Dog Walking Orrock

About: My pitbull Bella brings endless joy to my every day. Knowing other pet owners feel the same about their furry companions, I take the responsibility of treating someone else's pet with the same care I would give my own. My life with Bella has given me experiences with dogs that may need a little extra care (understanding heat sensitivity, aging dog issues and supplements or medications). On the opposite side of that, higher energy dogs that may need a brisk walk or run are no issue. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and will also do cat drop in visits if needed.. For drop in visits, I am able to feed and provide medications if needed. I can provide early morning and after work evening care on weekdays and am more flexible on time for weekends. I work full-time, but am almost completely remote. Pre-planned drop ins for dogs or cats and dog walks during the week can be worked into my fairly flexible schedule. Walks and pet care is done at my client's home. I'll be sure to provide your pet the interaction it needs while you are away.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I have three goldendoodles, Sullie who’s 10, Allie who’s 5, and Marlie who’s 2. I have helped potty train them all and have taught them basic tricks. I have also cared for friends/families pets when in need. I love all animals and enjoy making them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to help. I’m currently a full-time nursing student and have a summer nurse internship working 12 hour shifts, but I have multiple days off throughout the week that allow me to spend quality time caring for pets. My schedule varies, so I keep my availability updated. When I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and dependable care! I always try to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. In your home, I will provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well!

“We absolutely love Lauren, she always goes above and beyond when she spends time with Ranger. He gets so excited to see her.”

“Karlee showed up right on time each day and followed directions great! I was very anxious to leave my pup and she was super understanding and patient as I over explained everything! Great job!”

About: Hi! I'm Kelsey, a homeschooling mom to two boys, and caring for dogs has been a huge part of my life for years. Before caring for dogs full-time from home, I spent many years as an assistant manager at a large dog daycare and boarding facility. That experience taught me so much about dog behavior, different temperaments, and what dogs need to feel comfortable in a busy environment. But it also helped me discover a dream of my own. I wanted to create something different: a place that truly feels like a home away from home, where dogs are cared for as individuals rather than expected to fit into one particular environment or routine. I'm now building that dream into reality, one step at a time. Pet care is my full-time job, and this is something I'm genuinely passionate about. I put my whole heart into making sure every dog in my care feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My hope is that when you leave your dog with me, you can feel good knowing they're spending their time with someone who truly cares about them. Pet care is my full-time job, and I'm home throughout the day while homeschooling my boys. I'm able to provide attention and supervision throughout the day, with time for outdoor breaks, meals, activity, and rest. I aim to keep a consistent routine while remaining flexible to accommodate each dog's individual schedule and needs. I want dogs staying with me to feel comfortable being themselves. I have 2.5 acres to explore, including a large fenced in area for running, playing, sniffing, and enjoying the outdoors. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, there's no pressure to keep up with the more playful pups. I take compatibility seriously and consider each dog's comfort when deciding how they spend their time around other animals. Some dogs love having playmates, while others are happier with their own space and more human companionship. Both are perfectly okay here. I'm also working on a dedicated dog room and play space in my garage that I plan to make climate controlled, with individual kennels for feeding and rest. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where dogs can enjoy their time, have their own space when they need it, and settle in at their own pace.

About: Hello! I’m a dog lover and behavior-focused pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to spend their time being themselves, feeling comfortable, and having fun! 🐶 3+ years of professional experience working with dogs in daycare & boarding settings 🏡 Experienced with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. 🐾 I have dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog is an individual and should be treated like family 🧠 Currently studying dog behavior and training and always learning more 👀 Strong understanding of canine body language and behavior, including recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, excitement, and relaxation 💕 I let your dog lead the way — whether they want to play, sniff, explore, cuddle, relax, or simply have some quiet time 🌿 I believe dogs should have choices whenever safely possible rather than being pushed into activities they aren’t comfortable with 🚫 Fear, pain, and intimidation have no place in my care. I use gentle, positive, and respectful handling with every pet My goal is simple: your dog gets to have a staycation that feels like it was made just for them. 🐾 I’m an online student and a freelancer, so I make my own schedule and I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friend! No need to worry about any schedule restrictions. Safety & well-being always come first — I closely monitor your dog, make sure their physical and emotional needs are met, and give them choices while keeping their safety a priority. I follow any and all instructions to a T and will always keep a close eye on your fur baby.

