But I am available most days to come help watch or walk your pup! I have a large fenced in yard, as well as an energetic one year old puppy to help entertain and keep company. I have a ton of toys and chews as well as medium and x-large dog crates if needed.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love, care, and patience with every dog I look after.

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

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 not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets 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 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: Quit your worrying, you've found your solution! I am a full time student enrolled to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. I would love to have the experience of meeting and bonding with other animals across Missouri. I can help supply all of your pet(s) needs by providing the specific service(s) and necessities required. If you and your pet(s) interest has been sparked, then don’t hesitate to message me. I look forward to meeting you and you fur babies! : I have a flexible schedule. Long as there is a clear understanding on a schedule i can make taking care of your pet a necessity. I have a fenced yard along with one very friendly fur baby. And if necessary, a crate is available. Each pets eating station has space away from another.

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 named Maggie and my old man kitty named Frank! These 2 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: 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 my sweet baby-dog named Leilani and a sassy 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!

About: I am a current dog owner who is very loving. I had a dog of my own for 15 years who I miss deeply, but I now have a little very energetic rescue dog named Ashton! I am very conscience of the behaviors of dogs and how to communicate and take care of their needs. My schedule is very flexible so I can walk, feed, check in on dogs quite often. I have always been one to explore and get out of the house, I love taking dogs to the park and dog parks so they can run around a bit. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are my best days for multiple drop in visits and walks. Weekends are best times for boarding dogs. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I have a dedicated room for dog stays, so your doggy will have plenty of space to stretch out! I also love taking dogs to the dog park just 15 mins from apartment! I am currently a student but most of my classes are being given online these days so I spend much of my time at home. I have no problem with boarding on weekdays, but weekend boardings and drop ins are best fit in my schedule! Since I spend a lot of time at home I am more than available to take long walks with dogs and I can crate a dog if needed. I am also fully vaccinated with 2 doses!

Alivia J.
“When Alivia told me she was planning on branching into caring for dogs through Rover I thought 'that is absolutely perfect for her AND the dogs!' Alivia has cared for my family's pets during vacations and things as a favor and has always done a fantastic job. Alivia loves all animals, especially dogs, and cares for them like a mom would her children. If you are looking for someone to not only provide the basics of food, water, walks and playtime for energy relief but also a loving companion for your pet while you are away she would be perfect for the job.”


Mauricio H.
“I’ve known Mauricio for 15 years, and I have no doubts that he would be an amazing pet sitter. Mauricio is an absolute dog lover and has owned dogs for most of his life, so I’m sure he would go above and beyond in ensuring that your pet is happy and well taken care of.”


Paige S.
“I was skeptical of having a stranger in my house, however, my daughter introduced me to Rover.com Page stood out with her overwhelming care for animals. We did a meet and greet from the time she came in my home, we were comfortable with her. 2 of the 4 of my dogs took to her right away. One of my girls has attitude and the other is afraid of her shadow so it takes them awhile. We have already used Paige several times and will continue to do so. As a paw parent i always ask her to spend as much time as she can with them. My furbabies are only use to being kenneled and alone at most 8-9 hours. We are fortunate enough to work close to come so on lunch we let them out at lunch time. She has always done what we asked of her. We would recommend Paige!”


Sara M.

“Sara did such a great job walking my dog Rusty! He's got a real independent streak and walking him can be a tough job, but she knew exactly how to handle him. She's awesome!”

Tori L.
“Using Tori as a walker/sitter has been very pleasing. I have a small chihuahua beagle mix who can be quite a handful sometimes, but Tori interacts with him very well. She really showed great concern and care for my dog and was very descriptive in her texts to me while I was away on holiday. By far, she has been the best pet sitter I've had. I would really like to keep using her from here on out as the pet sitter for my dog. My dog, Eli really liked her and she just took such good care of him. It was a great experience and I knew from the "get go" upon meeting her, Eli was in excellent hands with her. I am truly a satisfied and happy client!”
