Dog Walkers in Zimmerman, MN

About: My pitbull Bella brings endless joy to my every day. Knowing other pet owners feel the same about their furry companions, I take the responsibility of treating someone else's pet with the same care I would give my own. My life with Bella has given me experiences with dogs that may need a little extra care (understanding heat sensitivity, aging dog issues and supplements or medications). On the opposite side of that, higher energy dogs that may need a brisk walk or run are no issue. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and will also do cat drop in visits if needed.. For drop in visits, I am able to feed and provide medications if needed. I can provide early morning and after work evening care on weekdays and am more flexible on time for weekends. I work full-time, but am almost completely remote. Pre-planned drop ins for dogs or cats and dog walks during the week can be worked into my fairly flexible schedule. Walks and pet care is done at my client's home. I'll be sure to provide your pet the interaction it needs while you are away.

“Ashley did AMAZING!!! She was so good with our senior dog who has degenerative myelopathy. She came for a meet and greet and learned how to put our German Shepherd in her wheels and caught on fast. Samantha loved her right away. Ashley was great at communication and sent us photos of our girl. Ashley was super gentle and patient with Sam which is what she needs in this stage of life. We would have her back any day!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I currently work full time. I don’t work Mondays so I would be perfect for a long weekend. I work longer days so I am open to being available for any dog but I leave home early in the morning and I return in the evening. Weekends allow for the most availability for me (with the addition of Mondays) I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!

About: Since I was young I have many different animals including dogs, bunnies, chickens, and horses. I love every animal and will provide the best care possible! I am a stay at home wife with 2 dogs. I am available at anytime your pet needs me. I live in Zimmerman but am willing to go out of town! I have a large yard that's fenced along with two large loving dogs. Both of my dogs are very friendly and have never had issues with other pets.

“We had our first official visit yesterday with Jen. She was prompt, on time and very informative! She sent me several fun updates with photos. Looking forward to hiring her for several more visits! My dogs love her. Thank you!!!!!!”

About: I have always had animals in my life in some form and love having extra dog friends to play with and love on. Your pup(s) will leave us as part of our family :) We are active in going for walks and absolutely love the outdoors. I do have small children but they were raised around all kinds of animals and are very kind and gentle to our furry friends. A stay with us includes: Unlimited belly rubs Homemade dog treats! (Unless allergies are a concern) Free roam of our home (unless specified) 1+ walk a day, or more if needed. We are always outside in he backyard, and love to play fetch! 1-3 daily updates with photo :) We would love to be your pets home away from home ❤️ Caring for animals and children is my expertise and I plan my days around your pets stay and activity level. We enjoy walks, playing in the yard, or just lounging around the house depending on the day. We have a fenced off space just for the pups to play, lots of toys and additional walks are provided as well. Front doors are limited access to pets providing a safer space.

About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.

About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 24 years of experience caring for family dogs, and I really enjoy providing excellent care for other families' furry loved ones. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed. I also have an outdoor kennel that is covered and shaded and has a dog house if your pup prefers to spend some time outside in good weather.

“Andrea was fantastic! She was so responsive, on time, available at short notice, and loved my big fluffy dog! 100% recommend. Thankful we found someone so great.”

About: I have taken care of ALL kinds of animals my entire life. (farm, dogs, cats, etc) I can go to your house and care for your animals. Or they can board at ours ◡̈ i do not spend the night at peoples houses. i will stop in the morning afternoon and night .(i have my own dogs at home that i need to care for ) I have plenty of time for your animals, week days, overnights, weekends, holidays ! Plenty of run time with the fenced in yard, little pool, and walks in the evening. We go on daily walks/dog park, and have a room for boarding at my house. I have a loving German short haired pointer. I will send plenty of pictures of your pups !

About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.

About: I’ve been around and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve grown and been around dogs ranging from different breeds, ages and genders! I work 6-2 Monday through Friday with weekends off, so after 2:45 I am available at anytime time, along with being available at anytime on weekends! I have a partially fenced in backyard along with part of the yard and front yard being unfenced with lots of room to run and play. I’m also all for taking walks through the neighborhood, finding new and fun walking paths with pretty views and/or finding a dog park!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends, family, and clients, and I currently share my home with multiple cats. I genuinely love cats and understand their routines, personalities, and boundaries. I also have experience supporting pets that are sick or recovering from injury, including monitoring behavior and providing attentive care. Living and working with animals has taught me patience, awareness, and how to adapt to each pet’s individual needs so they feel safe and well cared for. I am self employed so my time is truly my time I do NOT work for anyone else outside of the home so my focus is on my clients. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and low-stress as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain a clean environment, and pay attention to behavior or health changes. I’m experienced with multi-cat households and pets that may need extra care or monitoring. Safety, patience, and clear communication are priorities so pets feel secure and owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I've dog sat many dogs before, and am looking to start walking dogs! I have a reactive dog myself, so I am comfortable walking reactive dogs, I have trained my dog to perform 37 different tricks, as well as obedience commands. I'd love to work with your dogs as well! This summer, I am working half days, so I'll have plenty of time to take your dog(s) on a long walk while you are at work! I am used to walking reactive dogs, and feel confident enough walking other reactive dogs. I will crate your dog if you want, and use whatever tools/ collars you use while walking your dogs.

About: I’ve had a german shepherd, but he passed a few years ago. I have a bunny right now though. I love all animals and willing to take care of any kind. I work one day a week at pizza barn in Princeton, and i do online schooling so my schedule is pretty open! I also work in the summer for my dad at his potato farm, so my schedule in the months of july-september might be busy during the daytime but I could do occasional evenings. I don’t have any pets but i really wish i did, I can’t because i live with my parents and they don’t want any animals. But i’m extremely comfortable with every animal and try to be around them a lot. That’s why i feel like this would be a really good fit for me :)

“My Sadie was very happy with her walks, highly recommended, will definitely reschedule.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner since the age of 8. I love taking dogs on walks, pet sitting and especially taking my dog to the off the leash dog park where she is happiest. I’m very good with all types of dogs and very patient. My wife calls me the dog whisperer. My weeknights are free and weekends are free. My wife works the opposite schedule as me so she is available during the day. It works for both dog walking and pet sitting. I have a very sweet Alaskan Husky who loves going to the dog park and is very sweet and very good with all types of dogs. We have a fenced in backyard and a pet friendly home. We have three kids who love dogs and 1 dog of our own. We love caring for dogs and getting them (and me) plenty of exercise.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they need. My experience includes dog walking, sitting, feeding, administering medications, and providing basic training. I am skilled in reading body language and am patient and compassionate when it comes to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing a long walk or a senior dog requiring more gentle care, I am able to fit the dog’s individual requirements. I’m also experienced in managing feeding schedules, maintaining a safe environment, and ensuring pets are engaged and happy while their owners are away. I am currently taking College classes online. I’m pretty open to any anytime during the day throughout the week! I am also able to work early morning or late nights too. I understand how important it is to ensure a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment for your pet. Whether I’m caring for them in my own home or yours, I prioritize their well being at all times. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room! I create a secure and comfortable space for them. My home is pet friendly and pet proofed, with all potential hazards removed to ensure your pet’s safety. I have 2 friendly dogs a golden doodle and shit tzu that get along great with anyone. I believe in building trust with both you and your pet!
