Dog Walking Lawrence

“Kyra is such a great find on Rover! She is 100% reliable and takes such good care of Rocko. He is excited to see her every time she arrives. She does a wonderful job with notes and photos as well. Kyra previously stayed with him and I was excited to find her available again. I highly recommend her.”

“Iryna was wonderful, Bo isn’t the easiest dog to work with, Iryna was patient and very professional. I will definitely request her services again! Thank you Iryna!”

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of a wide variety of animals, and have a senior husky of my own who is my family. Compassionate care and enrichment is my specialty - exploring sniff spots, play time, having a calm demeanor, and understanding animal behavior is essential to ensure they are happy and healthy! I have logged over 500+ hours as a wildlife rehabber, which includes caring for a variety of animals with different needs and diets, administering medication, and even tube feeding the young so they can eventually be placed back into their natural habitat. Originally from Topeka, I've volunteered extensively at Helping Hands Humane Society and now at the Lawrence Humane Society, spending time in the cat and dog socialization areas. Pets are our family. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is being treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I work a remote job which means I have flexibility to take care of your pet(s) throughout the day, and of course flexibility in the evenings and weekends. I am highly active and take advantage of getting steps in, and what better way to do that than with a furry friend (or two)! I currently do not offer in-home care at this time due to limited space. However, I am available to visit your home for check-ins and walks.

About: Hi! I'm Kaysin. I've grown up with dogs in my home my entire life. I've been taking care of dogs for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have experience with different sizes of dogs from Pomeranians to Great Pyrenees. I've also cared for dogs of all different personalities, routines, ages, and I'm well versed basic care-taking procedures like walking, feeding, potty-breaks, medications, and of course, playing! I'm a big dog lover, and I'll make sure your pups feel loved and treasured while you're away! I'm currently a second year student at KU with a part time job in house cleaning as well. I'm available weekdays for walks and drop-ins as needed, and most weekends for house-sitting! I'm comfortable house-sitting for both dogs and cats. I am capable of taking dogs for walks for exercise, letting them out to potty, and building trust with the more anxious pups as well! I'm willing to work with you to meet any of your dog's or cat's needs!

“Arianna is great! Very responsive with messages and clearly is a huge animal lover. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I currently have four dogs and one cat of my own, so I’ve always been around animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I get to work with all kinds of dogs. I help with playgroups, feeding, medications, and making sure everyone is safe and doing well. I’m also comfortable with cats, including cats that are a little shy or like to keep to themselves. I recently graduated high school and just started at JCCC. I’m taking my prerequisites there and hopefully will eventually transfer to K-State and continue working toward my goal of becoming a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals too and has a lot of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from a puppy and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable around both dogs and cats. I just like to let everyone know that Cameron may come with me for visits or overnight stays. We both really enjoy being around animals and will take great care of your pets while you’re away! 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. So I am able to check your pets every 4-5 hours. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. 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: I’m originally from Florida, where there certainly is a wide range of dogs to experience! I’ve always been around dogs, the one in the family and friend circle people call to drop their pets off with for any vacation, or trip they may need. I’ve done tons of volunteering but I’ve always wanted animals to essentially take up my whole life so to speak! When I moved here to Lawrence and saw how many more opportunities there was for this kind of thing I was ecstatic. I’m currently working at a daycare and boarding center where I get to spend my time taking care of animals, managing playgroups, and meeting so many sweet different pups! I would love to just keep expanding and opening up possibilities for myself to take care of and provide top level care for people’s pets! With my current job shifts are usually no more than 5-6 hours and I work in the morning a lot (getting off at about 1) so I usually have a lot of time left in the day! Sunday is my only day that I’m pretty much unavailable altogether! Other than that depending on the time frame you’re looking for a walk/check in I am more than able to work around! I have two large dogs myself so needing a large dog, a puller, or reactive pup walked is no problem for me! I love spending time with animals in any way, shape or form. So it won’t bug me if you prefer your pup walked to a specific spot every day, or if you need them checked in purely to be given a kiss and a treat at a certain time in the day! If there’s anything you’re curious of please don’t hesitate to ask! I’ve administered medicine, handled more than one dog at a time, done specialized food/care for pups, and helped out/sat in on training sessions!

