“Strong, compassionate walker”
My name is Sarah. I'm a young professional with a profound love of dogs. I've been dog sitting for friends, coworkers, and people in the St Louis area for about 3 years now, and I volunteer at a local animal shelter as a dog walker. I’ve met some truly amazing dogs during that time and I look forward to meeting yours.

“A walk is always better with a fur baby or 2 or 3.”
I have always had a dog in my life. I love taking the 2 I have for walks but I also like to get extra walking time in for my own exercise and it is always more fun to have a fur baby with you on the adventure.

“Less like dog whisperer, more like genuine spirit!”
I was the sole caretaker with my huge Golden Retriever, Oliver, walking him every day, working on training, and even wrangling him in the bathtub! Now that I have my own thriving doggy business since Jan 2019, my besties and I are never bored again! Days I'm available, I'd absolutely cherish time with yours! I feel so blessed that dogs of all breeds and sizes feel immediately comfortable in my presence, and out of the 500+ walks I've taken for Wag, only 1 time was I unable to gain a pup's trust!

“Fur babies are the best!!”
I love animals and have always been around them. I grew up with dogs, cats, snakes, horses and small pets. I currently have a spoiled 7 year old pitbull named Rio that I have raised from a puppy and I also have a 1 year old Rottweiler named Loki. Dogs are a true best friend.

“Understanding”
I have always loved animals. I do not have a favorite pet. I actually found the love of animals from bringing in strays as a child and going through various training for Veterinary Ass/Tech positions. I really can't wait to provide an essential need for your pet. I have my own critters so I understand how important their care is to an owner/ pet parent.

Dog Walking in Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury benefits from the amenities of St. Louis County and St. Louis proper because it straddles the boundaries of both. The great drainage ditch in St. Louis, called the River Des Peres, extends on its northeastern border and runs the line between the two. Shrewsbury is a short 2.4 miles from the River Des Peres Park. This St. Louis park has a series of landscaped spaces and paved walkways for a person and a leashed pup to take advantage of. The picturesque bridges across the sometimes less than beautiful River Des Peres make for an interesting contrast.
Shrewsbury has its own 32-acre city park called Wehner Park. This park has expansive grassy fields where the local community plays soccer during the season, and which welcome leashed dogs year-round. Sidewalks surround this park, and there is ample parking. The pavilion is a local favorite place for gatherings of all types. Wehner Park is never without furry pals on leashes enjoying the outdoors with their human companions. Water is turned on for most of the year, so you just need to bring doggie waste bags along.
Shrewsbury’s other three city parks (Ackfeld, Brinktop, Hartry) are under ten acres, but still give dogs and their person a respite from daily living and a chance for some outdoor green space. What could be better than sitting under an old oak tree with your best four-legged friend? One of Shrewsbury’s semi-urban oases can do that for you and your pup.
