“I can’t say enough great things about Tami. I knew I’d be gone for most of the day and she took excellent care of my high energy border collie/lab, Bella. She sent pics of her playing with another dog which was awesome. I will definitely call her again for all my fur babysitting needs.”

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 from home mostly, so I can take your pet outside for potty breaks as often 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, but I'm always present for potty breaks and playtime. My girls are pretty small, so I'm always around for them - and I'll do the same for your furry friend!
“Danielle took great care of Saphina and Ellis. They always came home exhausted from playing with all the dogs and were excited to go back the next day. Lots of picutures and videos were sent throughout the day so I knew that they both were having a great day while I was at work”

“Rachael and Joe are wonderful! At our meet and greet they introduced our dog slowly to the pack. Rachael is very focused on the dogs' comfort and safety, and very knowledgeable about canine behaviors and needs.. After the daycare session our guy was relaxed and happy! We'll definitely be booking more doggy daycare dates!”

“Leah took amazing care of my dog on such short notice! She was reliable, kind, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup with her. If I’m ever back in the area and need help, I’d definitely go back to her!”

About: I’m not just a pet sitter, I’m a tail wagging, paw high fiving adventure partner for your furry friend. With 1 year of hands on experience, I’ve learned that every pet has their own quirks, moods, and favorite games, and I pride myself on adapting to them like a furry whisperer. Whether it’s turning a simple walk into a mini adventure, finding the perfect treat to earn trust, or giving extra cuddles when needed, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and celebrated every single day. Your pet isn’t just cared for they’re cherished. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I dedicate time to walking, feeding, and playing with pets, making sure they get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. I also schedule quiet, calm time for cuddles or rest, depending on each pet’s needs. On a weekly basis, I plan longer walks, play sessions, and grooming or care tasks to ensure pets stay healthy, happy, and engaged. I prioritize creating a routine that pets can rely on, so they feel secure while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet care situation. In my home, pets have a clean, secure space to play, rest, and explore, with supervised access to both indoor and outdoor areas. I follow each pet’s specific routines, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect, follow all instructions carefully, and maintain a calm, secure environment so pets feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to create a trusting, positive experience for both pets and their owners.
About: Hands on care, including feeding, walking, and administering meds, while emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I proactively plan and can adjust to your schedule to accommodate owner or dogs needs. I have an extremely friendly dog that thinks all dogs want to be his best friend. I’m flexible to any needs your fur baby might need throughout their stay!
“A very smooth day from beginning to end. Shannon provides great communication, an easy to get to location, and great care for the pups. Harpo didn't want to leave!”


About: I am a very responsible dog owner. I have a 5 year old Border Collie named Abby. She loves herding & long walks. I have had over 20 years experience taking care of my own and others pets. I work from home so am available throughout the week Monday - Sunday, my schedule is flexible so I'm able to help out just about anytime. Abby & I enjoy running, walking around the neighborhood and going to our nearest dog park which is 2 blocks away. I have experience taking care of older dogs, a blind dog, and smaller dogs, so I can adapt to whatever needs your dog may have. I would love to get to know you and your furbaby. They will be treated like my own.
“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”


“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”

“Our puppy loved Quia immediately! She is so sweet and was completely attentive to our dog’s special needs! Super flexible, super communicative, I would trust her any day, with any pet! A+++++ experience! Thank you, Quia!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, I have my own dog that I love and take care of. I enjoy pets a lot. I am currently not working right focusing on school, and I am available anytime to play or take care of your dogs for boarding anytime. I have a fenced in yard, a nice basement area where I will stay with your dog or cat, and I can keep your dog crated as well if need to be.
“I am very pleased Truess met us at the door greeted us with a well warm welcome we chatted for a minute she sent me pictures throughout the day telling me how Sasha was doing. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely see her again soon. Thank you so much for caring for our baby.”

“I was scared to leave my Jasmine with someone new. Christina made me feel at ease soon as I meet her with her warm smile and jasmine didn’t bark not one time meeting her (that made me feel so good). Christina made sure I got pics the entire day and in plenty of them Jasmine was smiling and playing with other dogs as well. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend and I will definitely be rebooking!!!!!”

About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).
