Dog Walking Matson

About: Hi there! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have been around cats/dogs my whole life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats! I currently have a dog and a puppy of my own. I am a school speech therapist who is off work for the summer. I would love to make some new furry friends and to help ease your dog mom/dad guilt while you’re vacationing or at work. I will treat your babies as my own, whether it’s giving them snuggles while you’re away, taking your furry friends for a walk or just stopping by to say hello! I understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I value open communication and will send you updates with pictures while you are away or busy! If you are interested or have any questions please reach out to me. I’d love to set up a meet and greet :) I am on summer break from work so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to my daily schedule. I am a night owl so I have availability during the night as well. I have a lot of pet experience and would love to provide long walks and visits with your pet while you’re at work or have plans!

“Very punctual, very nice! Will definitely be having her take car of my dog in the future!”

About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I work a full time job, but I do have the ability to work from home when needed and a flexible lunch break. I am mostly free between 7:00-8:30 AM or 6:00-9:00 PM M-F, but I am also available during lunch hours (11:00AM-2:00PM) and weekends upon request. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.

“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with both ends of the dog spectrum: puppies and seniors. I can handle puppy training basics like potty schedules, crate routines, and leash manners, as well as senior care including medication administration and mobility support. You'll get honest daily updates with photos. No fluff, just reliable care. I’m current a college student home for the summer and taking online classes to fill up my time but my schedule is very flexible for your needs. I would say I can promise you that your pets are in great hands since I have always been so attentive with pet care while living with so many animals in my life.

“Donovan is great with my dogs. His visits give me peace of mind knowing my dogs get “relief” in the afternoon and I don’t stress as much getting home quickly. Donovan is reliable.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I started driving and love to walk and interact with them. I care for the pets like they would be my own. I am very friendly and open to any type of pet and how they interact with people and adjust to their style. I’m currently in college and play soccer full time. I’m home for the summer and I can sit or walk pets at various times throughout the week. I do have a somewhat flexible schedule with work and can work around and care for any pets at different times of the week. I will keep the house clean and help pick up or do any tasks needed while I care for your pet. I also make sure that I am safely caring and looking out for the pets on walks as well to ensure the best care needed.

About: Fostered 11 dogs with my local animal rescue groups. While the fosters were under my care, I would work on basic training and making sure I understood them so I could find them the right home. I have had multiple animals (horses,cats,sheep,goats,mules, rabbits, chickens, you get the picture. ) my whole life. Grew up with puppies being born multiple times a year. I had a 114lb lab mix for 8.5 years and he passed in February. So I'm used to the big dogs. Currently we have 2 cats. I am the kids chauffeur. One child is in hillsboro while the others in ofallon. Wed-fri im in ofallon with down time so I am free during school hours. I will love on and give your pets the attention that they require. I'm capable of feeding, watering,playing, giving any oral medication as needed,having the pet "kennel up" when necessary.

My only other job is Uber Eats, so I am completely flexible! Let me know what times work for you. I am completely open all 7 days of the week and am willing to spend the night! Whether you want your dog tended to part time or full time, I’m here for it! A dog must feel safe in order to feel at home. It is my duty and goal to ensure the safety of your dog. When introducing myself, I will get down on my knees and open my hands for him or her to sniff. From there on, I strive to be as loyal and loving as your dog is!
