Dog Walking in West Calhoun, Minneapolis, MN

About: Pet care starts by taking the time to find out what is important to the pet owner and what is the key to keeping their pet family members happy! Aside from that, all pets I find thrive with loving time and attention. I strive to be considerate, reliable, respectful of each owner's home, cleanly and above all, to make sure I work to minimize any pet stress as I care for them in their owners absence. Part of my past includes 10+ glorious years with my Aussie, Robbie. (As seen in my pics.) He is dearly missed and now I find myself lucky enough to care for very special pets as needed. Please check out my reviews from their lovely owners and I am here to answer any questions regarding my services. Thanks and I look forward to meeting you all and your pet family members. - Christian I am fortunate enough to work in Real Estate and Interior Design. This allows me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. Depending on the needed service, I am happy to office out of each owner's home as long as there is internet access. In most cases my showings may take me away for a maximum of 3-4 hours. Accommodations can be made on the pet's needs as I have the ability to schedule my appointments as allowed. I take the utmost care for each client's home without question. My goal is to leave any home in the same condition or better. Please see me for any additional information or questions.

“Breen is a wonderful, reliable, and trustworthy dog-walker. He has been walking our border terrier, Charlie, regularly for 10+ years. (He was walking two dogs for us but we lost Rocco to cancer in December 2021.) Breen loves dogs and dogs love Breen. It is the highlight of Charlie's day when Breen arrives. I am confident that Charlie is well cared for by Breen. He knows dog body language and behavior and can usually head off any trouble before it happens. Our dynamic duo often gave him a run for his money. We really appreciate Breen's dependable service and highly recommend him to care for your beloved dog.”

“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”

About: I’ve been helping with care and dog sitting for friends and neighbors for about ten years, especially for my sister’s cavaliers (pictured) when she goes on trips. I have a lot of experience walking more anxious/shy dogs, and have also wrangled some bigger aggressive pooches - so I know how to navigate a walk to avoid socialization when needed, and keep a tight grip on the leash. I just quit my corporate job, so my schedule is open! Particularly looking to schedule some day-time walks, but flexible on timing, and can potentially do overnights as well I like to defer to the dog’s temperament and let them initiate interactions, or offer treats to grease the wheels. Ideally I want to build a rapport with them to get in some playtime and cuddles to keep them emotionally engaged while their human is away

“Dafflyn has been great with Granger. She’s helped me during long work days and had great communication. I can tell when I get home that my pup has been well cared for. Highly suggest!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—from a curious little beagle to a few goofy yellow labs, and now two sweet golden retrievers. Caring for dogs isn’t new to me—it’s second nature. I’ve had experience with senior dogs who needed a little extra help, whether that meant slower walks, medication, complete vision loss, or just extra patience and love. I’m a true dog lover and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pup seriously. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s hands, and I’ll treat yours like family—because that’s how I’d want mine to be treated. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll meet them where they are with calm, attentive care. I’m currently working full time. In office 3 days a week. Typically Mondays and Friday’s at home. Core work hours are 9-3:30 pm so I can be flexible and take lunch breaks. Weekends are typically free to check in on pups, go for walks, etc.! I live in a dog friendly apartment near a nature park with a big walking loop. Can easily crate your dog if provided. I care for pets by following their usual routine and giving them lots of love, attention, and patience. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

About: With over a decade of pet-care experience, Im well acclimated to all kinds of furry and non-furry friends. From age 10-17, I had my own dog, and watched dogs and cats across my neighborhood. I became familiar with walking multiple dogs at once, and cat care. During college, I worked at a non-profit animal rescue, where I learned skills ranging from raising puppies from birth to adoption to administrating vaccines and medications to dogs with complex medical needs. I worked with feral dogs, weaning mothers, and dogs with a wide range of behavioral needs. I’ve lived with both cats and dogs, so I’m also familiar with the quirks of existing in a home with your furry friends! For those who have unconventional pets, I’m always open to loving on them as well. I owned three pairs of rats throughout grade school and college, and even trained them for name recall. I am an animal lover at my core, and will be your best friends advocate while caring for them! I will be working part-time, so I have plenty of time to come play with and love on your pets! I am also very active, so am very open to hikes or daily adventures if you have high-energy dogs that need extra time. For smaller friends, I am open and able to bringing them into my home, but for cats and dogs, please plan to have me come to you! I am a huge advocate for meeting animals where they are. I will ask you questions about your pet’s personality, and ensure that I’m approaching them in a way that makes them safe and comfortable. Windows and doors are always shut and monitored for those who may have high flight risk pets. I deeply care about your pet’s safety during my stay, so please communicate any additional precautions when we are finalizing pet sitting details!

“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

About: I've been a pet owner for as long as I can remember, somewhere around 3 years old. While I'm just now going pro, I've often been the one friends and family trust to take care of their animals when needed. I've been through almost every scenario with pets, from the amazing to the emergent. Your pets are safe in my care and they'll be glad they met me. I work for myself, so I'm generally really flexible schedule wise. If I schedule a service with you I will be there, guaranteed. I'm punctual and work hard. I have experience walking dogs of all ages and needs, and can administer medication if necessary. While I can't bring any animals into my home, I'll make sure that yours is respected and treat it like my own.

“Katherine is simply AMAZING!! my doggos love her and are running to the door to great her each time they hear her voice. I cannot share in words how wonderful it is to have someone who is kind, loving, and genuinely excited to see my fur babies. Would recommend Katherine 10/5 stars.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for a 14 year old chow mix. I love dogs of all kinds and understand the importance of having trusted people caring for your pets. I work from home M-F and have flexibility for house visits before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings. I also have availability for walks/house visits most weekends. I am very respectful of your home and will ensure that all home visits are secure, safe, and trustworthy. I am not currently able to care for other pets in my own home.

“Lauren was great and our dogs loved her! We would recommend her to anyone!”

“Annalise is conscientious and creative. She obviously loves animals and puts her heart into her work. I was so impressed that she took the time to engage my dog’s mind and challenge him with games. She goes above and beyond. I hope she can come back and help us again — an absolute delight to work with.”

About: I’ve been walking and taking care of dogs for 10 years! I am comfortable with all things entailed, whether it be feeding, bathing, walking, cuddling or playing! I work from home Monday and Friday and am available in the evening Tuesday-Thursday. My weekends are very open and flexible so I can be committed to taking care of your pup! I have a 4-year-old rescue who loves all dogs and will keep your pup company. We also take a variety of long and short walks and can be flexible with your needs.

“We're so glad to have found Angela! She is very quick to respond to requests for services, the dogs are very comfortable with her, and our cat comes running to greet her when she brings the dogs home from a walk. Her photos and Instagram stories about the pets she cares for are great.”
