Dog Walking Waynesville

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of dogs—big and small, puppies, adults, and seniors. Every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one comfortable and happy. While I'm not a certified trainer, I have the patience and consistency to reinforce basic commands and good leash manners when requested. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and respect I would give my own. I'm dependable, friendly, and committed to providing a positive experience for both you and your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, needs a slower pace, or just enjoys extra attention and affection, I'll make sure they receive the care they deserve. Right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, every day, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking times and last-minute requests. Once the school year begins, I'll be substitute teaching in the local school district. My availability will become a bit less flexible from day to day, but I'll still be available for dog walks and pet care outside of school hours, on days I'm not substituting, and on weekends. I'll always keep my Rover calendar up to date so you know exactly when I'm available. I understand that every pet has its own routine, personality, and needs, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, and any specific care instructions provided by their owner. I have an 8-year-old Husky who has been part of our family since he was just 2 months old. He's truly another member of our family, and that's how I believe pets should be treated. For the past two years, we've also cared for a family friend's dog almost every weekend. She requires daily medication, and I make sure she receives each dose exactly as prescribed. That experience has reinforced the importance of consistency, patience, and paying close attention to each pet's individual needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Lindsey came by the day before and did a meet and greet with us. The day of she shared photos and updates on Toquinho! So grateful to have someone to help us with our boy on days he has to stay home.”

“Dog walking service booked: Phenomenal to work with! Came to meet the dogs prior to booking and to get a run down of the house within 3-4 hours of initial booking. Gave thorough notes during every visit. Notes included picture of dogs, notes, and a log of route/distance/time. If dogs could talk, mine would speak highly of Rachel!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I currently work full time, but I am able to walk or let your pets out at lunch or after work. I have a flexible schedule. I unfortunately at this time do not have a fenced in yard so I would be unable to watch your pet at my house. I am however able to work with you.

About: I have experience raising five dogs from puppyhood from 8 weeks old. I work well engaging dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I am currently a mom of four large bunting breeds. I am great with handling dogs with anxiety as well as those that have social and/or separation issues. I am able to run your dogs is preferred over a long walk. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your needs accordingly. If a client has any special requests, I am generally always able to accommodate. I have a fenced yard with sufficient land for play (about a 1/4 acre). The inside of the house has plenty of room as well the the basement is a designated pet play area.

About: I was raised with lots of puppies and other animals. I have two fur babies now, Oakley and Remi! I would love to visit your babies and keep them company while you are away from them. I work full time but have a couple days off a week on a rotating schedule. I am willing to travel and make our schedules work together as best as possible. Leaving your pets is very difficult but I would love to be able to help ease your worries! I am responsible and trustworthy. You would not have to worry about the job not getting done.

About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.

“Madi was very kind to care for my 2 big dogs. She walked them everyday and was flexible with time changes. She is a great help.”

About: Hi! I’m Landree, and caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training horses at 10 years old, began working with exotic animals at 16, attended my first professional dog training course in 2021, and completed another in 2022. My goal is to create a place where every dog feels like they’re on vacation while you’re away. I live in St. James, Missouri, on 7 beautiful acres with a secure fenced yard for safe play and plenty of open fields for supervised walks and exercise. Our property also has a large pond. While it isn’t fenced, dogs are never allowed near it without direct supervision, and if you’d rather your pup avoid the pond completely, I’m happy to accommodate that. I work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are welcome to relax and roam freely in the house while I’m home. If I ever need to step out for errands, they’ll stay safely in a dog-proof room or a crate, depending on what they’re most comfortable with and what you prefer. I also have both stairs and a ramp leading into the house to help accommodate senior dogs and those with mobility needs. For added convenience, I offer transportation to and from your home for boarding clients. I’m currently working toward opening my dream pet resort, where dogs can enjoy a fun, enriching, and safe stay every time they visit. Until then, I’m excited to welcome your furry family member into my home and care for them as if they were my own. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, not a side hobby, so your pet’s care is my top priority throughout the day. My daily routine is built around providing frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. During the summer, we enjoy the cooler parts of the day outside and spend the hottest hours relaxing indoors in the air conditioning before heading back out for more fun in the evening. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to follow your dog’s normal feeding times, medication schedule, exercise needs, and preferred routine. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Because pet care is my full-time profession, your dog won’t simply be checked on throughout the day—they’ll receive consistent supervision, personalized care, and the love and attention they deserve. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll adjust their day to keep them happy and comfortable. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. They are welcome to relax inside the house with me, and during the hottest parts of the day we cool off indoors in the air conditioning. If I ever need to leave for a short time, dogs are safely housed in a dog-proof room or a crate based on your preference and what your dog is most comfortable with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Safety is always my highest priority, and every outdoor activity is supervised to ensure your dog has a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.

About: I grew up with many different animals. I also intern-shipped on my school farm where I took care of many large animals. I know how to give medications, I’ve taken care of dogs who had different medicines or they needed doggie diapers. I can handle any energetic pets, I don’t shy away. I am currently taking online classes so as long as I have WiFi pet care fits in perfectly. I want to pet sit because it would be a fun way to earn some money. I enjoy interacting with new animals. When taking care of other people’s pets I do whatever will keep their fur babies comfortable, I try to keep them in the routine as best as I can. If pets aren’t allowed in certain areas then they won’t be in them. I will never bring other animals in your home. The whole reason to have me help out is to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable.
