Dog Walkers in Pontiac, KS

About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!

About: I've have been doing dog rescue for 25 years and am used to all kinds of personalities in my home. I also did cat rescue for 3 years. I have been dog sitting for 20 years. My dogs and cat are used to other animals coming in and out of the home. I currently do foster care for senior dogs. I"m used to doing medications and worked for a vet for 2 years. I also did competitive AKC obedience, so I have a lot of experience with training dogs. My life revolves around the animals at my house and that I am housesitting for. I am home full-time. I am able to let them out as often as they need or administer medications/feed as often as needed as well. i have a large fenced in yard for them to run around. The pets that come into my home are welcome on furniture. Most of my dogs' sleep in crates, but if yours does not that is okay too. I feed everyone separately during mealtimes. If I am cat sitting, I clean the litterbox daily and will sit with them for a while to give them as much attention as they want.

About: I have always loved animals. Ever since I was a little one I have always had an animal to keep me company. When I was an adolescent I start a pet sitting service in my hometown. I love love to start that up again now. We have two dog; Jack and Piper. They are both very friendly dogs, when enjoy playing, cuddling, and eating together. There are two cats Tiny, and Toad. Our caged pet is a bunny named Buddy. Buddy gets along with cats and dogs as well. I am a stay at home dog mom. So I can spend all of my time bring comfort to your little loved ones. You can trust that with us, your babies will be our babies. Thank you for reading.

About: I have cared for my friends and families pets while they were away for multiple years. I have experience with grooming, feeding and walking multiple breeds of dogs. I will spend plenty of quality time with your fur baby to help keep them both mentally and physically healthy while you are away. I have a special place in my heart for cats. So if you have a kitten or adult cat that needs someone to check in on them and a little play time then I would love the opportunity to get to know them. I currently work a full time job with day shift hours. I would be able to care for your fur baby on evenings or weekends. Occasionally a couple days during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my pup to run. My daughter and I enjoy evening walks with our pup and bathing her weekly.

About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities! I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs :) I work full time in healthcare but luckily, I have weekends off! I have lots of time to play with and get to know your pup! I have a pretty big fenced in yard along with free rome in the home! I have 2 friendly dogs for your babies to play with while they stay!

About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born, so I’ve gotten to learn a lot about taking care of them! Over the years friends and family have allowed me to take care of their fur babies and have never been disappointed. I don’t mind giving baths, and I will do most everything else you need me to do! I’m currently working remotely, so I am available to play, walk, and feed your pups at anytime you may need me! I can board your pups anytime after 12pm! I have a fenced in yard with a COVERED pool that dogs and people can walk on! I also have three other small dogs to keep your animal company during their time here! If needed, I can put your pups in a crate, take them on long walks/runs, and anything else. I can also travel to your pups home if needed!

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, both my own and others and have an intense passion for caring for animals the right way! I have basic care skills, but can ensure diligence, active and engaging time spent with your animals, timely care, and commitment to following care guidelines to a T. I know what it’s like to leave your animals in the care of someone else. My personal pet sitters are accustomed to abnormally and intensely detailed printed guidelines with care instructions for my animals, so regardless of how detailed your care instructions are, I have the aptitude to follow them in their entirety plus more to the best of my abilities! I am a medical student in my first year, so I do have the ability to have more control of my schedule. I will continually update my time availability to be accurate weekly. I will not commit something that I cannot guarantee availability for! I will only be able to give care in your home due to living in an apartment complex and having animals of my own. But in caring for my own animals, I am quite neurotic in how detailed and specifically I care for them. I make sure my animals have daily mental and exercise stimulation through playing with toys, walking, and engagement with me and each other. I am adamant about giving my animals affection, and provide them meals in a timely and measured way. I brush all of my animals teeth daily, walk my dogs daily, and clean my cats litter box at least twice a day. I am very attuned to subtleties and changes in my animals behavior to ensure that they are in good health! I want to give my animals the best life and care possible just as I will do for your animals!

About: I’ve taken care of pets, especially dogs since my parents brought home my first dog when I was a little kid. I’m used to the responsibility of taking care of animals and making sure they are fed, walked and happy. I’ve also walked looked after dogs for relatives and neighbors who were away since I was a kid. I work from home on the weekdays. I work for myself as well and like to take breaks by walking around my neighborhood so it’s easy for me to find time for your pet. I’m available most the weekend as well unless something unexpected comes up. I have a one room apartment near college hill park, it’s an ideal location for dog walking, as it’s a very safe and walkable neighborhood. Being in a small space makes boarding a little difficult (which is why I charge more for it) but it is doable.

About: I was raised around dogs and I recently started training large breed dogs. I love all animals and would love to help you with your fur babies! I am currently a college student. My classes last two hours at the most. I come home in between classes. I work from home so I am at my house a majority of the time! I fully believe that our animals are our family members. I will treat your animals how I would treat my family members. When I am in your home I will treat it with the same respect that I would want with my own home!

