“Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.”
“Catherine is fantastic! She is detail oriented, thoughtful, and responsible. Our dog, Ozzie, has been a bit of a challenge- not wanting to walk in the extreme heat. Catherine has found ways to encourage him and give him other kinds of attention, like playing fetch in our backyard. We will continue to hire her!!”
“Ella was amazing! Arrived on time and our dog loved her. She was also available when we needed extra help for long days! She was excellent and we will definitely use her again! Thank you Ella”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I wouldn’t have it any other way! After growing up with two cats, I now live with a noisy but very loveable chihuahua. Since I was in middle school I have been caring for dogs, cats, and even turtles! I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and cared for multiple at once. Getting to show your pet some love would be a highlight of my day and a highlight of theirs as well! I’m currently a rising Junior at Mizzou looking to spend time with animals while home for summer break! I have a light and flexible schedule along with my own reliable transportation! I care for your cat the way you want me to! Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me! I don’t try to push boundaries and am great at picking up their queues.
“Kate came over a few days before the day to meet my dog. She is very responsible and followed my directions to a tee. My dog instantly liked her. So yes, I would love to have Kate come over and walk my dog. A high five star rating”
“Donna was great to our puppy. She is communicative and trust wordy. Our little ball of energy would come tired from a walk. Definitely would use her again. Thank you Donna”
“Alexis is awesome! She clearly loves and is comfortable with dogs and connected with my owner-attached dog straight away. She is super friendly and easy to work with. She also is very responsible--she was on time, listened to and executed my exercise requirements for my dog. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I believe in maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and making their time without you feel seamless. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a dedicated, compassionate companion who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a teacher, my summers are completely free, making it the perfect time to dedicate myself to pet care. I live only a half block from a large park and am very close to the lake, which is ideal for long walks. I genuinely love walking, so integrating multiple walks throughout the day for your dog is a pleasure, not a chore. This prime location also offers easy access to plenty of green space for playtime and exercise. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box/cage cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of cuddles. I'll also bring in your mail and water plants, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
“Andrew is so great with our lab puppy Morgan. He is reliable and communicative and takes her on nice long walks. She is always excited to see him. You can tell that he is a true dog lover.”
About: Hello! My name is Robert. I hope you will consider hiring me to walk your dog because I love dogs very much and understand the importance of taking good care of a dog. Throughout my whole life, I have always had at least one dog – they are such an essential part of who I am. In many years of walking my own dogs nearly every day, I have come to understand how to be gentle with each individual dog and be patient with their needs. Definitely reach out and let me give your dog some exercise so he/she can return home calm and happy! I understand personally the value a dog provides and I would provide your dog with the best level of care. I have time for drop by visits or for walks! Just let me know what you need and we will arrange the best care for your dog. I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs who need medication, dogs with anxiety, all types of dogs. I provide the best care for what they need.
About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.
About: I have basic skills in pet caring such as bathing, grooming, nail trimming, teeth brushing, feeding, playing. If your pet needs to take meds I'll make sure it gets done. I can adjust to your pets liking, whether it's that they like to be touched and would like to play around or would rather be left alone, I can do it. Whether they're younger or older, patience is always a key thing to have with any pet. At the same time, each pet has their own personality and it's important to take notice of it and know how to treat them. I have the belief that a pet is also a member of the family, which is precisely how they'll be treated in my home. Happy pet, happy life :) I work from home, living with my own fur baby and have plenty of love and time to go around to help care for your own fur baby/babies ❤️ I have a fenced in yard with a beautiful tree and plenty of space to run around and have fun in. My home can easily accommodate for cats having plenty of windows and ledges for sunbathing at any time. If interested there is plenty of couch space to snuggle up on

Fernando & Elizabeth R.
“Our dog Harry has been going to daycare 3x a week at Liz and Fernando's for 1.5 years so far. We have also boarded him with them multiple times for a duration of 3 - 10 days. What can I say - Harry loves it there! He gets so excited at dropoff in the back of our car when he realizes we are close to their house. Liz and Fernando have an amazing outdoor space for the doggies during the warmer weather months. We get photos and videos of Harry playing with his dog friends and getting attention from the human friends. Occasionally, Harry has needed medication during his boarding (even an eye ointment) and Fernando and Liz have always been happy to apply/give him whatever medicine he has needed. Fernando and Liz genuinely love dogs and it shows through Harry's experience with them. We are so lucky they live close to us and can watch him!”
Ginny W.
“Ginny has watched my dog, Taz, on numerous occasions and has always done an incredible job. She was very receptive to my instructions, and she went the extra mile to make Taz feel good. She sent me many pictures of him on multiple walks numerous times throughout the day. My dog doesn’t get along with other dogs so I was pretty worried, but it was clear Ginny had a lot of experience and my concerns were easily dissipated. Her communication was great, and my dog loved her so much. It was clear she is was a pet lover, and treated my dog as if it were her own. I would highly recommend Ginny.”

Highly recommend booking Viviana as a dog walker. She did a great job with our two pups, especially our older dog who can be a little feisty. She is very responsive and even came to meet our dogs beforehand to make sure she could provide them the best care possible.