About: My partner and I will work together to provide the best services to other pet parents as we can! By having us as a team support one another, we're able to help more pet parents with their needs! 😊 Cassie: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. When I bought my first house in 2019, I adopted a senior dog who was scheduled to be euthanized simply because her owner passed away and nobody else could take her. She inspired me to want to take care of senior babies who may have additional needs not everybody can manage. I have experience administering oral and topical medication (no needles) for both dogs and cats. Justin: I’ve had at least one dog in my life from the day I was born. From very social Springer Spaniels, to very shy Australian Shepards to our current Lab Gus and Eskie Sue. I’m capable of administering oral and topical medication for both dogs and cats. I’m also very good creating a safe and comfortable environment for all cats and dogs and am happy to meet your animals before appointments to gain their trust. Since there's two of us, we do our best to flex schedules to make things work. Cassie works from home full-time and Justin has a hybrid schedule working 3 days in office and 2 days from home. Cassie has a strong attention to detail, so we will follow instructions closely to ensure the safety of all parties involved. We both have experience with dogs and cats, so we know to be careful to avoid any potential issues.

About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.

“Janneke is great with Leo. She gives him a great walk and when the weather doesn’t cooperate she will play with him inside and still give him a potty break. She’s very dependable!”

About: I’ve had an affinity towards the natural world especially animals. One of my mentors who is a wildlife educator and animal handler of over 30 years always tells me, “Mo, no matter what animal I put in front of you, they all want to play with you!” I am a certified vet tech assistant through the Florida veterinary medical association as of July 2011. I love working with animals, it’s my Ikigai! I work in sustainable real estate and start my day caring for my animals that I have rescued and am fostering. I have flexibility throughout my day between meetings and events to take care and hang out with your animals and give them some love. I understand behavior and will take safety precautions when walking and caring for the many animals I am entrusted to care for as they were my own.

“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog as I always knew she was in good hands. Thank you Joseph!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

About: I am a full time overnight sitter and walker. Additionally I am Fear Free Certified in Dog Daycare Handling. I have 13 years I spent at the first Daycare/Boarding facilities in MN to become Fear Free certified. I have 9 years in overnight care, to which my clients have become like family. I am constantly educating myself on how to provide the best care for our pets. Outside of work, I am my friends' go-to pet sitter. It's an ongoing joke that I am never alone. Many clients pets have become deeply a part of my friends lives as well. In 2025 I left the daycare, and have been putting all my time into working for myself as a dog walker. My focus is with off leash, fenced in hikes. I’ve also partnered with a local organization called Canine Inspired Change. They train you and your dog to do therapy dog work. They lend me their training space so that I can have my own mini daycare playtime. It has toys, puzzles, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to enjoy. I pick up and drop off, taking no more than 5 dogs. This way I can ensure safety, and attention to everyone. I also have a passion for pet nutrition. I pride myself on being an extremely accommodating person. Very go with the flow! I have experienced a lot wild situations in my line of work, and I feel I am prepared, and knowledgeable in handling all types of emergencies and situations. Even if they are related to not just your dog, but your home. I am also very excited to have completed a Therapy Dog course at Canine Inspired Change with one of my clients dogs! I am excited to be doing therapy dog work with her. After losing my dog of 17 years in 2025, I decided to quit my job and focus on dog care full time. I spend my days taking 1-5 dogs out on fun excursions! We will rent Sniff Spots, go on long leash adventure hikes, backyard play dates with friends, or enjoy indoor playtime at a local training facility that lends me their playroom space. Your dog will have 24/7 care with me, and enjoy all the perks that my mini daycare dogs do. If I stay at your house, I will stay there overnight to make sure I can accommodate all the dogs needs. I can handle any special needs, or medications required.
