Dog Walkers in Vinita Park, MO

“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!”

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.

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.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two college students, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. As a flexible part-time worker, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

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

“Taylor has been a fantastic support for me and the new pup. She is prompt and consistently arrives on time. She is also communicative and flexible. I appreciate her help when I can't be there for my 'kiddo.'”

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.

“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.”

“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.”

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!

“I am so grateful to Karen for taking care of my pup today! She handled his overexcitement like a pro and I came home to a calm, happy boy! ?”

“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. 😊”

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: Experience with all dogs of different ages and sizes. Also I have Worked at a few doggy daycares and was also a dog bather over the last couple years. With working in the doggy daycare field I have experience with administering medication if needed. As of now I am working a full time schedule so my services of walking and play sessions are only limited to my days off which are Sunday,Mondays and Tuesday. But with these 3 days my number one priority is making sure your pets get the most of they’re play sessions and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and environment. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, receive adequate exercise, have clean water, and get lots of companionship.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, but honestly, it started way before that with my childhood sidekick: a stubborn little Scottish Terrier who ran the house. Since then, I’ve had experience with all kinds of pups—zoomie machines, cuddle bugs, picky eaters, and even dramatic divas. Whether your dog wants a new best friend or just someone to toss treats on command, I’ve got them covered. Safe, fun, and belly-rub approved! My current availability is weekdays from 8:30 AM to 4 PM for Drop-ins and I’m available all day on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need throughout the week. Your dog will be in a calm, pet-free home with lots of love and supervision. I keep things safe, clean, and comfy, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or crate your dog if that’s what they’re used to. Their comfort and safety are always my top priority!

About: I have had and loved all kinds of animals my whole life! Dogs however have a special place in my heart! I have several years of experience taking care dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, breeds as well those with special medical conditions/medications. As a dog mama I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate take care of my pets. Our pets are our family and they should be cared for as such! I have been a stay in dog/home sitter for over 2 years now and am grateful to be trusted in such a capacity. I have experience with and am available to for longer term stays as well such as trips lasting a week or more. I am a stay at home mom at this time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am able to continue your pet’s existing routine For in home visits I will be sure to follow your pet’s routine and provide some extra loving since they will be missing you! Since my dog is not friendly with other dogs, I will be keeping everyone safe but not pet sitting in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends most of my life, but especially in the last 6 years. I’ve become the go-to person to care for friends’ pets and feel comfortable following detailed care instructions. My aim is to provide peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pet(s). My seasonal job allows me to spend all day with my pets and I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. That means long walks, lots of playtime, and reinforcement of their training. For cats, a routine is key and I love getting to see their personalities come out as I gain their trust. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the neighborhood and bringing him to nearby parks for a change of scenery.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since high school. I have house sat with animals as well as just dropped in to feed them and walk them. Family friends, relatives, and friends of friends have always trusted me to help out. I’m currently a graduate student looking for extra work taking care of your pets. Weekend sitting works best for me but depending on location I can do drop ins as well. I have an apartment with plenty of sidewalks nearby and plenty of green space around. I am warm and welcoming to all pets and want to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I currently have no other pets of my own.

About: I’ve had a dog (my Bestfriend) my whole life but she is unable to walk anymore. I want to relive those moments with other dogs while making other families happy and get away from the chaos in and delight of having a dog. I do have a summer job right now but I wanted to fill up my whole week so most my free days would be Sunday and Monday. I will be available some other days but it would have to be in the early mornings. I would prefer to do walking jobs or taking care of pets for a certain period of time in clients homes. I am in my parents home so it would best best if my services were done somewhere else.

“Jolene was a great dog walker, I would book her again!”
