Dog Walking Edwardsville

About: Hi, I’m Shanna! I provide care at your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their normal routine while you’re away. As a remote worker, I’m able to stay at your home during work hours - great for pets who are used to company throughout the day! My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I am happy to follow detailed instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. Specialties: I have a soft spot for shy or nervous pets, and I take extra care to follow their lead and let them warm up at their own pace. My experience caring for my own anxious and reactive dog has given me extra understanding for pets who need a predictable environment and time to build trust. I am also experienced with puppies and young dogs, and I understand the importance of consistency, routine reinforcement, and providing outlets for their energy while they’re still learning. Meet & Greet: I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet with new clients to make sure everyone feels comfortable and that we are a good match. For safety, my husband Nathan may join me for this first visit, but all pet care and in-home services are always provided by me. I work primarily from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around your pet's needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, or spending extra time keeping them company. I truly enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the care and respect I’d want for my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet (and your space) in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. For pets, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, and their safety and well-being is always my top priority. In your home I am very mindful that I am a guest. I keep things clean, make sure everything stays secure, and treat your space with respect. I aim to leave everything just as you left it. I am happy to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.

About: Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets, so as soon as I was on my own, I got my first guinea pig! I'm currently taking care of two piggies, and contrary to popular belief, they all require very meticulous care — constant fresh water and unlimited hay, daily vitamin C tablets, fresh veggies, portioned pellets, daily spot cleaning with a full cage cleaning every two weeks, and the occasional eye ointment when a piggy gets a case of hay poke. I also have experience administering oral medication to guinea pigs. I got my first dog in October of 2023 — a Border Collie puppy! She gets weekly teeth brushing, coat brushing, nail trims, and paw pad shaving when appropriate. I take real pride in keeping up with her hygiene, with baths about every three months (unless she gets filthy beforehand) and frequent paw washings when it's muddy out. I also maintain a training regimen — I'm not by any means a professional or certified trainer, but I'm both consistent and persistent about getting my pup to a level that Victoria Stilwell would be proud of. I watched A LOT of It's Me or the Dog growing up! I also have experience caring for dogs in heat. My experience with cats isn't as in-depth as my guinea pig and dog experience, but rest assured, I have plenty of love and care to offer them too! I've house sat cats in the past for weeks at a time — feeding, watering, playing, and cleaning litter boxes regularly. My cat care doesn't go much past those basics, but I take direction well and am always willing to take on kitties with more specialized needs. I hope this gives you confidence in my ability to properly care for your pet! I'm always happy to answer any questions or concerns, and I will NEVER take a risk that could negatively affect you or your beloved pet. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are wide open for me, unless my calendar says otherwise. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I work a 9-5, so pet sitting visits on those days are scheduled around my work hours, but I'm still available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. No matter the day, your pet gets my full attention and the quality care they deserve, every single time. Depending on the boundaries and rules you set, I'm always happy to take your pet(s) out for exercise at a dog park or just a walk around the block. I love giving animals human interaction and have no issue spending time playing, whether that's tug of war, fetch, or puzzle games for pets that need some mental stimulation! If you're interested, I can send check-in pictures so you can see how your pet(s) are doing while you're away, along with any other updates you'd like. Safety is incredibly important to me, which is why your pet(s) will be carefully monitored the entire time they're in my care. I personally keep security cameras in my own home to monitor my dog while I'm away - I even have one dedicated specifically to keeping an eye on my guinea pigs! You can never be too safe, and you can never take too many precautions.

About: With 10 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide professional and loving service for your furry, feathered, and scaly friends. Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or specialized care, I ensure your pet receives personalized attention tailored to their needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. From administering medication to providing playful companionship, I bring a decade of expertise in building strong bonds with animals of all kinds. Let me offer you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. Im working a full time job with a varied schedule so if you do pick me to work with you I'll let you know what dates and times will work for me. For the most part I can do mornings and evenings. Currently im working 9-5 I have a large fenced yard and constantly take my dogs for walks. I'm fine with walking dogs the normal way with leash and bags. How every you do it I'll adapt no problem.

About: Hi! I’ve been a dog sitter since 2009, and I truly love what I do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — including seniors, diabetics, and blind pups who need a little extra attention. Every dog has their own unique needs, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Back to business! I work remotely, so my schedule is nice and flexible. I always enjoy having a part-time job caring for dogs — it’s something I truly love! I take care of each pet as if they were my own. At my home, I offer a warm and safe place with lots of love and playtime. In the client’s home, I keep their pets’ routine the same, making sure they are fed, walked, and cared for just the way the owner prefers.

