Dog Walkers in Custer, SD

“Kristin is very nice and accommodating. My dog immediately loved her.”

“Rosemary was amazing and Scarlett loved her. Was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure Scarlett was good. Highly recommend her.”

“Nathan is phenomenal with Billy!! He not only takes him for walks but he helps him learn tricks and shows Billy all the attention he so craves. He is a puppy so patience is necessary and Nathan definitely has that. Nathan is great with communication as well, always letting me know how Billy is doing and if he sees that maybe something is off with Billy health wise. I definitely trust him to take great care of my pup. :)”

“Mindy is very nice and very accommodating, I highly recommend her!”

About: I have house sat multiple times for the same families, which included care for both dogs and cats. One family had ill animals that needed special pills and diets, while the other had a puppy who needed walks to remain calm. I follow the instructions of the owners as best I can, and attempt to give the animals as much love and attention as I can offer. I was paid professionally to care for animals when I worked as a personal assistant for three years. I know that it can be hard work to care for animals, but I am willing to put forth the effort for them. I have had and cared for them all of my life, and I look forward to caring for yours! I work full time, but can be flexible with my lunch break. At the least, I could drop in three times a day or stay with them in the evenings. On weekends, if I am petsitting or dropping in, your pup or cat would be my highest priority and my schedule is much more flexible. Petsitting: When staying at a client's home, I keep the area tidy and try to spend more time with the pet than not. When I am not at work, I would be able to walk, play, and cuddle to their heart's content. If I have social plans, I adjust them to the pets needs so they are not left alone for too long. Dogwalking & Drop-Ins: After walking/playing with/checking on your pup, I would ensure they have adequate water and a treat, then give them some time to rest. Once I've ensured they've cooled down, I would let them out once more before topping off their water and leaving them for a nap. During the work weeks, walks would be at noon and after 5pm, but weekends are flexible.

“Kim did a great job with Sasha, arriving on time and walking her out in the Black Hills, in places that suited her temperament and needs. Also, it was helpful ti receive pictures and a report each time. Sasha was well taken care of.”

“Christina is so great with my dogs. She has a very kind and loving way about her. She does great with their odd personalities and makes sure they get what they need. Highly recommend!”

“Having an American Bully sometimes comes with a stigma and Kali is AMAZING with Dozer. She gives him lots of attention and love. I trust her with my fur baby and I know he’s going to have an amazing time when he’s with her!”

“Carissa has been amazing with my dog and more importantly my dog loves her. From the daily walks to the extra treats she knows the way to a dogs heart.”

“Hi there! My name is Grace and I’ve had Madison watch my pups a couple times and we love her! I have a pretty shy German shepherd and she warmed up to Madison so fast 🥹❤️ she’s so sweet to my puppies and cares so much for each one she takes care of🥰”

“Doreen took great care of our pup while we stayed in Wall and visited the great parks. We can't recommend her enough.”

“Tami S. Is and always has been a pet lover! She is gentle and kind and has great patience with dogs and cats… she will take especially loving care of your pets and keep them happy and safe in your absence!!! Janet R.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my home for my entire life. I am very good at interpreting what they're trying to say and what they will need. I am currently going to college for my bachelors degree. I have an evening job but am free in the mornings and afternoons. I am flexible with my schedule. I will take care of pets in the ways that the clients need them to. I do very well with written and spoken instructions and the expectations of taking care of your animals. :)

“Elan was amazing, he made our dogs comfortable enough that they just walked away with him without even looking back for us. He seems to be very good with pets and we highly recommend Elan to any one looking for a dog walker/sitter in his area. We would use his services again if we are ever back in South Dakota, thanks for your help with our pooches!”

About: I love caring for people and animals alike. Caring for and being around animals is rejuvenating to me when I need to recharge after working at the hospital. I work three, 12-hour shifts/week full time as a nurse in the hospital. My shifts are variable times and days. If you reach out to me early enough, I could potentially block days off in my hospital schedule. If you just need me to stop in and feed and/or walk your pet, I can possibly do it before, or after work depending on my shift that day. I treat others' pets as I would want mine cared for. I am calm and gentle around all animals and give them their space if they need it. I have experience in training dogs, and will encourage good behavior with exercise, gentle commands, routine and treats. If you, as the owner, are disciplining your pet a specific way, I try to continue that type of training and reinforcement in your absence. I never use a harness to walk a dog as this encourages the dog to pull and one cannot hold their focus to the discipline of being led/walked. I have experience in walking all different sizes and breeds of dogs.

“Ethan has been a great pet sitter since he was very young. He can work with many types of animals. He is responsible, reliable and fun for the pets.😁”

“I’ve known Sadye for well over a decade and she owned pets and taken great care of them and she also helped raise and train my current dog. She is great with pets and I would trust her with mine any day. She knows how to introduce pets safely and she will keep them loved and busy in her care.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Family and friends love when I come by to give their dogs attention. I also take good care of animals like how I want to be treated. Pet care can fit into my schedule I am home mostly during the day and I work on my own time. You can count on me. I love to go for walks no matter how cold it is, and I love to play with dogs or cats. I would take good care of the animals.

“Haley and Bailey were well taken care of by Bill. They loved their walks!”
