Dog Walkers in Smithville, MO

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Rio was wonderful. Great communication and cute photos of my 13 year old Shih Tzu. No complaints. Will definitely request Rio in the future!”

About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I have just recently moved back to Missouri from Bozeman, Montana and am always looking to stay busy with side jobs on my time off. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.

“We are so very happy with Robin's care of our 7 month old while taking her for daily walks. She is helping teach her good manners and also helping to train her on the leash. Robin goes above and beyond what we expected and we are so thankful for her.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering dedication to the well-being of each pet. I have experience in providing compassionate care for senior dogs, making sure they are comfortable and happy. My love and respect for animals drive me to go above and beyond to meet their needs. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Every morning, I start by feeding them followed by a walk or playtime to ensure they get exercise. Throughout the day, I make sure they have fresh water and check on them regularly to ensure they are comfortable and happy. In the evenings, I spend quality time with them, reinforcing training and providing affection. On weekends, I often take them on longer walks and outing. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I stick to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime. I also provide lots of affection and attention, and I am diligent about cleaning up after them to keep the home tidy. Additionally, I keep an eye out for any signs of health issues and provide any necessary medications or special care as instructed by the owner.

“Stephanie is amazing! She’s very sweet and always leaves detailed messages about our pup’s walks.”

“Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).”

About: Growing up I do not remember a moment that my family did not have an animal in our household. I used to always want to spend my time with animals and always had that option. My mom was just as obsessed with animals as I was. There was a point in time that we had two cats and five dogs in the household. I love the connection that people can build with animals and the care that there is for each other. With all of these animals in our house, I got pretty accustomed to washing, feeding, walking, playing, etc with them. My stepdad bought a Rottweiler puppy when I was a teenager, so I was able to watch how he trained the dog and the phases they go through as puppies. Although, I do not own an animal of my own at the moment, I always enjoyed the times when my life had an animal in it. I would greatly enjoy to help others contribute to taking care of their animals with the extra time I have. I currently work part-time as a server with a flexible, open schedule. I would love to spend my free time giving love to all animals. I have a schedule that would allow me to be available to give care to your animals with walks, attention, feeding, and much more! Currently, I live in an apartment complex that does allow pets, but do not have any of my own at the moment. I have dog sat my family's animals for over the past few years, dealing with multiple dogs at once, cats, senior dogs. I would love to expand beyond my family's animals.

“Laura does a wonderful job watching and walking our puppies and kitties. Our dogs take a little bit to warm up to others and she got them to open up quickly. We definitely plan on using Laura’s services for walks and housesitting in the future.”

I provide love and care, on top of feeding and taking them outside! Play time is a must! Will maintain a calm demeanor in case of pet anxiety.

About: What’s better than staying at fun grandparents house? Our house! My husband and I dont have human kids but for the last 20 years we have had our 2 dog babies that were spoiled every day. Sadly we are now "empty nesters". We thought dog sitting would be a fun chance to care for dogs again. Over the years we have made our lives fit our dogs. I was even a stay at home dog mom for 5 years as our oldest needed more attention. We understand it’s hard to leave your pups, and not just anyone will due. We have cared for old dogs, our Max was 17 when he passed. We also have experience with big dogs. Our Redford was a 105lb doberman goofball that would not take NO for an answer. We understand medicine schedules and the importance of structure throughout the day like walks and potty breaks, even feedings three times a day. I work part time and we are both home on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. We like to walk and get outdoors and we have a big fenced yard that has more than enough room to run and play, it even comes with a fun neighbor dog that, if it’s ok, can play anytime! We have a smoke free, clean, quiet and calming home. We will stick to your dogs schedule and give plenty of hugs and rubs. We have a lot of left over toys and balls, leashes and gates. Your dog will be extra safe and relaxed in a country setting with a lot of birds and rabbits to chase around. We have your 3 day weekends covered! We can take pets Thursday evening and pick up Sunday evening. If you need more days, extra planning may need to be involved on our end and we are happy to accommodate. We usually wake up early so early morning potty breaks are no big deal. They will be sure to get their daily walkies,(weather permitted) or we come up with games we can play indoors. With approval, even take field trips to many nearby trials. We are happy to feed your babies and/or give them treats and stick to the schedule. We can play all day or If you have an oldster, just sit next to them so they know someone is there. They call the shots in this house!

“Heather works great with Rascal. Rascal recently had leash training and Heather works with him when she takes him out for his walk. Rascal is so good excited to see Heather when she comes.”

I've had about 8 years of dog care experience and am excited to take care of more dogs. If your dog has any special interests or things they like to do, I would love to do those things with him/her.

About: Hi! My name is Ali H. I have a 13 year old poodle that my family and I raised and trained. I have watched dogs since I was 10 (I will be 21 in November) and it is one of my favorite things to do! I have watched puppy from the age of 10 weeks all the way up to senior dogs. I have taken care of dog with many health problems. Since I live more in the country my dog and I normally go for walks about twice a week and we play in my yard everyday! Dogs in my house are treated like family. We make sure they are loved and cuddled everyday. And of course they sleep with us at night! We also love taking my dog for cars rides and spending time with other dogs to make sure she is socializing!

About: My dog is my best friend; we do everything together. If you choose me to be responsible for your pet, that pet will get the love and attention it deserves as YOUR best friend. During walks with your furry friend I can keep gentle control of a troublemaker and keep a good pace with any dog, fast or slow. If you choose me to drop in and visit your pet, I will make that visit the best part of mine and your animal’s day. If you need a house-sitter while you’re away - don’t worry at all, your pet(s) and home are in good hands. I house-sat for my neighbor with four cats on and off for three years. I would love to get to know your pets!
