Dog Walking Cahokia

“Jamie is fantastic. I have a Dalmatian who does not like strangers and he came for a meet and greet and was really patient and knew exactly how to handle and react to her behavior. They were best pals in no time. I use him for 5x a week walks and he always sends pictures and notes about their trip. Very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend.”

“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”

About: Hello! I have previously built a small dog sitting clientele in the city of Columbia between the years of 2017-2019. In 2019 I moved to STL and worked through Rover for about two more years until I got a full time job. Currently dipping my toes back into pet care! Although I am in St. Louis I am willing to travel to areas including, but not limited to; St. Charles, Wentzville, O'Fallon, etc. My set days off are Sunday and Monday. I do still currently have a fulltime job, so for the time being I will only be able to do drop in visits and walks. I am comfortable working with either dogs or cats. I have a 4 year old orange cat that I rescued at just 2 weeks old, so I have experience working with very small kittens as well. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work about 30 hours a week, but will not let this effect how I care for your pet! My days off are always Sunday and Monday, and I am available at anytime either of those days, as well as most evenings and certain mornings. I unfortunately cannot offer services in my own home, but I am more than willing to provide pet watching in the clients home. I am able to do drop in visits, feedings, hair brushes, playtime, walks or whatever your pet needs while you're at work or just out for the day.

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends.

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to detail, whether that's following feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, maintaining habitats, or providing playtime and companionship. I have 4 years of volunteer experience caring for senior animals, so giving medications and providing extra care is no big deal for me. I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need a little extra patience. My goal is to make sure your pets stay happy, safe, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind with reliable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for to ensure they receive timely visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special needs. I am also trained in animal CPR, which gives an added level of preparedness in case of an emergency. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure pets remain secure, comfortable, and stress-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: *insured and have a business outside of Rover. Look up entailed adventures. **I’m mostly just trying to use the app to reach more people. We have been in business for a year, but been doing this for friends family for many years prior. Whether you are busy pet parent or just needing a bit of help here and there, I take care of most animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc… I’ve had a pet care service for almost a year but I have years of experience taking care of animals for 8. I’m currently working full time, but I am working on being able to do this full time. I will keep my calendar updated to match my schedule at work until I can do this full time. I house sit at the clients home. If you do not have a fence, I will walk the pet long enough so they can get some enjoyment. I will clean as I go and it will either look as good as it did or better when you come back.

About: My parents are avid animal rescuers and dog trainers so I have taken care of many different dog breeds ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I also spent a lot of college pet sitting for my professors to fund my degree and am comfortable administering meds, crating dogs and of course helping your pet work off their pent up energy. I am a content creator and baker so my hours are completely flexible. I am able to check in throughout the day while you’re at work and also can offer overnight stays. I do sometimes host shows and events between the hours of 7-10 pm so some overnight visits may need to start later depending on how much supervision your pet needs. I am very comfortable following care plans and can accommodate your pets routine to ensure everything runs smoothly in your absence. I am also happy to check in and will ask questions if needed to clarify any instructions.

“I’ve been using Brenna for the past 8 months to walk my two German Shepherds three days a week and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Finding someone reliable who can handle two high-energy GSDs, especially one with trust issues, is not easy, but she has been consistently excellent. Every walk has been on time, thorough, and handled with real confidence and care. My dogs come home happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable with her. I always receive updates and photos, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m at work. What stands out most is the consistency and professionalism over such a long period. I never once had to worry about cancellations or last-minute issues. Highly recommend Brenna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced dog walker.”

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been the go-to pet caretaker for family members since I was nine. Whether it was for relatives traveling out of town or my own beloved dogs, I’ve handled a variety of breeds and temperaments with the utmost care and dedication. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in experienced, loving hands. My daily routine revolves around my pup. Each morning starts with a walk before I head to school for a few hours. When I get back, we enjoy some quality time, and I make sure my dog is fed and happy. Even when I work the night shift, I have a trusted friend who comes by to take care of my dog. At night, my dog is right by my side, sleeping in the bed with me until the next morning. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog in my care. Whether your dog prefers to be in or out of the crate, I ensure they are comfortable and secure. You can trust that I maintain a vigilant and caring watch over all the dogs I look after.

