Dog Walking in Lykins, Kansas City

About: I have a pet of my own, specifically a cat. I have taken care of many of my families dogs and cats when needed. I play soccer at UMKC and am able to keep up with high energy dogs. I am currently going to school at UMKC and will have lots of time in my morning and throughout the day to come by and check on your loved ones! I am not in season at the moment, so I will be available on weekends. I will be respectful to your home by taking my shoes off and being calm and quiet when entering the home. I will lightly call for your pet while cracking the door open to let them know I am not a threat.

“Kat is wonderful!!! I can't say enough good things about her! She took extra, extra care with my little fur boy who is extremely timid and fearful of new people. She is very knowledgeable and was so conscientious about making him feel safe.”

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.

“Jessica is super helpful with our dog and has helped improve his leash walking in the short time he has been working with her. Would definitely recommend”

“Natalie is super responsive and attentive to the pets she watches. My puppy had a blast going on walks with her while I was out of town for the weekend.”

“Kelsey is wonderful with pets! She is very caring and my dog and cat both enjoy spending time with her. My dog is somewhat skittish and kelsey still does well with approaching and playing with her.”

“Amanda is a trustworthy pet sitter/walker. She has taken care of my corgi, when I'm out of town and has taken him on a walk while I was at work. My corgi has leash aggression, and it is something we are working on. Amanda followed my specific instructions when taking my corgi outside on a walk. Ex: where to take him, how to hold my Corgi's leash, distancing away from other dogs while on the walk. It eased my anxiety that she followed these instructions and was good to know that she really cared about my corgi and his safety.”

“Blair was on time and sent great videos and pics to keep me updated on their very first walk. As a busy event producer, I will be using him for ongoing walks and eventually dog-sitting when I travel for work. I came home to a tired pup! 100% reccommended.”

“Rodrigo was on time and took great care of our sweet doggy walking her all over the place. He seems very responsible and I felt super comfortable leaving our dog in his care.”

“Erin is awesome - super reliable and consistent . No issues ever”

“Tori was absolutely amazing! Really took the time to understand my girl's needs before and during the visit! Even was able to make it a little earlier since I got called into work early. I would highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again!”

About: I work at the Independence animal Shelter and volunteer at a senior dog facility because I can’t get enough of the old geezers! I foster senior dogs that come in through the shelter because I believe all dogs deserve to know love, care, and comfort up until there last days so I’m very comfortable handling older dogs! I enjoy my job and love my lifestyle, so I hope I can help incorporate that into your life! I work 4 days a week so it gives me 3 days where I’m free to help out, and I am open to odd hour requests! I don’t mind if I have to work after my work as long as you get the help that you need. I request that either specific care instructions are written or kept in text where it can be easily accessible just because I’m human! I forget sometimes! But I like to be thorough and give myself a checklist so anything that helps me feel organized will help me care for your animals the way they deserve. :)

“You won’t find a more loving animal sitter than Melissa. She is the epitome of an animal lover. Melissa has shown nothing but warmth and attentiveness to my two dogs and understands exactly what my expectations are for taking care of them the way that I do and applies it whenever she’s around my pups. I highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for that person who cares deeply for animals and shows that care 100% when she is responsible for them.”

About: All my life I have had dogs and cats at home. I’ve always enjoyed not only spending time with my own pets, but also my friends and neighbors pets! I’ve pet sat on many occasions for both dogs and cats (and even a turtle!). I am a pet lover and I am more than happy to take care of any other pets you have besides your doggo. I will gladly scoop some poop and feed all the pets you have! Along with dog walks, I would love to take your dog for a run too (only if they like running of course)! I can’t wait to love on your fur babies and make sure they feel comfortable and loved when you’re away from the home.

“we have had ilia take care of our cat, Edith, several times and found her to be very thoughtful and caring. She ended up sending us photos of ‘Edith’ with cute texts. We really weren’t expecting her to do that but it actually made us not worry at all about her care. It’s pretty obvious that ilia loves animals and takes the responsibility of caring for her ‘charges’ very seriously. We knew Edith was in good hands.”

“I have known Sean Lynch for 6 years. He is a trustworthy, kind, animal lover. He has pet sat for me in my home numerous times. He is a musician, a substitute teacher, and a private tutor. And he loves to walk!!! I highly recommend him if you are looking for a dog walker!”

“My sister Kaylin and I had a dog growing up, a pitbull mix named AJ, and she always took wonderful care of him. Additionally, she dogsits for a lot of friends, and she's never had a bad experience or even any problems. She'd be a wonderful caretaker for anybody's pet.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for a decade and love playing and interacting with them. I try to make a comfortable environment for them to live safely and happily. I’m a teacher on summer break who loves staying home with my own dog and cats and happy to help take care of yours when you need it! Fenced yard was the first addition we made when moving in because I know how important it is for dogs to get some unrestrained outdoor time. Plenty of rooms and lounging spots. My pets can be secluded if needed for a stress-free stay. My partner occasionally works from home and loves dogs as well so your pet will have a bonus person to play with :)

“I travel a lot for work and sometimes bring my 2 dogs with me. Roxanne was able to accommodate our needs perfectly by picking them up from the hotel while I was out and taking them on a nice midday hike in a nearby park. I can immediately tell by the photos that my kiddos were perfectly comfortable with her (even my nervous one!) and having a great time. Hope she’s available next time I’m in KC!”

“My dog loves Eunice Joy! She does a great job with her and I appreciate it!”
