Dog Walking Ballwin

About: I’ve grown up around and taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits and I have a lot of experience taking care of animals at rescues as well. Caring for animals is something that has always been a consistent part of my life. I’m currently in college and apart from babysitting a couple times a week, my schedule is very open and I am super flexible. I’m usually available for a meet and greet same day or next day, and I consistently answer my phone quickly. I go to university in the fall and spring, keeping me close to the area at all times. My schedule is very open, so I will be able to spend adequate time playing with and giving attention to your pet. I can be home almost all day if you wanted, spend the night with them and can take them outside as frequently as you like. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I would treat my own. I am flexible, being able to provide just about any kind of care for your pet and open communication for you!

About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.

“Alli did an outstanding job of watching our dog for a week. She was always on time and left us great notes after each walk. Most importantly, our dog was calm and happy when we got home - a true sign that our dog was perfectly cared for. We’ll use Alli from now on.”

“Kari was great. On time, gave long walks and timely communication.”

About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.

“Jennifer was able to help me out on a last minute request to walk my dogs as I had to leave town. She walked both my dogs on a short notice and was great with them. Will book again!”

About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.

“Fantastic experience! I was worried about leaving my dog so soon after moving him in with me but Cynthia was very caring, attentive to all my concerns and left awesome updates. Will have her back!”

About: I really enjoy spending time with furry friends and provide a lot of attention and care to them. I am attentive to their behavior and emotional state and communicate everything to owners immediately. My perfect fit would be mature dogs with moderate to low energy levels, that are quiet and like to cuddle. I don't do well with highly anxious dogs but can provide a good level of support to slightly/moderately anxious dogs. I can provide regular exercise in a form of the walk as often as needed but am unable to take the doggy out more often than every 3 hours. About me: I'm quiet, responsible, and easygoing. Don't have visitors often. I like to draw, do something crafty and read! Prefer a quiet environment. My parents live with me too. My dad works full time, but my mom is almost always home. I'm have flexible schedule and often work at home, so your pet won't be left alone very often. And if we do need to leave, it would only be a few hours and I would mention it to the owners to make sure it is okay. I can provide potty breaks every 3-4 hours but prefer dogs that can stay alone without potty break for 4-6 hours just in case. I will do what I can to accommodate your pet's needs! We have double door and I usually a bit anxious about safety and concern about dogs running away. I will also make sure there is nothing unsafe on the floors before pup arrives.

About: I have experience from working at Kennelwood for 2 years and volunteering at the Humane Society. I've always cared and loved for animals and connected to them deeply. I am a college student so most of my freetime is in the afternoons and on weekends. Please understand if I need to study or do homework! I will respect any boundaries you put in your own home. I would be happy to play with your furry friends and make them feel loved even when their owners are gone.

“Very nice and friendly, and Scottie really loved her. He came back tired after his walk, which shows he had a great time. We had a very positive experience and would definitely book again”

About: Ive been an emergency vet tech and helping hand for 6+ years. Ive had animals my entire life & adore them so much I made a living off keeping them safe & healthy. Your loved ones will be loved in my home & heart. I work long hours but that means I have more days off to help you out. 3 days out if the week i have off & can accommodate your oets here in my home or stop by your house for potty breaks/walks. My yard is fenced in, my animals are very friendly, my teenage son loves animals & hopes to follow in mom's footsteps in vet med.

About: Animals are our family members. There’s a good reason they say dog is mans best friend. Dogs are special. I have owned several dogs over the past 30 years I have dog sat for several friends and family members. I know your fur babies are precious which is why I treat them like they are my own. I have always only had good experiences with dogs. I am a sahm, so breaks to play or walk with a dog are welcome! We love being outdoors. Supervised Play keeps everyone safe and happy:) I homeschool one of my two kids so we have a pretty flexible schedule. We have a goldendoodle pup named Gracie she loves walks and chasing tennis balls and she would love some doggie friend play dates! We take several walks daily, trips to the park for a fun run or play in the yard with tennis balls and bubbles. Dogs will always be on leash to keep them close and supervised unless they are enclosed in a safe area.

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.

About: ****Attention****Before booking your pet’s stay with me, if your dog is an escape risk, I will not service them. ( I will go into more detail through booking.) I have taken care of my family member dogs and ever since then , my family never relies on anyone else to take care of them. I will walk , feed , play and bathe your pets. I will do everything I can to make sure your pups are having a good time and make sure they are happy with their experience. I am available everyday of the week and I can also work around your time so I have all day and night to play and take care of your pups ! I also live with my spouse and he is also an animal lover so he will be helping me out also to make sure they enjoy their stay. We will make sure that your doggies get all the snuggles and cuddles. They will be in a non -smoking and clean home. This is a non-danger home that I am staying in. I will do everything to make sure you and your pets are in a trusted and safe environment. They will be in the house before it gets dark and I won’t let any harm happen to them.

About: I’ve lived with my dogs for around 10 years. I take them for walks, feed them when my family needs some help. I have a big dog and a medium sized dog! I don’t have any professional experience but I take care of my dogs often. :) I’m a student at Mizzou, so I will typically be busy until 3pm when I’m in Columbia. When I’m back home in Ballwin over breaks, I should typically be free at all times. I can’t have pets in my home, but in others home I am able to give walks, play with animals, and do anything that’s needed! I love taking care of animals and I’m super careful with them.

“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: Just reactivated my Rover account in June, 2026. I am a dog person. I have two dogs, Clover and Nova which are 70+ pound husky/ Aussie mix dogs that will play hard and sleep harder. I will give your pup tons of attention, play time, and can work on training if needed as well. I love training my dogs as well as other dogs, so if you’re looking for a trusted dog walker with training experience I’m ready to help. Look forward to meeting you and your dogs. I work long days and most evenings and looking to walk dogs on my lunch break close to my office. I love walking as I walk my dogs multiple times a day. I will always leash your dogs on walks. I am familiar with the gentle leader leash and training no-pull harness. I can handle dogs that may be aggressive and will go to the other side of the sidewalk if your dogs aren’t friendly with other dogs.

“Excellent. Reliable. Loved our puppy. Went above and beyond. I highly recommend Amy and will use her again as much as needed. She is an asset to your company. I was very pleased with Amy and rover. Very approachable and flexible. She is a keeper for sure !!”

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 am usually flexible and I am willing to frequently communicate with you about your pets needs. Pets often have to be at home alone, so I love getting to brighten their day! I think it’s important to give them love and attention because they deserve it and need it!
