Dog Walking in Granite City

About: I've had cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can bathe dogs and administer meds to both dogs and cats. Ive also had birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and a tortoise. 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! I am very interactive with animals as I believe this is how they feel loved. I will tend to any special needs they may have!

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!

“Corrine was amazing with my dog who can be very reactive on leash. Not with her! Would love to have back her anytime we need someone she is available.”

Jenny C.

“Thank you so much for taking her out even in the rain!! Will absolutely be reaching out again next time I need help”

About: I work at Metro East Humane Society and have handled both puppies and adult dogs of all sizes. I love all types of dogs and love working with them especially the shy ones! I currently work part time so I am available most of the time when I’m not working. I also have two of my own dogs and make sure I’m up early! I have been walking all types of dogs for the past year at the humane society, even the leash pullers and reactive dogs deserve to have their time outside. I have also learned to properly medicate dogs so if medications need to be given I can handle that as well.

About: i’ve been around dogs my whole life and cats too, so being with animals just comes naturally to me. i have two cats and a dog of my own, so i’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines every day. i’m a huge animal lover in general—not just pets, but everything from little beetles to deer and anything in between 😂 i’ve always had a soft spot for animals. i pay attention to how they act and what they need, whether they’re super playful or more shy. i make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the attention they need while you’re away. i treat every pet like they’re mine, and i know how big of a deal it is to trust someone with your animals. i’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and i’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well taken care of—no stress on your end. my days usually start around 8–9am depending on when my cats wake me up for breakfast lol. my dog zuko is more of a couch potato, but when he needs to go out he definitely lets me know. i work from home and my schedule is super flexible, so i’m not stuck at a desk and can move around freely throughout the day. that means i’m able to give pets a lot of attention, take breaks for walks, and adjust my day around their needs. once i’m up, i take zuko out for his first bathroom break, then we come back in for breakfast. after that i’ll relax a bit, clean up, and then we head back out for a good walk or sometimes the park. after that we come back, he gets a treat, and the rest of the day is pretty go with the flow—lots of attention, check-ins, and making sure everyone’s comfortable and taken care of. i make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. i live in a loft that gets a lot of natural sunlight, and my pets love it—they’re usually sunbathing and relaxing most of the day, which creates a really peaceful vibe. i pay close attention to behavior and routines so pets feel comfortable, especially in a new space or with a new person. i’m also very mindful about things like doors, food safety, and keeping anything harmful out of reach. i follow your instructions closely so your pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. since i work from home and have a flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone or ignored—they’ll get consistent attention, care, and a relaxed environment. i’ll also keep you updated so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.

About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.

About: I've loved dogs and cats since a young age. As I've grown older, my responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playing and even cleaning up after of various breeds of dogs and cats. 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 am a kind, caring individual who will go above and beyond for your furbaby. At this time, I have a full time job, Hence house-sitting for low maintenance animals is primarily what I can provide. 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.

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 can and will work around your schedule to provide the utmost care for your pets when needed. I ALWAYS provide photos and keep you updated on your pets!! I understand that time is a valuable thing, so I always make sure my pets, and others are always taken care of. I take pride in my pet care. I am honest, and patient, and it makes me so happy when pets get excited to see their owners, or guests.

About: I’ve always said that my dream job would be walking dogs and also volunteering at a dog shelter. Welp, after a move I’m semi-retired with a flexible work from home business and need to keep busy. I love dogs and have two of my own. Jennifurkey is a 2 year old papillon we got from the pound. She was 3mo old and her former owner got arrested for DUI and she went to puppy jail (the pound) and was never claimed. She has never felt unwanted since! Her older brother Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw (chihuahua 11yo) is her parter in crime! They are inseparable. Over the years we have had a mix of dogs and are huge dog lovers. We have had everything from a 3mo old pound puppy to a diabetic rescue dog that was used as a breeder for 7 years with spinal problems that was kept in a kennel for those 7 years… and our last dog who made it to 17 years old with hearing, vision, and other ailments that required special food and medication. If you can’t tell, I am very experienced in a magnitude of dog care and will treat your dogs as if they were my own! I always have a bit of squee when I see cute puppies (all dogs are puppies lol) in public. I am somewhat retired. Recently moved to Granite City from California. I am regularly in Metro East and St. Louis. I don’t mind travel within 15 miles or so. I mostly work remotely from home and generally have a flexible schedule. I am available for one-offs if you’re busy or traveling or ongoing while you’re at work! We live out in the country off a gravel road, yet only 6 miles from downtown St. Louis! We are on half an acre with a fenced in yard. We currently have 2 small dogs. Jennifurkey is a 3yo papillon who is a ball of love and energy. She loves to play and run around in the yard. Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw is a 11 year old chihuahua who is slow to trust but once he likes you or another dog, will be best friends. We regularly treat our yard with pet safe pesticides for flea, tick, and other unwanted critters. We actively grow lavender, lemongrass, and French marigolds as all-natural pest repellent. Also we walk the perimeter daily to ensure no pup is digging an escape tunnel lol In your home I will ensure that your babies routine remain as close to normal as possible. They can be kenneled at night or if house sitting they can sleep wherever they are used to. They are already stressed missing you, why make it any harder. As long as you have WiFi, I can work and take care of your babies. I am experienced in administering basic medicines and possibly insulin, depending on how used to or your baby is.

“Amazing, responsible and responsive. Our dogs love Abigail Jean.”

Things like food, water, walks, pets, and all of the love & attention they may need!

“Zaria has walked our dog 3x/week for the past 2 weeks and has been great. Reliable, communicative, and is amazing with our not-very-disciplined 55 pound dog, who loves it when Zaria comes. We will be doing a recurrent booking with Zaria for as long as she’s available! Highly recommend.”
