Dog Walking in Westwood, Kansas City

“Michael was great! Super quick to respond and willing to help on extremely short notice. My boyfriend and I are super sick and he took time out of his evening to come help our puppy get rid of some energy on a long walk. Much appreciated!”

“Allison is a great dog walker ! She’s been dependable, very kind , easy to communicate with , and I know my dog really looks forward to his walks with her! I highly recommend!!!”

“They are so awesome and helped me out on super short notice for a dog walk. I also invited them to bring their dog over to play with my dog in the backyard and my dog was SO happy! Really appreciate how great and responsive they are.”

“Emily is an amazing, animal loving person who volunteers her time working with homeless animals at KCK Animal Services. Emily works one on one with the scared babies who have be neglected and abused and she gains their trust and helps them heal. Emily also works on leash manners with the new pups, one being the 100lb mastiff. It’s amazing to watch how with a little training and consistency the pups get better. Emily is great at following directions and also great at being a leader and someone people feel they can go to!”

“Rodrigo was on time and took great care of our sweet doggy walking her all over the place. He seems very responsible and I felt super comfortable leaving our dog in his care.”

“Lori has been wonderful with my goldendoodle! She is reliable and dedicated to her clients. She has been easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. I always know that my pup will be in good hands on his daily walk, and I receive several photo updates to prove it :D”

“Kathryn was recommended to me by a good friend. Ozzie absolutely loves her. I love all the photos she takes of them together on their walks. It was hard for me to get a walker but I'm so glad I found Kathryn. My mind is at ease knowing Ozzie is in great hands!”

“Maureen is so wonderful. She’s kind, enthusiastic, punctual, flexible, and takes great care of our girl. Highly recommend!!”

“Daniela is an excellent and very responsible dog walker and babysitter. She has taken care of our two dogs many times. They love her a lot (I think sometimes more than me). She is very diligent about following their walking and feeding schedules. She also is great at sending regular updates and cute photos when we are out of town for a few days. Daniela is an excellent and very caring dog walker and sitter. I highly recommend her.”

“This was our second time booking w Ella! ^_^ She was able to help us out in a pinch and take care of our fur babies for a quick evening walk. Thank you Ella!!”

About: I have a pet of my own, specifically a cat. I have taken care of many of my families dogs and cats when needed. I play soccer at UMKC and am able to keep up with high energy dogs. I am currently going to school at UMKC and will have lots of time in my morning and throughout the day to come by and check on your loved ones! I am not in season at the moment, so I will be available on weekends. I will be respectful to your home by taking my shoes off and being calm and quiet when entering the home. I will lightly call for your pet while cracking the door open to let them know I am not a threat.

“You won’t find a more loving animal sitter than Melissa. She is the epitome of an animal lover. Melissa has shown nothing but warmth and attentiveness to my two dogs and understands exactly what my expectations are for taking care of them the way that I do and applies it whenever she’s around my pups. I highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for that person who cares deeply for animals and shows that care 100% when she is responsible for them.”

“Opal was absolutely amazing with Margot! Great communication with us and Margot loved them so much. I would absolutely recommend Opal and would rebook if I was staying in the KC area.”

“Tori was absolutely amazing! Really took the time to understand my girl's needs before and during the visit! Even was able to make it a little earlier since I got called into work early. I would highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again!”

“Chandler was wonderful. Alton loved her right away, and he’s usually a good judge of character. Not only was she fantastic with Alton, she was easy to work with and sent so many great pictures! Highly recommend.”

“George is the best! He is patient with our newly adopted 2 year old ball of energy and our dog enjoys her walks with him. He is great at communicating and we are booked weekly now. I would highly recommend George to anyone who needs help with their pets.”

“Julia has helped care for my two beagles, Nigel and Frida, at her house many times while I am out of town. She is a caring and responsible friend to animals. I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver!”

“Diana is wonderful!! My girl Buffy LOVES her and gets so excited for their walks!”

About: Dog-lover remote worker with a big (soon to be fenced) yard and front porch where dogs love to doze and keep watch over the neighborhood. I don't have any dogs of my own, but I love watching yours. I'm responsible, personable, and keep a clean, safe home. I’ve watched dogs for 10 years now. I’ve seen it all, but have found this an enjoyable and rewarding gig. [Interested in house-sitting services? Message me for discount information.] I have learned a lot about how to communicate with and listen to dogs, and be attentive to their needs. I try to make them feel at home and heard in addition to providing for their basic needs, and I also keep a lot of treats and toys around the house to keep them engaged while inside. Their favorite spot is outside, though, and I have a lot of options they love. There is a front porch, back porch, and large side yard for them to lounge in. I keep a long yard spike leash out there so I can keep them within reach and they can enjoy being outside. I live on a street with a lot of trees, birds, and sunshine, and they enjoy just taking it all in. It's fun for me too. Now, I love watching dogs, but boarding dogs with anxiety and behavioral issues who can’t take commands requires all my attention and isn’t worth it. If your dog has behavioral issues you aren’t addressing, I’d suggest another host. If you are interested in training services, please let me know. My yard doesn't have a fence, but I do have a yard spike with a long leash that dogs don't mind if it lets them explore freely. I also have a front porch and back porch that dogs love to sun on and listen to the birds. I like taking dogs for walks to Westwood Park and, if they're up for it, along with me on runs. NOTE: I’m flexible with dropoff and pickup times. I typically only watch one or two dogs at a time, and almost never mix dogs from different households. This is just something I do for a little extra cash and some fun dog time. I'm here to make your dog feel safe and cared for while you travel the world. I take dogs out first thing in the morning, and am home to accompany them throughout the day unless I'm running errands or working at a coffee shop. Dogs have much attention and are taken out regularly for breaks. I have a big yard with no fence but a yard spike and nearly 100ft of leash that dogs can use to explore the yard and nap in the grass. They also like my front and back porches and back staircase, because it lets them see down on the yard from a high perch. There's a lot of room for dogs to roam in the house and find new places to nap. I keep a bowl of water filled in the kitchen and take them out for regular breaks. I give them treats and tell them they're good boys, because I believe in positive affirmation. I work from home, so I am largely available to dogs throughout the day and night. I leave for errands and to work in coffee shops, and for social events, but most of my day is spent around the house and in the company of your pup. I stay near them and use a leash and familiar commands. I have 10” leashes and a long yard leash on a spike for the front porch and yard to let them enjoy nature without running off. A dog running of is the absolute last thing I want to happen, and I am vigilant about keeping them either in the house or restrained (with a long leash).

“Audra has been great for helping me out with getting Malaga her exercise. Audra is very communicative and Malaga gets so excited every time Audra picks her up.”
