Dog Walking in Brookings

“Amanda is one of my best friends and I'd trust her with my dogs' lives any day! Not only is she a phenomenal dog owner herself, but she watched my two boys for over a week. She kept me well updated with photos, videos, and Facetimes when I was available. My boys had fun going on adventures with her and loved all the snuggles. When one of my boys developed a medical issue, she was quick to let me know and took him to the vet immediately. Very dependable and trustworthy to have in your home. She's very knowledgeable of dog behaviors and a sophisticated trainer for her own baby. She would love on, and take wonderful care of, any beloved pet!”

“Elle has help us care for our dogs from litters of puppies to our adult Labradors. She loves working and playing with the dogs. She has 4H dog handling, obedience, rally, and agility experience. Great person to help you care for your dogs when you need help.”

“Ella took excellent care of our dogs. I would highly recommend!!”

“Abby is always my #1 choice for a pet sitter. We have a very mature shi tzu who is very particular. She requires special food and medication. Abby always does a great job taking care of her, and I travel better knowing our pup will receive tender, thoughtful attention and the best care and love while we’re gone. Thanks Abby!”

About: Hi! I'm Leah, and I would be thrilled to be your go-to animal care provider. My heart is full of compassion for all creatures great and small, you can truly trust that your beloved pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! I'm ready to be the trusted companion for your friends. Currently, I am a senior at SDSU. I have classes from 1-2 and 3-4 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do also work Mondays from 5-9 and Tues/Thurs from 3-8. Caring for pets in their own homes involves personalized attention. Every pet is unique, so being adaptable and responsive to each pet's individual needs is key to providing exceptional care. I take this role to heart as I step into their worlds!

“Kayley has had both very loving cats and dogs as family pets, and has treated them with the utmost care and affection that a person could possibly give. She has watched my Siberian Husky Frodo many times and has never failed to send me pictures of him having an absolute blast! I know I love my pup like a child, and if you feel the same way that I do, you should have no problems trusting Kayley to care for them!”

About: Since I can remember, I’ve always been surrounded by some type of animal within my life! When I was little my family had a husky breeding business which was short lived because it was so difficult for us to see the huskies go! A few years later our family decided to get a boxer. We fell in love once again with this dog breed so much so we welcomed two more into the family! So, yes, I have great experience with dogs with high energy! Not only do we have dogs in our home, we also have a cat. I love the mellow personalities of cats! Just this past summer I went through a training program with our puppy boxer, so I do have some experience with the training process of dogs. As I enter my sophomore year of college I realize how much I missed my animals while not at home my freshman year! I am excited to meet your pet and provide them with a healthy, active lifestyle! I am available monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday mornings from 5:30 am - 7 am for daily walks. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons I am available from 1pm - 5:30pm for check ins and daily walks. Monday afternoons I am available after 2pm - 5pm for walks/check ins. I will ensure they are on a leash when not in a fenced yard. I can also make sure they are in a safe environment within the home and have no issue with putting dog in kennel if that is what client prefers.

“Jordyn is a very caring and responsible person! She will make your pet feels very loved and cared for because that’s all she knows how to do. She is organized and thoughtful and will ensure your pet gets all the attention they deserve! Jordyn is one of the most dependable people I know!”

About: I am a farm girl that has loved animals her whole life! I started working for a dog and cat breeder over 10 years ago and fell in love! I love caring and nurturing animals and I would love to love on yours! I currently am a student at SDSU and have a part time day job. I would be more than willing to stop by in the evenings, early in morning, and periodically throughout the day to care for your pet! I do not have a yard for pets to play in at my home but I can let them play in the yard of the clients home or take them for walks, etc

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was about 10, my dad is a hunter so I grew up with dogs - puppies all the way to seniors. We've had 3 litters of puppies so I have experience with the youngsters! Currently, we have 4 English Setters ranging from age 2-11. I'm currently a student athlete at SDSU so will be in the Brookings area until I graduate this coming Spring! I have availability most weekends, as well as Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. I care for pets in the way that I am affectionate, yet also know to let the pet know they aren't in charge. Otherwise, I love cuddles, playing outside, and going for walks!

“Brooke has watched my dog and four cats before and has provided great care. She makes sure feeding times are done at the right time, making sure not to over feed or under feed my animals. She also took my dog Gunner out for walks and kept him quite happy over the few days she watched him. The kitties loved having her as she got them all four playing as well. She communicates well and you can tell she really cares for animals!”

“Kamryn has taken care of our dogs multiple times while we have been out of town or busy for an extended period of time. She follows directions well in regard to their care, sends photos, and loves them as if they were her own dogs. She is active and will spend time walking them and playing with them which helps tire them out. We always know our dogs are in good hands when she cares for them!”

“Jo Anna did so good with all three of my dogs and cats! My dogs are scared of new people and it was the first time we were leaving them for more than a couple hours and she did great! She sent me pictures and videos while we were gone and my animals to this day still love her! She cared for my animals just like they were her own with nothing but love and attention! I would recommend her to anyone because she is great! ❤️”

“Becca is always my first choice to watch my pets when I'm away. She always sends updates and pictures. One of my cats is special needs and she had no issues with her special diet and needs. sometimes I get nervous leaving them but I always feel at ease knowing Becca is watching them!”

“Sawyer is one of the most caring people I know when it comes to both people & pets. I have seen her care for a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs, all the way to cows. She is so patient with all animals, responsible, kind, and upbeat. She truly loves each animal like her own. I would trust her with any of my pets, and feel anyone else can/should too!”

About: I have cared for animals longer than I can remember. I have had experience with just about any animal you can think of. I have always watching neighbors/friends animals and really enjoy doing it. My grandparents own a ranch in SD so I think that is where my love for animals started. I would be able to provide just about any cares your baby needs! I also have experience with animals of all ages including pregnant/birthing cats! I am currently a nursing student at SDSU! I'm here almost every weekend as well. I have a couple hours of class a day and just clinicals on Wednesdays. I'm super flexible during the weekends as well as most weekdays! I currently have one border collie/austrailian shepard mix but we do have a two story house so they can be separate if needed. We have a fenced in backyard and also lots of parks around our pup loves to play at!

“Peyton was very patient with our dog when she wouldn’t cooperate and communicated well. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’m an animal lover at heart! I’ve owned cats for over 25 years and have cared for them through every stage of life from kittens to seniors. I also love dogs and enjoy spending time with them.

“Morgan is the best with my puppy. She is so wonderful and caring with her. She takes great care of her when I am away. She takes Her on walks, plays with her, and goes on adventures to the dog park. Gives her tons of puppy cuddles. Would definitely recommend her to everyone.”

About: My whole family is full of animal lovers, so we have had multiple dogs and cats growing up. I have house sat and dog sat for numerous family friends throughout the years back home in WI, and while I’m at school, I would love to do the same for you! I have experience dog/cat sitting, and have also cared for horses while their owners were away. I’m currently a student athlete at (SDSU). I have a very free schedule since I am taking online classes so I will have lots of time to care for your animals! I can make mostly any day of the week work to spend time with your animal. I like to spend a lot of quality time with your pet, taking it on numerous walks, runs, or to the park. I am able to sleep over at client’s houses to make both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
