Pet Sitting in Forest Park

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m patient, gentle, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets lots of attention while you’re away. I’m a student with a flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekends. My class schedule varies, but I keep my calendar updated and will always communicate availability clearly. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and I always provide updates so you know they’re in good hands.

“Nichelle was so amazing to my crazy little dog! He gave her a bit of a rough start but she stuck around and was so patient and understanding. She kept me updated every single time and eased my worries and knew how to handle him. She gave him so much love and even revived his toy he tore up and left him treats when her visits were over. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, super kind with great communication!”

“Jenny was amazing with our timid girl, very patient and went above and beyond. This is our first experience using Rover and we lucked out with Jenny. We will definitely book with her again!!”

“Dakota is super responsive and so helpful when we need a last minute sitter! He always sends updates! Thank you so much again! We appreciate you so much!”

Brittani W.

“We highly recommend Nick! My dogs immediately took to him. He’s a calm and mature person who instinctively knows how to effectively handle pets and any situation. We will be using him for in-home pet care and more.”

“Kelsey is my new go-to for pet sitting! She took wonderful care of my two cats and was so kind and communicative. Loved the daily pictures she sent. Thank you, Kelsey!”

Liana W.

“Syvana was great! She came by for daily play visits while we were out of town, and we could tell our cat was well cared for. She cleaned her litterbox also. We’ll rebook with her again and definitely recommend her!”

“This is my third time with Victoria. She's amazing. It took her two days to find my super shy Kitty but she did. And that's not on Victoria, that's on Kitty being an excellent hider. They were all well fed well loved well taken care of.. I'm using her again in 3 weeks. Highly recommend Victoria.”

Sharon W.

“Christen was great! She checked in on my cat Christopher several times while I was out of town. Each time, she made sure his litter, food, and water were in good order, took several pictures, and provided a nice write up. Chris is normally fairly shy, but he seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly. Christen was also great at communicating—she always gave me a heads when needed. I'd definitely recommend her!”

Evan P.

“Olivia was great! Always on time, posted lots of updates and pics, and extremely good at communicating. I’d definitely recommend her and plan on having her help out in the future.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals thanks to both of my grandparents being veterinarians, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve spent years around dogs, cats, birds, and animals with different personalities and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, senior pet care, and making nervous pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and always focus on keeping them happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving them personalized care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and check-ins without leaving pets alone for long periods. Having a flexible schedule also helps me adapt to each pet’s specific needs and routine, whether they’re energetic and active or prefer a calmer environment with companionship and attention throughout the day. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a clean environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and doing well. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, supervised environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means active playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or extra patience with shy or senior pets. Because I grew up around veterinary care through my grandparents, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and handling a variety of pet care routines responsibly and attentively.

“I can’t recommend Grace enough! She was great at communicating with us throughout her drop ins and went above and beyond. I appreciated her taking time to play with our dogs and her attention to detail making sure to cater to each of our dog’s individual needs! I loved all the pictures she sent after each visit! We will definitely be using Grace again for our pups 🙂”

About: I’ve personally trained my last two Dalmatians, and my current one is in service dog training—so I’m very comfortable working with dogs at different training levels, including puppies. I’ve also volunteered and fostered for the Humane Society, working with dogs from abusive backgrounds. Helping them recover and find loving homes has given me valuable experience with fearful or reactive dogs. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience and extra care they may need. For added peace of mind, I have a storm shelter on-site—if there’s a tornado warning, I’ll do everything I can to safely bring your dog in with me. While my profile shows a 2-dog limit, that’s mainly to allow for some overlap during drop-offs and pick-ups. If you have more than two dogs from the same household, I’m happy to accommodate them all. I primarily work part time from home and will be able to give your pet all the attention they may need. I can do just daycare or over night if you need. At my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a 5 to 6-foot-high fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. I’m always outside with the dogs—partly because my own diva Dalmatian insists I be there, too! I have two very friendly, high-energy Dalmatians who love to play and are great at tiring out their new friends. I also have two crates available if needed for rest, feeding, or downtime. Your pet's comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.

“Madalyn has a gift. My Zeaky is afraid of everyone and he just loves her! She’s always on time and so sweet to all 3 of my fur babies. We are so lucky to have found her!”

Ashley S.

“Emily was super kind and it was visible in Duke that he enjoyed his time with Emily and was well taken care of! The pictures taken were always so nice and transparent. It was a good experience to book with Emily!”

Shirley D.

“Exceptional service. We’ve used Anna twice, and we highly recommend her. She is great with animals (even our large & very energetic puppy), provides consistent updates, and is the exact type of person you feel comfortable with being in your house when you are away. 10/10, look no further!”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for years and have a strong background in veterinary medicine, which sets me apart from other sitters. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those with medical needs. I have experience administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their well-being. I work full time at a vet clinic but I am able to stop in and care for pets in between. I can do morning and evening check ins with potential afternoon Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and stress-free in their own home. With my veterinary experience, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and needs, including administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort. I always approach pets calmly and patiently, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“This was my first time having to find a cat sitter and Taylor was great! I was away for about 4 days but she was communicative throughout and followed instructions. My cat warmed up to her pretty quick too. Will be using her services again.”

“This is the second time Carrie has stopped in on our pets. We are very happy with her. She gives the pets a lot of attention and care and is very communicative with us. We will be using her again!”

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Dalmatians. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes and will treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I am currently working 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM Monday through Thursday and home all day Friday - Sunday. My husband is currently working part time and is home during most of the hours I am not. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly midsized dog named Luna. There are two dog parks 10 minutes from my home where I take Luna a couple times a week. All dogs get fed and watered twice a day or as otherwise instructed.
