“Stephen was amazing! Easy to work with and outstanding communication about my cat while I was gone. It’s evident he is great with animals, and I appreciate him being so sweet to my pet.”


“Eleanor was very responsible and our family felt like she was taking care of our dogs well. We got photos of them every day we were away. She was great about responding and getting in touch with any questions or concerns in a timely matter. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”


“Brennan is the best! She took great care of my cats. I end up saving all the pictures of them she takes because they are so good. I will always book Brennan for my trips out of town.”


“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!”


“Danielle did so well with my boys over the weekend. Although both low maintenance, one takes behavioral meds and she made sure he got them on time every day. I received so many great pics and they both looked so content each time. I will be using Danielle from now on in STL!!!! Thank you!!!”

“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”

“Risa answered my booking at the last minute and was so understanding and accomodating to the requests I had. She ensured my pup was taken care of to the best extent, kept me well informed, and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend her services and would for sure book her again!”


“Minal was amazing with our nervous dog, she sent lots of pictures and notes on visits. We will definitely will look to Minal again in the future!”


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!

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.

“Tamara has been terrific with our rottie puppy, Ruby. She’s super reliable and takes gorgeous pics of our pup. We are lucky to have her help!”


“Miranda went above and beyond taking care of my cat. She made sure all his needs were met, provided me with full detailed updates, and was very reasonable.”


“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”
