Dog Walking Shaw

“My dog is all muscle, and very excitable, so not everyone is comfortable walking her. Josie was a natural! It gives me great peace of mind to know my furbaby is in good hands, and I love getting her updates and photos. Highly recommend Josie !”

“Hanna was awesome! We had her watch our puppy three different times when we were in town for graduation weekend and she was amazing! It was so nice to leave knowing that Nugget was in good hands. I highly recommend Hanna!!!”

About: I currently own 3 energetic dogs that adore! I am responsible for all aspects of their care. I have also dog sat for friends and family in the past. I am a graduate student so there are some times that I am not available, but most weekends and early morning and nights I can be available! I usually have breaks between classes that I can be available to check in on or walk your pet. At a client’s home you can count on me to make sure your animal is safe, loved, and cared for. I will do everything in my power to make sure the animal feels comfortable and not too out of routine.

“Adri has been great for my dog, taking her on long walks that she looks forward to. Definitely recommend Adri!”

About: I love working with animals! Friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I’ve taken care of countless animals, volunteer at an animal shelter, have had multiple pets over the years, and have a hobby of rescuing stray animals. I would love to help with anything needed. Please reach out! I am currently looking for a summer job before attending college in August. I am free almost any day this summer to come and take care of your fur baby! I have lots of experience wrangling dogs and cats of all kinds. I am an experienced sitter who prioritizes safety and happiness of the animal.

About: I have been around pets since I was a kid. I did take care of elder dogs in the past time. I did dog-sitting the puppies. I had experience with foster dogs and my housemate in the past. I have experience with deaf dogs myself. My family and I raised a deaf dog; she is now at peace. I am currently working from home. My schedule has some flexibility that I can take care of other things such as taking care of pets. I always make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their space. I care about their boundaries in their daily routine and develop relationships with their pets.

About: I love all kinds of animals! I have owned and cared for a wide range and animal's. My goal is to make animals have a great life. I am a full time student at Mizzou but my schedule allows for plenty of time through the day. I have many gaps between classes so I can check on anything in the middle of the day. I have lots of experience with many ages and levels of trainings of animals I have watched for friends. I am always up for a challenge and I am confident in taking care of your animals.

“Taylor was great! She came over the day before to meet the doggies. Even though the times I originally requested were a little difficult for her schedule that day (it was last minute,) she did all she could to make it as close as possible- and ended up being there about the time I had requested anyway. I scheduled two visits in one day, and while I said the second visit only needed to be a feed and let out in the yard - she asked if they could still go for a walk. :) She was also very observant and noticed a small scratch on one of my dogs, sent a photo, and asked if I wanted her to treat it. I really appreciate all the attentiveness; and the above and beyond she provided for my babies. Most importantly, the dogs seemed to really like her too. :) We are already planning for her to return. Thank you!”

About: I have dog sat for the past 6 years in the Omaha Metro area and in Lincoln NE for several families. I managed the care of 3 large breed dogs for multiple days during several housesitting stays. I also have 2 dogs on my family farm, a Border Collie and a Mini Aussie, that we have had for over 6 years. I would love to help take care of your pets while you are on vacation or out of town! We recently located to Columbia MO and are looking for more dog sitting opportunities! I am a full time student in PA school. I usually attend class from 8-2 daily but then I am free from there-on to do tasks as need be which would give me the freedom to go and dog sit! I treat all pets with respect. I know that I wouldn’t want my dogs treated poorly by a new person watching them. I usually take the dogs for a walk or two and then fetch or whatever the usual regimen consists of. I also ensure that dietary restrictions are followed as written.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life ranging from puppies to tortoises. I know the hard work that goes into caring for animals and keeping them happy and healthy. My family and friends have relied on me to take their furry friends on walks or to just let them out for bathroom breaks. You deserve to be at ease when you’re at work or vacation. Don’t stress! With me as your pet sitter, you won’t have to lift a paw-I mean finger! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I am always available Saturday but my schedule varies week to week. I’m usually pretty free so just let me know when you need a sitter and I can work around my other job. I can take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood. I always bring water for them to drink and waste bags. I can easily crate your dogs if requested or leave out pee pads. I can play with your animals to keep them entertained and make sure they stay out of trouble.

