“First time using Rover and Caroline was amazing!!! She was very attentive and sent me so many pictures.”


“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”


“My dog loves Morgan!”


“Jamie has been our constant for the last four months. He is reliable, communicates well and shows my babies sooo much love and kindness everyday. I could not be more comfortable and trusting of him and the genuine care he shows me and my pups every single day. Thank you Jamie, you are truly a blessing in our lives!”


“I can't even begin to count how many times I've relied on Alex's services for my dog, Bella. Not only does Bella always come back looking incredibly happy, but she also displays an unmatched level of excitement every time she catches sight of Alex stepping out of his car on our street. It's as if she knows she's about to embark on an extraordinary adventure with him!”

About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.


“Kyani handled my 71lb puppy with ease. She is incredibly observant, knowledgeable and experienced. I was nervous about finding someone to handle my rambunctious pup but she was amazing. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH”



“Jingru took the time to know the dogs and their behavior before walking. Reached out when there was rain in the forecast to coordinate the best time to walk the dogs as I had mentioned they are uncomfortable with rain. Excellent communication throughout the whole process with a focus on the best experience for the dogs.”


“Very responsive, responsible and punctual. My dog is usually shy but very quickly warmed up to her. It is clear she has lots of experience working with dogs.”


About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, female and male, kittens/puppies being bottle fed, middle aged animals, and seniors taking medication. I also have experience with aggressive cats specifically. My name is Mary by everyone calls me Mae. My pronouns are They/Them. I am looking to earn money through my passions. One of those is helping animals! I am available any time necessary to do checkups on your animal(s)! I make sure their water is always full, that they aren't over or underfed, and that they've had plenty of bathroom breaks, playtime, and cuddles! I'll give them treats if you let me too!


“Sarah has been fantastic! She’s really good with both of my pups despite them having polar opposite personalities. She’s very professional and a great communicator. Would highly recommend.”


“Shannon is lovely - took excellent care of our dog. Punctual and professional. Very relieved to have someone so dependable in the neighborhood!”


About: ** Please contact me to see what city I'm in** I’ve been helping friends and family with pet sitting for over 10 years. Dogs, cats, young, old, mellow, energetic, you name it. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, basic training, and even some light meds. I tend to adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means playtime in the yard or quiet companionship around the house. After a workplace injury led to a layoff from my tech job, I decided to take some time to travel, visit family & friends across the country, and shift into remote work. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this new chapter of life! I’ve got the flexibility to take it seriously and the calm presence that helps animals feel safe. Most pets warm up to me pretty quickly, and I enjoy their company just as much! **Please contact me to see what city I'm in - My profile may not have updated** Since I’m traveling full-time and working remotely on my own projects, I have a pretty open schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, getting in a few walks, or just being around to keep them company, I’m usually nearby and available. I’m not rushing out to an office or juggling a bunch of local obligations, so your pets get a lot of attention and care. I treat every home with care and respect. Like a guest who knows the rules… I don’t go into rooms I don’t need to, and I always follow any guidelines or preferences the owner shares. I clean up after myself, stick to the pet’s routine, and do what I can to keep the home safe and comfortable while you're away. That includes things like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and keeping everything looking lived-in so the place doesn’t appear empty.

About: I have owned/taken care of dogs/cats for the last 12 years. I have always enjoyed taking care of pets and appreciate how much joy pets can bring into people's lives. I'm available Mondays, Thursday or Fridays for pet visits or dog walking. I can also be available Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (after 4pm) with enough notice Will care your pet as if it is my own. Can feed pets meals/take for bathroom breaks/change litter/give medication. Comfortable with any breed/size of dog.

“I highly recommend Jared and will use him again”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home and have cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors since I was young. I currently have a guinea pig and truly enjoy caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing pets—and I’m always eager to learn about other animals to provide the best care possible. I’m currently not working, so I have open availability to care for your pets! I’m flexible and can provide walks, drop-in visits, or in-home sitting during weekdays and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, a potty break, or some extra love while you’re away—I’ve got it covered! I care for pets in their own homes to help them feel safe and comfortable in a familiar space. I follow your routine closely—whether it’s feedings, medications, or quiet time for shy pets. I’m clean, respectful, and treat your home and fur babies like my own.

About: I have many years of experience working with animals in pet sitting and hospital settings. Ive worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and special needs. I have experience administrating oral and injection type medications. Ever since I was little, I’ve grown up around animals of all sizes and absolutely love working with them! I was a student-athlete in undergrad so I live a very active lifestyle. Hyper dogs are no problem for me! (I have one myself!) I am a quick learner, very hard working, patient, and strong for my size. I am tidy, organized, and have good communication skills. I am currently in veterinary school so my availability is limited to when I am home for breaks. When home, my availability is pretty wide open :) I treat your pets like they are my own! Being away from your fur babies can be stressful on both of you. I’ll send pictures, keep you updated, and leave the house cleaner than I found it :)

“Sebastian does a great job with my dog.”


About: I grew up with two amazing dogs, Lassie and Maci. They weren’t just pets—they were my best friends. We spent years together playing, learning, and building a bond that taught me more than I ever expected: unconditional love, loyalty, trust, and how much joy a dog can bring into your life. Although I can’t have pets in my home right now, I miss that companionship every day—which is why I’d love to help you care for your furry family member. I know how much they mean to you, and I understand that with busy schedules, sometimes time just isn’t on our side. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I work full-time remotely, which means I’m flexible during the day, especially in the evenings, early mornings, and weekends. I’d be happy to help with drop-in visits or dog walking—whenever it fits both your schedule and your pet’s needs. I live in the La Fayette neighborhood and can take your dog for walks either around here or in your neighborhood—whichever works best for you. I’m also happy to do drop-in visits at your home, especially when you’re traveling and want someone reliable to care for your beloved pet.


“Candace is a great dog walker. Reliable, calm, and good with our pup. She keeps me informed with pictures or a text. She understands how to adjust to changing weather and Ruby’s needs. Our dog means the world to us and we trust her and can count on her. And Ruby likes her too!”

“Amy is a wonderful pet-sitter. Very reliable and professional. My pets love her. She is very calm and patient with the dogs, even if they are misbehaving.

Amy had the patience and gentle demeanor that my dog needed to feel safe and comfortable.
