Dog Walkers in Keats, KS

“I depend on Sarah for Daisy's mid-day walks. She's terrific. I know I can depend on her, she's flexible and does a great job of staying in touch.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from tiny Rat Terriers to energetic bird dogs and large breeds like Huskies and German Shepherds. Growing up, my family always had dogs in the home, and each one had a unique personality. I especially have a soft spot for German Shepherds thanks to my grandma’s sweet pup who I used to explore the woods with, always making me feel safe and protected. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including friends’ pets while they were away. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I always make sure to provide a safe, respectful environment and keep dogs separated if needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable and happy. When caring for others’ pets I treat them like my own. I can cuddle on the couch with them or take them on a run(or maybe a light jog lol). While you’re away my goal is to make them comfortable enough that they forget you’re not there and for you to feel relaxed knowing they’re being well taken care of. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. During the school year I typically have open availability from 8:30-2:30, and with advanced notice I can be available after 4pm. I always open/close the doors carefully to avoid any escapees, and leash any pups that go outside in an unfenced area. Typically I will also remove collars and toys before crating to avoid a choking hazard unless otherwise requested. When feeding dogs with food aggression I either feed them at separate times/areas. If you have waste bags or a scooper I will also help keep your yard clean while you’re away. Before booking a service with me, I am also available for meet and greets to make sure your friend is comfortable

“Katharine did an excellent job walking my dog. She provided a detailed report of the walk. Very reliable and caring.”

About: Dogs are a constant source of surprise and reward, I will never grow tired of a dog. I have never been without a dog in my life. Even though I used to work crazy long shifts in a hospital, I always put my dog first and made sure someone else was there to take her on a playdate when I couldn't. Being busy doesn't mean one shouldn't have a dog, a companion, someone who gets you out the door, someone to cuddle with, someone who is always there when you need him. To make sure your fury friend isn't suffering under your crazy schedule, you need a caring dog sitter. Someone who plays with your dog, someone you can trust. I have not only walked my own dogs but also other's and I would like to think that I understand the basic signals of a dog, the language, so to say. No dog was ever unsatisfied in my care. After all, I chose to live with one of the most energetic dog breeds there is, my two Boxer girls Bonnie and Emma, 3 and 10 years old. I would walk the extra Mile to make your dog happy! The routine will be as close to the one they know. Add ons will only be provided if it benefits the pet’s well being. My routine will be adjusted to your pet’s routine. I care for your pet inside my house or in the garden. While outside, they will never be unsupervised. No walking off leash outside the garden. Visits to the dog parks can be arranged if the dog is well socialized with other dogs.

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs since I was a child. This includes caring for my Labrador after she was hit by a vehicle and helping nurse her back to health. If you and your pet have a routine I’ll try my best to stick to it so they can keep enjoying their happy life while you’re away. If you need assistance in helping train your dog to be better on walks I can offer that as well. I would be more than happy to send photos and updates about your dog too so you have nothing to worry about while away. Our pets deserve the best and I’m here to help with that. My daily schedule it fairly flexible as I create my own weekly schedule with my current full time job. Aside from that work and being a full time graduate student I have spare time that I’d prefer using for good like walking pets and getting moving. As long as instructions are given it’s my goal to follow those as best as I can. Before leaving I like to make sure the dogs are well taken care of and hopefully have

“Masie is a fantastic communicator. She responds quickly to text messages and is helping me figure out what is in the best interest of Molly for future walks. Molly thinks she is great!”

About: I have loved and enjoyed taking care of animals since I was a little girl, that’s why I decided to become a vet! Yes, I’m an experienced veterinarian who is completing a year of training at K-State💜 and I’m thrilled to offer my expertise in animal care in the Little Apple 🍎 I’ll be more than happy to provide company and the best care to your furry babies, so they feel loved, safe and happy while you’re away. Besides my professional experience, many friends and family members trust me with the care of their pets because they know that to me, this is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle 💖 I also have my own dear babies who I take care of everyday, can you ask for anything more in a pet sitter? I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet sitting support short-notice. Some weeks I work from home so that leaves me plenty of time to go walk, see and keep company to your dog/cat whenever, from the comfort of their own home! We can work with your schedule too and I’ll be happy to adjust according to your and your pets needs. I live with my 2 senior dogs, they’re both rescued and lovely to humans but one of them can be reactive to other animals, that’s why I only offer pet sitting services in your own home. Safety is a top priority for me. I have experience handling all sizes of dogs and cats. I can walk 2-3 dogs at a time and can take care of multiple animals at a time because that’s what I do everyday and I’m so happy and grateful for that. I have experience feeding, administering medications, and of course, even cleaning after pets. I love to take them on walks, play with them, just make them feel loved, safe and happy.

