Dog Walking Ellendale

“Annamaria has been great! Charlie seems to really like her, and she’s been able to get him out of the house every visit so far - he can sometimes be a bit stubborn and refuse to get up lol. I’m very happy with the service so far, and definitely plan to continue having her work with Charlie.”

About: A long time mid-30s pet parent who recently retired from the corporate world to pursue textile art. Since I’m now working from home, I have a flexible schedule to help out neighbors with their furry family. I currently have two large dogs and three cats, and have experience managing a busy feeding time, surgery recovery, as well as walking reactive pups. I also have experience caring for and cleaning up after guinea pigs and hamsters. I am a go-to for pet & house sitting for friends and family and so excited to become best friends with yours! My schedule is totally flexible. When I was working long hours and traveling for work, I found it was so hard to find a sitter who was able to pop in irregularly or on short notice. I’m hoping to be that for you. With 5 pets in my own home, I won’t be able to board at my house. I have two large dogs (Aussie and Cattle Dog mixes) and three cats ranging from new kitten to over 15 years old! I have gone through surgeries, managed medications, and reduced reactivity on walks.

“Sheldyn did a great job! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures.”

“Janina took excellent care of my pup. She was communicative, prompt, and even helped her learn to walk better on a leash! She provided sweet updates that helped me feel at ease.”

“Took great care of my very energetic puppies!”

“I have an older dog with chronic diseases, and Hope has been so great. It is clear she truly cares about her. She has passed on tips from her veterinary ICU experience and has used her own supplies to help her.”

About: Coming from an animal loving family and already volunteering part time at the Humane Society, I just can’t get enough of walking dogs — especially big ones ! My family’s dog, a total mixed breed that we raised from a puppy, is a modest 80 lbs. Before we got him, I grew up with a border collie and a cattle dog mix, so I deal well with high energy breeds. I’m happy to take them on 2+ mile walks multiple times a day. I have always had dogs, so I have a lifetime of experience raising, training, and taking care of them. I currently work part-time as a French teacher, frequently online, so I have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. Plus, if I am staying long term at your house, my students will love to see your pet pop up on my Zoom video! I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. If you have a pet that just needs feeding and a potty break/litter box scooping, I can provide that. If your pet is a little needier and needs playtime, ear rubs, and someone’s lap to sit on, I’m also eager to provide. I understand that each animal is different.

“Virginia is fantastic! She helped walk our two dogs daily for 2 weeks. She was great with our dogs, reliable and an excellent communicator. Her report cards offered helpful info about how the walks went and I trusted her to take good care of our fur babies. I highly recommend Virginia and will certainly be reaching out to her again next time we need help with our pups!”

About: ***Constant care pets will be an extra fee*** Constant care is care in which we cannot leave your pet alone for more than 3 hours. Meet and greets are free unless you need more than one before the stay, then the first meet and greet is free. My expertise is with older dogs, pets with disabilities (such as dementia or seizures), and pets that need medications. I'm also experienced in multi-pet homes where one or more pets are seniors/special needs and other pets are high energy or puppies/kittens. I have experience caring for pets who are recovering from operations as well. If your pet does need Constant care, we can negotiate a price that works for you. I've always had pets. I have always had cats, dogs, guinnea pigs, or ferrets. I'm versed in many kinds of animals and am happy to care additional small animals if needed. Short notice is ok as long as there are at least 2 days between the time I'm asked and the time of the stay so that there's time for a meet and greet. For repeat customers, I accept even same-day requests. I work 8 hours, 4 days a week. Since we do petsitting together, if there is a need for constant care, one of us will always be present in the home with your pet. Safety is my #1 priority when caring for your pets. I make sure to watch pets attentively on walks and in the yard to ensure maximum safety. My services include grabbing mail and packages, watering plants, giving medications as instructed, daily walks as instructed, basic cleaning up after myself and your pets, daily updates and pictures, and following your regular schedule as closely as possible to ensure as seamless a change as possible while you get to experience a worry-free time away.

“Caroline was super helpful and flexible as we rolled into town to check out the Arch and needed a dog walker/sitter for our Goober. She had great communication and was excellent to work with!”

“Laura is very helpful, dependable and thoughtful. Laura has been helping me out while I have been stuck traveling from flight delays....with a couple of extra visits for my pup. I cannot be more grateful to Laura for her extra help at the last minute.”

“Really wonderful experience with Ross. He is prompt and timely, an excellent communicator, and very nice! My dog loved him, I would not hesitate to book him again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I love dogs in all sizes and have the most experience with chihuahuas from puppies to much older puppies. I love going for walks and going places with doggies but I’m also not opposed to a leisurely stroll or hanging out on the couch! Currently I am waiting to start my full time position so I have lots of availability and can start immediately! I am doing this because I love animals and I need a little extra cash to get me by! I am willing to go for walks and do drop ins. I have recently been house sitting for family members with multiple dogs and I have taken those dogs on walks, to the vet, and even to camp. We play and hang out and I spend the night with them!

About: Hello STL pet parents! I am new to Rover but I've taken care of all ages, sizes, and various breeds of dogs since I was young, ranging from Chihuahuas to 110 lb Bouviers. My husband (former dog trainer) and I are the proud dog parents of two friendly rescue chihuahua mixes and we take them everywhere with us when we can and consider them to be our family. We have also had the privilege of caring for a rescue pittie who was skittish around other dogs at first, and a pug lab mix who never met a stranger. I nursed one of my current rescues through heartworm treatment after first adopting her and saw our pug lab mix through chemo when she was diagnosed with lymphoma. I take the care and love of dogs very seriously and believe we owe them the utmost respect. It would be my honor to apply that same philosophy of care and compassion (and fun!) with your beloved family member. I can be available any day of the week, though I prefer notice for weekends. Overall however I can be flexible! If the service is a walk I would prefer that to take place before 6:30 p.m. My yard is fenced in with a privacy fence and if I let dogs into the yard I am always out there with them the entire time. I have two small dogs who are friendly and enjoy gentle playing with others. I'm also comfortable visiting in your home or taking your doggo out on an adventure.

“Anya was great! She came every morning for two weeks to walk my dog while I was recovering from surgery. She was always on time and my dog absolutely loved her!”

About: I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I have to say though that I cannot walk for an extended period in thunderstorms or freezing/icey temperatures. That's for my safety as well as your dog's. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Allison has been dropping in and taking our dog on walks for a few months now and she has been wonderful! She is very prompt, reliable, and communicates well. We would highly recommend!”

About: I was born and raised in Colorado and recently moved to St. Louis and I’m excited to explore the city while spending time with some amazing pets along the way! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have over 10+ years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I genuinely love working with all kinds of pets, whether it’s taking dogs out for long walks, keeping up with energetic puppies, or spending quiet time with cats and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with dog walking, pet sitting, and cat check-ins, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs. I’m an active person who enjoys being outside, so getting dogs out for exercise is something I really enjoy. At the same time, I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to help care for them and give you peace of mind while you’re away!

“Prompt, reliable, capable and could be a professional pet photographer all describe Hayley. She has been walking my 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy for several weeks. She arrives at the requested time, she's patient with my energetic puppy and takes the best pictures (I've posted them on social media and my friends absolutely LOVE her!). She communicates in a timely manner. I work FT and need someone I can depend on to care for my pet, and Hayley has done a fantastic job doing it. Thank you so much.”
