Dog Walking Wright City

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and began learning to train them in 2005. I have had over 50 different breeds under my care. I’m very active so dog walks are enjoyable. Trust is important both ways. I won’t accept badly tempered dogs into my home, and can travel to you or meet up to work through training. Let’s chat to fit your needs. I am pretty flexible and sometimes only need one to two days notice unless I am already all booked up. Just reach out and we can see what may work out. I have a fenced yard, large crate, and a well-trained Sheppard/lab mix to help take care of your dog, give them company, and play however you prefer.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply curling up with someone while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll treat your pets like they're part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away so you can have peace of mind. If your family includes backyard chickens, I'm happy to care for them too! I'll make sure they're fed, watered, and well looked after, and collect the eggs. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I build my schedule around providing dependable care for pets. I'm most available for long weekends, holiday travel, and short trips, making it easy for families to get away knowing their pets are in good hands. When my schedule allows, I'm also happy to consider longer stays. I always communicate my availability in advance so you can plan with confidence and know your pets will receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In our home, pets become part of the family. We have a large, securely fenced yard, a pond, and plenty of space for walks, play, and exploring. Your dog will enjoy spending time with our family just like our own furry companions do. I'm happy to follow your pet's regular routine, accommodate special needs, administer medications if needed, and provide the familiar care that helps them feel at home. When caring for pets in your home, I know that keeping their routine as normal as possible helps reduce stress while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines, while making sure your pet receives plenty of love and attention. Pets have a funny way of letting us know if we've forgotten part of their routine, and I'm always happy to listen! My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.

“Katie is the best, Kaiya loves her and she is very communicative and prompt!”

“Kate did a great job of checking in and spending time with our senior dog while I was at work. My dog is not in the best health and it was a comfort to know he was being taken care of especially on the days he wasn't feeling as well.”

“Allyson was great Penne loved seeing her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.

“Jennifer was great! She stayed in touch Throughout the walk and sent photos. It was so nice to have the pups let out and walked while we were out on the boat for the day! Makes vacationing nice for us and the pups :)”

“Great communication and very friendly!!!”

About: ​I grew up in a house full of animals, so loving and caring for pets is second nature to me! Our household currently includes two cats (Walter and Wanda). When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family—expect plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and pampered care! Being a Stay at home mom, I have flexibility that allows me to do things like hiking trails, running at the lake, and house/pet sit for my friends and family. Growing up with both indoor and outdoor animals has helped me adapt to different pets behaviors and still create a trusting environment so they feel safe.

About: Animals have always made sense to me! I love studying their behavior and communication. Dogs and cats warm up to me quickly because I listen to what they are telling me. I've become a reliable pet-sitter for family friends after years of watching their pets. I have experience with cats and dogs, hyperactive and calm. I listen to instructions carefully so I can keep your pet happy and safe. I always make time to check in on pets. Often my schedule is free, but if not I can visit your pet early in the morning or late at night. Otherwise, I tend to check in at regular times so your pet gets a sense of normalcy. I only offer check-ins at the client's house, so your pet will be in the same environment. I still keep an eye on everyone to ensure their safety!

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and strive to make their day as better as their last. I have a true strong passion for animals. I will be providing dog walking, house sitting and drop ins for dogs and cats. I have lots of experience with both, from taking care of my own pets to watching others in the past. I work, but am very flexible with my hours and open to most days and times. I'm outgoing so would be able to play and be active with pets that need to burn energy and like to have fun. I'm open to taking pets to a park or on trails to go on adventures. I'm very responsible and respectful. I'd treat every furbaby like they were one of my own. I'm comfortable with multiple pets all shapes and sizes. I'm great at following instructions if they needed certain feeding details and or also medication. I'm excited and hoping to work with alot of wonderful people and their animals. It's everyday. I feel better about myself knowing I've been able to help others and their pets have the best day that's possible for them. I treat my pets like my children. I'm a upstanding respectful young man who would be professional and caring the entire interaction with peoples home and their pets.

“Makenzey has been very dependable. Romy loves her! She always updates us and shares lots of photos. ❤️”

About: I’ve always been an animal person! I grew up with both cats and dogs and now have two cats of my own who are very much part of the family. I’ve also spent years helping care for the pets of family and friends, as well as dogs and cats in the homes of families I’ve nannied for. I’m happy to go on walks, play, give lots of attention, or just hang out with a pet who wants some company while their people are away. I know how much I worry about my own pets when I leave them with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing yours are being loved and cared for while they’re with me! I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I spend a lot of my time studying and working on school from home. I’m not currently working outside of school, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’d especially love to add some regular dog walks into my daily routine, it gives me an excuse to get outside, take a break from schoolwork, and spend time with some four-legged company! I’m also available for drop-ins and am happy to work around your pet’s usual routine rather than expecting them to work around mine. I will follow your pets normal routine and any instructions you leave regarding schedules, medications, and preferences. Expect to receive pictures and videos of your friend when they are in my care as I love when others do the same!

