Dog Walkers in Saint Peter, MN

“Dexter is usually nervous around new people, but he fell in love with Elizabeth right away. She gave him a good workout on their walk, and he is a happy boy.”

About: I love pets, walks, and the great outdoors! I grew up on a farm where I cared for goats, rabbits, hens, horses, cattle, cats and dogs. Growing up, we always had inside pets, including kittens and puppies. As a teenager, I regularly pet sat for neighbors who had cats and dogs, which gave me a wide exposure to different breeds, personalities and schedules. As an adult, I've raised and successfully trained two puppies (small and large breed) into adulthood. I also adopted and rehabilitated 1 dog from a shelter, and 2 cats. Over the years, I've cared for several dogs and cats for friends and family, including (small and large breed) senior dogs. I have experience interacting with anxious and fearful pets, in addition to administering their medications. I work from home, which allows me to provide dedicated care and attention to your pet. During work hours, I can offer frequent potty breaks and play time in our fenced backyard. In the morning and evenings, I can take your dog for long walks on nearby trails and post-walk cuddles. Overnights can be in a kennel, couch or bed. I approach each pet with calm energy, understanding they each have their own needs and personalities. I abide by my client's preferences to ensure their pets will be comfortable and safe. When I house sit or walk new dogs, I adapt to their space as much as possible. When I board dogs, I integrate them into my environment, ensuring they feel welcome. I have a fenced backyard with a pond, perfect for fetching. I have two kids (11, 15) and a small breed (male, Jack Russell terrier) named Tony, who sleeps on their beds. Tony gets along with all dogs, but also enjoys sleeping in his kennel, when necessary. We have several rooms available, if your dog prefers privacy. We live close to a veterinary clinic, several city parks, dog parks, and walking trails. Please let me know how to best accommodate your pet's needs.

“Tanner was great! Dexter liked walking with him.”

About: I have raised quite a few dogs on my own. I have two currently that have been raised and trained since puppies. Able to care for large dogs and go for long walks to burn off that extra energy! I work a flexible, work from home job that allows me to be able to pop in and out as needed. Preferably in Saint Peter or open to larger area in the afternoon and evening. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to play in, and a large home for dogs to find their space. I have a separate part of the house if your dog prefers to be alone and unbothered.

About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, there’s never been a day in my life where I haven’t been near an animal! Not only can I care for your dogs or cats, but I can also care for any other pet that you may have. I know how to adjust to their personalities and care for them in ways that they need. I currently work at a school, which allows me to be fully available during the summer months, as well as on select weekdays after school hours. I will be available after school from 3:30pm to 5:30pm on Tuesday-Thursday. During the summer I am available Tuesday-Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm. While working at a school, I’ve developed patience, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to consistent routines—qualities I apply to every pet I care for. I strive to make your pet comfortable and happy in their home. When coming to your home, I respect your guidelines and boundaries; I will stick to your feeding instructions, walking schedule, any behavioral cues or commands your pet knows; and frequent communication regarding your pet.

“Cassie has been. Rey patient and flexible as we’ve been establishing our schedule. She takes the cutest pictures and texts them to me at work. It has made it easier to leave my Charliedoodle and go to work.”

About: I have pet sit dogs for several years including pups with special unique needs like diabetes, anxiety, etc. I am familiar with medication administration and I love dogs of all sizes! Especially pits :) Currently I work four days a week, so I am fully available Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays at any timeslot or evening visits any day of the week. I am available anytime during those three days which allows for focused pet care! I like to create a calming environment and then match the animals energy. I am totally down to play fetch or with toys, as well as being quiet company for someone who is maybe more shy. I respect animals boundaries very well and find it vital to build trust with them in order for a successful visit.

“Maisie was awesome with our greyhound! She walked her for a full hour, about 2.5 miles. She was great to communicate with and super friendly! Will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years now, I love it everyday and I hope to expand my little business to more of you. If you have any more questions or want references please let me know. My neighbors just got a new puppy and I help out with her as much as they need. I have a full time job. Monday - Friday from 6am-2pm! I can work around those hours and help as much as needed for your pets to be comfortable! My own dogs have a hidden electric fence and they are very trained in that and they know what happens if they cross the fence. They get shocked. Sometimes they don’t follow that but we are trying are best to keep them in.

“I would definitely recommend Shenice. She handled my wild child like a pro. She kept me informed on everything my dog did and even sent photos. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: I have had pets my whole life that have lived in the house. We have dogs, cats, and even a lizard I have taken care of! I was home alone a lot so taking care of my animals is first priority and a habit. I am a college student and working a seasonal job so there is times to for me to show your pet some love and taken care of! I have no pets at our apartment but we do live close to some parks and our backyard has plenty grass to play in! There is room if your pet has to be crated as well!

About: I grew up caring for my two dogs and two cats, giving me extensive experience with both species from an early age. I currently help care for my friend's dog with walks and potty breaks when she is away, and I frequently snuggle and bond with my roommate's cat. What sets me apart is my constant supervision from my remote job and my genuine appreciation for each pet's unique personality. I am comfortable handling animals in various environments, and I have personal experience going on adventures and hikes with my friends' pets. I love directing my attention and extra love toward their individual characteristics. Since I work a remote, part-time job, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking myself on walks and would love to add a furry companion to the mix, ensuring they get multiple, long walks and frequent outdoor breaks. While I don't have a fenced yard, I am available to provide frequent, potty breaks and am committed to walking your dog multiple times daily for exercise and enrichment. Safety is my top priority, and I am careful to secure all doors and follow all of your instructions.

About: I have experience with all sorts of breeds! I have helped trained all 5 of pur family dogs and 3 of my friends dogs. Potty training, kennel training, excessive bark training, leash training, and re call training. I also have experience with diabetic and senior dogs. I love to make sure that your pet is getting the excersise needed for their breed. If thats dping puzzles, fetch or walking! Im currently working part time with a loft of flexibility as I create my own schedule. I do daily walks (getting my steps in is a priority for me) I follow the instructions left by pet parents. I make sure to slowly introduce myself to pet. Making sure we are both comfortable before moving on to task. IE playing, walking, being let out on lead. I make sure that if your pet is sleepy they are fully awake before rushing into things. While we are getting used to each other I let your pet guide me on walks (while keeping them safe)

About: My experience comes from life. I’ve taken care of bunnies, reptiles, cats, and dogs. For dogs specifically, I worked at a doggy daycare before moving here, and before that, I watch many of my family friends' animals while they went camping or traveling. I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs including Great Danes, senior cats and dogs along with lots of puppies. I’ve also had a bit of training experience with puppies. As far as bunnies go, my roommate for a year has bunnies, and some friends from home do too. While living with my roommate, I’ve watched her bunnies many times while she was away. My best friend has reptiles that I’ve fed and taken care of as well. Since leaving the doggy daycare and moving, I have truly missed the joy of connecting and building bonds with animals, and there’s nothing like having the pet parents proud or happy with the work you’ve done. I am currently working part time so I’m very flexible on time. Mornings before 10 are almost always completely open. My shifts go for 5 hours maximum when I do work. I minimum like to spend 30 minutes with any animal to be sure all of their needs are met however, if it looks like the animal wants more, I end up staying for an extra 10-15 minutes so the animal can also gain a level of comfortability with me. I like to leave knowing that the animal is cared for but more so content with the attention and love that they deserve to have every day.
