Dog Walking in Ballwin

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.

“Cynthia was amazing- she went above and beyond the call of duty. It’s obvious that she loves animals. It stormed all weekend while we were gone, but she was very careful to make sure that our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Cynthia.”

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!

About: I have had a lot of experience taking care of pets! I live on a farm when I am not at college so I know how much care and love animals need! I just recently got a new puppy and I love to care for him! I am currently a student/athlete at Valparaiso University. My schedule is pretty open and flexible and i’m always open to adjusting when I need to! I don’t not currently have a job so i’m usually available whenever! I love spending time with animals! I am very loving and caring. I enjoy going on walks and getting exercise! I able able to care for any type of dog or cat!

“Alli was great with our dog, Daisy. She was always on time and sent lots of pictures from each walk! We will definitely book with Alli 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.

“Great skill in handling a large strong dog. Best thing is my dog looks forward to his walk with Sam.”

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: 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!

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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my love for animals and my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. Growing up, my family had two dogs, so I have cared for pets through every stage of life, from puppies to senior dogs. After caring for both, I gained valuable experience in dog walking and watching. Overall, I am confident that I can adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I am also very reliable and great at communicating. I will make it a priority to updates the parents with messages and even photos. I am currently a college-athlete, so during the school year, I do have to dedicate time each day for class and practice. However, I want to make time for this because I really enjoy spending time with animals. Since I can not be with my own, pet walking/sitting is the perfect opportunity! When I care for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow their routine as closely as possible so that their pet feels comfortable. For dog walks, I would make sure to match the dog’s energy level and needs. As for their safety, I am always alert and off my phone so that they have my full attention.

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have done fostering and cared for many pets with sitting. I am home to be able to care for your fur baby and let out for frequent potty breaks, playtime, hugs and walks. I am reliable to be here for your pet needs while you are away. Again when I have them, they get my 100% attention. I can be around to take care of all their needs. My home has availability to have more than 1 dog if they are relaxed dog friendly or I mostly do 1 dog at time. Everything is discussed upfront and happy to have any meet and greet. I will go by rules you have at home to ensure it will be same here. IE. Crate, on furniture or no furniture. What foods needs and be sure to follow that all.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a beagle and a dachshund mix growing up. Now I have a sweet cavapoo named Ivy! I am gentle with all kinds of pets and really pay attention to dogs behavior and mannerisms. Their safety and happiness are my number one concern. I will be graduating from Mizzou in May! I just finished up an internship that I had this semester, so I have all the time in the world now! Feed, take out, take for walks, play, cuddle, and any other tasks that you would like for me to do, and give them all the love they need.

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.

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

About: I have had large dogs since I was 5 years old and currently have no puppy love! I would love to take care of your animals. I have had experience with all sizes of dogs/cats. Currently I have an open schedule since I am an off-season athlete! My days consist of coaching and working retail. I have extra time in my day that I would love to spend with animals! I would love to come to your home and care for your animal in their safe environment! I am very respectful of others spaces and follow house rules.

About: I have worked in dog care for multiple years and have gained many skills from this. I have also had a lot of exposure to different dogs and their needs! I do work at a dog kennel currently, but wanted to try something on my own but I would work this around my work schedule as I am only part time. Firstly I will always respect your space! I would love in-depth instructions to ensure no confusion. I will complete all tasks properly and meet all their needs. Their safety is most important as well as caring for them properly:)

About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for two years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I am home from college for the summer, so I am willing to spend as much time as possible with your pet! I have a sweet elderly dog named Olive to keep your pet company! And most importantly, I have a large yard to keep your dog active and on their feet!

“We are more than happy!”
