Dog Sitting Grand Forks

About: I have had multiple animals under my care from dogs and cats to raccoons and squirrels! I have been in animal care of different aspects for my entire adult life. I want to have flexibility, gain more experience, all while getting my degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I am currently working part time and doing school online! I am very flexible with care schedules but am most available in the evenings after 4pm. Depending on the day, I could do different times but it would need to be discussed since I don’t have the same schedule every week. My cat is very friendly with humans but he is very territorial over his home with other animals and I don’t feel comfortable having other pets in my home at this time. With your fur babies, I want to try and keep them in their routine in your home as much as possible to ease possible stress with separation from you. Whether that means play time, training/mentally stimulating activities, or just tv on the couch, Im here for it! I am also willing to take your dogs for walks around your neighborhood, at a park, etc. i would love to discuss what your dogs comfortable with and loves!

About: I have been walking dogs in my neighborhood since I was 9. My sister is a dog trainer, so growing up I was always around dogs and doing work walking and pet sitting. I have gained some experience with reactive dogs and some tips and tricks for training as well. I have a german shepherd, so I am certainly comfortable with larger and high energy dogs. I have done a few dog sports such as agility and flyball! My friends and neighbors consider me to be very reliable and trustworthy. I worry and care for other’s pets like they are my own. I also have two senior dogs as well! I am available from 8am-8pm. I am home from college for the summer and currently do not have a scheduled job, so I am really flexible and available! I have a fenced-in backyard and a field next to my house. I have two dogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and they are off-leash trained and get along with other dogs very well.

“Madison was amazing! She met the pups during a meet and greet, they instantly loved her. Her background in pet care really set our minds at ease. She followed all of our instructions to the letter, even picking up on our Staffy’s anxiety around the fireworks and providing her with meds. The pups were so happy and well taken care of when we got home. She was on time for every visit and extremely communicative. She provided wonderful photos of all the love the pups gave her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”

About: I love dogs! I have owned dogs in the past, but currently do not! I will walk, feed, play with, pick up after and make sure your pups are cared for just as if it were you caring for them! I currently work full-time and have a school age child, so I am limited on morning care times, but am more flexible in the afternoons, evenings and weekends! Drop in visits and overnight stays for your dogs will have to be done at your home due to my 4 cats, and that they have not been around dogs!

About: Dog owner for 15 years Loves taking dogs on long walks and adventures Dog sitting Feeding dogs Yard clean up Playing with dogs House sitting/dog sitting I’m currently finishing my junior year of high school. In the summer I play legion baseball and would love to care for your dogs between practices and games. I have a car and license and can easily drive to your house to feed, walk, and play so the your dog. I would clean up after your pet and give them lots of love and attention.

About: Ive been taking care of dogs for a long time. I have a puppy right now that is about two years old named Bauer and he is my best friend. Before Bauer I had two other puppies and I love all dogs. I would love to spend time with your dog take them on walks, drives, feedings, baths, and to the park! I am still in school so I am working part time and when I am avaliable I would love to spend my time with your puppy! I do have a very friendly puppy in my home that loves to meet new puppy friends! I would love to have our puppies become friends and bring them to the dog parks, on walks, drives etc.

About: I grew up in Grand Forks with 2 German Shepherds and a Yorkie. I love every type of dog, big or small. I worked at the doggie daycare Petopia in town for a year and a half and only stopped in preparation for school. I loved every dog I met as much as my own and my camera roll is filled with pictures of them! I’m currently a class of 2030 UND Aviation student and I work part time dispatch at Ryan Hall but I’m pretty flexible. I love staying busy, playing tennis, flying, going to my lake, and going on walks, so I think this would be a great addition. I work part time for UND and I start school in August where I typically have class midday. I often get up early and go on nightly walks. I’d love dogs to be apart of my morning and nightly routine. I love to play with dogs when they’re in their high-energy state and I also love to just pet them if they want to lounge. Going on walks and staying healthy is very important to me and having a pup to accompany me would be awesome! Just like myself, I’d always make sure they have water.

“Sam has been wonderful about flexibility with my sometimes-goofy schedule.”

About: I have many years of pet experience as well as 3 dogs at my parents house. I grew up with dogs in my home my whole life. I absolutely adore dogs and am a very responsible and respectful person. I have taught my dogs tricks, and helped with potty training. I also enjoy long walks. I am allergic to cats but not dogs! I am 21 and currently a student. I have cared for all kinds of pets, dogs, bunnies, fish, hamsters I have class during the week but have breaks and am available most of the day. I am open to any schedules you may need! I prefer coming to your home, and am open to any living situation. I will take the dogs to the park, on walks, and hangout in the home. I provide safe and responsible care for your pets.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10, I have my own dog and she is a Yorkie. I also have experience taking care of my neighbors cats. I have my own vehicle and have a very flexible schedule. I am willing to work weekends! I would love to get the chance to get to know your pet. Reach out! I would make sure your pet is cared for by giving it the proper exercise it needs with a healthy diet. I will be aware of any accidents that take place in the house and will take care of stains if needed.