About: Becoming a dog mom totally changed the game for me, I’ve always loved dogs, but now I truly get how special they are. Whether it’s puppies with zoomies or senior dogs who just want a slow stroll and some love, I’m here for it all. I’m super patient, love being outside, and have a blast training, playing, and walking pups of all ages. I’ve done months of dog training courses and learned how to handle many situations whether that’s walking, playing games, getting your dog used to new people, etc. Your dog will get lots of love, fresh air, and maybe even a new best friend (me!). I’m currently looking to dog sit over the summer while I search for a full-time position, so my schedule is super flexible! I’m available most days and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening needs—just let me know what works best for you and your pup! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. That means sticking to their routines, following any special instructions carefully, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m also mindful of keeping your home clean, secure, and well-maintained, just like I do with my own space. You can trust that I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both your pets and your home

About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!

“With my schedule being busy my foster pup needed someone to take him out in some adventures. He loves walks so wanted to try a dog walker. Bruce did great with Essence and really enjoyed going for a walk with her. Definitely going to continue booking Bruce to help get his exercise. Recommend Essence for sure! She did amazing with Bruce! She kept us updated and she took pictures of him! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I am currently working in the Veterinary field as a Kennel technician. I take care of many different animals all day by walking, feeding, bathing, observing their health, etc! I am currently in school to get my liscence to become a veterinary nurse from Colby Community College. I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. Cats, dogs, rodents, farm animals, you name it! I own 2 cats, and a chinchilla. I currently work part time, as I am a college student, so I do have plenty of time to watch over your animals! I will hopefully be getting a full time job soon, so my hours will most likely be set to weekends within a few months. I do not offer services at my home, as I have pets myself. But I am trained in taking care of your animals to ensure that they are as stress free as possible. Having a fenced in yard would be fantastic, but if you do not have one that is fine too!

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

About: I am flexible with pricing. I have had experience with all kinds of dogs including aggressive, dog selective, dog aggressive, anxiety, medications, and more. I take in dogs that need it and watch any and every dog I can. I have watched many breeds including cane corsos, pit bulls, labs, mixed breeds, German shepherd, chihuahua, lab mixes, Catahoula, and taken care of hundreds at a vet. I have had dogs my whole life and working at a vet for a few years and love taking care of them, giving them love, and giving them what the personally need. I love taking care of dogs the way they need. If dogs love toys more than love I will find a way to play with them and their toys, if they love training I will run through their tricks with them and teach them easy fun tricks. My husky doesn’t like attention that much but love exploring and learning things so we go to the lake and explore and my favorite trick he knows is beep beep which is back up or whose your best friend and he hits them. I watch dogs all the time and do what the owner wants and what the dog is comfortable with. If they love sleeping in their cage then I will put them in their cage but otherwise they can sleep where they want. My husky is a cage dog and will put himself in there and so is my younger dog. But my old corso sleeps with me and my husband. I work Monday Wednesday Friday. I am free all day on my days off. I’m the days I work I can watch dogs at my house but they can only be let out when I’m home. I work from 4am -5pm so my husband would have to let them out in the mornings, I can let them out at lunch and then when I get off we would usually go do something at the lake or walks or go to bomgaars. I do what my dogs are comfortable with. I feed them in the morning and then at night. Two of them sleep in the cages because they are more comfortable that way and the other one sleeps with me. My dogs are very well trained and good with people and dogs. None of my dogs react if the other dog snaps at them. My puppy is submissive so he lays down and my old dog comes to me. The husky just goes on about his business. I worked at a vet so I know how to handle a lot of situations and know what not to do.

About: By age six I was helping care for my family's animals both on the farm and in the home. It was instilled in me that pets and farm animals were to be fed and cared for before anyone else. From tending to horses, poneys, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese to more domesticated animals such a dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, and rodents - I have never lived one day without an animal by my side. I have passed down a love and respect for all wildlife and nature to my children. I would be honored to care for your pet and treat it as if it were my own. I'm currently the pet parent to a 15-pound cat and two dogs - a pit / lab mix that I rescued and a miniature aussie. I'm a widow who, until recently, cared for my late mother who suffered from Dementia. As such, I know first hand how therapeutic animals can be. I'm retired with two adult children and no grandchildren yet - so I can't think of a better way to fill my day than to care for your pet while you're away! I live in a rural setting in Butler County, KS. My animals are fed well and provided fresh water daily. I do not shy away from litter maintenance and am comfortable administering medications or following any health or safety protocols set by the pet owners. I have a degree in education and used to operate my own in-home childcare business. As such, I have a long history of families trusting with both their children and their fur babies!
