About: If you're looking for someone to watch your pets while you're away, then look no further. I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Mackenzi was wonderful and took my pup on a nice long walk while I was away. I appreciated her quick responses and care of both Josie and my kitty! Would definitely recommend Mackenzi to care for your pets.”


About: I've had/taken care of dogs my whole life. My husband and I love dogs and have a big yard for them to run around in. We often dogsit for family and friends when they are out of town. We lost our fur baby a couple months ago due to old age and frankly we miss him and the energy he brought to our house. Your furbaby (or babies) would have a whole house to themselves and would have the full attention of a loving couple. We live in a great neighborhood for walks and have several parks nearby. Both my husband and I work full time jobs out of the house, but are never gone more than 8 hours at a time. Our routine with our recent furbaby would be walks and breakfast in the morning before work (around 8ish), a walk/play outside after work (around 4ish) and then a bathroom break outside before bed. On weekends we have more time to spend with your dog(s) We understand that every dog is special and has special needs! We are open to all care routines and any oddities your dog may have (we used to have to hide our trash can from our dog before leaving the house 😅). As long as you provide instructions, we feel confident managing any schedules, medical care, oddities, or routines. Your fur baby will be in a loving household that just misses having dogs around all the time.

“Jessica is amazing! Maggie absolutely loves her. She is so sweet and communicative and knows how to handle my anxious dog. She’s also very flexible and takes the best pictures to send me. We feel very lucky to have found Jessica!!”


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.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was in grade school. Whether it was my family's, friend's or random people on the street, I am always saying hi to animals! I am familiar and comfortable with all sizes, age, and all breeds of dogs. I have dog sat for a wide variety of dogs including: chihuahuas, wheaten terriers, labs, etc. I love going on walks outside and would love to add a dog by my side! I love playing, cuddling, and giving your dog a safe and fun environment. I currently work in healthcare and have early hours. I am usually off work around 2:30 on mon&tues, off around 3:30 on wed, and off around 12:30 pm on thurs-fri. My job is very flexible and my hours depend on surgery needs, so some week days I am off work completely. I am generally free on the weekends as well. I am very familiar with dog crates, leashes & collars. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them inside/outside, making sure they have fresh water & food, and of course giving them treats!

About: I had cats for most of my life, and volunteer at shelters. Clients often say their shy cat is surprisingly friendly with me. Many of my friends with pets think of me first to care for their animals when they are away. I have also cared for dogs and reptiles. My schedule is flexible during weekdays as well as weekends. I am available to set a routine with your pet or pop in as needed. I care for each pet the same as I would my own. They depend on us for care and love, whether it’s from their usual human, or their sitter. I am known to follow instructions to the letter, so please let me know how I can best care for your pet!

About: I've been taking care of animals for most of my life. I volunteered for several years before working at Austin Pets Alive! in Texas as a dog walker and cat caretaker. When friends, family, and neighbors need someone to watch their pets, they turn to me. I love all sorts of critters, I have a dog that is 4 years old and a lizard that is 6. If you need someone to watch animals other than cats and dogs, I am comfortable with working that out. I work Wed-Sat, so my best availability is on Sundays, Monday, Tuesdays. On those days, I am able to come multiple times in a day, whenever you specify. I can also come in Wed-Sat, however it would only be a morning and evening visit. I would ideally like to meet you and your pet beforehand. I usually take some time with the pet as soon as I arrive, to let them get used to just me. Calm, on their time, until we're both ready.
