Dog Walking Horton

About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

“Misti is absolutely amazing!! She has been taking him for regular walks for about a month and she always takes such good care of him. It is so nice to not have to worry about my dog when I’m gone! I absolutely recommend!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life from the scales to the fur. I’m an elementary school teacher and watching pets on the side helps me do both the things I love. I’m off for the summer so I have allthe time to devote to the animals. We’re either chilling at home or off having fun at the lake or trails. I have a large fenced yard in Roseville. All dog friendly plants and terrain. We have a bedroom that’s just for our dogs with their bed and toys but they have the run of the house.

“Chelsea is amazing, always on time, always so happy to see Charlie and the feeling is mutual! We are so happy we found her!! And so is Charlie! 🐾”

“Alisa is so kind! And I really appreciate how quickly she responds :) She took both my dogs on a thirty minute walk and the dogs loved her. I will definitely be having her walk my dogs again in the future.”

About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!

About: Hello! My name is Kaylee. I’ve been taking care of animals most of my life. From cats and dogs to farm animals and reptiles! I have experience with animals of all ages as well. So no matter the youth or the more wise of the animal I am able to provide the care needed. When caring for your animals I always treat them like I would my own. I’m here for your pets, to ensure their health, happiness and safety as that’s my top priority. I absolutely love rover and the experiences I’ve had so far with the variety of animals and kind owners. I am available daily, weekly, monthly for your pet and I try to be sure I am available most holidays as I know it’s hard to leave your pets during those times. I work full time to be sure you will know your pets are in safe hands while you’re away. When booking with me, I provide care for your pets whether you have one or multiple furry friends. I provide a loving and caring space and try and make it the most comfortable and stress free for them. I look forward to meeting you and your pets in the future! Caring for pets will always be a top priority for me as I know the stress of finding someone to trust with you babies and knowing they are taken care of. When pet sitting I be sure to put your animal first. In my home I treat your animal as I would my own. With the love and care as well. I have a fenced back yard with tons of space for activities. I have a large kennel if needed. Open water feed and free range of toys and animal beds! Treats when allowed by parents. Walks when needed. Tons of cuddles. No table scraps. I adjust as well as I can to make this feel like a safe space.

“Congxiao (Jennifer) and her daughter (Samantha) took care of our two small dogs over a long weekend and did an amazing job! I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them for both care and dog walking.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs of all personalities, from easygoing labs to high energy, sometimes anxious heelers. That taught me early on how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and build trust with pets at their own pace! In college, I started out studying pre vet before following my passion into wildlife biology, and I’ll be starting grad school this fall studying ecology and evolution with a focus on wildlife. I also spent a summer working with a nonprofit dog rescue in Houston, Texas, helping save dogs from the streets and from kill shelters. It was hands on and sometimes challenging, but really rewarding. I helped with medications, cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, and made sure each one felt safe and cared for. I truly believe every animal is special and deserves patience, understanding, and a little extra love. I’ve always found it easy to connect with animals, and I love seeing even shy or anxious pets start to relax and show their personality. Right now I’m saving up for grad school, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than being around animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own! I currently have Wednesday's and Thursday's off. I am free all day to take your pups on a mid day walk or keep them company while you are out of town! The rest of my week I work from 9:00-6:00 so my availability is more limited. I live on acreage in the Veneta area. Our property is mostly fenced and includes an orchard, a creek, and plenty of space for play and adventure! I have one pup of my own who absolutely loves other dogs. He’s a medium-sized herding dog who would be thrilled to show a new friend around the property. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always strive to be a respectful and gracious guest. I’m a very tidy, thoughtful person and take great care to leave your home exactly as you left it, if not better! I believe it’s incredibly valuable for animals to remain in an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals and believe that a calm, warm demeanor, along with a consistent routine, is key to making sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

