“Leah and her sister made a great team taking care of my pup! He was so calm and happy when I came back. I was really nervous to leave him, but they put me at ease with their capable caring hands. They spent plenty of time with him and communicated with me late at night and in the morning too. It gave me so much confidence that I actually can spend a weekend away from him if I need to!”

About: I’m excited to begin my pet-sitting journey, as I’ve always had a nurturing spirit and love for our four legged friends! While I didn’t grow up with pets in my home, I had the joy of dog sitting for family friends and raising several dogs on my own, including one I welcomed home straight from the kennel. Raising Bruno was especially lovely because he felt like my first child. It wasn’t just the potty training and feedings that made the experience meaningful, but the beautiful bond we built together because one that felt much like a mother’s love for her son. That time in my life meant more to me than words can fully express. With my natural connection with animals, other people’s pets often bond with me quickly. Through daily walks, cuddle time, and attentive care, I’ve learned how to recognize and meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. When I care for a pet, I treat them like family, with patience, reliability, and the same level of love and attention I gave my own. Now that we’re empty nesters, I’d love to care for your pets, giving them the love and care they need while their family is away! Is your pet used to to a 9-5 work schedule? I’m the perfect fit! I work a full time job, Monday-Friday, 8a-4:30p or 9a-5:30p during the week. However, I work only minutes away from home, so on my breaks I can easily check in on our furry friend if they’re staying with me for the week. If I’m watching your pet at your home, I am no more than 2 minutes away from the highway and no more that 20-30 minutes away from everything in the lovely city of St. Louis. After work, whether boarding or house sitting, our furry friend will have my full attention. We will get in some exercise, and then wind down with dinner, Netflix and cuddles of course! Also, I am absolutely flexible on the weekends, so they will be loaded with cuddles and playtime! I offer attentive, personalized pet care tailored to your furry friend’s unique needs, whether care takes place in my home or yours. When pets stay with me, I create a cozy, clean, and safe environment where they can truly feel at home. They’re welcome to get comfortable on the couch, soak up plenty of head and belly rubs, while enjoying a calm, loving space. While I don’t work from home during the day, I’m very present in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the weekends to give your pet the time, attention, and affection they deserve. I have a fenced, nicely sized backyard ready for play and relaxation, along with a walkable, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for enjoyable walks and fresh air. I do my best to follow your pet’s regular eating, exercise, and potty routine to keep their schedule consistent. I understand how important reliability and familiarity are for pets, and I’m committed to making this a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved companion. We can enjoy on- or off-leash playtime in the backyard or common areas based on your comfort level and preferences. No matter which service you choose, you can trust that your pet will be cared for with the same love, patience, and attentiveness as if they were my own.

“Laura was fantastic! She was very response and sent daily updates, which put our minds at ease. She left our home clean. I would definitely use Laura again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“They are so reliable and I feel reassured when they’re staying at our house with our two dogs. Great communication and leave the house in great shape and pups well loved. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently working 9-5 while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am also available before work and after work to care for your pets. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.

“She did a great job with 3 difficult dogs. She gained their trust and stayed to comfort them. It was our first time leaving them. We recommend her and will use her again if she's available. She's so easy going!”

“Zachary was an excellent dog/cat/house sitter for me. Professional. Excellent communicator and left my house cleaner than it was before my trip. I highly recommend him and will be booking him again!”

“Julia was great! She made sure to send pictures and updates while she watched the dogs. She made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were being watched. Will 100% be using her in the future!”

“She was simply great! We have 2 fluffy huskies and one is diabetic, which means that has a VERY rigid and strict schedule and also requires injections. Taylor was on point with updates via texts and followed every single direction we have her. Absolutely amazing job! We'll be coming back to her 100%”

“We LOVE Tea!!!! Our boys looked so happy and relaxed in the photos and when we got home they were excited to see us but showed no signs of stress or desperation. Our home also felt warm, clean and smelled beautiful! Thank you Tea!! We hope you felt comfortable and happy in our home too ❤️”

“Tazhae is wonderful! Always sends updates and pics and I know my dogs are loved on and well cared for! She even graciously dealt with my worry/panic moment when a tile malfunctioned and showed one of my dogs away from home at 2am! LOL Have used (and will use) repeatedly! Highly recommend!”

“Kayla was amazing! I reached out last minute when my previous sitter did not show up to our meet and greet. Kayla responded quickly and was so kind and willing to help. My pups can be skittish, and they immediately fell in love with Kayla. I hate leaving my dogs behind and I felt so reassured having Kayla in my home and taking care of them. She was great with them and was thorough and caring, with consistent communication!”


“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
