Dog Walking Mission Lake

“Hollys communication is great! I appreciate that she was willing to cut walks short during a heat wave and hang with Pepe inside a little bit to give him the full time together!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for my family dog since we got her as a puppy, helping with her training and taking full responsibility for her care whenever my parents are away. Growing up around animals has given me a natural connection with them and an understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention they need. In addition to my experience with pets, I have over 1,000 hours of patient care experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and will be starting nursing school this fall. My healthcare background has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and ability to provide dependable care. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I will care for yours with the same empathy, responsibility, and dedication that I bring to caring for my patients. I recently graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Public Health and am spending the summer in Kansas City before starting nursing school in August. My schedule is very flexible, with only a few appointments throughout the week, which allows me to be highly available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs. I would love to help care for your pets whenever you need an extra hand. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I am reliable and able to travel to your home to provide the care your pet needs, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, or companionship. I have strong communication skills and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I am highly detail-oriented, follow instructions carefully, and understand that every pet has unique needs. My goal is to care for your beloved pet as if they were a member of my own family.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and grew up taking care of both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. I have experience with feeding, walking, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs and a cat of my own. I’m used to regular feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get attention throughout the day. Because of this, I’m very flexible and can easily fit in check-ins, walks, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m consistent, reliable, and make sure every pet gets the time and care they deserve. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. With two friendly dogs and a cat at home, I’m experienced in managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I always prioritize safety, whether that means supervised interactions, keeping pets on their normal routine, or separating animals if needed. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m often told I love animals more than humans and honestly, that’s pretty accurate. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I started as a dog walker and pet sitter at just 12 years old, and over time, that passion has grown into years of hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I currently have a very loved cat of my own and spend my free time volunteering with the Lawrence Humane Society, fostering neonatal kittens, and the Kansas City Pig Rescue Network, which has given me experience with a wide range of animals, personalities, and care needs. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just someone calm and caring to be there, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and secure while you’re away, and that you feel completely confident they’re in good hands. I work in healthcare with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pet. On my days off, I’m fully available for visits, drop-ins, and extended care. I’m also available before or after shifts depending on the day. I’m very intentional with my bookings and will only accept requests that I’m confident align with my schedule, so your pet always receives reliable, consistent care. I’m communicative and will keep you updated with photos and check-ins. attention to detail are my top priorities. I also have hands-on experience working with dogs and cats at the Lawrence Humane Society, where I’ve cared for animals who are often timid, neglected, or previously abused. This has strengthened my patience and ability to read animal behavior, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and trusting environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, including those who need extra patience or a slower approach. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely. I provide attentive, compassionate care and always keep you updated so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I absolutely love taking care of home pets! You will feel stress-free with me while taking care of your animals until you return home. I believe that animals need more love and care than just being let outside and fed. I have house and pet sat for two summers now, and I really love it! I am home from college, looking to have a simpler job during the summer! I am fully available all week and usually the weekends as well unless I'm on a trip! Very open to anything. I have a fenced yard for my pup at home, which helps them have more fun outside! I could also crate the animal if that is what is needed.

“Madison was so great and came in last minute when I needed someone! She gave me lots of updates and checked in with me often! Definitely recommend!”

“Sarah seemed like she took care of my dog the way she would take care of her own!”

About: I own a dog myself and have raised her and trained her on my own since I was 14. I love being surrounded by all types of dogs and their own little personalities. I’m a college student, so with the summer starting I want to dedicate my time spending it with dogs! I enjoy taking them on walks to give both of us some exercise! I care for my own dog by prioritizing activness. She loves to go outside, with our fenched in backyard, and we play with a ball. I also love taking her for walks. But outside time isn’t always available, so I like to teach her new tricks or (gently) play with a toy inside. I think it’s also important to prioritize their health, making sure they eat and drink plenty of water.

About: I've been taking care of my own pets (4 cats and 1 dog) for years and used to work as a Rainbow Valley vet clinic walker and boarder! I am currently living in Kansas City and my beloved kitty Nala who joined me up here passed in October. So I currently do not have any pets at home and would love some company boarding animals! I love watching both cats and dogs 🥰 I work from home and have very flexible work hours, so I have plenty of time for boarding and walking! I live in a house with a yard and have plenty of space for your pets to roam indoors! I have a medium sized yard for dogs and a house all to myself most of the time for animals to have their space! I love boarding overnight because of animal cuddles. I don't have a fence, but if your dog has a harness it won't be a problem at all!

About: Since a child, I grew up with 4 dogs. My life has always had dogs around. We also owned horses, goats, chickens and more, so animals are my favorite. I watch after my friends, parents and family's dogs. I'm okay with giving meals/ medication as request; cheese and turkey wrapped pills are the way 😉. I'm a work from home environment. I'm around my dogs 80% of my day. They are taken on regular bathroom breaks and play breaks. To help release energy, long walks are also taken. If I need to head out, they are crated until I return to avoid any incidents. We have a fence yard and my parents two other dogs spend time together. As well with weekly walks with my 2 other nieces/dogs. They are kept on leashes when on walks. They are also given lots of treats :)
