

About: Experienced and passionate pet sitter with a lifetime of experience caring for furry friends. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I was often the designated caretaker when anyone was away. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, and more, of all ages, sizes, and breeds. For over six years, I was employed as a dedicated pet sitter for a wonderful family, caring for their beloved dog while they worked until she passed. I am often called upon by my neighbors to care for their pets, and I take pride in delivering the same level of care and attention as if they were my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home for half of the week. This gives me extra time and flexibility to take care of pets as long as I have access to wifi, whether it’s pet sitting at their home or checking on them throughout the day. I’m available from Thursday through Sunday and can provide the attention, care, and love that your pet deserves. Rest assured that your furry family member will be in good hands with me. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions to the letter. This includes feeding, walking, playing, administering medication, and providing any other care that the pet may require. I also make sure to spend time with the pet to ensure that they get enough attention and love while their owner is away. Additionally, I always leave the house as clean and tidy as I found it, so that the owner can return to a comfortable and well-cared-for home.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I have three goldendoodles, Sullie who’s 10, Allie who’s 5, and Marlie who’s 2. I have helped potty train them all and have taught them basic tricks. I have also cared for friends/families pets when in need. I love all animals and enjoy making them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to help. I’m currently a full-time nursing student and have a summer nurse internship working 12 hour shifts, but I have multiple days off throughout the week that allow me to spend quality time caring for pets. My schedule varies, so I keep my availability updated. When I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and dependable care! I always try to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. In your home, I will provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well!

“My Sadie was very happy with her walks, highly recommended, will definitely reschedule.”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I work full time currently 9 hour days Monday-Thursday and a 4 hours day Friday mornings! If your dogs are comfortable being home longer during the day I am more than happy to hangout in the evenings! Fridays midday-Sunday evenings is when I am most available to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!

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.
