“Jill was so great for our three cats! She took care of all their little quirks, cleaned all four litterboxes, gave one of our cats accurate medication, and just generally loved on them for the few days we were gone. I loved getting all the photos of my fur babies knowing they were so well taken care of! We will definitely hire her again!”
“She did not lie when she said she was “The Cat Lady” lol. She was amazing to our 2 fur babies and welcomed them in and treated like her own. She communicated very well, she didn’t judge when I came in with instructions on their feeling schedule lol and she was very sweet. A great experience overall. Thank you”
“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
“Jamie was such a rockstar! We had a last minute change of plans around kitten care that meant we were looking for help the day before our trip. Jaimie swooped in like a hero and saved the day. He was friendly, communicative, thorough, and sent us dozens of photos of our happy kittens during his visits. I also really love that he sent a photo of their food bowl and empty litter box each visit as well. When we returned it was to happy, healthy kittens, and everything in the house as it should be. We couldn't have been more thrilled.”
“Rachael is the best! Our pets love having her there for lots of snuggling and playing! She’s always respectful of the house and we feel super safe with her there. Thanks for treating our babies like your own ❤️”
About: I have been dog walking at the APA of Missouri every weekend from 12–2, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m excited to bring that same care and attention to your dog! I’m a college student living in St. Louis for the summer with a very flexible schedule. I genuinely love caring for all animals and am available to start right away! I always make sure pets in my care feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I now have a friendly, 1-year-old spayed female dog who gets along well with others. I provide a calm, quiet environment and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Pets in my home will get individual attention, and I’ll ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Sarah was great with Wallace! He’s a little skittish (or a lot - he hid under my couch) around new people but she worked with him and definitely earned his trust. Really appreciated the in depth visit descriptions that definitely helped put my mind at ease.”
“This was our second time using Morgan’s services for our 2 cats and she was amazing once again! We always felt our cats were in good hands and were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were well taken care of! Thanks again Morgan!”
“If there’d been a 10-star rating option for this sitter, I’d have selected it expeditiously! While I was away on a 10 day vacation halfway across the world, Michelle went beyond Rover expectations—she exceeded in every category, from feeding to cuddling to playing. She even cleaned and tidied up an unexpected accident my cat had left during her last visit. I’m super impressed and happily pleased with Michelle’s service. Would I ever rebook with her?. . .Is the sky blue? Yes 👏🏾 Yes 👏🏾 YES 🙌🏾”

“Abby has been a godsend for us. She’s been regularly taking my dogs out for months now and she is reliable, friendly, and a good communicator. She was especially heroic about a month ago when she arrived to discover one of my dogs having a stroke. She contacted me right away, was calm, thorough, and helpful, and I was able to come home to take my dog in to the vet. We’re fully recovered and I can’t even imagine where we’d be without Abby. I’d rebook her in a heartbeat.”
