Dog Walkers in Galena, SD

About: My family and I have been watching puppies, dogs cats, etc.. for 5+ years and were passionate dog lovers and dedicated dog sitters who treats every pup like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or simply keeping your furry friend company while you're away, we’re here to provide loving care and attention. With years of experience around dogs of all sizes and personalities, I understand that each one is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs! Reliable, responsible, and always ready with treats, We WILL make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're gone. My family and I are currently a full-time pet care takers. I look after pets full time. I am always available during the day during the weekdays and weekends. We currently have a fenced in backyard with a little furry friend to keep your pups company! She is a sweet heart and loves to play with other dogs.

“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. :)”

About: I have been a pet-owner since I was ten years old. I used to do campground pet care from age 10-13. I am pretty great at bonding with animals, getting to be their friend, and helping them get the exercise and attention they need! I love animals that come in all shapes and sizes and I am confident that I will be a great companion for your pet in any way that they need. I love to spend time in the park with my own pets, letting them splash in the creek, playing fetch, running with them, and showing them some good old-fashioned love. Our pets are too often overlooked and Rover is a great opportunity to for your pet to get some love too! I’m currently pursuing my online degree in Recreational Tourism Management and using River as an opportunity to make money on the side! My schedule is virtually open! I have 2 cats of my own, and a family dog—a doberman—so boarding in my own home isn’t terribly ideal for me. I am however very flexible with coming to clients’ homes and giving their pets all the attention they need!

About: Hello, my name is Sheldon and I grew up in The Black Hills, South Dakota, with my dog and best friend, Duke! We had the best of times adventuring through the ponderosa pines of the forests, scaling its mountains, hiking it’s trails, kayaking it’s waters, playing, swimming, EATING and just having fun as brothers do! Moving away.. far away to attended college, I haven’t seen Duke in over three years. I miss those times and would love to make new relationships with your pups! I understand that pets are much more than just animals, they are family and should be treated as such, with patience and love! I have experience walking, sitting and boarding dogs with some knowledge on training! Im very excited to meet your puppers! During the winter season I am available at all times. My primary work is seasonal and takes place in the summer as a fisherman in Alaska. When I care for pets at a clients home I treat the pet as if it were my own family and I treat the house as it were my own home. In other words, I practice respect.

About: I've been taking care of all things with 4 legs for over 20. I deeply enjoy the simple joy's of dogs. Hoping to find joy in a job involving something I already love doing. I'm currently working from home an have a ton of free time. Hoping to fill most of my time being outside with some furry friends. I have a cat who is use to dogs. I have friends who I go on walks with who have dogs an it would be fun to have a new dog to join in on our fun

“Tara was super helpful and amazing! Kept me updating on my pup and went above and beyond to give him attention!”

“Matilyn did a great job walking our dogs! She also let me that our female dog was showing signs of a UTI. Took her to the Vet the next day and sure enough, our dog did have a UTI! We would definitely rebook Matilyn!”

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 flexible with my schedule. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are taken care of while their owners are away. 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. :)

About: I have lived in households with pets my entire life as well as taken care of countless peoples animals while they have been busy or out of town. I go to the dog park just about every day and am well versed in how animals interact with each other and how to make them as comfortable as possible. I am back in the Black Hills until September when school starts up again for me! I am very free and would love to watch some pets of all kinds. I have my own dog and I can have them hang out or she can stay at home just as easily!! I care for all pets in my home and in others the same way, with love and respect. It’s incredibly important for the animals you are dealing with to trust you and I work to ensure that trust at all times.

About: I've owned pets all of my life from reptiles (bearded dragons and turtles), to dogs (big and small), cats of all personality types, and many different rodents (rabbits, Guinea pigs, mice). I love caring for pets and giving them whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable. I have been taking care of pets in a professional setting for 10 years and even worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years so I know how to administer many types of pet medications. I am also a certified dog trainer, so I know how to care for dogs of all energy levels and temperaments! I know that every pet has different needs and personalities and I can meet those needs! I work full time, but have spurts of time where I can stop in to care for a pet, take a dog on a walk, or spend some time cuddling with a pet. I can pick dogs up for walks at your home and take them on a local hike or a walk around the neighborhood or local park. I can stop by to let puppies (or dogs of any age) out to potty and give them some love and affection as well! I often care for cats where I stop into the home one a day or once every other day (depending on the owners preference) and make sure your cat has food, fresh water, and clean litter box. I also water house plants as needed if requested:)

About: I grew up with dogs and I currently have a black lab who lives with my husband. I’ve dog sat for friends and family throughout my life. I love to run, walk and be outside in nature. Dogs are definitely considered family to me! I am a travel nurse from South Dakota but currently live in Des Moines. I work night shift so during the day I’m around. My days are generally grouped together but letting pets out or walking are both doable! I can do overnights and watch for periods of time it will just depend on my schedule. I always want to respect the animal and let them come to me to meet and get to know me first. I love to play fetch or with whatever toys they like.

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them since I was little. I am SO PASSIONATE about dogs but our apartment building does not allow them. I would love to help out you and your family, while conveniently doing the thing I LOVE: hanging out with dogs!!! While o my 5’3”, I can definitely hold my own with bid dogs and those struggling with leash manners! I try to walk dogs at the local shelter once a week as well. I’ve never met a dog I haven’t loved!!! During the summer I have a fairly free schedule and am able to move around the responsibilities I do have to meet my needs. I go on a long walk at least once a day and would love to bring your dog along with me! I love our small town area and the country life ! I can’t bring dogs home with me but would love to take them in the car when needed and you can trust me in your home to meet the needs of your dog(s)

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.

“Jaden is wonderful. She came promptly to meet Oliver. She was familiar with the breed. She came the next day promptly and sent a message that all went well. My only regret was not being in her area to get to know her. She is so likable.”