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and take great care of them. Also have dog/animal sat for many friends and family, always so fun! I am currently am a student at Kansas State, but most days my classes are over by 2 pm and I also have breaks before that. I am very good at following directions so I will follow those that you give me to a tee. I treat everyone’s house with respect and care.

About: I got my first dog when I was 6 years old. He lived until he was 15 years old. He had a hard time in the end and I had to learn how to care for a senior dog who was partially blind and deaf. I also gained valuable experience working on a farm with 6 dogs who consistently followed me around. I have a heart for dogs of all age, especially senior dogs! I am currently not working as I have healthcare licenses being processed to Kansas. I am a student who is fully online so I have more than enough free time and flexibility. Right now I am taking care of my cat and kitten! I am all about cleanliness. I believe that having a clean pet environment can make the biggest difference for not only the owner, but the pet! I will work hard to keep your pet happy, healthy, and clean! I also believe that no pet ever gets enough playtime. My kitten is a ball of energy so I am a pro at playtime. My cats sleep through the night every night because they play practically all day!

About: I have been independently caring for dogs of all sizes for years! Mostly for family friends! I absolutely love animals and would love to get the opportunity to take care of yours! I have experience with cats as well! It’s my priority to make sure your pets (let’s be real they’re family) feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away!! I would prefer to watch your animals in your home so I can best follow your animals’ routine! I am currently a nanny so I have lots of time during the day where I can stop by to let animals outside, play with them, and do whatever else you need! BONUS: if you are comfortable- my nanny kids LOVE animals so extra playmates for your furry friends! I work from 8-3:30 so I could spend the majority of the evening with your animals as well! I am a very thorough sitter, so I will be sure to follow all instructions to a T! Your home will be left in the exact state I found it and your animals are sure to be happy and probably tired!

“Jessi does an awesome job walking my pups while I’m at work. She is very dependable and goes above and beyond her normal duties. My pups look forward to seeing her each day!”

About: I grew up with pets, and have cared for my friends and neighbors pets over the years! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I have also cared for other pets like hedgehogs, chickens and snakes! I recently moved to the area and I'm currently taking a sabbatical from my full time job. I have lots of availability! I am available for drop ins and mid day potty/play breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own! I always send pictures to update you throughout my time with your pets. You can trust that they will receive plenty of playtime, affection and cuddles while you are away! Comfortable and familiar with dietary needs, medical needs such as medication administration, or special training you prefer to use.

About: I truly love animals and pets and would own every cat I’ve ever seen if I could. I volunteer for Purple Paws and have two cats and one gecko of my own. Over my adult life, I’ve had lots of experience pet sitting for my friends and family. This has included taking care of newborn puppies, letting dogs out, taking dogs for walks, and checking in on cats. I will make sure to give your animals all the love and attention they truly deserve. I currently work full-time from home. I get an hour lunch break everyday and typically wrap my workday around 4:00pm. This leaves me plenty of time to help out during my lunch break, after work, and I could even pop by sometime during my work hours if I don’t have a meeting. My cats at home get treated like royalty. We feed them twice a day and make sure they have plenty of water. We often offer treats to reward good behavior. Our cats get played with and they get to come out on the balcony with us. They are allowed on all furniture, except for the tables and kitchen counter. When I watch other people’s animals, I make sure the animals get their basic needs and more! I love getting to spend some time providing their animals with love and getting to play.

