Dog Walkers in Valley Park, MO

“We felt immediately comfortable with Barbara when meeting for the first time. Her experience with and love of dogs was evident when meeting Cooper and Zachary. I love the Rover alerts when she came to walk Coop and the photo. I just felt at ease and grateful we had her to care for our boy. Will hope to be able to book her whenever we go away!”

“This is the second time I’ve hired Amber for dog walking and just like the previous time, she did a great job, She’s very skilled with my senior dog and her visits are usually the highlight of my dog’s day. She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”

“Cynthia was amazing- she went above and beyond the call of duty. It’s obvious that she loves animals. It stormed all weekend while we were gone, but she was very careful to make sure that our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Cynthia.”

“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”

About: My family has always had at least 2 dogs (various breeds and sizes) in my house my entire life. In high school I started working with family, friends, and neighbors to help them take care of their pets. Recently I have 2 years of solo full time experience caring for a senior dog giving me confidence to work with any age! My schedule is extremely flexible for frequent walks and/or house sitting. I love all dogs, but I am allergic to cats and unfortunately I am unable to assist homes with them. Every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routines, I am willing to accommodate and work with you to ensure a consistent routine for your pet even when you’re away! I live near grass and many parks and am willing to drive places as well!

About: My family have always been dog people so I've grown up walking, feeding, and taking care of dogs my entire life. I regularly dog (and cat) sit for friends from college and church. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible excluding Monday & Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Down for morning/midday/evening walks and feeding or overnight stays. I cannot currently board/crate other dogs due to my 2 bundles of fur, Angus and Max, but am able to offer walking, feeding, and overnights.

“Kate did a fabulous job walking/watching Lilly!! She was caring and attentive!!! will be using her again!!!”

About: I have extensive pet care experience, offering customized walks and attentive care for all dogs, from energetic puppies to senior companions, ensuring their happiness and safety. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I schedule ample time for walks, feeding, play, and cuddles, ensuring every pet feels loved and valued. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine to ensure comfort and reduce stress. I offer personalized care, including playtime, feeding, walks, and cuddles, all tailored to meet each pet's needs. I make sure to keep their environment safe, clean, and full of love, while offering regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I have had and taken care of pets my entire life. Everything from dogs and cats and fish, all the way to ferrets! I now though, have 5 years (and counting) of professional experience in the dog world, 3 of those years also I including providing care to cats as well as birds, lizards, guinea pigs and more! I worked at a Daycare, Boarding and Training facility for dogs for those first 2 years, and it helped me grow my skills exponentially! It's also allowed me to really strengthen my understanding of dogs, their behavior, body language and how to help them be successful and happy in their day to day lives. My following 3 years was with an in-home pet care company where I provided more individualized care and expanded my skill set with medications, senior care and special needs. I saw and worked with the whole spectrum of ages, breeds and temperaments. I have experience with administering oral, topical, injectable and inhaler medications, basic grooming services and working through anxious behaviors. I also have a very special soft spot for the high energy breeds! I am very flexible, dedicated, caring and I understand the importance of communication. My weekday schedule is typically fairly open and flexible from early morning to late evening pending other services booked, weekends tend to be busier so the earlier notice the better! I treat every pet I meet as if they were my own, keeping their safety and well being the first priority! Your home is their safe space, so that means making sure it is always secure and comfortable.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting on and off for 15 years. Animals are my joy and giving them love, care and attention is the greatest job and honor I can have. I help train your animal basic commands. Also I reinforce any training you are personally doing with your fur baby. I am fit and I long to go for walks, runs and or hikes with your dogs (1-3 at a time). I have a lot of available time to spend loving and caring for your animal and their specific needs. Also brushing cats and dogs is health for them and I love it. I am flexible with location and duration of stay with your fur babies at your home. I am flexible with their needs and yours. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies. Thank you and blessings to you and your family. Pet care and house sitting work very well into my flexible schedule and I adore fury babies. I do work 30 hours a week, off at noon on fridays and off weekends. Also have a 3 hour lunch each day. I care for pets in their homes, exactly the way their parents care for them. I keep their schedules the same and love them and meet all their needs.

About: I have been a rescue dog owner for over twenty years and for the last two years I have fostered dogs for a local shelter. I have cared for unsocialized senior dogs, puppies, high energy dogs and disabled dogs. I have an established routine in the morning for feeding and potty time as well as evening feeding (as applicable to your pets schedule) and potty time. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can care for your pet in my home or yours. I can reinforce crate training for those pups who may need this. If your pup is used to cuddling on the couch or sleeping with their human I can provide that routine as well.

