Dog Walkers in McKinley, MO

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid who lived on a little farm. My experience ranges from birds, ferrets, reptiles, & cats, dogs. Animal care has always been something I’m passionate about. I know how important my animals are to me and so I will take the best care of yours while you’re away. I am a full time teacher so pet care is on the evenings most of the time. I can schedule weekends ahead of time and be available all day to let your loved ones outside as needed. During the summer my availability will be wide open! My pets are treated like a member of the family. I think that animals in our care should be shown love and grace because we chose to take care of them.

About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.

“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”

About: I have loved dogs since childhood and over the last 11 years I have fostered and adopted senior dogs to give them a forever home. I’m currently home full-time, so your dog will have my full attention, company, and care around the clock. Whether it’s belly rubs, gentle walks, or just relaxing together, I make sure each dog feels at home. I have a secure, pet-friendly home with plenty of space and a calm environment—perfect for seniors, anxious pups, or dogs that just need some extra TLC. I have a big fenced yard with a doggy door so they can come and go as they please. I just lost my senior boxer, Taylor, so it’s just me and my big rescue, Hank, a hound mix. I’ve cared for countless dogs in this home, including special need seniors.

“Jodi is absolutely amazing! She is very thorough and thoughtful of my dogs needs. Even when unexpected things happen she is very accommodating. I completely trust that when she is watching my fur child, she has their best interest at heart!”

“Morgan has been wonderful! I was able to get her on fairly short notice and she made sure we were able to do a meet and greet first. She was very friendly and gave lots of attention to my animals. She walked different routes each time with the dogs so they could get new sights and smells! Superb effort and attitude!”

About: I would love to dog sit for you! I have a dog of my own and I’ve helped raise dogs all of my life. I love playing with high energy dogs as well as lounging around with the older ones. I have taken care of many friends and family’s dogs and I enjoy it! I can also help with basic training such as “sit, stay, and shake”. I work a part time job that allows me to have flexibility so I am available anytime with the exception of 2-4 hour jobs that I may have in the mornings/afternoons on some days. You can trust me with your fur babies while you are gone! I love animals and I would never hurt them. I have helped take care of animals my whole life so I can handle tough situations.

About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and have come to consider them all a part of the family. From Geckos to Hermits, Fish to Frogs, and Cats to Dogs, I've housed a variety and have loved them all to the core! I am particularly familiar with Medium sized dogs, but I am no stranger to the big, the bad, or the snugly. For cats, I can be a bit squeamish when it comes to litter, but that is nothing a mask or a nose clip won't fix! As a full time college student, online classes allow my schedule to be very flexible. My grades are important, but nothing motivates me more than a happy pet and a satisfied customer! As someone who understands that home is a place to escape the daily riff raff, I am willing to keep visits as quick and simple as possible or as long and engaging as preferred. A meet and greet is encouraged so I can better understand the needs of your pet and so that the pet and I can become familiar.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while providing the best care possible for their furry family members. I am also skilled at basic training commands and am willing to teach your pet how to sit, lie down, come, etc. I am currently enrolled in college 3 days a week, but have plenty of time in between classes and on the other weekdays and the weekend to care for your pet. I am willing to follow explicit instructions to ensure the proper care and safety for your pet while in your home. I can clean, give regular frequent walks, and even bathe your pet if needed.

About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

About: I've taken care of my Chihuahua for 15 years. I also took dog training for a while. I'm super caring and love all animals. I will gladly watch your pet! I currently work remotely, full time so I will be able to take your pet out as much as they need. I am home most of the day. I live in a house with a nice fenced in backyard. My Australian Shepherd, Elsa loves to play fetch outdoors, while my Chihuahua tans in the sun.

“Sadie loves Katelynn! She was very sweet and was very thorough when taking care of my dog Sadie. I will be using her again!”

Anything more is an additional $10 per hour. *** I have a large fenced in yard that allows the ability for pups to run around, play together or alone, and expel their never ending energy.

About: I have provided a range of services from dog walking to pet sitting. My services include supporting animals with specific medical needs. Some of the special medical needs I've provided services for include: administering prescribed medications to cats and dogs, caring for animals with separation anxiety and bone and joint problems. I understand how important fur babies are so I care for them like they're my own <3 Providing quality pet care is my focus. I offer a wide range of availability with a flexible schedule.

About: My mom and I have brought a few dogs into our home since I was little, and spoiled them to pieces (as they should be!) I’ve bathed, brushed, and clipped the nails of each one of my dogs to keep them looking beautiful! I will be attending college classes for an hour M-Th. Other than the hour of classes, I can come care for and entertain your dogs as needed! I am able to make best friends with every dog I meet!

I love going on walks with my dog and would look forward to taking yours on walks as well! I would take them out multiple times a day to play and potty, and would ensure they’re getting great care!

About: Growing up I’ve been surrounded by many different kinds of animals between cows and horses to snakes and dogs. Currently I’m a manager at a dog boarding/daycare facility and have been for almost 3 years. Working there has widened my experience with many different kinds of dogs. I’ve learned how to take care of unable animals between simply being blind to being fully paralyzed, how to administer different kinds of medications even medical shots, and how to safely take care of animals with them still having an absolute blast. Outside of work I help family and friends with their furry animals with walking, potty brakes, and full house/dog sitting. In the past two years I’ve become involved in the rescue industry by putting on my own adoption event and helping whenever they need it. I’ve learned that animals being taken care of by someone other than their owner feel so much better when you treat them like you would your own. My work schedule changes on a week to week basis but I work 7-5:30 or half shifts and have an hour and half lunch break for dog walking. Once I’m off I’m completely able to do whatever is needed for your animal. I will take care of your animal however you would take care of them. Every animal owner has a different way of raising them and I’m flexible to do anything you want.
