Dog Walking Sunset Hills

About: We are both former English teachers who have nothing to do now that we’re retired. What better way to spend our time than to help you with your pets. We've had pets our whole lives. We're available to drop in and care for your pets. Our inspiration is our own experience with finding someone to care for our animals during vacations, obligations, etc. As teachers, we were trusted in the classroom for 30 years each. You can certainly trust us with your pets. We're loving, nurturing and would love to help you with your animals.

About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.

“Lucy is so energetic and loves Bodi. She takes control of him so he trusts her and obeys her. She truly enjoys animals and I am thrilled with her interactions with him.”

About: I’ve watched pets from spiders, sugar gliders, and turtles to dogs and cats! No pet, temperament, or needs are to out of reach for me! I work a few part time jobs so I am totally flexible with scheduling and making time for your pet or pets around the house I always strive to match your pet’s energy.

“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”

About: Empathetic and caring towards pets. My first pet was a fish, named Cogi. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) named Casso, and now have two cats (littermates - part maine coon - Sage & Chowder). I have enjoyed times when I volunteered with child care and senior care facilities in the past as well. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely if ever meet any pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently self employed, studying for MO real estate exam & license, and often engaged in other opportunities on the side as well. However, despite my busy schedule at times, I am quite proficient at juggling tasks, maintaining physical & mental health, eating healthy, exercising when possible, and still prioritizing pet care in the midst of it all! I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but am not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.

“Alycia has been great with my dog. He was reluctant to walk with new people after being home with me all summer, but Alycia was very patient and worked on building his trust over their first several days walking together. Alycia is patient and reliable. She provides great updates about how my dog is doing while she is with him. We feel very happy to have found her to help us with daily walks!”

“Kat is amazing! She instantly calmed my scared and barking dog. Ellie loves to have her come and sat by the door waiting for her on the weekend. She didn’t care that we took her on a walk she wanted to see Kat!”

About: I have always had animals around me my whole life. My wife and I currently have two sweet cats and we see her families dog very often.

About: Hello! I am 19 years old and currently attend college. I have many years of pet care experience of various different animals since I was in elementary school. I enjoy hanging out and taking care of pets more than anything and I’d love to make sure your animals get genuine care that leaves them with the ability to live a long, happy, and healthy life! When I am home from college during spring break, summer, and winter break, my schedule is moderately flexible. I am able to fit in pet care whenever and have plenty of time to play with and take care of my cats and dogs every day. When I am at your home I will make sure it is a safe environment for the animals and that there is nothing they can be harmed by. I love going on walks at any time of the day as well as playing with the dogs or cats with toys, we can even work on some simple training together! Your pet will be safe, comfortable, happy, and healthy when they are in my care. :)

About: Hi, my name is Daria I'm an easy going animal lover who works remotely. Reliability and respect are my top priorities for you and your dog's time and safety. As an experienced dog walker (10+ yrs) and a previous pet parent, I'll be sure to provide a pawsitive experience. If your dog could use some training, I’m also great for that. I have a patience and a good eye for care and detail but I also know how to give your dog or cat their idea of fun. I’ll be sure to always provide detailed sitting and or walking reports. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and I take pride in providing great care. So, throw yourself and your dog a bone by choosing me for a walker or sitter. Monday through Friday I’m available, I work from home. Weekend availability will vary sporadically. However, most weekends I’m available. I would be able to keep up with your dog’s routine easily since I will be with them all day. I will be very sweet and accommodating to your pet to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I’ll be able to give them lots of attention and potty breaks. If your pet has a specific routine I will follow it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 and have always had animals in the house ever since I was young. I’ve been around a good chunk of different dog/cat breeds. Almost all of my family members has or had pets that I’ve been around and/or taken care of. My stepmom always had foster dogs every so often that my siblings and I would help take care of. I’m 100% and dog lover, but my mom grew an addiction to sphynx and got one 6 years ago and the other 3 years ago. My love for cats has grown ever since then. I treat animals like they’re my own and I don’t tolerate any disobedience given to them. I consider animals just like humans and have respect for them. A fun thing about me is that I strive to have my own dachshund one day!! I’m currently working part time and i’m a full time student. With summer coming up, my availability is opening up. I’m pretty flexible with schedules!! Not able to have pets at my apartment. Am flexible with stopping by to give food, water, and let out. Can be flexible if pets need to be watched for a short period of time. Also can do overnight stays when it comes to house sitting.

About: I do not have any special skills. But I am definitely responsible when it comes to taking care of people's dogs. I have taken care of my family's dogs when they went away on vacations. I can walk or be a sitter every other Tuesday because that is my day off from my full time job. I can start after 11am. I can watch dogs in your home but prefer not to bring them to my home. I can also take them on walks every other Tuesday.

“Lauryn is always so sweet and takes good care of Bowie :)”
