Dog Walkers in McGirk, 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!

I am a stay at home momma with my 3 boys. I will be able to provide care for your fur baby all day long. We are very outdoorsy and love to go on walks, play outside, etc. Depending on how your dog does with being off leash, we can keep him/her on leash the whole time or let off to play while we are outside. Must be kid friendly, and we can discuss if you're comfortable with off leash or not. We have 13+ acres for your pup to play on and a fenced in area for those friends who need the accommodation. Of course I can keep your pup on a leash if they need to be, or if you're comfortable with them playing off leash they would get to explore with us. We have one golden retriever who is extremely loving and not phased by anything.

About: I have four years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I also have four dogs of my own, so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I’m confident administering medications if needed, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I have four dogs and three cats of my own, each with a set feeding routine and potty schedule that I follow daily. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! My mother owns a grooming business just down the road, so I’ve grown up around professional pet care and often help out there as needed. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience with animal health and daily care. In addition, I help manage our family farm operation with cattle and horses at my grandparents’ place. Taking care of animals is something I do every single day—and something I truly love! I live on about three peaceful acres along a quiet gravel road, with a small fenced-in area in the backyard and a large open front yard for plenty of room to play. I have two friendly large dogs who stay outdoors to help keep the property safe, and two smaller indoor dogs who love to keep our guests company. All of my dogs are very social and gentle with new friends! If your pup prefers to stay on leash, I’m happy to offer leash walks for their comfort and safety. My animals follow a consistent morning and evening routine, and I have crates available if that’s part of your dog’s normal setup. My cats are also friendly and loving, and there are several cozy dog beds throughout the house for your pet to relax on. At night, the dogs sleep in the bedroom—so your furry kiddo is more than welcome to snuggle right in! My home is calm and quiet (no children), and I’m typically home every day by 3 p.m. or earlier. On most days, I don’t leave until around 9 a.m.—and often, I’m home all day giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.

“Karisa did a great job of taking case of my 8 month old puppy. She gave her walks and did drop in visits.”

“Jennifer did an excellent job with Janky! Janky is pretty shy and hesitant about being around new people, but she warmed up to Jennifer very quickly. I was very happy with Jennifer and the updates I received from their walks. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is hesitant about using Rover - she’s excellent and you won’t regret choosing her to care for your pet.”
