Dog Walkers in Bates City, MO

About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

“Tiffany is AMAZING!! Mater looked for here every day for his walk and to chill on the couch with her. She is always available and communicates really well!! She takes pictures and leaves treats even! She treats our Mater like her own pup. Couldn’t ask for a better pet walker!!!!”

“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have walked. watched and bathed many pets (especially dogs) for people over the years. I really love animals so much so I am going into veterinary school. I have helped raise puppies so I know how to deal with the little ones and I right now I have a 13 year old dog so I know how to take care of the seniors. I am currently going to school in the mornings so I have lots of free afternoons to walk pups! Right now I am only offering walks as I have a senior dog at home who gets nervous around canine company. This could be subject to change depending on the situation, so you can always ask! I am only offering walks right now. I love all dogs and will always make sure your pup is having fun, getting some good exercise and staying hydrated!

“Baylee always gives are pup a solid walk!! Thank you!”

“Heidi was so fantastic! After I had surgery I needed a lot of help with my Shih Tzu and she was there at a moment's notice for any and every need Spanky and I had. I could tell she really cared about him and was very gentle with him. I would highly recommend her!”

“Kathleen was great in taking care of our two somewhat needy pups. She took them for a nice long walk and was very quick and frequent in communication. I will come back to Kathleen for future walks!”

About: I've been pet sitting for about three years now, petsitting many different breeds such as Danes, Australian Shepards, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and German Shepards. I love big dogs and grew up constantly around Great Danes and Mastiffs. I've also raised three puppies over the years and been involved in basic care, walking, playing, and potty training. Animals are my whole life and I'm getting certified in dog grooming starting in August, so I'm available for a large amount of time over the summer! Currently, I'm looking to pet sit full time! I am available on almost any day of the week (and weekend!) and can come at any time needed during this summer. I will always make sure your fur babies are fed, have water at all times, get any specific meds (if needed), are played with as much as possible, and are plenty loved! I will treat your animals as if they were my own, making sure they are consistently happy and healthy. I also strive to make your return back home as stress-free as possible and often vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up before leaving!

About: I have over two years of experience working in a dog boarding facility, where I developed strong skills in animal care, supervision, and handling dogs of all temperaments. I am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician degree, further expanding my knowledge and passion for animal care. In addition, I have provided trusted house and dog sitting services through personal recommendations and referrals. I genuinely love working with dogs and plan to dedicate my career to caring for and improving the lives of animals. A dog fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Incorporating a dog into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide them with the attention and structure they need throughout the week. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While dog sitting, I make sure pets maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I always keep owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where dogs feel happy and secure while their owners are away.

About: Hello there! I'm so glad you found my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who has been drawing horses since I could hold a crayon, and I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. We had rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, cats, dogs, and horses at various times while I was growing up, and my childhood dream was to have lots of cats and lots of horses some day. Well I currently have 3 cats and 1 horse, so that's something! Haha. We also have two ducks and are planning to get more shortly. We've had as many as 5 at a time in the past. I've had pets of my own since my college days, and not surprisingly after having so many animals in my life, I ended up getting my degree in Animal Science! I also volunteered at the local Humane Society walking dogs while in college, and cared for pigs, poultry, horses, cows, and more rodents throughout my education. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel for a time after college. These days my animal care is mostly directed at my own pets, but you can never have enough animals in your life in my opinion, and so here I am, ready to spoil your fur babies for you if you need! I currently work from home 3 days a week and am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule during those days as well. That means I can take the time now and then to drop in and check on your pets for you if you need some extra help while you're away! Whenever I drop-in on your pets, I will stick to the routines you already have established for them at home to minimize any stress, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone! But I will also definitely take the time to give them plenty of pets and play-time too, if that's something they would love! ^_^

About: I have had dogs my whole life and would constantly take them for walks and care for them. I love animals they make me feel happy! I'm currently a college athlete with a part-time job. I am comfortable around any dog and willing to work when I have the openings. I am excited to learn about your dog and what needs to be learned when becoming buddies with your furry friend :) We have a fenced yard, keep eyes on the pets, and make sure they are comfortable and happy with the environments they are in and safe.

