“Very happy with Dustyn so far. He is quick to respond to requests, respectful, punctual, and somehow gets our dog to walk quicker with him than with us 😉 Theodore seems happy with Dustyn so we are too.”

“Nadia was absolutely amazing. She was patient with me while booking as I had some questions. She did not hesitate to video chat and help reassure me everything would be fine with my concerns. When she actually came to walk Lumi she brought her doggy too which made my puppy feel a lot better. Nadia sent pictures, updates, and any information that would make me feel like Lumi was safe and had a great time. She also helped Lumi learn new tips during his walk. You can tell Nadia has experience with dogs of many ages. I’ll definitely be using Nadia again in the future when I need help and if you’re reading this you should not hesitate to book her for your doggy needs!”

About: I have always since I was a kid DREAMED of getting all different kinds of animals. I currently own 3 different species of geckos/lizards and love all animals! I have done lots of research on my own of all different types of animals and do regularly! I am a college student online so I want to be working part time. I can always go to watch your animal and care for them and do my schoolwork on my computer if that would work for you. In most circumstances I can come care for the animals at the clients home. I can be trusted to stick to your schedule/instructions for your animals daily needs and will always respect the privacy of your home.

About: I have been dealing with dogs and other animals my whole life and I feel very confident in my ability to take care of them without struggle. I am a part-time college student, which leaves a lot of spare time to take care of whatever the animal may need and still maintain a healthy work-life balance. I will make sure to follow the instructions left to me by the owner and provide updates if needed. Also, I’ll make sure that when you return to your pet that they will be a happy and taken care of animal.

About: A former animal shelter kennel with previous experience in a structured doggy daycare setting. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do occasionally — it’s part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with kennel packs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and stepping in when needed. Whether a dog needs redirection, reassurance, or just a little space, I pay attention. I naturally keep an eye on health and behavior. If a dog’s appetite changes, their energy feels off, or something just doesn’t seem right, I notice. Animals can’t tell us when they’re not feeling their best, so being observant matters to me. Enrichment is important to me as well. Beyond playtime, I’ve provided structured group play, one-on-one attention, scent activities, toy rotation, and quiet rest time. Every dog is different, and I adjust based on what helps them feel comfortable and balanced. Cleaning and sanitation are part of my daily routine, so maintaining a safe, clean space is second nature. I’m familiar with proper kennel protocols and safe disinfectant use to keep everyone healthy. I’m also very comfortable with feeding routines. Measuring portions, following specific instructions, and understanding appropriate daily intake for both dogs and cats is something I’ve done consistently through my work. Outside of my professional roles, I’m the founder and minister of a church for animals, Heimey’s Home Animal Sanctuary, here in Topeka. Building and leading this work has given me experience with animals in many different stages of life, including those who need extra patience, structure, and steady care. When you leave your pet with me, they’re not just being watched. They’re with someone who does this work every day and truly respects the responsibility of caring for someone else’s animal. Being that having an animal sanctuary and working at an animal shelter is my daily life, pet care fits into every moment of every day. I don't get burned out on it as this is my passion. It's something that I enjoy doing. I'm available most days for at home visits and sitting at your house! I currently run an at home church for animals, a residential animal sanctuary that is growing in presents online steadily by the name of Heimey's Home Animal Sanctuary. I apply all of my work knowledge at home but I do soften it due to it being a home setting. My animals get consistent hands on care, enrichment and play. Food bowls and water bowls are always filled, litter boxes are always tended to. Our dog gets walked every single day. She gets daily enrichment as well. I make sure to line up their medical care the best that I can. My life is animal caregiving so this is projected in everything that I do.

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.
About: I love all pets, but I have a particular affinity for special needs pets. When my own pup was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy, I dedicated myself to giving him the best care, and ultimately, the best life possible. Pets are beloved members of the family and I promise to love and care for your pets as if they are my own. I welcome all shapes, sizes, and abilities. I provide boarding and house sitting services. Whichever you choose, please know that your pet will be given the best care and so much love! I find that pets are generally more comfortable in their own space. I am happy to visit yours! My schedule is quite flexible and I am open to long-term set schedules or the occasional drop-in. I try my best to keep my calendar updated. I currently do not offer boarding services, however, you can be sure that both your home and your beloved pet will be safe with me.

About: I've had experience with both small and large dogs. I can handle taking large dogs out for walks, playing with them when they need attention, and even cleaning up puke for any more elderly dogs that struggle holding their meal in. I have experience administering medication, as well as overnight experience for when your dogs feel extra lonely and need a friend at night. My passion is animals, so being able to provide your pets with the care they need while you're gone makes me happy! I'm currently a full time college student at K-State. I'm usually pretty busy Mon, Wed, Fri from 10am-4pm and Tues, Thurs from 11am-2pm. I'm completely free during early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I have a dog at home that I would regularly take out on walks, make sure he has food and water available, and of course provide attention as he's getting older and more needy. I regularly dogsit for my Aunt, so when I stay at her home I let the dogs out to her fenced backyard to do their business. She also has specific diets they're on so I take the time to prepare their food twice a day, making sure they have water constantly.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs from the time I was 10 and everything from a St Bernard to cats. I can ensure you that your pet will be cared and lived for while they are with me. I currently work from home and can provide around the clock watch care. When I’m not working I like to spend my time with my cat and dog. For drop in care I can take your dog on walks or whatever you would like. If it is overnight care in my home they can have as much outside time or as little as they like. I have a fenced yard as well. I do not provide overnight care at the clients home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a very long time. I own a cockapoo named BaeLee and she is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. I take care of my family’s and friend’s dogs all the time from watching them, playing with them, feeding them, and walking them. I am very good with dogs and can be very patient if I need to be. I take care of my pup daily. From the time I wake up until I go to sleep I am always attentive to her needs. Every now and then I’ll take care of my uncles dog throughout the day and take him out every two hours. I am very nice and patient with animals. I love to pet them and play fetch or tug of war. I do not like to touch other’s things when I go to their houses and I respect their rules. I don’t do what I wouldn’t like done in my home to other’s homes.