About: Hi! You can call me Bee, and my whole life I have been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. In my youth I helped my Mom with overnight pet sitting. As an adult I spent 2 years in management with Petco where I was intimately involved in all the areas of animal care including administering medication and dog bathing. Additionally, I have many years of experience with caring for my own pets as well as helping my friends and family with their pets. I work as an independent contractor and can adjust my schedule around all of your pet's needs. I value making your pet feel at home and loved during their entire stay. My family lives in an adorable farmhouse and we would love to have your fur baby come stay with us for a unique experience enjoying the natural environment we have available right outside our doorstep. Your loved one will be treated as one of our own alongside my 12 year old cat, 8 month old kitten, and a 3 year old Iguana (who has his own enclosure). Your pet will also enjoy the smells of farm animals that stay on the property, including sheep and horses. You can trust that your pet will have all of their needs met no matter how much or how little adventure they can handle while staying with us. Dedicated areas can be blocked or fenced of to accommodate all of your pets needs depending on their level of socialization. Private one on one time including bathing and walks can be arranged or play with friendly neighbor dogs who frequent the property can be arranged as well if that is something your pet would benefit from. We maintain a clean and calm environment inside of our home with a warm wood stove they can lay by and large windows they can watch the various wildlife from; again providing as much or as little socialization as they need. If I will be visiting your home for walks or overnight sitting I would spend some time observing their behaviors and understanding their areas and what they like. In any situation your pet will recieve all of the love and belly rubs they want and need. We can't wait to meet you!

I specialize in making dogs feel comfortable and safe when their owners are away, providing frequent updates and photos so you can have total peace of mind. I treat every dog I sit for with the same love and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite helper! I am also an experienced dog bather I can provide nail trims, shave paw pads, shave sanitary areas, express anal glands and give your pup a deep clean bath. I have an experience with photography and would to provide high quality photos of your fur babies you can book additional sessions with me privately.

About: Since childhood I have been caretakers to dogs, cats, hamsters and even fish. I even saved my parents cats life using a cpr technique used on infants. I have been a door dash driver for years as it easily fits into my lifestyle, recently adding grub hub and instacart to my resume. This will fit perfectly into my schedule. I live on property with my family on about an acre of fenced yard very dog friendly. I let my dog have free reign of the property. I would care for your animal as you specify and with great attention to detail.

About: I’ve looked after my Golden retriever, Sarah, for years till she died and then we got a Shih-Tzu and a chihuahua mix, Remy and Layla. So I can take care of any dog big or small I’m currently a DoorDasher and so anytime 8-5 during the work week will work. My weekends alternate so make an appointment a week in advance please! Thank you! I love being with dogs and so as long as I’m with your dog I will ensure they have enough food/water, play and bathroom time. I also perform Reiki, a form of energy healing on pets.

About: I provide reliable, in-home pet care focused on consistency, safety, and following each pet’s established routine. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments, including rescues, seniors, and high-maintenance pets. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and environmental safety, and I adjust my approach based on the individual animal rather than using a one-size-fits-all style. I’m comfortable administering medications, adhering to strict care instructions, and maintaining routines so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule intentionally to allow for dependable drop-ins, walks, and in-home visits, with flexibility to accommodate regular check-ins, travel schedules, and repeat clients. I provide care exclusively in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and communicate clearly with owners to ensure trust and consistency.

“Zoey always has such a great time and is always super excited when she sees Louise. Thanks so much for walking her in the rain and on short notice!”

About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.

About: I have had my own animal since I was 8 years old and recently have gotten a new fur baby to add to the family. I am working full time but with my hours I am always home in between to let them go outside to potty and to walk then and to add some playing time. I always go outside with them even in a closed yard just to get fresh air and run around and play ball, really enjoy being active and dogs or any animals love being active.

I do long term house sitting as well as short term. I would say that my passion for cleanliness, punctuality, loving animals is what really drives me to create the best care and experience for you. My goal is to provide a safe and fun experience for your friend and home. Hope to hear from you and I can’t wait to meet your friend! Im currently self employed so I have a flexible schedule! I’m able to meet the needs of clients and make changes day of if things change last minute. I provide care by keeping a very tidy space and schedule. I want to make sure their needs are met in every way that I can. Such as fresh water, in a cleaned bowl. Imagine using the same water glass for yourself for long periods of time. Making sure meal times are exact so as to not mess up their schedules.
