Dog Walking Seward

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was able to! I have had 4 dogs, 3 mixed-breeds and one great dane. I love all pups from teacup to taller-than-me! I have experience dog-sitting for friends and neighbors, as well. With 2 energetic toddler-dogs of my own right now, I have experience with puppies through powder sugar nosed oldies. I have also successfully trained dogs in obedience and with special tricks. I am currently a graduate student at OSU, but have flexibility throughout most weeks. I'm available most weekends, and please reach out to check availability! I am happy to come play big-sister to pets with busy parents and who need attention in their own homes. I can walk, run, or play with pups outside when the weather is nice and can provide enrichment inside during stormy and muggy days! At home, I have crate-trained puppies and am comfortable kenneling and working on other training with your pups! I can follow any guidelines set for optimal care while pet parents are away.

About: I’m Emma! I have cared for and pet sat many different types of animals, from cats, (especially) and dogs, to goats and chickens. Growing up my family always had cats and a dog, so treating animals with respect and kindness is important to me, they deserve it. When I think about how I would want my pets to be cared for, I would expect only the best and same quality as how I would, you can expect the same standard of care I’d want for my own pets, whenever I take care of yours. I was taught about veterinary care for bigger dogs through an internship, so I have that experience if there are any medical needs for your dog. My job is to make sure they’re happy, safe, well, and cared for! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am a college student currently on break, I can typically do any mornings, mid day and evenings almost guaranteed. Except for Monday’s from 9am-3pm. I care for a cat and a dog of my families at home, and know their routine like the back of my hand. Along with feeding them and maintaining their water of course, I know how to brush, bathe and overall clean pets, know warning signs that they are injured (because cats always hide it really well) and also know how to keep them safe and healthy! I know other people’s routines with their pets may be different, but I am equipped, knowledgeable, and prepared to maintain your routine for your pets, whatever it looks like!

About: I have watched dogs and cats of all kinds of sizes, ages and personalities. I take pride in providing reliable care and making sure each pet is comfortable and happy😁 I am available for full time care! ♥️🐾 I have a flexible schedule. I work remotely for my full time job, which allows me to be present in the home for the day during house sitting stays. This helps ensure pets receive consistent companionship and routine care. For dogs, I make sure they have plenty of opportunities throughout the day for bathroom breaks and attention. For cats, I ensure they receive attention and affection based on their individual personalities and needs. I also keep litter boxes clean and maintain their regular routine.

“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 taken care of my own household pets such as dogs, cats, and birds since I was young. Later I worked at a vets office where I handled the boarding and care of a variety of pets, each with different needs and personalities. I also semi-consciously help to care for my families medical sensitive dog. I am currently enrolled in university with breaks throughout the day which would allow me to consistently check in multiple times. While most of my class happen Monday through Thursday, this allows me a full availability Friday through Sunday. I am well versed in caring for medically sensitive animals, having done so for many years. I am also experienced with large dogs as I have one of my own. I have experience with crating and corralling all sorts of pet sizes and personalities.

About: I’ve had years of experience with taking care of pets, including my own. I’ve also house and pet sit for my neighbors at times since I was in high school and I love to take care and make animals happy! I’ve also had experience with taking care of a senior dog last year for a family member’s parents. I’m currently doing contract work at Life.Church especially on the weekends, local musician, and will be quitting another job soon. My availability is open anytime Monday-Saturday, I can also do a drop in visit for your pet even on days where I’m busy at church! Just work out a time and let me know when you need and we’ll work out a time that fits both of us and your pet! :) I have a Guinea pig that I take care of everyday, and 2 small dogs that my mom owns, and a bird. I am looking for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting for you type jobs and not boarding visits.

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs literally since the day I was born, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have a strong, genuine love for all pets, and I treat every animal like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and deeply committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because my summer basketball schedule at University of Central Oklahoma is flexible. I’m staying here all summer, and I wanted a job that lets me be reliable while doing something I genuinely love. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I make time every day to give pets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home I focus on safety, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent. I do not have a fenced yard, so I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through regular walks and supervised outdoor time. My dog Jersey and I love taking trips to the dog park, which gives dogs a fun and safe place to explore and play. In a client’s home I follow all instructions carefully and make sure each pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.

