Caring, reliable dog walker!

Pet care experience

I have several years experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I'm comfortable with multiple dogs at once and available for individual walks, overnights and extended stays. I can also help with the administration of medicine, bathing and other miscellaneous household or careaking task. I'm also happy to run errands, pick up mail or any other random task you may need during walks. Looking forward to meeting you and your pups!

I had Horace house sit, and he is great with my dog and cat. My dog requires a lot of medications and special diet and Horace was able to administer all without issue! Everyone was happy, and apartment was well-cared for. 5/5 will hire again.

Horace helped me out in a pinch. I had surgery and my husband wasn’t able to get home on time and he walked Kepler on an hour’s notice. My pup took to him instantly. Kepler looks forward to walks with him again.

Horace was great with both our dog and our cat, able to handle our big Shepherd mix and administer medicine to our finicky cat. Thank you!
