Dog Walkers in Yankton, SD

About: I love taking great care of people's pets so they do not have to worry about their fur babies while away from home. I began pet-sitting as an Airman in the early '90s at Malmstrom AFB MT as a way to earn extra money and get out of the dorms for awhile. Since then I have continued to pet sit for friends and family, and regularly walked my neighbor's dog when I lived in Rapid City. I have two cats of my own. Pre-Covid, I was volunteering at the shelter a couple of times per week to feed & play with the cats, and walk/play with the dogs. You won't be disappointed if you select me as the person who gets to keep your pet happy in your absence! I work full-time but am able to drop in early in the morning, on my lunch hour, or in the evenings. It's important to me that your pets are taken care of in your absence! I will feed, walk, and play with your pup. If we're outside of a fenced area they will always be on a leash. If we're chilling inside I'll usually talk to them or play music while we play to help them feel comfortable. I have cats of my own, so if I'm taking care of your cat I am prepared to be completely ignored by them. :-)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or nervous dogs feel comfortable and safe. I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of attention, belly rubs, and playtime! What sets me apart is my patience, calm approach, and ability to read each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, gentle cuddles, or special care, I make sure they feel right at home. I also understand the importance of routine and will follow your care instructions closely. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priority! I’m a stay-at-home mom with plenty of free time and a love for animals! Aside from the occasional grocery trip, I’m home all day and would be honored to care for your pup as part of our family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to a special routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family! I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pups can relax and feel comfortable. I always supervise playtime and make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any special instructions you provide and send regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

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’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.

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 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.