“Responded great! Helped us out when we had a last minute booking!!”

About: I have experience caring for many different types of animals and have been around pets my whole life. I previously worked in a pet store, where I helped care for animals daily and learned more about pet behavior and proper care. I was a part of canine 4H for two years with two different dogs. I’ve also pet sat for around six different families and have multiple references available. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and cats! I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve recently moved to OKC from Texas, and I’m looking to earn money doing what I love most: being around animals. Aside from taking time for my own pets, I’d love to be able to visit other people’s fur babies. I am good with routines, so if you have a set routine you’d like me to follow, I will be glad to do so! Same goes for your rules of course! I like keeping things clean and neat so anything in your home that needs to be used I will be sure to put back how I found it and clean up any messes made. Your pets will get plenty of encouragement and love, I hate scolding unless absolutely needed of course. I have been around plenty of nervous and wary animals, so I know how to be gentle and careful with them! If I ever have any questions I will be sure to ask, I am reliable and have plenty of references to stand by me saying that! I’m very detail-oriented and will always have one eye on my pet in care.

About: With over 40 years experience taking care of ALL kinds of animals, there aren't many scenarios that we haven't come across before, therefore you can feel confident that your little one/ones will be in capable and loving hands. We have spent the last three years house and pet sitting all over the world, but since we planned on being home for awhile, I would love to offer our services to walk, or play and stay with your pets and provide a fun environment for them with loving companionship. Please reach out to me directly for a link to over 50 references of past sits. Being retired has the huge advantage of lots of free time to spend playing, hiking, exploring and creating fun even last moment if that is what is needed We prefer to keep pets in their own home environment to provide the familiarity of their normal routine and surroundings. If they like to get out though, I am always ready for a good walk or hike, visit to a park, play date with friends or any nature outing. We will do everything we can to ensure that your pet stays safe at all times and experiences a fun and enriching time on any staycation, walk or drop in visit 😊

“Calynn has been amazing with Bruno! He’s very particular and cautious with new people, but he liked her instantly, which says everything. She always gives thorough updates after each visit and lets me know exactly how he did, which I really appreciate. She’s patient, attentive, and clearly takes the time to make him feel comfortable. I feel totally at ease knowing Bruno is in her care. Highly recommend!”

