Dog Walking West Calhoun

About: I absolutely love cats and dogs of all kinds. My passion for felines and pups comes from personal experience caring for my own pets and family and friends pets. I adopted my beloved kitty, Bella, when she was just a tiny kitten, and I lovingly cared for her for 17 years until her passing at the end of 2025. I miss her and the unique connection I share with cats, which is why I became a sitter—to bring that same level of care to other pet families. Through caring for Bella into her senior years, I became highly experienced in senior cat care. I understand that older kitties require a gentler touch, a calm environment, and extra patience. I am fully comfortable and experienced with administering oral and transdermal medications, ensuring your pet maintains their health routine seamlessly while you are away. I recently entered early retirement. This means I have a very flexible schedule, and can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine. I will provide them with plenty of dedicated attention, playtime, and love! I have a lot of flexibility and plenty of open time throughout the day. I can easily adapt my daily routine around your pet’s specific feeding times, medication windows, and need for company. During my visits, I focus on attentive care, safety, and just spending time together. I treat your home with total respect. I strictly follow instructions for feeding and prompt medication delivery. I spend the rest of the visit providing companionship, keeping the litter box clean, the water bowl refreshed, and giving gentle head scratches.

“My dog and I have rebooked with Susan several times, she is fantastic!”

“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”

“Sydney has walked our dog, Gus, a few times now and he can be a bit hard to manage. He’s very excitable, reactive, and loves to jump and lunge at things that catch his eye. Sydney has done a great job of managing (all 70lbs of) him and keeping him safe! He is SO excited when he sees her walking up to our door, which makes me trust her even more.”

“Jara walked out dog for several months while I was recovering from an injury. She was reliable and had great communication. Our dog loved her. We would definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a pet owner myself for over 9 years and have cared for family and friends pets for over 20 years, with experience with reactive dogs specifically, as well as puppies and seniors alike. I’m currently working from home with flexible hours that allow for convenience to step out for walks, feeding time or check-ins/play-time as needed, especially local to St. Louis Park, Hopkins and Minneapolis. As my own dog is reactive to other pets I will only be able to provide care in your home/walks or playtime outside. I have experience pet and house-sitting and am comfortable with fitting into your routine as easily and seamlessly as possible. I am always comfortable with any level of communication, check-ins/photo documentation, home camera systems, and proof of locked doors/house security.

About: As a proud parent to a friendly, social 5 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy, I understand what keeps dogs truly happy. I focus on complete engagement—combining active toy play with fun mental puzzles to tire out both their body and brain. You'll always get clear check-ins and high-quality photo updates so you can see your pup thriving! Since I work with a flexible daily schedule, pet care is built directly into my late-morning, afternoon, and evening routines. Having a high-energy puppy of my own means active walks, playtime, and structured care are already natural parts of my everyday life. Whether it's mid-day drop-ins, afternoon walks, or evening play sessions, I seamlessly integrate client visits into my day so every pet gets dedicated, uninterrupted focus. Your pup is treated like family in the comfort of their own home! I provide a safe, cozy, and familiar environment where they can relax on the couch, play with interactive toys, and enjoy fun mental puzzles. With clear routines, plenty of supervised play, and attentive care, your pet gets all the love and structure they need while you're away.

In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up.

About: Before I became a flight attendant I had 5 doggies that I miss so much! Now that I travel for work & can’t have animals I’d love to mingle with them even if it’s a quick walk to the park. Im usually gone for a work trip 3-4 days max. I’d be open to communicating availability with owners when possible & being flexible the most I can be. Coming from a customer & safety regulated work field; safety is always my top priority. Follow all rules from owners & communicate any uncertainties that may come up.

“Jenna is fantastic! Jenna always takes my dog on fun adventures and makes sure all her needs are met. And my dog is clearly obsessed with Jenna!”

“My dog Charlie is 50 pounds of energy very difficult to walk. I've only had her for about 4 months. She pulls and lunges towards other dogs and anything else with four legs. Lauren has handled Charlie very well and has been flexible with my changing schedule. I highly recommend Lauren. I trust her with my Charlie.”

Richard L.

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”

“Amber did an amazing job walking our dog while we were our of town, and for several days beforehand! Our girl is a reactive rescue, and Amber was so kind and calm with her, which made all the difference. Our dog happily went with Amber for each walk, which was amazing, and Amber even braved a snowstorm to take our girl out for her walkies! Amber was also so flexible with scheduling, which was a huge help. We’ll definitely keep working with Amber in the future.”

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

About: (I do use they/them pronouns, thank you in advance!) I started on Rover about 6 years ago after leaving my job at a doggy daycare, and have decided to return to Rover after working as a veterinary technician in a high-paced clinic for the past 4 years! When working in a clinic setting I primarily handled patients undergoing anesthesia, but also worked closely with doctors providing care to patients as young as a few weeks up to 20+ years of age. This position taught me how to administer medications, safely handle animals, clean up biohazards, how to win over cats with spicy temperaments, and enjoy working with a wide array of pet personalities. I am comfortable working with any breed (dogs and cats!) of any activity level, and am looking forward to meeting your kiddos! I am currently working Rover as my full-time job while starting up school part time this fall, so I am usually quite flexible fitting your needs into my schedule! While I am not able to board any animals at my home at this time, I am extremely comfortable dropping by your home multiple times a day to ensure your animals are getting the attention they need.

“Brian is such a lovely and dependable person! He walked our dog Fitzgerald while I was out of town for two weeks - and we were so happy how much he cared for him and the daily updates. Thank you so much Brian, we would definitely want to work with you again!”
