Pet care experience

Let me care for your pets!

I grew up with a dog for much of my childhood. I previously volunteered at KC Pet Project helping walk the shelter dogs. This has given me experience walking all kinds of dogs, big and small. It has also given me experience walking dogs that pull on their leash or like to bite the leash. I also previously fostered dogs through KCPP including a beagle mix, bulldog, dachshund and numerous pitbull mixes. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule to come walk your dog! In the past I accepted dogs into my home to care for while their owners were away. We had our first child in November so at this time I am only accepting dogs I have previously cared for to be boarded at my home. My husband grew up with dogs his whole life and loves to play fetch or tug anytime the dog wants to! He does work a lot outside the home, so it is primarily me that will be caring for your dog. We live in a house that has a fenced in yard which is on the smaller side, but big enough to burn off extra energy and chase a ball! I also have experience caring for cats in their own home while their owner is on vacation on multiple occasions.

Very dependable. My dog has been much calmer when we get home from work after a mid-day walk with Malissa!

Safety, trust & environment

We do not have any pets in the home but do have a son born in November 2023. We have a small fenced in back yard. We are also close to a walking trail.

A typical day

Playing fetch or tugging on a rope. Getting up from my desk to take walks is important so your dog will get the exercise as well!

Our neighbors have a dog that likes to come check out who is staying at our house. She will sometimes run the fence with the dog we are watching and sometimes she doesn't care to even interact with them.
