Dog Sitting Ballwin

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.

“Beth took great care of our dog while we were gone! She sent pics and updates. Beth was very responsive to any messages I sent her and our dog was not stressed out at all. I highly recommend and I know we will be using Beth again!”

“Perri is the best! Our experience was so great. She took a lot of care in doing a sitting with our extremely shy and nervous two-year-old pointer mix. She knows dogs, asked the right questions, and we trusted her. Not only that, she’s super friendly and interesting as a person. Would totally recommend.”

“Diane is awesome! I have an English Golden Retriever who loves everyone and a Border Collie mix that is timid around people and doesn't like other dogs. Diane has a soft, caring voice. She's been gradually earning Penelopes trust coming weekly in order to prepare for a long vacation where she will be staying at our home. She loves on my fur kids, gives them treats, back scratches, goes outside with them. I feel very comfortable that she'll do a great job taking care of our 2 fur kids while we're on vacation. I highly recommend her for all your pets needs!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been personally responsible for my own dogs for the past 14 years. I currently have three dogs at home and have experience with everything from small breeds to large dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs with medical and senior-care needs. One of my dogs developed Addison’s disease at a young age and later battled cancer, so I became very comfortable with administering injections and medications, managing chronic health needs, and caring for a dog through chemotherapy, arthritis and mobility changes. As he got older, we adapted his routine so he could still enjoy walks and activities safely and comfortably. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, especially when they have special needs. I’m patient, attentive and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means a morning walk, some midday company, or extra love while you’re away. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available! I know how much trust it takes to leave a member of your family and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, your instructions, and any house rules closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs and will never force an interaction or put your pet in an uncomfortable situation. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and am always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your family member is in good hands.

“Lindsay did an amazing job with everything and was the best type of person to take care of your pets. I would recommend 100 percent to anyone needing a pet sitter or walker!”

“Mason was so great with Balto! He took lots of pictures, was super communicative & even did a meet & greet beforehand. Thank you so much, Mason!”

Taylor N.

“Cleo was fantastic with Lumi! She was reliable, communicative and sent us great updates and plenty of photos after every visit. She made sure Lumi got her walks and potty breaks, had fresh water and food, and spent extra time playing with her and giving her some attention and cuddles. It gave us a lot of peace of mind being away knowing Lumi was comfortable and well cared for. Cleo clearly took the time to actually engage with her rather than just stopping by to check the boxes. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.

About: I've spent a career in hotel hospality and will bring enthusiasm, patience, professionalism and love to every interaction. I'm considered "the dog whisperer" at the dog park and currently walk a few dogs in my neighborhood for those who simply physically cannot. Acts of service bring me joy, thus pet and pet parents top the list. I'm a full-time father of a thirteen year-old daughter. If I'm not transporting her to and from school, I'm available. My weekends and Holidays are open. I have a field next door and wonderful neighborhoods with walking trails right outside my door. I have a small very sweet husky mix that can be crated if needed

About: Ive been an emergency vet tech and helping hand for 6+ years. Ive had animals my entire life & adore them so much I made a living off keeping them safe & healthy.

My yard is fenced in, my animals are very friendly, my teenage son loves animals & hopes to follow in mom's footsteps in vet med.

“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. She was easy to communicate with, arrived on time and followed the instructions that I provided. I have marked her as one of my favorites in Rover.”

“Anusha is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough - I will be coming back for sure. She went above and beyond caring for our puppy. I’m grateful!!”

“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”

“Susan took such great care of my little fur baby while I was away for the holidays. She kept me updated with her visits and I knew my little Kiwi was in a great, loving hands while I was gone. I highly recommend Susan if you want someone who truly loves dogs and who'll care for them like they're her own. I will be using Susan to car for my fur baby whenever I need to travel.”

About: As a pet owner and lover, I approach pet care and handling with a Fear Free mentality! I am always listening to your pet (through body language and other animal behavioral cues) to make sure they are comfortable and happy during their stay with us! With my experience in pet care and dog sitting, I am able to make any adjustments needed to help your pet have a stress-free stay away from home! Being self-employed, I am home for the majority of every day, all day, allowing me to provide quality time with your pup! This includes adhering to a strict potty schedule or snuggling those who may have separation anxiety. Being at home also allows me to get to know your pet better as well as keep it mentally engaged and stimulated throughout the day. My home is the perfect place for almost any pup! Outside I have a six-foot-high wood fenced in the back yard, in a low traffic, quiet neighborhood. Inside we have multiple areas for pups to feel at home, including large beds, dog-friendly furniture, and steps for dogs who may need it. I also have sectioned of spaces (with secure baby gates) for eating or alone time (if needed). Your pup can join Casey and I on our daily walk (small, medium or large routes) and additional walks can be added if that fits into your pet's routine. I am self-employed so my week is centered around your pets needs and preferences! I have the flexibility to help stick to a strick schedule or care for an anxious pet! I treat your pet as they are my own. They are the center of attention! Their safety, needs, wants and preferences are top priority. In my home, pets are accomodated to in whatever way needed.
