Dog Walking South Town Fork Creek

About: I’ve been the resident cat and dog sitter since I was a teen in my family and friend group. I have worked with dogs big and small, and cats of many temperaments. I have been an overnight sitter for both animals, and have experience walking, playing, following routines, and making the pets feel comfortable and loved. I have followed medication routines and given medications for both cats and dogs as well when needed, and am comfortable doing so. I am currently working part time while going to grad school, so I am back and forth from the house and able to check on any pets throughout the day. My home has plenty of space for another cat to hang out. In my home, I try to make the environment as comfortable for other pets as possible and make sure they feel safe and secure as they would in their own home. As for visiting pets at their homes, I enjoy knowing their habits and preferences, so I can cater to their needs as closely to their normal lifestyle as I can. Simply put, I want pets to feel at home and safe regardless of their location, and do my best to love them and their needs whatever they may be.

“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”

About: I take my dog (Louie) on walks daily, so I would love to add your dog to our routine! I’ve been dog sitting for 20+ years, in addition to my family always having at least one dog. I personally love smaller dogs. I have experience with rat terriers, cavapoo, yorkies and cavalier king charles breeds. I love pets and think they’re so important to a family! Let me help you keep your pet happy and healthy 😁 I live on the Plaza so I’m in a very walkable part of town, near many parks. I walk my dog in the evenings after work - a quick workout for both of us. We love to walk around Kansas City together! When I’m home, Louie is always right by my side - on the couch, in bed or even while I’m cooking. I crate him most nights and while I’m at work. I live in an apartment so walks are very necessary - we go on at least one a day or we run in my apartment’s dog park. Would love to add your dog to the mix!

“Elise has done a wonderful job with Bibbles. After having surgery and being unable to walk her as I usually do Elise stopped by and Bubbles got her outing/exercise! Very dependable, respectful and got along with Bubbles really well, will definitely have her as my go to for pet assistance in the future.”

“Kimball is wonderful! She happily met our pup beforehand and was very professional and attentive to her needs. She did a great job of walking her and loving on her, making sure she got a good walk in while we are at work.”

“Averi is the best in the biz! She is always on time, great at communication and our pup just loves her!”

Paige B.

“Michaela is so good with my rambunctious boys! I don't trust many people can handle them and she has my absolute trust. She's very friendly, responsive -and most of all - a kennel break savior! I absolutely recommend her...as long as you don't take her away from us!”

About: Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to. With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine. I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.

“Mia was very punctual, trustworthy, and a great playmate & walker for our Ralph. She communicated throughout the day and I really appreciated her attention to his needs. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!”

About: For 19 years I have grown up and cared for many family pets of my own. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a few exotic animals. I believe all animals that live in someone’s household is considered family and should be treated like so. With love, care, and compassion. When I take care of another persons family pet, I would treat them like I treat my baby, all animals deserved to be loved and shown affection. When you leave your fur or non fur family with me I can promise you they’ll be in good hands! Not only will you receive videos and photos of your cute bundles of joy but you will receive an outstanding service from myself! Your home AND your fur babies will both be in great hands and that is a promise! I am available weekdays! I do have a baby and am her primary caregiver so if you do not mind me bringing her along for walks, check-ins, etc that would be amazing! I will of course provide full and acceptable services that fit your standards regardless if my daughter is with me or not! I promise to exceed your expectations and provide an amazing services! I do live in a one bedroom apartment with my one dog. She is friendly! We do have balcony space and I do have a single crate if crating is needed. Generally okay with creating space in the living room for the zoomies. We also have a dog park located in my apartment complex area where I’m happy to let them run around in! I am currently searching for a full time job but for now I can be flexible! I will of course give updates to anyone who books with me regarding any changes I care for pets the same way I care for mine. As family, with love and care. An animal just isn’t a pet. They are family and I will treat them as so.

“Caty took the time to come meet me and Rookie. She walks Rookie during the time frame that I asked and I get wonderful pictures and updates. Caty even made sure that Rookie was cared for when the weather was too precarious to allow travel. We're thankful for her time and care!”
