Dog Walkers in Ellis Grove, IL

About: Hi there! My name’s Jordan, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home (and couch!) with 2 energetic dogs and 3 hilarious, personality filled cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. Growing up with animals taught me the importance of patience, playtime, and knowing when a belly rub or a quiet cuddle is exactly what they need. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves fetch or a shy cuddle bug who just wants some company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress free for both you and them. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own, because I know how much love they bring into our lives. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I'm fortunate enough to work from home so i'm always available and easy to contact. I will be 110% devoted to your animals and I will make my schedule fit around your needs. I do not offer boarding because i'm currently living on the Warren Airforce Base BUT, I can assure you that your home, dogs, and belongings will be protected and taken care of.

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: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since age 5. My friend's neighbors and family have all trusted me to care for their animals. Including feeding, bathing, & walking. Rover is my fulltime job, I am available Monday through Friday daytime 11:00am-4:00pm & some Sundays in the areas of Ste Genevieve, Perryville, Festus, Bloomsdale,and Farmington. I am open to do day visits and dog walks. Please let me know the Sunday before for the week what you need! This leaves plenty of time for puppy loving! ❤️ I currently have a very gentle loving puppy who loves to play indoors & outdoors. So in my home your dog will have some company 😀 I do not have a fenced in yard which is a challenge so we go on walks in the neighborhood & have a nearby park we enjoy going to so no worries! We have lots of fun and exercise! We play games outside and inside.

About: Hi! I'm Dannielle, I've been a certified dog groomer for 5 years. Dogs are my passion! I have 3 pups of my own- a special needs shepherd, a spunky 2 year old pit mix, and my sweet senior boy. On my off time I enjoy making homemade dog treats, jerky, and doing dog crafts such as making collar flowers and bandannas. As a groomer I am always continuing my canine education, especially related to safe dog handling. My goal in life is to meet all the pups! Being in a salon management position I do have a good amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks in the evenings and select day visits. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting during the week and on every other weekend. I do not care for pets in my home due to my personal dogs however I am open and adaptable to care for your pet at your home however you see fit. Keeping a steady routine is important for our furs. I am comfortable walking dogs on leash, in a fenced yard off leash, and with crate training.

About: While I may not have "professional" pet care experience, I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always been a go-to pet helper for family and friends. I believe in gentle and attentive care. I am committed to making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved... because dogs truly are family! I am excited to earn your trust and become your dog's second-favorite human! 🐾 I work full time as a first responder. My schedule varies due to a 48/96 work schedule (this meaning I work 2 days on, 4 days off). I am typically available all off days, but my schedule will vary! I do not currently have any pets due to just moving into a new home! Though I do still have 2 dogs back home that I see often. I aim to create an environment where your four-legged friend will feel secure and relaxed. I achieve this by only sitting one pet at a time in a large house with no other pets. I love giving all the attention to the pups, but also have plenty of space for those who are shy. I also provide pictures and videos of pets upon request :)

About: I grew up having dogs, so I have a lot of experience taking care of them and walking them. I also have experience taking care of cats. I have completed over 50 petsits on another site and have also done petsits independently for individuals, but am excited to be involved through Rover! It has been a positive experience caring for people's pets in their homes. I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets with various needs. I strive to make it a completely positive experience for the owners. I want owners to feel assured that their pets are safe and in good hands with me as their sitter. When you book me as your petsitter, I ask that you put in writing (or text) the exact specific details of what you want done, any info on medications, meals, routine, walking, etc. This helps ensure a positive experience for all! My first housesit/petsit was in 2016, independently through a contact from a friend. I have a unique path in that I'm a petsitter/uber/doordash driver and musician! I've also been able to travel and petsit for others. I have gotten to meet wonderful owners and pets in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Arizona, and California! St. Louis is my home base, so am available for petsitting in the St. Louis area. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I'm available for in home overnight petsitting and drop in visits/walks. If I know in advance, I can usually accommodate most times of the day. I am also available for overnight sits. I book fast and often well in advance, so the sooner I know the better! I am an uber driver and musician, so I do need to go out for at least 3 - 4 hours at a time during at home petsits. But I am very conscientious of each pet's needs and make sure I am attending to their needs and not gone excessive periods of time. I am not able to have any pets sleeping up close in the same bed as me due to allergy, sinus, and sanitary concerns. But, it is totally fine for them to sleep in a separate bed or crate in the same room as me. I am also available at a higher rate for constant care, which is where I am at the home 22 - 24 hours out of the day. I don't have pets over at my home. I prefer to have clear instructions of expectations typed out on the Rover app or written out, preferably both. I want to do an excellent job so clear communication of expectations is important. From my petsitting experience, I follow the instructions and protocol each pet owner gives me. This includes use of a doggy door if available, best walking practices, making sure pets don't run out when entering/exiting, feeding routines, etc.

About: I currently have 2 dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Both of my dogs are very high energy so I am used to keeping them busy. My male dog is 3 years old and he requires a lot of love and attention. He is great with kids and other animals. My female dog is 6 years old and she's a very anxious girl. She prefers to be the only pet but is extremely affectionate with people. I have experience with small and large dogs from puppy to elderly. I am comfortable feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pets. My availability is flexible. I am willing to stay at the owners home so the dogs feel safe in a familiar area. I am available for daily walks or extended stays. I have experience with special feeding and medication routines for pets if needed. I also have experience caring for more than one pet in the same home that are on different schedules or need to be kept away from another pet in the home. I will treat you fur baby like my own and they will be well cared for! I'm currently in the process of going back to school so I am not working a scheduled job right now. My availability is flexible. I'm available for daily check ins and walks. I'm also available for extended or overnight care throughout the week and all weekend. I will do all of my care at the client's home per the client's instructions on their pets needs and will provide care in the way the client specifically wants their pet cared for. My availability is open and very flexible! I can take last minute requests, overnight stays any day of the week, can stop in multiple times a day to check on your pet if needed. I will do my best to accommodate any situation and make sure to take great care of your dog/cat! I will give your pet lots of love and attention! I will make sure to follow any instructions or requests while I am caring for your pet(s). I like to send daily pictures and updates to give you piece of mind while you are away. I always keep notes with your normal routine with your pet as well as any other information I need to know while caring for them. Before caring for your pet(s) I like to spend some time with them during a meet and greet because it is extremely important to see how your dog or cat responds to me before I am hired to care for them. Being a dog mom myself I would want to see how my dog responds to someone before I made the decision to hire them. Your pet(s) safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priority when caring for them!

“So great! Took our dog on an extra long walk (which he needs!)! Thank you so much! Will be booking again!”
