Dog Walkers in Lake Lotawana, MO

About: Passionate pet lover with years of experience in animal care and training. Dedicated to providing the highest level of love, attention, and support to furry companions of all shapes and sizes. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, ensuring that my furry friends receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and grooming, their well-being is always a top priority. In both my home and my clients' homes, I provide comprehensive pet care services tailored to each animal's needs. This includes regular feeding, scheduled walks or exercise sessions, administering medications if needed, engaging in playtime and enrichment activities, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Additionally, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to ensure their peace of mind and to address any specific concerns or requests.

About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and can’t wait to take care of so many more! I have loved animals since I was very young and even wanted to be a veterinarian when I got older. I am a college athlete so I do have practice every morning of the week but after that my days are usually free and I would love to hang out with some dogs! I have a fenced in yard and 1 very friendly and playful puppy. I also have 2 friendly and loving cats. I love taking my dog, Oakley, to the dog park and taking her on walks and I’m sure Oakley could use a friend!

“Kathleen was perfect and responded quickly and paid attention to my dog’s needs. She also took many pictures, I was pleasantly impressed by her service!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and ability to make pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including senior dogs and anxious pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, get plenty of attention, and care, and I always keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. Since I am currently on summer break, I have a fairly flexible schedule and free time to dedicate to pets throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, exercise, playtime, walks, and care while keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also keep the home clean, provide updates and pictures to owners, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.

About: Hello there! I'm so glad you found my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who has been drawing horses since I could hold a crayon, and I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a child. We had rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, cats, dogs, and horses at various times while I was growing up, and my childhood dream was to have lots of cats and lots of horses some day. Well I currently have 3 cats and 1 horse, so that's something! Haha. We also have two ducks and are planning to get more shortly. We've had as many as 5 at a time in the past. I've had pets of my own since my college days, and not surprisingly after having so many animals in my life, I ended up getting my degree in Animal Science! I also volunteered at the local Humane Society walking dogs while in college, and cared for pigs, poultry, horses, cows, and more rodents throughout my education. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel for a time after college. These days my animal care is mostly directed at my own pets, but you can never have enough animals in your life in my opinion, and so here I am, ready to spoil your fur babies for you if you need! I currently work from home 3 days a week and am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule during those days as well. That means I can take the time now and then to drop in and check on your pets for you if you need some extra help while you're away! Whenever I drop-in on your pets, I will stick to the routines you already have established for them at home to minimize any stress, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone! But I will also definitely take the time to give them plenty of pets and play-time too, if that's something they would love! ^_^

About: Hi! Growing up I have had all the animals I could. Hamsters, fish, bunnies, rats, birds, horses, dogs, and cats. My family has 8 dogs now. The past year I adopted a lab puppy, as a full time college student. This has been the greatest gift, but has shown me first handedly the hardships of having a dog. I want nothing more than to help ease the hardships of having a furry friend for you and your family. As a college student, I have classes everyday, about one or two classes. My days have many gaps and free time allowing for many potty breaks, walks, and play! My schedule is very flexible overall. Pets are my #1 priority when I am home, coming from a family with many dogs. Taking care of my dogs means walking, feeding, playing, and small training on a daily basis. Love and affection is another part of caring for pets in my opinion.

“Kiaya is great with my high needs dog. I hired her to help with his walks while I recovered from an ankle injury. She has gone above and beyond by feeding him on days my kids have forgotten and it’s too hard on me to climb the stairs. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent Walker. Our dog loves walking with her.”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

About: Tell your pets I said hi! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs and now have two kitties of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful of your home, and consistent with your pet’s care. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, give medications if needed, and always keep you updated. As a photographer, I love capturing sweet moments—so you’ll get plenty of photo updates while you’re away! I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work full time during the week, but work remote on Mondays and Fridays, so those days are great for me to love on your furry friends! I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, along with basic training knowledge that helps me handle a variety of routines and personalities with confidence. While I don’t offer boarding in my home, I’m happy to provide care in your home where your pets are most comfortable and secure. I always respect each home, follow instructions closely, and prioritize safety, consistency and a calm environment! You can count on clear communication and reliable care every step of the way.

About: I currently work at a boarding facility and get to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments! I especially do well with the pups that are a little more nervous or fearful as I’ve been working with dogs and have learned how to read them well! I love to see nervous pups flourish into who they truly are once they get warmed up! I am a lead at PetSuites so I do administer medication daily to pups aswell so don’t be shy about boarding your dog who needs medication! My work schedule: sun. 8-8 Mon, OFF tues 8-5:30 wed 8-5:30 thurs 8-8 fri 8-5:30 sat 8-5:30 IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH YOUR DOG BEING LEFT ALONE FOR 10+ HOURS I CAN CHANGE MY 12 HOUR DAYS TO 9. You just have to book a few weeks in advance I currently work full time and depending on how close the dogs are to my work could swing by before and after work as well as on my break for potties and meals! On my days off I can spend much more time if not the whole day those days! My dogs at home are friendly but one is getting old and a little cranky so in home boarding/visits wouldn’t work best for me as it would likely make your dog more comfortable to be at their own home!

