Dog Walkers in Portland, MO

About: I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and how important it is to find someone who gets how much your pet means to you. That’s why when caring for others’ pets, I treat them how I’d want someone to care for my own — with lots of love, attention, and playfulness…or calm comfort (whichever suits them best!). I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines, and always keep you updated with cute pics and notes, if desired. Whether your dog’s super social or a couch cuddler, I’ll make sure they feel loved, happy, and cared for! With being in charge of my own schedule, I have the opportunity to be flexible and accommodate many time-based needs. As a private practice clinician, my work hours are typically shorter and of a different time frame than the average 9-5. I have spare time on my hands during week days (and weekends) when most need care! My area of availability is broad as well as I’m local to the Franklin County area, but work in Chesterfield. While I don’t offer in home care out of love and respect for my own dog-children, I can accommodate your environment — whether that be one inside, outside with no fence, outside with a fence, etc.

About: I am an animal science major and absolutely adore animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and have taken care of friends dogs and cats over the past year while also house sitting. I am working part time at a horse clinic while also going to class. I have time in between classes to take out, feed or play animals and after work I can attend to them as well. I live in an apartment so I will not be able to do over nights but would love to take your dog on a walk and play with them to meet their exercise needs!

“Lucas is amazing with my dogs!! They love him. He is responsible, kind, and a dog whisperer. Excellent customer service!!”

About: I have been animal sitting now for the last six years of my life. I have taken animals of all sizes and animals with disabilities and special needs. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 9-5 but I am available anytime outside of the frame. Holidays I am always available for if given enough notice. I like to give lots of attention, let me know what your fur baby likes and doesn’t to help me take the best care I can for them. Lists are a big help for me on anything from what time they eat to when they need their medicine.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I can remember. I have experience in dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and more! Not only do I have two years of formal training to become a certified Vet Assistant I’m also a pre-vet student and currently working as a Vet Tech at a local animal clinic. I’m experienced in anxiety, aggression, administering medications, and more, as well as give daily updates (with pictures)! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I currently take classes in Columbia so will travel between Fulton and Columbia frequently. I have lots of flexibility to take care of pets within my schedule and would be happy to work something out with you that would work best for both you and your pet! I have lots of experience with a variety of cats and dog breeds from my time in Vet Med, so I work hard to make every visit the best experience I can.

“Audrey is fabulous! She helped me out on short notice when the sitter I set for a week cancelled on me. Luna loved her right away! She sent great updates & pictures for each walk this week! Even on the last day, which was rainy, she took Luna on a shorter walk & then played with her keeping her company. I was in Washington, MO this week working at the hospital & I am sad that I won’t get to book Audrey again in the future!”

I am a stay at home momma with my 3 boys. I will be able to provide care for your fur baby all day long. We are very outdoorsy and love to go on walks, play outside, etc. Depending on how your dog does with being off leash, we can keep him/her on leash the whole time or let off to play while we are outside. Must be kid friendly, and we can discuss if you're comfortable with off leash or not. We have 13+ acres for your pup to play on and a fenced in area for those friends who need the accommodation. Of course I can keep your pup on a leash if they need to be, or if you're comfortable with them playing off leash they would get to explore with us. We have one golden retriever who is extremely loving and not phased by anything.

About: What sets me apart is my experience with all types of pets—from training high-energy puppies to caring for senior animals with special needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat pets like family. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is in good hands. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I plan my routine around making sure they feel loved and cared for. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like a chore! Whether I’m in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space and stick to their routine as closely as possible. I’m respectful of your home and always follow any instructions you leave. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, safe, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with multiple dogs in the house (and some cats) and have always been obsessed with animals! I’ve even fostered the last couple years and gotten to know a plethora of breeds and temperaments! I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to prioritize your pet! I would include them in everything I do and always inform you of our every move. I have a back yard and a car if transportation of your pet is needed. I have multiple rooms where your furry friend can choose to be on a couch with company or in his crate by himself.

About: Growing up, I was a part of a program called Human Animal Bonding in Colorado, where I was taught how to connect top dogs emotionally, socially and verbally and use those skills to apply to real life situations, breaking me out of my social, insecure, neurodivergent shell. I've grown up with six big terriers, so I know my way around big, cuddly, dogs. My best friend is a German Shepherd named Ziva. I currently work part-time shifts that can go from 7-2 (Tues), or 7 - 11 (Wed), or 7-4 (weekends). I wish to pursue my dog-loving passions and possibly turn it into a career, alongside with my first responder training, and I hope starting Rover will do that. I take care of big dogs, numerous cats, and six other types of animals at home, so I can't have other animals at home due to the unfamiliarity. I am looking for extra activities, ones that consists outside of work and home because that's all where I am ever at these days. I just moved to Missouri, and I hope to find show the love I have for animals to places beyond my home. I have all kinds of necessary dog/cat accommodations. I have crates if needed, toys, extra food, leashes, etc. In my home, I have two big dogs who are trained to stay on 30 acres of property, they co-exist with barn cats and other various animals. Because of the other critters on the land, I do have to let them outside every time I leave the house. I had a dog that received special medical treatment every day and had to be watched regularly as he grew mean and tiredsome due to his deteriorating health. Fortunately, he is in a better place, but it shows that I can manage and care for dogs all of different behaviors and necessities and if I can use some of that stuff for other dogs, I've love to.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel & I formerly worked at A Second Chance! I grew up around high maintenance & energy dogs (Huskies) which made me very reliable on caring for & cleaning up after them! I’m a very avid animal rescuer, specializing in cats! This year alone I’ve rescued 3 litters of kittens, cared for all & rehomed them to great homes. I’m a proud cat & dog mom!

Due to my working experience, I’m great at problem solving. I’m also very good at keeping company & understanding your animal’s wants & needs. Comfortability is key.

About: Personally I have 6 dogs of my own that I take care of every single day plus two cats! Including a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, purebred Australian shepherd, two mini toy Australian shepherds, a Havanese/Maltese mix, and an English pointer. As you can see no job is too big, or messy lol! I have experience in taking care of multiple dogs at once and I’m different shapes and sizes. I absolutely adore animals and make it my life goal to do everything I can to help and care for them. I’ve bathed, walked, fed, played, and cleaned up after at least 2 dogs at once and have no problem with multitasking by now:). Every year my parents go to Colorado for two-three weeks and I also watch their dogs as well! I have gotten all 6 of my dogs when they were puppies so I definitely have experience with puppy accidents, energy and over all care. I recently had a senior dachshund who lived to be 17. With that in mind, I have experience with giving medications, helping the senior pups getting around, and making sure all their needs are met.
