Dog Walking Machens

About: I have been caring for a Maltese since I was 10 years old. I am 21 now and I live away from home. Dogs bring me joy and I have a lot of time on my hands so I look forward to the experience. I do not work so I spend a lot of time at home and you can trust that your dog will be in good and attentive care when they are with me.Also I went through training programs with my own dog; I am not a certified trainer but I know basic obedience training such as sit and lay down. I enjoy walking and exercise so 30 minute walks will not be an issue and overnight stays are welcome I enjoy animals.

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.

“Thank you for walking Ted ! I appreciate your swift responses, the meet and greet and flexibility, and being prompt. Thanks for taking him out in the snow/cold! We really appreciate it! Highly recommend Holli!”

About: Hey. My name is Ali, I train dogs and this is a cool way to do what I love! I treat my dogs as if they were mine children & would do the same for anyone’s pet in my care. Making sure they’re comfortable and safe is my top priority. The way pet care fits into my day is regular because I’m taking care of my dogs and others literally all day so it’s a normal routine. My home and yard is dog friendly I’ve been training dogs for 15 years so I have the hang of keeping pets clean an safe.

“This Chic is amazing as always! I would trust her with my dogs life!! And that speaks volumes as long as she’s available’ I will continue to book her! My fur baby loves her already!! 10 stars!!!!!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two students high school and college, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. This is my full-time occupation, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life. From training puppies, to caring for older dogs who have needed round the clock medicine and care and everything in between. I have taken care of kittens/cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, you name your pet and I have probably come into contact with it at some point. I have always wanted to become a veterinarian, but life took me in other directions, so now I show my love and support for the animal community by helping people take care of their fur babies. I am currently working night shift 3 nights out of the week, but I could be available for walks or pet sitting any other time. My neighborhood is wonderful, I have plenty of nearby parks, as well as, a walking trail directly in my neighborhood. It is a very pet friendly place, with lots of other pets to interact with and also has a dog park. I usually only do healthy treats for training, but obviously will cater to whatever schedule or routine your animal needs.

About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.

About: I’ve been around dogs & cats my whole life taking care of them and I have a 3 year old and 4 month old fur baby right now! I will treat your baby like my own! When my family needs a pet sitter I’m usually the one they call! I currently work a full- time job but I am more than willing to keep your pup occupied while I’m at work if they stay with me if I do drop-ins I will do it before and after work! I do not have a yard but I am more than willing to bring your pup on walks and play fetch with them in my condo! I do have 2 female dogs that would love a friend to play with!

“Perfect walker! She has that special touch with animals.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was about 10 years old! I am also a certified veterinary assistant! I understand the importance of taking care of your pets- they are family! I will do whatever is needed to meet their accommodations or needs! I recently graduated from SIUE with my Bachelors degree and am currently job searching/taking a little time off, so I have complete open availability as far as my schedule goes! I am open to staying the night somewhere if that’s needed! I am more than willing to come to your residence to take care of any type/number of pets! I have my own car so I have reliable transportation. I don’t mind taking them out as much as needed to go for walks or to the bathroom, as well as just playing with them / keeping an eye on them indoors!

“She was amazing with my dog. Super great communication and energy to match my pup. He was thrilled with her and getting his exercise. Will be re-hiring for sure.”

About: I currently own 2 dogs and have grown up with dogs my whole life! We are on a very good schedule with eating, potty, and walking. I am used to about a 30 minute walk with my dogs so I’m willing to take them however far they want. I love dog cuddles and playing fetch. I live with all my pets and am responsible for caring for them everyday. I can walk, play, and feed on a schedule very well I will strictly follow a schedule if you were to give me one and make sure your animals are well taken care of every day

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

About: Ive been an emergency vet tech and helping hand for 6+ years. Ive had animals my entire life & adore them so much I made a living off keeping them safe & healthy. Your loved ones will be loved in my home & heart. I work long hours but that means I have more days off to help you out. 3 days out if the week i have off & can accommodate your oets here in my home or stop by your house for potty breaks/walks. My yard is fenced in, my animals are very friendly, my teenage son loves animals & hopes to follow in mom's footsteps in vet med.

About: Hey friends! I graduated with an AAS in Veterinary Technology in 2019 from Muscatine, Iowa. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2020 and I absolutely love it. I have a large passion for animal care and know that they deserve as much love as people do. My family and friends have always had animals as well, so I’ve helped with them here and there. I’ve done quite a few jobs on here and it’s always been a great experience! I am CPR trained for both cats and dogs and know how to give various medications in various ways. I worked at Northgate Small Animal Hospital in Collinsville, IL for over 2 years and recently quit this year due to my CF, but I still keep up to date with my licensure! I can work with dogs, cats, and small exotic animals including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, etc. Don’t worry, you can trust me with all of your fur babies!!! As previously mentioned, I quit working as a Vet Tech in 2023 do to hardships with my Cystic Fibrosis. I still do Rover jobs, so feel free to ask me if you need me! I had a baby earlier this year in April, so my schedule will depend on him and that of my hubbys! Other than that, just let me know and ask me! I don’t watch animals at my home due to our dog, Chief, being dog aggressive but I’m always happy to come to your home and visit your pets! I’m happy to follow a schedule or do whatever you need while at your home!
