Dog Walking in Nixa

About: If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy place to rest to fostering bottle fed kittens that I’m just weaning. I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and temperaments, so whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. Your pets will get plenty of attention, affection, and yes—lots of snuggles! I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I can also welcome your pets into my home while you’re gone. I do have my own dogs but my house has two separate areas that can be used. This would include as many potty and sniff breaks as they want in my fenced backyard as well as all the couch snuggles! I’m currently a stay at home mom to school aged kiddos so I have plenty of time to love on your animals! Walks loves and snuggles available! I can provide car in your home or mine! I have a fenced yard at my home and will keep them separate from my animals. I understand how to be respectful in someone else’s home and want to make everyone’s experience positive.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to create a safe and trusting environment.

“Regina has been incredible. As our dog’s first walker, she worked with a very anxious pup who struggled with other dogs, people, and even environmental stimuli like leaves. Since Regina began walking her, we’ve seen significant progress—our dog is now more confident, enjoys her walks, and is more comfortable sharing space with others. We truly appreciate Regina’s patience and consistency.”

About: I've spent my whole life taking care of animals. In the past I have taken care of special needs animals that needed daily shots and special medications. I dog sit for my sister regularly. She has two large dogs. I personally own a golden doodle and two cats. I have potty trained multiple puppies while being a foster puppy mom. As someone who works with kids for my full time job, I'm patient, loving, and empathetic. I will always make sure your pet is cared for and feels loved. During the summer I’m available at any time to take care of your pets. During the school year, I’m available mornings before 8:00 and evenings after 4:00 during the weekday and anytime during the weekend. I can crate your dog for you if needed. I will respect your home and clean up any messes the dog makes if you prefer them to be left out.

About: Hey there! We’re Megan and Patrick! We’re looking to love on your fur babies while you’re away! We love animals so much and this is both our passions. Megan has worked at a Veterinary Clinic for a year as a Veterinary Assistant so I do have training with dogs and cats primarily. We have a 5 year old lab mix named Trek and a 3 year old mini Aussie named Araelia “Rae” and they love meeting new dogs! We will watch your pets in your home & drop in visits. We both work 8 hour shifts but they overlap so your fur baby won’t be alone for long. We go out for potty breaks very regularly and many trips to the dog park. It would be an honor to watch your animals! We treat animals like royalty in our house!❤️ We both work full time. Our schedules work nicely together where if your pets are alone, it's for a very short period of time. Plus, they have Trek and Rae to talk to if they're lonely :) We can do walks, park time, or just let them out on the runner or leash to hang outside, play or go to the bathroom!

“Ginger's first walk with Sara - we love her! Ginger was so happy! Thank you Sara.”

About: I get asked to pet sit for friends and family all the time. I dont just do 10 minute check in's just to feed them and let them go potty. I play with them, spoil them with treats and loves, keep them company for a bit, all of it. I just graduated from high-school, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I would love to spend it taking care of animals so family's dont have to worry about them while away from home. I do have a part time job, but it will be no problem to work around any schedule! I have 6 dogs, Ive been around a ton more, of all sizes and personalities. I love all dogs and I hope all dogs love me. Getting a dog to go potty or get in their crate is no problem for me, I can even teach them some helpful tricks like, sit, lay down, stay, all sorts.

“I had a knee replacement and was unable to walk my dog. Brandi stepped right in and did a great job, taking care of my dog like he is her own. Friendly, personable, and reliable. Highly recommended!”

“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 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.

About: For over 10 years, I’ve been dedicated to caring for all types of cats and dogs, providing reliable and loving service to my family and neighbors. From playful puppies to calm senior cats, I’ve gained experience with pets of all breeds, sizes and personalities. My commitment to their well-being ensures they receive the best care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. I’ve built strong relationships with both pets and their owners, always prioritizing safety and happiness. I am very responsive and try to maintain clear, consistent communication. My availability is kept up to date on my calendar, and I am flexible throughout the day depending on bookings. I can come over for a quick feeding or to spend several hours with your pets, depending on what will benefit them the most. I work remotely, which allows me a lot of flexibility to provide care and attention throughout the day. On rare occasions, I may travel out of town, but I update my calendar well in advance to reflect any changes. I’m always open to coordinating schedules and finding arrangements that work well for both the pet owner and the pets. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help and provide reliable care! I follow a consistent routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. In my own home, my dogs are let out in the morning, midday, and evening, along with daily walks to keep them active and engaged. They are seniors, so I’m experienced with slower paced care and administering medication on a strict schedule, including daily medication for heart disease. I’ve also cared for high energy dogs and puppies! I enjoy keeping them active through walks and play, while always adjusting to their individual needs and energy levels. With cats, I focus on creating a calm, lower stress environments so they can feel safe and build trust at their own pace. I stay on top of litter box cleanliness and make sure they get regular playtime and attention based on their personality. I aim to provide consistent and attentive care for all the animals I take care of!

“Brooke is great! She was able to walk my dog during an appointment I had and Morgan was so happy. They went to a lovely park and she took lots of pictures. I'm definitely having her watch Morgan again!”

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: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have a trustworthy caregiver. I am currently a Frenchie (3yrs) mom, however I have experience with senior care, large dog breeds, and puppy training (under 1yrs)! Also fluent in Spanish if translation services are needed I am currently working part-time so I am frequently available for pet sitting or pet check-ups! I am most available Thursday-Sundays, Mondays & Tuesdays before 2pm! I have a friendly French bulldog that can keep your fur-child company and a mobile grate I can bring if needed. Also I am very attentive to detail and schedule building depending on your pet’s needs!

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, anything from cows to horses to dogs and cats. I am currently in school working on my bachelors degree animal science pre vet.
