Dog Walkers in Yost, OK

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life, from playful puppies and energetic large breeds to mellow seniors and anxious rescues. What sets me apart is my calm, confident approach and genuine love for animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort. I’m experienced with: Basic puppy training, leash walking, and crate routines Senior pet care, including joint support and slow, gentle walks Administering oral and topical medications Multi-pet households and pet-sibling dynamics Enrichment game enthusiast Reinforcing good manners with patience and positive reinforcement I’m not just here to watch/walk your pet, I’m here to give them affection, structure, play, and peace of mind while you're away. You can count on me for clear communication, dependable scheduling, and lots of happy tail wags (or purrs!). I work full-time Monday through Thursday on 10-hour shifts, so I’m currently available Fridays and Saturdays for pet care. I’m looking for a meaningful way to stay active and spend time with animals on my days off, and what better way than caring for pets! I’m currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits only, and I’m committed to giving your pet the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. My schedule is consistent, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to learn your pet’s normal schedule, behaviors, and preferences so they feel secure while you're away. I respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and provide plenty of love, attention, and play during each visit. For walks, I make sure each dog is securely leashed, avoid unfamiliar dogs or hazards, and adjust the pace to suit your pet’s age, energy level, and weather conditions. I’m also confident and calm when handling dogs with reactive tendencies—I have two large dogs of my own who can be reactive, so I understand how to manage their space, redirect their focus, and walk them safely. I never put a dog in a situation where they feel overwhelmed or unsafe. Building trust, with both pets and pet parents is my top priority. I'm dependable, gentle, and treat every animal as if they were my own.

“One of our dogs got into a bag of brown sugar, and Natalie cleaned up the dog and the brown sugar mess for us. She always takes great care of our babies. She’s the best!”

“Working with Victoria has been an absolute delight! Not only is she incredibly reliable and punctual, but her genuine love and care for animals shine through in every interaction. She goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is not only getting the exercise he needs but also the attention and affection that warms my heart while I'm away. I trust her completely with my pet, and it's such a relief knowing that he's in such good hands. Five stars all the way!”

About: I volunteer at the Batesville Humane Society, and I help with grooming, making sure that your pet smells, looks, and feels good before going home! At the Humane Society, I walk the dogs and have playtime with them. I don’t mind cleaning up, if they have an accident. I can work with any kind of dog, including pit bulls and rottweilers! I currently go to oklahoma state university, and I’ll be free on the weekends and the afternoon’s during the week! During the summer, I’m available at anytime! I will take the dogs out for a walk every 2-4 hours, so they won’t be cooped up in the house for the whole day.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to wise seniors. What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I provide. I’m not just a sitter, I strive to be your pet’s second home. I’m confident following detailed feeding or grooming routines, and giving each pet the exercise and affection they need. I also know how important emotional comfort is, so I always encourage you to send your pet’s favorite toys or something that smells like home to ease anxiety. As a full-time student with a flexible job, I have a consistent daily routine and plenty of availability to dedicate to pet care. My weekends are wide open, and during the week I only have two 2-hour windows, one in the morning and one in the evening, when I’m briefly out of the house. I always ensure pets are fed, pottied, and comfortable before I leave. The rest of my day is spent around the house, making it easy to provide regular walks, cuddles, and playtime! Although I currently live in an apartment, I provide a calm, cozy, and crate-free home environment. Pets are welcome to lounge on the couch, explore freely, or cuddle up in their bed. If a pet has anxiety or special needs, I’ll work closely with the owner to create the most reassuring setup possible. I maintain constant communication with owners through photos and updates and follow every care instruction down to the last detail.

I can exercise and play with high energy pets while also being able to sit there and hangout with the calm, laid back ones. It isn't a problem for me to give medications or help with daily brushing. I am trustful and will be able to build a bond with your little fur babies. During the summer months I have a fairly open schedule. Once school begins my schedule is a bit more restricted, but still feel free to reach out! I am capable of giving any medication and willing to follow the owners instructions. I only offer day care and boarding, not house sitting, since I have 2 dogs of my own.

About: I am a current veterinary student at OSU and would love to help care for your pets! I have been working in veterinary medicine since 2021 and have been pet sitting for over a year. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats. I am also comfortable with oral or injectable medicine, subcutaneous fluids, and inhalers. My schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to be available for pet sitting when needed! I will always prioritize my clients’ and their pets’ needs. I make sure to go slow with any new pet I interact with and read their body language and work with them and at their level. My top priority is to make sure everybody is happy and comfortable.

About: With a degree in Animal Science and over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide expert, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve raised neonatal kittens, cared for senior pets, and interned at veterinary clinics, giving me the skills to handle medications, monitor health changes, and comfort pets with anxiety or special needs. Whether it’s training a curious puppy, giving extra love to a shy senior cat, or keeping routines consistent, I treat every pet like family—because they deserve nothing less. Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily life. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote the time and attention each pet deserves—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. Caring for animals is not just something I do; it’s something I truly enjoy. From feeding and litter box maintenance to playtime and enrichment, I approach each task with care and consistency. Since I don't have a full-time job outside of this work, I can ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care, just as if they were my own. I offer attentive, in-home care at your place to ensure your pets stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or just spending quality time with your pets.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: As a first-year vet student at OSU, I have had an abundance of experience handling and caring for all sorts of furry friends! My background includes (but is not limited to) working at a vet clinic back home for over 4 years, working at a boarding/day-care facility in Stillwater for a year, and pet sitting for friends/family. I have also owned pets my whole life! I currently have a hamster, but back home I have cats, dogs, and horses. I would be honored to take care of any fluff ball you send my way - big or small! Although I am in vet school, I still have a very flexible schedule for taking care of your pet's needs. My early mornings, lunches, and afternoon/evenings would be free for checking in/caring for the furry friend in question. Weekends are open unless I have anything planned ahead of time which I would make sure to communicate with the owner upon booking. When it comes to pet-sitting, your dog or cat will be my priority! I will make sure I am there to take the dog out 2-4 times a day at least. If weather is nice and the pet is cooperative, I would love to take them for a walk or get some play time outside. I'm open to giving them cuddles or any other activity they would enjoy!

