Dog Walking Briarwood

“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”

“My fur baby loved his walks with Wyneta. She was always on time and professional. We definitely enjoyed her services and can't wait to book again.”

“Abbie is very communicative, she follows instructions well to ensure proper care of your animal, and is kind/understanding to my Zuko! No issues and will certainly plan to book with her again.”

About: Reliable Walks and Attentive Care for Your Dog I provide structured walks and dependable, patient care tailored completely to your dog’s natural pace, routine, and energy level. Whether your dog needs an active neighborhood workout or a gentle, slow-paced potty break, I focus entirely on keeping them safe and happy. • Structured Neighborhood Walks: I keep dogs securely leashed, alert, and focused during walks, ensuring they get the proper exercise and fresh air they need while strictly following your preferred routes and handling rules. • Patience with All Energies: I am equally comfortable handling high-energy dogs that love to stay moving and older, senior dogs that require a slower, gentler pace with zero rushing. • Consistent Routine Enforcement: I follow your exact feeding instructions, gate protocols, and behavioral boundaries down to the letter so your dog's daily structure remains perfectly intact while you are away. Whether you need a reliable daily dog walker or a trusted sitter for drop-in visits, I provide the focused attention and dependable care your dog deserves. I am currently providing pet care full-time, which means I have completely open availability and a highly flexible schedule. Because I don't have traditional office hours or commuting conflicts, your pets will be my primary focus throughout the day, ensuring their exact feeding, walking, and medication routines are never rushed. Caring in My Home (Boarding) • Active and Supervised Yard Time: While my yard is not fenced, I have a small yard setup that allows for secure tie-out lines under my constant, direct supervision. I never leave animals outside unattended. • Excellent Local Mobility: I have a reliable car equipped for safe pet transportation, allowing me to easily take your dog to the best local dog parks in the area for structured socialization and play. • Highly Walkable Neighborhood: I live in a very quiet, walkable neighborhood that is perfect for long, scenic on-leash walks. Your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and mental stimulation right outside my door. • Secure Indoor Structure: My home environment is kept secure, quiet, and highly organized to ensure that guest animals—whether dogs, cats, or reptiles—have their own designated, stress-free spaces to relax. Caring in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits) • Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact household instructions, locking procedures, and gate setups down to the letter to ensure your home remains safe and secure while you are away. • Objective Daily Updates: I send quick, factual text updates and photos after every visit so you know exactly when your pet was fed, walked, or given their specific medication. • Absolute Respect for Your Space: I maintain clean professional boundaries, leaving your home exactly how I found it and focusing 100% of my time on keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and happy in their familiar surroundings.

“My first time using Rover, Michelle was very nice, came over to meet us before the visit, and kept me updated. She made me feel much better about having a stranger come over and walk my dog.”

“Julia is wonderful with my puppy. He has had a great time taking walks with her, and we will be sure to book Julia again!”

“Adam did an awesome job with our dogs! Scarlett doesn’t always have the best social skills with new people, but he handled her like a pro and she warmed up fast. Luka had a rough start not feeling the best, but Adam took it all in stride and kept both dogs safe and happy. This walk was a prep for upcoming house sitting, and it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he communicates well, goes above and beyond, and really cares. Highly recommend!”

“Acacia is awesome and Roxy LOVES her.”

About: From when I was young, I spent a lot of my time outdoors helping on our farm and taking care of family friends and neighbors pets. Ive always had a soft spot for animals my entire life. I’m comfortable with all breeds. I’ve worked with puppies and kitties to senior dogs and cats. Im up for the task for all accommodations. Im strongly confident in grooming, special diet, in training/trained pets and/or medication if needed. Available 7 days of the week. If you need early morning, afternoon, evenings or overnight I can accommodate . Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved family member. I’m flexible during the week and on weekends. I do not work outside the home. We like to go for walks rain or shine. I’m comfortable with early or late drops ins. I like to maintain their routine or better while they are with me. Whether thats their mealtimes, outside trips and exercise outside. I have gates inside if needed for safety.