About: Charismatic and outgoing animal lover with 16 years experience owning pets, and hundreds of hours volunteering at the humane society in 3 different states. I grew up with cats, but could not own a dog until I moved out on my own, so I quickly got my first baby Alice the first chance I could. My fur babies include a 13 year old sweet beagle mix, Alice 🌈 and two gentle loving cats, Poppy and Millie. All of my animals have been around other animals their whole lives and get along with all creatures. I prefer not to board cats, but can keep your cat in a closed bedroom for their stay. I would love to open my doors to help out families in need of a more personal way to board their pets when they are away. Your animals must get along with cats and small children. I have a very flexible schedule so I have the ability to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on your pets individuals needs. My pets have free range of the house. Visitors dogs can be crated if needed or have free range of the house if ok left unsupervised.

“Shalini did a great job with walking our dog while I was out of town! Appreciated her communication and how thoroughly she prepared to ensure both she and our dog would be comfortable.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 and have always had animals in the house ever since I was young. I’ve been around a good chunk of different dog/cat breeds. Almost all of my family members has or had pets that I’ve been around and/or taken care of. My stepmom always had foster dogs every so often that my siblings and I would help take care of. I’m 100% and dog lover, but my mom grew an addiction to sphynx and got one 6 years ago and the other 3 years ago. My love for cats has grown ever since then. I treat animals like they’re my own and I don’t tolerate any disobedience given to them. I consider animals just like humans and have respect for them. A fun thing about me is that I strive to have my own dachshund one day!! I’m currently working part time on TUES/THURS and in school on MWF. Available before 4pm on work days and after 2pm on school days. As of now, fully available on weekends. Not able to have pets at my apartment. Am flexible with stopping by to give food, water, and let out. Can be flexible if pets need to be watched for a short period of time.

About: I can’t wait to meet your precious pet! I’ve loved on dogs and cats my whole life . I’ve always had pets of my own and I will give the best care and love to your fur baby while you’re away! Our pets are part of our family and that’s the way they should be, and will be treated 😊 I have a flexible job so I’m able to drop in to let your pet out or take them for a walk. If you would like me to come stay at your home, I will need to bring my dog along with me so a meet ‘n greet is essential. He’s a sweet boy and gets along well with other dogs. I am familiar with plenty of places to walk and there are so many nearby parks for them to explore! Long or short walk, I love them all!

“Of course humans weren’t there but but we texted, saw picture and a video and felt that Sophie was in extremely competent hands! 5 Stars for you Elizabeth!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 14; Dogs, cats, horses, you name it! In recent years, I have pet sat (Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even a bearded dragon!) for 5 different families with regularity, relying on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I took some time off to focus on my full-time job but now I am back to take care of your fur babies! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, and love to learn about each pets needs, quirks, and their favorite spot to be pet! I work as a student nurse tech and a phlebotomist PRN (whenever I pick up shifts, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible) currently and my shifts are 4 to 8 hours long. I am in nursing school, and I go to class Tuesday and Thursday from 12pm to 3:30pm and Wednesday clinical 6:30am to 3:30pm. If you need a quick walk or drop in visit in the early mornings, mid day, and early evening, I'm your gal! If you need a quick drop in while you are at work or running errands, I'm your gal as well! I do not mind late night drop ins or walks as well, I am pretty flexible for walks and drop ins throughout the day if I’m not working at the hospital or studying at school. I love to walk parks and hike through trails, and your dog can come along for the ride anytime!! I am always very respectful of boundaries and client's homes. I will care for your pets just as you would, providing them with as much attention and love they desire! I am always respectful of your pets boundaries as well, and will never put them in a stressful situation. I currently live in an apartment that only allows cats, and I have one kitty cat named Booker. I am a nursing student and I study quite a bit. If your pet needs a person who can chill and keep them company, I can 100% provide that! If your pet needs someone to play and run around with, I can 100% provide that as well! If your pet has medical administration needs, I have experience with this as well. One family that I pet sat regularly for had a kitty who needed insulin via injection two times a day, another had a pupper that needed two pills at morning and evening feedings. I am always punctual with medicine times and I follow instructions very closely.

About: I've had several dogs over the years from an 11 lbs. Schnoodle to an 80 lbs. GSP to an adopted 50lb. mix of many breeds (now at college with my daughter!) I don’t currently have any dogs, but I love them and look forward to meeting your furry friend, whatever breed or size! I’m currently working mostly from home with a very flexible schedule. I get up around 6AM in the morning and stay up until about 10PM. I’d love to get my steps in by taking your pet for a walk! I have a screened in back deck and also a fenced in area below that is shaded. Your pet can find the perfect place to relax and enjoy, weather pending!
