Dog Walking Perkins

About: I've raised and cared for multiple breeds of dogs (Golden Retriever, lab, Boxer, mixed breeds, Boston Terrier, etc.) and loved every single one. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, such as separation anxiety, escape artists, aggression, leash-tugging, etc. From my experience, I'm a firm believer that dogs shadow their owners, and will happily be obedient if it means they can have their owners' affection and approval. Any dog can can learn new skills with enough support and encouragement! I am available to provide your puppy (of any age) a great run for exercise, a leisurely walk, or a drop-in visit filled with TLC and attention to their needs. Your dog is a special member of your family, and I promise to treat him/her with respect and love. Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you!

“Sarah goes above and beyond for my high maintenance husky on their check-ins/walks while I’m at work. Highly recommend if you’re needing help with your dog!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.

About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from hedgehogs to special needs dogs. Never have I found a challenge that I couldn’t overcome I’m a college student with only a couple of classes every day, none of which would interfere with caring for an animal I have been put in charge of I know from personal experiences that keeping your pet in their own environment Is always better than dragging them out somewhere new, whether I’m staying the night, or just popping in a couple times during the day we’ll be best friends by the end of day 1

About: I do plants and house-sitting too! This is a somewhat lengthy read; I would like to be as thorough as possibly by covering information you need to know as well as pertinent info you might like to have. As a long time animal lover, I’ve been petsitting since I could drive. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, and other animals as well. I have looked after animals my whole life and plan to continue doing so, your pets are in good hands. I will do everything in my ability to see to that your precious companion(s) are cared for, safe, and comfortable. This includes walks and I will do my best to accommodate any special requests you may have. I know odd and unexpected situations pop up all the time, from family emergencies to last minute date nights, and while my notice preference is typically at least two days, I promise to hear anything out and give it careful consideration. Don’t be scared to ask me any questions! I am a full-time student, and have a flexible job. This makes for a reasonably consistent schedule that I can plan accordingly around. Naturally, I will check in as often as my schedule allows (I can make time as often as every few hours) and as often as you deem necessary (within reason). My weekends are largely free and flexible, so I am able to provide the best care at all times. I live in a house with a large open backyard in a rather quiet neighborhood (perfect for walks!). I do live among 2 cats, 1 of whom is rather skittish and non-confrontational as well as 1 who is insatiably curious and playful. Your pets are in no danger from them. I would greatly prefer to just visit your home for the comfort and general safety of all parties, but will try to meet whatever needs or preferences you may have. You’re the owner—you know what’s best for your animals. Feedings, medications, exercise, grooming, and quality time, and whatever else will be given in whatever amounts and frequency you ask. If at any time you get a hunch, trust your gut! I will reassure you at any time with pictures and updates; your trust and animals’ safety are invaluable to me. To further put your at ease, I have a very responsible housemate who is often home when I am not and would not let anything unusual or worrying go unattended. If you happen to forget any supplies (it happens), I would not let the quality in your pet’s care waver. Having pets, the peace of mind I get from knowing something as preventable and fixable as forgetting a bag of kibble or a leash would be taken care of is a lifesaver, and I would be remiss to not extend that to fellow pet owners. I’ll be in touch to answer any and all questions; I look forward to hearing from you -Rachel

About: I have cared for many different animals over the years. This list includes cats, reptiles, fish, small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, and xl dogs. These animals have been my own as well as friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s, as they knew I would tend to them with the utmost care. My specialties include working with deaf, blind, anxious and senior animals. My philosophy for caring for any animal is to respect their boundaries and help them feel the most comfort possible. I am currently working at a part time work from home job, meaning I have a very flexible schedule and can come morning to evening to care for you pets. I am available to overnight care any day of the week as well. In my clients home: Check ins would include tending to anything outlined by the pet owner, and being sure to give the animal as much pets and playing as they would like. Overnight care would be the same as far as tending to the outlined instructions. Since it is overnight, if there is a certain nighttime routine it would be accomplished. Before I left I would also make sure I have picked up and cleaned up behind myself (ie. fluffing pillow cushions, throwing away trash, washing dishes, etc) In my home Care would be the same as listed above. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, there is plenty of walking space for them to enjoy being outside. I do have a yard if they just need to potty but not go on a long walk.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own and have cared for neighbors' and friends' dogs many times, both in their homes and at mine while they were away on vacation. I also have experience helping train puppies and caring for senior dogs. I am currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings no matter what time! Your dog's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I have a large yard and two friendly Labrador Retrievers. One of my dogs has an autoimmune disorder, so I am very familiar with following special feeding schedules, administering medications, and paying close attention to a dog's individual needs. Whether your dog requires a specific diet, medication, extra potty breaks, or particular sleeping arrangements, I will make sure those instructions are followed carefully.

“I highly recommend Theresa! I contacted her at the last minute (the night before), to inquire as whether she could walk my German Shepherd/Mal mix the next morning for an hour. As always, she responds quickly, is always on time and excellent with pup. My darling pup came back exhausted which is what I wanted since it takes a lot to tire this breed. Many thanks to you Theresa and until next time!”

