Dog Walkers in Spearfish, SD

About: I got my first dog when I was 4 years old. Have never looked back since! I’ve brought 3 dogs through Canine Good Citizenship certifications. One dog through 4 levels of agility training. One dog through therapy and scent discrimination training. And one dog through search and rescue training. I love, not only to care for animals, but also to learn with them and to observe what they are capable of doing with the right support. I’ve even been able to train my cat to never get only any kitchen counter tops and stay relaxed while I clip her nails! I work a very flexible online job. So I can easily arrange my schedule to meet then needs of the animals 7 days a week. At this time, I can only provide pet care at your home. Once there, I will orient myself with the nearest vet location and familiarize myself with your home, dos and donts, off limits areas, etc.

About: Your dogs will have fun while you are away. You can consider it their home away from home. Won’t have to worry about your things getting chewed up in your house or accidents. I will take care of them as my own. I am available to help Monday through Friday and most weekends. I have a fairly flexible schedule. I have 2 dogs myself (lab mix and a mastador) and have been raising a litter of puppies most recently. Feel free to ask for extra services and inquire with other requests. I watch my friends dogs at times and stay at my boss’s house to watch her dogs when they leave town for the weekend. I am responsible and look forward to meeting your furry friends. ?

“Fantastic experience! She walked my dog for a full hour and even came prepared with her own harness, which I really appreciated. She was patient, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog loved her and came back happy and relaxed. Definitely recommend her!”

“I plan on booking again with Maria! She was professional, prompt and clear/open communication with me. I was confident of the care she provided my dogs.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. Love connecting to them and enjoying similar activities like going for a walk, playing at the park, or simply just the company. I’d love any excuse to go on an extra walk or hike! I work as a Digital Marketing Specialist, 5 days a week from 8am-4pm Mon-Friday. However my schedule is can be flexible, especially if I have some notice. I have time in my lunch hour as well as mornings and afternoons! I have one little, and she's a cat. We spend lots of time on the porch, people/squirrel watching. Currently trying to harness train her so we can venture a little further than the outside porch. We try to get as much play time and cuddles in each day to keep us both happy!

About: Since a young age I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, family, and community. I've had lots of experience with all ages of dogs with different needs. I'm a patient person willing to take on training small pups or taking extra care of elderly dogs. I'm locked and loaded with plenty of treats, belly rubs, and "Who's a good boy/girl?!?!" As a dog mom myself, I’m full of empathy and love for everyone’s fur baby :) I’m currently work mostly evenings (roughly 4pm-11pm). I get two days off a week and can be flexible with advanced notice! My schedule works perfect for people who just need someone to drop in for a lunch time potty break and walk! I am comfortable where your pet is comfortable! I do in home stays on weekends and holidays. Weeknights can be discussed as needed as well. If I were to stay overnight I would prefer to bring my own dog with. She is a 9 month old english springer spaniel. She is very loving and gentle, she is also fully house trained.

About: I worked at the Humane Society for two years taking care of cats and dogs whether it was cleaning their areas walking them and just overall care I have plenty of time to check in on pets. I am looking to be free of animal care on weekends but will tend to them if needed I have two cats I take care of at home, I feel comfortable with any size dog and any breed will be able to handle myself and create comfortable environment for animals

About: I've owned pets all of my life from reptiles (bearded dragons and turtles), to dogs (big and small), cats of all personality types, and many different rodents (rabbits, Guinea pigs, mice). I love caring for pets and giving them whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable. I have been taking care of pets in a professional setting for 10 years and even worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years so I know how to administer many types of pet medications. I am also a certified dog trainer, so I know how to care for dogs of all energy levels and temperaments! I know that every pet has different needs and personalities and I can meet those needs! I work full time, but have spurts of time where I can stop in to care for a pet, take a dog on a walk, or spend some time cuddling with a pet. I can pick dogs up for walks at your home and take them on a local hike or a walk around the neighborhood or local park. I can stop by to let puppies (or dogs of any age) out to potty and give them some love and affection as well! I often care for cats where I stop into the home one a day or once every other day (depending on the owners preference) and make sure your cat has food, fresh water, and clean litter box. I also water house plants as needed if requested:)

“Sophia walked my 2yr old havapoo with care and positive guidance and she walked him along the various routes we had discussed. He's an anxious dog and he was hesitant to walk the 1st walk. By 3rd walk he was happy to leash up and go with her. I will book again!”

“We were so nervous about leaving our Sammi girl but after meeting with Katie we felt completely comfortable leaving her. She was so good with Sammi and such a fun outgoing young lady. I would recommend her to anyone with an energetic dog that needs lots of exercise. Thanks again Katie, it was so nice meeting you.”

Starla S.

“Jaden is wonderful. She came promptly to meet Oliver. She was familiar with the breed. She came the next day promptly and sent a message that all went well. My only regret was not being in her area to get to know her. She is so likable.”

“Very friendly and got along great with our Rosie!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them since I was little. I am SO PASSIONATE about dogs but our apartment building does not allow them. I would love to help out you and your family, while conveniently doing the thing I LOVE: hanging out with dogs!!! While o my 5’3”, I can definitely hold my own with bid dogs and those struggling with leash manners! I try to walk dogs at the local shelter once a week as well. I’ve never met a dog I haven’t loved!!! During the summer I have a fairly free schedule and am able to move around the responsibilities I do have to meet my needs. I go on a long walk at least once a day and would love to bring your dog along with me! I love our small town area and the country life ! I can’t bring dogs home with me but would love to take them in the car when needed and you can trust me in your home to meet the needs of your dog(s)

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and treat every pup like family. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and basic training—reliable, patient, and passionate about pet care and making sure they get their exercise! I work part time, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I love spending my free time with animals and can easily fit walks or check-ins into my routine. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely and treat your home with respect—your pet’s safety and trust come first!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on animal care experience and a genuine passion for animals. While attending college, I worked as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency care settings. Although this experience was several years ago, it provided me with valuable knowledge of animal behavior, safe handling techniques, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have spent years caring for pets belonging to family and friends. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include horses, pet birds, chickens, and reptiles. At home, we have a spirited Silver Labrador, a Cavapoo who is my son's best friend, a cat, a horse, and a gecko that spends school breaks with us. Being surrounded by animals every day has helped me develop a strong understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience and attention, or somewhere in between, I am committed to providing dependable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry, feathered, or scaled family members with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care and attention for your pets. During the school year, I am available on weekends, school breaks, holidays, and evenings. I am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent, loving care and maintaining their routines while their owners are away. I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and familiar surroundings. For that reason, I prefer to provide care in my clients' homes whenever possible. I take the time to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. If boarding in my home is needed, I have a securely fenced yard and a pet-friendly environment. My household includes two friendly dogs, a cat, and a classroom pet gecko. I carefully consider each pet's temperament and needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. My goal is always to provide a loving, low-stress experience that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away.

“Julie clearly cares a lot about dogs, and took her responsibilities very seriously. I appeciated getting updates and photos during the day. I was able to completely enjoy my day sightseeing knowing my sweet Rosie was in Julie's capable and caring hands. Would highly recommend hiring her to take care of your pet.”
