“Happiness is time spent with a great dog!”
Hi! I absolutely adore dogs and would love to meet yours! I’ve had a dog by my side since birth. We’ve owned Cocker Spaniels, Pekingese, Akitas, Rottweilers, a Blue Heeler and an American Eskimo. I have lots of personal experience with many different breeds, sizes and fur types. I think a dog is truly a family member and should be treated as such. Every family is different so I’m happy to do whatever is best for your furry family member.

“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!

Hi! My name is Rhonda. I'm a lifetime animal lover with a sidekick named Rocky, my 12 yr old Border Collie. I've had all kinds of animals as far back as I can remember and that's about half a century. I raised two sons so you can only imagine the pets and critters that were brought into our home when they were younger. Yes, you guessed it! Lizards, snakes, turtles, mice, a ferret, cats, minnows, worms, frogs and dogs. Needless to say, I have a lot of experience with animals...and kids. You're fur baby will be in great hands with me and we'll have so much fun on our walks! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry sidekick!

I took care of my springer spaniel growing up. Then in high school I had a job taking care of two labs, one brown and one black. I would mainly spend the night over at the owners house when I dog sat. I love to play with them and making the dogs tired so they are not wild at night.

“Four Legged Friends are the Best Kind of Friends!”
I currently live in Kansas City,MO in the northland. I have owned a dog in past but currently only a cat mom. We had a border collie who passed away so I get my puppy fix or dog fix by walking others sweet fur babies. I have boarded at my home and loved the snuggles and helping a family avoid boarding at a vet. I love walking and spending time outside so including a dog walk is great companionship. I have a pretty open schedule and able to walk afternoons and evenings everyday.

“Happy pet, happy owner!”
Hi, my name is Chelsea. I was born and raised in Kansas City with my pups. I regularly volunteer to walk the dogs at KC Pet Projects that are waiting for adoption. It makes me so happy to see them happy on their walks. Even dogs that have busy owners, I love to get them out during the day before their owner gets home!

I worked at a vet clinic for 2+ years as a kennel attendant. Playing and walking the dogs and meeting their human family was the best part, so WAG is perfect! I've worked with small to large dogs, puppy to senior, and even some reactive dogs. I have a spoiled American Sraffordshire at home, with her own room! I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members!

48Platte Falls Conservation Area in Platte City is a spectacular 2,366-acre area where you can bring your pup for a trail walk through the woods and along the nine miles of river running through the park. This is a diverse landscape, covering both marshland and forest, and there is always plenty of wildlife to spot, including otters, ducks and rabbits. For this reason, keep your pup leashed for his safety and that of the local fauna. The river offers many aquatic activities as well, and your water pup will love a little float down the river on board a canoe or boat with you!
