About: I've spent over 40 years caring for animals, from small dogs like Mini Dachshunds and cats to large breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Chows, Pitbulls. I currently share my home with a long-haired German Shepherd and a beautiful long-haired domestic cat who are my babies. My daughter is also there while in college & has 2 cats so animals have always been an important part of my life, and to me, they're family, not just pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I've provided pet sitting for friends and family, including multiple-dog and cat households. One of my most meaningful experiences has been caring for my German Shepherd following a serious attack that left him with very significant injuries. Helping him through his recovery gave me firsthand experience with the patience, attentiveness, and compassion required when an animal needs extra support. I'm comfortable administering oral medications according to instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and adapting to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is a tiny Dachshund, a large German Shepherd, or a beloved cat, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I've always seemed to have a special connection with animals, even those who are normally hesitant around people. There's a little shop I frequent with a resident cat who apparently doesn't warm up to many visitors. One day, she surprised her owner by jumping right into my arms! Moments like that mean the world to me. I've always believed animals are some of the very best judges of character. I currently work an interesting schedule that allows me several consecutive days off. I have a rotating schedule. One week I work Sun-Tues 6am-6pm and the next I work Sun-Wed. The days I work are 12 hr days. But depending on how close you are to my job (Bridgeton area) I could potentially check in on them on my hour lunch and then go there after work at 6pm.. I live in Illinois but I dont plan alot of things this time of year so I have pretty good availability. Shoot me a msg, we can probably work it out. Even holidays. Talk to you soon! :) I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, especially when their family is away. My goal is to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. Before accepting a booking, I like to learn about each pet's personality, daily schedule, feeding instructions, medical needs, and any special behaviors or concerns. I also believe meeting beforehand is important so both the pets and their owners can feel comfortable with me. Safety is always my priority. I'm attentive to securely closing doors and gates, using appropriate leashes during walks, and being mindful of potential hazards. Having cared for my own German Shepherd through a serious recovery, I understand how quickly unexpected situations can arise and how important it is to pay attention to changes in an animal's behavior or well-being. I respect my clients' homes and privacy and will treat their property with the same care I give my own. I also believe communication is essential, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. Most importantly, I understand that I'm being trusted with two things that mean a great deal to someone: their beloved pets and their home. I take that responsibility seriously.

“Hayle was able to cover all of our days needed twice a day at a short notice. She sent pictures of our cats to us while we were away and our skittish one seems to be becoming more comfortable with her which is not an easy feat! Thanks Hayle!”

Little does she know made my trip stress free knowing our dog was in good hands. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.

“Dani cared for our cat, Luna, while we were out of the country. We were worried about leaving Luna for so long since she's such a social cat, but Dani kept her safe, fed, happy, and loved while we were away. We enjoyed receiving daily updates with lots of photos. We will definitely reach out to Dani for our future pet sitting needs and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and responsive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Dani!”

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.

About: I have had pets in the house my whole life. My grandpa had a farm so I have been around animals since I was little. We have even had several pet pigs that were litter box trained. When I was younger, I would sneak stray cats into the house so they would have a place to stay and I always made sure to feed any stray animals that were too scared to come to anyone. I am that person that always stops if I see an animal wondering around outside, even in areas where I probably shouldn't even stop at stop signs. I have two boys, 7 and 19 months old that share my love for animals. We would be thrilled to spoil and love on your pets if you are planning a trip out of town or just need someone to stop by so your fur babies can have some play time and a bathroom break. I work full time close to Lambert Airport so I have limited availability during the week. On the weekends I am typically home amd welcome any dogs to stay with us as long as they are up to date on vaccines and currently taking flea and tick treatments. Our pups are just like family members. They have free roam throughout the house and are allowed on furniture. We have several dog beds, plenty of toys, and a fenced in backyard.

About: I have years of dog care experience and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand dogs’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special routines. I love giving dogs attention, exercise, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I’m used to making time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work around each pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of love while you’re away. In my home, pets get lots of love, attention, and a safe space to relax. I keep up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, litter box cleaning, or cuddle time, I treat every pet like my own.

