Dog Walking River Bend

“Kat is the best there is at taking care of our Stella. Even though she's getting paid to walk our golden retriever, she always has a sweet hello and treats for our two cats. I think I love her comments the best because I feel like I went on dog walks with her.”

“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”

About: I grew up on a farm with many types of animals and hard work. I have worked in veterinary clinics as a kennel attendant and now a veterinary assistant for over 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I'm comfortable caring for elderly and sick pets as well as giving medications. I live and work in the Liberty MO area. I am an early morning person and can do early morning drop in visits and walks before 7 am (including weekends and holidays). I typically get my lunch break between 12-2 pm. I can come and do a drop in visit or do a short walk over my break. Evenings are a possibility but are less flexible and open. I can offer enrichment with treats, playtime and exercise. I like a good cuddle session as well as a hyper wrestling match, or active fetch game. I enjoy being out in God's creation and am open to more nature based walks if you have an active curious pup (like my own dog). I think cats should also be enriched and loved. I like playing games with cats and helping them feel comfortable and spoiled. I have owned a lizard of my own and am not afraid of reptiles or rodents. I think exotic pets need enrichment, entertainment, and love as well.

“Tiffany is AMAZING!! Mater looked for here every day for his walk and to chill on the couch with her. She is always available and communicates really well!! She takes pictures and leaves treats even! She treats our Mater like her own pup. Couldn’t ask for a better pet walker!!!!”

“Billie is so wonderful! We could not peacefully go to work without her help. Our dog is always happy when I get home and the house is always locked and secured after her departure. THANK YOU!”

About: Animal-lover who started volunteering with rescues over a decade ago. Experienced with dogs, including reactive dogs(I have one of my own), cats, birds, and various other pets. Feel free to share the training commands you'd like to work on with your pet and I will try to work them in where I can during my visit. I will treat your pets like my own(my dog is incredibly loved and spoiled) Currently working freelance so my schedule is flexible. Able to work most visits into my schedule without issue, but if there's a visit that won't work, you'll know as soon as I do so other arrangements can be made Only open to dropping by and house-sitting bookings at the moment because my own dog can be reactive and we currently live with a cat, but I'm a great caretaker and a top choice for my friends when they need a sitter. Responsible, reliable, and focused on giving your pet the best care possible for their needs

“My dogs are in love! They can’t get out the door fast enough when Michaela pulls into the drive. They come home exhausted!! Michaela is personable and flexible, I appreciate her.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)

“So sweet and flexible! Athena loves her!”

About: Hi! My name is Ella, and I’m a college student with experience caring for both children and animals. I currently work as a nanny. So I’m very used to being responsible, dependable, and attentive. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience helping care for dogs and cats through pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also have cats of my own and genuinely love spending time with animals. I have a ragdoll cat named sugar and she is my everything. I will make sure to treat your pet as if they were my sugar, I know how important pets are. I’ll always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away 😊 I currently work part-time as a nanny, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to make sure your pets are comfortable and well cared for! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special instructions provided. I’m very attentive during walks and visits and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pets. And I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and care like they’re my own

About: I've been around animals my entire life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I grew up with dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of different personalities and needs. Currently, I have a large, energetic dog and a bunny of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for both dogs and small animals. I also previously volunteered as a foster for a local humane society, where I cared for dogs as they adjusted to new environments and prepared for their forever homes. That experience taught me patience, how to read animal body language, and how to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own pets. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring hands. I am currently on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible. After summers I am free for drop ins in the morning and after school, and weekends! I have worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I look forward to loving your pup like my own for a short time! I will send updates and pictures while you are away!

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover ever since I can remember. Rest assured, you fur-baby is in good hands with me. Animals are my passion; working with them is a bonus! I work from home, & my availability is fairly open. I can also be pretty flexible to accommodate different schedules, making things a little more stress-free! In my home, my fur-baby is treated just as a human would be. She’s very well trained, so I don’t use any methods of locking her up when I leave. She is free to roam! I will do what you prefer and what accommodates your lifestyle.

About: I have had dogs in the family since I was 5. I loved playing, taking them on walks and snuggling with them. I have also taken on the responsibilities of feeding, grooming and cleaning up after dogs. As of right now I am currently not working a full time job so I have a lot of availability for dog walking, sitting and boarding! I live on the same property as mine and my husbands home church in a parsonage. We do not have a fence right now but there is a playground on the church property that we used to take our dog to before she passed away and she loved it!

About: I’ve been experienced in the veterinary medicine field for about 2 years, working as a receptionist and also a kennel technician taking care of pets. Before I went into vet medicine I worked at a doggy daycare for almost 2 years, I was taking care of boarded pets (cats and dogs) and also working as a receptionist. I love to build relationships with pets and owners and care for them to the best of my ability I'm available Wednesday through Saturday with flexible hours and can provide walks, and drop-in visits. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each dog's unique needs. I understand every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always make it a priority to follow instructions closely including, feeding schedules, medications(if needed), and any special preferences. In a clients home I focus to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection.

About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have a stubborn Pitbull that I've trained for service animal work. I'm not scared of any specific breeds! I also have had cats my entire life! I love giving cuddles. My baby is allergic to everything so I am also very familiar with allergies. Walking isn't a problem. I prefer pups that are gentle on leashes but am willing to work with the most advanced pullers! I am willing to stay over night if needed. I also prefer people on the night shift as I dont sleep well at night. I follow directions well and I also have to give my boy allergy medication so if that is needed I am not afraid to give them but would prefer a written document stating it is okay for me to give and written directions on how you give the medication *example 1 apoquel tab at what time* I work until 5 but am available after that. I am available on holidays and weekends as well. I work with all breeds. Pitties of course are my favorite Currently my house isn't big enough to have animals stay with me. I prefer coming out to your house where the dog or cat is familiar.

“Kristen provided dog walking and indoor play (when very cold) for my newly adopted Goldendoodle. I appreciated the level of communication she maintained with me and her professionalism. My dog responded very well to Kristen’s care and direction too. I had no qualms about leaving my home open to Kristen—she was very trustworthy. I would not hesitate to call on her again for assistance in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Jennifer! I used to go to animal shelters and volunteer in the cat houses and then switch off to walk dogs to help them get the exercise they need.

I have several years of reliable pet care experience. I work full time but am able to take animals out with me while I am at work! My wife and I have our evenings free to take care of and love your animals! I am very flexible and trustworthy in the pet parent’s homes. I do have other animals, so it’s important that if I care in home, that they are okay with other animals!. Other than that, I have a dog who LOVES to play with other dogs!

About: Throughout my life I have had many pets and also took care of my livestock on my childhood farm.
