About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“Shonte was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have to worry about my pups at all, they were definitely in great hands. She kept us updated with photos & videos throughout the day. She really went above & beyond any expectations. Great experience! I would 10/10 recommend!”

“Star was awesome with my fur baby Riley!!!…she kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me PLENTY of pictures and videos. My baby is like family to me and Star treated him like family also. I would definitely recommend her services she is AWESOME!! I definitely will be using her again.”

“Worked really well with my not so easy dog! Was responsive and sent a lot of photos and videos! I would definitely recommend her and will be going back!”

“This was my first time needing a sitter and I was pretty nervous about it. I've never had to leave my sweet boy anywhere other than the vet for a day. Carol was very accommodating. She allowed me to see where he would be, answered any questions I had and sent pictures to me to assure me he was ok. I was grateful for that. That helped ease my mind. I would definitely use her again if it should become necessary again. She's awesome!!”

“Margaret was AMAZING!!! I need someone to watch my Bentley boy last minute and she was the perfect match! Very communicative and sweet. He came home nice and tired lol thanks to her doggy for all the wonderful play time ! I definitely will be rebooking with her! Highly recommend! 💙”

“Kyla was so good with Nila and took excellent care of Nila. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I loved that she had 3 dogs so Nila can have some friends to play with.”

“If you’re looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond, Keri is it. She watched my pup recently and absolutely knocked it out of the park. When my flight got canceled last minute, Keri didn’t even blink—she just handled it. She made an extra trip to get food for my dog without me even asking, and stayed in close contact the entire time. I got photos and videos almost every day (sometimes multiple times), and I never once had to wonder how things were going. No other sitter I’ve used has ever been this proactive, thoughtful, and communicative. Keri is the kind of sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. She’s a total gem.”

About: Without having a ton of experience, I work well and will live up to your expectations! I love animals; I have two dogs and a kitty. I'm good with all different types! I'm a senior high school, trying to start a part-time job here. I've kept the same job for two years and have loved that experience working with kids! I'm good with keeping puppies safe on walks. My cavalier loves to go on long walks. Keeping a good eye of roads, what they step on, and what they eat!

“I can’t thank her enough for helping me out on such short notice! She took my dog in last minute for the weekend and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated, treated my dog like one of her own, and it was obvious my pup was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust when unexpected things come up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again!”

“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”

“We are so lucky we have Amber to look after our dog, Kima! She takes great care of her and is always quick to respond to us with any questions or concerns. Thank you, Amber!!!”

Sophia H.

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

Veronica S.

“Mary was an excellent dogsitter for our old little man❤️ this was our first time working with Mary, but we are sure to come back!! Our dog is a sweetheart, but definitely has a lot of particular needs that Mary was willing to accommodate and work with. Mary sent us updates throughout the week we were gone and it made us feel at ease seeing him at ease with her. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing loving and accomodating dog boarding care here in St Louis.”

“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

“We appreciated Nana taking on Mowgli for a few days. She always kept us updated and welcomed Mowgli to her home. I appreciated the pictures and detailed updates throughout his stay. Mowgli was very happy since he got to play a lot and was very well taken care of.”
