Dog Walking in Independence

About: I've taken care of my own dogs and assisted my friends and neighbors dogs and cats since I was a child. I love playing with dogs and cats of all ages and have ample experience with litter boxes and pooper scooping as well as giving medications and special dietary needs. I love cats and dogs of all ages but have the most experience with kittens and senior dogs. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is different every day and every week. I am usually very flexible and am able to move around my schedule as needed. I will be walking your pet as the pace that they set and am open to discussions with what your pets needs are while they are with me. Time and distance can be discussed as needed as well. I am also open to discussion on how you prefer your pet cared for/played with in your home for a drop in. My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible with the pet care provided.

“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”

“Sydney is an excellent two-dog walker. My high-energy pups are already recognizing her and getting excited about their walks with her. I just stepped outside to retrieve them and they were sitting politely and picture-perfect.”

About: Hi there! We’re passionate dog lovers who recently relocated from Tampa to Kentucky. We used to have a beautiful Doberdor (Doberman/Labrador mix) who brought so much joy into our lives. Before the move, we made the difficult decision to give him to a close friend so he could stay in a familiar home. We miss him every single day and truly miss having a dog around. That’s why we’d love the chance to care for your pup! Whether it’s dog sitting, walking, or just keeping them company, we’ll treat your dog with the same love, compassion, and care we gave our own. Being around dogs brings us so much happiness, and we’d be honored to be part of your pet’s life—even just for a little while! I work from home 9am - 6pm so I can take care of your pets pretty much throughout the day. I do have two littles under two so they keep me busy and outside! If dog-walking, I can walk your dog around our neighborhood our take them to the South Fork park and walk them along the trail and let them play in the creek! My kids love to go there so they can just tag along!

About: I've cared and pet sit for family for years, I would watch over my Nana's ten pets for weeks at a time multiple times a year. I always look forward to when I get to sit and care for families pets and spend time with them one on one. I love the calm moments where they sleep next to you and the energy of running around in the backyard for hours and taking walks. I work a full time job in the evening, but I have two pets I care for at home before and after work. I would love to be able to help others know their animals are safe and taken care of while they're at work or out of town, especially if they're gone late at night when their pets need them most. I always make sure to approach an animal and not force myself on them until they feel comfortable around a new person. I make sure when taking them on a walk to always have them on a leash just in case and be cautious around other animals because you can't ever be too sure of other people's pets around your own. I would always check with the owner but I would love to bring approved treats for the animals as a fun surprise and maybe a new toy if it was okayed by the owner.

About: I grew up with 4 large dogs (labs and golden retrievers) and 2 chihuahua mixes. Loved taking care of them as a kid. Now I have 2 cats and I have had them for 3 years. I also volunteered in a cat shelter for 1 year in Miami. I prefer last minute bookings and I will not accept booking requests more than 1 month in advance. I do online tutoring in the mornings and I’m 100% free in the afternoons and all day on the weekend. If you need me to house sit in the mornings, I can as long as I can connect to my tutoring sessions in between taking care of animals! For cats: I can feed, scoop the litter box, refill water, sweep, and of course play with them and give them scratches For dogs: take them on a walk, feed, refill water bowls, clean up, and of course play and give scratches

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m very patient, loving, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I have a very flexible schedule since all my college classes are online, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, and I can adjust to your pet’s specific needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I’m very attentive, patient, and make sure to follow any routines or instructions exactly as given. I create a calm, loving environment and treat every pet like my own, always making sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

About: After a break from pet sitting, I have decided to start taking bookings again for walking/drop-in visits. I am also open to overnight stays at your home depending on circumstances. I have always had a soft spot for animals. They bring me such happiness and I honestly feel like we are not deserving of the love that they give! I have great anxiety when I have to Board or find care for my own pets, and I strive to bring comfort and compassionate care to others who may feel the same way! I work from home which allows me to constantly be present for the needs of my own animals and the needs of pups that are visiting my home. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe community. Visiting pups will be treated like family and will be loved on and treated like one of our own.

“LOVED DAWN. she walked my pup even when it was raining and lived on my cat too!”

And I am a very patient person, acquiring that skill as I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and a whole barnyard of animals my whole life.