About: Animals are my whole life and enriching theirs is my passion! Aside from owning my own pets (currently two dogs, three cats, and a handful of ducks) I have extensive experience with all walks of animals. As a kid I watched neighbors' pets (including horses), worked in a boarding kennel and veterinary clinic through highschool (which often invovled medicine administration, shots and pills), fostered dogs through college (that's how I ended up meeting my big dog Gunner!), and now working as a wildlife biologist where I need to safely handle all kinds of animals. All of my experiences (including my own dogs' quirks) have also taught me how to keep pets safe and happy the best we can with the predispositions they come with (escape artists, postal man haters, aggression towards other dogs, nerves during storms...). I want to help your pet have a full and healthy life and will treat them just as I do my own. I currently take my younger dog for long runs and fast walks to keep him calm and fulfilled. I do multiple sloooooww, gentle walks with my older dog for him to just enjoy being outside for a bit and sniff things. For both of them, I do short training sessions each day with the basics (sit, stay, come, heel, laydown) to keep them enriched and structured. All of these things take time during the day and I am here to help you with whatever your pets need! I'm currently back to school at K-State for graduate studies, so aside from my main meetings and classes that are on mid-day Mondays and the bulk of Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day, I can be flexible with any timing you need. I am not currently offering boarding services in my house for the safety and sanity of my own many pets. However, if you would like for me to check on and exercise your pet multiple times throughout the day in your home while you are away I am available to do so! I care for my own pets with a lot of patience and understanding but can be firm with them if they are doing something that puts their safety at risk (i.e. eating an unknown item, trying to escape, leashing pulling towards a dangerous situation). I will ask questions and listen to what your pet needs to make the experience be exactly what they need.

About: I am an aspiring veterinarian, and I started in the field when I was 16. I love any chance I can get to take care of animals! I graduated with my B.S. in Animal Biology in May 2025. Now I am working on my Masters in Veterinary Biomedical Science! I am passionate about animal care, and I aspire to go to vet school. I don’t have the capability to have other pets over to my house, but I will care for yours to whatever specification you may have!

About: We had both dogs and cats when I was a kid, and I had a dog for ~9 years after college as well. When kids came along, pet ownership stopped. We started pet-sitting for friends during the pandemic, and that's continued successfully. I'd like to help more people, and I'm sure my daughters will pitch in, too, if owners are amenable! I work from home, so I typically have latitude in my schedule. The kids get on the bus at 8:15am and off the bus at 3:15pm. Otherwise, weekdays are flexible. I'm a neighbor - living in Manhattan- as well as a reliable, trustworthy, and church-going spouse and parent. I have securely and respectfully watched dogs within the owner's home several times. Our preference would be that any dog we cared for in our home be kennel trained. I work part time from home so I have lots of time for potty breaks and walks. My four daughters will spoil your pet too! We have plenty of space in the house and sidewalks on the streets in our neighborhood. I am also available to come to your house and feed/walk/and love on your babies.

About: I have taken care of family pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, flying squirrels and chameleons. I have 2 spare rooms just for boarding animals. I am currently working a part time job, so the pets would have my full attention for the majority of the day and night times. The pets will have their own room to occupy while they are in my care. They will be able to sleep in that room and they will have ample opportunity to walk around outside on a leash. They will get plenty of exercise and food and water regularly. I will only be away from them for a few hours a day while I’m at my part time job in the evenings.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Everything from horses, rabbits, dogs or cats. I am comfortable with large animals, as I grew up raising them. My love and experience with animals has led us to start my own business alongside my sister. Our pet sitting business has taken off and spread thoughout the county we served. We have taken care of over 150 different pets of all shapes and sizes. This past summer I was awarded State Star in Agribusiness for the quality of care that we serve our clients with and how well the business is ran. Now that I am college I am looking to serve in the Manhattan community with the same quality of pet care. I have taken multiple vet classes and interned in highly regarded vet clinics. This has helped me to back up the previous knowledge I had. At K-State I am minoring in Animal Science where my knowledge is constantly evolving. Please reach out, I would love to see if I would be a good fit for you and your family! As a college student I am able to work around different schedules to make ensure your pet is getting the quality care they need. I have breaks in between classes to do drop in visits. My classes do not start before 9 and are done before 2. I will be able to complete drop-in visits multiple times a day if needed. Housesitting is something I am extremely comfortable with. Please reach out, I would love to make something work for you! I am very experienced with working for all sorts of animals. I have always been worked with large animals and house hold pets and owned my own pet sitting business. We understand the importance of pets in families and would do nothing but provide the best care possible for your animal.
