Pet Sitting in East Saint Louis

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kyani. She took amazing care of our fur babies and it shows, they were always so excited to see her. She is a great communicator and sent us daily updates and pictures of our babies. She also took such great care of our home, even bringing packages in and ensuring our robovaccum doesn’t her stuck. I would absolutely hire her again and you should too!”

About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone new, and I don’t take that lightly. I provide regular updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, exercised, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals most of my life, including feeding, walking, bathing, and administering medication. I grew up caring for our family dog and have also worked with puppies, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve always been the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for both dogs and other pets. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you and as comfortable and consistent as possible for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your babies soon! I am currently looking to do Rover full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule for new clients and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I’m known for sending lots of updates and being very attentive, even in unexpected situations. I am aware that every pet is different and may have unique needs for me to attend to. Having two of my own dogs at home, I understand how to maintain a safe and happy environment for your pets. I’m very attentive to pet safety, including diet, environment, and any specific needs your pet may have.

“Rebekah did an amazing job with our cats, we're so glad we found her! She connected with them so fast, it was impressive, specially with my shy cat, she won them both over and manage to gain their trust since day one, even our shy cat came out of his hiding spot to get treats which is sooooo rare with new people, the updates were amazing, she left everything so nice and clean, she took such good care of my babies, makes being away way easier. We appreciate you Rebekah! Will definitely recommend.”

“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 was a great help and captured some entertaining and sweet pictures of my 3 cats while I was away. One of my cats has medical needs that always leaves me anxious when I'm away. But Abby's detailed updates each visit really helped ease that anxiety. Which also allowed me to enjoy my trip more. All 3 cats were taken care of wonderfully!”

“Jamie is an excellent cat sitter. He is dedicated and absolutely trustworthy. He has taken good care of my kitty, Felicia, numerous times. He always makes sure that she has everything that she needs. He is patient with her little quirks and moodiness whenever I am away. He always sends detailed updates and pictures to let me know how she is doing after each visit. I strongly recommend Jamie as a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Jill took great care of my senior cats. Kailani, who was a shy cat when we got her in February was demanding hugs and tickles, something I never thought would happen. Uno we have had for about a month and a half, was a little more reserved, but she did eat a let Evelyn give her some attention. I highly recommend Jill with your pet sitting needs. Jill kept us informed and sent a lot of pictures with every visit. It is such a relief to know my cats were in great hands. Thank you Jill and girls!”

“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”

“Phoebe was available for a very last minute booking and took great care of our dog! She communicated frequently and sent pictures. We will definitely book Phoebe for drop in visits again!”

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.

About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve known I was meant to work with animals. It’s more than a passion—it’s my purpose. Pets have always brought me peace, joy, and fulfillment, whether they were mine or someone else’s. Over the years, I’ve raised everything from Great Danes to Pit-Husky mixes. I currently care for my special-needs English Mastiff, Kayser, and have supported senior and rescue dogs—each requiring patience, trust, and personalized care. Motivated by my commitment to animal well-being, I returned to school to pursue my dog training certification. I also hold certifications in animal welfare, pet CPR, and first aid. My approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and a strong belief in creating an informed, compassionate pet guardian community. My mission is to be a bridge between animals and their guardians—prioritizing not just obedience, but behavioral health, emotional enrichment, and the deeper bond that comes from truly understanding and nurturing the whole animal. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine, so I’ve learned to build my schedule around it. I’m usually up early to handle morning feedings, walks, and check-ins, which leaves me available mid-morning through early afternoon for appointments, training sessions, or visits. I also keep some flexibility in the evenings and weekends for clients who need extra support or who have specific routines for their pets. Because animals are part of my daily life, fitting in care—whether mine or someone else’s—comes naturally. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I’d want in my own. I stick closely to the routines the pet is familiar with—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime—because consistency helps them feel secure. I take my time to build trust with each animal, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy, so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. My goal is always to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while giving families peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands.

About: I have a Bachelor of Science in Zoology, experienced in animal husbandry, and experience as a veterinary assistant. Since I was little, I have always loved caring for animals of varying species. My time as a veterinary assistant helped me to gain experience in handling large and small dogs, and cats, giving medication, walking dogs, calming and soothing cats and much more. While going to school for my Zoology degree, my neighbors, friends and co-workers would often rely on me to watch their pets. My responsibilities included: checking in multiple times a day, staying at the owners house, boarding dogs, feeding on a schedule, administering medication, daily walks, and the occasional bath and/or nail trim. I am currently a Barre 3 instructor part time and a full time stay at home artist. My schedule is flexible and am able to care for your pets during various times of the day. In my home, the pets are extremely well taken care of. They are given ample amount of time outside to release their energy as well as lots of time for cuddling. My home is full of calm and loving energy where the animals are free to relax. While caring for your pets in your home, I believe in keeping them as close to their normal routine as possible. I enjoy letting the animals adjust to me slowly so I am able to gain their trust and confidence.

“Catelyn was amazing with my two elderly cats. Even the antisocial one loved her! She sent me daily updates with pictures. Catelyn was wonderful and made my vacation stress-free.”

About: I'm a retired EMT and now an empty nester, pouring all my love into the world of animal care. I used to run a dog daycare at a big boarding facility, where I also got pretty good at grooming. But honestly, my love for dogs goes way beyond work—I'm a proud mom of four fur babies. I've got two amazing working dogs: a Malinois who's all about protection work and a Plott Hound who's training in scent detection. My other two pups are more laid-back—they're experts in treat inspections and bed testing, making sure everything's just right! With tons of experience in dog handling, both on the job and at home, I'm all about taking care of animals and making them happy. Whether it's training, grooming, or just giving them tons of love, my passion for animal care is what keeps me going every day. I am recently an empty nester and retired EMT. I have decided to dedicate my time to caring for pets and I love every minute of it. I am excited to meet your fur babies. I have worked in the pet care industry for many years. Safety is my number one concern. I love my dogs, and I know how much you love your pets. With that being said I want to make sure your pets are happy and safe.

“Jacqueline was great with Momo! She was quick to respond to my messages over the holidays and attentive when following Momo’s specific meal routine.”
