Dog Walkers in Franklin, MO

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’ve taken care and had dogs my whole life!! I have a year old puppy currently who I love so much! I work from home so i’m available all day to give my undivided attention to your doggy! I’m a full time college student but I do all my work online. I’ll be home all day to watch and take care of your animals! I have a big back yard, a park less than a mile away, and I have a playful puppy to keep your baby entertained! I also have plenty of toys, treats, beds, and puppy blankets to keep them comfortable!

About: I have four years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I also have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I’m confident administering medications if needed, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I have four dogs and three cats of my own, each with a set feeding routine and potty schedule that I follow daily. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! My mother owns a grooming business just down the road, so I’ve grown up around professional pet care and often help out there as needed. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience with animal health and daily care. In addition, I help manage our family farm operation with cattle and horses at my grandparents’ place. Taking care of animals is something I do every single day—and something I truly love! I live on about three peaceful acres along a quiet gravel road, with a small fenced-in area in the backyard and a large open front yard for plenty of room to play. I have two friendly large dogs who stay outdoors to help keep the property safe, and two smaller indoor dogs who love to keep our guests company. All of my dogs are very social and gentle with new friends! If your pup prefers to stay on leash, I’m happy to offer leash walks for their comfort and safety. My animals follow a consistent morning and evening routine, and I have crates available if that’s part of your dog’s normal setup. My cats are also friendly and loving, and there are several cozy dog beds throughout the house for your pet to relax on. At night, the dogs sleep in the bedroom—so your furry kiddo is more than welcome to snuggle right in! My home is calm and quiet (no children), and I’m typically home every day by 3 p.m. or earlier. On most days, I don’t leave until around 9 a.m.—and often, I’m home all day giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.

“Jennifer did an excellent job with Janky! Janky is pretty shy and hesitant about being around new people, but she warmed up to Jennifer very quickly. I was very happy with Jennifer and the updates I received from their walks. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is hesitant about using Rover - she’s excellent and you won’t regret choosing her to care for your pet.”

I can provide specialized care for fur babies with medical conditions, medications or dietary restrictions. I am incredibly dedicated and passionate for animals and providing the best care possible!

As a veterinary student, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets above all else.

About: I’m an Animal Science major with a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with two dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time at a horse clinic while also attending classes. I have flexible breaks throughout the day, which gives me time to walk, feed, or play with pets. After work and classes, I’m available for evening visits or walks to make sure pets get the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment, so I’m not able to host pets overnight, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and playtime to keep your pets happy and active. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for during our time together.

About: Dog Walking: My family dogs are two Great Danes and a German Shepherd/Pitbull mix so I am very familiar with large dog breeds. I have also had experience with Toy Poodles and Yorkies, so I also have experience with small dog breeds. I have experience with cats, as well. I’m currently a full-time employee Monday-Friday at school but am always more than happy to help out with your pets after 5pm and on weekends and mornings! I like to make sure that I’ve communicated with the family on their pets regular behaviors and schedules as to make sure to keep them to a schedule/day that they’re typically used to with me providing their care.

About: I’m already excited to meet you and your pets! I’ve been a massage therapist for over 17yrs, so I give premium pets. Along with that is high standards for care which will includes keeping up to date with CPR/First Aide training. I currently have a grandpa puggle (15yrs old) and young kitty myself. Just like in a massage, snoring, drooling, or farting are all compliments of good care and I look forward to the same with fur clients. I recently moved back to Mid-MO and looking for extra jobs to supplement my massage therapy career. I especially like being busy in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and three cats. I love following directions for pet care. Give me all the lists and details! Our own pets have various schedules and diets.

“Caitlin is wonderful! Our doggo loves his weekly walks with her.”

“Mark arrived within the time frame I asked for, he was communicative with each walk, sent me pictures and let me know the details of each walk. Would recommend Mark to anyone & I will be asking him to overnight sit for my dog!”

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!

“Truly the sweetest! She was our boys first walker and we were so happy with her! He loved her! Photos and updates! Will definitely be using Bree again! ☺️”
