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!

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 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.

“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 grew up surrounded by animals, so I’m completely comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If your dog needs a high energy run or your senior cat needs medication and gentle handling, I know exactly how to keep them safe and happy. I have worked at Shackleford Road Veterinary Clinic as a kennel tech as well. I’ll treat your pets like my own, with love and an eye for their health. Expect plenty of photo updates while you're away! I am currently at home for the summer. I am taking one online class so I am available all day and night for your pets. I will follow all instructions you have left to a T. I can accommodate to whatever your pet needs. Your pet will be given as much attention as is needed.

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

“Vanessa is so good with my dog! Too bad our schedule didn’t work out. I will definitely ask for Vanessa again!”

About: I am currently a junior at OSU majoring in zoology. I have a cat named Troye whom I have had for 1 year. I grew up with dogs and have experience giving oral medication. I also have 3 years working with large mammals at accredited zoos. I am a full time student at OSU, so I am looking to work locally in Stillwater. I currently do not have another job so most days should be open. I live in a small apartment, so I am looking for clients interested in walks and drop in visits, but I am also open to house sitting.

“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!”

“She is awesome and easy to work with. Sends great updates during the visit. Will use her again”

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 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.

“Becca was a great find - we were in town for a wedding and needed a dog walker during the evening events. Becca was so kind taking time to see us for a meet and greet prior to our scheduled appointments. We were very comfortable leaving our pup with Becca.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and taking care of dogs has always come really naturally to me. I grew up on a cattle ranch, so I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience with all kinds of dogs, from easygoing family pets to dogs with more specific needs. I’m currently a senior at Oklahoma State University, double majoring in Marketing and Management, and I have a really flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to spend with the pets I’m caring for. Whether your dog needs lots of playtime and attention or is more of a couch potato, I’m happy to work around their normal routine! I also have experience with special-needs dogs and am comfortable with medications, injections, special diets, and extra care when needed. I’m currently a full-time student with two back-to-back afternoon classes Monday through Thursday. Aside from those few hours each day, my schedule is super flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and lots of attention throughout the day! I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, potty routines, crate instructions, medications, or other preferences you have. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and outside time, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re doing well!

“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’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 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.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. As a graduate assistant for Women’s Tennis at Oklahoma State, I have a flexible schedule outside of work and can provide dependable care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

About: My mom and I have taken care of animals all of our live. I have two indoor cats who love to play but also hide most of the time. We understand how important your animals are to you and how hard it can be to leave them. We promise to take care of your fur babies like they are my own and send you lots of pictures. We have a decent fenced in yard for dogs to play and will walk them each day. I work full time but my hours are completely flexible. I have a young daughter who loves animals and will provide lots of love and playtime. I have a fenced in yard for playing and will send daily pictures and updates. I will need an up to date shot record and can supply our animals up to date records so that everyone is safe.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind and temperament since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently a full time homemaker so I have a very open schedule to care for pets and make myself available around the clock for walks, check ins and potty breaks. I live in the country on a private road. I will keep your pet safely on leash while outside of my home and kenneled or loose in my house.
