About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16, helping friends and family as well as independently caring for up to three dogs at a time. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable adjusting to dogs energy levels and needs. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, including my own hamster. I currently have a dog of my own, so I am very familiar with daily routines, behavior, and the responsibilities that come with pet care. I am happy to send updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very open right now, so I am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I prioritize keeping pets safe and comfortable when caring for them in a client’s home. I follow instructions carefully, maintain a clean and calm environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior.

Pamela was great! She was responsive via text and left the house in perfect shape. We felt reassured knowing our pups were in good hands while we were away for a whole week!

Draven was great with our pups. They were not nearly so clingy when we got back as they normally are. I could tell they were loved on plenty. The house was in great shape.

Mary was fantastic! Our dog, Ella, got plenty of walks and play. Our home was well kept, mail was stacked neatly on the counter and we came home to a calm, happy dog. We would definitely use Mary again!

About: I’m 69 years old, and have had dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, ducks, hamsters, bearded dragons and a gecko for pets as well as fish! I can provide several references from people I have cared for their pets. I love all animals. I do work part time 9-1:30 M-F but will be able to take care of your pet before work and then after and through the night. I’m very trust worthy and would love the opportunity to care for your pets I’m currently working part time and would have plenty of time to care for your pet before and after work. I’m also available to spend the nights when needed. I provide in your home sitting only. I feel keeping your pet in their home in their familiar surroundings is much less stressful on them. I will provide as much love and cuddles as they will allow. My typical day during the week would consist of me getting up early enough to let your pet out to potty, feed and water them and play a little while. Then I would go to work till 12:30/1:30, go back to your house and repeat the morning routine unless your pet does not eat again in the afternoon, play and cuddle as much as your pet wants. If your pet sleeps with you, they are more than welcome to sleep with me too.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My family frequently took in rescue pitbulls, so from a young age I learned how to train even the most stubborn animals. I began pet sitting for family/friends as a teenager. Many of the animals I took care of during this time were seniors, so I got quite a bit of experience in senior dog care. During college, I brought home a very energetic and very stubborn Cane Corso. I hired a professional trainer and learned many important tips on top of my already existing knowledge about dog training, which came in handy when I got a second corso. Throughout my life I’ve gained experience training puppies, taking care of senior pets, and caring for pets with diabetes and other chronic conditions. I’m currently PRN at my other job, so I can work my other job completely around the needs of your pet and what they’ll need while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two bigger pups that are incredibly friendly and love having new dogs to play with. I also have a two year old daughter who is obsessed with animals, so needless to say your pet will not be spared any attention while in our home. Even if you’re not looking to board your pup, I have full availability to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own environment, and am willing to stop by as often as needed to make sure your pup gets all the care and attention needed while you’re away.

Emma arrived promptly for the meet and greet as well as the day her services were scheduled. Our furbabies really liked Emma. Zula can be very territorial and bark a lot if she feels unsafe or unsure, but she didn’t bark at Emma. Emma took her time getting to know both Bear and Zula and wore them out playing with them outside. Emma did have some personal things come up during her stay, but she stayed in constant communication and made sure the dogs were let out and fed. We will book her services again!

Jasmine was an incredible sitter for my baby boy Xander-he truly means everything to me, so trusting someone with his care is a big deal. She paid close attention to every detail and was extremely attentive to all of his needs. I was out of town for 7 days, and Jasmine consistently sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone who has a fur baby they love and want in the best hands!

Cameron watched our two dogs and our house for two weeks while we were on vacation. I honestly dont think we would have had better or more attentive service from a close friend or even a family member. Cameron was on time, every time. Left the house just as spotless as it was when we left, and the dogs loved having his company. The daily messages and pup-photos were proof of that. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets and/or your home, just stop looking and contact Cameron.

About: Residing on a farm with open running space or enclosed electrical fencing for outside time, animals are sure to love their farm life experience. My husband and I have trained our own dogs to respond to basic commands: sit, shake, stay, come, and no. We have around 600 birds (chickens, guineas, ducks), 10 goats, and 2 Great Pyrenees girls (unaltered) that predominately reside outside. We also have 5 cats that are indoor outdoor and every other week our 16 and 10 y.o. boys are here to provide extra attention to animals visiting. We have also cared for animals at the end of life phase, moving at a slower pace and needing that extra assistance to get around. I currently work an 8 hour shift commuting to STL Monday-Friday. I work for the MO Army National Guard full-time, to include one weekend a month. My Husband’s full time job is taking care of the farm. He is predominately on farm, or not too far out if he is away. Caring for additional animals will fit like a glove into the animal schedule we currently operate on any given day. Caring for our own pets consist of daily feedings. There is always dry food out for all animals. The dogs and cats get wet food once a day, typically in the evening. The cats get attention when they want it. The dogs get released out of the fence a couple times a week to run the land under human supervision. They will also be let inside for short periods of time as we work on training them with inside manners, not to mention, one of the girls is terrified of thunder storms. Our animals are pampered with treats, attention, and full on conversations. They are more than animals around here, they’re family!

Maddie was incredible with our dog Molly while we were gone on vacation. She exceeded my expectations which is hard to do because molly is treated better than most humans. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting your furry babies well taken care of.
