Dog Walking in Ballwin

About: Hi, my name is Bella and I would love to help care for your fur babies. I have 10+ years working with dogs and about three years working with cats. I have worked temporally at Williamsburg pet hotel, and have experience with feeding giving medication and walking. I have two cats who I adore so I am also open to cat sitting as well. I am very responsible and punctual. I look forward to working with you! I am looking for a full time job currently so I have a lot of free time and am at home regularly with my two cats. I also have a dog at my parents house that I dog sit regularly. I would prefer taking care of pets in a clients home. I feel if a pet is in their own environment they are more likely to feel comfortable!

“Nikki was amazing. She really worked with Samuel while she took care of him. She followed all instructions so that there would be consistency as he is a puppy. She is very caring.”

“We felt immediately comfortable with Barbara when meeting for the first time. Her experience with and love of dogs was evident when meeting Cooper and Zachary. I love the Rover alerts when she came to walk Coop and the photo. I just felt at ease and grateful we had her to care for our boy. Will hope to be able to book her whenever we go away!”

“Morgan has been walking my pup 4x a week for almost two months now! She is flexible, communicative, and most importantly takes my dog on nice, long walks! She always sends pictures and gives treats before she leaves the house as well! I would definitely recommend her!”

Sydney S.

“Alli is fantastic. I felt at ease with her taking care of Cooper and knew he was well taken care of. I will be using Alli many times in the future!.”

About: “Senior pets, special needs, or spirited puppies — I handle all tails with love (and a little humor)!” 🐾 Hi! I’m a former Dog Day Camp Director with experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve managed everything from high-energy playgroups to gentle senior care, and I know how to keep every pet happy, safe, and stimulated. I’m trained in medication administration and experienced with special needs pets, so even unique challenges are no problem. Whether it’s fetch, snuggles, or calm companionship, I provide personalized care for each pet. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet your fur family! As a full-time pet sitter, my day revolves around your pets’ happiness and well-being. Mornings are for feeding, walks, and playtime, afternoons for check-ins, medication, and companionship, and evenings for settling every pet comfortably. Every pet is unique, and I create a schedule that’s flexible, personalized, and full of love, ensuring your furry family members get the care, attention, and fun they deserve—every single day. Safety comes first! I keep pets secure with vigilant walks, careful leash checks, and strict routines, while building trust through positive interactions and plenty of love. Pet parents can relax knowing I provide transparent updates, respectful home care, and reliable attention—giving both pets and their humans peace of mind.

About: Hello! I’m an active, experienced animal lover who has been around dogs, cats, barns, birds, and all types of animals my entire life - horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, hedgehogs, you name it! I own large breed dogs and have experience working with dogs through multiple levels of training. I can provide care for dogs of all sizes and have previously owned cats (including one who lived to be 19!) I’m also happy to care for your barn animal (horse, donkey, goats, chickens, etc) or exotic pets and reptiles. Unfortunately I do not pet sit for pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I communicate well so you know how things are going, work from home, and can be flexible on days, nights and weekends. I only schedule a few clients at a time to ensure your pet gets the time, safe care, and attention they need. Additionally, if you need a dog walker (regularly or as needed), I’m your person. I enjoy being outside and active, and can take your dog on short or long walks (even in winter), exercise them outside, and if needed can help work with them on leash training. I will follow any special needs you have for your pet to continue their routine, training, medications, shots, etc. Your pet(s) will be well cared for so you have peace of mind and can be present in the moment while you’re away! I work full time but have a flexible schedule days, nights and weekends. I only work with clients within a reasonable radius of my home and only a few at a time to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Care for your dog or cat would be in your home. I can care for other small pets in my home or yours, whichever works best for you.

“Kari has walked my dog twice so far and she has been great. She has dog training experience too which is definitely a plus. I am planning to use her 3 times a week beginning after New Year's Day.”

About: Choosing someone to care for your dog is a big decision, and you want peace of mind knowing they're in capable, loving hands. I've had the pleasure of caring for many dogs over the years, both in their own homes and in mine. This experience has taught me how to truly care for dogs, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. You can rest assured your dog will be well-cared for, receiving plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. Since I work from home, your dog seamlessly becomes part of my day! They'll get consistent attention and supervision because I'm around most of the time. This means no long stretches of being alone; instead, they'll be right in the mix of a lively, active household. We'll fit in plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and even just cozy lounging nearby while I'm at my desk. My schedule is super flexible, so it's easy to make sure they get their walks, meals, and individual play sessions right on time. When caring for pets, I treat them like part of the family—whether in my home or yours. I follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In my home, we have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed or requested. I provide a clean, secure, and comfortable environment where your pet can feel at ease. In your home, I’m respectful of your space while making sure your pet feels safe and loved. I also send regular updates with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Sam is amazing! She did a great job taking care of my dogs and let herself available even I needed a sitter last minute. Appreciate her a lot and the love she gave to Olaf and Kirby! Will definitely recommend her to other furparents.”

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was little. I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Bishon Frise. I enjoyed taking care of both animals when I was mature enough! When I was out of the house I would frequently take care of my roommates dog & cat, as well as my brothers two dogs. I now have a dog of my own, my Presley! Presley is an English Crème Golden Retriever and I love taking care of him. He’s very good with other dogs! :) I work from home, and am able to adjust my schedule when necessary. I usually take my pup for a walk/hike at least once a day. I’m able to walk the dogs together or take other dogs on one on one walks. I care for pets by recognizing their needs. I’m happy to go on walks, runs, and hikes to help get their energy out. I also have water and an on the go bowl for the dogs. I’m very attentive and promise to love your fur baby well.

