“It was such a relief to have Astrid stay with Pamela! He was in great hands and I enjoyed the photos she sent of him, looking happy and comfortable… Can’t say enough about the ease of drop off and pickup- so grateful for her accomadating my travel plans. Thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Darius and I truly love being around animals. I don't have any right now, but I've had pets almost my entire life including a yorkie, two pomeranians, three cocker spaniels, a foster kitten, and a German shepherd. I used to live with two adult cats, but my ex got them in the breakup sadly. Fortunately, I've got another friend with older cats that lets me check on them when she's away. More recently, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends because I have a big house with a fenced in yard and a lot of squirrels to yap at. Long story short, I just want your baby to feel loved and taken care of while they're away from home. I'll be with them most of the day because I typically work from home. As long as they don't mind chilling around the house, walking around my beautiful neighborhood, or chiming in on the occasional business call, we'll get along great. Like I mentioned, 99% of the time I work from home M-F. I might occasionally go into the office but only for a 2-4 hours max. Three days a week I go to the gym for an hour but for the most part I'll be working, chilling at the house, or outside exploring the neighborhood with my new furry friend. I like to curate a calm, peaceful environment that's full of love for your pet to feel relaxed and at ease during their stay.
“My ChiChi felt so at home and so loved! Pictures were sent often. I love pet sitters that are actually PET LOVERS! I will use Ivy again and again! And an added bonus, very close to the airport.”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Melinda was great with Sonny. She listened to me as I explained my dog's needs since he is an older dog. Despite not having a fence she explained how she keeps the dogs under her care safe. I would rebook with Melinda again.”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Lauren was! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I knew he was in great hands. Not only did she provide lots of love and attention, but she also kept me updated with an adorable photo. The one picture she sent of my dog curled up and relaxed really put my mind at ease. I could tell felt completely comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to their furry friend! Thank you, Lauren, for taking such great care of my dog!”
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Hailie is a pro! She was super easy to work with, asks all the right questions and proactively provided updates. Most importantly, my working breed dog was very tired when I picked her up- always a sign that she got enough attention and activity”
About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“Libby was absolutely amazing & made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pup in her care while I was away for the weekend. She is so sweet, has a very kind soul & it’s obvious she loves pups as her own- seriously cannot recommend her enough! ?”
About: I love them all. I love when they are new to life and excited. I love them when they've lived a lot of life and are slowing down. It was a privilege to clean up all the messes before my 17yr old best fur friends left me. Health issues from old age doesn't bother me. Neither does a little pee or poop from potty training. I have patience. I volunteered for the St Charles Humane Society in the 90s and again 2012-2015 for the San Diego Humane Society's mobile adoption unit. I work mostly weekends and typically evenings if I pick up shifts during the week. My weekday mornings and afternoons have a lot of flexibility. I would love to schedule consistent walks and feedings throughout the week, but have the freedom and flexibility to provide additional care for temporary needs. I want my clients to know they have someone they can count on last minute to fill a need they hadn't foreseen, but I'm also open to establishing a longer relationship and am in a position where I can commit to routine assistance. If I'm cat sitting for you, you can have peace of mind knowing I'm going to talk their ears off and take every scratch in allowed to give. I'm not just feeding and scooping, I'm giving love and attention. I'm open to boarding cats and small dogs. My backyard isn't completely fenced, but I a bonus side yard that is fenced in. I'm sandwiched between Tower Grove Park and Crondelette. There's food parks and neighborhoods to stroll nearby. I can provide overnight stays in your residence if your dog is medium or large, you have multiple critters and want them to get spoiled with love, or if it just makes sense and makes you feel better to have a 2 for 1 pet sitter and eyes on your property. I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need.
“Matt was wonderful, very responsive and very helpful while we were away! He took care of our little guy Auggie like he was his own! I couldn’t recommend Matt enough!!”
About: Say goodbye to worries when leaving your pet behind. Picture your fur baby enjoying daily playtime, meals, cozy naps, and daily walks around the neighborhood from a playful dog lover, sitter, and friend. 🐶❤️ I currently work from home on a hybrid so I’ll have plenty of flexibility to play with your fur babies! I am also available for doggy daycare daily! I have a small dog park in my apartment which provides a fun space to meet and play with other doggies! I also have experience potty training pups!
“Viki and Dave were great. Lots of pictures and attention given to my boy. He was actually sad to be coming back home with me lol! Also they easily worked with me when my schedule had to change. Highly recommend and will be coming back in the future.”
About: Hi all! I’m Jen. I teach preschool and kindergarten in the mornings, and in the afternoon/evenings I enjoy spending my time working with animals. I have many years of experience petsitting and housesitting, as well as doing drop-in visits for cats and walks for dogs. I currently have one cat of my own, but I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas in the past. Please reach out to me with any questions! I look forward to caring for your animals. I am available for overnight care in your home, as well as drop-in visits or walks in the afternoons and evenings. I do not offer boarding or care in my home at this time. I have years of experience working with clients in their homes through babysitting and petsitting. I will treat your pets wonderfully and your house with respect.

If we could leave 11 stars, we would! Darius was amazing with Darcy. Walks, snuggles, chill time, treats, and squirrel chasing…she loved every minute and we were so comforted knowing she was in Darius’s care. He has made a four-legged and 2 two-legged friends for life :). Delighted and grateful…we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Darius!!
Danielle did a great job taking care of our dog. At the meet and greet Danielle asked great questions and helped us immediately feel as ease. Danielle provided frequent updates and was very responsive. She kept my dog busy and I could tell my dog was enjoying her stay. I would highly recommend Danielle to others looking for a sitter.
Sarah did a great job taking care of my Lily over a long 4-day weekend. She provided lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates and photos while I was away. My dog came home happy, and calm, which is an excellent sign of good care. I would definitely recommend Sarah if you want your dog spoiled! And who doesn't want that?!!
This is our second time using Julia to watch our Pancake. I love the daily updates and pictures. But most of all, our dog is comfortable there. She usually takes a little to warm up to people but she has taken a liking to Julia. I will always pick Julia as my first option for a dog sitter!
Dustin, Margaret and their family took great care of our dog Teddy. He was with them for two weeks while we were out of town. They were so warm and welcoming during our visit. While we were away, they sent us pictures and kept us up-to-date on how he was doing. I our dog was in great hands and we felt extremely grateful for their care. I would highly recommend them!
Leslie is amazing and such a joy. She took great care of our 4yo golden doodle and was so accommodating and caring. We felt so comfortable with her and it was so nice to get away and not worry about the dog. I immediately booked her again! Looking forward to being a long term customer.
Ashlie and Phillip were great and we could tell Max did well. He’s on several medications and that didn’t seem to be a difficult thing for them to handle.. Max got plenty of exercise (play) and love from their entire family. Communication with photos was excellent and despite this being our first time with them, we were more than pleased and know Max will be visiting them again!
Shari provided a wonderful environment and loving care for our dog, Poppy. Poppy was relaxed at her home and excited to see Shari the second time we booked her. She sent us cute photos and updates and made us feel that Poppy was in the best hands. We will definitely book Shari again!
Isa is great!! So friendly, and attentive and loving with my dog. I know Lily was well-taken care of and had a good time. I could tell immediately when I picked up my dog that she had bonded with Isa and her friend. Plus she got Lily to eat while I was gone, so that's an accomplishment! I will definitely want to use Isa again for future boarding.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
