Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.

Ross was wonderful. Frequent communication, pictures of the doggo living his best life, and excellent pet care. He confidently handled my reactive dog who is not easy to walk. My house was neat and clean upon return, honestly could barely tell he had been here! Would absolutely book again or recommend to anyone.

Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!

Marsha cared and entertained our exuberant 1 year 3 month old King Charles/ Irish Setter for 5 days. She noticed a stick he had chewed got caught in the roof of his mouth and removed it quickly. She took charge quickly and communicated about Murphy’ care daily and reassured us with short videos. Our cat also benefitted from her expert care. I heartily recommend Marsha for house sitting and am grateful she watched over Murphy and our cat Chase. Thank you, Marsha.

Asia did a great job caring for my fur babies! She did great with applying ointment and giving extra care to my dog while she was in a cone (a last-minute change after our meet and greet 🥴). She kept me updated with daily photos. Thanks, Asia!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.

About: I’m an attentive, deeply responsible pet sitter with a warm heart and a professional approach to care. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a child, loving and caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. I’m always open to learning and training because your peace of mind matters to me. My background in a detail-driven healthcare field means I value precision, safety, and following care plans exactly as written. Whether your pet has two legs, four, or more, I treat them with the same care and respect I give to my own family members. I’ll treat your pet like my own and give them the attention, comfort, and best care they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently working part-time and have flexibility over my schedule. I can build in extra time for daily walks, feeding, play sessions, and care plan tasks without rushing. This means I’m able to stay consistent, be present with your pet, and adjust my day as needed to match their routine and comfort. I care for pets in your home since my place doesn’t allow pets indoors. I’ve been around animals all my life, and like many pet owners, I’ve learned to recognize their cues and patterns simply from growing up with them. It may take a little time to learn your pet’s quirks, but I enjoy that process and find it fun to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. The level of care I provide matches your pet’s specific needs. If you just need walks or drop-in visits, I’m happy with that. If your pet needs medication, special feeding, or other care tasks, I’m comfortable handling those too. I’m ready to rise to the level your pet needs and will follow your care plan exactly.

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Megan. This was the very first time I had ever left my pets, and I was extremely anxious about being away from them. From the moment we booked, she made me feel completely comfortable, and from the moment we started our trip, I genuinely didn’t worry about them at all. Her communication was absolutely incredible. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages throughout our entire trip, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cared about our pets. She went above and beyond in every possible way. One of my cats is extremely nervous around people and typically hides whenever anyone comes over. Not only did she get him to come out from under the couch, but she also got him to eat and even helped him become comfortable enough to spend time around her, which honestly amazed me. She was also incredible with our dogs. She got them to play with toys they’ve never shown interest in before and even taught them how to play fetch! I had been very worried because one of my dogs can be protective of toys and bones, but she handled everything so thoughtfully and professionally, and there were absolutely no issues. When one of my dogs, Juniper, wasn’t eating her usual food, she took the initiative to go to the pet store and buy a different flavor that she thought Juniper might like—and it worked. That level of care and attention meant so much to us. As if all of that wasn’t enough, when we returned home, she surprised us with beautifully printed and framed photos of our pets from their time together. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. She treated our pets like they were her own, and I truly cannot imagine a better experience. If you’re considering booking with her, do it. She is kind, attentive, communicative, knowledgeable, and genuinely exceptional. We feel so lucky to have found her, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.

Laura is simply the best. She stayed with my weird little dog for a week and did a spectacular job. It's the second time she sat for me in my expectations were fulfilled. She left my house tidier than before. She always goes above and beyond. You won't be disappointed if you go with Laura. I highly recommend.

Can't possibly say enough positives about Porter. Been traveling 40 + years with in-home sitters and no one has come close, to him. He loves what he does. And oh my, how my dogs love him. They sleep in bed with him. That is their routine. He followed precisely every direction that I left him. He also cleaned my house and it looks better than it did when I left. I only wish we had found him sooner. He is a stellar man as well and did the very best job. We are so happy to have found him.

A superstar! Tiffanie was amazing in every aspect of caring for our family pet during our weeklong vacation in Europe. She sent lots of photos and updates. Our pet is so playful and wants us to toss his toys way more to a before we left - our dog whispered that he wants to see Tiffanie soon! It was a relief to be away and know that he was being taken care of by a caring and adult pet sitter!