About: I am a vet student at Mizzou who is open to becoming your go-to person for pet-sitting needs! I am very flexible and willing to negotiate whatever you need to feel comfortable while you are away. This summer I am working at a research facility in which I am only there a few hours a week. So my schedule is pretty open! I live in a duplex house located Northeast of COMO. I'm more open to in-house visits rather than pet sitting where I live, but I'm flexible.

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether it’s training puppies, caring for senior dogs, or just giving plenty of attention and exercise, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I also volunteered at the Central Missouri Humane Society while attending college in Columbia, where I worked with dogs of all temperaments and gained experience handling a wide variety of personalities. With me, your dog will be treated like family, and you can count on reliable, attentive care every time. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific time slots each day for feeding, walking, playtime, and any additional care tasks based on each pet's needs. This routine ensures consistency and allows me to provide the best possible care while balancing other responsibilities. Additionally, I schedule regular check-ins and updates with pet owners to keep them informed about their furry friend's well-being. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets under my care. This includes designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playtime, as well as access to outdoor spaces for exercise and bathroom breaks. I adhere to any specific feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, or medication routines outlined by the pet owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routines. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, ensuring that their pet's daily schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any medical needs, are faithfully observed. I also strive to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the owner's space while providing attentive care to their beloved companion.

“Donna is EXCELLENT with my dogs Charlie and Buddy. They're Maltese-Shih Tzu mixes, 7 and 3 years old, and they absolutely love her and they walks she takes them on. I've watched her with my boys and based on what I've seen, would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a walker with a great temperament and strong skills at dog handling.”

About: Hi! I have 6 years of experience as a dog owner of my Beagle, Bo. At home, I have an orange cat named Cheese as well. I am an active user of Rover for my Beagle when I am gone for work, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Me and my family have always been pet lovers, having different dog breeds and other pets growing up. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long, active walk or just some company and care while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs and have experience walking multiple dogs at a time. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m available Sunday through Tuesday and have reliable transportation to get to you on time. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially at the beginning and end of my days. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and can provide flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and walks during those days. I’m used to planning my day around caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and playtime with my own dog and cat. I make sure to stay organized and on time so each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. During walks, I make sure dogs are always securely leashed and safe at all times, while also giving them the exercise and attention they need. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are comfortable, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, or calm companionship depending on their personality. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.

Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time at a horse clinic while also attending classes. I have flexible breaks throughout the day, which gives me time to walk, feed, or play with pets. After work and classes, I’m available for evening visits or walks to make sure pets get the care and attention they need.

We have been pet sitters for family and friends for many years. We love animals and we always treat them like our own. We both grew up in homes where our pets were like another family member and we grew up as animal lovers. We are unable to bring your pet to our home or stay the night at your home, but we would be willing to come to your home any time during the day to take care of your pets when you are away. Whether that is for a vacation, business trip, or when you are unable to make it home from work to let your dogs out to go potty. Brittany is a 4th grade teacher and Josh is a medical vendor. Our schedules don’t align so we are available at different times giving us a wider range of availability for you and your pets. We treat your pets and home with respect.

About: I have been an animal lover, my entire life! And have cared for a large variety of different animals! Through my family and friends, I’ve had the opportunity to care for many pets, including experiences with a week old puppy and kittens, and also my senior dog who dealt with diabetes and suffered from being blind. Growing up with my senior dog I am completely comfortable administering medicine and providing gentle care. At the end of the day, I just really love being around animals and I know how hard it is to leave them behind. So my main goal is to make sure all pets are happy and safe!! because my schedule is completely flexible pet care fits easily into my life right now! I have plenty of open availability during the day, so I can be very adaptable to your schedule (potty breaks, specific feeding times, midday walk). when visiting a clients home, my first two thoughts are respect and safety for your space! I always make sure to double check the doors and gates are properly locked and always keep a close eye on pets so they do not slip out. and I love keeping owners in the loop.
