Pet Sitting in Horace

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was very young. I have experience with young, energetic dogs and older, senior dogs, as well as all ages in between. I have been a regular in home dog sitter for many clients for over 2 years. I am a full time enrolled college student. I take private lessons with my professor over the summer one day a week for 30 mins. I am usually very open and available When I stay in your home, my goal is to make it like I was never there. I am a very clean person so i clean all dishes I may use, and I aim to have the smallest footprint possible while giving the best care to your fur babies. I will also do check-ins with pictures in the morning/nigh based on request. I have also taken care of dogs at my personal home. At my house, I have a large, fenced in backyard and a friendly GSP/Lab mix who is 8. My home is also quite large and i have my own room in which your fur babies would stay with me.

“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”

About: As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I understand how much pets mean to their families. After raising a Min Pin for 16 years and a Bull Terrier for 11, I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for many pets through sitting and walking services while living in Germany, always providing loving, attentive care. Treating every pet like family! I work as a paraprofessional and am currently off for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I maintain a consistent routine and can still provide reliable care. In your home, I can make multiple visits throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention. At my home, while I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a large open yard with a field behind our home and several nearby walking paths. Pets in my care receive plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and supervision to keep them safe, happy and comfortable.

About: I am a certified fear free professional dog trainer. Prior to opening my business I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 6 years in 2 fargo/moorhead Veterinary Clinics. Prior to that I worked at a boarding facility. I enjoy working with dogs and cats of all ages. I have had 2 diabetic Cats in my life and I am comfortable with administering medications/injections to dogs and cats.I am also comfortable walking dog who can be over reactive to dogs and people. During the weekdays I have flexibility in my mornings and afternoons. I enjoy being active and offering care for companion animals. I am looking forward to caring for/walking companions animals during that time. I am a certified fear a force free professional dog trainer.

“Thank you for dropping in and caring for our cats!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I know what to except at each stage from puppy all the way up to older dogs. I have also had neighbors and family rely on my to watch their dogs when they’re out of town. I’m currently working full time but get done around 3:30 Monday-Friday, so I am available anytime after that to take your dog for a walk or check in on the pets! I will always be sure your dog is on a leash and being watched the entire time, while only walking in areas that feel safe!

About: I have grown up with pets being a huge part of my life. Right now I have my sweet girls Paris and Rana. Paris is a four-year old Golden Retriever and Rana is a rescue kitty from Furry Friend's Rockin' Rescue. We adopted her in 2020! I grew up with cats, and although I didn't get my first dog until I moved out on my own, she has truly made me fall in love with being a dog mom. There's something special about the genuine love that all pets give us, and there's nothing I'd love more than to help take care of yours when life gets busy. Our pets are family. They will be in great hands and will get all of the love that they deserve! I am a full-time musician, but most of the time my Monday-Friday consists of spending time with my own pets before I hit the road! Although my schedule is unpredictable, it does leave room for even more flexibility and the ability to take last minute drop-ins/walk requests! I will always put your pets safety and happiness first. I know how terrifying it can be to leave your pets' care up to someone you've never met, but can assure you they will get nothing but love and attention during my drop-ins! I am unable to have pets come to my own home as it stresses my rescue cat out too much, but love doing drop-in visits at your convenience! I am someone who runs half marathons and walks for fun... So there is nothing I'd love more than to help walk your sweet fur babies as well!

“Always the best!!”

About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.

“Kathryn was great and very thorough! Our kitty was very happy to have her visit!”

About: I worked as a vet assistant all through high school, and worked at the city pound during college, so I've got experience with all sizes and ages of dogs, as well as experience with complicated feeding routines and a variety of medications. I've got a very flexible schedule, since most of my work starts after schools lets out, so I can make most any time or day work. I can visit pets in their own home up to three times a day, and spend at least an hour with them on each visit.

About: I offer dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a daily part of my routine. I grew up on a farm where I helped care for horses, cows, and other livestock, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and understanding different animal behaviors and needs. I am comfortable caring for both indoor pets and larger animals, and I genuinely enjoy providing reliable, attentive care. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, drop-in care, or pet sitting, I bring patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals to every visit. I am free most weeknights and flexible for weekend visits. If you are needing additional visits that aren't on my schedule, don't hesitate to reach out and I can try to accommodate. I know how hard it can be to trust the care of your furry family member with a stranger. I will ensure the highest level of communication and put your mind at ease. I am always open to sending photos as well to show you just how much fun your pet is having in my care.

“Alex was great! He kept me informed during his visits and was very communicative. I would definitely book him again!”

About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for a new opportunity to be around animals this summer and get outdoors whether it’s walking pets or playing outside with pets. I have had 3 big dogs growing up and currently have 2 cats of my own that I adopted from homeward animal shelter. I always ensure that any animal in my care gets all the love that they can and that they have all the needed supplies, toys, and treats.

About: I grew up around 3 small dogs and have 2 large dogs of my own. Depending what your dog likes to do (go for walks, get attention, play with their toys) I'll do it. They deserve all the attention while you're away! I administer meds for my lab daily. My son loves to come with to help but will stay home if your pet is nervous around kids. I can let your dog out before work, lunch, after work and before bed. Any other specific times, just ask! My job is flexible so you tell me the time(s) that work for you and I'll make it work. I can't spend the night on the overnight stays but will spend lots of time with them! If I am not comfortable or you're not comfortable after we meet, you are welcome to cancel. I request we meet before booking. I use Rover when I am away and have had a good experience but try to provide a great experience to my clients.

About: I have a pup of my own and always appreciate a dependable walker/dog sitter. I know the stress of needing to find someone to care for your pet last minute. It’s not fun! I am excited to meet your pet :) I am available during the week! And starting in May 2024 will be available most weekends. I’m happy to house sit for dogs as well. I offer drop ins and walks and house sitting for dogs only. If I meet your pet and they are a good fit, I would be open to having them stay in my home with my pet and I.
