Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wakonda

“So thankful for Mary and her availability this weekend! We traveled in and needed somewhere for our fur baby to stay, and she was so willing on a last minute notice. The updates sent throughout the day reassured me he was in good hands! Her communication is clear and I know I’ll suggest in the future for any of our traveling friends in the future. Thank you again Mary ❤️ wishing many blessings for you!”

“We cannot thank Kelley enough for taking the best of care of our kiddos. Any concern we had of sending our 2 senior dogs to another persons house were immediately resolved when we met Kelley at her home. She gave frequent updates along with pictures so it never felt we were too far from them. Kelley was incredibly flexible when our plans changed and we were much appreciative of that. We were so impressed with Kelley we travelled 45 minutes for her attentive care. We would hands down book again with Kelley in a heartbeat.”

“Tony was fantastic, he treated our dog just like his own, my dog is very very high energy and is a breed a lot of people are afraid to take care of and he had no problems taking care of her, he sent me photos and videos and my dog was so happy and was having a lot of fun, Tony was ok with giving my dog her medicine she needs daily, Tony and his family were Jems! My dog can be extra and she is hard to handle at times due to her strength so I was nervous taking her to anyone until I got to his house and instantly knew my dog was in good hands, I will definitely be using his services again! I HIGHLY recommend Tony, you can tell this is his passion! Thank you so much Tony for taking such great care of our Maizy dog!!!”

“She was very sweet, sent me pictures of my baby, always keeping me updated. Took her on walks to nice places and made sure she was comfortable, made the process very easy and will work with your schedule of things. Great pet sitter <3”

About: I have experience working with pets coming from broken homes and showing them how to be a dog again! Dogs deserve to always be loved! I work during the week around 8 hours. The rest of my time is spent with my own fur babies, loving and playing with them! I have a fenced in yard that provides lots of room for playing and running with two dogs of my own to keep them company.

About: I have loved animals since I was old enough to walk. I’ve always been drawn to them. I currently work in a vet clinic where I get to fulfill my passion and would love to be able to take care of your pets :) I work 4 days a week right now but I am looking for a little extra money to put aside for a new car eventually! I have two friendly dogs and a cat that would love to keep your fur baby company (the cat not so much) and I want to love on them just like you!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for just about every kind of pet you can imagine — dogs, cats, bunnies, chinchillas, birds, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my home and my heart. I’m comfortable with all personalities, all sizes, and all needs. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s the only way I know how to care for them. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I prioritize the pets I’m caring for, so I’m able to adjust my day around their needs — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate last-minute or recurring bookings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely — feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, potty breaks, and preferred playtime activities. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-supervised, and I always take extra time for love, attention, and enrichment. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

I can provide walks, food, baths, lots of cuddles, attention, and awareness of situations. I am very watchful.

I also am good at giving dogs long walks, providing attentive care, and plenty of exercise. I do not have a yard but I will right across from a huge open space that your dog will love to play in.

Tricia S.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs from the time I was 8 to present. I own big dogs and love making them happy. I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs, friends and family to include feeding, walking, bathing and dropping in on their pets from time to time. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule to drop-In on pets and/or walk your furry loved ones. I enjoy the outdoors and long walks and would love the company of a furry friend. Also, what animal doesn’t love stretching their legs and enjoying the outdoors. That’s my goal, let them get some exercise in this crazy busy world. Currently, I’m in the middle of a move so I would like to stick to walking and drop-in care for dogs. Hoping to have a fenced in back yard when house closes.

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.

About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.

“Kelley was such a kind person that put me at ease when taking care of Nala. We got updates throughout the day and came home to a tired, well taken care of puppy. I definitely would recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a quality, caring dog sitter.”

My son & I provide LOTS of cuddles!

About: I have a been a pet owner since I was born practically. From Bunnies, dogs, birds, hamsters, almost everything that can thrive a home!

So I am able to play, feed and love the animals all day long and give great exercise to them on the property. I have a black lab who is extra friendly with other dogs! I am able to also kennel your dog during the day when no one is in the home as well.
