Dog Walking In North Hyde Park

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

“Came over the day before to meet Sawyer. Went for walk on trail near my house even though I said they could just walk the neighborhood. Went above and beyond, would book again!”

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.

About: I take my dog (Louie) on walks daily, so I would love to add your dog to our routine! I’ve been dog sitting for 20+ years, in addition to my family always having at least one dog. I personally love smaller dogs. I have experience with rat terriers, cavapoo, yorkies and cavalier king charles breeds. I love pets and think they’re so important to a family! Let me help you keep your pet happy and healthy 😁 I live on the Plaza so I’m in a very walkable part of town, near many parks. I walk my dog in the evenings after work - a quick workout for both of us. We love to walk around Kansas City together! When I’m home, Louie is always right by my side - on the couch, in bed or even while I’m cooking. I crate him most nights and while I’m at work. I live in an apartment so walks are very necessary - we go on at least one a day or we run in my apartment’s dog park. Would love to add your dog to the mix!

About: Hi! I'm Brooklyn, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I've cared for my own Bulldog and Pitbull/Mastiff mix, giving me experience with both strong, energetic dogs and more relaxed companions. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some exercise, or just a little extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in great hands! I'm available for dog walking on weekends and enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or some fresh air and attention while you're busy, I'd love to help. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and flexible so both you and your dog have a great experience. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I'll always keep your dog securely leashed, follow any instructions you provide, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I'm experienced with larger breeds and understand the importance of staying alert, using proper leash handling, and ensuring every walk is both safe and enjoyable. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: Hello! I have always had pets throughout my entire life, and currently have 2 very fluffy kitties! I have 5 years of childcare experience, 3 of which are in home caretaker/house manager. I enjoy taking care of littles, especially ones with fur! I am currently working part time, which gives me the flexibility to take on pet sitting gigs, most days of the week. I have a very trusty toyota camry as well to get me to where I need to go! I have two cats in my home, they are both girls and both think they are the queen of the house. I prioritize a healthy diet for them, as well as lots of play time to stimulate them and help them get the exercise they want and need.

About: I've had a dog of my own all my life who recently passed, and I've had a bearded dragon, fish, and other animals as well! I've been working with pets for a while now (walking/sitting pretty much everyday) in college and it's one of my favorite jobs I've ever had. I am just starting out on Rover, but I have a High Demand profile on Wag!, with 15+ five star reviews and 13 badges earned through customer satisfaction. I tend to be pretty chill and amicable for new pets, and I work well with seniors and youngsters alike. I just really enjoy meeting new animals and getting to hang out/run around! I'd love to answer any questions you may have for me, I'd even be happy to set up a call to chat face to face if it would make you feel more comfortable! I am on summer break from college right now, so I can make myself available for whatever time you need assistance! I am particularly available for long daytime hours and overnights for those who need a housesitter! I am great at de-stressing pets and am very flexible when working with new challenges. I also am completely able to keep up with pets that like to play and get out and about! I can even bring my own treats if you want!

“Caleb was outstanding. He was so patient with my dog and took the time to allow him to get comfortable before taking him out for a walk the first time. I appreciated Caleb’s kindness and knowing how to respond appropriately to my dog. I’ve already planned more walking appointments with him. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m an animal lover, and have had pets throughout my entire life, primarily dogs and cats but also small animals. I have house sat and pet sat for friends and co-workers on occasion if they leave to go on vacation. I would help feed, walk, clean up after, and play with dogs and cats. I would love to provide love and care for your fur babies while you’re away! Every morning I make sure my pets have food and water before leaving for work for the day. When I get home from work, I will make sure I clean up any messes and do a manual cycle on the Litter Robot. In the evening, I provide my cats with some wet food (primarily pate) as their evening meal. For my cats, I make sure my cats always stay inside to prevent pests and injuries/illnesses.

When sitting in a friend’s house with dogs, I would make sure that their dogs have plenty of water and have eaten that day. I make sure the dogs get to go outside to take care of business, and go for a walk if necessary. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while their owner is away.

“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors animals since a young age. I have grown up around animals because of living on a farm. I only work 3 days a week, so have availability on my off days. I would love to fill those off days with caring for your animal. I am experienced with dog walking with dogs either knowing how to heel or those that pull. I am comfortable with keeping animals safe on walks and during play.