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 been caring for pets continuously since I was 8 years old — that’s over 50 years of hands-on experience. Growing up on a farm gave me a deep and lasting connection with animals from an early age. I learned responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment for every creature in my care. Over the years, I’ve also taken in many strays, giving them food, shelter, and the attention they desperately needed until they found their forever homes. This lifelong bond with animals has given me tremendous empathy for family pets and the people who love them. I understand how much your pet means to you and how important it is for them to feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for when you’re away. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or another beloved companion, I treat every pet with the same kindness and respect I would want for my own. Today, my own dog serves as my daily assistant and constant companion. He keeps me active, grounded, and reminds me every day of the special relationship we share with our animals. This close, everyday connection helps me bring real understanding and patience to the pets I care for. I’ve cared for animals with many different personalities — from easygoing to more independent or strong-willed — and I always adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. Feeding, daily care, playtime, and health monitoring have all been part of my routine for decades. I’ve learned how to create consistent schedules, provide mental and physical enrichment, and make sure every pet feels like part of the family. My goal is always the same: to give your pet the same level of love, attention, and security they receive at home. Caring for pets is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I currently share my home with a dog and two cats, so I understand the importance of structure, attention, and love in keeping animals happy and healthy. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule for all my pets. Meals are served at the same times each day, which helps them feel secure and supports good digestion. I’m especially attentive to individual dietary needs — for example, my dog is currently on a carefully managed elimination diet, so I prepare and portion his meals with extra care while still keeping the cats on their own appropriate feeding routine. I also make sure my pets get plenty of activity and engagement throughout the day. My dog gets regular walks that give him both physical exercise and mental stimulation. With my two cats, I incorporate interactive play sessions using wand toys, laser pointers, and puzzle feeders to keep them active and mentally sharp. These daily activities help prevent boredom and strengthen the bond I share with each of them. Above all, I show kindness through positive reinforcement. I use praise, gentle encouragement, and rewards to build trust and confidence. Whether it’s rewarding my dog for calm behavior on walks or praising one of my cats for using their scratching post instead of the furniture, I focus on reinforcing good behavior in a loving, patient way. This approach helps pets feel safe and happy, and it’s the same method I use when caring for other people’s pets. Because I live this routine every day with my own dog and cats, I bring real, practical experience to every pet I care for on Rover. Safety and trust are the foundation of the care I provide. Whether I’m doing an overnight pet sitting stay, taking a dog for a walk, or doing a quick drop-in visit, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own dog and two cats. My goal is always for your pet to feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Building Trust from the First Meeting I believe trust starts with a calm, respectful introduction. I take time to meet your pet on their terms — letting them approach me first, using a gentle voice, and allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. I pay close attention to their body language and personality so I can adjust my approach to what makes them feel safe. Pet Sitting (Overnight or Extended Care) When staying in your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes consistent feeding times, regular potty breaks, and familiar play or rest periods. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure at all times and never leave your pet unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also provide daily updates with photos and notes so you can see your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. Pet Activity & Walks Safety is my top priority during walks and outdoor activities. I always use a secure leash and harness (or the equipment you prefer) and remain attentive to the environment — watching for other dogs, traffic, wildlife, or anything that could startle your pet. I adjust the pace and length of the walk to your pet’s energy level and fitness. For dogs who need extra structure, I use positive reinforcement to encourage calm, polite behavior on the leash. Drop-In Visits During drop-in visits, I focus on providing everything your pet needs in the time I’m there — fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, medication if required, and some quality interaction or playtime. I always double-check that your pet is secure before I leave (doors locked, pets in safe areas) and send you a visit report with photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. General Safety Practices I Follow I carefully follow all of your instructions regarding food, medication, routines, and any special needs. I keep emergency vet information and your contact details easily accessible at all times. I monitor your pet closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. I use positive reinforcement and patience to help even shy, anxious, or strong-willed pets feel relaxed and secure in my care. Because I live with pets every day, I understand how important these small details are. My experience has taught me that when pets feel safe and trusted, they’re happier — and their owners can relax knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.

About: As a teacher and coach, I bring reliability, patience, and strong communication to every pet-sitting experience. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust with them. Having cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life, I’m comfortable adapting to different routines, energy levels, and care needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. As a teacher and coach, my schedule opens up significantly during the summer months. I am available for pet care around lunchtime and throughout the afternoon and early evening on most days. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship during the times many pet owners are at work or away from home. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for so I can give each one the attention and care they deserve. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and rest. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am attentive during walks and outdoor time, ensuring pets remain safely leashed or within secure areas. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners confidence that their pets are in good hands.

“Alex did a great job and I have only good things to say about her! She was on time both days, kept me updated during and after the walks, she is very sweet, and I trust her 100% with my dog. 10/10 Thank you Alex!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs before. I have a bigger dog and smaller cat of my own at home but not in Kansas. I love all types of animals!! I’m currently in school but am available most hours of everyday. I don’t have any other obligations during the weekdays so I am very flexible. I am willing to work with whatever the owner would like. I am definitely willing to spend the night if necessary and can let out however often the owner would like.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends animals during their trips, which includes cats, dogs, and even feeding their horses! Loving on your animals while you’re away or gone for work is what I love to do! I do not work outside of the home, and I have the availability and flexibility to help love on or take care of your pets basic needs while you’re away! I even love updating you with pictures or videos to help ease your mind! Being a mom myself, I understand that animals are also our children, and they need just as much love and attention as we would give to our own human kiddos. Being able to play with your pets and help run some energy out, or just showing up to make sure they don’t feel alone is my expertise!
