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.”

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.

About: With nearly a decade of hands-on dog training experience and a genuine passion for animal care, I bring a unique blend of expertise and compassion to pet sitting. My background includes meaningful work at an animal shelter, where I developed a deep understanding of dogs and cats with diverse temperaments—and I particularly thrive working with animals that need extra patience and trust-building. As someone who lives on a farm, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and understand their individual needs. When your dog visits, they'll enjoy safe outdoor time in a secure, fenced area where they can play freely and comfortably. I approach every animal with both patience and gentle firmness, creating an environment where they feel secure and cared for. Your furry family member won't just be looked after—they'll be loved and understood. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day and can provide attentive, flexible care for your dog and/or cat whenever you need it. Whether it's a quick midday visit, an extended playdate, or overnight care, I can accommodate your schedule without the constraints of a traditional work day. Being home means your pet gets consistent attention, regular bathroom breaks, and the comfort of a calm, nurturing environment. I can also be responsive to last-minute requests or changes—something that's often difficult for sitters with rigid schedules. Your dog will receive the same patient, loving care I give to my own animals, with the added benefit of my availability and flexibility as a stay-at-home caregiver. I offer comprehensive pet care services tailored to what works best for you and your pet. Here's how I approach each: Boarding & Pet Sitting at My Home Your pet will be part of our family during their stay. I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor time in our secure fenced area. My farm setting offers a peaceful atmosphere where dogs can relax and enjoy enrichment activities. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. Pet Sitting at Your Home I visit your home to care for your pet in their familiar environment, which many animals prefer. I follow your established routines and care instructions closely, ensuring minimal disruption. I provide exercise, companionship, and all necessary care while also keeping an eye on your home—a reassuring bonus when you're away. Dog Walking I offer energizing walks tailored to your dog's age, energy level, and temperament. Whether your pup needs a brisk adventure or a leisurely neighborhood stroll, I ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need while you're busy. House Sitting When you travel, I stay at your home to care for your pets and watch over your property. Your dog gets consistent, attentive care in their own space, and you have peace of mind knowing both your pet and home are in trusted, capable hands. No matter which service you choose, your pet receives patient, loving care and the individual attention they deserve.

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.”

About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. 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.

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 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.

I accept bookings for all pets no matter the age, breed, or size! Thank you for considering my services! 🐾💗 I am home most all of the time and am flexible with any routine!
