Dog Sitting Des Peres

About: I'm 23 years old and currently work full-time at the Humane Society of Missouri, where I care for animals of all sizes and temperaments every day. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — including reactive or high-energy pups. I’m also a proud dog mom to two wonderful German Shepherds, so I truly understand how much your dog means to you. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or boarding, I provide the same love and care to your pets as I do to my own. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about animals, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for — whether you’re at work or away on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 10-4, but am able to come home for lunch to let the dogs out! I am available early morning and afternoon for anything! I live in a very large apartment with so much room to walk around and play! I have many green space around my apartment for walks, along with a fenced in dog park attached to my apartment!

About: Ive been an animal lover since birth. At any function my friends know I'll be snuggled up with the pets. I worked at a boarding place with all different types of dogs and cats, with all different type of needs. Im very excited to love your babies like my own! I’m always happy to send updates and photos of your fur babies while I care for them. My schedule is currently open every day except Tuesday nights! I don't mind same day bookings and last minute needs! Very open and flexible when it comes to availability, I make sure to learn as much as I can about your pet so I can satisfy all of their needs. I love learning their quirks or special routines they have and I'm happy to follow them to a T!

“Eric and Madison are great drop in cat Sitter’s. This is the 4th time they’ve taken care of my fur children and one of them is in heart meds. They are timely and care for my cats great.”

About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.

About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.

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.

About: I have a perfect record that includes over 100 five-star reviews on another platform and am taking my skills and experience to this one. I've always had dogs and always connected with animals and friends and family have recognized that affinity and felt comfortable and trusting their fur babies to my care over the years. I've worked with shy dogs, anxious dogs, aging dogs, dogs with high medical needs, puppies, power breed dogs, tiny dogs, and pretty much any other kind you can imagine. I'm looking forward to giving your pet the same high level of care! I have a flexible schedule that I control, so I have a lot of availability to help you care for your pets. I don't even mind the early morning or late evening walks! I have many regular clients, and they tend to pick me when they need someone reliable (to care for their pets when they're away, to show up on time for a 6am walk before an important procedure, to care for a dog who needs extra patience or care for medical needs, etc.). I was a store assistant manager for 15 years, so I know how to keep calm in emergency situations and understand the responsibility of having people who are relying on me. I also have a musical background, so I'll probably end up singing to your animals like a Disney princess at some point.

“Perri is the best! Our experience was so great. She took a lot of care in doing a sitting with our extremely shy and nervous two-year-old pointer mix. She knows dogs, asked the right questions, and we trusted her. Not only that, she’s super friendly and interesting as a person. Would totally recommend.”

About: Hi there! My name is Catherine and I am 27 years old. I have an associates of arts degree from St. Louis Community College and work part time as a home health care aide. In my free time I enjoy being with my family and my cat, Spyro. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up with golden retrievers and cats since I was a little girl. I even had two mourning doves since I was in kindergarten until I was a sophomore in high school. I was always raised to respect every living creature big or small. I’ve dog sat and cat sat professionally since high school, and I just absolutely love it. I’ve dog sat puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I have experience with administering medicines, as well as behavioral work. On the other hand, I have my own transportation and can take your pups to a park or for a drive as well. Being a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter is always my top concern! If there is any special requests, I am more than happy to accommodate. Over all, I love animals and spending time with them! I can’t wait to meet your precious babies. I am a full time cat mom. I always make sure my cat is fed before work and after work. If I am boarding at my house I bring my cat to my mother’s home (just in case) to ensure the safety of my clients pets and my safety of my own pet. As for taking bookings, I like to make sure I am notified atleast 4 days before the date of the booking, just to make sure my schedule is clear. When it is time for a bathroom break I always make sure to be present and always keep an eye on every pet at all times. Their safety is a top priority to me. If a client requests that their pet must be on a leash, I will fulfill that request. Supervision during feedings are also very important to me. When out on walks, I will make sure every pet is on a leash and that we are in a safe environment for the walk. I always check the weather forecast as well. It is important to always be alert of the surroundings including traffic, other pets that are around, and of course people. Safety and trust are always a priority, and I always want to keep the pets under my care in the safest environment. I am always open for special accommodations:). (If you would like a meeting before the actual booking I am always open for that)

