Dog Walkers in Hartsburg, MO

About: Animals have always been my passion, ever since I was young. Having four dogs and two cats at home, I’m experienced in multiple types of pets! Any special requirement for any dog is never too big of a task. Keeping the pet happy and comfortable is my top goal. I have worked with a senior dog, keeping him comfortable and as active as he can be was somethin I took pride in doing, puppies are also no trouble. Entertaining and making sure they potty where they’re supposed to. Messes are no problem though, upset stomachs are something that happen and it’s okay! Accidents happen too and I’m up to cleaning it. My schedule is normally pretty open. I have taken care of three dogs for years, and then having one more to the group to make four. I would be going to your home to help take care of your dog or cat. Keeping them comfortable is my main goal, I always wait with patience and take my time to try to bond with your pet.

About: I’ve always been an insane animal lover, to the point I once made my mom not drain a pool because there were frog eggs in it. Cub Creek Science and Animal Camp (CCSC) allowed me to work with their animals as an Animal Specialist in Training (ASIT), where I helped clean porcupine poop and feed ferrets, and every other animal in there. They had everything, frogs, reptiles, insects, birds, and so many mammals. While I absolutely adored taking care of the exotics, I also LOVE domestics! Ever since I was about 11, I have dedicated myself to learn about canine and feline behavior, which ultimately is helping me in getting my certificate for dog obedience training. While I offer services for cats and dogs, if you have exotic animals that don’t register on here, talk to me about them, and I will see what I can do!! At the moment, I am also working for Walmart’s Spark program, so I am free whenever, but I may be slightly late depending on the orders I get. Soon I will start my externship for my certificate, so I’m not sure what my schedule will look like. I will need your contact information, preferably written on paper and left in a well seen spot, in case something were to happen. Along with contact information, please leave your main vet’s information, along with 24 hour emergency vets closest to you. If an emergency were to happen, I would immediately rush them to the vet and I will attempt to call you on the way there. If it is not an emergency, I will contact you to see what I should do. I am very loving toward any pet I meet, and I will ensure their safety and happiness under my care.

About: I currently am working at a pet groomers, so I’m learning more about animal behavior everyday. Seasoned pet sitter with a deep love for animals and a proven track record of dependable care. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or smaller pets, I make sure their needs are met with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I understand that each pet has its own personality and routine, and I adapt to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. From feeding and grooming to administering medications and handling special instructions, I stay detail-oriented and reliable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free in my care. I am currently working full time during the week for the time being, so I will be mostly be available during the weekends. I eventually would like to make this more or a full time career so I can put forth all my time in taking care of your pets. I will bring traveling to clients homes to care for their pets as I would my own. I will do what is asked of me in order to ensure the pet(s) are thoroughly cared for in their home.

“Thanks Janae. Shelby seems to have enjoyed her walk. She wanted to stay with you. Thanks for sharing the process with me. Signing up again for another walk.”

“Taylor was great! She came over the day before to meet the doggies. Even though the times I originally requested were a little difficult for her schedule that day (it was last minute,) she did all she could to make it as close as possible- and ended up being there about the time I had requested anyway. I scheduled two visits in one day, and while I said the second visit only needed to be a feed and let out in the yard - she asked if they could still go for a walk. :) She was also very observant and noticed a small scratch on one of my dogs, sent a photo, and asked if I wanted her to treat it. I really appreciate all the attentiveness; and the above and beyond she provided for my babies. Most importantly, the dogs seemed to really like her too. :) We are already planning for her to return. Thank you!”

“Donna is EXCELLENT with my dogs Charlie and Buddy. They're Maltese-Shih Tzu mixes, 7 and 3 years old, and they absolutely love her and they walks she takes them on. I've watched her with my boys and based on what I've seen, would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a walker with a great temperament and strong skills at dog handling.”

About: My experience with pets started at an early age, as there has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had at least one dog and cat that I absolutely adored and took care of. From fostering kittens to attending the hounds around town walking program for dogs- I’ve had a pretty wide range! I’ve completed a socializing program with my prior local humane society, pet sat many of my friends and family’s’ fur babies- as well as currently taking care of my three sweet cats! I would love to meet your pets and share some love when you aren’t able to! It brings a lot of joy to my life :) I’m currently a medical professional employed in the Columbia community but have pet sat as a side gig for many years as a way to connect with the community, meet other local pet parents, and love on others pets as if they were my own! My schedule varies and is often open the entire day. I would love to fit some pet sitting/walking opportunities into my life when I’m able! Taking care of your pets in your home is completely up to your preferred method! Every pet parent is different and I will make sure to tailor that experience to the sitting. Details and communication are the most important thing .

“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 :)”

“Timber loves Ashley and we are so thankful that she's willing to handle his puppy energy! She's great to work with: punctual, responsible and a positive attitude! Thanks Ashley!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.

“Sam was great with my shy girl and she is already pretty comfortable with her. That is unusual, because Gracie takes a long time to trust people. Matilda is shy but loves walks so she is easy and Charlie thinks everyone is here to spoil him. All 3 came home with tails high, and that is the most important thing. Sam did super with my babes.”

About: I am a pet lover and know how important it is for owners who can't take their furry friends along to have a place they feel safe and comfortable with. I have been watching animals of all species since I was a kid and feel comfortable with accommodating special care requests. I am very flexible with my schedule and am usually available to be with your best friends for most of their waking hours. I have a pet cam available if I need to leave them alone for a little bit. I live on a large countryside area a bit off the main road with lots of grassy unfenced area. I keep my home very clean but animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the furniture to make their stay as comfy as possible. I can make many accommodations according to how you like to care for your furry friend!

About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all of my life from frogs, turtles, fish, dogs, and cats. I currently have 2 cats of my own. Both 5 years old. I adopted them when they were just kittens. I am also very experienced taking care of dogs. I love to take them on long walks. I either go to a park or around the neighborhood. I had 3 dogs as a teenager (3 Yorkies). Although, I have taken care of all sizes and breeds of animals. I have specifically dealt with animals who need extra care and attention. I have previously provided appropriated prescription medicine to dogs and cats. I can help with visits to the vet as well. I am starting my NICU position as a nurse in May, but would still love to help out the animals as well as the humans ❤️ I am currently finishing up my senior year as a nursing student so I can be flexible with my study time throughout the week and weekend! With my own cats they are inside cats, and only aloud in our screen in porch. They absolutely live when they get to go out there. I spoil all the animals. I make sure to tire out the digs by going on long walks and playing fetch!
