Dog Walking Superior

About: Hello! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with dogs since I was a young girl. I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to watch puppies grow up and see them through their training classes. Here I learned the basics on how to train puppies, as well as how to potty train them. Not only have I worked with puppies, but I have also had the pleasure of working with senior dogs who are closer to their end of life. I understand these dogs need to take it slower and be more careful with their bodies. I have given medications to dogs before in the form of pills, I am able to apply ointments if needed as well. My managers have had me watch their two dogs every time they go out of town for the past couple of years and I have had experience stopping by other coworkers, friends and families houses before to check in on animals and watch them for a day or two. I believe that my experience working with a large mix of dog breeds (e.g., bichon frises, terriers, corgis, golden retrievers, labs, dobermans, mastiffs and bernese mountain dogs) has given me the knowledge to know every dog is different and requires different care. I intent to give this utmost care to your animal while also showing them respect and warmth. Your animals having the most fun time and gaining a new friend will just be a plus to the excellent care I will give. I have a bit of an odd schedule where I have my mornings and afternoons free. Because of this, I am usually available from 5am-3pm and then I am available again by 9/10pm and after at nights. This allows me to take care of animals in the morning and afternoon, feed them and take them for their walks. Then by evening, I can do a nightly feeding if that is on their schedule, and play with them for a bit before they head to bed for the night. I truly believe this gives dogs a beneficial schedule of having company for most of the day and then having some alone time for the evening before receiving that company for the night again. When it comes to animals in my home (I don’t like using “pets” because they are our equals) I give them the utmost care. I usually wake up when they wake up and will take them potty first, feed after and then usually another potty after feeding. Then it is walk time, and then we rest for bit. Next comes a bit of rest and play routine where I will play with the animals if they show interest and then let them rest when they want alone time. Before I head to work for the evening, I will potty again and usually feed dinner for the day. Once I am home for the night, I potty the animal and then play for a bit until they are tired. That is when I will do my night routine. When it comes to taking care of your animals, they might not require the whole 9 yards. Whether or not that is the case, I will be able to accommodate mostly any animals routine and keep it as similar as possible to the routine mom and/or dad have them on.

About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been a true passion of mine! With nearly 15 years of experience in dog boarding and grooming, I’ve had the joy of caring for pups with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and what makes one pup happy and comfortable may not work for another. That’s why I take the time to get to know each pet individually—learning their routines, preferences, and what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. My goal is simple: to give your furry family member plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ While I work full-time during the day, I’m available most evenings and weekends to provide your pets with the love, attention, and routine they’re accustomed to. Whether you’re heading out for an overnight trip, working an extra-long shift, or simply enjoying a much-needed night out, I’m here to help make sure your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how challenging it can be to fit in that extra walk, potty break, or some much-needed playtime—especially on a busy day. That’s where I come in! My goal is to make life a little easier for you and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. 🐾❤️ Your pet is in good hands! 🐾 With nearly 15 years of experience working with a wide variety of dog breeds and personalities, I understand that every dog is unique. I take the time to get to know your pet on a personal level—their personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs—because I believe building trust is the foundation of great pet care. Keeping your dog’s routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away, and my goal is for them to enjoy their time with me just as much as they would with you at the other end of the leash! Before your booking, I’ll take the time to talk with you about your pet, their personality, habits, and any special needs or instructions. This allows us to make the proper arrangements ahead of time and ensures your pet receives care that is truly tailored to them. I also place a strong emphasis on open, responsive communication, so you can feel confident knowing that your pet is cared for, their needs are understood, and you’re always kept in the loop while they’re in my care. ❤️

“She was great, responsive and punctual as well.”

About: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.

These furry friends fill my life with joy and I appreciate doing the same for them. I currently have plenty of time to help out whenever needed. Drop me a message and I can see how to make it work, there is not an ask to big or to small. I will ask for specifics when helping out with your furry family member. I understand that routine, especially when it is new, is the key to helping animals feel safe and secure.
