Dog Walkers in Saint James, MO

About: I've been a Rover sitter for over four years, and I've enjoyed all the different breeds and personalities I've gotten to interact with! I have experience administering medication and caring for elderly pets. My husband and I recently added an Australian Shepherd to our family, and she loves getting to meet and play with new friends. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide quite a bit of interaction for your dog(s), and we'll prioritize playtime and walks. During my time with Rover, I've gained experience working with puppies, small breeds, and a lovely Great Dane. Whatever your situation is, I can't wait to meet your pups! I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before we book any services to ensure that you're comfortable and at ease that your dog will have an enjoyable stay.

About: I grew up in a family where animals weren’t just pets—they were part of our daily life and the heartbeat of our home. Over the years, we cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and chickens. There has never been a moment in my life without at least one dog or cat by my side. That lifelong connection turned into a genuine passion for animal care. Because of that, I’m working toward opening my own boarding facility—one that will not only care for family pets, but will also take in strays and rescues who need a safe place to land. Using this app is my first step in that journey. I’m here to: build meaningful relationships with pets and their owners gain hands-on experience with a variety of animals and personalities earn supplemental income to invest directly into the boarding and rescue facility establish a future client base built on trust, reliability, and genuine care Your pets will be treated like they’re part of my family—because caring for animals is something I’ve done my entire life, and something I take pride in doing well. Pet care is a major part of my everyday life. I recently left my full-time job so I could dedicate myself fully to working with animals and building my future boarding and rescue facility. That means I’m able to structure my days entirely around pet care — not squeeze it in between shifts or treat it like a side task. Every week, my schedule is centered on drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and enrichment. I set aside dedicated time each day specifically for pet visits, check-ins, updates, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. Because this is my full focus now, I’m able to be flexible, reliable, and fully present with every animal I care for. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple pets throughout the week, your pet becomes part of my daily rhythm — and they’ll always get calm, attentive, and consistent care. How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Clients’ Homes My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on the same routine they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I make sure they get calm, consistent attention and all the essentials they need. In Your Home: When I’m caring for pets in their own environment, I follow your instructions exactly so their routine stays steady. Here’s what you can expect: • Fresh food and water on your preferred schedule • Clean litter boxes or outdoor potty breaks • Daily enrichment, playtime, and companionship • Respect for your home, your space, and your pet’s boundaries • Clear communication and photo updates every visit • Extra patience for shy, anxious, or rescue pets • Medication or special care needs handled as instructed I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and familiar — which helps pets feel secure while you’re away. In My Home (if applicable): In my home, pets get a safe, supervised environment with plenty of love and structure. They receive: • A quiet, calm space to relax • Regular feeding times and fresh water • Enrichment toys, cozy bedding, and comfortable hangout spots • Supervised play and attention based on their personality • Respect for crate routines or safe spaces if they prefer them I keep their environment low-stress and easy to settle into. Overall Care Approach: No matter where your pet is staying, I treat them like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and the kind of care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel understood and well cared for.

About: I have experience volunteering with all kinds of animals and love them dearly! Back home, we have 4 family dogs which I've helped to train since they were just puppies. I love dogs of all ages and can't wait to treat your pup like family. I choose my own work and school schedule to ensure the most time spent with your pet! I am happy to provide potty breaks, extra feedings, or oral medications if necessary. I also would love to take your dog on walks! I have a dog, but she stays at home with her dog dad when I petsit. Safety is my top priority. I am careful to leave doors closed and locked, and to ensure harnesses are carefully put on to make sure your pup is secure.

About: Hi, I’m Lily! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for pups who need a little extra love during the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or some playtime, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own!🐶🐾🦴 I have open availability! If there’s ever a time you need me, I will be here to gladly help you out! I look forward to seeing you and your pups! My dogs are very dog friendly, they keep every new animals very welcomed at our house! I have a fenced in area as well if needed!

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds— including dogs, cats, and even exotic animals— I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every job. I understand that pets are family, not just animals, and I treat them with the same attentiveness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it’s daily care, special routines, or unique needs, I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m chronically self-employed because I love the flexibility it offers. I’m used to taking on a variety of jobs and adjusting to my client’s needs week to week. I will never take a job I can’t fully commit to, so you can rest assured I will give your pets my full attention when they’re on my schedule. Every pet has their quirks so it’s important to have fully transparent communication with my clients. I will always encourage a meeting with the clients and pets prior to the job starting, as I believe it’s best to get familiar with the pets and their home. I often request to visit at the time I’d normally visit while the client is away, because I want to see the walking/feeding/crating routine in its fullness. I ask a lot of questions and take notes to make sure we’re on the same page. I also request the clients to leave me their contact info, vet’s info, and an emergency contact’s info to make sure I can be prepared for any emergencies that may arise. I encourage clients to ask any questions they have, even if it seems silly. Likewise, if I have any questions, I will ask them instead of guessing. I often send pictures and updates throughout the stay. I stay off my phone as much as possible to be alert and cautious. I take care of your pets the way I’d want someone to take care of mine.

About: I love cats and dogs. I have had some training from college classes for veterinary assistance I have also volunteered at the cuba animal shelter. My availability is pretty open. I am a mom of three so there are days I wont be available. I will NOT be available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I will be available on mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays , also sometimes on the weekends. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of, play time, outdoors time, feed, bathed if needed. I always make sure have their basic necessities such as food and water. Play time is just a bonus for me and your animal. I love playing fetch with dogs and running around with them. Cats usually do their own thing, but when they want some love or to play I'm always up for it.

