Dog Walking in University City

“Audrey was amazing! She is super communicative and has been such a joy to work with. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for some extra care with their fur baby!”

About: I was raised on a farm where I cared for horses, cats, and dogs. I grew up showing Missouri Fox Trotting horses, and this grew my love for animals. In my free time, I love spending time with animals and have done petting for a three years in the St. Louis area. I am flexible and like to follow your pets' lead and their routine to make sure we both have the best experience possible. I have a variety of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from 5 months old to elderly. I am comfortable administering oral medications, walking, grooming, daily care, and whatever else your pets need throughout my stay. I will love them like my own! I am a PhD student and graduate assistant at Saint Louis University, and my schedule varies depending on the day. I can perform most of my work tasks from home and will communicate anytime I will be gone for more than 4 hours. When house sitting, I live my life in your home while taking care of your pets and adapt my routine to their needs. I always check for any conflicts before accepting a booking to make sure your pet I can best accommodate your pets' needs. I am happy give you insight into what my schedule looks like during your interested days to make sure this is works for the both of us. I am organized, clean, and observant. While at your home, your pet's care is my top priority. I always make sure to leave no trace whenever possible so you come home to a clean space. When house sitting, I send daily updates in the evening to summarize my day with your pets, including lots of pictures. If I notice any odd behaviors, I will always reach out to ask what is normal for your pet and keep you updated with any changes. When dropping in or going on a walk with the dog, I let you know which route we took and provide pictures and/or videos.

“Hope is amazing! She’s prompt, responsive, follows care instructions carefully, does extra things like bringing in mail (so thoughtful), and seems to truly care about my senior pup. Highly recommended!”

“Sarah went above and beyond and notified me of a leak in my kitchen when she came to walk my dog. Without her prompt attention the water would’ve continued flowing for several more hours!”

Sydney L.

“Alexa did great with Louie! She provided pics and gave me great updates which was really comforting!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life, and all of them have been rescue pups with very unique personalities and backgrounds. Because of this, I'm a patient and loving pet parent. I have taken care of senior dogs, and those with health challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with incontinence issues, and I've changed lots of doggie diapers (disposable and washable). Outside of my full-time job, I work as a volunteer & social media manager for a St. Louis-based dog rescue group. I work nearby, so I can take your pet outside for potty breaks as needed. I think it's important to have playtime as well, and we've got plenty of toys for your pup to play with! I have a fenced yard, with an additional dog-friendly area (with dog grass) in case of inclement weather. Does your pup wear potty pants or a belly band? No worries, they'll be cared for - just like I care for my own.

“Virginia is fantastic! She helped walk our two dogs daily for 2 weeks. She was great with our dogs, reliable and an excellent communicator. Her report cards offered helpful info about how the walks went and I trusted her to take good care of our fur babies. I highly recommend Virginia and will certainly be reaching out to her again next time we need help with our pups!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with a wide variety of animals, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight house sitting. I was a regular sitter on my neighborhood’s babysitting and pet-sitting list for years before moving to St. Louis last year. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure every pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on break from college at USC so I will have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“She was amazing and professional. She played with my dog and gave him alot of affection. She sent me photos and kept me updated. I will definitely book her again.”

Madison & Eric T.

“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my neighborhood over the years including overnight pet sitting for my friends. I have lots of experience from puppies to older dogs. This is my summer job so I am able to put all my time making sure your dogs get an enriching walks. I also have access to my own car. I’m a college student home for the summer so I have complete availability during the weekdays from morning to late night walks. I’m a night owl so perfect for any late night walks needed. I will follow direct instructions for what leash or harness to use. I will not go into your house unless there’s instructions to do so and I will be very respectful when entering/ dropping off your dogs!

“Kate has been so great from the start! I asked to meet without my pups first to explain my situation because one is reactive and she was more than willing to accommodate and hear me out. I would love to use her again in the future. 😊”

Kristin T.

“Naja was pleasant and Chaos was his usual self around her. She was open to me being an helicopter mom. XL furbabies can be very intimidating.”

Heather C.

“Our dog loves his daily walks! She is reliable and communicative. Highly recommend!”

About: My first word was “woof!” I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I absolutely adore animals. I’ve worked with big dogs, little dogs and puppies. I have been the main dog sitter in my neighborhood and for my family and friends for years. My dogs are my babies and you can absolutely trust me to give your baby the best time full of cuddles, playtime and walks! I go to college in Kansas so when I’m home for break(s) I will be free and more than happy to care for your pet! I will follow any and all instructions you have for your pup and be incredibly mindful of your home and of your dogs boundaries and surroundings.

About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own and previously had dogs, so I understand the unique needs, energy levels, and personalities of both. I offer dependable dog walks while you’re at work and attentive, loving care when you’re out of town. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and routine are my priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and consistent with pet care. Because of that, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and extended visits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve also worked remotely from clients’ homes in the past, so if your pet needs extra attention while you’re out of town, I can spend extended time there while still handling my work responsibilities. This flexibility allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine, exercise, and comfort without feeling rushed. At this time, I do not bring pets into my own home. All care is provided in my client’s home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your specific instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to minimize stress and make your time away as smooth as possible for both you and your pet.

About: I love animals and am doing this more as a hobby than to make money. I spent 3 summers working at a doggy daycare/boarding. I am the go to dog/cat sitter in my apartment complex, office, and with my friend group. I love to meet new furry friends! I have a very flexible weekly schedule with work. I usually make my own schedule. I work fully remote two days a week and am off by 3 on Fridays. No work and completely flexible Saturday and Sundays! I care for pets by following their established routines and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I believe it’s important to treat every pet as my own!!

“Kati was an amazing dog walker! she was very good with my dog (who is a difficult dog). My dog has significant reactivity towards other dogs on walks and she worked with him with dog treats to help with that. She also brought some of her own dog toys to help me when I first got my dog, and overall had many helpful tips for me! I would highly highly recommend!!”

About: Hi there! I am Jessica. I am in major dog withdrawals and I honestly just want to spend time with them playing, snuggling, and going for walks. I will care for them as if they are my own! I have all the patience in the world for dogs. Please let me know exactly what you want out of this agreement. I like to have a great deal of clairty from the beginning so that I am meeting and exceeding your expectations! I have owned and loved dogs as small as 8 pounds and as large as 95 pounds so I am used to all kinds of breeds! Please reach out and we have a conversation if you haven't already decided on me. :) I am working on my own schedule and miss getting out and about with an animal. I have a ton of flexibility and can work around any schedule. I will always act with you animal and in your home as if there's a hundred cameras on me. I have had strangers in my home to take care of my animals and I know what an uncomfortable feeling it can be if you don't yet have the comfort level and trust together put at ease. Let's fix that!
