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.

About: A few summers ago, I got the opportunity to volunteer at an animal shelter in which I took care of a variety of dogs daily. This experience gave me a lot of education and many heartwarming connections with our four legged friends. I’m currently home on summer break from college, so I’ll have plenty of time to care, interact, and supervise your pets! I’m a early bird who enjoys morning walks. I have a variety of pet supplies, toys and comfort items in my home since I previously owned a dog. I have a fenced home located in a pet friendly neighborhood.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.

About: I genuinely, whole heartedly love animals. Have worked with animals (grooming, walking, feeding) since 15, work with young & senior also give meds & arthritis massages. Patient, kind, loving and ready to spread my love for animals. Have worked at Kennelwood, No Leash needed, Camp Bow Wow and volunteer at the humane society. All animals deserve love. I’m available to house sit or pop in for walks, I start my new job 8-4 M-F so available anytime to house sit during the week & weekend would just be out during that time if house sitting. I love to go for walks and play so your baby will definitely be stimulated with me around! If you have toys or treats I will keep them entertained and work with whatever training goals you have for them. If a tail isn’t wagging it’s my goal to get it to!

“Bethany has helped us a few times with our special needs pup. Knowing that she's certified and will have the skills to care for him is only a part of the reason we look towards her. Zapoto seems so happy in the pictures she sends us and just well taken care of when we get home.”

About: I love all breeds of dogs. I used to walk my neighbors doggies for fun when I was little. I've house sat for many friends with animals & plants for long periods of time. I've raised many puppies in my life time. I have two of my own that are now 2 and 5. They're everything to me. There's absolutely no better feeling than hearing the pitter patter of their feet on the floor as they're coming to attack me with love and kisses. I've never been without at least one dog in my household as long as I've been alive and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've also played sports my whole life so I love being active and playing games with the pups. I'm currently working part time so my availability is pretty open for the most part right now. I'm mainly unavailable after 4pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have two full sized crates at my home and a fenced in back patio with great sun for sunbathing. If I'm in your home, I'll respect your home as if it were mine & make sure the babies get soo much lot of love and attention. Picture/ video updates as often as you'd like. ❤️

About: I have 3 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

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.

About: I can train dogs I’ve trained many in the past and even mine ! Potty train walking on the leash bad behavior with aggressive eating and trained them to be patient as well. I groom clip nails clear ears sometimes I even trim their hair down I’m well at what I do. I was asking God what is it I can do and all I think about is helping others with their animals if it’s Gods will for my life all will fall into place and if your dog needs training I am that person to help you we can make appointments and I can help you with your pet. Your pet will need to have all his or her vaccinations including flea and tick prevention to keep all the animals safe and mines. They have to be crate trained at least and I can do the rest if not I can work on crate training as well. But I will prefer them to be crate trained. Although i pray in Jesus name you pick me to take care of your pets. Cats aren’t allowed in my home my husband is allergic I can only do dogs God bless and Jesus loves you all !!! Every morning I wake to take my pets outside around 6am every morning, I let them play outside sometimes we go on walks depending on the conditions of the weather if it’s to hot then no if it’s to cold then no I try to go on days I know the weather will be okay enough to take walks but I have a big fenced in back yard so I have a lot of space in my back yard to let them all run around and be free. In my home I would do as I always do train feed take on walks when can and have a great time. Although if in a clients home I always follow their rules I use to do wag and I had a high rating I’ve actually helped people with their dogs when they were out on trips and or just at work and needed someone to take their dog outside and that’s what I did never had anyone complain. I am very trustworthy.

About: I have successfully cared for 4 litters of 8-12 puppies. I currently own three. American Staffshord Terriers, Azul is 7 years of age and Bonnie is 6 years old and Deuce is 3 years old. I have trained 4 adult dogs. I have my dogs on insurance plans through Banfield Hospital, allowing me to gain knowledge from the vets in attendance and apply the knowledge with my dogs daily. I have dealt with an aggressive dog once and though it was challenging, we made great strides together with the assistance of the dogs parents. The outcome of working with Sebastian and his mom was that Sebastian had become more sociable allowing him to attend doggy play dates, go out to the dog park, and walk with out any issues with other dogs. I currently work overnight, so the first few hours I’m home I tend to my dogs, let them out to the backyard once I’m in and situated, feed them, back out to the yard and then for a walk. Do some quick daily commands & then I sleep and repeat prior to going into work for the evening. On my off days it’s the same routine, but more training and yard time. I would be walking dogs so I would tend to the dogs as instructed or if asked for pointers I would work with the dog and see what works best for that dog in particular and share that knowledge with the parents.

About: I’ve been dealing with animals literally my whole life. I went to a technical school and I worked at a doggy daycare for 4yrs.Dogs are my passion/therapy. Im trying to save up enough to continue my education. I’m currently working as a part time dog groomer Mondays/Fridays, a little busier after holidays . I’m still available to do check ins every 2-4hrs for potty breaks on those days. My home is very spacious, plus I have a dog park within walking distance. I prefer dogs that’s kid friendly as I do have a toddler.

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, female and male, kittens/puppies being bottle fed, middle aged animals, and seniors taking medication. I also have experience with aggressive cats specifically. My name is Mary by everyone calls me Mae. My pronouns are They/Them. I am looking to earn money through my passions. One of those is helping animals! I am available any time necessary to do checkups on your animal(s)! I make sure their water is always full, that they aren't over or underfed, and that they've had plenty of bathroom breaks, playtime, and cuddles! I'll give them treats if you let me too!

About: The last 20 years I haven’t gone without a dog or cat in my home. I wouldn’t imagine one without! I have my babygirl German Sheppard named Maggie, my 5 month old golden boy named Teddy, and my old man kitty named Frank! These 3 are my world. I am always a go-to for friends and family when they need a quick drop in to be fed or walked or a sleepover for a few days! Whether your pet wants a day filled with frisbee and pool time or snuggles on the couch I’m your gal! Part time student and part time working! I have a good amount of free time throughout the day due to my very flexible online school schedule and work schedule. I live around 2-3 large parks with trails and plenty of wide open space for walks and playtime. Whether your pet wants more playtime with toys inside and outside or just cuddles on the couch I am beyond ready for either one.

About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.
