Dog Walkers in Bois d' Arc, KS

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

About: I have had dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I have experience with most animals, also including livestock and exotics. I have 7 years of veterinary medicine experience as well as 5 years of animal law enforcement experience. I can handle all sizes and all breeds. Trusted to medicate your pets and handle dogs with ‘quirks’. Drop in visits, walks, overnight stays in your home or boarding in mine! Photos are taken daily of your pet and sent to you! I am a full time veterinary assistant. I have never had a job outside of animal care, so rest assured your pet is trusted with me. Safety is a #1 priority. All pet parents will be required to provide an emergency contact and vet information. Photos are sent daily to pet parents. Dogs boarding in my home will be kept in their own space, and will not be around any other animals aside from housemates from their home. Dogs are crated overnight/when away for safety unless other arrangements are made. Cats have their own room in my home, away from all other animals. Pet parents get photos daily!

About: I have had a love for pets since I was a child. I have house/pet sat for years now and would love to expand that. I can do pet sitting, walking, baths, anything your pet needs!! I take online classes and just recently got laid off so my schedule is wide open! I would love to come hangout with your furry friends! At my house I have a 4 year old pup who loves to chill. In your home I would love to learn about what works for you and the guidelines you have, I try my best to go above and beyond when meeting those!

About: I am currently working in the Veterinary field as a Kennel technician. I take care of many different animals all day by walking, feeding, bathing, observing their health, etc! I am currently in school to get my liscence to become a veterinary nurse from Colby Community College. I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. Cats, dogs, rodents, farm animals, you name it! I own 2 cats, and a chinchilla. I currently work part time, as I am a college student, so I do have plenty of time to watch over your animals! I will hopefully be getting a full time job soon, so my hours will most likely be set to weekends within a few months. I do not offer services at my home, as I have pets myself. But I am trained in taking care of your animals to ensure that they are as stress free as possible. Having a fenced in yard would be fantastic, but if you do not have one that is fine too!

About: I’ve been in love with animals for as long as I can remember, I grew up with multiple dogs in my home along with a few cats and fish. I even bought my own dog as soon as I moved out! I currently watch my own dog, my household family pets at my dads, and my household family pets at my moms when they are out of town. I am a full time state licensed esthetician, leaving my schedule to be very flexible. I’m happy to visit your fur babies whenever is best for your schedule, whether that’s feeding, walking, or cleaning your pets while you’re at work or off on a trip. I will gladly send photos or videos updates on your fur babies. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I’m there. Again I am a full time online college student and I work a part time job maybe 3-4 days a week mostly night shifts, being 4 pm-closing time. I have family pets and both my moms household and my dad’s household that I’ve cared for when I lived in both homes and while my family is at work or away, plus I also bought my own dog when I moved out which I care for on a daily basis.

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 cared for my friends and families pets while they were away for multiple years. I have experience with grooming, feeding and walking multiple breeds of dogs. I will spend plenty of quality time with your fur baby to help keep them both mentally and physically healthy while you are away. I have a special place in my heart for cats. So if you have a kitten or adult cat that needs someone to check in on them and a little play time then I would love the opportunity to get to know them. I currently work a full time job with day shift hours. I would be able to care for your fur baby on evenings or weekends. Occasionally a couple days during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my pup to run. My daughter and I enjoy evening walks with our pup and bathing her weekly.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and have two of my own. Looking for opportunities to help others care for their animals as I have benefitted from this service in the past. I’m available on weekends to help with check ins, dog walking, or overnight stays. I’m happy to come to your home if it is more convenient for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a downstairs area for dogs to play. Also, two kiddos who love animals and always enjoy making new animal friends.

About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!

“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 been training and showing dogs for over 20 years. I also have worked and trained at a top boarding facility all through my teenage years as well as traveled with professional dog handlers learning how to properly care for all breeds of dogs. I have experience training, grooming, boarding, and working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I live in the country with room for the dogs to run and play in our large fenced in playyard. I also have a large 15 passenger van to transport dogs whenever needed. I am home during the day and have a flexible schedule and would love to help care for your sweet doggies! I am home full time with the dogs so am able to let them out anytime and care for any special needs they might have. We have individual indoor/outfoor runs and a large 6 foot fence enclosed play yard for the dogs to run and play and also separate areas for dogs that need their own space. We are state certified and make sure each dog is up to date on their vaccines for everyone's safety and well being.

About: I’ve lived with pets and taken care of my own for years. I have a careful attention to detail great for catching any issues that might come up. I also have experience giving medication to stubborn animals. I am currently home for break so I can dedicate most of my time to taking care of your pet ensuring the best experience possible. I will make sure your pet is comfortable and in a clean, safe environment. I will also ensure that they feel their boundaries are respected.

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities! I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs :) I work full time in healthcare but luckily, I have weekends off! I have lots of time to play with and get to know your pup! I have a pretty big fenced in yard along with free rome in the home! I have 2 friendly dogs for your babies to play with while they stay!

About: Our house is full of dog lovers! My husband has had pets his entire life. Our daughter's best friends are our THREE huskies. She is an aspiring Vet! Our dogs are our fur-babies. They have special places in our hearts. They are allowed on furniture and in the bed, as it should be! Have dog sit friend's dogs and they love the attention they get when staying over. We have a fenced in yard for freedom play. Your dog will get tons of attention from our family of humans and huskies! It may take a few minutes for our dogs to get a feel for each other, but they are playful and love meeting new friends!! Meet and Greet welcome before we schedule a stay, let out or walk! Our dogs get free roam of the house. They are kenneled if needed. They are usually let out after 4 hours, and at least every 4 hours there after. The dogs will always be on a leash if we go outside the house or yard. Otherwise, time will be spent in the house or in the fenced in backyard.

About: I’ve taken care of pets, especially dogs since my parents brought home my first dog when I was a little kid. I’m used to the responsibility of taking care of animals and making sure they are fed, walked and happy. I’ve also walked looked after dogs for relatives and neighbors who were away since I was a kid. I work from home on the weekdays. I work for myself as well and like to take breaks by walking around my neighborhood so it’s easy for me to find time for your pet. I’m available most the weekend as well unless something unexpected comes up. I have a one room apartment near college hill park, it’s an ideal location for dog walking, as it’s a very safe and walkable neighborhood. Being in a small space makes boarding a little difficult (which is why I charge more for it) but it is doable.

“Dalton is very responsible and has done a great job walking our dog.”

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, both my own and others and have an intense passion for caring for animals the right way! I have basic care skills, but can ensure diligence, active and engaging time spent with your animals, timely care, and commitment to following care guidelines to a T. I know what it’s like to leave your animals in the care of someone else. My personal pet sitters are accustomed to abnormally and intensely detailed printed guidelines with care instructions for my animals, so regardless of how detailed your care instructions are, I have the aptitude to follow them in their entirety plus more to the best of my abilities! I am a medical student in my first year, so I do have the ability to have more control of my schedule. I will continually update my time availability to be accurate weekly. I will not commit something that I cannot guarantee availability for! I will only be able to give care in your home due to living in an apartment complex and having animals of my own. But in caring for my own animals, I am quite neurotic in how detailed and specifically I care for them. I make sure my animals have daily mental and exercise stimulation through playing with toys, walking, and engagement with me and each other. I am adamant about giving my animals affection, and provide them meals in a timely and measured way. I brush all of my animals teeth daily, walk my dogs daily, and clean my cats litter box at least twice a day. I am very attuned to subtleties and changes in my animals behavior to ensure that they are in good health! I want to give my animals the best life and care possible just as I will do for your animals!
