Dog Walkers in Marys Home, MO

About: I’ve always been an insane animal lover, to the point I once made my mom not drain a pool because there were frog eggs in it. Cub Creek Science and Animal Camp (CCSC) allowed me to work with their animals as an Animal Specialist in Training (ASIT), where I helped clean porcupine poop and feed ferrets, and every other animal in there. They had everything, frogs, reptiles, insects, birds, and so many mammals. While I absolutely adored taking care of the exotics, I also LOVE domestics! Ever since I was about 11, I have dedicated myself to learn about canine and feline behavior, which ultimately is helping me in getting my certificate for dog obedience training. While I offer services for cats and dogs, if you have exotic animals that don’t register on here, talk to me about them, and I will see what I can do!! At the moment, I am also working for Walmart’s Spark program, so I am free whenever, but I may be slightly late depending on the orders I get. Soon I will start my externship for my certificate, so I’m not sure what my schedule will look like. I will need your contact information, preferably written on paper and left in a well seen spot, in case something were to happen. Along with contact information, please leave your main vet’s information, along with 24 hour emergency vets closest to you. If an emergency were to happen, I would immediately rush them to the vet and I will attempt to call you on the way there. If it is not an emergency, I will contact you to see what I should do. I am very loving toward any pet I meet, and I will ensure their safety and happiness under my care.

About: I have been a veterinary assistant at Lake Pet Hospital for 2+ years. There, I assist veterinarians with many tasks including x-rays, toenail trims, filling prescriptions, and giving medications. I'm currently a full time college student, but that is my only commitment other than your pets! I am available most evenings but am also willing to make early mornings work! My many years of experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician give me peace of mind that taking care of your furry friend will be a breeze and a blast!

About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

“Amazing! Excellent communication, timely, reliable. Friendly and professional. Highly recommend.”

“Jennifer was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”

About: I love all animals and can’t wait to hear about or meet your furry family member . Allow me to look after your beloved pets, plants, home and many other things. If you need to be out of town or just need a little extra help with a high energy pet. Check my schedule and see if my services align with what you’re looking for. I have a few furry felines and dogs that I already help take care of.. I have cared for small to medium size dogs in the past and grew up with a house full of pets. Including but not limited to dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, foul/birds, and minimal farm animals. However, every fur buddy or man’s best friend is unique. Let’s communicate on the needs or preferences for your special furry family member and see if I can accommodate. I appreciate your careful consideration. I can be flexible on scheduling and accommodations. Such as pick up/drop off, boarding, full day care, in home care, walks, vet visits and much more. Please be considerate of my time and cancellations and I will do the same respect. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any thing more wonderfully rewarding than to help you care for your furry loved ones. I currently am only caring for a few furry felines and small/medium dogs for close family. I’m looking to expand and see the rest of MidMo and its pet lovers community. Thank you for all your consideration and shares! Fenced in yard.

About: I have experience working with and caring for a variety of animals (Dogs, Cats, Birds, Chickens) including feeding, grooming, exercising, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I have 2 dogs, black/tan coonhound Waylon, and Black/tan mini dachshund Molly, and my orange tabby cat Garfield. Through my interactions with animals, I have developed patience, responsibility, and strong observation skills, allowing me to recognize changes in behavior and respond appropriately to their needs. I am comfortable handling animals in a safe and compassionate manner and understand the importance of maintaining clean living environments, following care routines, and ensuring animals receive proper attention and enrichment. My experience has strengthened my commitment to providing quality care and promoting the welfare of animals. I am currently working part time as a dog groomer but have a lot of time around work to help care for your pets! I'm also available during the weekend. I currently have 3 dogs at my house that use a fenced in yard and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.