About: I love taking care of my dogs and cats everyday. I have years of experience with taking care of my dogs and cats including grooming them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and loving on them. I would like to take care of your animals so that they do not feel lonely when you are away. My goal is to still make them feel loved when you are not able to look after them. I will look after them to the best of my abilities. On here, I will offer walking dogs, checking in on dogs and cats, grooming them, feeding them, and staying with them overnight under certain circumstances. However, it should be noted that I am a college kid that is currently enrolled in summer college courses. I am taking this to try to make some money to further my education. This will still not stop me from putting your pets well-being first Pet care will have to take priority after my schooling. I am usually in school from 7am to 3pm every weekday. All other times are free for me I have had plenty of experience walking, feeding, giving medication, and caring for dogs. This is because I had elderly dogs that needed constant care.

“We did a meet and greet first, and Katie was very professional, asked all the right questions and very sweet. My puppy LOVES her, butt one of my older dogs was scared, so she offered to walk her with her brother at the same time and they did great! Very happy with Katie, and already booked another appointment.”

About: I have over two years of experience working in a dog boarding facility, where I developed strong skills in animal care, supervision, and handling dogs of all temperaments. I am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician degree, further expanding my knowledge and passion for animal care. In addition, I have provided trusted house and dog sitting services through personal recommendations and referrals. I genuinely love working with dogs and plan to dedicate my career to caring for and improving the lives of animals. A dog fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Incorporating a dog into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide them with the attention and structure they need throughout the week. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While dog sitting, I make sure pets maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I always keep owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where dogs feel happy and secure while their owners are away.

About: I have found passion in being kind and loving to every dog I meet. I've noticed I'm naturally great at bonding with dogs and gently helping with training. What better way to fill my cup than by spending time with animals while helping people feel confident their pets are truly cared for? I currently have a Jack Russell–Beagle mix named JT, adopted at age six, who I’ve helped adjust to stairs, car rides, and a daily routine that includes dog park visits. Before him, I shared 10 incredible years with Stewart — my soul dog — who joined me for road trips, everyday life, and miles of running together. Stewart’s presence in my life shaped not just my love for animals, but how I love them: deeply, patiently, and fully present. Thanks to him, I learned how to safely run with dogs of all sizes, and I’m happy to offer that same high-energy care for dogs who love to move fast! And before that was Hoagie, our loyal family dog of 17 years, who sparked my lifelong love for animal companionship and helped me understand what it means to share a true emotional bond with a pet. Even earlier in life, I grew up with a dog named Ubar — my childhood companion — who was lovingly cared for by my father until I was 13. Watching him gently care for Ubar left a lasting impression and taught me what it means to show patience and respect to animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors needing gentler attention. As a teacher, I bring calm energy, structure, and clear communication to every interaction. Whether your dog needs exercise, affection, or quiet companionship, I treat each pet like they’re my own. I truly understand the emotions that come with leaving your dog — because pets are family. I know they’ll miss you, and that’s why I show up as the happy, trusted visitor who brings them comfort, fun, and love in your absence. I’ll always go above and beyond to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m currently off for the summer, which means I have full availability for pet care — especially daytime walks and drop-in visits. This is the perfect time for me to give your pet consistent attention, playtime, and companionship while I build a strong routine with these services. As I build my Rover presence, I’m offering discounted rates for my first few clients. Just reach out and let’s chat! As the school year begins, I’ll continue to offer evening and weekend availability, along with care during school holidays. I'm currently focusing on getting drop-in visits and walks running smoothly and will always do my best to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule. When I care for pets in their own home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for mine. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to gate locks — and take time to learn your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I do love to be outside and play with our pups if they won't leash walk as well. We will spend the time together! I make sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and that your pet is never rushed or overwhelmed. I build trust by being consistent, calm, and communicative. Whether it's a walk or a drop-in, I always take time to greet your pet with warmth and patience so they feel safe while you're away. I also send updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive, low-stress experience — one where your pet feels loved, and you feel peace of mind.

“Stacy was wonderful with communication and taking care of our doggie that has a little anxiety! Will definitely book again when I go out of town!”

About: I've been pet sitting for about three years now, petsitting many different breeds such as Danes, Australian Shepards, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and German Shepards. I love big dogs and grew up constantly around Great Danes and Mastiffs. I've also raised three puppies over the years and been involved in basic care, walking, playing, and potty training. Animals are my whole life and I'm getting certified in dog grooming starting in August, so I'm available for a large amount of time over the summer! Currently, I'm looking to pet sit full time! I am available on almost any day of the week (and weekend!) and can come at any time needed during this summer. I will always make sure your fur babies are fed, have water at all times, get any specific meds (if needed), are played with as much as possible, and are plenty loved! I will treat your animals as if they were my own, making sure they are consistently happy and healthy. I also strive to make your return back home as stress-free as possible and often vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and tidy up before leaving!

“Tiffany is AMAZING!! Mater looked for here every day for his walk and to chill on the couch with her. She is always available and communicates really well!! She takes pictures and leaves treats even! She treats our Mater like her own pup. Couldn’t ask for a better pet walker!!!!”

About: I promise to treat your fur baby as my own! I’ve grown up and been around dogs my whole life as well as fostered 3 different dogs. I own a golden retriever and have a lot of free time this summer and would love to help ya out! 💛 I am a teacher, so I have this summer off and am pretty flexible so I’m open to any times if you’re planning a trip or just need me to take them for a walk! Please also let me know if I need to crate them or do anything special before I leave to ensure your fur baby is safe

“Heidi was so fantastic! After I had surgery I needed a lot of help with my Shih Tzu and she was there at a moment's notice for any and every need Spanky and I had. I could tell she really cared about him and was very gentle with him. I would highly recommend her!”
