Dog Walking Wood River

“Awesome experience. Sabrina is absolutely amazing.”

Mary Ann H.

About: My whole life I've wanted to work with animals. Currently I’m a vet tech, I went to school for 2 years for it. I love all animals so dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets, and reptiles are all exceptional for me to take care of! I've owned dogs, reptiles, and right now have a cat and a dog of my own. Whether it's a check in on your pet while you're at work, or a walk at the park, I can help! Thank you for considering me. <3 Like stated before I a full time vet tech but I do have certain days of the week off to care for your pets! Take a peak at my calendar to see my availability. If you’re local to me some of my ‘unavailable days’ can still work if you are ok with late evening check ins. You can always reach out to me too if you need more details. I’ll do drop ins and check on your fur babies for as long as you need. If they need someone energy out, I can play with them, if they’re senior pets, I would love to just sit with them and help with any medical concerns needed. If it’s a walk we can go wherever they normally enjoy walking to.

About: Lifelong lover of all animals. I have a masters degree in wildlife biology and work as a Park Ranger. This is the first time in my life I haven’t had a dog and/or cat of my own and missing all the joy they bring. It would be an honor if you trusted me with yours. Open to moving at their pace and your preference, whether that’s a senior dog that just wants a lap in the park or a puppy who’d like to go for a hike. Would consider boarding after meeting pets and ensuring everyone (human and animal) is comfortable. I work full time, but have every Thursday-Saturday. I’m available most days after 5pm. Flexible to meet the needs of you and your pet! Safe, healthy, happy pets and people is my priority. I understand how pets are members of a family and currently have two very spoiled rabbits in my home.

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! And cats more recently (within the last 4ish years). I always had dogs growing up and have pet-sit since I was around 14! Can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I’m a student and I work part-time. But I will definitely make time for your fur-babies! I will most likely take care of them in after classes, or before and after work shifts! I have plenty experience in informally training dogs, spending time with animals, and feeding and playing with them! I will work together with you to take care of your pet with whatever plan you decide!

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.

About: I grew up on a farm with many various animals, tending to their needs all year round. We also raised Great Pyreneese, and I trained my dog in 4-H! I'm currently in nursing school, so I have time around classes during the week. Monday and Wednesday, I am available until 12 and after 2:45. Tuesday and Thursday, I am free before 11 and after 12:15! My schedule does differ so feel free to reach out! In your home, I follow your routines, secure doors and gates, double-check leashes, monitor constantly, and keep your pup calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for my entire life. I was expected to walk, feed, bathe, and take care of my pets at home since I was 10. I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for about 3 years now. I am a full-time college student so I plan to work part-time so that I can focus on my studies. Although I am open to full-time if needed. I am available to take your pet out for walks and feed them as many times you need. I typically walk my dog Ellie around 3-4 times a day and feed her in the morning and evenings.

About: I have been caring for a Maltese since I was 10 years old. I am 21 now and I live away from home. Dogs bring me joy and I have a lot of time on my hands so I look forward to the experience. I do not work so I spend a lot of time at home and you can trust that your dog will be in good and attentive care when they are with me.Also I went through training programs with my own dog; I am not a certified trainer but I know basic obedience training such as sit and lay down. I enjoy walking and exercise so 30 minute walks will not be an issue and overnight stays are welcome I enjoy animals.

About: With a nurturing touch and an innate ability to quickly bond with animals, I provide exceptional pet care by treating them as cherished family members. Specializing in both puppy training and senior care, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Drawing from my experience of owning multiple dogs since the age of 12, I understand the unique needs and dynamics of canine companionship. After completing my morning workouts, basketball training, and studies, I have plenty of free time throughout the day. I find solace in spending time with pets during these moments of relaxation. It's a genuine joy for me, and I'm always available to make new furry friends whenever the opportunity arises. I create a safe and cozy environment for pets, whether it's at my place or yours. I make sure there are no dangers around and follow your instructions closely. Your furry friend will get all the care they need, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and cats since high school! Dogs tend to love me as do babies! I’m the go to pet whisperer with friends and family and look forward to getting to know yours! I live near Highland but work at SIUE in Edwardsville so am available anywhere in between! I’m an early riser and a night owl so I can be available at both extremes! I cannot host dogs in my home but would love to walk, throw a ball, give all the pets, or take yours to a local dog park!

“This Chic is amazing as always! I would trust her with my dogs life!! And that speaks volumes as long as she’s available’ I will continue to book her! My fur baby loves her already!! 10 stars!!!!!”

About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

About: I genuinely, whole heartedly love animals. Have worked with animals (grooming, walking, feeding) since 15, work with young & senior also give meds & arthritis massages. Patient, kind, loving and ready to spread my love for animals. Have worked at Kennelwood, No Leash needed, Camp Bow Wow and volunteer at the humane society. All animals deserve love. I’m available to house sit or pop in for walks, I start my new job 8-4 M-F so available anytime to house sit during the week & weekend would just be out during that time if house sitting. I love to go for walks and play so your baby will definitely be stimulated with me around! If you have toys or treats I will keep them entertained and work with whatever training goals you have for them. If a tail isn’t wagging it’s my goal to get it to!

About: My name is pronounced like Taya. I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my six pets (two dogs and four cats). I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.

“Kyani was excellent. Extremely responsive and responsible with our dogs. She was super easy to work with and even helped arrange taking our dogs to boarding at my request. I will absolutely rebook with her next time I need pet care. Very personable and obviously a dog lover.”

It is my priority to keep your pet safe and have a positive experience whether it is during daily walks or weekend stays. I have traveled the country and internationally several times for competitions in agility. It adds a level of precision, caution and care to make sure everything is in place and the pet arrives safely. I hope I can make a positive impact in your pets life! I am a recent graduate of Saint Louis University and just started my career in radiology at Saint Louis Children’s Hospital. I am currently shifting between overnights and day shifts, but would love to meet your pet in between! In a clients home it is important to establish a trust as it is their private space. Being able to take care of their pet it is important to treat a clients space with respect and care as well. I hope that there is never concern when I pick up or drop off for care.
