Dog Walkers in Boonville, MO

“Jennifer was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”

About: I grew up on a farm where our pets were always family members and treated with love and respect. I have two rescue dogs myself. I am happy to keep my dogs separated from clients. I am fortunate that my parents have a farm and welcome their grand pups in case of overlaps in sittings. My girls do great with most other pets, however I understand every animal has their own personality and comfort zone. I respect and do things on the owner and the pet’s terms. I strive to provide an experience where you feel you are leaving your loved ones with people who care as much as you. I worked the corporate world since college and decided I would take a break and enjoy a summer with my own fur babies. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for close friends and family. I quickly received more requests by word of mouth with my flexible schedule this summer. I am currently working on starting my own company for pet products making my schedule open and flexible! I live in Boonville, MO. I attend regularly conservation areas, dog parks, and my parents wooded farm outside of Glasgow, MO. My home is an apartment. I have an outdoor deck with stairs that access a private fenced in area that is pet safe. My home is equipped with a dog door for my own pups to use at their leisure along with security cameras. Plus I am only a block from Katy Trail access!

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for over four years, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. Growing up with three dogs and three cats, I developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I’m skilled in walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and providing enrichment activities to keep pets happy and healthy. My experience extends to both energetic breeds and more relaxed companions, ensuring they receive the right balance of exercise, care, and affection. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 PM, with flexible hours to accommodate early mornings or late evenings when needed. Your pets will have my full attention, whether it’s for a short walk, extended playtime, or overnight stays. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your pet company. My home is pet-proofed, with safe spaces for both active play and rest. I can easily crate your dog upon request, follow any special feeding or medication instructions, and maintain constant supervision to ensure their safety. Cleanliness, comfort, and a loving environment are my top priorities.

About: I am not afraid to give medications, I walk as long as the client desires, I don't cut corners with the care I offer. I make my clients' schedules my priority. Pet-sitting is a full-time passion for me. My schedule is basically open. Filling my time with pet- and house- care also fills my heart. This is what I love, helping people and the animals in their lives. I get all the vet and emergency info when I first meet the client. I ask about plant care, mail retrieval, the pets' typical schedule, and locations of important and necessary items for the animals' care. I take care of things the way I would want my own house and pets taken care of.

About: I’m a devoted animal caretaker with over 25 years of hands-on experience and a deep, intuitive connection to animals of all kinds. I’m neurodivergent and have always felt tuned into the emotional world of animals — I pick up on subtle cues, communicate calmly, and adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I was raised on a farm in my early childhood, surrounded by horses, pigs, donkeys, and goats. As a teenager, I spent time working with unridable horses — the so-called “lost causes.” I developed a reputation for being able to build trust and connection with animals that others couldn’t reach. That same ability has carried into my work with dogs and cats: I’m kind of an animal whisperer. I don’t dominate or control — I listen, observe, and build safety through relationship. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from high-energy herding dogs to elderly chows needing stroller walks and patience. I frequently care for my mom’s brilliant, high-needs zuchon, and I’ve helped rescue dogs like my silky terrier recover from severe neglect and trauma. I currently live with three cats I raised from kittenhood and have experience with bottle babies and end-of-life medical care. I’ve supported cats through kidney failure and can administer subcutaneous hydration fluids while you’re away, if needed. Whether your pet is anxious, reactive, elderly, or just wonderfully weird, I meet them exactly where they are — and give them the kind of care that helps them feel safe and seen. Here’s a quick look at what I offer: - Experience with elderly, anxious, and reactive pets - Comfortable with oral meds and subcutaneous fluids (for cats) - Skilled at building trust with “difficult” animals - Can reinforce training and add enrichment to walks or playtime - LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-friendly households welcome 🌈 Let’s make a plan that keeps your pets calm, loved, and thriving while you're away. 🐕💛🐈 I work part-time from home as a writer, so I have a flexible schedule and love incorporating pet care into my daily routine and rhythm. I don’t offer in-home care since I live in an apartment, but I’m available for 1–2 night overnight stays in your home. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure, respected, and cared for—especially those with anxiety, special needs, or trauma histories.

I have been trained to administer all sorts of medications and treatments and I know how to deal with all kinds of animal behaviors! I have also dog-sat, house-sat, and farm-sat for multiple families over the past five years! I’m currently working part time at a vet clinic, along with my class schedule, but I will have plenty of time to give your pups the best care needed!
