House Sitting in Burksville

“Brandy did a great job caring for our dogs. She stayed with them the entire time we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated her reliability and dedication.”

“Katelyn sent pictures throughout the week of our animals. When we returned the house was clean and orderly, and our pets were very well cared for. I left some extra cash for her and asked for a few extra things which were all done also, getting mail, bringing a package in, and watering my potted plants. Would definitely use her in the future.”

About: I have a miniature bernedoodle that is my baby. I love all dogs and I have no met a dog that I do not get along with. I make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before any interaction. I am a very upbeat and bubbly person who enjoys walks and exercise! I am an early bird so I do not mind getting anywhere early. During the week, I am at the gym early in the am and then take my dog to my parents to play with their dog a few times a week. I talk my walk just about everyday of the week and it’s a great thing to do for both of us and we both enjoy it. In the evenings, I try to talk her for another walk if I can when the weather is nice. Most evenings, I am home and playing with my own dog. I plan on offering potty breaks and dog walking. I really make sure that the pets are taken care of and have all they need. For my own dog, when she stays at home by herself a couple times a week, I make sure she has toys and a radio on so it’s not dead silence. As soon as I get home, I take her out and play with her outside and get her to run out her wiggles.

“Jamie was great with our senior pups and came through in super short notice when another person no showed. Her patience and kindness was overwhelming and definitely set our minds at ease .”

About: I have grown up with dogs in my family home. I have experience caring for puppies from 8 weeks old to senior dogs. I have been dog sitting for 6 years. I recently graduated from my masters program and I am looking for work. I can meet whatever needs you have for you dogs because I have an open schedule. I follow all instructions left for me to care for your dogs. I can visit your home as many times a day as you would need or I would feel comfortable staying in your home with your dog.

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

“Evelyn is a super responsible home and pet sitter, our Golden girl Pennie just adores her! We are always able to enjoy our trip knowing our home and Golden girl is in very good hands <3”

“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.

“Julie was so wonderful with our dog. She sent lots of pictures and videos and we could tell she sincerely cared for her. We will definitely book again with Julie and can highly recommend her.”

Therese R.

“Diane was great and we are grateful for her. She took excellent care of our girl Ruby and communicated well providing frequent updates. We will definitely request her to watch our Ruby in the future.”

Jamie S.

“Perfect as always. Communicated well while we were away and Oliver has bonded to Stephanie very well. We trust her to take good care of Oliver and our home. Thank you Stephanie!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets. Along with volunteering at a local rescue, I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I care for my own dogs every day and often help friends with their pets. I also volunteer regularly at a local rescue. Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, so I’m comfortable handling different animals and their needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean and secure environment. Whether at my home or yours, I follow established routines and any specific instructions to provide consistent care. Communication is clear and timely to keep owners informed.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.

About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.

About: I have dog/cat and house sat since I turned 16! I started taking care of one dog in my neighborhood at 16 and then started getting more clients when I went to the gym as these people heard and trusted me. I have dogsat for numerous of families over the years and still continue to do so. One client I have been dogsitting for the whole 7 years. I have the experience to give dogs medicine, bathe them, daily walks(pick up poop), fill up food and water bowls, clean up accidents in the house and of course treats and playtime! I have another job so Im consistent with letting them out for potty or feeding time every 4-8 hours. I love taking them for car rides and going to parks for walks, and pup cups! Im very good with following a detailed schedule/list and any specific needs for the dog. Your pet is my number one priority! I have pets of my own so taking care of an animal comes very easy for me. For dog,cat/house sitting, I will spend as much time with your dog/cat until I have to go to work and my jobs are pretty flexible so I can stop by on break(depending location) but im consistent with potty/feeding time every 4-8 hours. I am more than happy to stay at your home and be with your animal 24/7! I care for my cats by giving them cuddles and the love they deserve. I clean up after them as well as clean them. My cats love treats so when they hear that temptation bag they come running! In my clients home I make sure their companion gets fed on time and always has water in their water bowl. I also always make sure they get all the pets and cuddles as they want making sure they feel loved and not lonely(as they are missing their parents). I provide a comforting environment for them to make them feel safe with me. Hanging out with them is a priority! I will also make sure their space is well kept.
