Dog Walking Raytown

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. They are truly man’s best friend. I’ve had a dog that needed long term care, requiring medical attention and physical assistance. From puppy to senior years, all dogs are just babies. I work full time remotely so I’m available for full day monitoring. I can provide more hands on or hands off services as requested or needed. Pets are family. They are living their life just as we are. My animals are allowed on furniture and laps. I respect that every home is different and follow all individual requests and restrictions.

About: I have been a foster mom and adopter for 18 years. I fostered 50 dogs through a local rescue group. We have had 7 dogs, all but 1 are/ were snow dogs. I'm a part-time small animal physical therapist at ARC where we teach agility and obedience, help rehabilitate cats and dogs with injuries and provide quality of life rehab for seniors or the terminally ill. We took our last babies before they passed to ARC for quality of life, they had degenerative myelopathy and kidney disease, respectively. I fell in love with the place and became a PT. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, they deserve all the spoiling to make their golden years filled with love, comfort and adventure. To me dogs are equal to people and should be treated even better. I have a fenced in back yard and a home made for dogs. We have a four seasons room with a dog door to use. I split the house up according to where your dog is most comfortable while I'm out. We never miss our morning walk. In the summer we take dogs swimming at my in-law's pool 20 minutes in Blue Springs. We also have kiddie pools and a sandbox to discover toys. They can sleep in the bedroom, family room or patio room. If they are kennel training then in their kennel of course, which is in the very comfortable dog room. I am able to administer all types of medication, whether it be oral, injectable, or IV fluids. I am able to do dog CPR, we are also 5 minutes from our vet as well. My home is the ideal vacation spot for your furry friend. About this sitter: I'm a licensed Esthetician and have an in-home spa. I work at ARC part-time, just three afternoons a week. Clearly, I'm a huge dog lover. We previously fostered around 50 dogs for Furry Kids' Refuge. It is my life's work to stop puppy mills. I'm a very active person and enjoy outdoor activities. I live my life for my family and my dogs. "Be the person your dog thinks your are." Boone Pickens. Why I love dog sitting Ever since, I was a child I grew up loving dogs and wanting to stop puppy mills. I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some kind of capacity. I worked on Proposition B with the Humane Society of America. I want to help people feel confident leaving their pets when away from home. About my yard I have a 1/3 acre yard fenced all the way around. We have lots of trees and outdoor dog beds to hang out on under the hammocks. We have lots of squirrels to watch and all of our neighbors have dogs. We have a small wrap around deck that connects to our 4 seasons patio room with a dog door. My experience administering medication I am trained in dispensing all types of medicine; whether it be oral or injectable. I'm also able to do IV fluids and CPR. Your dog(s) will be a part of my family while you are away. They will go about their day doing what they normally do at home. They will be free to play and not be cooped up like at a daycare or vet facility. We have a million toys to play with and a nice neighborhood to walk in and lots of places to nap. We currently have two dogs, they both came from difficult situations, but they love to play with other dogs, it's people that can be intimidating. They prefer people that bring dogs in the house. We do slow introductions. We start with a walking meet and greet around the neighborhood and then we come in the backyard with your dog off-leash to smell and then they can all meet slowly. If all the dogs like each other then I do like a day visit if you will be gone more than a few days, so that your dog is comfy here. If you will be gone more than 2 weeks I recommend a night stay beforehand. I work part-time from home in my spa and part time at ARC on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. We walk every morning and most days I head to the gym after. Perfect time for the dogs to decompress in their own areas and nap. I have a nice fenced in yard with locks on the gates. All dogs are separated by gates and have their own comfortable spaces with multiple rooms. All dogs are fed separately for safety.

“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”

“Olga always does a great job with my four dogs. Ivy has been even walking just with a collar and leash. Olga works on some of their training while she has them and my dogs have fun every week.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including 2 senior dogs and 2 puppies. I currently have 2 dogs of my own—a Pit Bull and a Lab—as well as a cat. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I have 2 dogs and a cat that I care for daily. You let me know what needs to be done and I can do it. I can keep pets separated or I can crate an animal, if preferred. I will care for the animal however you are most comfortable with.

“Just got back from my trip yesterday and Monet did a wonderful job with my Greta. She was patient and professional. She takes pet care very seriously and I’ve already booked her for my next trip.”

“Mya is amazing. My dog immediately liked her. She is very thorough in her communication and professional in our interactions. I have loved having her as my dog walker!”

About: Have looked after animals from Horses, to Dogs, to cats since 15 years of age. I had neighbours in the UK who used to rely on me. And now here in the US. I started out volunteering at an animal shelter in North Wales UK, where I grew up, volunteered at an Equine Therapy centre, where I even received actual training and earnt a certificate. Pet sat for close friends and friends of friends. Have done some dog walking and now work with dogs. I do know how to administer medication if needs be. I’m comfortable looking after any age. And any size. The bigger the better. I do currently work; I work open shifts, which allows me to have more flexibility in my afternoons. I currently own a dog of my own. I would not initially leave mine or yours alone in a room together until tested in small portions. If this was able to happen. Your pet would not be alone and would have a friend whilst I work in the early hours of the morning. Other than that I am very flexible. I have no other commitments besides work. I usually get Sundays and Mondays off, so your pet is guaranteed to have two full days with myself and my own furry companion Doug. Pup cups for the win! Whilst your pet is with me in my own home, I would indeed be keeping your pet on a leash as I do not have a fenced in yard but I LOVE to walk and exercise so they would be getting lots of that as well as extra snuggles and little trips out in the car, so long as they do well with this! My parents live about 15 mins away from myself and have a large fenced in yard where I like to take my fur baby to run and chase after the ball. As long as I had permission to do so, your pet would be able to join in off leash as long as they aren’t clever enough to jump the fence. In your own home I would ask you for a detailed list of instructions. Easy to understand. I can take them for walks, cuddle with them, let them out. Depending on health needs I am comfortable with and do know how to administer medication. I also love to keep pet parents Pupdated and would love to send you pictures of your fur babies’ time whilst you’re away so you know they are safe, well and comfortable.

