Dog Walking Deer Park

“My dog is all muscle, and very excitable, so not everyone is comfortable walking her. Josie was a natural! It gives me great peace of mind to know my furbaby is in good hands, and I love getting her updates and photos. Highly recommend Josie !”

“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 have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through my professional work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, ages, and needs, including providing daily care, exercise, and following individualized routines. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need extra attention, patience, or close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and quick to notice changes in a pet’s behavior or wellbeing. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

About: I have always had my own personal dogs and cats as well as occasionally taking care of the pets of friends and family. For the past 5 years, I have worked as a veterinary assistant in a companion animal hospital. In my work and personal experience I have cared for almost all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am currently a full-time college student taking primarily online classes. This means I have a pretty flexible schedule and can be available when needed. My focus is to care for your pets as I would my own. A positive and enjoyable experience for your pet is my main priority!

About: I am a very experienced animal person. I’ve been around dogs, cats, and even reptiles my whole life. I live with multiple and even have an adopted/reactive dog, who is also a senior dog, so I know how to handle and approach them! I am on rover because I am minoring in Animal Science, and spending my time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! I work part time, my schedule isn’t set and it fluctuates every week. Reaching out in advance is always appreciated but if there is a day/night I’m not working, I would love to sit your fuzzy friend! Even better if you’re open to me working my part-time job into the schedule if it’s house sitting 😊 I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats, I love being active so walks and playing outside in this nice weather is a given.

About: I have always had pets in my house that I have taken care of. I love animals, and would love to help out! I consistently walk, feed, and play with my dogs at home. I also have done a ton of volunteering and fostering at local animal shelters! I’m am currently a senior at mizzou, but I have a very relaxed schedule this semester, due to the fact that most of my courses are online. I plan on doing my best to make the dog as comfortable as possible while I am the caretaker. I want to meet and respect the owners needs!

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: Growing up, I’ve never went without a pet in my house. From puppies, to senior dogs, I have experience with it all! Mainly, I dogsit for dogs and cats but I’ve also owned rodents consistently throughout my whole life (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc) so I have vast experience with those as well if needed! I’m a current college student with a passion for petsitting looking to provide excellence service to any and all pets you have! I’m available 24/7 on weekends! I do same day booking, though I would especially prefer at least a days notice for in-house stays. For drop-ins and walks, I am available for same day bookings! In my home, safety is one of our main priorities. I always make sure anything that is hazardous is picked up off the floor. Same with our elderly dog, to prevent tripping. I do several bathroom breaks a day, making sure to play with them hands on, and pet them to let them know they’re loved too. Im constantly checking food and water, and I would apply these same things in my clients’ homes. I’m used to the crazy with all of mine, so bring on the chaos!

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether it’s training puppies, caring for senior dogs, or just giving plenty of attention and exercise, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I also volunteered at the Central Missouri Humane Society while attending college in Columbia, where I worked with dogs of all temperaments and gained experience handling a wide variety of personalities. With me, your dog will be treated like family, and you can count on reliable, attentive care every time. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific time slots each day for feeding, walking, playtime, and any additional care tasks based on each pet's needs. This routine ensures consistency and allows me to provide the best possible care while balancing other responsibilities. Additionally, I schedule regular check-ins and updates with pet owners to keep them informed about their furry friend's well-being. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets under my care. This includes designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playtime, as well as access to outdoor spaces for exercise and bathroom breaks. I adhere to any specific feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, or medication routines outlined by the pet owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routines. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, ensuring that their pet's daily schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any medical needs, are faithfully observed. I also strive to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the owner's space while providing attentive care to their beloved companion.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets—hedgehogs, geckos, livestock, fish, cats, and dogs. I’m comfortable with unique routines, special needs, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal. I focus on reliable communication, gentle handling, and making sure each pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my college routine. My class schedule is flexible, so I’m able to plan visits, walks, and check-ins around my coursework. I spend a lot of time at home studying, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks between classes, or overnight care, I make pet sitting a natural part of my weekly routine. As a pet sitter, I offer both in-home and client's home care. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment, ensuring their safety and well-being. If caring for pets in the client's home, I'll follow their instructions, maintain their routine, and provide personalized attention to keep them happy and comfortable. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I'll tailor the care to meet each pet's specific needs. 💗

About: Hello! I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I have always had at least a dog and a cat. Currently i personally have a 7 month old puppy and a 2 year old cat. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about two years now. I would love to meet your furry friend! I currently am working 4 days a week but am free after work and my days off. My days off are Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I will be attending school starting in November so my schedule will change then. I currently have a 7 month old puppy and a two year old cat, but have always had a pet so I have taken care of pets of all ages and breeds. My friends and family all have varying breeds and ages of dogs and I am comfortable with all of them! I always make sure to spend a good amount of time with them.

About: My family has had at least one cat my entire life, even as many as 7 at one time when my mom rescued a kitten litter from a busy street. At a young age I learned to both love animals and to treat them with care. In my dad’s home we had a great big dog raised from a puppy, and as a college student I especially miss being able to take a dog on a nice summer walk. I’m currently working part-time in the evenings most days of the week. My schedule varies from week to week but I am reliably available before 3pm daily. I make time to give my cats enrichment daily and play with them in a run to get those zoomies out. My cats are slightly fat from how I like to treat them, but I do not share human food. I would do the same for any pet sitting situation in addition to following the dietary guidelines if your pet needs to eat less treats. Additionally, I would be taking my own tax of pets and ear scratches if the client is willing.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have so much love for them. Whether it’s a playful day outside running around with my dogs playing fetch or a rainy, gloomy day where I was feeling down my dogs were always my best friend. Their comfort is unlike anything else and I truly feel they know when something is wrong with people and having that companionship is so helpful. We as humans may have multiple pets throughout our lives, but our pets only have us for their short time with us. It’s our responsibility to provide them with all of the love and care in the world. Their lives revolve around us and what we do, they deserve to live their best lives while they’re here with us. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work full time dog sitting and couldn’t ask for anything better! The best coworkers anyone could ask for! Multiple drop ins a day and many, many walks throughout the day! I treat every pet as if it were my own! Each fur baby gets individual attention as well as time to play with the others pups. I can keep them separated if/as needed. Each individual pet will be taken care of according to the owners preferences!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.

About: Ive taken care of both my own families animals for years, along with friends and families pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from a teacup chihuahua to an adult husky. This also includes mostly periods of having multiple dogs. I also grew up with cats, usually in pairs. I myself have owned small birds, along with a leopard gecko. I’ve done sitting work for more relaxed animals, but also more agressive or high maintenance ones. I myself currently own a young black cat named Nordly! I currently work as High School wrestling coach, so I am flexible for the most part except for saturdays (through february) where I am gone for 6-8 hours. I will always try to accommodate to the needs of the specific pet or pets. If it’s a shy cat who just needs some food and alone time, awesome I’ll keep my distance! A needy attention seeking dog? I would love to give all my attention and energy! I’m used to a routine for dogs and cats, and daily cleanings of their areas. As long as we can communicate what your pet needs, I’ll make it happen.
