About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.

“Evelyn was very communicative and took very good care of our girl. Our senior dog has some quirks and special requests, and Evelyn had no issues, making our time away stress free.”

“Julia was amazing! We had her house sit and watch our two dogs! She was great at communicating and sending pupdates! They seemed have and content when we got home! Would highly recommend her!”


“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”

“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”

“Bri was so easy to work with! She was communicative, reliable, and our pets absolutely adored her. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt so comfortable with her taking care of things for us. Our pets have never been less stressed out while we were away; they were immediately comfortable with her which says a lot (small neurotic dog and finicky cat). We're so thrilled to have found her.”


“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”

“TORI was absolutely amazing! She was so thoughtful and caring for my cat and sent me such lovely little updates. I have an elderly cat so there are some little quirks in her care and routine - Tori was absolutely on point with providing seamless care while I was gone. I would definitely recommend booking with. I know I will be again soon!”

“Emilee was fantastic with Ferguson while I was out of the country for six days. She followed his specific feeding instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout the entire trip with photos and check-ins which genuinely put my mind at ease being so far away. She was also housesitting at my place and left the apartment in great shape. Couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend!”

“I went out of town for a couple of days and Emily stayed at my place watching my dog Leo. She was so responsive and caring. She also sent daily updates and pictures. Emily was so sweet with Leo I will definitely have who come watch him again she I’m out of town ❤️❤️”


“We are so grateful for this team! They do such a wonderful job with our Batman who needs special attention and care. Thank you again! They go above and beyond and when you come home you can feel relaxed.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Paige took care of my pup exactly the way you would want someone to. She’s sincere and genuine. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks for being awesome, Paige!”

“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Gabrielle was just the right amount of communicative! She took great care of our dog while we were away and the house looked great. Would definitely book again.”

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I work at a restaurant so have a somewhat flexible schedule. I can do drop ins, overnights, and walks. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 18. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like my own and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive - whether that means providing gentle, thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medications, or extra reassurance; or entertaining and providing playful care that helps puppies feel secure and supported. My goal is always to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, happy experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside school. I’m a physical therapy student with a consistent school schedule from 8am–5pm, which allows me to dedicate my evenings and weekends fully to pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m organized, reliable, and intentional about my time, so pets in my care receive focused attention, exercise, and companionship when I’m available, without feeling rushed. I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, walk and exercise pets appropriately, and make sure they receive plenty of affection and supervision. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting training or routines, and adjusting care for puppies or senior pets as needed. I also prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, keeping owners updated so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Haley did a great job house sitting and caring for our 2 cats and 1 dog. We appreciate that she communicated clearly, and it was easy to establish what care we were looking for and what she was available to provide. She was also really friendly, asked questions and responded to our questions promptly. We will definitely book her in the future. Thank you, Haley!

Caitlin was fantastic and I felt my Maine Coon cat was in great hands while I was out of town. She is very warm and friendly, and Hibachi was comfortable with Caitlin right from the start. Knowing he was getting a lot attention and love allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip even more. I recommend her without reservation.

This was the first time Gaby watched my three large dogs, and I am highly impressed. She made a great impression with a meeting before the trip (to ensure her and the dogs were comfortable with each other). She sent plenty of photos and updates. She was able to accommodate for my dog’s specific needs by feeding in separate rooms (due to history of resource guarding). I highly recommend using her to watch your beloved pets!

Here's a warm, genuine review you could post: Hannah took such wonderful care of our dogs, Bowie and Django, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly treated our dogs with genuine kindness and attention. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and that's the best feeling as pet owners. We're incredibly grateful for Hannah and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!

Jason did a terrific job. He made an immediate connection with our dogs and was very mindful of instructions for the care of our senior dog that requires additional attention. He stayed in constant communication with us and left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!

Emily was the perfect person for my dog Butters when I went on a trip! This was my first time having someone staying at my house and it was great for my senior dog to be in a comfortable environment. She was super friendly and kind. She sent updates on their cuddle sessions, cute pics, took him for a pup cup and you can tell she really loves dogs! Also she left everything exactly how I left and was very communicative. Highly recommend Emily! Would absolutely love to have her watch my dog on my next trip away.
