Dog Walkers in Kanwaka, KS

About: Myself and my fiance, Alex, are certified animal enthusiasts! We both grew up with both dogs and cats, and now have two kitties of our own that we adore! When you book with us, you are not only guaranteed my excellent care, but Alex will provide double the attention and love when he is not in class. Alex is pursing a doctorate in physical therapy and I am pursing a PhD in atmospheric science. I, however, have the summer completely off from classes and will be available essentially anytime to love on your pets and Alex will join me the majority of the time! We love going on walks and would love for your pets to accompany us anytime! We are also available for in-home visits! And we promise to not just pop in and out, but to spend quality time with your fur babies! During the school year, we may have some availability during the week, but more so on the weekends! During the summer, I will be available essentially anytime! I do have a more flexible schedule next school year (Fall 2026) and will be able to do more weekdays as well. We will come to your home and treat both it and your pets like our own! We can provide visits for potty breaks multiple times per day, would love to take your dogs (or kitties) on walks, and just spend time loving on them. Additionally, I would be happy to take care of any plants or any necessary household duties while you’re away!

“Sierra was awesome and Bentley seemed to have a great time with her! Would definitely recommend her, as my puppy is definitely not the best walker!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, starting with fostering puppies through senior dogs. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and basic care like feeding, walks, and medications. My neighbors trust me to watch their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cherished. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and well-being. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, especially mornings and evenings. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and responsibilities, so I focus on patience and making them feel safe.

“I was a brand new customer for Rover, not knowing exactly what I was doing, and Petra responded before I booked and answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable for having someone I’ve never met. Take care of these dogs twice a day. I met her the evening before and then she consistently showed up on time modified her schedule as needed, and the dogs were well taken care of and loved going on the walks. If you’re new to river, Petra is an excellent choice !!”

“Did you pull in our trash containers? If you did, wow that’s something I never get any help with. Brella was happier today when I returned, more so than being just potties by someone. I think it helped her to go for a walk! Thank you”

I enjoy spending quality time with the pets I care for, by sitting with them, playing ball or throwing a toy for fetch.

Each dog has taught me something unique, and I cherish the bond we have/created. ❤️ Fostering Experience: I’ve also had the rewarding experience of being a foster mom for a dog rescue.

About: I've had dogs my entirely life and I can confidently say they are my favorite animal. Throughout my life I have been heavily involved with different types of animal care, such as volunteering at the humane society and pet sitting for friends and family. I have experience taking care of dogs with various illnesses, and I have also cared for and had puppies. My favorite part about pet care is being able to spend time with and bond with a variety of animals and make them feel as safe and secure as possible while their owners are away. I hope you are able to consider me for watching your pet, I would love to do so! Pet care works great with my routine and schedule. I currently work remotely with other occasional gig jobs, so being stuck at a 9-5 will not get in the way of any pet care services. Meeting your pets where they are is very important to me. Whether they have had a bunch of sitters, or I am their first one, I will make sure to make them as happy and comfortable as I can. Enrichment for animals Is something I view as a high priority, so making time for plenty of walks and play will be a large focus of mine. On top of that, I would love to have housesitting be an opportunity to bond with your animals. As I do not currently have any pets, I really cherish any time I can spend with them and will ensure they are as loved as can be !

About: I have grew up with dogs all my life, love animals, and am currently a pre law major at Washburn. I have worked at an animal shelter for over a year, caring for cats and dogs there, and volunteered there for several summers. I am used to dogs of all sizes, and especially love big dogs! I am a student who works part time, so I can spend the night and do two walks a day as needed. Can also just do walks or drop in visits! Will always make sure your prts are taken care of. Leash on at all times if outside, and make sure no outside doors are open too long.

“Perfect and great review of walk!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats and currently have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life. I currently work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job includes supervising playgroups, feeding, giving medications, monitoring behavior, and making sure every dog is safe and happy. Working with so many different dogs has taught me how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats. Whether your cat is outgoing and social or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and stress free while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be attending JCCC this fall to start my pre-veterinary studies. My goal is to become a veterinarian, so caring for animals isn’t just a job for me it’s something I’m truly passionate about! My boyfriend, Cameron, accompanies me on pet sitting visits. If you’d prefer I come alone, that’s absolutely fine! I’m always happy to do whatever makes you most comfortable. When we do meet in greets- I can bring him along! I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I do my best to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, an experienced, reliable pet caregiver and lifelong animal lover. My son and I recently said goodbye to our beloved dog of 12 years, and while we aren’t quite ready to welcome a new pet of our own, we deeply enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach—meeting each dog where they are and offering just-right levels of activity, enrichment, and rest based on their needs, age, and energy. I prioritize safety, routines, clear communication, and plenty of affection, including snuggles and relaxed indoor downtime. My 10-year-old son is kind, gentle, and very respectful with animals, and he especially loves quiet companionship and playtime (always supervised). Your pet will be treated like a valued family member, and you can expect dependable care, thoughtful attention, and regular updates while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, play, and check-ins, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends, to match your pet’s routine. Pets are always supervised in a calm, clean home. I follow routines, respect boundaries, involve my gentle, animal-savvy child appropriately, and communicate clearly with owners.
