“Once again Jill did amazing caring for our fur babies. We even have AMAZING framed photos now because she took AND sent to print wonderful photos of our babies at home. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
About: Are you looking for help walking your dog or checking in on them while you are away at work on vacation? Let me help you! I love all animals and breeds. I am gentle, attentive, and fun! I have owned dogs and cats all my life and I am very comfortable with them. I will pay attention to your pets body language to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I will follow your instructions for your pet closely. I have shadowing and volunteering experience with veterinarians and animal shelters. Are you unsure? We can find a time for you, your pet, and myself to meetup and see if we are a good fit. Need more immediate service? That is okay too! Let’s see if we can work together! I am a student and employed part time. I am mostly interested in walking and drop ins. I am upfront about my availability and let you know when I can or cannot do a service. I am extremely friendly to all pets. I am also very active which makes me a great companion for a walk (your dogs favorite word). I am respectful to peoples homes and any more instructions that you have more me are appreciated.
About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
“Chandra is the best. She was always on time and took great care of my Sadie. She even took care of my garden. Will definitely be booking her again in the near future.”
“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”
“We have used Morgan multiple times for our two cats and we have nothing but good things to say! We know they are always in good hands with her.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I would adopt a hundred if I could, but since I can’t I think this app is the next best thing! I am a teacher so I have evenings free throughout Mon-Friday and weekends free anytime to help! I will become fully free during next summer. I care for pets as if they are family members, I may be guilty of spoiling them from time to time but they deserve it!
“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”
“Sarah is without question one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Our senior dogs have become a bit high maintenance in their old age, and she handles everything with absolute grace. She goes above and beyond with every visit and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Kyani went above and beyond with our boys! We will definitely use her services again!”
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: I’ve always been passionate about animals and have a 5-year-old dog of my own. Caring for pets has been a big part of my life, and I understand the importance of giving them the love and attention they deserve. With my experience, I’m committed to ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I’m here to help whenever you need someone to care for your dog. My home is a safe and comfortable space where your dog will feel right at home. With plenty of room to play, relax, and explore, your pet will enjoy a stress-free environment while in my care. I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly atmosphere at all times.
“Candace is great! My cat, who never let her previous sitter get close enough to touch her (even after 4 years!), warmed up to Candace quickly. Candace is reliable, thoughtful, and communicative.”
About: ** Please contact me to see what city I'm in** I’ve been helping friends and family with pet sitting for over 10 years. Dogs, cats, young, old, mellow, energetic, you name it. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, basic training, and even some light meds. I tend to adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means playtime in the yard or quiet companionship around the house. After a workplace injury led to a layoff from my tech job, I decided to take some time to travel, visit family & friends across the country, and shift into remote work. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this new chapter of life! I’ve got the flexibility to take it seriously and the calm presence that helps animals feel safe. Most pets warm up to me pretty quickly, and I enjoy their company just as much! **Please contact me to see what city I'm in - My profile may not have updated** Since I’m traveling full-time and working remotely on my own projects, I have a pretty open schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, getting in a few walks, or just being around to keep them company, I’m usually nearby and available. I’m not rushing out to an office or juggling a bunch of local obligations, so your pets get a lot of attention and care. I treat every home with care and respect. Like a guest who knows the rules… I don’t go into rooms I don’t need to, and I always follow any guidelines or preferences the owner shares. I clean up after myself, stick to the pet’s routine, and do what I can to keep the home safe and comfortable while you're away. That includes things like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and keeping everything looking lived-in so the place doesn’t appear empty.
About: Love dogs, very flexible schedule, I’m a professional by day, and enjoy working with animals and helping people in my spare time. I have no set agenda and am not doing this for the money. I’m doing it because I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I live and work in downtown STL. My calendar is very open and I don’t see it filling up any time soon. I hope you find this biography interesting because it requires me to type 125 words and I am struggling with what else I should put. My dog Pierre is very low key. He is pretty happy just hanging out as long as he has a human to cuddle with. We like to do long walks, go to dog friendly places, and parks. We like to hangout with lots of options for exercise. I find dog behavior is based on their ability to release their energy in a positive way.
“Catelyn was amazing with my two elderly cats. Even the antisocial one loved her! She sent me daily updates with pictures. Catelyn was wonderful and made my vacation stress-free.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home and have cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors since I was young. I currently have a guinea pig and truly enjoy caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing pets—and I’m always eager to learn about other animals to provide the best care possible. I’m currently not working, so I have open availability to care for your pets! I’m flexible and can provide walks, drop-in visits, or in-home sitting during weekdays and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, a potty break, or some extra love while you’re away—I’ve got it covered! I care for pets in their own homes to help them feel safe and comfortable in a familiar space. I follow your routine closely—whether it’s feedings, medications, or quiet time for shy pets. I’m clean, respectful, and treat your home and fur babies like my own.

“Ryan from a very young age has been a natural animal lover. As a youth, he loved to read and learn about different animal breeds and how best to care for them. Once old enough to care of animals, he then raised several different pets. Ryan’s true passion however, is for dogs. He looks after and is very considerate of all animals and their needs.”

Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!
Catelyn has been awesome with my two elderly kitties every time. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will definitely ask Catelyn to watch them every time. I travel!
Reka was amazing with Ruby! We went out of town for the weekend, and she was great with making sure she had all the info needed, communicating with us throughout, and just making sure everything was smooth!
Ryan and Jennifer were nothing short of amazing! We got lots of cute kitty pictures of our little guy while we were out of state every day! Ryan was excellent at checking his litter boxes, following our medication routine and checking up with us if we had any concerns! Ryan even left us a super adorable picture of our cat for when we came home! Great communication, professional and kind humans, would recommend!
