Dog Walking Shawnee Mission

About: I have cared for and owned animals of all shapes and sizes for my entire life, including dogs, cats, horses, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, pigs, and goats! I am very experienced in feeding, watering, cleaning up after them, administering medication and supplements, playing, and snuggling. I am also very active, so I would love to take your dog of any size on a walk or run! I'm currently working part-time and my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily work around your and your pet's needs! I will always treat your animals like they are my own, so their care and happiness is my number one priority, no matter what else is going on in my schedule. I am extremely clean, organized, and reliable. I used to work for the government with a Classified clearance, and I have been certified in CPR and First Aid. I am also very tech savvy and handy, so rest assured I will close and lock every gate, door, and alarm with ease.

“Super great at communicating and sending photos of our 5 month old golden retriever! Will be using again for sure!”

“Great communication, my dog was very happy he was able to get a walk. I would definitely book her again.”

Karyssa & Michael T.

“Sarah is always so great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her! She is so quick to respond to messages and really flexible with my hectic schedule! Would definitely recommend her working with any and all dogs :)”

“After the first week of Kermit's mid-day outings with Anna, I can tell a marked difference in his overall happiness levels after I get home from long work days. Like I asked, as a dog that needs a lot of exercise, she is taking him to the park to fetch tennis balls. I have huge piece of mind now about the quality of care Kermit is receiving with Anna. She is enthusiastic, professional, and Kermit greets her with bear hugs when he sees her daily. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.

“Hayley has been an awesome dog walker!! She’s been very responsive, and has had no trouble wrangling my animals! I highly recommend booking with Hayley.”

“Kelsey takes such good care of Otis every time she walks him! She brings calming energy and takes the time to meet and know your pet. Definitely would recommend!”

About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and proud dog parents to our pup, Gus! We’ve both grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. We’re comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing the care and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and well cared for. We both work full time and have different wfh days during the week, along with flexibility! I work 10 minutes from our home, so going home during lunch is very easy! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and take dogs on daily walks. Crate-trained dogs are preferred, and we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions. Pets are welcome on our furniture and treated like part of the family. Our dog, Gus, is a friendly companion and loves having a playmate! We’ll do whatever we can to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and feeling right at home while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for dogs and my personalized approach to each pet’s needs. I’ve had dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors, and I absolutely love them all—no matter the size! I miss having a dog around since going off to college, and working with your doggo is the perfect opportunity to get my fix! Plus, I offer daily updates so you can feel at ease while you're away. I currently work full-time as a HR Generalist for a local Industrial Sales company. I work a hybrid schedule so Monday and Tuesdays are in office and Wednesday-Friday are from home. I already try to manage my schedule in sections and like to take a break in the middle of most days to recharge and get outside when it is nice. I could use this time to travel to your locations and offer potty breaks for the animals. I'm pretty open on the weekends without commitments so putting your animal first will always be important. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for them. I stick to their usual routine, from feeding times to playtime and walks, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I also make sure to keep your home tidy, following any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet's needs or preferences. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a walk in the neighborhood, I treat your pet like my own, offering love and attention every step of the way.

“Alyssa was the first person I contacted when I came to Kansas City. She was immediately available and arranged to meet my dog Two Bit, who loved her. She took great care of him and kept me notified of what was happening. I have already arranged a second session and will continue to use her services.”

About: My heart has always been devoted to dogs ever since I was little. We’ve always had a family dog(s) and I was blessed with my very own little furbaby April 2017. I have a 7 yo golden retriever who is a ball of energy! I am very active; love running and have volunteered at multiple animal shelters. I’m familiar with insulin injections and pill administration. I do work from home now and have a fairly flexible schedule. I recently bought a house.. for my dog ...and he loves his big backyard. It's fenced in and gives him plenty of room to run around and play fetch. Feel free to ask me any questions :) I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule during the day. My personal gets let out whenever he wants and am open to mornings, evenings and weekends Safety is first. I always check that dogs are not prone to jumping fences, are okay on walks or ask if there’s anything I should know (dart after squirrels or cars, pull, etc). When they stay over they are let out frequently and I’m usually home aside from running errands or going to dinner/ movies. Always fresh water.

About: I am grateful that I got to grow up around animals and build special bonds with them! Ever since I was little, I cared for my own pets, my family’s and friend’s. I am detail oriented and care about you and your pet! I work full time during the week and I am off later in the evenings. My weekends are open to care for your furry friends! It is my top priority to create consistency and safety for my own cat, and that is still just as important when it comes to your pets! I appreciate clarity when it comes to expectations regarding your pets care.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. I am a caring, loving, and understanding dog lover! I have experience with all types of dogs (shy/fearful, playful, puppy, senior, special needs), as I have been volunteering in rescue and fostering for the past 5 years. I look forward to spending time with your beloved fur baby! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs! I am available for drop-in visits at your home and walks as well - whether that’s while you’re just at work or out of town! I will get to know your habits/routine and carry them on with your pup so that they feel comfortable and know what to expect while you are away.

About: Hello! I’m Davis, I’m 27, and I have grown up around and caring for dogs my entire life. I have experience dealing with both senior dogs and puppies too! I currently live with my families dog Nelson, who is a one year old labradoodle. I have cared for and watched over my friends and extended family’s dogs when they’ve requested help. I have also volunteered at animal shelters around the metro through my time in high school and college. I am ready to provide walks, enrichment, meds, treats and whatever else your pup might need! Please feel free to reach out to me for any additional questions! I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I am currently studying from home to finish my graduate degree, but am flexible enough to work almost any event into my immediate schedule. For my own dog, he is let out ~10 times daily, walked twice a day, and we also try to spend at least 10-15 minutes on training. I also try to check my dogs paws, ears, eyes, and teeth a couple times per week to make doubly sure he is in good health. For my clients dogs, I would provide the same kind of attention to detail and safety I do for my own dog. You can expect timely correspondence back to you and the utmost care for your pup.

