Dog Walkers in Winsted, MN

“Mary-Kate is very professional, kind and flexible. One of our dogs is older and has some issues with arthritis. She catered to each of our dogs needs by giving them individual attention whether it be going for walks with our younger dog or playing in the backyard and going for shorter slower walks with our older dog. Mary-Kate was consistent in communication with us and gave us daily reports from the time she started to the time she ended her service. We would highly recommend her service and will definitely use her again!”

About: My entire life my family has always had two dogs, at least two cats, and a horse. My jobs have always involved animals. When I was in middle school and could not work I would spend my time volunteering at an animal rescue shop and at a horse stable taking care of the horses. My very first official job was at MN Horse and Hunt at the barn taking care of about 30 horses. I also had a 15 year old dog that sadly passed away recently. She had three legs due to an accident when she was a few months old. With this I have many years of experience taking care of a dog with special needs including special food, supplements, and even diapers. Every morning my dog or cat wakes me up, and it is time to let them outside and get ready for the day. Once I am ready they are more than excited to eat breakfast. Then I go to my morning class and let them out as soon as I get home. This is about my everyday schedule. The most important thing for me is making sure my pets are happy. I like to make sure they all get at least an hour a day of play and pets. I think playing is very important. Even my 12 year old cat is still very healthy, active, and playful. I believe the playtime really helps keep her body and joints healthy and capable.

“Bailey has been amazing with Winnie! She’s always on time, takes great updates pictures, and trains Winnie while they walk!!”

“Amy is always very responsive and quick to accommodate my requests. We’ve been utilizing her very frequently for about a month now. She sends updates and pictures every time she stops by to check on my puppy. I truly don’t know what I’d do without her!”

Amy W.

“Great communication and flexibility. My little guy came back from his walk so happy! Will definitely book again.”

About: Hi everyone my name is Alicia. I have always been an animal lover since i can remember. I have grown up around dogs. I have personally owned both cats and dogs. My family is also animal lovers. I have 3 daughters 14, 11, and 5. We love going for walks in the summer as a family. Your puppy/dog will have the best visit ever with myself and my family and will love all the attention from the kids!! We are always home on the weekends too so I'm always available even with short notice :) hope to hear from you soon!!!! And thank you for giving the opportunity to watch your four legged kids!! I am a stay at home mom so I have fairly open availability during the week and on the weekends. I do make my own work schedule so I can easily fit clients in. I am located in a neighborhood with little traffic so I can take your fur baby(s) out for walks around the neighborhood. Unfortunately at this time my yard is not fenced but they would never be left unsupervised outside.

About: Experience dog sitting for friends & neighbors! I love dogs and I'm a previous Dad to a German Shepherd, but do not have any current pets . Excited to pamper and play with your pup! I'm almost always home, so I can fit you into my schedule anytime! You pup will be slathered with attention and taken on walks etc. Willing to pick up/drop off as well! I have a fully fenced yard, and I'm home to go on walks and enjoy playtime! I can send photos so you wont miss your pup as much while you are away : ) I don't have pets or kids, but love spending time with my niece and nephews.

“Janneke is great with Leo. She gives him a great walk and when the weather doesn’t cooperate she will play with him inside and still give him a potty break. She’s very dependable!”

About: I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm dependable, attentive, and communicate openly with owners, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it's extra playtime, careful attention to health needs, or simply being a calming presence, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick closely to their usual routines, offer plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks, and make sure they have a cozy space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I focus on maintaining their normal schedule, giving them lots of love and engagement, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

About: Hi, I have had a dog or two in my household my whole life, so I have grown up watching after pets. Also, the past couple years I have gotten into watching my friend's or family's pets if they are ever out of town or just need a sitter. Most of my pets have been playful so I have experience keeping them busy and playing with them. My mom and I like to go on walks a lot and sometimes we bring my dog along. I think what sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is what I said before about how I have always grown up with a dog in my household and all of my family and most friends have pets so I am always around animals.

About: I am a certified veterinary technician as well as certified in Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapy. I have been working in the veterinary field for over 10 years now. I love any & all things outdoors! Especially hiking with my dog! I would love to meet and help your animal get outside for some fresh air! I can guarantee that your animal will be safe and comfortable with me walking by their side! I promise to not only exercise your pet but also give them attention & affection with our time together! I can also drop in for happy visits as well as medication administrations. Feel free to contact with any other specific questions you may have for me! I currently work part time as a Certified Veterinary Technician/Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist. I typically work Tuesday-Thursdays. More often than not I can walk your pet after work (6pm) However, Friday-Mondays I'm fairly opening. I plan to only be walking your pets. That being said I can always drop in for happy visits or to administer medications if needed.

About: I love dogs, and more importantly, I understand them. A lifetime of caring for, interacting with and learning about animals has given me the skills to keep dogs safe, healthy, engaged, and of course, happy! I enjoy all types of dogs and all personalities. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and took additional classes in dog behavior and am comfortable with dogs that are difficult for others, such as dominant or very timid. I feel a special connection with dogs that are unsure and love using my knowledge of them to help them come out of their shell. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in veterinary, rescue, boarding and grooming settings. I have attained a CGC with two dogs and done some agility. But mostly I love just being with dogs, mine and any I come across, walking, playing, snuggling, swimming, and anything that brings that smile to their face and that sparkle to their eye. I am honest, flexible, and will respect your property 100%. I am honored to be trusted by those I work for and am happiest when I hear "I didn't have to worry at all because I knew you were there".

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. I've raised puppies, trained them and cared for them through all stages of life. Dogs are my passion! I am available most days, and anytime! My schedule is my own, not working for anyone else. This gives me total freedom to be available whenever you need my services. How do you choose someone to take care of your best friend and know you can trust them? I asked myself this question and realized that I would want someone like me to watch my own dogs. The reason? I simply adore dogs and treat each one like my own. When your pup is with me, know that they are my priority. Their safety and well being come first. I have a fenced yard and we live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have 3 Pomeranians that are sweet and get a long well with other dogs and one rescue mixed breed who loves everyone! Dogs in my home do have freedom to roam, get cozy on the furniture, play in the fenced yard and sleep in bed with us. I will love your pup as if they are one of my own! I have lots of room in my home. I have areas where your pup can be away from my dogs if they prefer that. Know that your dog will be treated like a priority while in my care. Their well being will never take second place to one of my own.

About: I have been around pets my entire life! Dogs, cats and birds! I unfortunately just had to put my dog down and I miss him everyday! I live in Waverly. I work in the Waconia area and am flexible for scheduled walks and check-ins! Excited and hopeful for Rover experiences. Looking forward to helping others in need! Not usually busy in the fall/winter, so available more during this time! My family enjoys being outside playing and throwing balls for dogs. If this is something you are interested, we can make it possible. If not, please inform me! Feel free to contact me if I can help you and your fur babies out! I am home 2-3 days a week. I am flexible and open to drop ins whenever, if you are. I am excited for spring, I cannot wait to add more walks! I have not had any negative reviews! I wouldn’t trust anyone with my pet, and wouldn’t expect you to do so either. I am a trustworthy person and a former pet owner myself!

My twin girls will be the cuddles. We are excited to welcome your fur baby to our home. I am a teacher, so I am currently at home for a lot of my day. My main job is running my 4 kids to activities at night. Our day consists of going on the trail behind our house for walks and hanging out at home, or taking trips to the pool or other fun outing. Having older boys who are home too means my house isn't lonely for pets in the summer. I will treat your pets and your house as if it were my own. I will follow instructions that are given to me. If I need clarification, I will ask. I know how hard it is to leave your pet, so I will treat them how I want dogs treated.
