About: I've had pets since I can remember, I have care for my puppies since they were just weeks old. I've had a pug and a husky, and now a lab mix pup. I love doggies most of all and I know they will have a great time at my place. Thia is my full time job, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup, take care of them and make them feel loved while away from home. I have a two year old doggie that can play with yours and we have a fenced backyard ready for zoomies as well as plenty of toys and treats.
About: Hello!! My name is Maisy. I have worked in various different animal related jobs for the last 5 years, I worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility and I currently am a dog trainer. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dog as well as cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I also am open to limited contact boarding for people reacting dogs and can do crate rotation for dog reactive dogs away from mine. I work in the evenings 4 days a week so I spend the mornings/afternoons out playing with the pups then they take naps in kennels while I’m at work and we play some more when I get home. I also can move my dogs kennels out of the “dog room” and your dog can just stay in there instead of a kennel if they are more comfortable that way. I have 5 dogs that are very active and friendly. I have a fenced in yard the dogs love to run around in and inside we have lots of toys and comfy places to take naps (which will be put up if there are problems). If I’m not at home or at night all dogs will be kenneled for safety.
“The pups were dry and happy when I got home! ☺️Thank you for visiting them today and for taking such good care of them (and for dealing with dog diapers 🤦🏽♀️)!!”
“Nadia is so sweet! We walked my two boys today to see if we could work together as regular customers, and I really loved how calm and confident she is! My dogs can be a handful and she redirected them so well. I am very glad to have found her!”
About: I've owned dogs since I was 10 years old and can't imagine life without furry family members. Puppies through senior dogs. I love taking care of clients' dogs and cats and have met wonderful pet owners who share the same passion that I have for furry family members. I dog sit and walk for family and friend's dogs when I'm available. I have experience attending dog obedience training with several dogs. Ernie is my dog and he's my little buddy and gets along with all dogs and cats. I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week and weekends so I will have time to walk or check in on your pets throughout the day as needed. Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a fenced in backyard and a nice quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for longwalks. I have reliable transportation and can travel around Topeka.
About: I raised a well-behaved and social husky/shepherd who is able to walk/run “off leash” and follow basic commands. I grew up with cats and dogs, and routinely watch the pets of family and friends; mini aussiepoodle, shitzus, boxers, terriers, other pets of varying sizes. My availability is wide open! Finishing school, and starting healthcare job in August. Looking forward to filling summer time with reading, running/cycling, and caring for your pets while you’re at work or on vacation! I am very good at following pet owners’ wishes when it comes to caring for their pets; mental stimulation with playtime, going on walks (or runs), making sure pets are provided food and water, and locking up the home afterward.
“Krystal has been walking Smokey for a couple of months now. He really likes her and seems to have fun with her. She is very friendly and always on time. I’m going to hate to see her leave.”
About: Since childhood, I have enjoyed the companionship of dogs. The first family pet I knew for nearly its entire lifetime was our rescue beagle my family adopted when I was about 8 years old. I have pet sat in the past, both overnight/in-home sitting, in addition to drop in visits to feed and let dogs outside for potty time. I have experience caring for senior pets, adults and puppies. I am available to care for your pets during weekday late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and for overnight stays with your pet(s) as well. I am comfortable crating dogs if necessary and I have some experience caring for dogs with special needs, more specifically senior dogs that have mobility challenges.
About: I definitely value how our pets live and enjoy life. I know walking is definitely a way to help dogs to not only show that we care about them, but also gives them the care they deserve. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I feel like walking after work and on the weekends would really benefit me and your dogs! While walking dogs, I would make sure to give them all the time they need to really enjoy it. Whether that means they’re sniffing around, or running around with me.
About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my world, and I’ve always connected with them deeper than most! Coming into adulthood, my first fur baby was “adopted” from my grandparents. Since then, I’ve adopted two fur babies, become a fur step mama and fostered several others! Caring for your pets the way I care for my own is my passion and a non-negotiable in my work. My current clients often refer to me as “Aunt Nae” when it comes to their fur babies, THAT is how much I mean to them and them to me! The only job I have is remote, and as necessary! So I am able to be around with and for your pets 24/7. One of my standard practices is to only leave your pet(s) for 4 hours or less, unless previously given the pet parents permission. Your pets will be treated as my own would, while following your house rules! If they’re allowed on furniture, I’ll snuggle them on the couch and in the bed! If they’re not, I respect that too! Used to getting up and walking at 5am? I’ll keep that routine! My goal is to maintain their “normal” while you are away and to be the best stand in “auntie” or caregiver for them.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking dogs and have also done overnight pet sitting for both dogs and cats from time to time. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—with love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable and confident with dogs of all kinds—big or small, shy or energetic—and always prioritize their safety and happiness. I’m a student-athlete at Washburn and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care because I truly enjoy it. My schedule is flexible around classes and work, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m great at planning ahead and will always make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets feel loved and secure. I take time to build trust with each animal and always respect their routine and space.
About: A dog has always been in my house growing up, except when I moved to lawrence to go to school/work. I learned to take care of dogs since I could walk. My first dog was a German Shepard. I learned how to brush, clean, feed, and exercise around 6 years old and have loved dogs ever since. From middle school until now I had a side gig of watching extended family/ friends dogs for the weekends, so I have worked with all types of dogs such as pit bulls, labs, Rottweilers, shorthairs, boxers, huskies, and I also have experience with small dog breeds such as pugs, terrors, mini poodles, and chihuahuas. So don’t worry about what breed of dog you have I am open to all kinds!
About: I've been blessed to help care for pets of all kinds since I was little moving around and many relatives work in pet care so I've learned there is no animal too difficult. From energetic to needy, I am excited for the opportunity to share some love. August 18th I begin my senior semester at Washburn majoring in political science as well as be on the Debate team. I volunteer at the Topeka Rescue Mission and Loud Light's community action team in my free time. I can ensure availability on Tuesday, Thur-Sun, but it never hurts to reach out for help on Wed and Mon because I can often make it work. With my experience in house sitting I have never had a negative encounter. Not only have my clients been incredibly kind, they have also been very helpful and communicated perfectly what I need to do to care best. I am a very tidy individual but my best quality that my compassion is boundless. I am happy to take on any responsibility while an individual's pet is under my care.
About: I have had my own dog for 5 years now! My family and friends also reach out to me when their furry friends need someone to hang out with! I have plenty of free time in the summer! I am a college student so will have classes during the day starting in August, but can be flexible! I will drop in at the clients house when needed! I will make sure their pet is fed and watered, and hang out and with her/him for a little bit!
About: I am an approved dog-handler at Helping Hands Humane Society. I take the dogs out. I used to be a dog-walker and pet-sitter in Nebraska, Illinois, and Colorado for 2 years. I love animals. I am in a band that raises money for animal shelters. We raised money for around 50 different local animal shelters. I would love to meet your dog! I work remotely and run my own business so I have a lot of freedom to walk dogs and work whenever I want if my schedule lines up with the dog-parent's schedule. I mainly want to do this dog-walking job because I love animals and it's good exercise. I don't have dogs but I have cats and they are extremely spoiled. If I were to walk your dogs or pet sit for you I'd treat your pets like they are my own!
