Dog Walking in Linwood Homeowner-Ivanhoe, Kansas City

About: I’ve had dogs and trained them since I was a kid and currently have one puppy in the house, he’s 8, but he’s still a puppy to me. Looking forward to meeting even more pups in the neighborhood. My husband and I work from home and can take breaks as needed to take dogs for walks or be around as they play in the house. I have a fenced yard and a dog that is well trained and is used to going to daycare on his own. Our house is also very dog friendly.

“Jessica is very responsible and trust worthy. She is a lover of animals and has a dog and cat of her own. She is very loving towards them and takes excellent care of them. She would be a great pet sitter or dog walker for anyone who is looking.”

“Jourdan grew up in a house that had 3 dogs! She was taught to care for them and always showed such love and kindness toward animals. She is very responsible and dependable. She has had experience with watching pets for friends and clients.”

“Stephanie has been amazing with our dog pickles! He takes a second to warm up to people, but he became quick friends with Stephanie!! She is great with communication and sends us the cutest pictures of pickles on their walks. Getting the pictures from Stephanie is something I look forward to during the day! We are so grateful to have someone we can trust to take care of our dog while we’re at work.”

“Andrew has always loved animals. He's always had pets as a child. He is very loving towards them. He would be a good asset to helping out with animals whether it is pet sitting or walking. Corinne H.”

“Connor has been nothing short of fantastic when caring for our family pet. His attentiveness, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in his work. Connor is highly reliable, always going the extra mile to ensure our pet feels loved and safe in his care. His understanding of different pet personalities and needs makes him a top-notch caregiver. We couldn't ask for a better person to care for our fur family member. We highly recommend Connor to anyone needing a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”

“Wonderful as always!”

“Ashlyn is a responsible, polite, and trustworthy person. She has watched my pet several times, and each time, she goes above and beyond to make my baby feel like I never left. She has pets of her own, and takes impeccable care of them. Her dog is trained wonderfully and is the best behaved dog I’ve ever met. She spends lots of time with her dog and cats, making sure they have plenty of engaged play time and enrichment activities. She has a love for animals and a true talent in working with them. Beyond being an incredible pet carer, she is a driven and intelligent individual, with a work ethic of gold. If you want to feel at ease with choosing someone to watch your fur baby, Ashlyn is definitely the clear and best choice.”

“Hannah took care of my dog Dutchess consistently for three years until I moved to another state. She always treats her like her own, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog like I do her. She’s communicative about everything going on, and honest. I can really tell my dog loves her because she doesn’t want to leave her side! I trust her with my dog more than anyone else, and it’s a shame I can’t have her here watching my doggy anymore. If you want a dog sitter or walker who will treat your dog like royalty, give them lots of belly scratches, and long walks, and good play time - book Hannah!!!”

“Kayla is amazing with my cat and dog ! Her love and passion for animals is very obvious ♥️ I highly recommend her !!! Thank you”

About: I’ve had pets all my life (cats & dogs), and I love animals. My dogs are my life. I regularly cat-sit for my mom and her friends, and I am currently raising and training my second puppy! We also have a couple rescue dogs. I have 5 years of RN experience, 2 of which were spent in the ICU, so I’m great in a crisis! Since I’m a nurse I have a very open schedule during the week—I’m only scheduled to work at the hospital 3 days a week, and I start early so I’m typically off work early! I’d love to help your furry friends get the love and attention they need when your work schedule/the hecticness of life gets in the way! I’m happy to let your dogs out for a potty break and some playtime, or to walk your dog for you! If you have cats, I’m more than happy to check in on them overnight or over the weekend if you’re out of town!

“It is very apparent that Ethan loves dogs! He is able to make friends with them quickly and they love him back! He’s a conscientious person who wants to take the best care of animals he’s responsible for and give them a happy life.”

About: I’ve lived with 3 dogs since I was in high school over 10 years ago and share a dog, Charlie, with my former partner, but he doesn’t live with me. I love animals and pride myself on being reliable for great care for your pet. I work from home currently so will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and host at a restaurant for 4-5 hours at a time a few days per week, but pets are welcome if that’s too long of a gap! I don’t have any pets and live in a very walkable neighborhood with a dog park less than a block from me for dedicated play time and potty breaks.

“I've worked with Deborah for my two cattle dog puppies. She is a great trainer to work with the humans and the pups! She definitely understands the balance of the need to work with human to teach the skills to reinforce when she's gone. I loved watching her work with the pups. You can tell she has a genuine love for animals and wants them to have structure so they can thrive in their environments. She has visual joy when they follow commands and get rewarded and you can tell she loves what she does. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life but haven’t had a pet since my last passed. I love the companionship animals have to offer. I’ve recently been feeling the hole my cat and past animals left and would love to share the space I have with your animal(s)!! I am currently taking one class in college. Additionally I am between jobs. My schedule is very flexible and open for your pet sitting needs I am a very tidy person and will clean up after your pets and myself accordingly. I’m very comfortable with animals and have experience putting them their harness or a leash if needed.

About: From 13 on grew up with a Labrador. Big baby, lol. Whether on my own or with roommates, almost always been around cats and dogs. Including chihuahuas. Fed them, watered them, taken on walks.

Good sized, open courtyard for potty, litter boxes for kitty. Neighborhood safe for walks around the block. Others also this routinely. Questions, ask.

“Mae truly adores animals AND is attentive, nurturing, patient and conscientious and trustworthy. I’d hire her in a heartbeat! I may be biased but I’ve seen it first hand for years!”

About: I’m a sustainable landscaping student looking to help you with your pets while I finish my studies.

“Jay is my neighbor as well as my pet sitter and I feel confident in vouching for his character as a person as well as his loving care of my pets. While traveling, I receive text updates along with pics of my dogs & cat. They have been happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Jay for daily walks or travel pet sitting.”