About: I am a current veterinary student with 5+ years of vet tech experience. I myself have a reactive dog and am happy to provide care to all animals even one with a few more needs than others. I am well versed on medicine administration such as, eye drops, oral medication, creams, and injections. Currently I am a full time student and weekends I am free. During the week day I am free after 6 pm. Proper care is vital to me. I prefer to spend a minimum of an hour with the morning and evening visit. I believe that even if the pet is trusted in the house alone and is self sufficient that quality time with a sitter is important. I ask that a meet and greet happens prior to the pet sitting to ensure that it would be a good fit for the pet, yourself and myself.

About: From chickens to bunnies to cows to dogs, I have a range of experiences watching and taking care of pets. I love dogs and have grown up taking care of them, including both senior dogs and puppies. I have a fairly flexible schedule being in college, and will be able to work with you based on your needs for your animals. I am willing to work around my schedule at any cost to help you. In my home pets are a top priority. Growing up with all different kinds of animals has taught me many lessons. I believe animals must be treated kindly and you must be patient.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life and have extensive personal experience with pets that have medical conditions and disabilities. I also am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have over 500 hours of practical experience. Taking care of your animals is my top priority and main focus. I am consistently available all summer long and am dedicated to giving your animals the care and attention they need. I am prepared to learn your animals routine and approach their care in their environment and on their level. Ensuring your pets comfortability and happiness is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve always had a soft place in my heart for all animals In fact I made studying them my degree! I currently work four nights a week it is overnight with my dog I take her for a walk before I leave and I’m back before she’s awake! Other than that my schedule is flexible to the need of the pet. I have a yard and a xl kennel if your pet needs or likes to be in one. I often take my dog to boomer lake for walks as it is only down the street and could offer that to yours as well.

“Alison definitely cares about animal; her authenticity and professionalism while caring for wishbone is unparalleled compared to other dog walking services.”

About: I've had an extensive animal family with dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, chickens, ducks, geese, turtles, fish, rats and hamsters. I have been taking care of animals since I was about 12, when my neighbors started hiring me every year to care for their pupper each time they went on vacation. I loved it! Connecting with animals is my favorite thing to do! I am currently self-employed, and only work some evenings. This leaves me all day long to tend to your pets and give them the best undivided attention they deserve! I will make sure your pet is set up for the best care possible! I will ask about allergies, medications, walks, toys, grooming, phone numbers and make an emergency plan with you so you can relax while you're away - I'll even send you updates and photos if you'd like!

About: This is a somewhat lengthy read; I would like to be as thorough as possibly by covering information you need to know as well as pertinent info you might like to have. As a long time animal lover, I’ve been petsitting since I could drive. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, and other animals as well. I have looked after animals my whole life and plan to continue doing so, your pets are in good hands. I will do everything in my ability to see to that your precious companion(s) are cared for, safe, and comfortable. This includes walks and I will do my best to accommodate any special requests you may have. I know odd and unexpected situations pop up all the time, from family emergencies to last minute date nights, and while my notice preference is typically at least two days, I promise to hear anything out and give it careful consideration. Don’t be scared to ask me any questions! I am a full-time student, and have a flexible job. This makes for a reasonably consistent schedule that I can plan accordingly around. Naturally, I will check in as often as my schedule allows (I can make time as often as every few hours) and as often as you deem necessary (within reason). My weekends are largely free and flexible, so I am able to provide the best care at all times. I live in a house with a large open backyard in a rather quiet neighborhood (perfect for walks!). I do live among 2 cats, 1 of whom is rather skittish and non-confrontational as well as 1 who is insatiably curious and playful. Your pets are in no danger from them. I would greatly prefer to just visit your home for the comfort and general safety of all parties, but will try to meet whatever needs or preferences you may have. You’re the owner—you know what’s best for your animals. Feedings, medications, exercise, grooming, and quality time, and whatever else will be given in whatever amounts and frequency you ask. If at any time you get a hunch, trust your gut! I will reassure you at any time with pictures and updates; your trust and animals’ safety are invaluable to me. To further put your at ease, I have a very responsible housemate who is often home when I am not and would not let anything unusual or worrying go unattended. If you happen to forget any supplies (it happens), I would not let the quality in your pet’s care waver. Having pets, the peace of mind I get from knowing something as preventable and fixable as forgetting a bag of kibble or a leash would be taken care of is a lifesaver, and I would be remiss to not extend that to fellow pet owners. I’ll be in touch to answer any and all questions; I look forward to hearing from you -Rachel

About: My family got our first dog when I was in 3rd grade and I haven’t been without one since. I have successfully potty trained and taught basic obedience to 2 of my own dogs along with training my own Service Dog. I am happy to help with basic training to make sure your dog is set up for a successful life! While I have helped raise and love multiple puppies, I could never forget about the seniors. I would love to help keep your senior dog in their best shape, whether that be exercise or providing medication. From the beginning to end I am here for your dog. I am currently a full time college student with a little extra time on her hands. My most open days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and my weekends are always flexible. I follow ALL guidelines set by the owner. I do not hit or use any form of harsh correction. Dogs will always stay on leash outside of the home unless we are in an owner approved safe area (backyard, dog park, etc.)
