Dog Walkers in Zumbrota, MN

About: I have a patiences and love for animals! I am very comfortable walking, grooming, and loving all types of pets. I have worked with dogs (puppies and seniors), reptiles, fish and cats. I have a lot of availability during the day. I do not work a traditional 9-5 job and have flexibility to focus on your pets. I focus on the safety and joy of your pet! I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.

“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”

About: I grew up around livestock and all sorts of other animals. I recently lost my own dog but when I had her I used Rover to help find a regular dog sitter for when I went on teacher conferences. I recently became trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid. I am not afraid to give medications to an animal and have taken care of dogs that have special needs such as anxiety, fear of fireworks, fear of guns and high energy. I am currently on a teaching schedule but after memorial day I will be available most days. If I am away during the summer it's usually just during the day. They will take first priority, getting food, water, any medications prescribed and taken to go outside will all take place before my needs. I can provide a kennel at my home and kennel trained my own dog understanding the process for that.

“Always does an amazing job 👏”

“Delany was so great with my dog, Whisky. My husband and I needed a dog walker for a week while I was out of town and he was working. She was always on time, sent lots of pictures, quick to respond, and Whisky enjoyed his daily walks. We will be calling Delany again next time we need any dog walking!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.

About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.

About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. I currently only work 3 days a week for 4 hours so I’m VERY flexible! You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!

About: My husband and I are both dog-people! We have a fenced in yard with our split level home. We have less than an acre but it’s a great yard. We have a standard poodle who loves making new friends! Our daughters are 9 years old and younger but are taught to treat all animals with love, respect, and space. I work in the Kasson-Mantorville school district, and my husband works from home. We both are done with work before 4 every day so we have a lot of extra time for dogs. In the summer I am home all day. We’ve got a fenced in yard that works great for medium-large sized dogs. If you have a smaller dog we may still tie them out when we let them outside as they may be able to sneak through the fence!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including my own dog of 4+ years and pet sitting for family with large breeds like Boxers and Pitbulls. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always focus on calm, attentive care. I’ve also owned small pets like guinea pigs and mice, so I understand the importance of being gentle and detail-oriented. No matter the animal, I treat each one with patience, respect, and genuine care—just like they’re my own. I live with and help care for cats—feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter, giving treats, and playing with them daily. We also regularly visit a friend with dogs and cats, so being around and caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment clean, and their energy positive. I’ll make sure they’re fed and have fresh water, give them any needed walks or playtime, and provide comfort and attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds, strong dogs, and more fragile pets, so I adapt my care to fit each animal’s needs and personality. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—calm, dependable, and always with genuine care.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life, from our family pets, to helping lambs on the local farms, to years of work as a veterinary technician, and full circle to teaching my kids these same skills. If you’re looking for an experienced veterinary professional to help look after your furry family while you’re away, you need look no further. I specialize in caring for pets with chronic medical conditions and multiple pet households. I’m based locally in Rochester, MN and cat travel daily multiple times as needed to suit clients needs. I’m currently in a remote work job with very flexible hours and can adjust my day as needed to support you. I come prepared with treats and extra leashes as needed. I drive a reliable wagon that can transport your pup around and take them to their favorite dog park or nature walk.

“Winston really enjoyed his walks with Zoe!”

About: I’ve taken care of small to big dogs for almost 10 years now. I have a dealt with a handful of reactive dogs as well as plenty non reactive dogs, I was taught how to read dogs body language about 6 months ago and I’m still working on improving! I have dealt with scuffles as well as dogs that were very persistent. Currently I am at a doggy daycare Fridays and Saturdays taking care of daycare and boarding dogs. Sunday thought Thursday I am at home taking care of my own dog by continuing his training, taking him on walks, playing with him, and watching him play with his sister. In my home I care for my pets by making sure I give them attention, exercise, mental stimulation, fun outside time with bones and toys, as well as making sure my puppy stays rested after a long day. When taking care of clients pets I treat them the exact same way and I make sure I follow the owners instructions to ensure the best care for the best pups!

“My wife and I recently moved to red wing and have used Samantha as our go-to sitter/walker. She has been awesome! She’s punctual, responsive, and affordable. Not to mention great with the dogs! They are always happy to see her. We are very glad to have found Samantha and cannot recommend her enough.”

“Nug and Bean had a lot of fun and were super tired when they got back from their 30 minute walk. Olivia was on time to pick them up and flexible when I asked if she could come a bit earlier than the reservation I had made. She was super nice and the dogs were comfortable with her right away, they left the house without even looking back once, lol. Will be reaching out to her again for another walk soon!”

About: I am a fourth-year Animal Science major at the University of Minnesota wanting to pursue vet school. I own a dog, two cats, and one horse personally. I grew up on the same 20 acres that my grandfather's small animal and equine veterinary practice resided so I am well versed in the vet-med functions. My grandma also bred Miniature Aussies when I was a kid so I am very comfortable with puppy-age alongside the energy of herding dogs. I have overnight pet sat for numerous friends and neighbors alongside just check-ins throughout the day. These animals have ranged from cows, horses, goats, chickens, and dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with numerous different personalities as I have watched a friend's boarding kennel for numerous different weekends. I usually go home every weekend so am typically just available Monday-Friday Morning as I am scheduled to work at home alongside wanting to see my own animals. I try to follow their usual routine in their own home which can range from feeding them at their usual time and going outside for walks or potty time. I also allow them to sleep in the bed with me if that is what they are used to. The least abnormal day for them is the goal.

About: I grew up on 90 acres of land where we had 16 dogs at one point(one of our dogs had puppies)! I’ve always loved taking care of animals, but dogs especially! I am currently working from home so I have more than enough time on my hands when it comes to your animals a.k.a. your kids🤍 I have a large front yard with an avocado tree for shade where my pup loves to lounge out at! If your fury friend doesn’t get along well with other dogs I can always keep in separate areas(:

About: When it comes to pets, I know they can be our babies and we want the best care for them. I love all size dogs, big ones don't scare me they only seem to have big hearts. I'd love to help out and check on your fur babies while you are away or at work. I am available early in the morning before I go to work to check on pets and feed them and in the early evenings. Weekends I have more time to visit and care for pets. If you have specific crate instructions, I will follow them to ensure your pet is safe and happy. I live on a couple of acres, but do have dog leash and cable if needed.

About: Can work on any potential training that you are in the process of working on. I have been raised around dogs my whole life. Ranging from puppies to senior dogs.
