Dog Walking Stevens Square

“Jenna does a wonderful job with my greyhound Roo! She is attentive to her needs and reports concerns whenever she has them. She even has Roo trying to take me on her longer walking routes! I'm thrilled to have her support in caring for my sweet pup.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole life, starting with the family dog when I was 4. When I was 22, I got my first dog. A basset hound name Charlie who gave me all the lessons in having a new puppy, and a vocal one at that. My most recent dog, a yorkshire terrier named Lucy, sadly passed 3 years ago at the age of 13 after battling heart and kidney problems. What sets me apart, is that I have experienced the life stages of a dog from puppy to old age, and have loved them fully in all of those stages. I've handled the training and high energy and teething stages, and eased them to the other side with the frequent appointments and medications. Having grown up and been around dogs my whole life, I feel they can sense my genuine love for all animals and I have gotten good at helping all dogs eventually feel at ease with me. Like I say to all people who have told me "they really like you", I have great dog vibes. (And am very responsible too). I am in the process of shifting careers and am wanting to take the time to decide where that will lead. I teach 2-3 crochet classes a month on Sundays but besides those times, I can be available any time as long as there is a little notice. For transparency, I will be looking for additional part time work while in this transitioning stage, but I will update my availability and coordinate with current clients with plenty of notice as I do not plan on stopping with Rover. Right now, I am in a place that does not allow animals, but I am happy to visit/stay at homes or take pets out for walks. A typical schedule when I had dogs, was to wake up and take them for a walk right away, then I would feed them and start my day. Additionally, I always made sure to get them out for an evening/nighttime walk. The amounts of time I take them out to the bathroom depends on the age of the dog and whether there are any issues with accidents in the home. As my dog got older, I had to take her out more frequently and make arrangements with others to help me. I I am in tune with dogs while I am with them. I will leave them alone if they are sleeping or are content, but I am frequently talking to them and connecting with them in different ways (pets, throwing toys, singing songs about them, etc..) so they don't feel ignored. After having 3 of my own dogs, I know how different dogs can be (even if they are all good boys and girls). Knowing a little bit about the dog's personality, fears, favorite treats/toys, health status, etc. helps me care for them better, make their environment safer, and keep them comfortable.

About: Iv been with animals for all of my life from fish to hamsters to big dogs. I even graduated from the school of environmental studies. Iv been taking care of our family dogs for years and even helping my grandma s with her own two. In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up. It feels weird not to have an animal by my side Iv delt with both young and elderly animals, giving them medication, care and proper treatment. I was toght to always leave a place in better condition then when you found it

“Alana did a wonderful job with Theo! Her communication was amazing and Theo was relaxed when we came home so I could tell he was well taken care of. His coat looked great too so I could see that she brushed him. I will definitely use Alana again.”

About: ***NEW SCHEDULE: Weekday Evenings after 6PM are free, overnights are fine, but I would be away for work. Weekends always free. Rates are negotiable, I’m reasonable. Thanks!*** - Love all animals like their my own; My favorite breed for dogs are Golden Retrievers and Labradors. Love the Golden and Labra Doodles as well! - Self-titled GOLDEN RETRIEVER SPECIALIST! I can not get enough of Goldens, I had three growing up: Duncan, Murray, and Henry. All had distinct personalities. Duncan thought he was a human. Murray is anxious, moody, and very goofy. Henry is energetic, attention obsessed, pathologically loyal, and can chase a tennis ball (on land or thrown into a lake) for HOURS. They inspired my love of dogs. - I can handle dogs of any size for walks/overnights, I've walked dogs as small as toy Italian Greyhounds and Shihtzus, all the way to Burmese Mountain Dogs and Great Danes. - Genuine, vigilant, and experienced walker and sitter. - Self-titled GOLDEN RETRIEVER SPECIALIST! I can not get enough of Goldens, I had three growing up: Duncan, Murray, and Henry. All had distinct personalities. Duncan thought he was a human. Murray is anxious, moody, and very goofy. Henry is energetic, attention obsessed, pathologically loyal, and can chase a tennis ball (on land or thrown into a lake) for HOURS. They inspired my love of dogs. - Experience primarily with dogs, many cats as well. - Pride myself on excellent communication and thoughtful updates. - Have experience caring for animals that need special love (Elderly, Separation Anxiety, Blind and or Deaf, Medication Dependent, Insulin Injections, and more!) - Will truly bond with your furry companions, providing insight in personality and temperament. - Historically do very well with dogs regardless of their “Male Stranger Danger”. - I take direction very well, and will consult with clients about any specific tasks they may need for their pets or their home (Such as bringing the mail in, watering plants, letting in maintenance or cleaning workers etc.) - As long as the dog is comfortable in the rain or snow, I’ll be the same. Have appropriate gear for rain or shine. I do work from home most days, which means I can give your dog a 15 minute walk every 2 hours so they can do their business as well as a 30 minute walk around 2pm to let them get some more energy out until the evening when I can give your dog a longer walk and all of my attention and love. I can have food placed out at anytime in the day regardless of me working. I have experience with scheduled insulin injections as well as long as the owner lays out specific times. I'm in a new apartment, but as far as safety goes anything that could be harmful to even an infant is stowed away. All medications would be locked in a cabinet in my bathroom which would be shut.

