Dog Walking in Summit-University, Saint Paul, MN

“SO wonderful with our energetic rescue dog! We needed someone to walk her during the week of Christmas/NYE (while we had our hands full with a toddler and newborn)…Patrick took her on daily walks and returned a well-behaved and tuckered out dog to us. Absolutely perfect!”

“Thanks so much for taking them on a long walk. So appreciated!”

“I knew from the moment I met her that Johanna had an excellent understanding of dog behavior. We hired her to walk our puppy, Edgar several times a week. He is a boisterous 120lb Leonberger puppy whose size and energy have been difficult for less experienced sitters. On meeting Edgar, Johanna immediately and calmly redirected our puppy into appropriate behavior and rewarded it. She is professional, punctual and an excellent communicator. Edgar not only loves her, he respects her. After 6 walks, my husband and I decided to hire Johanna for regular weekly walks - even though we weren’t planning to - because when you find someone this good, you find ways to support them and maintain a relationship. If you are looking for someone who is calm, knowledgeable, and respectful of you and your dog, we highly recommend Johanna.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've had my own cats for over a decade. I got my own dog 2 years ago. I'm working from home 3 days a week and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can board during my work from home days as well as on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.

“Jessa has always been exposed to her own pet dogs along with the many dogs her family members have. She has watched these dogs for family when they have had to be away. Along with her personal pets, she has volunteered and spent many hours at the local animal shelter, Precious Paws, in Chisholm MN. Her mom and Jessa took in many foster dogs over the years of all different breeds and sizes. She has always shown compassion and responsibility when caring for them. Jessa would be a definite asset to your program.”

“Bridget was extremely reliable, communicative, and gracious/flexible the day we needed. Extremely appreciative of her, would recommend her to anyone & will be rebooking.”

“Thor is absolutely great! Sends great pictures with every walk and is very accommodating to shifting schedules.”

“I could not be happier with everything about our experience with Brenna! Her communication is fantastic, she wanted to know all about how to make Bodhi’s time with her go smoothly, and she gave me lots of details on how it went. I feel lucky we found her & we’ll definitely be calling on her again.”

“Olivia and Jose having been taking care of Cooper (our dog) for years. They love her as if she was their own pet and are very patient with her as she does struggle with anxiety. Cooper has stayed with Olivia and Jose for short day trips and multiple days overnight. They do a great job walking, feeding, playing with Cooper and giving her medications. Would highly recommend them any time!”

“Jones loved Mackenzie! I look forward to booking her again!”

“Sydney is absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my two dogs and provided them ample exercise during their walks. She is reliable and has great communication. Hopefully I am lucky enough to have her help again!”

“Allison is fantastic! She walks my 90lb senior dog and my 40lb puppy twice a week and manages both wonderfully! She’s flexible, keeps me updates on how they’re behaving and I always get lots of cute pictures!”

“Jessica is great with pets. I have a Siberian husky and 2 cats and they all love her. She gives them lots of love and attention. She is prompt with her scheduling and follows through on her commitments. I know any time she is with my pets that they are safe and in good hands. She takes instructions well and ensures my pets do not miss a beat when they are in her care. Highly recommend!”

About: My first paid job was at 13, looking after a disabled senior dog named Ben. It was a tough job at times, but caring for Ben was the catalyst behind my love for older dogs. I’ve cared for and boarded dogs both young and old, along with having my own dogs since childhood. Unfortunately, my senior Rhodesian Ridgeback, Red, recently passed, giving me more time and space to care for others. I work part-time from my St. Paul home, so I truly have lots of time for walks and play! I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to work with you and your pet’s scheduling needs. I work part-time for myself from home, so walks and playtime can happen throughout the day and evening. My pet-loving fiancé also works from home and is an additional help. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for play, along with a walkable neighborhood and friendly neighbors. My home is cozy and safe for dogs of all abilities, with very few steps and space to sprawl out and sleep. With me being home the majority of my working days, your dog will get lots of attention or space if they need it.

“Lacie did a great job with our anxious dog! We asked her to walk him last minute so we didn’t have a chance to do a meet and greet beforehand but she had no issues with meeting him and taking him on a walk”

“Eva is an excellent dog caregiver and a true dog lover. She will treat your dog with kindness, and make sure that they receive the best of care. She is responsible, timely, polite, and courteous. I would definitely recommend Eva has a dog sitter or dog walker.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12, and currently have my own 1-year-old pup. I’d love to go for walks and spend time playing with or just hanging out with your dog! I have non-professional experience with puppies and reactive dogs. I work from home M-F and have a pretty flexible schedule. When I’m not traveling, I’m around on weekends. Happy to walk wherever is most comfortable for your dog. I have a dog who wants to play with every dog ever, should you want him to help keep your pup company. However, he can also stay home so I can have quality one-on-one time with your pet.

“Jeremiah stayed at our home for 12 days while we were on vacation to watch our two cats, Gordy & McCarthy. While cats can be home and just checked in on from time to time, we consider them our babies and wanted someone to stay full time. We were excited each day to get pictures of the cute and silly things they were doing and updates on their adventures. McCarthy is extremely shy and doesn't really come out when strangers are in the house. I think it was day 2 or 3 that she was up snuggling on his lap!! Jeremiah totally loves little creatures and we would not hesitate to have him watch our cuddle bugs in the future.”

“Kaitlin is awesome with dogs. My wife and I. An always rely on her when we go out of town. She does an excellent job at following all of the directions we leave her, and the dogs absolutely love her. She is very passionate about dogs, is great at getting them exercise, and is extremely knowledgeable about how to keep dogs safe from her time working at doggy daycares!”

“Tamara was great , reliable, and followed all requests that were asked of her. We would definitely book with her again.”