About: Ive owned cats and dogs my whole life! I’ve cat and dog sat many times for neighbors and family and have been reliable and love it every time. I’m currently working part-time while also being a full-time college student. My schedule shouldn’t vary too much in weekdays until I get my schedule for my other job. I’m available after 2pm on M,W,F and from 12:30-2pm, and then again from 6-9pm on T,TH! My dog back home is a big hassle to walk, so I’ve dealt with walking calm and crazy dogs before! I’m not currently offering boarding/at my own home services, but i’m experienced in taking care of different pets in lots of people’s homes!

About: I have taken care of my family's own dogs and neighbors' dogs since I was 14. I have experience training obedience and I raised and trained my own puppy at 17. I have experience with various training methods including R+, and I have extensive experience with high energy dogs. I have a flexible schedule, so I can be there to take care of animals while you are at work or on vacation multiple times a day. All pets are beloved companions and will be cared for as my own pets. I take my responsibility in looking after your animals very seriously.

“Emma is super kind and sweet to our dog. Starts on time and ends on time -super reliable. You will do well with her.”

About: I've had a dog since I was 10 years old and caring for him has been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting last summer and quickly realized how much I loved it! I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're going on walks, playing, or just relaxing. I treat every dog like my own and I make it a priority of mine to do my best to keep them in their same routine so they can be as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and love! I'll also be sure to send plenty of photo and message updates so you know your pups are in good hands! I'm going to be attending University of Kansas this fall and my schedule is very flexible. I will only have one class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday which gives plenty of time to provide attentive care throughout the day. My weekends will also be open, making it easy to accommodate weekend bookings. I will care for your pets in their home by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I'll stick to your instructions about feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, or any other special care they may need. I want your pups to feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I will send regular photos and updates so you can be at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

“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 !!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.

“Avery is terrific. Exceeded my expectations with my first use of the Rover app. She gave very nice updates and pictures of our little dog, she played with and walked her, very happy!!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life (I’m 60) except for the last 7 years. I love loving on sweet animals. I’ve had dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, big dogs and little dogs. Love them all! I work full time but can work remotely, if necessary. Otherwise, I’m home most of the time. I have a fenced backyard that is small. My home is a single story. I could also pet sit in the pets own home so they are familiar with their surroundings. My yard is fenced and I don’t currently have any pets living in the home. Your pet would get all of my attention. I’m easy going and patient and adaptable to your pet’s needs.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including managing up to four dogs together, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable, especially when they’re away from their owners. I can handle feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and basic reinforcement of good behavior. I also understand how to stay calm in unexpected situations and make sure every pet gets individual attention, love, and care. I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their safety and happiness. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a student, and I manage my time well, so I always have dedicated hours for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m responsible, reliable, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet. I have my own dog, so I’m familiar with pet behavior, boundaries, and creating a safe space at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s home, I make sure the area is secure, clean, and free of hazards. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any instructions from the owner carefully. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and relaxed while in my care.

“Lori is absolutely amazing! My dog Mabel can’t wait for her walks and is always happily worn out after. I recommend Lori to everybody.”

About: I’ve lived with animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to spend time with them. Since moving away for college, I especially miss having furry companions around, so I’m excited to give your pets the same care and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for cats and small dogs, as well as larger dogs. I have experience with pet sitting, since I have been doing it on and off for the past couple of years. I’ve been responsible for feeding, playing with, supervising, and generally keeping pets happy and comfortable. Before I became the primary caregiver for the dog in my household, I also had a guinea pig who managed to learn even more tricks than our dog! I’m patient, attentive, and happy to work with each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet wants an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. As a part-time worker and student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to pet care. This allows me to work around your pet’s usual routine and provide care, walks, playtime, or check-ins at a variety of times. While pets are not allowed to stay overnight in my apartment, I’m happy to care for them in your home and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away. I provide pet care in my client’s home, allowing pets to stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions from their owners. I’ll also make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout each visit. Since pets are not allowed to stay in my apartment, I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and walks at your home.

“Keegan took great care of Blaire! Blaire always seemed super relaxed since the first time she met Keegan. I would recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their dog.”
