Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wakonda

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!!”

About: I've had a pet dog or 2 for my entire life. I currently have 1 rescue lab, Chloe. I have a small fenced in yard and live in the quiet town of Burbank. I come home for lunch during the week, so I can let your dog out then. Home all weekends and after 5 weekdays! Available 7 days a week. Home for lunch weekdays and all day weekends. I currently have 1 dog, a golden lab who would absolutely love the company. My current dog is super friendly and the quiet town offers lots of room to take walks and get some exercise. I do have a small fenced back yard as well.

“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”

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 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.

“Emily was fantastic—super easy to work with. Our dog came back happy and content. Would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. I use to care for the dog that I ended up adopting. I can provide walks, food, baths, lots of cuddles, attention, and awareness of situations. I am very watchful. I work full time however, my house is less than a minute walk from my place of work so I can easily check-in as much as needed. I currently have a dog who I adopted and is just the sweetest thing. I have a medium-sized dog who likes most people and dogs. I can care for your pet in your home or my own. My dog is very capable of being by herself if she needs to be. 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.

“Trudy Is awesome! We were nervous to leave our cat at first as she was young and had a bit of social anxiety, but Trudy eased all our fears. Very engaged and adaptive to pets needs and owner requests. Would highly recommend Trudy for any pet needs you have!”

About: I occasionally care for my brothers cat while he is out of town, and my friends have relied on me to care for their sweet cats when they couldn’t. I like to make sure the litter box(es) are clean at-least three times a week, make sure the house is clean, and the cat gets the best treatment with consistently full bowls!

“On time and communicated! Stayed the whole half hour and took them for a walk!”

Ofrezco conocernos con antelación para poder conocerte y a tu gato para que todos estén más cómodos. Platicaremos sobre cualquier inquietud o reglas necesarias para asegurar que todas las partes se sientan cómodas al final de la visita.

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: 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.

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.

“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.”

Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

“Ashlee and her family went above and beyond for Edie. Ashlee was flexible and great at communicating. I will be leaving Edie in her care again!”

“We're from out of town, brought our dog with us- last minute decided we wanted to go to the water park and needed someone to watch our dog for us. Mary was great and responded quickly to the request eventho it was late at night. We have never had anyone other than family watch our dog, so this was a great first experience for us!”

Savannah R.

“We love Kasey! I will always pick her to watch our fur baby when we have the chance. Our pup comes back happy & tired. Her pup is the best for ours to socialize with & I trust Kasey to treat our dog like family!”

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.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals including livestock. I've owned dogs all my life & have been trusted by family & friends to watch over their furry loved ones. Your family member is my family member. I pay attention to their needs & make sure we have a good time! I own a spayed, female, lab mix. Her name is Shadow, she's about 6years old and adopted from a shelter in California. She loves to make new friends! We also have a 1yr old male cat in the home who is great with dogs & is usually outside roaming or sleeping in his room. We hope we get the chance to meet you & your pets! It's going to be a fun time! DISCLAIMER: I only board fully house trained family members & WILL NOT accept any aggressive dogs. Payment is required prior to or upon drop off. My schedule is very flexible and I do my best to accommodate my clients. Your pet must be well behaved around children, cats and other dogs. Preferred method of contact is via text. I live in a home with a roomy yard and we make trips to the dog park often! I have a truck where they can ride in the back but they are more than welcome to ride in the cab when it's cold! 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! Growing up I always had 1-2 dogs in the house a time, all breeds too from small dogs to larger guard dogs. And of recent I have added farm animals to list of the last 3 years! I work 100% from 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.

About: I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs. I have taught my dogs how to sit. I love animals and taking care of them. I will give them the best care possible! I’m currently working part-time so my hours are very open. I’m a student here at USD staying over the summer. My dogs live in Arkansas with my parents and I miss them a lot. A few minutes with your animals will bring me happiness! I live in an apartment with no other animals but my lease doesn’t allow animals. I can easily go to your house and pet sit/walk. I have a leash and treats as well!

About: As an athlete, I bring endless energy for active dogs. Having cared for dogs for years for my family and friends, I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive to every pup’s needs. I’m currently a senior in high school and work part-time. I am looking for something fun and interesting to do on the weekends! I’m usually available any time on the weekends and some days during the week. I prioritize safety by keeping pets on secure leashes during walks and following any specific care instructions provided. I build trust through clear communication and consistent attention to your pet’s needs. In your home, I ensure a clean, comfortable environment and respect your space while giving your pet the love and care that they deserve.
