“Emilee watched Ferguson for me again while I was traveling internationally, and once again she knocked it out of the park. It's such a relief having someone you can fully trust with both your dog and your home. Knowing I'd come back to Ferg happy and my place exactly as I left it made the whole trip so much more enjoyable. She's my go-to and I can't recommend her enough.”

“Savannah was amazing. Highly recommended as someone to help take care of your pets and home. Very conscientious and walked our dog five times every day and played with her tons, sending pictures and video updates all the time.”

“Laura was amazing with Riley! We had another sitter cancel on us last minute, but Laura stepped up and saved the day. She is very responsive, attentive, and gave us updates multiple times per day on how our girl was doing while we were away. We will definitely be using her for future vacations/trips…we know our pup will be in great hands! Thank you Laura 😌”


About: I'm 31 years old and have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager. Not necessarily in a professional setting, but I have years of experience pet sitting for my friends and family. Walking, bathing/grooming, training, administering medicine, etc - I can do it all. I currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of my own + tons of extra love/time on my hands during the week for your fur family. Ask me anything, I'm an open book! I have the most availability Saturday/Sunday evenings and Monday - Friday in the afternoons between 3 PM - 8 PM. There are a few week day mornings that I will have available starting at 8 AM (depending on when I get scheduled to work my other job) I live a block away from Tower Grove Park and will happily take dogs there to get some steps in! I have a backyard that is not fenced in, so they will be leashed if taken out back to go potty. There is a large crate here if that's ever needed. They are welcome to lay on my couch and bed, but there is a dog bed available as well + plenty of toys for them to chew and feel right at home with.
“I booked Tayler for my cat who has kidney failure and she put my mind at ease with her experience in caring for kidney cats, administering fluids, and her sheer love for animals! I would highly recommend booking Tayler again because I know my baby is in good hands with her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 6 years including my own dogs. I have walked, fed, medicated and cared for all size dogs! From big sweet Argentinian Dogos to small and fiery Chihuahuas. My own Frenchie is epileptic and has severe allergic reactions which has given me experience with sick pets. I am always on watch and careful when on walks! I will care for your pet like one of my own. I currently work 3 days a week as a registered nurse! I have my other 4 days off to care for your pet. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate last minute bookings as well. I am able to provide loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and plenty of affection. I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also treat every client’s home with respect, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos!
“Ella is AMAZING! She kept us very updated with pictures of our dog and how she was doing. She was very communicative and responded quickly. We will definitely be using her again in the future 😊”

“Sheldin is an amazing cat sitter! I had a last minute cancellation and was super nervous about leaving my baby alone since she recently got diagnosed with a heart disease. Sheldin agreed to watch her and even came earlier to chat about her habits, routine and things to watch out for. My cat is very shy around new people but she liked Sheldin so much she gave her a morning cuddle. I would definitely have her watch my baby again. If you’re in doubt about having Sheldin pet sit for you, don’t be, she’s very caring and I came home to a happy and alert kitty!”


About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve been around different types of pets, especially dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I work full-time, but I work from home on Fridays and have more flexibility on weekends. I enjoy staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, so dog walking and pet sitting are things I would genuinely enjoy doing. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Well Fridays I work from home so it would easy, Saturdays and sundays I usually do Pilates so it would actually keep me busy in a way I work from home on Fridays, which gives me more flexibility to care for pets. I’m also available on weekends. I usually spend my weekends doing Pilates and staying active, so pet sitting and dog walking would fit nicely into my routine. I live near the Soulard area, which is a great place for walks. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. I follow the owner’s instructions and do my best to keep their pets on their normal routine.
“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”

“Asia did a great job caring for my fur babies! She did great with applying ointment and giving extra care to my dog while she was in a cone (a last-minute change after our meet and greet 🥴). She kept me updated with daily photos. Thanks, Asia!”

“Marsha cared and entertained our exuberant 1 year 3 month old King Charles/ Irish Setter for 5 days. She noticed a stick he had chewed got caught in the roof of his mouth and removed it quickly. She took charge quickly and communicated about Murphy’ care daily and reassured us with short videos. Our cat also benefitted from her expert care. I heartily recommend Marsha for house sitting and am grateful she watched over Murphy and our cat Chase. Thank you, Marsha.”


About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and trained one dog growing up. I have experience walking neighbors dogs and house-sitting for friends and family. Love all dogs! I’m currently working, and evenings and weekends are the most free for me. My schedule will free up significantly around the summer time. I grew up with dogs and have been missing them dearly, so I am excited to have more furry friends in my life! I love taking dogs for walks. I’ll always leash up before opening the door. On walks, I’ll follow whatever style of interaction your pet is used to. I’ve walked dogs who are friendly to other dogs and people and dogs who are not- so I’ve had experience on both ends of the spectrum. It is helpful to know what their dog typically does on a given day, any information is appreciated :). I love to be active and play with dogs, but also respect downtime to rest.
“Jayde was amazing. She helped us last minute when our normal sitter wasn’t available. She gave both our boys the cuddles, scritches, love and attention they need while we were away. Thank you so much Jayde! We appreciate you!”

“This was our second time having KB housesit and she was once again amazing. She took amazing care of our dog and our house. Our pup got a few adventures, attentive care, and was happy and healthy when we got home. Our house was also spotless. She was communicative and followed all of our instructions to a t. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands.”

Rebecca was terrific. One of my two dogs can be pretty challenging, and Rebecca was able to find a routine that worked for both her and the dogs. She was calm and professional and kept me very fully informed about the dogs while we were away. She also stepped up at the last minute, after the scheduled sitter had an emergency. I greatly appreciated all of her efforts to take care of my doggies. I highly recommend her.

Haley was great and I’m thrilled we’ve found her for future pet sitting needs! She was very communicative, sending lots of pictures of our boy having a great time while we were away. She also left our house spotless with a personalized review of her own about everything she got up to over the weekend with our dog and what she liked about staying at our house! As a snake owner, I also really appreciate that she’s excited about non-traditional pets!

Maureen was amazing! My dog Busy loved her and was treated so well. Maureen was awesome with communication and sent a ton of great pictures. She also took great care of my house and everything was at least as clean as when i left. definitely highly recommended for in-home pet sitting and any other pet care you need. eleventy stars!

Zach was amazing! He was incredibly flexible and accommodating as my departure and arrival plans changed. He also sent me pictures of my two boys every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. My dog can be a handful since he’s large and has a lot of energy, but Zach handled him with ease, and there didn’t seem to be any issues at all. When I got home, my apartment was very clean, and most importantly, my boys were happy and well cared for. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to care for their pets!

Wow Kellin was amazing. She came to meet everyone when we booked and then again a few days before our trip. She got our dog to take her medicine so well and kept us updated as our dog was having a bit of an arthritis flare. We also got a 24 hour + flight delay and Kellin was willing to last minute stay an extra night which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely use and recommend her again!

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!
