Dog Walking in Lawrence

About: I've helped take care of cats and dogs since I was a kid, but I have more experience with cats. I've helped walk, feed, and give dogs potty breaks. I'm a full-time teacher, but I have weekends/holidays/summer break away from the classroom. I am an early bird so I wake up at 5am and I work at a late start school (8:30am). I also have evenings/nights free from 4-10pm Monday-Thursday. I have an open availability from Friday evening all the way to Sunday evening. I have two cats that I play with and provide them with mental stimulation as well. I give them toys and scratching posts, and when I'm able to I provide them with high-protein cat food. I take them on a leash and harness when we go outside.

“Clara is a wonderful dog walker providing welcome mid-day breaks for my senior special needs dog, Poppy. Her caretaking makes Poppy's day brighter and mine less stressful.”

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!

“Elena came to walk our dog this week. She was wonderful and easy to work with. She is very responsible and we would definitely use her again.”

“Iryna was very communicative and went above and beyond sending pictures and coming right on time. I would definitely have her take care of my pets again and recommend her highly!”

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.

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.

“I have a rescue dog with some special needs, and Eva has been absolutely wonderful in accommodating all of our requests to help my dog feel more comfortable with strangers and aid in her separation anxiety. I would highly recommend Eva if you want someone who is compassionate and knows what they're doing, with both dogs and cats alike!”

“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 !!”

I’ve been pet sitting dogs specifically for just over 4 years but before that I watched everything from cats, to fish, and hamsters. I’ve dealt with numerous dogs suffering from seizures along with many recovering from surgery’s so I know how to handle almost everything. I’m currently a college student. I have some Morning commitments however I can be home with your pet for most of the day, or stop by at any point during the day to walk or let them out. I have an english golden retriever myself so there is another dog within my house, however he’s very friendly with other dogs. We don’t use a crate in our house and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but I’m happy to follow whatever you prefer for your own animal.
