“Maureen has been walking our dog for the past several weeks. There are not enough words to describe how amazing she is with our precious pup! She is flexible, accommodating and a skillful communicator. She has handled our sometimes difficult to walk dog adeptly. It’s evident she loves her work. Will book again for sure! Also - if she ever wanted to get a side job as a photographer, she easily could. She captures the most gorgeous pictures!”

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. I'm experienced with troublesome dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed and work side gigs, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a few years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away.

About: I am well-equipped to care for dogs with unique needs, such as anxiety, special diets, and daily medication. Senior dogs in need of special care. I currently have availability Monday-Sunday. I currently work for a salon as an esthetician part time but I am pretty flexible for the most part. My services include playtime, walks, and complimentary treats for your dogs. Medication administration if needed, Exercise is essential in my care for younger aged dogs, as well as dogs that require special diets.

About: Need someone to care for your fur baby while you’re away? You can count on me! I’ve had experience with lots of dogs. Including two of my own. I’ve worked with reactive dogs, and calm dogs and everything in between! I’ve done a class on dog grooming and care. I’ve also done lots of training with my own dogs. Whether your dog is calm, energetic, or maybe a bit rambunctious, you can rest assured they will be cared for! I currently work full time about 40 hours a week. But, if notified enough in advance I would be willing to modify my work schedule considering I make my own schedule. Usually it’s made about 3 weeks in advance. I have two cats who don’t have problems with dogs in my home. But my experience working with dogs is much more detailed than that. I am willing to feed, potty, walk, groom, train, and babysit your dog. I crate trained my previous dogs well. I also taught them sit, stay, come, speak, touch, dance, roll over, off, wait, lay down and I even taught one of my dogs to play the seeker in hide and seek!

About: *Note I go by Danny, but Rachel is my legal name. And then my partner Morgan sometimes helps me out on my visits. About me: I have taken care of cats all my life, and when it comes to dogs I've babysat more than I can count. I love them all. I can handle gentle types. Even loud ones. Let me know if they need special commands or to be talked to. I love to talk personally with the animals and just be with them. :) This is my primary job for now, so I would be available whenever YOU want. I also work with my 3 lovely cats on a daily basis. If I have your pet at my home, they will mostly be just for walks. We could sit and watch TV at home, or maybe learn something new? I like to grow with the animal.

About: I have 30 years of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds and all ages. I have quite a bit of experience working with reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and even aggressive dogs. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of dogs! For dogs that stay in my home I have a fenced in back yard on a quarter acre. I absolutely love taking dogs for walks as well so they have an opportunity to take in the sights, and stop to sniff the trees. Dogs staying in my home have free range of the upstairs level of my home which is quite spacious. Plenty of space for zoomies on those bad weather days when we are cooped up inside!

About: I’ve had family pets as long as I can remember, cats and dogs. Currently have the chillest cat I’ve ever seen. The whole family loves animals. I work as a teacher. Weekends are always open. Summer is completely open, home anytime. Great yard for animals to play, no backyard neighbors either 1/2 acre yard. I have a clean and orderly home to easily let pets feel not threatened or overwhelmed. Big back yard and trails, sidewalks to get out on. Park across the street as well. Quiet, secluded neighborhood.

About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have a great home for more friends. We love to go on walks, play fetch, and wrestle in the back yard. You will have no worries leaving your pets in my care, they’ll be treated just like family. I work from home so taking care of animals is just a part of my day. Frequent potty breaks, naps on the couch, and walks are all part of my day. I have a fenced yard and two high energy huskies that love to play with other dogs. No need to worry, your dog will come back tired and well cared for.

“Mikayla did a great job with our very large, energetic puppy. We will definitely call her again!”

About: I am a stay at home mom, with a rescue dog, several rescue cats, and chickens. We have 25 acres on a gravel road and love being outside exploring. I love music, sunshine, and coffee. I love breakfast foods. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up in the country - we always had at least one dog and at least one farm cat. I am looking forward to meeting new pups by dropping in and going for walks! I am a SAHM so I am fairly flexible. We can stop by during the day for a walk or potty break and some playing. We have plenty of unfenced outdoor space. There will be other animals around. My kids know how to be gentle and do not get in pets' faces.

I can handle dogs of all sizes (currently own a Great Dane). I care for friend’s dogs while they’re away. I will also run with your dog if you prefer that over walking. I would also love to watch and play with cats as I’m both a cat and dog person. If you have other critters than a cat or dog I will likely have some experience and would love to care for them as well.

I currently don’t have a job. Im pretty open all summer but will be continuing school this fall in St. Cloud as a pre-vet major but can work around my school schedule. I prefer to take care of your dogs in their own home, this will ease any stress for your pets as well as your family. i will take excellent care of your furry family , and always respect your rules and your household.

Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

“Our dog had a great time with Shannon! She came back smiling and totally pooped after a long walk. Shannon came prepared to our meet and greet with thoughtful questions, which helped put us at ease. We definitely recommend Shannon as a walker!”

About: Pups are my passion! As a previously employed full time dog walker and someone who has grown up around dogs and horses, animals have been a huge part of my life and have held a big part of my heart. I know that leaving your pooch can be stressful but no need to worry, I am here to help! I am 100% dedicated to making your pup feel at home. To ease the stress of leaving your pooch, you can count on me for daily email/text updates complete with pictures of your pup on their adventures. I recently relocated back to Minnesota but prior to that I was working for San Francisco's #1 dog walking company. Unfortunately, due the move, I feel like I have a shortage of slobbery dog kisses in my life. Working as a dog walker gave me experience with dogs of all breeds, dispositions, temperaments, ages, and sizes. I have also worked with a pitbull rescue organization, socializing and training the sweetest bullys. I love spending time at outside and going on hikes, having a dog along makes it all the more fun. I work seasonally as a commercial fisherman so while I am home in Minnesota, I have open availability. I just can't seem to get enough of puppy love in my life, and would be stoked to spend some time with your furry best friend! I work from home! My schedule is extremely flexible. I can accommodate your needs weather its dropping in for a bathroom break or swinging by and taking your pup on a long walk. I am able to have dogs at my home currently and I don't mind spending the night at your place- whatever it takes to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and safe!