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I'm a pediatric nurse with a lifelong love of animals. Caring for others—whether they're children or pets—is at the heart of who I am. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members while you're away. I have over eight years of pet care experience and have worked with dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience, medication administration, or specialized care. My nursing background has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and ability to remain calm in unexpected situations, giving pet owners added peace of mind. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, sticking to their routine, or providing medications, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured. My goal is to create a positive experience for both you and your pet. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and provide compassionate, dependable care you can count on! I work 3 12 hour shifts a week, but am very flexible ! On my days off I am completely open to drop ins, day boarding, etc! I have one dog at home who is very friendly! We have a large dog area to walk safely in!

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.

About: I love animals they are my passion my life is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of our furry companies and making you life a little easier I'm a recent graduate taking a gap year, I am available every day for scheduling, except for Mondays, from 7 pm to 9 pm. 🖤 Every pet is different so my first job is to listen to the people caring for the pet about their needs (medication, potty time, feed time, etc) and take care of the pet accordingly!

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old. I’ve been taking care of them ever since! I have been watching other dogs since I was a teenager. I’ve pet sat a good variety of dogs, from border collies to labs and teeny little Pomeranian mixes! I DO NOT DO SLEEPOVERS I have a good deal of availability during the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I teach private lessons on Monday and Friday afternoons for a couple hours, otherwise my other jobs provide me a good deal of flexibility, so that I can pet set as much as possible! I do NOT do overnights! At my home our dogs have an electric fence, and have been properly trained not to cross the invisible line. I have also lived in areas where dogs are fenced in, and even with neither type of fence and just a long chain attached to the ground. Regardless I will take care of your pet regardless of the outdoor situation. I am pretty physically fit, so I can carve out some good time to take them on walks, long or short! I follow your instructions to the T when it comes to specific needs and potty/bed times. I will come to you and do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is happy and safe!

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and routines that goes far beyond the average pet sitter. From the energy of playful pups to the quiet companionship of senior cats—and the powerful presence of horses—I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that helps pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s administering medications, handling special diets, or recognizing subtle changes in behavior, I treat every animal with the same attentiveness and care I give my own. My clients know they’re not just hiring a sitter—they’re getting a devoted animal lover with years of hands-on experience across a wide range of species. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Although I work full-time, I’ve structured my schedule to allow time before and after work for morning and evening visits, check-ins, feedings, and playtime. Caring for animals brings balance to my day—it’s something I genuinely look forward to and make time for with intention. Because I know how important consistency is for pets, I prioritize punctuality and clear communication, ensuring your cat (or dog, or other companion!) stays on their routine and feels comfortable while you’re away. Weekends and holidays offer even more flexibility, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize three things above all: safety, trust, and a stress-free environment. I know how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar surroundings while their humans are away, and I work hard to maintain the routines and atmosphere that help them feel secure. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, following detailed instructions and keeping things clean and tidy. From securing doors and gates to monitoring your pet’s behavior and health, I take every precaution to ensure a safe, calm experience. My goal is to make your time away as worry-free as possible—for both you and your pet. You can count on me for consistent updates, honest communication, and dependable care that reflects genuine love for animals.

About: I have worked with 3 shelters on finding animals homes and have fostered for the past 5 years. I love animals (especially bully breeds) and am well versed in various behavioral issues (stranger danger, dog aggression, leash reactivity.) I am a grad student at Wash U in Psychology. My schedule is different depending on the semester, but have fairly flexible hours outside of class. I have a fenced yard, 3 dogs of my own. I typically do not take in home since my male can be selective with other dogs, but am happy to do multiple drop ins a day if needed.
