Dog Walking Country Valley-Hawthorn Square

“Hailey was excellent, we booked her to walk our dog on very short notice. She was very responsive and extremely kind to our dog. I would 100% recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker!”

“Kat is wonderful!!! I can't say enough good things about her! She took extra, extra care with my little fur boy who is extremely timid and fearful of new people. She is very knowledgeable and was so conscientious about making him feel safe.”

“Jacki has such a caring soul. She is responsible and reliable, and has done an excellent job in the few short weeks she has been with our new puppy. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. As well as taking care of many of my neighbors/ relatives animals. I have also taken care of dogs and cats young and old and I am volunteering at KC Pet Project. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and will have a part time job. I would be excited to take care of your pets in between! I feed, bathe, brush, and exercise my own dog and have since I was young. For the neighbors pets I have cleaned up and ensured they had the proper amount of food and water and giving them enrichment.

“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!!!!”

About: I’ve been known through my family and friends as a “dog whisperer”, and have had dogs in my care all my life! I’ve owned and taken care of my own senior dog for years, and am currently working with my new puppy. I have detailed experience with elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I can administer medications involving needles, and fulfill special food requests. Currently, I am a university student and I have a small part time job. However, I miss working with animals and my class schedule tends to be very flexible! In caring for a pet at your home, I treat it as if it was my own. I always emphasize to follow directions perfectly, and to treat your things with respect.

“Georgia has been our Rover person since Mav was ready for walks as a puppy. She’s dependable, communicates, and Mav loves her! Highly recommend”

About: I have been a foster mom and adopter for 18 years. I fostered 50 dogs through a local rescue group. We have had 7 dogs, all but 1 are/ were snow dogs. I'm a part-time small animal physical therapist at ARC where we teach agility and obedience, help rehabilitate cats and dogs with injuries and provide quality of life rehab for seniors or the terminally ill. We took our last babies before they passed to ARC for quality of life, they had degenerative myelopathy and kidney disease, respectively. I fell in love with the place and became a PT. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, they deserve all the spoiling to make their golden years filled with love, comfort and adventure. To me dogs are equal to people and should be treated even better. I have a fenced in back yard and a home made for dogs. We have a four seasons room with a dog door to use. I split the house up according to where your dog is most comfortable while I'm out. We never miss our morning walk. In the summer we take dogs swimming at my in-law's pool 20 minutes in Blue Springs. We also have kiddie pools and a sandbox to discover toys. They can sleep in the bedroom, family room or patio room. If they are kennel training then in their kennel of course, which is in the very comfortable dog room. I am able to administer all types of medication, whether it be oral, injectable, or IV fluids. I am able to do dog CPR, we are also 5 minutes from our vet as well. My home is the ideal vacation spot for your furry friend. About this sitter: I'm a licensed Esthetician and have an in-home spa. I work at ARC part-time, just three afternoons a week. Clearly, I'm a huge dog lover. We previously fostered around 50 dogs for Furry Kids' Refuge. It is my life's work to stop puppy mills. I'm a very active person and enjoy outdoor activities. I live my life for my family and my dogs. "Be the person your dog thinks your are." Boone Pickens. Why I love dog sitting Ever since, I was a child I grew up loving dogs and wanting to stop puppy mills. I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some kind of capacity. I worked on Proposition B with the Humane Society of America. I want to help people feel confident leaving their pets when away from home. About my yard I have a 1/3 acre yard fenced all the way around. We have lots of trees and outdoor dog beds to hang out on under the hammocks. We have lots of squirrels to watch and all of our neighbors have dogs. We have a small wrap around deck that connects to our 4 seasons patio room with a dog door. My experience administering medication I am trained in dispensing all types of medicine; whether it be oral or injectable. I'm also able to do IV fluids and CPR. Your dog(s) will be a part of my family while you are away. They will go about their day doing what they normally do at home. They will be free to play and not be cooped up like at a daycare or vet facility. We have a million toys to play with and a nice neighborhood to walk in and lots of places to nap. We currently have two dogs, they both came from difficult situations, but they love to play with other dogs, it's people that can be intimidating. They prefer people that bring dogs in the house. We do slow introductions. We start with a walking meet and greet around the neighborhood and then we come in the backyard with your dog off-leash to smell and then they can all meet slowly. If all the dogs like each other then I do like a day visit if you will be gone more than a few days, so that your dog is comfy here. If you will be gone more than 2 weeks I recommend a night stay beforehand. I work part-time from home in my spa and part time at ARC on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. We walk every morning and most days I head to the gym after. Perfect time for the dogs to decompress in their own areas and nap. I have a nice fenced in yard with locks on the gates. All dogs are separated by gates and have their own comfortable spaces with multiple rooms. All dogs are fed separately for safety.

“Meggie was punctual and did a great job.”

