Dog Walking Wayzata

“Steve was wonderful with Mac over the past few weeks. He took excellent care of him and paid close attention to Mac’s cues, helping him feel safe and happy during their walks. Mac was always happy to see Steve at the door—a sure sign he was having a fun time. Thanks again, Steve! :)”

“Cherie was amazing while caring for/walking my dear Abuelo. He has since transitioned above. Cherie accommodated my crazy work schedule which was a huge help! Always a great communicator & updated me when needed. Cherie will always be considered a member of Abuelos Village who cared for him. Thankful we met. Blessing to all the future fur babies 🐾”

“Karen and Brian walked my friend’s dog for 5 days. I booked them, after reading the fantastic reviews about them, to walk my friend’s dog because she had knee surgery. I live across the country and couldn’t be there myself. They were absolutely amazing. They understood the situation and proved there are still wonderful people in the world. They took care of my friend’s dog like it was their own. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat!!!!”

About: I’m a full-time pet caregiver with more than 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and other small pets. I’ve also been actively involved in animal rescue and fostering since 2021. One of my most meaningful experiences was fostering a blind and deaf senior Chihuahua with Cushing’s disease in hospice care for over a year. This strengthened my ability to provide patient, individualized care for senior, anxious, special-needs, and medically complex pets. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering oral medications. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight house sitting. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship. You’ll receive thoughtful photos, detailed updates, and prompt communication throughout your pet’s care. Multi-pet families are especially welcome! I keep my sibling rates affordable so pets from the same household can remain together without the cost multiplying for each pet. For added peace of mind, every service booked and paid for through Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes 24/7 support and up to $25,000 in veterinary care reimbursement for eligible claims. Pet care is my full-time work, so my daily schedule is organized around the pets in my care. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and week, including early mornings, late nights, weekends, and many holidays. This allows me to accommodate established routines, recurring services, and last-minute requests when availability permits. I plan travel time carefully between bookings and avoid overbooking so each pet receives their full scheduled time and attention. I begin each booking by reviewing the pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, health needs, and emergency information. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes before transitions, keep dogs leashed outdoors unless safely contained in an approved area, and monitor the weather to ensure outdoor activities remain safe. I have experience with crates and crate training and am comfortable following an established crating routine when needed. I can also safely manage designated areas of the home using baby gates, closed doors, playpens, or other barriers according to the pet parent’s instructions. This can be helpful for maintaining boundaries, separating pets during meals, or providing each pet with a comfortable space. My goal is always to provide as much safe, supervised time outside confined areas as possible, with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow all access and security instructions, maintain the pet’s familiar environment, and leave the home clean and securely locked. Meet-and-greets are welcome so we can review care instructions and ensure everyone feels comfortable before the booking.

“Kate is great!! She enjoys Toby and takes him on wonderful walks. I will continue to call on her for walks and care.”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, and other reptiles. While I don't have professional pet care experience, I'm the person my friends, family, and neighbors trust whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own 💛 I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry (or scaly!) family member, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work part time in the service industry and on my days off I love to be outside and mobile! My job starts at 6 am most days so even on days that I work, I end up having a lot of free time that I would love to fill working with animals 💛 Each pet takes time to get to know and gain trust! I am excited to meet your fur baby and take that special time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy.

“Marcy stepped in to help with our dog while I was out of town. Always on time, dog was well walked! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

“Rola to the rescue! Thank you, Rola for helping me out this week while I have not been able to walk Tessie. I so appreciate your flexibility and the care and love you give my girl.”

“Azumi takes great care of my two dogs! It's comforting knowing that they are cared for while I'm working 12 hour shifts. I recommend her as a reliable, conscientious walker!”

About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up surrounded by dogs, spending my childhood and college years caring for and loving on them. Over the years, I've gained experience dog sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients, and I truly have loved every opportunity to do so. Walks are a staple of my own daily routine with our rescued Goldendoodle, who joined our family nearly two years ago and has been the most rewarding journey. Outside of pet care, I've been married for two years and am currently in the second year of my Master's in Clinical Counseling. My hybrid and flexible class schedule allows me to provide dependable, quality care, and I'm grateful that this season of life has brought me back to Rover to support families and their animals who bring so much joy. I will always do my best to make sure your pets receive all the love and attention they can get while you are away. I can also provide some light grooming by chance the pets get dirty and need a bath, or just brushing them to make sure they don't get matted! I have also taken care of birds and other small house pets (guinea pigs, goldfish, etc.) and am happy to support in this way. I have a flexible graduate school schedule that is hybrid, so I am able to cater to nearly any of your dogs needs throughout the day! If I am out and about while I am watching them, I always make sure to not be gone too long / longer than they are used to being alone for. I will always ensure that any latches on gates and fences are closed before I let your dog out into a yard if you have one, as well as double checking their collar and leash are attached correctly when we go out on walks or to the bathroom! If you have any gates up indoors I will make sure to keep these in place, as well as not allow them on any furniture you request they stay off of. I will take note of any specific safety considerations you advise me of, as well - you know your pets best!

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea! My husband Nate works from home and have a mini golden doodle that loves new friends. I have a large yard for dogs to play and typically book one overnight client at a time so I can give them the proper attention they need. We are currently only accepting non-shedding dogs. My pup, Milo, is extremely social and loves all dogs! He loves to play and loves to meet new friends! When watching dogs we go on walks every day, play lots outside, and love to explore new parks/dog friendly areas. I have a very clean home and have plenty of room for your pup. We both grew up raising dogs of our own and have experience with several breeds and personalities. We go on walks every day and get lots of time outdoors. One of us works from home each day of the week allowing us to have plenty of attention on the dogs we are caring for. I am flexible, easy to work with, take direction very well, and will send plenty of pics if you’d like to see your dog while in our care! :)

About: Have taken care of family’s dog since I was in middle school. I also have taken care of other family members dogs too. I have experience with obedience training. Have fostered dogs too. I have a flexible work schedule so, I’m flexible to the dog’s needs! I go to the gym and workout everyday so taking the dog outside before and after the gym would be a priority of mine!

I currently work remote with Tuesdays being the only day I’m in the office for four hours. Currently my golden retriever enjoys playing fetch in the backyard, going to the dog park and long walks! We spend a lot of time outside and getting exercise. As we know our animals are our babies and I treat them like that in every way! I have a large fenced in yard and a two year old female golden retriever named Berkley! She’s so mellow but loves to play with new friends. We spend lots of time socializing and going on adventures.

“I highly recommend Jenna to to care for your dog. Our dog came back from her walk very happy. Jenna knew how to interact and communicate with our dog well. She even gave her a clean up afterward from the mud puddles.”