“i’ve been using emerson consistently multiple times a week for almost a year now- he is flexible, communicative and extremely reliable. he does a great job with my large doodle and even was able to manage my two large dogs when i had them both. will continue using emerson and highly recommend!”

About: (I do use they/them pronouns, thank you in advance!) I started on Rover about 6 years ago after leaving my job at a doggy daycare, and have decided to return to Rover after working as a veterinary technician in a high-paced clinic for the past 4 years! When working in a clinic setting I primarily handled patients undergoing anesthesia, but also worked closely with doctors providing care to patients as young as a few weeks up to 20+ years of age. This position taught me how to administer medications, safely handle animals, clean up biohazards, how to win over cats with spicy temperaments, and enjoy working with a wide array of pet personalities. I am comfortable working with any breed (dogs and cats!) of any activity level, and am looking forward to meeting your kiddos! I am currently working Rover as my full-time job while starting up school part time this fall, so I am usually quite flexible fitting your needs into my schedule! While I am not able to board any animals at my home at this time, I am extremely comfortable dropping by your home multiple times a day to ensure your animals are getting the attention they need.

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have had both cats and dogs for the last 20 years of my life. I love spending time outdoors and having a furry companion alongside my adventures. I believe that each animal has a unique personality and that they all have different needs and requirements that need to be met, which I am more than happy to meet. It is always a blast to get to know people’s pets and to see their personality come out even more over time and our bond and the trust between us grows. I am very responsible and am passionate about animal wellness. I will take care of your furry family as if they were my own. Let me know how I can help. :) My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily make time to come care for your pets in whatever way they need. From morning walks, to mid-day play/potty visits, I will happily care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs and cats, and love getting to know their unique personality! I’m happy to care for them in the way that suits them best.

About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

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.

“Always takes the best care of my dog!! Great communication and accommodating my dogs needs. It makes my day when I get to see all the fun routes they take and the cute and funny pictures of my dog😂 thank you Sydney!!!”

I'm physically active but also enjoy a nice snuggle on the couch. So if you have an athlete, couch potato or anything in between, I'm your man. I am professional and easy to get along with. I also have wonderful communication skills. I volunteer for several soup kitchens and food pantries. My life is to be of service to all living creatures through patienceand kindness. Call me with questions or concerns anytime. I look forward to bringing joy and safety to your home. Taking care of pets is a passion of mine. I love all life forms. I have a wonderful little girl that loves guests to play with. It's an everyday thing for us. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. We take long walks and trips to the park often. Snuggles on the couch are typical in this house. Meal time is the same time everyday and when we have guests we always separate the kids during meal time. Just to be safe.

“Sam is great! Very flexible and easy communication for coordinating walks. She made the most out of the 30-minute walks with my dog Beau. I super appreciate that as it's his only exercise right now, and he can be pokey. He was delighted to see her each day and came back every time in a better mood :)”