“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”

About: I'm a longtime cat owner and one-time Pit bull owner, and have spent the last 5 years dog and house sitting across the Kansas City metro area. I've taken care of Corgis, German Shepherds, Jack Russell Terriers, Goldendoodles, Pit bulls, mutts, and a few cats. Auntie Supreme duties include: ear and belly rubs, words of affirmation, dog walks led by their nose only, water and food bowl replenishments, kitty litter scooping, toy throwing. I'm currently working part-time, and my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-in visits weekdays and Saturdays before 3pm, and any time Sundays. Boarding at my home is only available for cats, and is available throughout the week. If I'm caring for a pet in a client's home, I'm doing so in accordance with how they're usually cared for. I'm a big believer in a pet staying in their own home while the owner is away, to avoid the trauma of a kennel but also to avoid the trauma of changing their routine at all. Therefore, I always do walks, meals, treats, etc. as the owner typically does. For pets in my home, the same rules of maintaining the pet's typical routine apply, as much as I can do so in my own space.

“So sweet and flexible! Athena loves her!”

About: Hello!! Just as much as I love hugging people I love snuggling with dogs! My name is Kayla and I recently moved to Brookside MO! I am just a 4 minute walk to a nearby trolley trail. I got my first whiff of being a pet sitter when I became roommates with a couple of friends and their golden poodle! From there on out I became a dog/cat sitter for Rover.! I also shared a beautiful German Shepard / black lab with my best friend! If you are looking for a flexible schedule and a caring friend for your family then you are at the right place! I look forward to meeting your furry family! I am able to work from home if needed! Depending on what your pet needs and if they are being boarded my schedule is pretty flexible. I will follow all the rules of the homeowner whom I am petsitting for. Please let me know if there are any special instructions when pet sitting or coming in for walks.

About: I have two pups at home that I take care of for 8+ hours a day. I love playtime and going on walks with them! I’m working volunteer shifts with a non-profit currently and am on break from school so I have lots of free time and can be in places quickly! I have two dogs in the plaza area. We don’t have a fenced-in yard so we tend to take trips to the local parks to play! Although, that doesn’t stop the zoomies inside haha!

“Erika was able to meet with me on a moment's notice and was very reliable. She even worked it out to drive a little farther than she would have liked. Thank you Erika!”

About: Had dogs and cats my whole life. I have had as small of a dog as tea cup chihuahua and as big of a dog as a German shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix. Love cats too but honestly I'm more of a dog person. I have cat sit for friends and family before and happy to do that to!! I work full time in the operating room 7a-5:30p, except for Wednesdays and weeekends. I have two boys aged (age 3 and 5) every other weekend. Currently no pets but we've had dogs and the boys do well with small and big dogs alike. They loveeee cats. I let animals on my furniture, provide lots of snuggles, back/belly rubs, fetch, walks outside and happy to let off leash trained dogs roam in my backyard depending on the owners preferences and how well behaved the dog is. Happy to follow whatever schedule you need for you fur baby.

About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life, we always had at least one in our care as I was growing up. When I was 13 I got my first puppy, I potty trained him, leash trained him and trained him on the basics with a few tricks. When I turned 19 I became an Animal Caretaker for a dog daycare and boarding facility and loved it! I cared for up to 20 dogs at a time, observing dog behavior for any signs of aggression, anxiety distress or medical needs. I provided personalized care for dogs who needed it including giving shots, giving pills, staying up to date on their dietary guidelines and any restrictions they required, as well as any behavioral issues to look out for. I also maintained a clean environment for the safety of the dogs and staff. While I am not a certified dog trainer, I do know approved methods of correction and redirection for dogs. I will not correct your dog's behavior unless specifically asked, and we can talk about what is best for you and your pet! I have worked with dogs of all ages from a few months old to senior dogs as well as dogs of all sizes from teacup chihuahuas to great danes! I know leaving your pet in someone else's care is scary, which is why I emphasize that your and your furball's wellbeing are my number one priority! My schedule is currently unpredictable so this will be updated weekly. Mondays- Full availability Tuesdays- Before 3:30pm and after 9pm Wednesdays- After 3:00 Thursday- Full availability Friday- Before 3:00 Saturday- Full availability Sunday- Before 10am and After 8pm Currently I live in an apartment with my two cats, they are groomed daily, the litter boxes are always clean, water fountains are always running and of course they have a clean open environment for their zoomie sessions! My motto is to leave a place better than I found it!

“If I could have Evey as Gus's personal nanny, I would! She is top notch from communication, to pictures, to reliability. She goes the extra mile and truly enjoys what she does and it shows!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and currently have two wonderful cats. I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior cats needing extra attention. I am experienced with high-need and elderly pets, and I always treat every animal like they're a part of my own family. I currently work a full-time job, but I have plenty of time to stop by before and after work for playtime and check-ins, or to house-sit overnight. I am fully available on weekends for any care your pet might need. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space. I stick closely to your routine- feeding times, walks, play, and any special care instructions - so that your pet's day stays familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention and care while you are away.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and any other animal you can think of. I've owned animals my whole life and often volunteer at local shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to care for any sweet babies. I go to the dog park 5 days a week for at least an hour. I also go on 30-45-minute walks with my boys. I have two boys; one is a puppy. They're both great with other animals. I have a puppy-proofed house with plenty of room, toys, and treats for any babies.
