Dog Walking in Lawrence

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.

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.

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’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and being around them has always brought me so much joy. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and runs is one of my favorite parts of caring for them. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, always making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I have class 4 days a week for less than half the day. I love going for walks and runs, so taking dogs out fits perfectly into my day. I’m available for early mornings, late nights, and most hours in between, which makes it easy for me to give pets consistent attention and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible so their dog feels comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh water, stay on their feeding schedule, and get plenty of time outside for walks, runs, and play. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra energy, extra snuggles, or a calm, quiet environment. I keep the home tidy, respect the owner’s space, and give regular updates so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“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 have always loved being around dogs since I was a kid. Whether it was friends, family or neighbors I enjoyed taking care of their pets and making sure the got the exercise they deserve. While in college, I no longer have a pet to look after everyday, but at home I would feed my dogs in the morning and evening and walk them around 3:30pm. I am a very experienced dog walker who’s met dogs of all size. I am no stranger to dogs who like to pull ahead or drag behind.

About: I am a huge dog lover! I can walk, watch, play and do all the things to get your pup out of the house and moving around!

“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: Hello my name is Quincie! I am an animal lover and I provide excellent care to cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats never not having at least one around. I have always taken care of my own pets but as far as other people’s pets I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family since I was about 10 years old. I also have experience with animals that have very high needs. I’ve had insane puppies that need lots of guidance and training, senior cats and dogs that need patience, pets with important medical needs, and I’ve even owned a cat with diabetes who needed insulin injections twice daily with strict eating schedules. Currently I am working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Lawrence Kansas. I recently moved here and am wanting to start pet sitting again! Currently I typically work 6:30am-1:30pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays so I am typically available after 1:30 especially if I can get a heads up. On Sundays I work from 12pm-5pm and am available before or after. I am off Wednesdays and Saturdays and am available most of the time. Please reach out if you have any scheduling questions. In clients home I will follow their exact instructions and use my best judgment. I understand that all pets and pet parents operate differently so I think it is best to do what your pet is used to while you are away especially with nervous pets.

About: I had a dog for 10 years, helping with training like sit and shake, all the way to helping my dog as a senior. I frequently volunteer on KC Pet Project animal shelter where I have given dogs of all sizes dog day outs! I know how to handle a very excited pup all the way to a mellowed out dog! I am very patient with all animals and love giving them the attention that they need. While my own dog was going through cancer in his final months I took him to all his vet appointments, kept on top of all his medicine and physical care. I am currently a college student at the University of Kansas. My class schedule allows me to visit/walk your furry friends starting at 10:30 in the morning all the way to the late hours of the night! Helping your pet will allow me and your pup to get the exercise and fresh air that we both need. With my class schedule I can ensure your pet will walk in the morning before it becomes too hot and drop in any time of the day. I will make it a priority to visit your pet 3-5 times a day. Providing them with walks, playtime, snuggles and food. I will ensure safety for your pet by taking them out regularly, making sure their water bowl is replenished and hopefully keeping them a happy dog while the client is away! If your pet is a senior dog I have experience with administering oral pills for your pup, applying cream, eye drops, or any other kind of medication. If you pet is a pup I can provide safety from other dogs to reduce the risk of harm to your pup and the other pooch.

About: I have always been known to my parents friends and neighbors and the person to call if you need help watching your animal. 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.

About: When I was younger we used to dog sit all the time for my aunt who went on frequent business trips. After dog sitting him, I fell in love with dogs. I do not have any pets of my own, so I soak up every opportunity I get to take care of and be around animals. My dog sitting experience is dog boarding, house sitting/pet sitting, and daily visits at the dogs residence. My experience with cats is checking on them daily at their house, and I spent my summer living in a house with an amazing cat. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school in the morning for about two hours. I sometimes run errands and go to the gym. I also work part time, but my day includes many stops at my house. Not everyday is busy for me, but on the days that are, I have other teen siblings who also love interacting with pets! Safety is so important for me and your pet. If your dog is boarding at my house I will provide a meet and greet with you and your dog to make sure it's a good environment. My house is clean and safe to make sure your dog won't get into anything harmful. While my yard is not fenced, I do take lots of effort to make sure your dog gets enough time leashed outside. If I am sitting at your house, I will also come stop by before to make sure I learn the safety and locks at your house.

“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!!”

“Laela is an amazing sitter! She comes by and walks my dog everyday. She is responsive, accommodating, understanding and trustworthy. My dog can sometimes be difficult due to anxiety but, with all of Laela’s past experience, she handles him very well. I appreciate Laela’s services and I don’t know what I’d do without her! Highly recommend!”
