Dog Walkers in Lyons, SD

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with animals taught me how to read their behavior, provide daily care, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I have experience feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I also have experience helping train puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, house-training routines, and positive reinforcement techniques. I enjoy working with young dogs and helping them learn good habits while building their confidence. I currently care for my own pets and understand how important it is to treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so pet owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or overnight stays. While I generally prefer not to work weekends, I may be available on a case-by-case basis with advance notice. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love while their owners are away. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and wellbeing and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I treat every animal and home with respect and care. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I have lived with and taken care of numerous animals in my life. Growing up on a farm gave me a love for animals and taught me how to properly care for them. I grew up living with cats, horses, dogs, etc. I currently have one cat named Blaze who is a part of the family. Due to Blaze being intolerant to dogs I will not be offering any in-home dog sitting services. I will be more than happy to take care of your family through drop-in playtime, walks, or overnight stays depending on your needs. I am currently enrolled at the local university pursuing a major in architecture. Through my career of personal aid visiting different families in need, I have become familiar with the neighborhoods around town as well as the parks you may want your pet to visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I currently work on the weekend, and I also attend college. This frees up a lot of my time during the week. I love helping out others and seeing the animals in our community. As mentioned I have one cat, he loves to engage in chase and will either chase me or a Lazer pointer. I will meet all of you requirements as well as provide cuddles and play.

About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I'll always have time to care. I'm also almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.

About: With over 10 years of experience, I combine a passion for animals with professional expertise. As a nurse, I understand the importance of compassionate care, and that’s exactly what I provide for your furry family members. Meet the Team: As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for countless dogs, cats, and other critters. My own pets are my pride and joy, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. My Little Helpers: With three children under the age of 7, our home is always bustling with energy and laughter. Your pets will enjoy the playful company of our little ones during their stay. I am also a professional photographer and would love to capture some fun photos of your furry friend! Ask me about my add on photography service! Between my husband and I, someone is always home. It would not be a problem if your pet would need frequent bathroom breaks. As a part time nurse, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I also have a cat that keeps to himself. He is allowed to free roam the main floor. They play outside whenever I am out. Your animal will be treated like my own pet with your typical rules and requests respected.

About: Have been around dogs my whole life. Have taken care of my parent’s dog for 5 years. I have experience administering medications as well as assisting dogs with limited mobility. I currently work part time, but my schedule is flexible for both weekdays and weekends. I can walk your dogs, do drop in visits, or overnight stays. I can watch your dogs at your home where they can be comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I will give them plenty of love and attention.

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals… big and small. I grew up on and off a farm, as my dad is a Large / Small animal veterinarian! I’ve always had lots of animals in my home and love taking care of them (and lots of treats)! Also, I do move back to college in August. So Sioux City soon to come :) I’m currently home from college! I am a nursing major at Morningside university in Sioux City. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, and needed a fun summer gig! I can take your animals on long or short walks.. or just out to potty! I also LOVE a good game of fetch or tug! Myself at home I have 2 wild dogs that always need to move around ;)

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a one-bedroom apartment where I can host pets, and I’m also able to provide walks and potty breaks. I’m flexible and always open to clear communication with owners.

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and potty their pets! I also volunteer at the local Sioux Falls humane society walking shelter pups! I would love to take care of yours too :) I am currently a Registered Nurse at Sanford Hospital. Although I work 12 hour shifts when I work, it gives me more days off in the week to be able to take care of your pets! In your home I will follow your specific care instructions to ensure your pet feels as normal as possible with your absence. I will play and walk with your pup to burn some energy. I will feed them when instructed and let them out to go to the bathroom every few hours or when needed. Most importantly, I will love your pet as my own and give them a lot of snuggles and pets!

About: I have experience dealing with dogs with special needs and dogs of all ages. I am also reliable, communicate well, and have a genuine love for dogs! I currently work part time so I have both time before and after work to be able to walk your dog. I have very flexible time. Whether at my place or yours, pets get lots of love and attention! I make sure they're comfy, safe, and sticking to their regular routines.

About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.

About: Is the thought of leaving your dog in a boarding facility with strangers where they won’t get one on one attention causing you grief? Working from home means I’m here all day to give your pup the attention they deserve, and they will be treated like family. With two Chihuahuas and a Shiba Inu of my own, I’ve got plenty of experience with little dogs—including the “spicy” ones that not everyone has patience for. We love the yappers and nappers in this house! Here’s what your dog can expect: • Safe playtime in a fully fenced-in backyard • Lots of love and snuggles • Flexible care to match their routine (feeding, potty breaks, meds if needed) • Updates galore with photos and videos so you know they’re happy I specialize in caring for small to medium sized dogs, just like my own, and can separate pups from mine as needed depending on temperament. Big dogs are great, but this daycare is designed for the little ones! 🐶 If you’ve got a small pup who needs a safe, loving place to spend the day (or night!), I’d love to welcome them into my home. I work remotely from home, so my schedule for pet care is somewhat flexible. For daycare in my home, I do not take more than two dogs at a time as I want to be sure both my dogs and your dogs are getting sufficient attention. I’m very open to quick drop-in visits for feeding and potty breaks at your home as needed during the day and early evening. I have two Chihuahuas and a Shiba Inu, and they’re definitely spoiled! Since I work from home, they get lots of attention, playtime in the backyard every few hours, and plenty of evening snuggles. On nice days, we take the younger pups for leashed walks. My oldest dog is recently disabled, so I’m experienced with giving extra care like carrying her outside, assisting with walking, helping with potty breaks, and administering medication daily. We don’t have kids, so our dogs truly are our babies. Any dog staying with us will get the same love and care. Our multi-level home also makes it easy to separate dogs if needed, depending on temperament. I’m very communicative and will send as many photo and video updates as you’d like so you always feel connected.

About: I’ve spent over 4 years caring for my own pittie and grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to handle both high-energy pups and laid-back seniors. I’m confident with daily routines, exercise, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I am available on weekday evenings and throughout the weekends, offering flexible and reliable pet care to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s unique needs. I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, where your pets feel safest. Whether it’s daily walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting, I follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I focus on creating a calm, positive environment while keeping your pets happy, healthy, and secure.

About: Iv grew up with animals all my life and have always had a heart for caring for animals! I have been dog sitting my neighbors dogs for years! I’m currently working part time, so will have plenty of time to dog sit as well! Just reach out and we can set a time that works for the both of us! I have a fenced yard, and many areas for your pups to stay! I have a few younger siblings as well who would love to be entertained by your pups as well!

“Brianna is a first rate dog walker and was so caring with my little 4 pound toy poodle. I will contact her to care for/walk my dog every time I am in the area. She walked my dog 8 times and was prompt and attentive each time. Dunkin' loved Brianna!”
