Dog Walkers in Aikman, KS

About: By age six I was helping care for my family's animals both on the farm and in the home. It was instilled in me that pets and farm animals were to be fed and cared for before anyone else. From tending to horses, poneys, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese to more domesticated animals such a dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and rodents - I have never lived one day without an animal by my side. I have passed down a love and respect for all wildlife and nature to my children. I would be honored to care for your pet and treat it as if it were my own. I'm currently the pet parent to a 15-pound cat and two dogs - a pit / lab mix that I rescued and a miniature aussie. I'm a widow who, until recently, cared for my late mother who suffered from Dementia. As such, I know first hand how therapeutic animals can be. I'm retired with two adult children and no grandchildren yet - so I can't think of a better way to fill my day than to care for your pet while you're away! I live in a rural setting in Butler County, KS. My animals are fed well and provided fresh water daily. I do not shy away from litter maintenance and am comfortable administering medications or following any health or safety protocols set by the pet owners. I have a degree in education and used to operate my own in-home childcare business. As such, I have a long history of families trusting with both their children and their fur babies!

About: I have always loved animals. Ever since I was a little one I have always had an animal to keep me company. When I was an adolescent I start a pet sitting service in my hometown. I love love to start that up again now. We have two dog; Jack and Piper. They are both very friendly dogs, when enjoy playing, cuddling, and eating together. There are two cats Tiny, and Toad. Our caged pet is a bunny named Buddy. Buddy gets along with cats and dogs as well. I am a stay at home dog mom. So I can spend all of my time bring comfort to your little loved ones. You can trust that with us, your babies will be our babies. Thank you for reading.

About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have 5 dogs of my own. I will take all dogs!! I love puppies, and special needs dogs the most! I can teach new tricks as well! I actually taught one of my dogs how to smile. I am not afraid to give baths or feed them. I am not worried about any breed what so ever. I am currently not working. I am a single mom so I do take my daughter to school. But I am available to take care of your pets plus my own. I am an online college student so I can do homework anywhere. My dogs are out and about all day while I am home and are kennel trained while I am away from the house for longer than an hour. I will care for your animals just like I do mine. They will be loved and played with sooo much as I have energy for days. I love to play fetch, tug of war, etc. My dogs have a six foot privacy so they can go outside whenever they want.

About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃‍♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).

About: Love animals would have every breed of dog if I could. Can help with all pets needs. I have dogs, cats fish and in the past a few amphibians. I currently am not working and looking to help others who need trusted pet care. My passion is working with animals. I offer just about all services you could need. Very flexible and open. I am looking forward to helping you with your pets 🙂 I would care for every animal as my own. I am open to offering anything needed to make you feel comfortable when leaving your beloved pet(s) with me.

“With my schedule being busy my foster pup needed someone to take him out in some adventures. He loves walks so wanted to try a dog walker. Bruce did great with Essence and really enjoyed going for a walk with her. Definitely going to continue booking Bruce to help get his exercise. Recommend Essence for sure! She did amazing with Bruce! She kept us updated and she took pictures of him! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have had pets since I was a young child. I have always been the volunteer to take care of friends and family’s pets whenever they needed care. My family and I do have fur babies of our own and we take training and care seriously. We believe in not only nourishing their bodies, but their minds and spirits as well! Enrichment toys and activities are in abundance. I work from home and have ample time to care for your fur kiddos. We have a large fenced backyard for play, during the summer months we have water activities for the doggos that like to play, if you allow. We play fetch, we have tug toys for the trees, and other outdoor activities with plenty of space for running! While in my care your fur kiddo will be loved and treated like our own. I will be home to tend to their needs, will follow their care plans, and play with them to ensure their time spent in my care is the best! We have a large fenced yard with reinforced bases so they are safe to play to their hearts content!
