About: As a senior at Emporia State studying Fisheries and Wildlife, I am making my passion for animals a career. From as early as I can remember, my family and I volunteered for the Pottawatome Humane Society. We worked with, walked, fostered, and trained all kinds of dogs from various backgrounds. Through my work at Sunset Zoo, I gained more professional training in animal handling and safety, and I continue working with and receiving education about animals at ESU. I have done pet sitting for friends and family for 4 years in Manhattan and hope to continue that work here in Lyon County! This summer (2025) I will be doing a decent amount of traveling, but the days and weeks I am in town will be highly flexible for all sitting and walking needs. I intend to provide advanced notice of when I am out of town I can provide waste bags for walks if needed and intend to communicate well with owners to ensure their dogs receive the best possible care. If your dogs are still being leash/ potty trained, I am happy to work with that too. I will always have a positive attitude when sitting or walking and will prioritize the owner's requests and the safety of the pets. I have a love for being active outdoors so high-energy dogs work great with me, but I'm always happy to care for more relaxed pups as well. Due to an allergy, I will be unable to take care of cats.

About: Hi, I’m Abby! Animals have always been a significant part of my life. I started – MyPetFriendsICT – as my very own local pet-sitting and homemade treat company in 2023 to help raise money for my competition dance team and colorguard activities, in addition to allowing me to pay my way for a nine-day educational trip to London & Paris, during my Senior year at Maize South High School. I was able to I graduated from Maize South High School in May 2025, and I am now an incoming freshman member of the ESU Marching Hornets Colorguard. I am excited to offer my pet care services that ensure your furry friends are well cared for while you are away. My affordable rates already include Rover’s fees, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before you book—making it a win-win for both of us! No care is too short, and no vacation is too long! Whether you need a quick 15-minute drop-in for a potty break, a longer 30-45-minute visit for exercise and companionship, or overnight stays, I’m here to help. With six+ years of pet sitting experience in Wichita and Sedgwick County, I look forward to continuing that service in Emporia and Lyon County while attending Emporia State University these next four years. Growing up with multiple dogs instilled a deep love for canine companionship. I also have a strong affection for other animals, including cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, and reptiles. Currently, I have three dogs aged 5 to 13, all requiring daily medications, so I understand the importance of providing extra care. I am responsible and detail-oriented. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a bit of special attention. I will provide a loving and nurturing environment for your pets, whether for a day or an extended period. Your furry friends will feel right at home with me, allowing them to stay in the comfort of their own space—there is no need for a kennel! Most importantly, I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! It's essential to maintain your pets' personalized schedules to help reduce stress and keep them safe, happy, and ready to cuddle when you return home. As a full-time student, I prioritize keeping my class and practice schedule up-to-date alongside my pet-sitting availability, ensuring you know when I’m available well in advance. I strive to be as flexible as your schedule requires. Living on campus, I genuinely enjoy taking quick breaks from my studies to care for your furry family members. Not only is it beneficial for their mental health, but it also brings me joy and relaxation! Your pet's care will always adhere to your requests and instructions! As a full-time ESU student living on campus, I can only care for your pets in your home, but I promise to leave it just as I found it. I have experience staying in clients’ homes overnight for periods of up to several weeks, always ensuring I clean up after myself and your pets. I will care for your pet and keep them as safe as you would. I’ll love them as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection and attention. Additionally, I will follow any training, diet, or other instructions you leave for me. My goal is to make your life easier while prioritizing normalcy and maintaining your pets' routines.

“Sally was great and took our pups out for several walks when we we’re out for a long day. She was super communicative and shared photos throughout the day. We look forward to seeing her again soon!”

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.

“Emily has done great with our boxer! Has stayed in our home for overnights with him and couldn't tell anyone had been there. She is very neat. She kept us updated while we were away with how Brodix was doing. Definitely very happy with her and Brodix loves her!”

About: I’ve worked in a vet clinic in a variety of positions to kennels, boarding attendant, and even vet assistanting. I’ve learned each pet as their own specific needs to being handled and taken care of. I currently work full-time at a full service vet clinic as a vet assistant. As well as a part-time online college student studying veterinary nursing and biological sciences. I like to let the owners know their companion will be treated like my own. I like taking my time to learn what the pet specifically needs and enjoys, to provide top tier care.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats all of my life. I adore both of these animals and have a great bond with them. I am fresh out of college, so I'm pretty available. This is perfect for me because I can work when I can and where I can. I feed my animals of a scheduled basis and feed them portions based on the vets recommendation. I have a gated backyard where I let my dogs play and use the restroom.

About: I have always had a pet in my home, from fish to horses and everything in between. I love animals and love taking care of them. I have had quite a few different animals now, so I have a few ideas of how to take care and entertain multiple types of animals. I also have had a diabetic pug that gets insulin shots twice a day, so I have experience taking care of a bit more difficult animal. I will offer a loving environment for your dog or cat while you are away, whether it be for the day, or for a longer period of time. I am currently in school and work but I do have open time in my day certain days to help take care of your pets! I have a fenced in yard, and I have doors in my living room and dividing floors of my house so I can separate certain animals from each other if needed!

“Haley did great with my dogs! She was punctual and my dogs loved her!”
