Minneapolis, MN Dog Walking, Pet Sitting & Grooming

When you locked eyes with that husky at the rescue shelter, you said yes, and you knew he wasn’t going to be an easy dog. Not that you really wanted one anyway. You said yes because you liked the idea of a running partner, a hiking companion, and someone who’d match your energy.

You didn’t know how much your career was going to take off, or how much you’d be spending time working from home, unable to get away from the computer. The husky, though, has no off switch. Now he’s pacing in circles around your living room at 2 PM because your meeting ran long. He’s eyeing your favorite throw pillow with a suspicious gleam in his eye too.

Your calico, meanwhile, has claimed the radiator as personal territory from October through April. She emerges when the apartment warms up, offers up a single judgmental look, and returns to her post. There’s a paradox here: she’s self-sufficient, but she needs someone around to see how self-sufficient she is. She needs you around so you know that she doesn’t need you around.

Life is busy. It doesn’t always mesh well with pet routines. It’s easy to find yourself stuck on 394 watching brake lights snake into distance. Workdays can run long past when they should have ended. And you could find yourself traveling for something important that can’t be rescheduled.

But your pets still need care. And that’s why Woofie's® of West Minneapolis provides dog walking, pet sitting, and mobile grooming for busy pet parents like you.

Minneapolis Dog Walking That Fits Your Schedule

As far as your cattle dog can tell, "work from home" means "available for walks whenever I decide it's time." The staring started at noon. The sighing started at 12:30. By 1 PM, he’s positioned between you and your laptop in a way that's impossible to ignore. 

Our Minneapolis dog walkers know every dog has different needs. Some have energy to spare, and they need to run far and hard, maybe along the trails at Theodore Wirth or through the paths at Bryn Mawr Meadows. Others want to stop every ten feet because every fire hydrant contains valuable intel and you can’t just…walk past it. That would be madness.

So that means your reactive rescue will benefit from patient, calm handling. And your overly social golden gets someone who won't panic when they try to greet every jogger, cyclist, UPS driver, and dog walker in the neighborhood.

And we’ll also track our walk by GPS. You can check our app at any time to see how long we were out and where we went. You’ll never have to wonder if the walk really happened.

In-Home Pet Sitting for Minneapolis Families

Your German shepherd has claimed the front window as security headquarters. And you better believe that when the mail carrier comes around, he’ll be standing bolt upright barking out the shipping address of your parcel in Morse code. And you don’t want to know the absolute tirade squirrels are subjected to.

Meanwhile, your anxious rescue, a mix of approximately thirty breeds of dog, mostly sleeps in the sunny spot all day long. But when you’re home from work, she’ll come up for precisely one scratch on the head before going back to the sunny spot.

Pets have their routines, and it’s how they make sense of the world. So we learn these routines so we can keep them happy while you’re away. 

Does your dog lose it when the doorbell rings? Does your cat only accept humans who completely ignore him? These are the sorts of questions we think about when it’s time to watch pets.

While you’re away, we take care of feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and cleanup. We'll also collect packages and water plants—because coming home to dead houseplants and a pile of deliveries isn't exactly relaxing.

For pets who need overnight company, we offer in-home overnight care (7 PM to 7 AM) and Bed & Biscuit stays at a sitter's home for social dogs who enjoy a change of scenery.

Minneapolis, MN Mobile Pet Grooming That Comes to You

Your bernedoodle could find mud in a desert. So that low patch in your yard that never totally dries may as well have been one of those kitschy roadside attractions that you can’t not stop at. And for a souvenir, he brought home—oh, look—an entire coat full of mud. 

He’s looking proud. You’re wishing your car had leather seats. And you really don’t have time to drive to the groomer right now, but this isn’t something you can ignore either.

For situations like these, as well as routine appointments, we can bring our mobile grooming van to your Minneapolis neighborhood instead. It’s climate-controlled, fully equipped, and comes with its own water and power. All we have to do is park. Then your dog gets one-on-one attention in a calm environment without crates, waiting rooms, or other dogs barking nearby.

And you stay home while your dog gets cleaned up.

Why Minneapolis Pet Parents Trust Woofie's® 

We're local to the west metro. We know Minneapolis traffic follows its own rules, especially when the weather decides to do something (as it so often does). We understand that winter here lasts approximately seven months and that "I'll be home by 5" is more of a suggestion than a commitment.

Basically, we look after you because we’re neighbors. So we show up when scheduled and do what we promise. That means your pets get consistent care, and you get one less thing competing for your attention.
