Cat Sitting in Cottleville

About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*

“Mallory was wonderful sitting for our cat. She provided photos and detailed comments on her visits each day. She also did little things like adjust lights, provide treats, etc to enable our pet to have some sense of normalcy while we were away. She was very personable and pet friendly and our cat immediately liked her during our brief meet and greet. She also went a bit farther than her regular service area and we appreciated that. We would highly recommend her to other pet owners.”

“Ardyth has done an excellent job checking in on my senior dog while I am working. She is very caring and attentive as well!”

“Cristin was amazing with our two dogs. One of our dogs doesn't socialize well with new people but Cristin was able to get her to warm up to her and went above and beyond taking care of our dogs while we were gone. Even willing to spend extra time with them during a severe storm while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her care. Thank you, Cristin!”

“We went out of the country for an extended weekend and Nadia took care of our older dog. She has become more high maintenance as she has gotten older and Nadia took care of everything that our little Allie threw at her! I’d definitely hire her again.”

About: I specialize in: oral & injected medication administration · trick training · senior pet care · separation anxiety · crate training · picky eaters · cat socialization With 15 years of experience raising and training dogs and caring for a senior cat, I know what patience, attention, and genuine love for animals looks like. My own cat is on a daily medication and weekly injection schedule, so if your pet needs medical care, you’re in the right hands! 🫶🏻 I offer three walks a day: longer morning walk (25–30 mins to truly smell the roses 🌹 ), an afternoon outing, and a short evening pit-stop. My pup is crate trained and will happily invite your dog to join our bedtime routine. 🐾 My partner works from home full-time 🧑‍💻🏠, so there is always someone present in the apartment, your pet is never alone. Boarding guests have their own dedicated room to decompress. We also have a balcony with a bird-watching view that Skylar visits at least 3 times a day to just relax and take it all in.

“Christine so reliable, trustworthy and easy to work with when you need an extra hand. She loves animals, and might even sneak in some kitty pets if they are allowed.”

About: I’ve taken care of mostly dogs since I was a kid. I grew up raising dogs and showing dogs. We raised several breeds growing up. I have cared for puppies as well as adult dogs. I do teach full time, but am available after 4pm most days. My day starts at 7:10 so I could do a very early drop in or walk if needed. My weekends are very flexible and can be reliant on client needs. I am very conscientious of owner and pet needs. I will take of your pet like it is my own baby and follow care directions exactly.

About: I grew up in the country and have spent my whole life around animals—dogs, cats, and even horses. I currently share my home with a young Australian Retriever who keeps me active and entertained. I also recently cared for my senior dog through several years of diabetes that required twice-daily insulin, so I’m very comfortable with medication routines and supporting pets with special needs. I work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends, so it’s easy for me to fit consistent, reliable care into my schedule. My priority is making pets feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your routines closely - feeding, walks, and medications are all done exactly the way your pet is used to. I keep doors secured, double-check leashes and harnesses before every walk, and pay close attention to each pet’s body language so they never feel stressed or rushed. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

“Lindsay has been a huge help with coming over and spending time with my 2 dogs while im at work. She stops by and lets them out to potty and spends some time with them multiple times a week. It makes me feel good knowing I can trust her, that she enjoys being with them and that shes very experienced in dealing with different breeds and personalities of dogs!”

“Since I now have to go back to the office for work I was worried about leaving my pups home all day. Leana is a god send, it is so nice knowing my pups are in great hands and get to spend some time out of their kennels during the day. They love her so much!”

Alexandra W.

“Ruth was phenomenal! I was concerned about leaving my recently adopted dog while I traveled for 12 days, but he thrived under Ruth’s care. I appreciated the Rover note from every visit. I will definitely have Ruth care for Gibbs when I travel!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with both ends of the dog spectrum: puppies and seniors. I can handle puppy training basics like potty schedules, crate routines, and leash manners, as well as senior care including medication administration and mobility support. You'll get honest daily updates with photos. No fluff, just reliable care. I’m current a college student home for the summer and taking online classes to fill up my time but my schedule is very flexible for your needs. I would say I can promise you that your pets are in great hands since I have always been so attentive with pet care while living with so many animals in my life.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I started driving and love to walk and interact with them. I care for the pets like they would be my own. I am very friendly and open to any type of pet and how they interact with people and adjust to their style. I’m currently in college and play soccer full time. I’m home for the summer and I can sit or walk pets at various times throughout the week. I do have a somewhat flexible schedule with work and can work around and care for any pets at different times of the week. I will keep the house clean and help pick up or do any tasks needed while I care for your pet. I also make sure that I am safely caring and looking out for the pets on walks as well to ensure the best care needed.

“Lacey was wonderful with our anxious doggo. We did a meet and greet ahead of time and she took to Lacey right away. Lacey provided detailed updates and pics. A great experience.”

“Melissa watched my 3 cats for me. She was fantastic! I got tons of pics and an update every day. When one of my cats had a gooey eye - she immediately called me to see what I wanted to do. She was very concerned and caring about the kitty and wanted to make sure she was ok and was willing to take her to the vet. (the cat is fine btw - she didn’t need to go to vet). It’s that kind of commitment and caring that makes Melissa a great sitter! I would definitely use her again.”

“Kirsten is always excellent to work with! She helped us tremendously this last time on a very short notice. She takes great care of our cat and communicates perfectly. Many thanks!”

About: Hi there! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have been around cats/dogs my whole life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats! I currently have a dog and a puppy of my own. I am a school speech therapist who is off work for the summer. I would love to make some new furry friends and to help ease your dog mom/dad guilt while you’re vacationing or at work. I will treat your babies as my own, whether it’s giving them snuggles while you’re away, taking your furry friends for a walk or just stopping by to say hello! I understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I value open communication and will send you updates with pictures while you are away or busy! If you are interested or have any questions please reach out to me. I’d love to set up a meet and greet :) I am on summer break from work so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to my daily schedule. I am a night owl so I have availability during the night as well. I have a lot of pet experience and would love to provide long walks and visits with your pet while you’re at work or have plans!

About: I have a lot of experience with dog sitting and walking because of families that needed help with their canine friends while they were away for long periods of time. I have also had to give a dog shots of insulin everyday because of her diabetes so I am comfortable with medicine and needles if needed. I have also had the opportunity to walk dogs around multiple parts of St. Louis so I know the city and it’s roads very well. My availability is mostly flexible. I love dogs and want to continue to care for them. I will provide your dog with unlimited care, treat him/her as if they were my own, and love them unconditionally. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and deserve the best care.

“Rachel was everything we hoped for and more! She arrived on time for each visit and spent the full 30 minutes with our new little pup giving him a break during the day when we were gone. She was conscientious of changing out anything that was soiled in his kennel and kept him busy with lots of activity and play time. Rachel also went above and beyond during a visit where our older dog unexpectedly got sick...not only did she take her out, but cleaned her and her kennel up...it was SO appreciated since we weren't there to take care our girl. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would...Rachel has been amazing!!!”
