Meet Our Pack

Your pets are family, and we treat them that way. Every walker and pet sitter on our Kansas City team is carefully chosen by Jena, a former zookeeper who knows the importance of skilled, compassionate care. We only bring on team members who share our love for animals and our commitment to building trust with every tail wag and visit. From daily walks to in-home care, your furry companions are in capable, caring hands.

Emily

Walker and Pet Sitter

Originally from Omaha, Emily moved to KC to attend Rockhurst University, fell in love with all things Kansas City, and has been here ever since. When not working as a Marketing Manager for a local non-profit, Emily is here to assist Newman’s in giving all the love, attention and extra scratches your pets desire when you need an extra helping hand. Emily adopted her first dog, Sadie, in 2018 after a lifetime of asking for a family pet and is the favorite aunt of her two brothers’ cats. Emily and Sadie are avid fans of cheese, the Chiefs, and exploring the many different pet friendly places/walks KC has to offer.

Walker and Pet Sitter

Hi! I’m Kayley and I've been with Newman's Dog Training since 2019. Growing up here in the Kansas City area I have always been a certified cat lady. However, throughout my lifetime I have had just about every kind of pet you can think of (sadly, my dream of having a mourning dove never came true but someday.) I am currently “mom” to 4 cats and a puppy named midge. My love for animals extends to fostering and volunteering with shelters in the area. I love the relationships I have here with my clients at Newman's Dog Training. Working for Jena and Derek has been a great experience the last few years and I plan to work with them for years to come.

Walker and Pet Sitter

Hi there, I’m Nicole! I was born and raised in STL, but I have chosen to root myself in the better side of Missouri in Kansas City. ;) I’ve been here a little over 3 years with my cat + best friend, Luna. We’ve lived with all sorts of pets over the years. It’s been fun to experience that with her by my side. During the day, I am a Project Manager at a Creative + Branding Agency. I work 80% remotely, making it easier for me to check in on your sweet pets during the day or take your pup for a midday walk! In my free time, I’m watching the Kansas City Current or USWNT dominate the pitch, finding new parks and trails around town, connecting and advocating for people in their quarter life, and attempting to live in the moment. I’m so excited to meet your babies and care for them in whatever capacity they may need!

Walker and Pet Sitter

Originally from Northwest Arkansas, I’ve lived in Kansas City for the last 8 years. I currently live with my dog, Poe, and my four cats! When I’m not working in finance or with my own pets, I love to hang out with yours and ensure that they are loved and cared for while you are away. I also have experience with giving pets their medications, whether it’s injections, pills, or topicals. I love animals and am always happy to get to spend time with what I call “bonus pets” when I take them on walks or visit them for a few days.

Peri

Walker and Pet Sitter

Born and raised in Kansas City, I’ve spent the last seven years teaching middle school social studies in De Soto, KS, and I’m currently in graduate school working toward becoming a school administrator. Outside the classroom, I love being active and spending time with my two golden retrievers, George and Louie, whether we’re out for walks, going for a drive to grab pup cups, or just hanging out at home. I’ve always had a huge heart for animals, and being a dog mom has only made that stronger. When I’m not teaching or studying, I enjoy working out, traveling, trying new recipes in the kitchen, and cheering on the Chiefs & the Jayhawks. I’m excited to help give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own!

Walker and Pet Sitter

Dog walker/crazy dog lady Alex originally hails from Pensacola, Florida, and now calls Kansas City home. With an undergraduate degree in marketing and an MBA, you'd think she'd be some executive at a big corporation. Instead, she's chosen to be an entrepreneur (with a budding marketing company), marathoner, and plans to walk dogs as a side gig forever. Some people call her a crazy dog lady, but she prefers the term "wannabe dog whisperer." It's certainly safe to say she is a dog lover and if she gets a chance she will treat your pup like family!

Kevin, a dog walker and pet sitter in Kansas City, smiles in a bright indoor living space with wood floors and modern decor behind him.

Kevin

Walker and Pet Sitter

Hi, my name is Kevin Krugh! I am a lover of all animals, they always make my day! I come from a big family, I am the youngest of seven kids. I became the default pet sitter for my brothers and sisters because every time I went to see them, their pets knew half the reason is because they are who I wanted to see. They are family too! So I decided I want to help take care of more peoples family (pets). I simply love how kind and loving pets are, and I enjoy showing them that same love!

Loved by People & Dogs all over Kansas City, Northwest Arkansas, and all other locations via online training!
