Dog Walking in Granite City

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, female and male, kittens/puppies being bottle fed, middle aged animals, and seniors taking medication. I also have experience with aggressive cats specifically. My name is Mary by everyone calls me Mae. My pronouns are They/Them. I am looking to earn money through my passions. One of those is helping animals! I am available any time necessary to do checkups on your animal(s)! I make sure their water is always full, that they aren't over or underfed, and that they've had plenty of bathroom breaks, playtime, and cuddles! I'll give them treats if you let me too!

About: Ever since I was little, I have had a passion for all animals, big and small, of every kind. I have 4 pets of my own, 1 cat and 2 dogs (a Shih Tzu and an American Staffordshire) and a guinea pig! I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years. Anytime a family member or friend will be out of town, they all know they can count on me to provide unconditional love and care for their pets, because they know... PETS ARE MY PASSION. THEY ARE FAMILY! I am open and flexible with my schedule, and can accommodate most needs. I have experience with puppies, kittens, birds, bunnies, older cats, and older dogs, (and sick pets too 😞) I have lost a few pets in my life, but all have lived long healthy lives with so much love. I'm familiar and comfortable with giving pets their medicine if needed. I have lots of love to give, to all the animals I meet! Rest assured, your pets will be cared for! **AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS!** I am a self employed house cleaner, so my schedule is very flexible.

I am capable of providing medication and other special care for your pets. I believe pets are family and I will treat your animals as my family.

I look forward to helping you out Unfortunately, my current living situation prevents me from accommodatimg more dogs or cats. Although, animals in aquariums are welcome and will be treated with love.

I am fully devoted to taking care of animals fir the time being. My schedule is flexible. I understand plans come up last minute so short notice shouldn't be a problem!

About: I am an animals lover, who is excited to fill her day meeting new animals and people! I love being active and working with dogs. My love of dogs started when I was very little. I trained my first pup when I was about 10. My first pack was a Mastiff, Great Dane and St. Bernard. You could say I don't mind a challenge ;) Feel free to contact me with any questions. Why I love dog sitting Since I was very little. I used to study dog breed books when I was young :) It progressed from there. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had to give my dog's liquid and pill forms of medicine. I currently own four dogs. I have a pretty flexible schedule. This means every day is filled with walks, potty breaks, and treats.lol Spoiled babies! I have a big fenced in yard and my own four dogs. If any dogs were to stay with me, they would be separate from my own dogs to ensure safety for everyone.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up around pets and developed a deep love and respect for animals of all kinds. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat who are truly my world, and caring for them has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience, gentle care, or medication support. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they’re away, and I treat every pet in my care like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I do not currently have a job so during the day, I am free to check in on your fur babies whenever they need me. I am very flexible to take care of your pets based on the schedule you normally have with them. I will always treat all animals with respect, care, and love, but I want to do that on their terms. It’s always a big change having a new person taking care of them, so I don’t want to disturb their routine too much.

“Allison did a great job with my dog Lola. She showed up right on schedule and Lola warmed up to her very fast. She even brought a treat for Lola to have after her walk. I will definitely be using Allison again in the future and suggest anyone to do the same if they want excellent pet care!”

About: Growing up, my parents took my to a farm camp every summer. Being surrounded by animals of all kinds (cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats, etc), ignited my love for animals at a very young age. I love to dog sit and walk dogs whenever my schedule permits. I do have a golden retriever of my own, she is very friendly and would love to go on walks with your furry friend if that is okay with you. I have loved fostering in the past. Fostering has allowed me to get to know many breeds and behaviors of dogs which has made me a proficient dog walker and pet sitter. As a nurse, safety is always my priority. I will always ensure your furry friends are safe and well taken care of. I am currently working 3 12hr shifts a week. I would love to help out whenever I am available on my days off from work! When caring for pets, I ensure to build trust in order to make sure the animals is as comfortable as possible. With this being said, I make sure to take my time during visits and pay attention to how your pet is feeling. I realize all animals are different! Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, their energy level, and if there are any behavioral issues I should be aware of. I of not need to know any of these ahead of time, however, I like to know as much information about your pet as possible so I am able to accommodate them to the best of my ability.

