Dog Walking East Independence

About: I work with animals for a living every day and have a passion for them and the care they need, no matter the temperment or personality. I grew up around large dogs, small dogs, cats, and exotics. My love for animals always comes first. I have over 3 years as an exotic animal care manager, 3 years as a Salon Stylist, and have my certification as a Pet Trainer. I always work to improve my skills and with open communication I hope to bring you the best of care for your little family member. I work with animals on the daily but always have time to work in my schedule. As long as there is communication there are never any issues. l live in a beautiful area, but no matter what, I have training for any situation. I have a background of handling multiple situations in different sceneries. I have cared for animals from the northeast, all the way down southwest.

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: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. I co-parent my dog, Riley, a beagle and lab mix who is approaching 15 years old! I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours as I would mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks, and treats (in moderation). From young puppies to seniors, I have cared for a wide range of sizes, needs, and breeds. Each dog requires special care and I am here to provide just that. I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send photos so you can confidently know that your pet is being taken care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. Currently, I have a flexible schedule as a seasonal native landscaper, substitute teacher, and entrepreneur. I'm currently working part-time, so I will plenty of time for your pups! Every morning your dog will go for a walk before I head in to work. I'm usually out the door by 7:45 or 8:00 and back before 2pm. I live in a no outlet neighborhood with lots of sidewalk and grass to walk your doggies! We have a fenced in patio that your dog can hang out at, too.

“Cailey is personable, prompt, and responsible. Most importantly our shiba loves her and is always excited to see her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends and family.”

I feel keeping your pet in their home in their familiar surroundings is much less stressful on them. I will provide as much love and cuddles as they will allow.

Then I would go to work till 12:30/1:30, go back to your house and repeat the morning routine unless your pet does not eat again in the afternoon, play and cuddle as much as your pet wants. If your pet sleeps with you, they are more than welcome to sleep with me too.