About: Dogs and cats have always been apart of my life. I grew up with boxers, pitbulls, dobermans, labs and other breeds. I have a beagle name Chairle that I got as a puppy 5 years ago. Charlie has had quite the adventures in 5 years. She has been backpacking in 8 Minnesota state parks, and been on a road trip to 14 states. When at home, we go for 2 to 3, 30 minutes walks a day and play fetch and tug alot. I also have a Shepard mix named Jimmy Dean that I adopted. Jimmy is more of a couch potatoe but he joins the adventure when he has the chance. We would love to watch your pet and have an adventure together. I work a flexible job so I can let your pet out multiple time a day. We will spend the afternoons going for a walk then relaxing. If it is nice out we will be outside most of the afternoon unless your pet is a house cat then they will have lots of windows to look out and pets to be had. I have a nice neighborhood to walk around and beagle, and a shepard mix for your pet to play with. My beagle and shepard have grown up around cats and dogs. We love being outside so we will try to be outside as much as possible. When not outside the pets will be allowed to be up on furniture and sleep in my bed with me.

About: I have had and been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of my parents dogs when they are gone as well as my friend’s dogs! My love for dogs has grown even more over the years. Getting to watch their personalities is so much fun to me! I would love to meet your fur babies and when they are with me I’ll love them as if they were mine!! I am currently going to OTA school in Grand Forks so that is Monday-Thursday but my Friday - Sunday is completely open!! If you do need anything after 5 pm during the week I am open to that as well!! I currently just have cats that like to stay inside! They get fed three times a day and get baths every other week to keep their hair nice since they are long haired!

About: I have worked at an animal shelter for a couple years. I went to school for Animal Science Major for a semester but then decided to groom dogs. I was a groomer for about 1 year. Now I work full-time at a vet clinic in Grand Forks, ND! I am currently also attending online school for my veterinary technician license! I’m currently working full-time on weekdays until 5pm. I am available later in the evenings on weekdays and also available on weekends anytime of the day! I have a ton of experience with different types of dogs and their behaviors. I am very loving but will be dominant if needed! Your pet will get so much love from me! I find joy in caring for animals and helping them live a full filling and loving life!

About: I’ve always loved animals. I had a lot of pets growing up. I’d often dog and cat sit for my neighbors as a teenager and now I dog and cat sit for friends when possible. I used to have a chihuahua who passed away a few years ago at the age of 16. He was my baby and I miss him so much. Unfortunately I’m too busy to have a pet of my own, but I’d love to walk or watch your dog or cat when possible! I currently work from 8-430 Monday-Friday. I would be able to walk or hang out with your pet when I’m done with work. I’d also be willing to take your pet overnight as long as they’re picked up in the morning. I will be available some weekends and on the weekends I’d be willing to take your pet all day and possibly overnight. I always make sure that my clients pet has fresh water and is fed on time. I also provide potty breaks at least every 2 hours in the day time or as needed. I do not have a fenced yard so if I were to watch your dog at my place I would take him outside on a leash.

About: Since 2011, I’ve had amazing pet experiences with dogs, from loyal companionship to joyful adventures, shaping my life with love and trust. With that being said I’d love to be given the opportunities on this platform to help others! Weekends are completely open for me, making them an ideal time for drop-in visits and dog walks. I naturally start my mornings early with outdoor activity, so fitting in a walk or check-in visit is a seamless part of my routine rather than an afterthought. Throughout the day I'm out and about running errands, which means I'm already on the move and happy to swing by for a midday visit. While I do have social plans some evenings, mornings and afternoons are consistently available and I'm always happy to work around your pet's schedule. Dogs have been a central part of my life from day one — I grew up surrounded by them and currently share my home with two dogs of my own. This lifelong experience means I genuinely understand canine behavior, body language, and what it takes to keep a pup happy, comfortable, and safe. As a drop-in visit and dog walking provider, my focus is entirely on your dog in their own familiar environment — the place they feel most secure. Every visit is attentive and personalized, ensuring your pet receives dedicated one-on-one care, a reliable routine, and plenty of love while you're away. You can trust that your dog is in experienced, caring hands. I treat every client's pet with the same commitment and affection I show my own — because to me, it's never just a job.

“Lori was entirely reliable and I received daily check ins (commentary plus photos) from her. I really appreciated the check ins because I'd had my cat for less than a month when my trip occurred, and this was his first time alone - so I wasn't sure how it might go. I also appreciated that she really likes cats (as well as dogs), which isn't the case for everyone.”
