Dog Walking Standish

“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.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

“Rob was filling in while our other dog walker was on vacation for two weeks. I highly recommend Rob! He’s like a dog whisperer :-). Very intuitive, patient, flexible, timely, and an excellent communicator. Charlotte enjoyed her walks with him. He truly will be missed.”

About: While I do not have a dog of my own, I love caring for and playing with my friend’s dogs and love learning their unique personalities. I am full time pet sitter while I focus of a career change. I am reliable, trustworthy, and care deeply about your pets wellbeing. I communicate clearly and promptly and want to give you the peace of mind that your animals are being cared for well. I have a fenced in back yard and a cat. I do not have access to a crate so if that is necessary, it would need to be provided.

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.

About: Hello pet parents of Minneapolis! My name is Rebecca, and I am here to offer you top-notch pet sitting services. With a profound love for dogs, I provide personalized care that ensures your furry friend is not just looked after but truly pampered. Whether you need assistance with dog walking or drop in (looking to board after my first month on here), I have the experience and dedication to handle it all. Each walk is filled with fun and exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. When it comes to check ins, being gentle and respectful of their space and needs is my top priority. As a pet sitter, I offer a safe and loving environment while you're away. You can rest assured knowing that your pet is in capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog and understands their needs, please feel free to message me. I am eager to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have a flexible work schedule that does need me to travel sometimes for overnights. No traveling would occur during boarding. My dog of 5 years passed away earlier this year and I am looking for an outlet to scratch the pet-itch. We often did morning, afternoon, and evening walks. He was a reactive dog that was kid and dog aggressive, so we implement positive reinforcement training to successfully reduce reactivity. Caring for our furry friends means more than just taking them out for walks and feeding them. It is a time to connect and understand their needs. I’ll never push a dog to like me by petting them when they aren’t ready. I have an understanding of dog body language that I pay attention to. Play is one of my favorite ways to connect with animals - each one will have a different play style that I’ll be attuned to.

“Great First Experience with Rover I used Rover for the first time to find a last-minute dog walker, and it was a fantastic experience. My walker was super communicative, accommodating, and made the process stress-free. I got updates, photos, and a happy pup at the end. Highly recommend and will use again!”

Bridget B.

“Thank you for being so flexible at the last minute, especially with our first walk! Riker had a great time and has been relaxed and tired out the rest of the day — exactly what we wanted. I’ll likely be in touch for a weekly walk!”

Sarah C.

“Sally is such an excellent addition to my first dog owner experience. Having her come by my place when I have to work in office allows me to focus on my work and keep this ship sailing. I trust she will take care of my pups and leave my place locked and safe. Sally is reliable and a strong communicator on top of being a gifted animal handler.”

“Emilie was great with our dog Linus! She was very responsive and lovely with our old dog. I appreciated her quick and thorough responses and care when walking Linus.”

About: Hi I’ve had dogs of all sizes and medical conditions for my entire life. We are able to manage medications and special needs with great care. I have also been a volunteer at a pet rescue and do home checks to ensure safety for new owners. I am a nurse and I work full time with only ends up being 2-3 days a week so most of the time I am home with our toddler. We recently lost our old lady dog so our house is fully accommodating and accessible dogs of all sizes and mobility. We live in a townhouse so we do not have a lot of yard space but we have community areas and a great walking path and route for walks! We also have a toddler so our house is baby proofed and we monitor heavily for anything that may be a safety issue, this directly translates for our four-legged company!

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had cat for most of my life and been a dog groomer for the past 6 years. I've been safety certified and senior dog handling certified. Dog grooming as given me experience with a wide variety of pets with different needs and temperament. I have pet sat for many clients, friends and family. I have experience administering medications for dogs and cats. I'm currently taking a break from Dog grooming. I need my dog fix! I am available for mornings and evenings as well as overnight stays. I give the pets some time to get used to me in their space before I interact with them to not overwhelm them. I'm experienced at reading pet body language

“My dog Charlie is 50 pounds of energy very difficult to walk. I've only had her for about 4 months. She pulls and lunges towards other dogs and anything else with four legs. Lauren has handled Charlie very well and has been flexible with my changing schedule. I highly recommend Lauren. I trust her with my Charlie.”

“Molly truly treats your dogs like they’re her own. She fully embraces their personality, faults, quirks, and all. Anyone would be lucky to have their pets’ taken care of by Molly, they’re in GOOD hands!🤍”

“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”

Geordan B.

“Launa is a gem. She is patient and understanding with my dog’s quirks ;) She has been reliable and available for repeat walks and I really appreciate that.”

Sophia L.

“Daniel was the perfect choice for Teya, our super lovable high energy Vizsla. It was an instant connection. He kept us updated on pickups and sent great pictures. We highly recommend Daniel!”

Sharon C.

“Haidyn is great with my pets! She provides ample exercise, love, and attention while also being very timely in communication. Haidyn has also done great with meeting the needs of my puppy, who isn't fully trained. There are things I'm trying to work on with the pup, and Haidyn does well in being consistent with my training.”

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