About: Having dogs all my life, I’ve gotten to experience puppies as young as a month to seniors as old as 12 years who need medication and other assistance. My family cat right now is 16! I’ve been around rescues mostly which can be a toss up as far as demeanor and behavior but with patience and empathy, anything is possible. I’ve participated in training for my own dogs before so I’ve learned some dog behavior to better accommodate them. I’m currently on the job hunt! But in the meantime I’ll be splitting my time between caring for my own two dogs and caring for yours ❤️ I’m available pretty readily unless I have a job interview scheduled. I would love to care for your pet in your own home! I find that it usually isint so overwhelming when they already have to meet someone new. I’ve stayed overnights, and during long stretches during the day before. I can offer my own home and backyard but my dogs aren’t too keen on sharing so the extra charge would to arrange their stay at my parents.

About: When my Red Heeler was still with us she, taught me how to walk a high energy dog. If your pup is an eager walker, we’ll do just fine. An eager pup just has a world to explore. I also grew up with a Tea Cup Yorke. She loved to walk, but it was at her own pace. She was an incredibly wonderful dog to grow up with. She thoroughly enjoyed wrestling and playing with her rope. I’ll be sure to follow your preferences regarding how to care for your Dog. Thank you for trusting me with your fur baby. I am looking forward to getting to know your pup and to helping your fur baby get some extra energy out.

“She is great with my dog Lady! Will use her again and again!”

“Brytan is awesome - she has been great with Georgie and he loves her visits! She has been so so flexible with my evolving work schedule too! Will definitely continue to use her and recommend her for services to anyone who needs puppy pet care!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in high school and continue to do so today. I have three Shih Tzu’s but we’ve also had big dogs in the past so we are familiar with caring for large and small dogs. I will be solely be responsible for walking and taking care of your pets I’m currently unemployed and will be working part-time later in the fall, but I have lots of availability to pop in and take your fur baby for a walk or please let them out and give them company if it’s too hot or cold outside to walk I walk my dogs on leashes several times a day I do not have a fenced in yard so they are always on leash when they go outside I would prefer to walk your dog on a leash or if you have a fenced in yard can also let them out in the yard that is fenced

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, especially Boston Terriers, so being around them has always been second nature to me. While I was in college, I lived with an Aussiedoodle, which gave me experience caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed as well. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and can guarantee they'll get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while they're in my care. My current dog has Crohn's disease and struggles with anxiety, so I'm very comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, administering extra attention, and following specific care routines. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a dog of my own, so I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets every day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to stay at your home full-time if needed and let your dog out frequently for potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I'm committed to following their schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. For overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stay in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar environment, which helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take them outside for potty breaks as often as needed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. If your pet has any medications or special care instructions, I'm happy to follow those as well. I'll also keep your home clean and respect it as if it were my own, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Kaitlyn has been wonderful!! My dog, Wilson, is prone to anxiety and shyness and she was always so gentle and attentive with him. She understood his needs and took the time to get to know him and make him feel more at ease. It means a lot to have someone who’s willing to work with him where he’s at. She’s consistent, punctual, and an honest and diligent person. She took good care of my shy guy when I wasn’t able to be home at a decent time. Definitely a wholehearted recommendation for Kaitlyn!!!”

“Emily was fantastic! We have 1 very reactive dog so it is a bit of a challenge to get her acclimated to new people. Emily had such a calming presence and was so patient with our dog. She communicated very well and followed all instructions. We have already booked Emily for more trips and visits.”

About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.

About: Hi, I’m Brie! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from volunteering as a dog walker at the APA shelter to sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a college cross country and track athlete, so I love running with high-energy pups who need more than just a stroll. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or snuggles, I tailor care to each dog’s personality. With two dogs of my own, I know how important it is to find someone reliable, active, and loving. Your dog will be treated like family! Weekdays: Dog walking & drop-in visits Weekends: Overnight sitting & extended care Winter & Summer Breaks: Open availability for sitting, walking, and extended care Also available in Webster Groves Your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority. I create a calm, secure environment where pups feel at ease—whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always prioritize safety on walks and during play. With years of experience and two dogs of my own, I understand how important trust is. I treat every dog like family, offering gentle guidance, positive reinforcement, and a space where they can thrive physically and emotionally
