“Alexandra was wonderful with my large number of pets, always sent nice updates for peace of mind. Excellent with one of my dogs who is very nervous with new people! Will definitely use her anytime for future needs, can’t recommend her enough”


“Ashley was amazing! Our outdoor kitty was home alone while we traveled and we didn't want her to feel abandoned. Ashley came every morning, checked in on her and gave her some love. Perfect arrangement. We'll definitely ask Ashley for help again.”


About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

“Chloe was great! Came over and scooped a lot of litter boxes and checked on my kitties. They don’t like a lot of people, but she did find one of them hiding under the treadmill and sent a pic.”


“Elizabeth lovingly cares for our cat and always gives a thoughtful report each day. We appreciate her communication with us and the detailed care she provides Lucky. We are lucky to have found her!”


“Mackenzie checked in on my cats while I was on vacation. She was great! Sent updates and photos every day. I would recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a friendly and responsible pet-sitter. :)”



“Liane did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She was available on short notice and made time to come meet and greet ahead of time. Highly recommend and will request again in the future.”

About: I have always had a natural love for animals. Ever since I was a little girl, I have felt my purpose in life was to care for every kind of animal. I have had pets since I was 6 years old and I now have a dog of my very own. I am organized, efficient, and compassionate when tending to the needs of animals. I also previously worked at a veterinary hospital and doggy daycare. I learned lots of valuable information about animals and their needs. I also gained lots of experience of the “not-so-glamorous” tasks of maintaining the health and cleanliness of the pets’ environments. I am currently available for pet care in the evenings after 5pm Monday through Thursday. I can check in and take your pet for a walk, feed them dinner, and play.

About: Hello there! I am a lifelong animal love with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether its energetic puppies, timid rescues, or senior dogs needing a slower pace, I take pride in providing care that is catered towards your dog's specific needs. I have grown up around dogs ranging from smaller dogs like Yorkies and Pomeranians, to larger dogs like Golden Retrievers and Huskys. I also understand the importance of building trust with animals and their owners included. I treat every pet like family! Whether it's a walk around the block or overnight sitting, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I stick to your routine, provide regular updates, and always go the extra mile. These are your furbabies and I intend to treat them as such. I am currently not working and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your fur babies. I am a good communicator and can keep in close contact with you as well. I am not offering pet services out of my home at this time. However I am more than happy to come to you to give your pets the care they need.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I currently have a dog named Rocko who is more like a daughter than a pet to me. I also have 2 adorable cats, one is 22 years old and the other is 5. I have always had passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets throughout my entire life. I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes from an Australian husky mix to laber doodles. I also believe a healthy pup is an active pup so I would love to take yours out on a walk. Side note: I also offer grooming during house stays for an additional fee! I’m currently available anytime to look after your fury family while you’re away! Or if you just need a reliable animal lover to take your dog on a walk. A walk a day keeps the vet away! When watching your fur baby I will send you updates and pictures of how they’re doing, and fill you in on any activities we did together. I’ll also follow any guidelines left for me by the owner. If they’re staying at my house they will have to be leashed when outside. When inside they are free to explore and play and I can also crate them if needed.

Makayla O.
“Makayla was great with my two dogs, Henry and Major! She house-sat for 5 days while I had to make an unexpected trip. Henry was in a cone and on exercise restriction for wound healing while I was gone, so leaving him made me nervous. However, after learning about her current experience in veterinary medicine it gave me peace of mind. She handled the situation perfectly and kept me updated on his recovery. They both loved her! I highly recommend booking with Makayla- you will not be disappointed.”
