Dog Walking in Saint Joseph

About: I've either owned or taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I love furry friends and I'd love to help you. I'm currently working a position remotely with some minor travel. Checking on your pet, playing with your pet, or walking. Your pet is easy to fit in my schedule. I have a shaded backyard and garden that animals love. They sit on the porch and sleep all day. My house is heated and cooled based on the time of year.

About: I provide personalized, attentive care to every pet I watch, treating them like family. With experience in puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications, I understand the unique needs of pets at every life stage. My focus is on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you peace of mind. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy cat, energy for an active pup, or gentle care for an aging pet, I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality and needs. I can also offer flexible scheduling with daytime, evening, and weekend availability to fit your busy life. My flexible schedules allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even on evenings and weekends, so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands at all times. I provide care in your home, so your pets can stay in their familiar, comfortable environment. This allows them to maintain their normal routines and feel safe while you’re away. My services are flexible and tailored to each pet’s needs, whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication administration, or extra attention for senior pets.

About: I have worked previously in veterinary clinics as an assistant and as a pet-sitter for family members. I have a lot of knowledge about the behaviors and temperment of animals as well as a love and compassion for them! I am a college student with a lot of free time between classes and in the evenings to care for your pets. I also have a very open schedule on the weekends. I take clients' requests very seriously when it comes to how they wish for their animals to be taken care of in their home while in my care. It is a priority that they stay happy and comfortable!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was at least 10 years old. I have pet sat, walked, fed, bathed, and helped provide basic training for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to care and love for their pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life! They love unconditionally and deserve to be spoiled with walks, play, love and treats!! My own pets and experiences with other animals has brought me so much joy that I want to give back to those animals that live in my community! I work as a teacher Monday-Friday so during the week I’m only available in the evening. Weekends are much more open! However, once summer hits I will be available during the day, evening, and weekends! I have had experience with dogs and cats as pets! When I had dogs I would provide daily walks, feedings twice a day, water, and of course daily plays. On top of that, grooming was a top priority to keep them clean and brushed so their coat and skin is well cared for. I currently have two cats! They are fed twice a day and their liter boxes are emptied every day as well. They are brushed regularly. They are inside kitties and play with the toys provided to them and take lots of cat naps between sun bathing in the sunlight! ☺️

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛

About: I have had animals all my life and have watched neighbors cats and dogs! I will do my very best to treat your babies like my own! <3 I am on the Missouri Western Women’s Basketball team but i have most of the morning, afternoons, and some of the evenings off. I am medical redshirting so I have more availability than normal. I have 3 dogs back home and 1 living here in Missouri with me, along with 3 cats, and a guinea pig. I love my animals like my children and the dogs vary in size our biggest is 105 pounds and the smallest is 6 pounds.

About: Hello, and thank you so much for considering me. Over the years I have been entrusted with the care of many friend's and family's pets. I am comfortable and have experience with all ages from very young animals to senior animals to include special needs. I have owned animals my entire life and currently am "mom" to two German Shepherds, two Great Pyrenees, One Australian Shepherd' a rabbit, and a flock of chickens. Furthermore, I am a retired service member that has traveled extensively for extended periods of time, so I know from experience how important it is to find the right person that is trustworthy enough bring into my home to care for and love my pets. As I stated, I am a retired Army Non Commissioned Officer. And It has been my dream for quite some time to work with animals in this capacity. So I am now a full time pet care professional. I understand that it can be difficult for an animal when their humans are gone and I will lovingly and patiently establish trust and create bond with your pet so that they are comfortable and have a fun filled experience while you are gone. I love all of my animals. They are the world to me. I really love to spend time walking, playing, and grooming them. I lead my pack with love. And of course, when I come into your home-- I will treat yours as I do mine. So with me, they will have lots of play time, plenty of of walks, and as much cuddle time as they want. Therefore, you can rest assured that I will respect your home, honor your wishes, and that your pets will receive the absolute highest level of care, attention, and affection while they are under my care.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I bring a deep personal commitment to every pet I care for. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dogs I'll dedicate my time to really getting to know them and their preferences. I have shared my home with several senior pets over the years and understand the specialized attention they require. Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially attuned to their comfort, routines, and medical needs. I have three pets - a spunky, energetic Chihuahua and two senior cats. Your pets will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, reliability, and respect I give my own. I’m a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be reliable and present when pet families need support. Running my own business has taught me the importance of communication, trust, and attention to detail. I’m also a parent to a teenager, so responsibility and consistency are a big part my everyday life. I value routine, patience, and creating a calm, steady environment, which is something pets truly benefit from. In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors exploring nature with my camera, taking walks, or simply enjoying fresh air. I appreciate the simple joy animals bring to our lives and feel honored to care for them with the same thoughtfulness and respect I give my own. I know it can be hard on animals when their humans are away. Transitions can feel big for them. I move slowly, pay attention, and let trust build naturally so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. My animals are the world to me. I love the everyday rhythms — the walks, the play, the brushing, the quiet moments on the couch. I lead with love and consistency, and I bring that same energy into your home. When I care for your pets, they’ll have plenty of playtime, walks tailored to their needs, and as much cuddle time as they’d like (or space, if that’s more their style). You can trust that I will respect your home, honor your routines, and care for your animals with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own.

About: while I don't have much experience caring for other pets aside from my own, I do occasionally care for family members pets. I myself have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever and a 4-year-old German Shepherd that are very friendly and well trained by myself so as you can tell I'm not afraid of a challenge so if you're looking for someone to care for your fur babies at times you can't please reach out.

About: I have three dogs, two wonderful twin golden retrievers that are 5 years old. They are my whole world and so are my sister and brother’s dogs/cats! My sister has been doing rover in KC for over 7 years so it’s been a great way to experience rover and the necessities for all kinds of pets. Additionally, I’ve been a volunteer at Unchained Melodies puppy nursery and KC Pet Project for the last few years <3 I’m currently a post-graduate student preparing for medical school here in a year so I have a lot of time for longer term pups. I’m preparing for work part-time as well in the fall but I have a very open and flexible schedule. I have helped dog sit for years now and of course I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were just babies. Unfortunately, I’m unable, for the most part, to have animals stay at my house however, I’m open if necessary. I walk and feed my own dogs daily and they take a lot of space so I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment.

About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!

About: I have tons of pet care experience. I used to work in a daycare/ boarding facility. I have also cared for dogs in my home before. I am available every day of the week with flexible hours. I am also a certified pet trainer and your dog may come home with new skills or improved manners just for fun. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and socializing. I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends. Please let me care for your pet while you are gone and trust that I will take good care of them. I am home full time with the exception of personal outings and running errands. I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.

About: I’m an active adventurous person ready to play with the dogs or take them on walks. I have helped family, friends and neighbors watch their dogs, whether it be just a check in or a week at a time! I work as a phlebotomist in my other times, help family and create crafts for my page! Seeing as I have a cat of my own, I make sure to put her into my daily schedule and make time for her to play with her and her as well as make sure her litter stays clean and her food and water bowl stay full! My cat is an indoor cat. Although she is aloof, she still loves to come cuddle and I always make sure that her food and water bowls are full, her litter is clean and her medicine is taken

“Nisa is just great! She walked my dog a couple miles a day and wore him out, just what I wanted! She is very friendly and follows directions very well. She arrived on time and was prompt in responding to texts for scheduling. I highly recommend her!”
