Think happy hours, coffee meetups, and plenty of dog stories.

Safety Comes First
At The Monster Minders, safety is at the center of everything we do, and that includes protecting our team. While we proudly mind “monsters,” the dogs in our care are carefully vetted for safety and a good fit with our walkers. Unlike the "apps," every single client is screened by the company for safety.
We provide clear protocols, supportive management that is a phone call away during service hours, and a team that has your back when questions come up in the field. We believe dog walking is fun, outdoor work, but it should also feel safe, supported, and professional.