About: other sitters? I bring over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life from rambunctious puppies to sweet senior companions. I currently care for my own 17 year old senior dog and German Shepherd teenager, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and attentiveness that all pets need. I’ve also raised and trained puppies from the ground up, and I love helping them grow into well mannered, happy dogs. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles, structured routines, or a calm, reliable presence; I’m here to provide compassionate, experienced care tailored just for them. I am currently a 4th year RN student with a lot of flexibility and availability during the week. I have clinicals once weekly, generally on Wednesdays. I am available after 7:30 pm on Wednesdays for walks and drop ins, and have availability 8:00 am- 8 pm for walks, drop ins, play, and extra potty breaks. I have a 6.5 ft privacy fence, two happy friendly dogs, and a calm cat. My home is generally very calm and relaxed. When coming into a clients home I will treat it as my own with respect and always leave things looking better than they were before I came in. I have the utmost respect for your home, pets, and belongings.

About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.

About: I have experience with caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats all my life and have taken care of many family and friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with animals with any temperament and will always take a gentle, loving approach. Let me know I can assist you and your fur baby! I recently was laid off, but have received an offer for a FT job. I will working from home MWF and will be available on those days in the mornings, lunchtime, and evening. I am also available Tuesday and Thursday evening and most weekends. I won’t be able to welcome any pets into my home since I have two cats, but will always walk into an animal’s space with love and respect (and a lot of admiration in the form of telling them how perfect they are). I understand some animals can be very anxious in general or around new people, so I keep that in mind and will always respect their boundaries. Lots of pets and compliments for them if they’re comfortable.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages! I currently have a senior dog, so I’m very familiar with administering medications on a timely schedule and ensuring they stay comfortable and cared for. I also love spending time with playful pups helping them burn off all that energy while making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog needs calm companionship or active attention, I’m here to provide the same care I give my own pets! Pet care is a natural part of my routine! I work remotely once a week and, on other days, I’m home every 3 hours to check in. I make sure your pup gets plenty of attention with potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I treat every pet like family and make sure their needs are met throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and caring environment alongside my capable and friendly senior dog, who is well-socialized and gentle. I always ensure pets are supervised, secure, and feel right at home whether it’s sticking to routines, managing medications, or giving them space to relax and feel safe. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 from my personal pets to my aunts or neighbors I’ve always cared for and adored animals I am currently a stay at home mom, so your pets can get most of my undivided attention from me and my daughter who also adores animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but i have a big back and front yard definitely enough space for any pet to enjoy! I let my daughter play out there while I watch.

About: I have grown up in a household with dogs, mainly the medium to large sized breeds. I have experience with all sizes of dogs though, as I have taken care of a variety of sized dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have taken care of cats and dogs when needing medical care - especially giving meds and minor wound care - and also have groomed and walked many types and sizes of dogs. I love making sure the pets are healthy and happy. I have volunteered at an animal shelter to help with the care of animals - providing play time, meds, and grooming of both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full time student at SIUE and I'm in the MFA art studio program. For Spring 2026 semester my schedule is Mon-Thu for 6 hours continuously for classes/GA positon. Fridays typically I'll be at campus for a few hours for creating work, in crits, or in meetings. Weekends I'm generally free. Please note these amount of times away for house sittings and let me know if this is of any concern. I'll let you know if there is something happening during your requested time that will have me away from the house for longer than normal. During house sitting, I can provide food, medicine, play time, walks, and many other services. I also am willing to assist with house related things - bringing in mail, taking trash out for trash pickup, etc - just let me know and we can work it out. For walks and drop ins, my availability is generally flexible outside of classes/work and will work with you to determine the best time(s) to be there. I can also provide some house related services (like bring in mail and packages) upon request. Please note I do have in person classes at SIUE Monday through Thursday, so availability is based upon schedule and distance from campus. I am available to help with the pets at the clients home. I can either stay at your place or go home at night, which I can work with you based on your needs and comfort. I have experience with gated and non gated yards (so needing to leash the dog when taking out for the potty), gates for inside the house, and crate training. Often I will have my own leash with me so that if anything happens, I'm prepared. As for walks, I often work with the dog(s) to see what triggers them and avoid as much as possible. I know not all dogs are friendly with other dogs or people so I am aware of my surroundings and provide appropriate distance and avoid people and dogs as best as I can.
