“Bring on the dogs!!”

Hello, my name is Carol! I have been in love with animals for as long as I can remember, with dogs around the house before I was even born. Now, I'm the proud companion of two wonderful rescues whose love I couldn't do without! In addition to pet sitting and ownership, I worked at a dog boarding facility, where my responsibilities included group playtimes, pottying, and cleaning the dogs, as necessary, and their surroundings all the time. Can't wait to meet and make some new furry friends!

Dog Walking in Atchison

Atchison is a moderately sized city in Kansas that lies alongside the Missouri River. Sitting right on the border between the two states, this Kansas city is the pawfect stomping grounds for pups that like to lead a low-key life. In town, you’ll find a handful of services where you can take Sparky to get some hearty food and even veterinary services! For everything else, you can make a drive out to Kansas City, Missouri (or Kansas City, Kansas – they’re right next to each other!).

Pet parents can find a ton of essentials here, including Atchison’s first doggy park! Downtown Atchison pedestrian mall is full of beautiful architecture rich with history. Plus, you can visit the open-air Farmer’s Market held on Main Street. Afterward, wag over to one of the many community parks in Atchison, like Jackson Park, and check out their walking trails! Atchison has plenty of nature to explore – but be sure to keep your precious pup on a safe leash.

With breathtaking views of the Missouri River and traditional, tree-lined streets, this beautiful brick city is flush with history and cozy community comforts. The area has a nice mix of young adults and families, thanks to the Benedictine College on the west part of town.

After you work up an appetite, grab a bite on the pet-friendly patio of the Metropolitan Steakhouse. Be prepared for some doggie drool!
