Dog Walking Oak Grove

About: I am a musician, property manager, & ex-software dev who enjoys taking care of animals. One of my favorite experiences was caring for a small farm (dogs, cats, horses, and chickens!) in Kentucky. I love taking dogs on walks around town & to explore the river! I am committed to consistent and clear communication; I place a high value on the professional relationship between house-sitter and host. I love sending daily updates as requested. I don't work during the day, so I can accommodate feedings, med delivery, walks, and playtime all day long! I try to structure my day around the client's schedule, so that the animals don't experience a disruption in their normal routine. I love doing overnight sits for pets in the environment they are most comfortable in — their own home. I find it easy to adapt to a pet’s schedule and routine and I love exploring new places around town via walks!

About: For the last 5 years, I've been volunteering care for a herd of goats on Gillie's Creek Park. I am also the primary farm sitter for several friends' homesteads and a frequent pet sitter for friends and acquaintances. I have a broad range of experience: handling elderly animal care, newborn feeding/monitoring, pet anxiety, unique medication/feeding schedules, and general care for most farm/domesticated animals. I have a deep love for animals and their welfare with a desire to assist you and your pet in any way possible. I'm currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Typically not away from home for more than 3 hours at a time during marked available hours. My schedule can be adjustable if coordinating in advance. If caring in your home, I ensure that all items are back where they were originally left and that all feeding bowls and areas accessed are cleaned and organized. My home has a fenced-in yard, plenty of plants, natural lighting, and no other pets to contend for attention or food.

About: I've been caring for animals for years, both my own and those of family and friends. I raised my family's senior dog from the time she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of a dog's life—from energetic puppy years to the extra patience and attention that come with senior care. I'm also the proud owner of two cats that I've cared for since they were just two months old. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, recognizing changes in behavior, and creating a safe, enriching environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care so they feel comfortable while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions before our visit. In your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

“Mel did an outstanding job with our dog, Buster. She did everything we asked her to do, but most importantly, she truly loved our pet. We will be calling on Mel for future dog sitting! Thank you Rover for helping us find her!”

About: I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, just passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

About: Hi! I’m Kristy, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things. As both a dog and cat owner, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including senior pets and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and caring for pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or reassurance. Having cared for my own pets through health challenges, I’ve learned how important it is to be observant, reliable, and proactive. Before changing careers, I was a teacher, so being dependable, organized, and communicative comes naturally to me. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting presence around, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry family! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m able to be reliable, responsive, and accommodate a variety of scheduling needs—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to give them the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. While I don’t host pets in my home because my own dog prefers to have her space, I’d love to care for your pets through house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks. I find many pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment, and I’m committed to keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”

Samantha W.

“We couldn’t recommend Fran enough! She was extremely prompt and communicative throughout the entire process and our pup loved being walked by her. We also really appreciated the photos/videos of each walk and the thorough recaps afterward. When we need dog services again we won’t hesitate to reach out because we know our pup is in good hands. Thanks Fran!”

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs. Once the school year starts I will still be available! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

About: I grew up with a Beagle and a Maltese! I have over six years of hands-on animal care experience and focus on safety, reliability, and personalized care. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. As a fully remote college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, which means I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, playtime, and companionship. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and structured home environment. My 2,800 sq. ft. home provides plenty of indoor space, and my large backyard allows for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I maintain a clean space, follow each pet’s routine closely, and make sure they receive individual attention, comfort, and care throughout the day.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was a young child. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets, and I’m committed to giving them the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I love going on walks, playing, and creating a fun, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and loved. I work a hybrid job which gives me the flexibility to add this job to my daily routine. I am able to work with your schedule/needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and stress-free. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean space with plenty of attention and affection. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet gets the same level of care they’re used to, with lots of love and companionship while you're away.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
