Dog Walkers in Watson, KS

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for pets since childhood. I grew up with both cats and dogs, including a Maltese, and currently share my home with an Australian Shepherd–Brittany Spaniel mix and my cat Josie. I have rescued two former outdoor/stray cats who I named Mabel and Astrid. One lives with my Grandpa while the other was given to my cousin! My favorite side-quests are animal rescuing! 😄 Alongside this, I’ve raised puppies and kittens of all ages, cared for senior pets, given medication, and even rescued a squirrel once (my ultimate side quest!). As said, I’ve occasionally helped strays by feeding and socializing them over the years, which has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read animal body language. Professionally, I work in the behavioral health field, with over five years in Applied Behavioral Analysis as a behavior tech and a year as a mental health therapist student. I naturally apply those skills when working with animals by reading into the “unsaid.” Whether that is helping an anxious dog feel safe, reinforcing positive behaviors, or calmly navigating new environments, I am ready! I understand that pets are family. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel fully at ease while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, cuddles, or space, I’m attentive to their individual personality and needs, and I genuinely love making sure every furry friend feels happy and understood. I am available to provide pet care services anytime between May 12 and July 12, 2026. During this period, I can accommodate flexible schedules and multiple visits per week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I prioritize consistency and routine for pets, ensuring they receive regular feeding, exercise, and attention. After July 13, 2026, I will be working full-time and will only be able to accept a limited number of clients for very minimal days, so I plan to carefully manage my schedule to maintain high-quality care and attention for each pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. I ensure secure spaces, supervise playtime, and maintain a calm and structured routine. I tailor care to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means cuddles, exercise, or quiet time. I am attentive to subtle behavioral cues and changes, thanks to my background in behavioral health, and I always communicate clearly with pet owners to ensure they feel confident and comfortable with my care.

“We have had a Great experience. Justine has been a huge help and Casey really enjoys her visit with her .”

About: As a school teacher off for the summer, I would love to help other pet parents have a wonderful, worry-free summer experience knowing their family members are in great hands! I’ve been a passionate pet owner my entire life and currently have two sweet little Chihuahuas of my own, so I know exactly how much love, patience, and attention our 4-legged companions need. I truly love all animals, treat every guest pup like a member of my own family, and can't wait to meet my new summer fur babies! As a school teacher, I am completely off for the summer and have an open, flexible schedule! This means I am available to provide your pup with companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a dedicated walking routine or daytime attention, my schedule revolves entirely around making sure they have a fun, safe, and active summer vacation of their own. When caring for your fur baby in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. As a dependable lifelong pet owner and school teacher, you can trust that I will strictly follow your established routines, keep a close eye on your dog, and ensure all doors and gates are fully secure during my visits. I provide reliable, loving care—from structured feeding and fresh water setups to safe, supervised playtime—giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like a member of my own family.

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.

“I have just started using Hannah as my dog walker. She is pleasant and reachable. I know my dog Gus is in good caring hands when she is with him.”

About: I've been working in the dog care industry for at least 10 years! Certified through Animal Behavior College,(abcdt) 2014 and the Council of professional dog trainers (ccpdt) since 2017. I can train your dog or just snuggle them and play with them! I am working towards going full time care taker so that I can build my clientele. As of now I work full time at a doggie day care as their manager and dog trainer and will be decreasing my hours as my clients increase! I can travel to your home or bring your best friend to mine! I have a very large fenced in back yard, and a very friendly dog. A few kennels for rest time as well.

About: I have done drop in visits, farm sitting, dog grooming, equine care, and taken care of many animals. I have at least 10 references. Love all the animals and will treat them with love and respect. I own a mobile dog grooming business so can make my own schedule. I have my farm animals but I have help from family to care for mine when I’m needed elsewhere. I prefer to let the animals be in their own home as they seem less stressed knowing they will be where there family will be coming back to. They have their comfortable spots and smells and doesn’t disrupt their routine but if necessary I could care for them at my home. Would walk smaller dogs on leash outside or have outdoor pens for larger dogs to get to run.

“Responded quickly and on short notice. Willing to take a night walk. Super professional and friendly.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, including those who are shy or slow to warm up. I’ve worked closely with behavioral specialists, so I’m comfortable reading dog body language, following care instructions, and managing different routines or environments. Whether your pup needs a friendly face for walks, check-ins, or companionship while you’re away, I take pride in providing thoughtful, stress-free care. I’m organized, attentive to details, and always prioritize safety and comfort—wherever your dog is happiest. Remote job, flexible schedule. Monday-Friday only, weekends are generally open outside of planned events and activities. I finish work at 5pm daily, but it's a very adaptable work routine. When it comes to care routines, I'm consistent and structured. I typically do potty breaks at minimum every two hours and provide walks one to two times daily, adjusting the length based on each dog's energy level and preferences. Fresh water and food are always available unless you specify otherwise. I keep my own dog separate from visiting dogs unless they've had time to become familiar with each other, which helps everyone feel more secure.

About: I have had my own personal dogs for a little over a year. But I have been pet sitting for longer than that. I am able to work on training that has been set in place and I am able to help care for senior dogs. I have had cats my entire life so I am capable of cleaning out litter boxes and playing with the cats with toys. I am currently working part time as a kitchen assistant so I am only available at certain times during the week. Also there are some days where I will have to work full time and sometimes my schedule changes the day of. I would try to keep any previous schedule that had been set for the client’s pets. I would walk and play with them as necessary. It would be my goal to make this easy on both the owners and the pets.

“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 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: 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: I have taken care of dogs for the majority of my life. I’ve grown up with them in many parts of my family and i’ve also taken care of family-friends animals when needed! I have no problems with providing animals with the care they deserve! I am currently working full time as a Waitress/Bartender! I have three dogs of my own that I take care of during my off time! My schedule does vary week to week, but it can also be flexible! I currently live in an apartment. I love taking my dogs on walks or to the dog parks around town. I also love just sitting outside with them on my porch and enjoying the weather!
