Dog Sitting in Cahokia

“Emily was fantastic! We have 1 very reactive dog so it is a bit of a challenge to get her acclimated to new people. Emily had such a calming presence and was so patient with our dog. She communicated very well and followed all instructions. We have already booked Emily for more trips and visits.”

About: Life long dog owner and lover! Currently have a 2 year old mini dachshund Rue and a 11 year old grandpa mastiff pitt mix Gus. I am a PE teacher off for the summer so I love to get dogs their fulfillment through walks, sniffaris, fetch, or just some much needed attention. I endeavor to love, care for, and spoil your dogs just like I do my own I am a teacher off for the summer who also works at the 2nd shift brewery. I will be available most week days apart from 2 vacations I am taking. My summer schedule is very flexible to meet your needs. I have a fenced backyard and take my own pups on daily walks and would love to care for yours in the same way I do my own.

About: I grew up with pets, I have house sat and pet sat since I was 13 and I am the proud mother of a cat. I currently work 3 12 hour shifts per week so I have a lot of open availability which varries week to week, which leaves a lot of free time to care for your pet! I have house sat, babysat, and looked after animals since I was in high school. I am very clean and am an animal loving person. I feel most comfortable in a clean environment. While I will not offer services in my own home ( I am not sure how my cat will interact with your pet) you can rest assured I will treat your home with the care and love of my own.

“I am very grateful to Damica for helping out with my Papi Chulo for 4 days on such a short notice. Also did an amazing job on communication and keeping me updated on all events, I would definitely work with her again 👍🏾”

About: Hi! My name is Maria and I live in St. Louis with my dog, Aviva. I love animals and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet ownership as well as petsitting for others. I enjoy providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am an experienced pet and house sitter with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and animals with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and providing post-operative care following surgeries and medical procedures. As a dog owner myself, I walk 3–5 miles daily and am happy to accommodate pets that require longer walks and higher activity levels. I also have experience handling large dogs and managing a variety of temperaments, including reactive pets, as my own dog is a 70-pound reactive dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a remote worker, I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house and stay active. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for drop in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and walks during the workday, while also having longer blocks of time available in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. I walk several miles a day with my own dog, so regular walks and exercise are already an important part of my routine. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and their owner's routine. Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or providing drop in visits and walks, I prioritize keeping their schedule as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. For cats, I focus on maintaining a clean litter box and respecting each cat's comfort level and personality.

“Our dogs love when Chelsea and her sweet dog, Mo, come to check in! The pups love the attention and a little play time helps wear them out while we’re gone😊”

About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.

About: I'm a Rolla native and a current college student at Saint Louis University. I love running and long walks, so if you have a high-energy pup who needs a good run I'm the walker for you! I grew up on a small farm, and because of that I've had a lot of experience with various medical needs, and I know how to give medications orally. I've potty trained and raised several dogs and cats, and I have developed the patience of a saint because of it. I look forward to working with you and your furry family members!

About: My house is located close to a couple large parks and I love to take the dogs out for some play time. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs. I enjoy running and would be able to take your doggo for runs if that’s something they’re into. I live within walking distance to the dog park in Tower Grove park. If your dog happens to be a little more timid our house has a medium sized yard for them to play in. I’m pretty relaxed on dogs being on the furniture but if you have instructions on keeping them off I can adhere to that as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests either during the week or weekends. I typically do walks at least once a day but can accommodate more, if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a small wading pool on hotter days. I don’t have very many steps so I can accommodate older pups as well

“Haley was great! Always on time and took great care. This was our first time having Haley over and she checked in on two different days. Would recommend and request again.”

“Abigail was able to come in and feed our cat last minute. She checked in and out through the app and took pics to let us know how Luna Tuna was doing, we were so grateful for her coming by and helping out while we were gone! She did a great job! :)”

About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve known I was meant to work with animals. It’s more than a passion—it’s my purpose. Pets have always brought me peace, joy, and fulfillment, whether they were mine or someone else’s. Over the years, I’ve raised everything from Great Danes to Pit-Husky mixes. I currently care for my special-needs English Mastiff, Kayser, and have supported senior and rescue dogs—each requiring patience, trust, and personalized care. Motivated by my commitment to animal well-being, I returned to school to pursue my dog training certification. I also hold certifications in animal welfare, pet CPR, and first aid. My approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and a strong belief in creating an informed, compassionate pet guardian community. My mission is to be a bridge between animals and their guardians—prioritizing not just obedience, but behavioral health, emotional enrichment, and the deeper bond that comes from truly understanding and nurturing the whole animal. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine, so I’ve learned to build my schedule around it. I’m usually up early to handle morning feedings, walks, and check-ins, which leaves me available mid-morning through early afternoon for appointments, training sessions, or visits. I also keep some flexibility in the evenings and weekends for clients who need extra support or who have specific routines for their pets. Because animals are part of my daily life, fitting in care—whether mine or someone else’s—comes naturally. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I’d want in my own. I stick closely to the routines the pet is familiar with—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime—because consistency helps them feel secure. I take my time to build trust with each animal, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy, so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. My goal is always to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while giving families peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands.

“Leanna responds pretty quickly and my cat loves to stay with her. She played with my cat, feed him, cleaned the litter box, and changed the water. It's pretty hot outside. She also helped me lower the AC to make my house cooler.”

About: *insured and have a business outside of Rover. Look up entailed adventures. **I’m mostly just trying to use the app to reach more people. We have been in business for a year, but been doing this for friends family for many years prior. Whether you are busy pet parent or just needing a bit of help here and there, I take care of most animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc… I’ve had a pet care service for almost a year but I have years of experience taking care of animals for 8. I’m currently working full time, but I am working on being able to do this full time. I will keep my calendar updated to match my schedule at work until I can do this full time. I house sit at the clients home. If you do not have a fence, I will walk the pet long enough so they can get some enjoyment. I will clean as I go and it will either look as good as it did or better when you come back.

About: I have worked at an animal hospital as well as a pet boarding facility. I absolutely adore animals but dogs are my favorite. I have handled all kinds of breeds, sizes, temperaments, etc. I know what to do in most emergency situations and have used my knowledge in both of my roles. I work 8-5 Mon-Friday. I do have an hour for lunch so I would be available to drop in to check on your pup! I am available by all means outside of those hours! I love each dog like my own, making sure to provide lots of love and attention like they deserve. I am able to follow any feeding schedule and try my best to stay on your dogs routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their human is gone!

“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”
