Dog Walking in Self Help Neighborhood Council, Kansas City

About: I’ve had dogs and trained them since I was a kid and currently have one puppy in the house, he’s 8, but he’s still a puppy to me. Looking forward to meeting even more pups in the neighborhood. My husband and I work from home and can take breaks as needed to take dogs for walks or be around as they play in the house. I have a fenced yard and a dog that is well trained and is used to going to daycare on his own. Our house is also very dog friendly.

“Jessica is very flexible with my schedule and reliable. My dog is so happy after his walks. I can tell the difference with the training she does for pulling on the leash and he has improved a lot!”

“Rilyne was great with our dog and communicated very well. Highly recommend!”

“Diana is wonderful!! My girl Buffy LOVES her and gets so excited for their walks!”

“Merissa is an amazing choice for a pet caregiver. She has had such a wide range of pets in her lifetime, including dogs, cats, a rabbit, hamsters, and even sugar gliders. She has shown great responsibility in accommodating to each animal what their needs are, both physically and developmentally. Her deeply caring and loving heart for each of them was obvious in how she treated them, spoke to them, and cared for them. I would absolutely recommend her for any pet care needs you may have!”

“I have known Leslie for several years now and have always seen her as a responsible caregiver for pets. She has owned and loved both cats and dogs. She currently has a beautiful little dog which she takes to dog parks nearly every day. Her dog enjoys the company of other dogs.”

“Ella was very prompt and reliable. Our dog, Willow, can be pretty rambunctious as she’s just turned 2 years old, but Ella seemed to have a calming effect on her and judging from the reports, all went well. We’ll be calling her again!”

“Michael was excellent. My boys always looked so happy in pictures and the liked Michael and let him walk them everyday. Micheal is definitely my dog walker for the future. Thank you”

About: I have had dogs and all kinds of pets all my life! They mean the world to me and I am very experienced with all breeds and species! I am in grad school but have plenty of breaks to watch your fur babies! I have a dog of my own and am home a lot. I have a fenced in front and back yard to let your pup out to run and play! I also have a dog of my own to keep your pup company! I treat every animal like my own.

“Michael was great with our dog. Responded quickly to a late booking. His pictures are all wonderful!”

“Maya is a very responsible and trusting person who is sure to take the best possible care of your pets. All my dogs and cats love Maya! Would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter or dog walker.”

About: From 13 on grew up with a Labrador. Big baby, lol. Whether on my own or with roommates, almost always been around cats and dogs. Including chihuahuas. Fed them, watered them, taken on walks. Played with them. In between jobs right now, plenty of time for most needs. Just no Sundays, mostly in case there are bus schedule needs. Any questions, ask. Have 1 spare leash. Good sized, open courtyard for potty, litter boxes for kitty. Neighborhood safe for walks around the block. Others also this routinely. Questions, ask.

“We love Lori. She is wonderful to Mac and makes herself available even on short notice. Even if rover says she is busy, go ahead and request. Sometimes she can accommodate both.”

“I have a hard time trusting anyone with my fur baby, but Kate treats my pup like one of her own! Kate gives my dog all the love and affections he needs while I’m away and he always has a great time with her.”

“Dalton was great!! I was out of town but my husband was here (need help walking our dog because of knee surgery). My husband said the first time he came our dog questioned why he was sending her off with a stranger but every other time she was sooo excited to see him. Dog’s approval is the best!! Dalton was very timely and my husband said very nice and personable. Definitely recommend!!”

“It has been such a relief finding Kristen! As any loving dog owner would be nervous about someone else walking their dog, my concern was put to rest as soon as I met her! She is excellent at communication, leaves detailed reports, follows care directions explicitly, and is ALWAYS prompt. I feel as though my dog is safe when he is with her and that is the most important thing in the world to me! My dog is my family, and when he is with Kristen he is treated as such. She’s great at what she does!”

“Anna walked our older pug while we were in Europe for two weeks (he was staying with my mom, but needed more consistent activity than my mom was able to provide with her schedule). Anna was very communicative and provided pictures and updates for each walk. Would definitely recommend Anna!”

“Hannah took care of my dog Dutchess consistently for three years until I moved to another state. She always treats her like her own, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog like I do her. She’s communicative about everything going on, and honest. I can really tell my dog loves her because she doesn’t want to leave her side! I trust her with my dog more than anyone else, and it’s a shame I can’t have her here watching my doggy anymore. If you want a dog sitter or walker who will treat your dog like royalty, give them lots of belly scratches, and long walks, and good play time - book Hannah!!!”

“Vanessa took care of our two elderly cats over a weekend trip, and she did an excellent job. She took great care of our cats and even sent us adorable pictures to update us along our trip. Our cats were healthy and happy when we returned, and they successfully got their meds while we were away, too.”
