Dog Walking Dittmer

About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.

About: I have been watching dogs through Rover for the past three years or so. I truly enjoyed having a dog around and decided to adopt one of my own. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, I check in on dogs, cats and birds in my neighborhood. And I would love to care for your dog for a few days in my own home or stop by yours so you can enjoy a vacation without having to worry about your fur baby. I currently work full time so weekends are best. However, I am a teacher and I will have more availability during spring break and the summer months. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am willing to take your dog for walks. I am home for most of the weekend and will be able to provide care and comfort for your dog. I also have three teenage children who are able to help out if I will be away for a few hours.

About: I personally have worked with bunnies, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, cats, and dogs as a pet sitter as well as in a clinical setting! I’m definitely an animal person! I am happy to walk, feed, bathe, give love, and overall care for any members of your pet family! I have been given the ability to care for many families pets in the past and I pride myself on responsibility and a high quality of care. I’m comfortable and confident with any and all medical needs your pet may have, I can give subcutaneous fluids, administer inhalers, give oral medication, intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. I also am well versed with diabetes care and blood glucose checks. I am fully available for any and all care your pet may need. I recently elected to leave my full time position as a Veterinary Technician to be more available for family, so I have all the knowledge of a vet tech with full availability to take care of your fur babies! I can and will strictly follow your guides for care, diet plan, and exercise schedule to keep your pets routine as normal as possible in your absence. I will always be just a phone call or text message away if you have any questions, or just want to check in! I’m able and willing to send updates your way during my time with your pets to provide peace of mind, as well as to establish trust. I have a vehicle, and am able to take your pets to and from a veterinary clinic in case of emergency.

About: I have 30 years of experience with dogs. I am now retired and would love to spend time caring for your fur child. You'll find I am very reliable and a good communicator. I love playtime, walks and spending quality time with your pet. Will feed, give meds if needed, take outside to potty, bring in mail, and water plants if needed. Prefer to come to your home for care. Possibility of caring for your small dog in my home (fenced yard) as long as your dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, friendly with my little Norman and is fully potty trained. I like to say "Pets are people too!" meaning that they have feelings and deserve all the love they can get. I am now retired so very flexible for daily visits and will update all availability. I have a reliable vehicle. Available per visit or daily. I care for each pet as I would want my little one to be cared for. If care is in my home, I have a fully fenced back yard. I do like to spend quality time when I visit and will want to meet you ahead of time at no charge to make sure we are covering all care needs and to get to know your pet.

About: Hi my name is Maddi! I am the proud owner of Bombproof Canine Training LLC, I absolutely love what I do and I just wanted to leave my Rover account active to help connect with previous / potential clients. I have a huge heart for high drive & misunderstood breeds. I rescued my American pitbull terrier from a kill shelter in Brooklyn the day she was set to be euthanized back in 2012. Rescuing and rehabilitating her really opened my eyes to what my purpose in life is and that is dog training. I am a Fear Free certified trainer as well as a CPDT-KA. I specialize in service animals, reactivity, fear, separation anxiety etc.. I'm also a huge advocate for rescue animals as well as responsible breeding, I have a high drive 4.5 year old black lab named Tater, a 3 year old malinios named Banshee, and a 2 year old Border Collie named Salem. I would love to help care for your pups while you’re busy at work, away on a trip or even if you’d like to set up some private training sessions. My own dogs are VERY high energy so I completely understand what it’s like when you don’t have the time to properly handle that. I really love being the “energy management coordinator” 😜 so if you just need someone to stop by and play ball for a bit I would love to help! At this time I prefer taking drop in visits, select boarding cases and training consults but will consider other options on a case by case basis. Don't hesitate to ask! I work in the canine industry full time, my focus is on training but I really enjoy drop in visits to help manage exercise and enrichment Every dog in my care will be treated as if they were my own, I encourage you to follow me on instagram to get a better understanding of how much I truly care about my animals.

About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life. I have also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors and love to take my German shepherd on runs. I live at home right now and am taking one class online and work-part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets and snuggle them. I make sure the animal will stay within boundaries if they have to stay in a fence and will make sure that they get all meds needed or food on time.

About: I’ve been in a dog household for as long as I can remember, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. From feeding and walking to playtime and giving them lots of attention, I’m very comfortable handling dogs and making sure they feel happy and safe. Being around dogs daily growing up has helped me understand their different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m also a very active person, which makes dog walking something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer energy-burning outing, or just some companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to provide it. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can give your dog the attention and care they deserve. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels comfortable, exercised, and loved while in my care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want both you and your pet to feel confident and at ease. I’m currently a student at a local university, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I typically have classes from 10 AM to 1 PM on most weekdays, but outside of that time I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-ins, or pet care. I’m usually free in the mornings before class, afternoons after 1 PM, and evenings. Because I have a lighter schedule outside of class, I’m able to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their dog’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any specific care your pet may need. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection during visits. Whether that means going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I will always treat your home and your pets with respect and care.

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.

About: My friends tell me that I am an animal whisperer haha! I love the company of an animal and giving it all of my love! I used to have a dog of my own, we were best friends, but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I’m not at the best spot in my life to have my own pet again so I wanted to find a way to still love on animals and have their presence! I currently have a full time job in St. Louis. I am available to WFH if I need to watch your pet(s) during the week!! More than happy to do so :) We have a very large yard/field behind my home but it is not fenced. I will be sure to have your puppy on a leash if need be!!! We also live in a neighborhood, off of the main road in town. I am also available to watch them in STL as I have family that live there!

