Dog Walkers in Pocahontas, MO

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.

About: What sets me apart is my years of experience caring for a variety of pets (cats, dogs, fish), along with a reputation for being reliable, communicative, and respectful of clients' homes. I've been pet sitting and house sitting since my early teens, and many pet owners have trusted me for repeat stays thanks to the consistent care I provide. I'm adaptable to each pet’s personality—whether they need active playtime, quiet companionship, or specialized care. I’m also experienced with administering daily medications, including pills, ointments, eye drops, and even medicated baths. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I am currently a full-time student and therefore am mostly free throughout the summer. The only exception is from June 2- June 22 when I will be studying abroad. Other than my study abroad trip, I am free to provide timely care whenever needed over the summer. My dog enjoys frequent walks due to our lack of yard in the city. My dog is reactive and has had poor experiences with off-leashed dogs. I always consider my dog's safety and past experiences when walking him in public areas. One way I do this is to communicate clearly to strangers that my dog is reactive and should not be pet, I can communicate your pet's needs clearly to other pet owners/ strangers who we may encounter while on walks. At home, I make sure to spend time with my dog and not leave him alone in other rooms. Depending on your pets personality and needs, I can accommodate accordingly.

About: I grew up in a household that bred rottweilers so I know the importance of good training and leadership with puppies. I have had many dogs in my life so I am experienced in all stages of a dogs life, including special needs dogs. I currently have two husky mixes that are high energy so I know the importance of going on a good walk. I am comfortable with all sizes of dog, from teacup to giant and ALL breeds I am currently working full time but have mornings and days off free to take care of your pets. I have a set schedule so I should be able to set a routine if you'd like I will keep your dog on a leash at all times outside of the home. I will also make sure to keep an eye on them at all times while they are in my care.

About: I know the struggle is real when trying to find someone to watch your fur baby. Although, we haven't met in person, I hope to gain a bit of your trust for caring for your pet(s) with this short paragraph. Growing up, my family always had a "family" dog so since I was a young girl I have always enjoyed taking care of our pets. Now that I am an adult, I have made the choice to become a vegan because I believe all animals are worth fighting for. I spend most of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter. My husband and I have four dogs; all of which we adopted from a local shelter. Our families and friends tease us about how much we "spoil" and "pamper" our dogs, but to us, these furry creatures, are family. With all this said, I would be honored to help take care of your furry creatures by walking them when your schedule is pressed for time, going to your home to check in while you’re away, and all together showing them the love I believe all animals deserve. While deciding on my future career, I have a bit of time on my hands. I am currently available Monday through Friday to walk and play with your fur babies. I am also available for day or night check-ins at your home. Although, I can’t stay overnight with your pet(s), I am more than happy to go to your home several times throughout the day and spend time with your furry family while you are away. I will meet your pet’s needs in whatever environment you and your pet feel most comfortable! Does your pet need company for a few hours, a quick potty break, or a long walk? I am happy to help!

About: I have taken care for pets since I was 16. Usually for friends and family. I feel ready to expand and care for others’ pets. I grew up around dogs and cats and have always known that I love them. I’m entering my senior year of college for education. I run track for semo, leaving me with lots of time to care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard but I live on a very safe street where many walks can be provided. I also can easily crate your pet if needed. I don’t mind to travel to a park to get some running in .

“Breonne, went above and beyond with my dog. I am here for training and I was worried about my dog, she made me feel at ease and kept me informed while she walked my dog. I would highly recommend her, taking care of our fur babies. 5 stars all day.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple types of pets. Dogs and Cats included. My family has always counted on me to walk their dogs and feed their animals when they’re too busy and or away from home. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom so I have all the time in the world to walk your fur babies and play with them. I have my dog on a schedule but she has more than enough toys and chews to pick from. She enjoys the fact that she is overly spoiled. She’s leash trained. (Kinda)

About: *Visit my Facebook @ Dani's Dogs for more information and reviews! My whole life revolves around my dogs. They are both friendly and sociable with others. I have had dogs my entire life, and they have always been my best friends and a part of my family-- not just dogs. I wouldn't be whole without them! Dogs are my passion, and I hope to one day open a doggy day care, so I can spend 24/7 around my best friends. I would be so incredibly honored to be able to care for your furry best friend, and of course, I will treat them as family, as one of my own. I work from home, so I am able to be with my girls all day long. We typically go on at least 2-3 short walks outside every day. I have crates for my girls and plenty of space for them to roam. I can allow leashed or unleashed time to play or run.

“Emma was quick to respond to our booking request, even though we were last minute. We really appreciate her taking care of our pups for us. Great communication. Thank you, Emma.”

My husband is also available to help out with care when needed (if okay with you. He would never go without approval). I am well versed in long and short walks with dogs as well as administering any needed medications except via injection. As a dog mom myself, I keep a watchful eye on any pup in my care to ensure their safety and wellbeing. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

About: I think it’s important to none only be trusted with your fur baby, but also know they are being taken care of exactly the way you would like. My fur babies have specific instructions with reasons why, so I know how important it is. I have experience working with feral cats and at an animal shelter and grooming salon, so I have a wide range of experience with many different animals, seeing them at their worst, and having the needed patience to remain an empathetic, gentle, loving caretaker. With my animals, and animals I have rescued, I have lots of experience medicating animals including giving shots for diabetes and I own and have trained a deaf dog. I am also a dog trainer and growing to help any dog with any behavior issues. My schedule is currently completely flexible because I am taking online classes. I’m an early riser, so I can take your dog on a walk while it’s cooler outside. I like to follow the instructions left for me as closely as possible. I think it’s important to stick to the dog’s routine in order to feel more comfortable.
