“4.96 Star Rated - Top Walker - Thank You!”
Hello, I am Cindy and I love dogs. All kinds of dogs. I am retired and decided I want to walk other peoples dogs since both my lovers died this year of old age. I miss having a dog around very much but want to do some travelling right now. I would love the chance to spoil your dogs rotten just like I used to do mine. For the past 6 years, I have spent many hours a day helping shelter dogs get relocated out of Kentucky (where the animal protection laws are the worst in the nation).

“I love animals and I can't wait to meet your pet!”
Hi, I'm Kenzie! To me, pets count as additional family members. I have lived with cats and dogs for my entire life. I'm familiar with all sizes and breeds. I've worked with many families for years, house- and pet-sitting and then I started walking for Wag in March of 2018. I love getting to know the pets I work with, because I think that each and every animal has their own quirks and personality. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I can't wait to do the same with your furry friend!

Dog Walking in Lenexa
While Lenexa, Kansas, is considered your typical suburban city, there are plenty of things to do that do not involve a heavy urbanized environment. Lenexa is close to the Kansas River, and there are various regional parks that make life in the city much more pleasant for those who love nature and for pet owners.
One of these parks is the Mill Creek Streamway Park, a linear park that offers over 17 miles of hiking trails and three miles of equestrian trails. While dogs have to be on a leash at all times, the park is still a splendid opportunity for local dogs to get some exercise as there are no off-leash dog parks in Lenexa.
The nearby cities of Shawnee and Overland Park, however, do present off-leash dog opportunities. The Shawnee Mission Dog Park is located in the Shawnee Mission Park and is a massive 53 acres in size. The park offers various trails through wooded areas and open meadows. The Thomas S. Stoll Dog Park in Overland Park is smaller but still relatively big and offers 7 acres for dogs to run and romp around.
There are several hotels in Lenexa, Kansas that allow pets in the room at a special rate. Some of these hotels, such as Super 8 and La Quinta Inn, focus on short stay lodging while there are also pet-friendly extended stay options available.