About: Pets have been a part of my life my whole life. I've owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and ferrets. In high school I spent all my extra time volunteering at Kansas City Ferret Rescue. We even ran some of the shelter out of our house for a while. Currently I own 2 pit bulls and boy do I love my bully breeds. I have Marvel who is 11 and hes my gentle giant. We adopted his mother and had her her whole life and kept him from a litter of puppies she had. We've been together since birth. I also have Alice and she is getting ready to turn 5, we adopted her at 8 weeks old from a neighbor. She's super energetic. I have LOTS of training in taking care of puppies. I also own a 13 year old black Maine coon cat. I adopted him from wayside waifs when he was a tiny 8 week old kitten. My pets are very loved and yours will be also! We will have lots of fun playing with toys, going on walks and all the belly rubs. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies while your away. There will be no hurry in my visits. I currently walk my dogs everyday. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. We also play ball and Frisbee in our backyard. I will try to keep your pets schedule as close as I can to their current schedule with you.

About: My name is Jill and have been dog sitting for almost 12 years! For most of those years, dogs came to board at my home overnight. I created a full blown business and it was the most fun I've ever had with a job! But after having my human kiddos and adopting a special needs cat, I no longer offer in-home boarding. BUT I have happily pivoted to Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking during the morning and early afternoon! I am a stay at home mom and can have flexibility in my days. A little background: I am a Golden Retriever lover! We had my heart dog, Wallace, who hosted countless dogs at our house with me. He has recently passed and now we have Shadow; the most cuddly Golden I've ever met! We also have, Eugene, our Siamese special needs kitty who thinks he's a dog. My two kids and husband love helping me out with my animal adventures. If my criteria works for you, let me know! Thanks for looking at my profile and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible! -Jill I am a stay at home mom and a licensed massage therapist who works from a home office and makes my own schedule. My days are very flexible! I offer: feeding, bathroom breaks, walks outside, pets/snuggles, brushing, picking up poo, and giving oral meds. Let me know exactly what will make your pet comfortable during our visits!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and I had my own for 7 years. I miss him dearly and would love to be able to give part time lovins to others for now until I find another to call my own! I work full time as a mortician from 6a-6p but I have evenings and weekends free and even some day time availability to feed, walk, let out or just love some pups! I do live in an apartment, however they have a fenced in dog area. I’m willing to travel to your house or they’re definitely welcome in mine!

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I can remember. Rest assured, you fur-baby is in good hands with me. Animals are my passion; working with them is a bonus! I work from home, & my availability is fairly open. I can also be pretty flexible to accommodate different schedules, making things a little more stress-free! In my home, my fur-baby is treated just as a human would be. She’s very well trained, so I don’t use any methods of locking her up when I leave. She is free to roam! I will do what you prefer and what accommodates your lifestyle.

“This was my first weekend with Deret, and she couldn't have been better!! She communicated everything and I'm excited to have her on board!! Thank you Deret! I will continue to book her for all of my needs!!”

About: I work in nursing and I love animals just as I love people I’ve been taking care of animals often on for the past six years. I’ve been in nursing for 10. I love spending time with animals especially my fur babies. I work overnights two days a week in a hospital, so I’m very flexible. It helps because I make my own schedule and I have my schedule out in advance. i also love going on trial walks and dog parks to let the fur babies run off that energy and have fun . I try to stick to a routine and keep them on schedule, of course show them love and affection as well. I keep them safe by being aware of my surroundings, and just interacting with them

About: I am blessed with a sweet boy of my own and have had dogs in the house growing up. I have always had a natural touch with animals. For instance, my neighbor has a Saint Bernard who is not sure of humans in general but especially human males, however this dog becomes a giant puppy when I come around. I am a full time student doing school online so pet care can be done anytime in the mornings and afternoons and on any day except for Sundays. I have a fenced in yard at home, though I keep a watchful eye on my dog when he is outside. While inside, I keep anything that might catch his eye out of reach, and make sure he is always properly entertained. This happens to be easy for my dog since he loves antlers to chew on.

About: As an ER vet med worker, I understand that pets deserve to be treated with care and compassion. I have worked in the field for over 4 years and have experience with an array of behaviors and sizes. I own a german shepherd who is quite reactive, so I have special interests in caring for reactive and hard to handle pets. I do german style training with my own dog, and love to focus on obedience training. I am comfortable giving a variety of medications as needed and providing the best care for your fur babies. I work at an emergency veterinary hospital, so I do pet sitting on the side. I am familiar with the different lifestyle needs for each pet and willing to accommodate and provide:) Being a veterinary worker and student, I am very knowledgeable on pet care, illnesses, and many other aspects. I have cared for many pets in critical situations. I have a true passion for ensuring the best care for pets- physically and mentally!
