“She managed our shy dog very well, understanding his needs. Unexpectedly, she also did some cleaning. Much appreciated everything she did!”

About: I've cared for pets since age 10! I've always had deep love for animals. I love to play with them or just cuddle, whatever they want. I can care for pets of any age! I don't mind cleaning up accidents or caring for animals with special needs. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. My availability is open most of the time. I take pet safety very seriously! When on a walk your pet will always be on a leash to prevent them running away or any other unsafe behavior. I always adhere to the wishes of the pet parent and strive to care for pets as if they were my own, providing all the love and care they could ask for. I can give medications or whatever is necessary to care for your pet.

About: I take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs. Whether that means structured playtime for high-energy pups or quiet companionship for seniors, I adapt to them. I prioritize safety, communication, and providing updates so you always feel confident your dog is in loving, capable hands I work full-time, but I maintain a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable pet care. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feedings, and quality time, and I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and affection before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended walks, playtime, and extra care When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routes, medication needs, and house rules. I keep doors secured, monitor surroundings on walks, and ensure pets are always safely leashed or supervised. My goal is to maintain a calm, familiar environment so your pet experiences minimal disruption while you’re gone

About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could ever want! I am trustworthy and dependable. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I currently work 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day at my nanny job. I always make sure that pets are in a safe environment. While we're out on a walk they will always be leashed so there's no worry of them running away or anything of that sort. I always respect the wishes of the owner and take the safety of animals very seriously.

About: I’ve worked in a variety of different boarding facilities as a kennel assistant, worked as a vet assistant for a year in a medical setting, and I’ve bathed dogs for groomers. So I have tons of experience working in all different settings with your furry friends! I’m currently devoted to giving all of my time to your furry friends to make sure they have everything they need! I’m available to take your pup out whenever you need. I treat every pet like my own! I currently own a rabbit, Norman who is my whole world! I also own a baby kitten named Theo that I absolutely adore. No other animals in the household!

About: My current job involves taking care of all types of animals, and I have had many types of pets my whole life. Reptiles, furry friends, small animals, birds, fish, etc. I know basic(and in most cases, more than that) care for majority of pets. Im comfortable with all kinds, furry, or scaly! I have a full time job, and schedule changes every week. Im often working evenings, so mornings are most open for me. Although I am flexible, and able, to move my schedule around. I have reliable transportation, and i'm comfortable coming to your home to care for your pet. I am okay walking, feeding, checking in on, etc., any pets you may have. I love all animals!

About: I’ve had animals all my life! I worked at petsmart for over four years so I have experience in many different areas. I have a calming spirit that your pup will pick up on and feel at home with me! I’m a teacher, so the summer season is very open for me! I’m reliable and have a great schedule to take care of your furry family member. I want to keep your pup on their regular schedule, as this will make them most comfortable. Please share any specific instructions so I can keep your fur baby comfy and happy!

“Nina took great care of my 3 fur babies in our home for a few days. She sent photos and kept us posted on how they were doing, medications, etc. Really appreciate her attentiveness and communication.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including regularly dog sitting for a couple from my church who had two dogs. They trusted me many times to feed, walk, play with, and check in on both dogs while they were away. I followed detailed care instructions, kept them on their normal routines, and made sure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Managing two dogs at once helped me build patience, attentiveness, and confidence. In addition, I spent most of a summer independently caring for and training my own dog as a puppy. I worked on potty training, leash walking, and basic commands using consistency and positive reinforcement. That experience taught me responsibility, structure, and how important routine is for young dogs. I am dependable, observant, and genuinely love being around animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I am currently looking for a summer position starting in May, which means I will have a very flexible and open schedule. I will be available most weekdays and weekends and can provide consistent care, walks, check-ins, or extended stays as needed. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I am dependable, punctual, and able to adjust my availability based on your pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and household rules. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention. I am attentive to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel safe and supported. My goal is to build trust not only with pets but with owners, so they feel confident their dog is in responsible and caring hands.

About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.

“Great job! On time and attentive, even came by before our booking to make sure she knew our dogs needs and cared for them just like we would.”

Michael M.

“Jamie was absolutely wonderful. She sent pictures of the dogs and treated them like her own. Our rescue dog even felt comfortable around her, which he is very shy. Overall, I will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.

About: I’m an RVT that is wanting to help look after your little kiddos! I’ve been in the vet field for almost 9 years, I’m good with all types of pets, especially dogs and cats I’m currently switching to a new job so I have plenty of availability at the moment. I can stay overnights if needed or just stop by during the day. I’m able to walk your dogs and play with cats. Im very capable of giving medications if needed or just hanging out with your little kiddos

About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.

About: I have experience in ALL animals even farm animals. I have loved animals from a very young age. Animals are my specialty. There is nothing I love more. I have full time availability to care for your pets! I work part time but pets are allowed at my work if necessary. My neighborhood is pet friendly and I have a fenced yard with puppy panels for small animals. Animal care makes me happy and i’m available for any of your needs. I have a fenced yard and a nice pet friendly neighborhood to go on walks. I can come to my clients home as well and take them for walks or feed and water them. I am available to do anything.

“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

Lisa J.

“This was our second time using Leigh. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay. It was clear our dogs were happy and getting lots of love! She left our home clean - we couldn't even tell she had been there. We will use her again in the future! Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I’m a Big advocate on animal rescue. I have watched friends and families animals when they go out of town. I currently work part time as a server. I would like to transition into pet care full-time. after the new year. Making myself available to come to you is something I think is important so you and your pet feel more comfortable in your own surroundings. I would care for your pet in your home along with your pet routine. I know how important it is for your pet to stay on their routine. With you being gone it will help ease pet anxiety, if they have it.