About: As a first-year vet student at OSU, I have had an abundance of experience handling and caring for all sorts of furry friends! My background includes (but is not limited to) working at a vet clinic back home for over 4 years, working at a boarding/day-care facility in Stillwater for a year, and pet sitting for friends/family. I have also owned pets my whole life! I currently have a hamster, but back home I have cats, dogs, and horses. I would be honored to take care of any fluff ball you send my way - big or small! Although I am in vet school, I still have a very flexible schedule for taking care of your pet's needs. My early mornings, lunches, and afternoon/evenings would be free for checking in/caring for the furry friend in question. Weekends are open unless I have anything planned ahead of time which I would make sure to communicate with the owner upon booking. When it comes to pet-sitting, your dog or cat will be my priority! I will make sure I am there to take the dog out 2-4 times a day at least. If weather is nice and the pet is cooperative, I would love to take them for a walk or get some play time outside. I'm open to giving them cuddles or any other activity they would enjoy!

About: I have experience with service dog training and basic puppy training. I love to play and interact with your furry friends and love them like there my own. I currently am a full time student but I am home a lot of the time. I enjoy watching your babies whenever you need me to. I have the sweetest cat who is super friendly and gets along with both cats and dogs. I live in a apartment that is spacious and has a lot of grass areas.

About: I have owned pets all my life from dogs and cats to ferrets and lizards. I am currently studying animal science in pursue of a degree in veterinary medicine. I have trained puppies and volunteered at shelters so I have been exposed to lots of different dog breeds. Last summer I worked side by side with a Vet and gained lots of experience with many animals. My schedule is very flexible considering I am a college student and only work when I am home on breaks. I am working at a vet clinic and getting experience in that field. I am also available on weekends and capable of working with you to put the needs of your pet first. My dogs have a fenced in yard so during this time of year they spend a lot of time outside and playing fetch. We have crate trained them as puppies so I can accommodate to any means necessary.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have always loved their company. At a young age I wanted to be a veterinarian so I can learn more of animals. Even though I did not take that route in my education I still have taken care of many pets with disregards to age range or personality. Coming from someone who has experience with a pet with an illness I know how important it is to insure their health and safety. I am solely focused on their need of comfort and safety in my care . I believe open communication and direction for the care of your loved ones is very important in this role. I currently work a full-time job so my availability is not as open. I am currently open on weekends and the occasional weekdays, I will try my best to align with yours and your pets schedule. I intend to keep the best environment of safety and enjoyment wherever it may be. I will work to keep the peace and chaos in a healthy balance, whatever your pet will need.

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years now giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I love what I do and I love treating other peoples pets as if they’re my own! Im currently looking for another job and Im looking for something to fill up my time between now and then! Pet care is a huge part of my life and it’s what I love doing! I will keeps your pets routine exactly how you like it done! I like to keep in touch by sending updates/pictures! I always like when the owner leaves notes so everything is in writing!

About: I have been pet and house sitting for friends and family since I was 16 years old. I love animals (sometimes more than people). I can take care of all different types of needs that your beloved pet might have. Long walks, baths, morning and night time routines, special diets, etc. I have even taken care of a dog with diabetes before. I do not have much experience with other animals but I am a quick learner. I would love to take care of any pet you may have. I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University and I have a part time job that I work as well. I wouldn’t be gone from my house or yours any longer than the hours that would consist in a normal work or school day. I’m not normally gone that long but that is the longest I would be gone in a day. I have a pretty open schedule for the most part because a few of my classes are online. I don’t have any pets at home anymore. Sadly my childhood dogs passed away this summer and while I am not ready to get my own dog yet I still love taking care of animals! I kept a lot of their old things so I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and blankets that your animal would be welcome to use. I also have a dog door and fenced backyard that is available for use as well. The dog door can be shut or left open depending on what works best for your animal.

“Abby literally was so amazing! I had asked so many people the week leading up to our trip to help out with my little one and everyone fell through but Abby was so flexible and made herself available for two walks super last minute. She was very communicative and kind and made me feel very at ease while I was out for the day. I would 1000% trust my dog with her. Cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I come from a big family who loves pets! Have plenty of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and livestock since I was a little kid! I’m currently a full-time student at osu. My dog gets a walk before and after class and I spend a lot of time training him/getting his energy out in the afternoons. I shape my schedule to make sure pets are always well cared for. With my current apartment complex i unfortunately cannot board other dogs in my home. But I have transportation and would be more than happy to check in on yours as many times a day as needed!

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and genuinely love caring for animals. I currently have two friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own and have cared for multiple dogs throughout my life. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I believe they deserve patience, attention, and lots of affection while their owners are away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether your pup loves to play outside, go for walks, or simply relax and get belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I have a spacious, secure fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, and they’ll be treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Because I live in a quiet country setting with a large fenced yard, many dogs enjoy a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of room to explore and play. I offer flexible availability seven days a week and do my best to accommodate my clients’ schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays whenever possible. Whether you need care for a planned vacation, a last-minute trip, or regular pet care, I’m committed to providing dependable, reliable service. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my priority, and I’ll work with you to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and part of the family. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll carefully follow your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special care they may need. In my home, your dog will enjoy a clean, comfortable environment with access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. My home is equipped with a doggie door, allowing dogs to move freely between the house and my securely fenced yard at their own pace throughout the day. Whether they want to relax indoors, enjoy the sunshine, or stretch their legs outside, they can do so comfortably and safely. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your home and your pet with the same respect, care, and attention I give my own. I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
