“Experienced, reliable & excited to meet your pup!”

I’m so excited to be able to share my passion for being outside with all the new and old doggos in my life! I have 10 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I spent the last year working at an animal sanctuary in South America where I was responsible for the care, management and enrichment of 21 wild felines, which included taking them on daily walks in the jungle. I’m thrilled to now offer my care, love and time for more people’s best friends!

Dog Boarding in Shawnee

Shawnee Mission, Kansas, isn’t known for its homeless dog and cat populations, but that doesn’t mean the problem doesn’t exist. With such close proximity to Kansas City, each year hundreds of pets are abandoned or get lost in the area. Luckily, there are great animal shelters around that help care for these animals and try to return them to their owners or find them new homes.

The Pet Connection, located in Mission, Kansas, is a local favorite due to its dedication to helping homeless animals in the area find new homes. In addition to adoption services, The Pet Connection also offers rehabilitation services for aggressive pets, obedience training classes, animal socialization, and rehoming to pet owners in the area. The group also helps spay and neuter animals to prevent a rise in the homeless pet population. Since 2002, the organization has helped almost 14,000 animals in the area get spayed or neutered for free or at a low cost. The Pet Connection also helps other local shelters by providing supplies and educational opportunities.

KC Pet Project is one of the most well-known animal welfare organizations in the Kansas City area. This non-profit group works to eradicate unnecessary euthanasia for healthy, treatable animals. In addition to offering adoption services, the group also helps reunite lost pets with their owners and provides pet ownership education to the community. The main goal of the KC Pet Project is to help homeless pets find new, permanent homes. With three different adoption locations, the group helps thousands of pets find new homes each year.