About: I’ve had pets since I was born! I specialize high energy dogs and in pets with anxiety and fear of storms! I am also trained in administration of meds to cats and dogs! I love all animals and love to play with them! I’m currently working part time at a coffee shop! I usually get off at a decent hour and I can always use my break to check on fur babies! I will care for pets by making sure they are content and happy! I will ensure that they have fresh water and food! I will also make sure they have a clean environment to be restful while their loved ones are away!

About: I’ve had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, rabbits, even birds! No matter the animal I’ve made sure they live a full and happy life as long as I can. I’m a college student on summer break so my schedule is very open! I do also have a part time job so that will cover some of my evenings. I would come to visit your pet in your home. Whether it’s a simple check on or taking them out on an adventure, I’d be sure to meet all of their needs.

“Autumn is amazing! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with my schedule. Bodhi was excited to meet her & really loved their walks together. I will certainly be reaching out to her next time I need some help!”

About: I have had dogs since I was very little. I have been put in charge of taking care and training the family pups since I was 12, so I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own. One is very energetic, and the other is a big couch potato. Because of the difference in energy levels, I have to be creative to make sure they're both happy and get good stimulation. One of my fur babies is a little on the anxious side, so I have some experience for the more reactive pups. I have experience giving oral medication to dogs as well as caring for elderly/injured doggos. I have had some experience with training my own family puppies; however I would love to receive guidance from the puppy(ie)'s owner as well. I have grown up around cats as well. I have always loved playing with them, giving them pets, or giving them their space (if that's what they prefer) I will make sure your buddies are comfortable and happy :) I am 22 and a student at Missouri S&T. I return to Rolla on Monday (Aug 1). I signed up on rover to make extra cash and also make new pet friends! I have a decent amount of time on my hands, and I love meeting new fur babies. I have time in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. I currently am not providing in home services. I live with my two dogs and 5 other family members. As of right now, we do not have the accommodations for another pet friend.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for all pets. I’m a devoted dog mom and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, which means I understand the different needs at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, gentle exercise, and even basic training for pups. I also bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to every pet I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work at a local daycare in Rolla Missouri and would like too also care for animals in my spare time I love pets In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space to relax, play, and explore, including a fully fenced yard for exercise. I provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention, making sure each pet feels loved and secure. For pets in their own homes, I follow the owner’s routine closely—feeding on schedule, administering any medications, and giving plenty of companionship and care. I always prioritize keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free, whether they’re with me or in the comfort of their own home.

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life. I grew up with St. Bernards and very clingy cats. Now that I have my own place I have 3 orange cats and one little senior dog who I love with all my heart! I hope I'm able to show your pets the same love and care I show my own. I currently work 3 days a week at my full time job so that gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets! I'm open to taking care of your pets at odd hours. I can do any management your pet may need including medicine handling, teeth cleaning, bathing, etc. I do this things regularly to accommodate my own senior pets. I also have a sweet little dog that would love to play with yours! She is very patient with shy pets and is very respectful.

About: I've taken care of all ages of dogs. I have provided training and care for dogs of all ages. Bathing, walking, training, general care. I have also worked professionally training and caring for dogs for the government. I am currently working part time. I am available anytime all week as long as there is notice. I go to the gym Monday to Friday but only for an hour or two a day. I live on a farm in the country. With two friendly dogs at home. For boarding I can either allow my dogs around yours or not, your preference.

About: I had my childhood dog since he was 8 weeks old and when he passed in 2021 I hesitated on getting another one. Until my fiancé and I decided to get a purebred European Doberman (which I have wanted since I was little). He is the best! I have trained him (with some help) in basic and intermediate obedience! Sit, down, wait (stay), take a break (potty), kennel, shake, and leash trained. I have always been a dog person and always will be! They are not just a best friend but apart of the family! I do work a regular 8-5 job Monday-Friday while also doing a separate part time job. I am more than happy to help when I can though! I am very educated on brain stimulation games for high energy dogs and great at getting lower energy dogs to get moving! I can read body language pretty well and can figure out what needs to be done next!

About: I was raised with lots of puppies and other animals. I have two fur babies now, Oakley and Remi! I would love to visit your babies and keep them company while you are away from them. I work full time but have a couple days off a week on a rotating schedule. I am willing to travel and make our schedules work together as best as possible. Leaving your pets is very difficult but I would love to be able to help ease your worries! I am responsible and trustworthy. You would not have to worry about the job not getting done.

About: I’ve always had cats or dogs in my life and wouldn’t have it any other way! My kitties crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 21 and 22 a few years ago and after the holidays my 11 yr old doxiepoo joined them. I’m still the proud dog mom of a 13 yr old jack russell/cattle dog mix and a 1 yr old mini mutt mix. My life is my furry kids and so I can’t imagine doing anything else but helping you care for your special furbaby or babies. I’m a personal shopper/delivery driver so my schedule is very flexible. Your furbabies come first, and I shop when I’m not caring for your animals..or mine! 🙂 I currently do not have a fenced in yard (work in progress) so anytime I let my dogs out they are always leashed. While inside they have free roam of the house but are separated when I leave. My older dog gets her peace and quiet in the back of our duplex, including her room. The youngster gets the living room and kitchen..easiest cleanup, just in case. :) Feel free to let me know if crating is preferred.