About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.

About: Hello Community, my name is Bridget I'm a Kansas State Alum with a degree in Animal Science. I'm a full time Veterinary Assistant and a big-time animal lover. I love caring for pets and meeting the variety of personalities they have to offer. I enjoy strolling in the park and taking fur babies on car rides. I love finding ways to help my community and caring for your fur babies like my own. Pet care is my current side job alongside my full-time job as a veterinary assistant. I am finding new ways to help my community while saving up for my veterinary school journey. I can care for your pets in your home by helping with everyday tasks such as feeding, walking 15-30 mins, and grooming if necessary. Trimming nails or cleaning ears if deemed necessary.

“Emily was the absolute SWEETEST and BEST help with our girls while we’ve been out of town. She was so so understanding and good with them, our two loved her from the beginning and it was so comforting knowing she loved our dogs like her own. Could not appreciate her more!!”

About: I grew up wanting a dog and not being able to have one, so I took to playing with, walking, and helping to train my neighbors’ dogs instead. I have experience now with all different sizes of dogs. I can comfortably walk any size dog, and work on leash manners if necessary. I also have experience training basic obedience, recall, and working with fearful or reactive dogs. I worked at Puppy’s Playpen for almost 2 years, and gained a ton of experience with all sorts of different types of dogs. I was also trained in administering medications, including insulin, while working there and I’m very comfortable with doing so. As an adult now, I have two dogs of my own. Both of my dogs are crate trained, and I have no problem keeping them up and/or separated from your pet(s) if requested! My brother also lives with me and has a small dog of his own as well, but she stays in his room when he’s not home and is with him when he is. I’m currently between jobs and mostly do DoorDash in my spare time. I’d love to fit your pet(s) into my daily schedule! In my home, I have two dogs and several cats. My dogs do well with other dogs, but are also crate trained and can be separated! My cats are strictly indoor only, but can be contained to one room if needed. I have a large half acre fenced in backyard as well. I do not treat my yard with any kinds of pesticides, but we do not have any pests such as fleas. In a client’s home, care would depend on the type of home/yard. If there is not a fenced in yard, all potty breaks would be on a leash to ensure the safety of your dog. With a fenced in yard, the dog(s) wouldn’t necessarily need a leash but would still be supervised at all times! I’m willing to talk about any special circumstances or specific needs you or your pet have!

About: I've taken care of many different types of breeds of dogs, specializing in bully breeds, for over 30 years. I recently retired from registered nursing and would love to continue to take care of non humans! I love dogs and am very active. I believe that dogs need love and most importantly exercise! I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. Your doggy/doggies will feel right at home and you can be sure they will become a part of our family! I am recently retired and I have all the time in the world to care for dogs! I am very physically active and I will diligently exercise all my doggy friends! I am very dependable and have a wide open schedule with ample flexibility. I have a fenced yard and your doggy will have a female mixed lab to play with! Be assured that your doggy will get plenty of exercise and love while in my care.

“Tori is doing a great job walking our mom’s dog! She’s an Aussie rescue and very shy, but she warmed right up to Tori. Very thankful to have found her!”

About: I love animals and have 2 dogs of my own. I will love and nurture your pet like my own. I will build trust and make sure they are safe and cared for. I have a lot of spare time so I can basically come pick up your dog and take them on an adventure anytime! We can walk, throw the frisbee or do anytime they want/can do! At home, my pets are treated as if they were my children. They are loved and cared for like royalty. They have everything they need in life to be comfortable.

“Michelle is fantastic! My pup loves when she “pinch hits” for my dad when he’s out of town. She gets a good walk, some snuggle time and a treat before Michelle leaves. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Phoebe does a great job tiring Henry out on a walk, and she makes sure he gets his daily probiotic and dental chew. He absolutely loves her, and we know we can trust him in her care!”