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

About: I have always been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with dogs as a kid, and have always had one as an adult (aside from living in an apartment that didn’t allow it). I believe exercise and outside stimulation is very important for the well being of any dog. I currently have a dog that goes for runs with me several times a week. While I’m new to walking other people’s dog, I’ve been taking my own out for years! I currently work three night shifts a week during the week. I’m generally always available during the daytime on Mondays. I’ll normally be available at least one more day during the week, but that day is variable. I’ll also be available most weekends I currently walk my dog on a leash with a harness. I try to stick with sidewalks as much as possible. If I see another dog out on our walk that is barking at us, I generally go a different direction than them. You just never know how they will react towards you or the dog. I feel safety is very important for everyone.

About: I have had past experience working at a Vet clinic where I have walked, given medication to, and interacted with multiple dog breeds of all different ages and needs. I have also taken care of a variety of animals for family members and friends for over 5 years. In addition, I have had many household pets of my own since I was 5 years old that I have cared and loved for. My work schedule is very flexible right now so I will be able to spend plenty of time caring for your furry family members! I can dog walk any day of the week, primarily in the mornings and afternoons. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to dog-sitting, I just ask for about a week in advance heads-up so I can work things out with you and my work schedule. I care for all pets with love and respect. I understand that they are not just pets, but family members too and deserve the same love, care, and treatment. I maintain a healthy pet-place environment to ensure the safety of your beloved pets. If needed, I am more than willing to follow any strict schedules or regimens to make sure your furry family member is comfortable, healthy, and feels safe within their own home.

“Makayla was simply EXCELLENT. Our dog Maggie instantly loved her. Each walk went absolutely perfect. Very puntcual, quite friendly, and obviously loves dogs. Highly recommend Makayla and we will definitely seek her for assistance again. Thanks.”

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are more than just animals, they’re family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting tailored to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Visits can include neighborhood walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, companionship, and enrichment. Whether your dog has energy to burn, your cat enjoys some quiet company, or your pet simply needs someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make their time with me enjoyable. I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know the individual pet. Every animal has their own personality, habits, comfort level, and favorite things. Some pets are immediately excited to make a new friend, while others need a little patience before they feel comfortable. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. One of the biggest advantages I can offer is flexibility. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me to dedicate substantial time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. Rather than rushing through a visit, I enjoy taking the time to interact with pets, give them exercise and enrichment, and make sure they’re comfortable before I leave. I also understand that good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll pay attention to your pet’s behavior and needs, follow any special instructions you provide, and keep you informed during visits. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that your pet is getting individual attention and care. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Getting to know their personalities, earning their trust, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply sitting beside them is something I find rewarding. My goal is for every pet to look forward to seeing me and for every owner to feel confident that their pet is in caring hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need a little extra attention, exercise, companionship, or love. I currently do not work, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting anytime you need. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize your pet’s with safety, comfort, and will follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, and house rules. I can also crate your dog, keep pets separated, provide medication, etc. when needed.

About: I’ve cared for pets and homes across the U.S. and internationally with TrustedHousesittersdotcom—including month-long house and pet sitting stays in Thailand, Ireland, and England. As the founder of HomestewardZdotcom, I bring the same thoughtful, trustworthy care to animals as I do to homes and gardens. I’m also accustomed to working with special needs cats and dogs, including those with behavioral or medical requirements. I genuinely love animals and treat them like family, offering calm, attentive companionship and reliable routines. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or more exotic pets or horses, I ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved while you’re away. As the owner of HomestewardZ, where I offer handyman work, interior painting, and house/pet sitting, I have complete flexibility in my schedule. This means I can be fully available to care for your pets whenever they need attention—whether that’s daily walks, medication, or just quality time. Pet care isn’t a side gig for me—it’s part of a meaningful lifestyle rooted in trust, presence, and care. I care for pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize safety, consistency, and trust—following your routines closely, keeping the environment clean and calm, and giving your pets the attention and affection they need to thrive while you’re away. I treat every home with deep respect and every animal like a member of the family.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed.
