1. Amanda H.

“Amanda was excellent! There’s literally nothing else I could ask for. We were able to meet before we left and that really put my mind at ease. I loved the updates and pictures she sent during the couple days we were away. She even brought our packages in. Thank you, Amanda! We appreciate you!!”


2. Izzy Y.

“Izzy was so sweet and attentive to our kitties! She updated us on them everyday and took such good care of them! Normally one of our cats does not like strangers at all and will hide the entire time, but she warmed up to Izzy fast! We will definitely rebook Izzy for any future trips!”

8. CC Isabelle B.

“Isabelle really stepped up in sitting my elderly girl - the morning of the drop in Nonnie must have hurt herself and was having trouble moving/sitting/getting comfortable. She was patient and kind with both the dog and my own concerns. She was able to get her up and out of the kennel with love and food. got her to eat and potty and even got her eye medicine in. A true rock star. My highest praise is that I would trust her again under any circumstances with my girl.”

12. Quia R.

“Quia has a heart of gold when it comes to taking care of my furry babies. She understood how much they mean to me and that they are part of my family. Her care for my dogs was an extension of my love for them. She was attentive to the needs I expressed and to their individual personalities. Quia baby sat my very large German Shephard and very active Brittany Spaniel. She was always prompt in picking them up and preplanned their visits with her so they could be in maximum comfort and enjoy themselves. Sometimes I don't think they wanted to come home :). Overall every experience with Quia was positive for me and my dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for them.”


13. Katrina B.

“There are not enough positive words to describe my amazing experience with Kat. She was so good to my babies. She followed exact instructions to give the meds my boy needed. She even brought in my mail and trash cans. I absolutely love her and am going to have her visit at least once a month so that the babies stay familiar with her. Because I will be calling on her from now on. She is 100% punctual, professional, warm and caring. Pick her and you will be glad you did.”


14. Sean R.
“Sean is a great animal caregiver. He can do long walks, give pills, play with your pets, and is always reliable. He will care for your animals like they are his own. He can handle large dogs and delicate kittens. He is a gentle soul and animals sense this about him. But he also has a good "voice of authority," for those times when your pet needs some guidance. He doesn't mind cleaning up messes and will take excellent care if you are out of town.”


15. Haley M.
“Haley is an animal lover first and foremost. She takes loving care of her snake, 4 cats, and countless fish. She has trained her cats to speak, spin, and sit. Every time I've seen her with dogs she is engaging and attentive. She respects the owners form of training and constantly talks to the animals. She is punctual, good at communicating, and attentive to detail”


16. Camyra A.
About: From a young age, I've had a deep passion for animals! 🐾 I always dreamed of having my own little zoo, but my family wasn't quite as enthusiastic about it. I did have the wonderful opportunity to attend vet school during high school, which gave me some valuable experience with medications. I also spent some time working at a vet office! Currently, I share my home with a delightful dog named Leilani and a lovely cat named Selena, so I have a bit of experience with different furry friends. To add, I've even had rabbits as pets growing up! 15 years of bunnies to be exact! Additionally, I work as a pet grooming technician, so if your beloved pet needs a bath or a nail trim, I would be more than happy to help! 🐶🐱🐰✨ I'm working a 2nd job (in the animal business) but I'm usually only working 3 days a week so I have a lot of free time off. I will make sure your home is pet-safe while you are gone! If there is a mess made, I'll make sure to let you know and clean up said mess. If needed, I can crate your pet for a little while. Whatever you need or want me to do for your baby, I'll do my best!


17. Bethany C.

“Bethany did such an amazing job! She was able to take our request last minute when our other sitter fell through and literally saved my birthday weekend. Her notes were thorough and I knew our babies were being well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!”


18. Madison A.
“Madison was great when she took care of my dog! My dog is very energetic and when I got her she was very tired which fit perfect with my busy schedule. She kept me updated with many pictures which made me feel very comfortable with her.”


19. Linda M.
About: I grew up with dogs all my life-big and small. I love all animals and have had many different animals including snakes, tarantula, birds, cats other reptiles and of course dogs throughout my life. My friends have told me that I should work with animals because of my knowledge, how I teach and take care of animals. Friends come to me for advice about their animals. Not only do I love and respect animals I genuinely love and respect nature and the world. I'm retired so I have time for my animals and your animal babies too. Most of my time is spent with my grandsons and Anakin; my dog, outside doing yardwork or in one of many parks in St Louis. I walk my dog in my yard on leash or walk to the park down the street from my house, weather permitting. I can walk your dog the same way or come to your house to take care of your animal baby. I'm retired/disabled and have one dog to take care of at the moment. I'm at home most of the time so I have time and love for other people's pets too. The only other thing that keeps me busy are my 3 youngest grandsons who also love animals and I teach them to respect and to be kind to animals. *If you need a service but see in my calendar I'm not available you can message me because most of the days I'm not available is usually only for 3 to 4 hours during that day and I could possibly be available for what you need* I have one bird and I keep his cage clean, change his water regularly and make sure he has food. I have one dog at home that I take out on leash in my front yard, walk him as many days a week as possible to the park directly down the street from my house, I rub his belly, give him treats when he's a good boy and play with him with his toys. All the stuff I do for my animals, I would do for your animals as well.


20. Sarah C.
“Sarah has stayed with my pets numerous times over the last several years. I have many pets of all different kinds (cats, bunny, fish, lizard, and duck), and some need special care or meds. I am confident when I leave town that my pets are all well cared for and loved as they would be if I were there. I know that she would care for and love your pets just as much as I know she does mine!”