About: Hey! I’m Alissa, and I’ve spent over 4 years loving on animals through doggy daycares, a humane society, and now as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities— from bouncy puppies to sweet senior pets who just need a little extra TLC. I’m especially experienced with older pets and those with medical needs, and I always take a gentle, low-stress approach to make sure they feel safe and comfy. Got a shy or nervous pup? No worries—I’m super patient and all about building trust at their pace. I also enjoy helping young dogs learn the basics (like sit, stay, shake, and lie down), and I can even trim nails for those who are chill with it! Whether your pet is playful, sensitive, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own and do my best to keep them happy while you're away. I currently work at an animal hospital 4 days a week (Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and alternating weekends) until around 5:30 PM. ✅ Available: Tuesday – Open availability Evenings after 7:00 PM-9:00 PM on workdays Midday weekends – typically free between morning/evening shifts Let me know your pet's routine, and I’ll do my best to fit them in with the care they deserve! When I care for pets in their own home, I try to keep things as normal, safe, and comfy as possible—like you never even left! I take the time to get to know your pet’s unique quirks, routines, and favorites so they feel totally at ease with me. I stick closely to your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, meds, walk times, or just knowing which toy is the real favorite. For seniors, shy pets, or those with anxiety, I use a calm approach and let them take the lead so they feel safe and respected. I’m totally cool with alarms, crates, and all the little home details, and I always treat your space with care. You’ll get regular updates and cute photos from me so you know everything’s going great. I hope to make every animal feel relaxed, happy, and most of all loved.

About: Hi, I’m Madison! Animals have always been a big part of my life. My mom owned a grooming salon, so I grew up around dogs and learned early on what it means to care for them. In 2009, I became a professional dog groomer and have spent years working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My grooming background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of meeting each pet where they are. Whether it’s a confident puppy, a senior dog, or a pet who needs a little extra patience, I enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I’m also a cat owner, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Along with walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, I offer my professional grooming experience for services like nail trims. I know how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care, follow your pet’s normal routine, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I look forward to getting to know your pets and providing the kind of dependable care I would want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-ins, and attention throughout the day while keeping pets on their normal routines. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy making time for them. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’m also a cat owner, so I understand the importance of a calm, safe environment and individualized care.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have 3 dogs, a cat, and a 75 gallon fish tank in my household and I love them all dearly. I take my dog Willow to the dog park regularly and I hope to be able to help keep your pet active as well! I am an honest a genuine person who you can trust in your home and with the safety and happiness of your pets. I used to work as a veterinary assistant and am more than capable of administering medication, including insulin and checking glucose levels. I hope I can bring you and your pets happiness with my services! I’m fine with any ages as well :) Puppies and senior dogs are always welcome. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I am currently in school and doing Rover full time, so I tend to leave periodically throughout the day for drop ins and I also play volleyball. But besides that I am able to stay in your home most of the time :) I live in a shared house, so if you would like me to take care of your animals in my own home, I would need to clear it with my roommate first! I have plenty of space that isn’t shared so as long as your pet is small/medium and fully potty trained, that most likely won’t be an issue. I have a fenced in yard. I am also receptive to those who are very particular about their pets as well. Whether they are handicapped and require extra attention, need medication at certain times, or if you would like me to take them on a certain amount of walks per day etc. I should also mention that I am a people please at heart, so you are guaranteed great service! 😊

About: My name is Olivia L. and i recently moved back to Kansas City. I have had a passion for animals since i was a child, always looking to go to the farm and take care of the animals, looking after my friends and family’s pets, and trying to see if i could convince my parents to add a new edition to the family. I have had many pets over the years and i am always interested in giving some love and attention to any animal who is willing to love me back! Hiring me to be your dog or cat caretaker would not only be an honor but an amazing opportunity to connect with Earth’s most pure creatures. Thankyou for taking the time to read my bio! I look forward to working with you! I am currently working part-time and i make my own hours so i am very flexible! I look forward to playing with animals most in my week and daily life! i currently live in a large house to accommodate any size pet with a big fenced back yard! I do not provide a kennel and believe animals should spend little to no time in them! I have two cats but if your pet does not get along with felines i can easily have them separated!

About: I've trained service dogs and puppies. I've also cared for multi-animal (species and number) households and I've been doing so my whole life. Whether the dog is big or small, I'd love to help! Pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. I have ADHD that leans towards forgetting to do stuff for myself. To counter that, I connect my human activities with my pet activities. Like "I fed the dogs and cats" and then the next sentence is "Oh! I will feed myself too!" I have crate trained dogs before and can reinforce that training to ensure that dogs feel safe and secure in their resting area. I like to familiarize myself with their habits. For instance, where does your dog like to go for a walk? How do they exercise? What's their favorite treat and when do they usually get them? Do they like doing a particular activity? This is my client's home and with that it is my client's pet's home. I take that to heart and try to embed these habits into their daily routine so that they can be cared for well and in the way that they know.

About: Neighbors, friends and family trust and rely on me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies. I am extremely dependable and competent. I am semi-retired and currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I can work my schedule around your needs. Very flexible and willing to work with you. I have a fenced back yard and currently do not have any of my own animals as I love to take care of yours. Please let me know what pet care needs you require, and we can work together.

“Arrived on time. My pup seemed very happy.”
