Dog Walking River Bend

“Billie Jo is amazing! We have a temperamental rescue and she was fantastic with him. Knew exactly how to handle him and when not to push. It made me feel at ease knowing our pup was taken care of while we weren’t home.”

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.

“Kamila has been taking my Goldendoodle on walks while I am at work and has been so amazing! She communicates very well with me and has been so flexible with my nursing schedule. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone!!”

“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’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. :)

“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!!!!”

“Michaela has been walking my dogs twice a week since November. She is always on time, my dogs wait for her every day! Every day! They love Michaela, returning home exhausted and happy. She even cleans their muddy paws when they come home! Perfect dog walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and have done pet sitting jobs for close friends and family. I have a passion for animal wellness and I worked in the veterinary industry as a vet assistant on and off for the past 5 years!! I’m good at handling high energy dogs, geriatric dogs, small and large breeds, and so on! I’m currently completing my masters degree in Applied Bioscience in Animal Health online! I also work part-time so I have a very flexible schedule. We can definitely work something out! At home, I care for 5 dogs and 1 cat. So, alongside my veterinary experience, I know the ins and outs of what dogs do and don’t like. At home visits and dog walking services will be up to the owners specifications!

“So sweet and flexible! Athena loves her!”

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

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 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.

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.

About: For most of my life I have owned a dog and for all of my life I have loved dogs! As I kid, I helped care for my family dog, Dexter, until he was 17 years old. Currently, my wife and I have a 28 lb. Beagle/Lab mix Riley. She's such a joy in our lives. I know how important your dog is to you, so I will care for yours like she/he is mine, with lots of love, playtime, walks and great care. Now that I’m a stay-at-home dad I have so much more time to spend with Riley and you’re dog, too! From young puppies to seniors, I have cared for a wide range of sizes, needs, and breeds. Each dog requires special care and I am here to provide just that. I am willing to make most requests and special accommodations. Ask and I will let you know if I can meet your needs. In addition to walking and visiting with your dog, communication and updates are important services that I provide. When I am away from my pet, I want to know she's okay and receiving the best care. I'll send as many or as little photos of your fur baby as you'd like, so you can confidently know that she/he is being take care of; the photos will also give you a little smile to get you through the day. We also have a 9 year old cat, Moby. He keeps to himself and his cat tree on most days, but we occasionally receive some lap visits from him.

About: I’ve always had a dog and multiple cats at home and have several years of experience with different dogs and cats!

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!

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!

“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.”
