House Sitting in Commerce

“We were very happy with the care Emma provided for our dog, Cooper, in our home. She gave us feedback, was reliable, and was very pleasant. She asked questions and seemed to genuinely care for our dog. We would be glad to have her back.”

“Karlie did an amazing job! She truly treated my three dogs like they were her own with not only care but love. Not only did she do amazing job taking care of the dogs. She did the same with the house. I came back to a cleaner house and I had when I left. I have already rebooked her for the next trip.”

About: What sets me apart is my years of experience caring for a variety of pets (cats, dogs, fish), along with a reputation for being reliable, communicative, and respectful of clients' homes. I've been pet sitting and house sitting since my early teens, and many pet owners have trusted me for repeat stays thanks to the consistent care I provide. I'm adaptable to each pet’s personality—whether they need active playtime, quiet companionship, or specialized care. I’m also experienced with administering daily medications, including pills, ointments, eye drops, and even medicated baths. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I am currently a full-time student and therefore am mostly free throughout the summer. The only exception is from June 2- June 22 when I will be studying abroad. Other than my study abroad trip, I am free to provide timely care whenever needed over the summer. My dog enjoys frequent walks due to our lack of yard in the city. My dog is reactive and has had poor experiences with off-leashed dogs. I always consider my dog's safety and past experiences when walking him in public areas. One way I do this is to communicate clearly to strangers that my dog is reactive and should not be pet, I can communicate your pet's needs clearly to other pet owners/ strangers who we may encounter while on walks. At home, I make sure to spend time with my dog and not leave him alone in other rooms. Depending on your pets personality and needs, I can accommodate accordingly.

“Samuel is a fantastic dog sitter! He texted me every day with photos and updates on how my pup was doing. He is very attentive and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable while you are away. Highly recommend!!”

About: With me, your pet is guaranteed to receive personalized, loving care. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, I've been surrounded by dogs from an early age, and they've always been an integral part of my life. My experience in raising dogs all my life has made me highly attuned to their needs. I currently have a loving American Bulldog named Apollo, who you'll see under the orange cover in my profile gallery, along with other dogs I've cared for in the past. I've been dog sitting for years, and it’s more than just a job—it's a passion. I understand how important dogs are to a family, having experienced firsthand the comfort and joy they bring to our lives. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping you informed with regular pictures and updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs and your preferences, so just let me know your pups fav trails and playtime activities and I’m happy to accommodate. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer dog walks, play dates, and dog sitting at your home, including overnight stays if needed. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine and habits, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away. I work Mon-Fri. But have the flexibility to leave multiple times throughout the day. I am able to do overnight stays Sunday - Saturday as long as you are comfortable with a sitter that has a 9-5. Open to taking the kids to the park, on a nice walk or even a small trial hike! Whatever meets your needs as a parent. Unfortunately I am not open to overnight sitting services within my own home. I can however bring your pet for a play date with my own dog or bring them to my house for a temporary moment of time.

About: I think it’s important to none only be trusted with your fur baby, but also know they are being taken care of exactly the way you would like. My fur babies have specific instructions with reasons why, so I know how important it is. I have experience working with feral cats and at an animal shelter and grooming salon, so I have a wide range of experience with many different animals, seeing them at their worst, and having the needed patience to remain an empathetic, gentle, loving caretaker. With my animals, and animals I have rescued, I have lots of experience medicating animals including giving shots for diabetes and I own and have trained a deaf dog. I am also a dog trainer and growing to help any dog with any behavior issues. My schedule is currently completely flexible because I am taking online classes. I’m an early riser, so I can take your dog on a walk while it’s cooler outside. I like to follow the instructions left for me as closely as possible. I think it’s important to stick to the dog’s routine in order to feel more comfortable.

About: Ive taken care of my neighbors cats and walked other friends dogs multiple times and I've always loved all kinds of animals I've also taken care of my brothers snake before as well I'm available to walk, drop in or even house sit all kinds of animals. I can do it mainly during the day but I can also do house sitting that requires over night stays I can't have other dogs to come over to my house due to having 2 other dogs and 3 cats in the house so I can't bring them here. But I have plenty of experience caring for them in other environments

About: I have grown up around animals all my life living out in the country. I grew up on a chicken farm and then from there 20+ acres of land with many animals I had to learn to care for at a young age. Additionally, I have also pet sit for my family and friends when they are out of town. I just recently pet sitted for about two months and it was a blast. It’s safe to say, I truly do have a love for any and every animal. Full time and part time availability! Flexible schedules available as well. I will work with with you in whatever way I can schedule wise to meet your needs. I go to your home , and take your dog and/or cat for walks to parks, trail, or around the neighborhood. And of course if there is a little time left, we’ll play one more time before I leave!

About: I live in Forest Park which is great area to have your dog and take good walks! Always showing unconditional love to all animals. 😊 I currently don’t have a job and I’m available all times/days of the week to take care of your lovely animal. Feel free to contact whenever your needed of a sitter! 😊 I have a fenced play area inside of my apartment complex to let your animal roam free and have fun with the toys at my apartment. Im always giving animals a lot of attention and they would love to be here. 😊

About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. Recently, I only have a kitten at home currently, but I've cared for all ages and sometimes even special needs animals. I have my kitten on a timed eating schedule with wet food to help her get all the nutrients she needs. She also has toys for stimulation, and I play with her daily to increase her stamina and decrease pet depression. For cats, I keep them indoors and make sure they have enough stimulation in their environment. For dogs, it would depend on the weather, the backyard setup, and the specific care that each different individual animal may need.

About: I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have always grown up around animals and always took in sick animals in need of care. Our house was never a stranger to any animal, so I have a lot of experience on animal needs and animal body language! My Fiancé and I have a cat named Marty and a dog named Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a 100lb puppy, so you can be absolutely sure I can walk your large fur babies with no problem! I have also grown up with a lot of dogs under 30lbs, so walking smaller dogs is no issue either. I carry with me poop baggies, treats, and a portable water bowl on dog walks. They will be well taken care of and made sure they can enjoy their walk without being bored or thirsty! I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I would love to take them on a walk or just provide general care to them, and I am sure they will appreciate it too! I am available all through the week and work weekends. I can take your baby(s) on a walk any time needed. I would love to spend more time getting out into nature and let your baby do the same! I plan to walk your dogs at a park or somewhere dog friendly and safe! If there is a certain place they love to walk above all the rest, I can take them there too!