About: Over the years I have taken care of so many different kinds of animals. Personally, I’ve had three bunnies, a hamster, a fish and currently have a dog. I’ve learned that pets make life more fun and interesting! I’m currently working part time, so I am available most days. I occasionally work a long shift, but I am usually flexible. I am willing to frequently communicate with you about your pets needs. I don’t like knowing pets are home alone. I think it’s important to give them love and attention because they deserve it and need it!

About: I treat pets like family – Every walk, meal, and cuddle comes with genuine love and care. I offer overnight stays – Giving pets comfort in their own home (or yours) while their humans are away. I am reliable and trustworthy – Always on time, communicative, and consistent—clients can relax knowing their pets are in safe hands. I specialize in dogs and cats – Confident, experienced care for both, from walks to purr therapy. I build bonds – Pets love me! I am not just a sitter—I am their second-best friend. I am detail-oriented – Meds, feeding schedules, routines—I don’t miss a thing. I go the extra mile – Whether it's cleaning up messes, sending photo updates, or squeezing in a few extra belly rubs, I do it all with heart. I currently work from home, which allows me time to spoil your furry friend and give them the love and attention that they all deserve. Daily Basics Feed on time (follow the owner's instructions exactly—type of food, portion size, schedule) Fresh water always available Daily walks & exercise tailored to the dog’s age, breed, and energy level Bathroom breaks regularly, especially in the morning, after meals, and before bed 🧠 Mental & Emotional Care Playtime with toys or games they enjoy Affection & attention (petting, brushing, cuddles—if they like it) Stick to routine to reduce anxiety while their owner is away 🏥 Health & Safety Watch for signs of illness or distress (vomiting, limping, excessive barking, etc.) Give meds if needed (make sure you're trained and authorized) Keep dogs leashed or fenced—never assume recall is perfect

About: I recently had my dog, Rex of 15 years, pass away and looking for an opportunity to be around animals. My last summer I was involved taking Rex out at all times of the day, especially at night. I have also taken care of my nephew, Apollo, who needs to have at least two walks a day to wear him out. I personally love going for walks and have a fury companion makes it even better! I am used to being on a schedule and planning around routines. Routines are ideal to know, so I can make your pet most comfortable in their own environment. Some examples are that Rex would let me know he needed to go outside by standing by the door. He would also take a drink when coming in from outside.

“Alisa did a great job watching my pup and taking her on a walk! My pup was nervous to have someone new in the house and Alisa was so kind and gentle with her until she could get her outside. Alisa went at the pace of my pup and made sure she was comfortable before she got closer to her :) I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have had animals surrounding me all my life. However, since I graduated in the US 7 years ago I have been taking care of my best friends’ dogs in separate occasions throughout those years. I have taken care of a total of 3 dogs, both at my friend’s place and at my place, sometimes for a few days others for a week or up to a month! My wife and I have also worked with the dogs so that they would get along with our cat Gloria, which I am happy to say it has been a success so far! I have a full-time job, so I am initially looking to help from Friday evening through Sunday evening. If I can accommodate a different schedule we can always discuss a different timeframe. The pets comfort is the most important thing for me, so building a relationship with the animal is important to me, my objective is always to become friends with the pet and care for it as if it were my own. I will always ask for an emergency contact, a vet and/or hospital phone number and address that you use. Instructions on how you want your pet be taken care of are encouraged (I provide those to people that look after my cat and I find them very useful)

About: An experienced sitter with neighbor approved dog care including walks and vacation stays. My shelter volunteer work deepens my passion for all pups and pets. I am self employed and work online so my time is flexible when it comes to providing attention, breaks and walks through out the day. My home is pet proofed ensuring no hazardous items are accessible. I have specific areas for feeding sleeping and play to maintain a sense of routine and comfort. I book a meet and greet before I decide to take care of anyone’s pets. When I take of pets in their own home, I try to maintain their familiar routine and environment with little to no disruption.

About: I can’t wait to meet your precious pet! I’ve loved on dogs and cats my whole life . I’ve always had pets of my own and I will give the best care and love to your fur baby while you’re away! Our pets are part of our family and that’s the way they should be, and will be treated 😊 I have a flexible job so I’m able to drop in to let your pet out or take them for a walk. If you would like me to come stay at your home, I will need to bring my dog along with me so a meet ‘n greet is essential. He’s a sweet boy and gets along well with other dogs. I am familiar with plenty of places to walk and there are so many nearby parks for them to explore! Long or short walk, I love them all!

About: I have dogs growing up, but it wasn’t until my adult years that I really found that dogs really can be your best friends! I have a 7 year old English Bulldog rescue, Ruby, and 2 year old Miles, an Australian Shepherd mix we adopted from the APA. They each have such unique. Reds and energy levels, but at their core, it’s love, understanding, care, and some playtime! I would love to help care for your furry family members, whether that’s drop-in visits while you’re away, or walks while you’re at work. I look forward to helping you with your pet care needs! I’m currently a stay-at-home dad, and would love to add some face time with your pets to my day. I’m very flexible on weekends, weekdays are best suited for mornings and late afternoon/evenings, as we currently have one vehicle. I’m located in Ballwin, and if you’re within walking distance, I can be flexible on weekdays as well. I have experience with oral, ear, and topical medications (my Bulldog is quite the handful!), so rest easy if a little extra care is needed!