About: I have taken care of many animals from big dogs to puppies and everywhere in between. I enjoy any and all fur babies they make my heart happy. I am flexible to whatever your needs are to make you feel most comfortable and to make your pup happy. Whenever or whatever you need I am willing to accommodate to. I am reliable and will cater to the best of my ability for your needs. I am trustworthy and am good at communicating on how your puppy did during our time together.

About: I have a love for all animals and I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve also had fish and hamsters. I’m open to learning more. I’m interested in pet care full-time or part-time. I would love to care for pets from a nice, COVID-safe and comfortable household. I’m able to take on more than one job without conflicting schedules. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages. They are 7 and up, all the way to 14. The older cats do not require medicine but do not have bladder control. I have one dog that I take for walks and let out in my backyard.

About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over the years. My oldest dog is 14 years old and has some health issues so I am very familiar with all the healthcare requirements. We recently got a puppy as well so I’m very familiar with young pups as well! I currently work from home so I’m very flexible in being able to do daily walks, overnight stays, and daily check ins. I regularly go for walks with my dog and would love to add to my routine! My oldest dog is a grumpy old man so he’s pretty easy to work with. I love to spoil my dogs with treats but enjoy taking them out for walks and making sure they get their daily exercise too. I’m a huge animal lover!

“Mackenzie is one of pepper’s favorite people and for good reason. She is so thoughtful by bringing food treats and water and making sure she has plenty of time to smell around and also get some miles in.”

About: I had a dog a few years ago when I was young but unfortunately we had to let him go. My love for animals has always been strong and over the years I have regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs during that time, including both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. While I have limited experience with cats, I’m open to caring for them and excited to learn more if given the opportunity. I work a part-time job and work only 2-3 days a week so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, so I can accommodate a variety of needs, including extended stays or last-minute bookings. I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I absolutely love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and has a sweet, stress-free time while in my care.

About: I’m extremely patient and caring with each dog or other pets I take care of. I’ve helped friends & family over the years with their own! Pets are an important part of the family and should be treated as such. I work part time currently so my schedule is very flexible and negotiable to spend time with your pets. I make sure to prioritize care so you can rest assured your pups are getting all the love and care they need! I always talk with whoever pets I’m taking care of about their routines at home and what is the environment their most comfortable with. Even with fenced in yards I’ll stand outside and make sure everything is ok while also giving dogs company.

“We did a meet and greet first, and Katie was very professional, asked all the right questions and very sweet. My puppy LOVES her, butt one of my older dogs was scared, so she offered to walk her with her brother at the same time and they did great! Very happy with Katie, and already booked another appointment.”

About: I love animals - cats, dogs, and more! I've taken care of them all my life. Some call me a "cat whisperer" and dogs love me too. 🐾 I am energetic and fun, love going for walks and hikes and playing fetch. We have a dog at home - Jack, a pit-lab mix, who gets along with other dogs and 3 children ages 3-13, so friendly and social dogs only please. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time for walks and playdates. Most days work just fine for me for walks and boarding. I have a fenced in yard with ample space to play. I have 1 dog and 3 animal-loving children, so your doggo won't ever feel lonely. I love to give treats, go on walks and play. Comfortable crating.

About: Experience caring for all creatures from livestock to small animals. I love all animals, and I am happy to make their routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to walk and play outside as well as stay in and snuggle on the couch. What ever your pets need, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible for your fur kids! I am more than happy to send updates and photos as often as you would like, I know how great it can be to see them when you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am currently working remote Tuesday through Friday and have the ability to complete dog-walks or drop in visits for all species during those days. I always strive to make pets feel as comfortable as possible during our interactions, and stick to their routines as much as possible. From crate training to play time my goal is to have pets enjoy their time spent with me.
