Dog Walkers in Hatton, MO

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

About: I’m a HUGE animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals, from dogs, to cats, spiders, bunnies, frogs, and more! I have six cats of my own and foster medically fragile/behaviorally challenged cats from the Humane Society. It brings me so much joy when I see a cat truly start to thrive again. Because of how long I’ve been caring for animals, I’m experienced in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior four-legged friend needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! You have an animal that most people don’t know how to care for? I guarantee you that I do. Working with animals is such a fulfilling part of my life and that’s why I’ve been doing it so long! I work an incredibly flexible job, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I work with my clients and around their schedules, making pet care as stress-free as possible! I usually care for pets in my client’s home, as my home is a bit of a zoo. I work hard to ensure we have trust and boundaries established so we both feel comfortable! One of the ways I do that is by doing a meet n greet beforehand. I love to get to know the pet parents and meet the pets before I start sitting.

“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: I'm a Registered Nurse who also absolutely loves animals! I am on this site for the amazing opportunity of caring for dogs and cats! I have loved both dogs and cats my entire life and have had both of them as pets. I would love the opportunity to provide pet care services to your pet and to help out you and your family! From dog walking, pet sitting, checking on your cat (cleaning litter box, playing, feeding), to playing with your dog at a dog park or helping them get exercise, I would love to care for your furry family member. Whether you have a dog or a cat, I would never harm your furry friend in any way. I only want to love and care for your pet, and I would love the opportunity to help out you and your family with any pet care tasks you need while you're at work, on a vacation, or if you just need an extra set of hands! I work as a Registered Nurse and recently switched to a PRN schedule. That allows me to have a much more flexible schedule, which is great so that I am able to help care for your pets more! If you need various days of the week or weekends or day time or night time, I can usually make it work! I am also usually able to squeeze in some same-day bookings, as well! I try to be as flexible as possible because I know what it is like to have a crazy life schedule. We can work together to come up with something that works for everyone including your furry friend! This will vary based on what services you'd like provided for your pet. I am very honest, and if I am not able to confidently and safely perform the task, I will make sure to let you know! Integrity is very important to me when caring for both humans and animals because I value their wellbeing so much, so I will never tell you that I can do something and then either not do it or purposely do it below a high-quality standard. I'd love to communicate with each other what tasks you are looking for especially if your pet has any special or specific care tasks, diets, restrictions, or physical limitations. Some general tasks I can provide include dog walking, pet sitting, checking on your cat (cleaning litter box, playing, feeding), playing with your dog at a dog park or helping them get exercise. However, if there is any other task, just let me know and we can discuss it! I take safety and high-quality care very seriously, and I am eager to help you and your pet.

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog and gecko for years growing up, and I potty trained & pet sat for 4 months for my brother’s puppy. I’ve babysat kids before and much prefer dogs!! Because I work remote, I have the flexibility take breaks during my workday to go on walks/take care of personal things/etc so dog sitting would fit in great with my schedule! I treat all animals and homes like my own! I’ve house sat before, and I’ve pet sat before, and I’m more than happy to combine both of those things! I like to bounce around and it makes me happy to be in new spaces. Give me a to-do list around the house, for your pet, etc and I’m game!

About: I have been around pets since I was a kid. I did take care of elder dogs in the past time. I did dog-sitting the puppies. I had experience with foster dogs and my housemate in the past.

My schedule has some flexibility that I can take care of other things such as taking care of pets. I always make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their space. I care about their boundaries in their daily routine and develop relationships with their pets.

“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: 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 .

About: I have been a veterinary assistant at Lake Pet Hospital for 2+ years. There, I assist veterinarians with many tasks including x-rays, toenail trims, filling prescriptions, and giving medications. I'm currently a full time college student, but that is my only commitment other than your pets! I am available most evenings but am also willing to make early mornings work! My many years of experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician give me peace of mind that taking care of your furry friend will be a breeze and a blast!

About: You will not be disappointed by the quality of care you receive when your dog(s) is in my care. I have loved helping others with their family needs since I was young. My career as a nanny involved helping families for over 10 years with their children, animals, and other needs. I believe they are our four-legged babies. They will receive my full attention. You will receive pictures and messages throughout my time with them. They will only eat and play with the things you allow. We do have plenty of dog toys if they are pre-approved by you of course. We now have a lovable 10 year old mini schnauzer of our own who loves being around other dogs. Our children love being around other animals as well. They understand how to be kind and gentle to animals. I do, unfortunately, have some allergies and can only care for hypoallergenic dogs. Please ask if you are unsure about your breed. We have a large fenced-in yard and our house is conveniently located with easy access to a lot of surrounding towns. Thank you! My schedule is very flexible. Some days I run my children to school or daycare and back whenever it is convenient for us. I am a stay at home mom always looking to help others. Our yard is very large and fenced-in. Yadi is our mini schnauzer. He is almost 10 years old and loves being around other dogs. We are close to North highway 63, but live in the quiet country with a lot of nature and wildlife. Our gravel road is perfect for walks. And since I am located in between so many local cities I don't mind driving to care for your pup. I can easily crate your animal for you, as well. Let's discuss what you need!
