“I want to meet another 4 legged friend!”
I don't remember a time in my life when I haven't had a dog! My experience ranges from having dogs on a farm to my current urban life with my 13 year old boxer lab mix. I love to explore Minneapolis with an enthusiastic 4 legged friend!

Hi, I am Sid. I have two West Highland Terriers and a Doberman, all rescues. I have been working as a professional dog walker for several years. Animals love me—standoffish or skittish pets who avoid people as a rule will often come to me. They know an animal lover when they meet one. I know how precious our furry family members are and will always treat your pet like one of my own. I am also a massage therapist on the side and dogs LOVE getting deep-tissue massages after our walks!

I have worked with Wag for about a year now and love it. Being a good fit and responsible walker is priority. After saying goodbye to my Hank at age 15, he is in my bio photo, I haven’t thought of getting another dog. So being able to share my love for dogs through Wag not only gives me joy but your dog is getting the best care and exercise. I try to fit as many walks as possible during the week as I drive school bus and have breaks during routes. I’m looking forward to many more walks.

“Dog Fanatic, Dog Mom, Dog Lover”
Hi owners, my name is Ashley and I have lived all my life in the Twin Cities. I have always been raised around dogs. I currently have a Shih Tzu named Porsha and she is 5 years old. She gets along great with other dogs. When boarding, I leave it up to the owner if they are ok with Porsha staying in the home otherwise I have her stay at my mom’s home. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I will always treat your pup with love and respect.

First and foremost I loooove dogs .I have had dogs my whole life.I think a house without a dog is not a home.I have been a pet sitter for many years. I have volunteered at animal shelters. I have cared for special needs dogs as well as diabetic dogs, so I am comfortable administering medicines including shots. I currently have a difficult dog with many issues , I was only suppose to dog sit this dog for two weeks however the owner never came back. I still have the dog and continue to work with him because my policy is to never give up on a dog! I love meeting and caring for dogs no matter what their çorks may be.