About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!

About: Aside from my own fur babies - friends, family, and neighbors have often trusted and called upon me to ensure their pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each one and provide the individualized care they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and loved from the moment we meet. I can accommodate any almost arrangement. I’m an independent contractor package delivery driver so I have plenty of flexibility when it comes to bookings. I will follow your requests, and make sure to keep your regular routine in mind while you are away so that your pets are as happy. I will maintain a safe comfortable enviornment, and keep you updated along the way.

About: I’ve had a pet for as long as I can remember, love caring for any kind of animal baby for you:) have experience like no other and with all kinds of pets. I like to say I have the start of a mini zoo. I’ve worked at a doggie day care and in addition to walks, play time, and cuddling time ( if pet enjoys cuddling) I can give baths, trim nails and brush them as well. I am comfortable with any kind and size of pet you may have and have experience with obedience training as well. I am looking forward from hearing back from you and meeting your precious pet. I am a part time emt trying to make extra money so I can move out of my parents and buy more animals, since I’m not allowed to get anymore until I do so😔 I am able to wake up early for scheduled routines you may have for your baby or if needed to be let out at certain times of the night. I’m able to make my own schedule for work so I can be pretty flexible but do like timely notices. I have and big fenced in back yard and plenty of parks around my house for your pets entertainment. I also have a quit home with one almost 2 year old female German Shepard named Dakoda who is a curious pup that likes to make friends. Tag or catch me is her favorite game to play in the yard. I also have a lizard, snake and bird that won’t interact with your pet, except the bird she might try and talk to them if I show them her cage.

About: I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was in high school. It’s one of my favorite ways to get into the neighborhood and hang out with dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. I’m currently working part time, so my availability is super flexible to take care of your pets! I’m available throughout the day to go on walks, and I’m also happy to house sit as needed! I have grown up with pets my whole life, and while I can’t have any myself right now, I’m beyond excited to help take care of yours!

About: Cai has been providing in home pet care since she was a teenager and began boarding pets when she started grad school in 2020. Joe has been boarding cats since around 2019 and has began boarding dogs since 2024. My partner and I work from home and provide full time care, meaning that, unless discussed beforehand explicitly, your pet will not be left alone and you can rest easy knowing they have our full attention. We only accept more than one pet at a time if they live in the same house and we are pet free right now, so you dont have to worry about how they might get along with any other animals. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to run around in and we live minutes away from Tower Grove Park where I love to take walks.

About: I have always taken care of dogs. Family and friends. They always have trusted me with their animals! I absolutely adore dogs and cats. They are my absolute passion. Your pet would be in the best hands! I recently worked at a dog boarding and daycare place called playful paws in Missouri. I am able to pet sit whenever needed. I am in college but I do online. I only work 4 hours a day, any other time I am available to give you fur baby all the attention!! I will treat your pet the same way you do. I crate my animals at home. I can crate yours as well! I will always help in any possible way.

About: I have two super goofy, friendly, and loving male Pit bulls. I work from home so will be around pretty much all the time. I take my dogs on a walk mostly 3 times a day but again I’m around a lot and get bored easily so might be 5 times a day :) My dogs are definitely spoiled and should not expect anything less for your pet when I’m watching them! I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special care such as taking medicine. Mostly home all day and night. I work from home so your pet will always be attended too unless I leave to make a quick errand run. My dogs do have cages but they are barely in them. Whenever I do leave my dogs stay out freely but they do well in their cages when needed. They do get along very well with other pets. Small dogs or large dogs.

“Deborah was always on time with the drop ins and has amazing communication, she stopped by more than once before the booking to make sure everything would go smoothly when she was looking after my dog, very thoughtful of my dog and made sure she stayed comfortable and happy and her pup solana is an added bonus she is very sweet and a calming presence!”

“Chloe was great anytime I need my dog taken care of I'm going to try and get Chloe again. She went above and beyond what was asked and Sparky loved her. Chloe, I just want to say thank you very much and I look forward to having you take care of Sparky again”