About: Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime. As a stay-at-home mom with older children, I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs seamlessly! Please reach out with any questions about my availability. As mentioned earlier, our household comprises three friendly cats and a 6-month-old puppy. They are all well-accustomed to meeting new furry pals and get along famously with both dogs and cats. If necessary, we can easily arrange separate living spaces to ensure your fur-baby feels comfortable and at ease.

About: Welcome! We are a passionate, animal-loving mother-daughter team ready to give your pets the royal treatment. My lifelong love for animals started with my childhood beagles, followed by a schnauzer, and has grown to include four dogs of my own, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and numerous fish! We are starting this venture this summer to help my daughter build her skills and chase her lifelong dream. Ever since she was 4 years old, she has wanted to be a veterinarian—she even has a master plan to build a vet practice and a petting zoo on the exact same property! I love her animal-loving spirit and want to support her dream in every way I can. We work as a dedicated team she will be taking the profits and placing them into her savings account), so rest assured that your fur babies will truly become our fur babies while they are in our care. We can't wait to meet your pets! As a school district employee, I am currently on summer break until August! This means my schedule is wide open, and pet care is my main focus right now. My daughter and I are home almost all day, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, constant supervision, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, midday walks, or just lots of couch cuddles and companionship, we have the flexibility to match their exact needs. Once school starts back up in August, we will transition to evening and weekend care, but for the summer, your pup will get our full, undivided attention! Because our own dog prefers to be an 'only child' and a single-sibling fur baby, we exclusively offer care in your home! When you trust us with your pets, my daughter and I will treat your home with the utmost respect, exactly as if it were our own. For House Sitting, we adapt entirely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. This includes their regular feeding schedule, medication administration if needed, and plenty of play and cuddle time. For Drop-In Visits or Walks, we ensure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and of course, lots of love. We also always make sure your home is secure before we leave and will send you plenty of photo updates so you can see how much fun we are having!

About: From personal experience, I have had a dog for about 8 years now. Full pit bull and I love him dearly. I only have one, but am thinking about another. With new dogs I don’t know I am always gentle to start until they get to know me. I’m currently working part-time at Sarah’s on Central and typically work Thursday-Sunday. Starting in August I will be attending Maryville University as well. In my home, I only have one dog who honestly does get spoiled to death but he loves it that way. If I’m home all day I will take him out every 2-3 hours just to make sure he is all good and everything and if able will go with your dog as well unless less time is needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages since i was a kid. I worked in a vet as well for 1 year and I have 1 dog in my household that I love so much! I am home full time to watch and play with your sweet fur babies! I would love long term set schedules but i am also flexible. I am here to provide your dog or cat with a fun, safe time and for you to have no worries! I do not currently have a fenced in yard we are trying to find something to change that temporarily till we can get a fence but My husband and I take our dog on walks frequently so I would do the same for your baby! I have a house so we have plenty of room to play around if the weather is not ideal!

“Thank you for coming on short notice and helping us to walk max.”

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: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started caring for pets around age 6 and have continued ever since. I’ve worked in an animal shelter, giving me experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and care needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for exotics such as reptiles, spiders, and birds. I treat every pet like my own and tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. Im currently available 5 days a week could do some check ins on weekends. Im unable to to boarding but can dog walk and check on pets. I am a single mother so I do have to make time for my daughter on top of loving many animals. Most days I am available after 8:30am to 2:30pm sometimes until 5pm. I have a fenced yard i would habe to do a meet and greet with the pets in my household and other pets from other homes first if I had them stay with me.

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.

About: Hi, I’m Erica — a highly experienced animal care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals of all kinds. I’m trained as a veterinary assistant, including assisting with surgeries, administering medications, and caring for senior, disabled, and post-operative animals. I specialize in calm, consistent, in-home care for pets who do best staying in their familiar environment. Many of my clients have animals with medical needs, anxiety, blindness, mobility challenges, or strict routines, and they trust me to provide compassionate, detail-oriented care while they’re away. I’m also very comfortable with multi-pet households, rural properties, and farm animals. Having grown up on a farm myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals large and small, as well as maintaining a home and property with respect and reliability. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, keep your pets safe and happy, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. -20+ years caring for animals of all species and temperaments -Veterinary assistant training, including surgery assistance -Medication administration (oral, topical, injections if required) -Special-needs pets (blind, senior, diabetic, post-surgical, anxious) -Farm and rural animal care -House sitting and extended stays -Potty training and behavioral reinforcement -I’m calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and deeply respectful of routines — especially when animals depend on consistency. Pet care is intentionally woven into my daily and weekly routine, not added on as an afterthought. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care so they receive consistent attention, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. This allows me to be fully present for feedings, walks, playtime, medication needs, and individualized routines, while also offering flexibility for pets who need extra time, patience, or reassurance. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my days are built around. Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of every service I provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize calm, consistency, and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so their care feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, secure, and peaceful environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Supervised outdoor time is provided in a safely contained area, and all interactions are thoughtfully managed to ensure each animal feels comfortable and respected. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost care and follow instructions precisely to maintain the pet’s normal routine. With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary assistant training, I am confident administering medications, supporting senior pets, and caring for animals with special needs. I maintain clear communication, provide regular updates, and care for every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love.