About: I have had pets of my own most of my life and as I get older and travel more I understand how difficult it is to find a trustworthy helper for your pets. I would love to be a responsible person to help families and their 4 legged friends when their own mom/dad can’t be there for them. I work part time in the evenings and would be happy to help during mornings, afternoons, and evenings when I don’t have other commitments. I could do weekly routines or drop in as needed. I do have a fenced in backyard, but would prefer drop in visits in the pets home. I would consider care in my home possibly in some situations and short term basis.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My family had many hunting dogs when I was growing up and after graduating from college I ended up adopting five of my own dogs. I love and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. My dogs are all different breeds and sizes and vary in ages. I’ve worked as a groomer, a dog handler and trainer at a boarding facility, and have worked with various pet parents on nutrition and behavior training for their dogs. I am currently finishing my undergraduate degree in Animal Science and am then as well as a new certification in hospice and palliative care for senior and terminally ill dogs. I also recently received my certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I eventually would to work with pet parents to help them with making sure their pets live a happy and healthy life. I recently graduated and am going to staying in Fargo until fall of 2026 due to an internship that is all mostly done online so I am pretty open during the week and weekend for whatever you and your pup may need. My dogs all have their own kennel as well as their own dogs beds, although they get to sleep wherever and usually chose to sleep on the couch or my bed with me. I have a dog door for them that goes out to the deck with a large fully fenced in back yard. For food and water I have a dog water dispenser upstairs and downstairs and have a separate space from my dogs with dog beds, a tv, couch, and many toys for dogs staying with me to eat and have a space away from my dogs if they need it. I am willing to do whatever you may need to make things as stress free as possible for both you and your pups.

About: When people ask if I have any kids, my response is that I have dogs. My dogs are my family and yes I do celebrate their birthdays. I have had a dog in my house since I was 3yrs old. I have taken care of neighbors pets. I recently rescued a puppy from a farm and organized and found a fur-ever loving home for her. I am still in communication with her owner and get updated pictures. My dream growing up was to have as many dogs like in the movie "101 dalmations". I have taken care of puppies, kittens, bunnies, ferrets, goats, chickens, and ducklings. I am able to stay the whole weekend at owners home. I am able to walk dogs during the week and weekend. The latest drop-in visit I can do is 10pm. I give my full attention to the pets I am caring for. I keep them busy with play or just someone to sit by. I understand it is stressful not only to your pet but also to you as well having to leave them with someone or at a kennel, I feel the same way! I keep meals on schedule and I'm able to administer medications (orally- some need special ways to sneak in 😃). I send picture updates throughout my stay.

“Jess is fantastic. She does a great job with my girl. My girl is a little slow to accept new people usually, but took to Jess like nothing I’ve ever seen before. 5/5 would recommend Jess to anyone who in need.”

About: I have always loved animals and animals have always loved me! I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I helped raise pitbull and mini poodle puppies and I've also helped raise kittens. I'm open to seeing more animals like birds and reptiles! I currently have an open schedule. This may change in a few days but as of right now, i can do anytime. As long as it's at the customer's house. I follow strict rules and procedures put in place for me in your home. I'll bathe your pets, feed them of course, give them love and affection and make sure they go to the potty. If it's a cat I'll make sure to scoop the litter boxes twice a day. I'll even clean your house if you want me to. I'll also make sure your pet stays hydrated and attend to any special needs they may have.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 5 years old! Which gives me lots of experience I have been around dogs my whole life and just love them. Training dogs to sit, listen and be potty trained and things I have done with all 3 of my dogs. I have watched my family’s and friend’s dogs. I love being active with dogs such as playing fetch going on runs and walks with them but won’t turn down cuddle either. I recently moved to the Fargo/Moorhead area and started Physical Therapy graduate school. I will be available to take care of dogs before, in between, after classes and on the weekends. My parents have 3 dogs who I took care of while I was home. I will take care of your dogs just as they were my own as well as be respectful of your house and rules for your dogs.

“Absolutely loved Harlie and our doodles did too! Blaze and Gracie Mae responded warmly to Harlie and cooperated well with her. She obviously knows dogs and how to work with them. We have no hesitation in recommending Harlie.”