About: I have had the privilege to have pet's around me most my Life. I have 25 + years’ experience in caring for pets. In 2020 I was a personal and business assistant to a Lovely older Lady in Loch Lloyd. I also took care of her three dogs a parrot when she went out of town. One of here three poodles was elderly so I cared for him, administering oral medicine and assisted walking with a devise/harness. Our pets are our family; they are our fur babies. What I mean by that is they need our attention to details, structure and consideration to thrive. To adequately understand their needs, and communicate with them they need the consistency and consideration when it comes to caring for them. I would feel blessed and honored to care for your precious pet family when you are unable to do so. ♡ I had dogs most of my life but from 2019 - 2024 I had cats. I was Blessed with KiKi first, a friend of a friend had to rehome her because of the atmosphere she was in with the Dog he had, she would always hide. He had her since she was a kitten. When I got here, she was hesitant to come near me, but once we bonded it was like no other connection I've had. Then, my nephew’s cat had kittens, July 1st 2022. I went and visited them ever couple of days. I had only planned to take one, Lucy, but Oliver was my little dude so I took both. Reluctantly, last year I had to rehome them because I lost my apartment after I went through a tragedy that had me unable to work or function for many months. I vetted people for months, putting my fur babies first. I was able to find all 3 of them a single home to go to. They're with a loving family. I currently do Uber (5☆ still☺️). I have been doing it for almost 3 years . I have a lot of flexibility. Which is also a plus if you needed to be taken to the Airport:) I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I will give them the care outlined by you. I will not and cannot use any devises that could cause them harm IE Prong Collars! But know I will give them the time during the time I am with them to assess their needs. I will give them lots of love. Walks, brushing etc. Also clean up hair and other things as needed.

About: Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets, so as soon as I was on my own, I got my first guinea pig! I'm currently taking care of two piggies, and contrary to popular belief, they all require very meticulous care — constant fresh water and unlimited hay, daily vitamin C tablets, fresh veggies, portioned pellets, daily spot cleaning with a full cage cleaning every two weeks, and the occasional eye ointment when a piggy gets a case of hay poke. I also have experience administering oral medication to guinea pigs. I got my first dog in October of 2023 — a Border Collie puppy! She gets weekly teeth brushing, coat brushing, nail trims, and paw pad shaving when appropriate. I take real pride in keeping up with her hygiene, with baths about every three months (unless she gets filthy beforehand) and frequent paw washings when it's muddy out. I also maintain a training regimen — I'm not by any means a professional or certified trainer, but I'm both consistent and persistent about getting my pup to a level that Victoria Stilwell would be proud of. I watched A LOT of It's Me or the Dog growing up! I also have experience caring for dogs in heat. My experience with cats isn't as in-depth as my guinea pig and dog experience, but rest assured, I have plenty of love and care to offer them too! I've house sat cats in the past for weeks at a time — feeding, watering, playing, and cleaning litter boxes regularly. My cat care doesn't go much past those basics, but I take direction well and am always willing to take on kitties with more specialized needs. I hope this gives you confidence in my ability to properly care for your pet! I'm always happy to answer any questions or concerns, and I will NEVER take a risk that could negatively affect you or your beloved pet. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are wide open for me, unless my calendar says otherwise. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I work a 9-5, so pet sitting visits on those days are scheduled around my work hours, but I'm still available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. No matter the day, your pet gets my full attention and the quality care they deserve, every single time. Depending on the boundaries and rules you set, I'm always happy to take your pet(s) out for exercise at a dog park or just a walk around the block. I love giving animals human interaction and have no issue spending time playing, whether that's tug of war, fetch, or puzzle games for pets that need some mental stimulation! If you're interested, I can send check-in pictures so you can see how your pet(s) are doing while you're away, along with any other updates you'd like. Safety is incredibly important to me, which is why your pet(s) will be carefully monitored the entire time they're in my care. I personally keep security cameras in my own home to monitor my dog while I'm away - I even have one dedicated specifically to keeping an eye on my guinea pigs! You can never be too safe, and you can never take too many precautions.

“Friendly, pays attention to detail. Would have her walk our sweet girl again!”

“Ashlyn was available with short notice, responsive, and communicative. She made it a great first experience with Rover! And my dogs were happy! ??”

About: Growing up, I had 2 family dogs so I’ve been around dogs most of my life. In addition, I have pet sat multiple times for neighbors, friends and family with cats so I do feel comfortable with them too. Past experience includes home stays for families on vacation, drop in visits, etc. I have experience giving medications, walking, feeding, changing litter boxes, picking up waste, and staying overnight with pets. I’m more than willing to stay overnight @ your home, too. Please contact me with any questions that you have! I hope that I will be considered to care for your furry special loved one just like I cared for my own and others I’ve cared for in the past. During my time with your furry loved ones, I will make my schedule around what your pets need such as being walked, let out, fed, etc. In my client's home, I hope I can earn the trust while I am there to take care of their pets without having the owner feel worried. I will send pics of daily activities, feed them, let them out, take walks (if weather permits). In addition, I will leave the home cleaner than it was when I arrived.
