Hi! I'm Sarah. I absolutely love dogs and love spending time exercising outdoors, so the opportunity to take your pup for a walk is a win-win! Most of my experience with dogs comes from the rescue dogs that I foster. I've had the privilege to work with a wonderful local rescue for the past year, and have helped five sweeties find their forever homes. Friends and family have always regarded me as their go-to person for dog and pet sitting, and I'm very grateful for all the fantastic dogs I've been able to care for over the years.

“Need a break? I’ll walk your dog!”
Hi all! I have been a dog owner for the last 15 years and I have loved all the dogs that I have come across. I have always had either a poodle or a goldendoodle in my household. I have always been overly excited when I see dogs because they just brighten up my day. Walking dogs is something that I have been doing for years, so I feel that I have the hang of things, from small dogs to the really big dogs. I have no problem walking then in all sorts of weather conditions and places.Dogs are great!

I have never met a dog I didn't want to play with! Always willing and ready to go for long walks with a pup. I had a Great Pyrenees for 14 years growing up and she unfortunately just passed so I'm missing seeing a dog everyday! I played basketball at northeastern here in Boston so running around and playing fetch is not gonna be a problem at all.

I'm always willing to go out of my way to give your dog the experience you want it to have, because that's what I would want for mine. I look forward to getting to meet your four legged friend.

“I look forward to walking your dog!”
Hi! My name is Kate. With the COVID-19 shutdowns this is my only way of income and I appreciate any and all walks. I joined Wag to be able to spend more time with pups and because it’s a great side job. I’m very responsible and patient with animals but also love to spoil them. I have walked dogs before and am excited to be able to schedule on my own with owners, I can’t wait to meet and walk your dog!

Dog Walking in Excelsior
Excelsior is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and it sits on Lake Minnetonka. More than 2,300 people live in Excelsior, and it's less than 20 miles from downtown Minneapolis. Founded in 1853, Excelsior was the first community built on Lake Minnetonka, and it has grown a lot since then. Today, Excelsior has several businesses, restaurants, hotels, and neighborhoods, and plenty of impressive Victorian architecture. Excelsior is a wonderful place to raise a family, and if your family includes furry four-legged members, you'll enjoy walking around the town, and you are never more than a quick drive away from an off-leash dog park.
One of the best ways to get to know Excelsior while simultaneously bonding with your pooch is by trekking the Southwest Regional LRT together. This crushed-stone trail stretches for nearly 20 miles, and it winds through Excelsior as well as other Minneapolis suburbs. During your walk, you and your dog will get a glimpse of suburban Minnesota living, and you'll also come across scenic parks, bluffs, and creeks. This trail is part of a network of trails spanning America that were converted from unused railway lines. Your dog must be on a leash while you walk this trail, but when it's time for an off-leash trip, there are plenty of nearby options!
