Dog Walking In Squier Park

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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.

“Professional, accommodating, and reliable. Ashley did a wonderful job looking after my senior dog whilst I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services again in the future!”

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!

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I could remember, I have owned a multitude of dogs and always had a great relationship with them. I’ve had puppies as well so I’m good at potty training and a little bit of on command training. I am currently working part time and a full time college student. The benefits of taking morning classes is I’m available the rest of the day. I’m usually free 5 days out of the week. Can make arrangement at your request and work something out. I will always keep an eye on the pets, Thats the best safety measure. I will also make sure to feed and water as well as take to the restroom to keep them calm. I have a fenced yard.

About: I’m an animal lover, and have had pets throughout my entire life, primarily dogs and cats but also small animals. I have house sat and pet sat for friends and co-workers on occasion if they leave to go on vacation. I would help feed, walk, clean up after, and play with dogs and cats. I would love to provide love and care for your fur babies while you’re away! Every morning I make sure my pets have food and water before leaving for work for the day. When I get home from work, I will make sure I clean up any messes and do a manual cycle on the Litter Robot. In the evening, I provide my cats with some wet food (primarily pate) as their evening meal. For my cats, I make sure my cats always stay inside to prevent pests and injuries/illnesses.

I make sure the dogs get to go outside to take care of business, and go for a walk if necessary. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while their owner is away.

About: Hello! I have always had pets throughout my entire life, and currently have 2 very fluffy kitties! I have 5 years of childcare experience, 3 of which are in home caretaker/house manager. I enjoy taking care of littles, especially ones with fur! I am currently working part time, which gives me the flexibility to take on pet sitting gigs, most days of the week. I have a very trusty toyota camry as well to get me to where I need to go! I have two cats in my home, they are both girls and both think they are the queen of the house. I prioritize a healthy diet for them, as well as lots of play time to stimulate them and help them get the exercise they want and need.

“Ron was terrific! I loved that I was able to find a walker in my neighborhood. He and Kerry bonded and they both seemed to love each other’s company.”

“Susan and her family are great with my puppy! Will definitely book again!”

“Caleb was outstanding. He was so patient with my dog and took the time to allow him to get comfortable before taking him out for a walk the first time. I appreciated Caleb’s kindness and knowing how to respond appropriately to my dog. I’ve already planned more walking appointments with him. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and an Australian shepherd since I was 14, I raised and trained him, and have also pet-sat for friends and family on multiple occasions. I promise any pet can be trusted with me. I fit in pet care around my part time job that mostly consists of morning shifts, though I can work around that and move shifts if needed for the right furry friend. I don’t think at the moment I will be sitting any pets in my own home for the comfort of my own pet pal but I will actively play with, watch, snuggle with and care for any pet in anyone’s home, I will always give the upmost care!
