Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Franz Park

“Riley was very detail oriented, prompt, and friendly and my cat warmed up to him immediately. He is going to be my #1 choice of sitter in St. Louis!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and since middle school have pets sat for many pets including dogs, cats, and birds. I am currently a dog walker volunteer at the Humane Society of Missouri where I have walked and enriched all breeds of dogs. In addition, I have walked all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am a big dog lover and can’t wait to help out in anyway I can! I have flexible hours outside of school class times and am happy to come in anytime to walk or drop in. I’m very patient, kind, and would happy to meet and greet before taking care of your pets! Reach out with any questions you may have. I currently work part-time and am a college student. During the week, I have early morning (6-8 AM), late afternoon and evening availability. I have all day availability on Saturday. My schedule will change soon once summer starts where I’ll have all week availability in the afternoons and evenings and Saturday and Sunday availability. Safety and trust are two very valuable qualities and I strive to meet those every time I meet a dog. I make sure to read dog’s body language, and understand their behavior and temperament. I am more than happy to walk dogs around most neighborhoods, drop in and care for your dog, and pet sit overnight on weekends. I love to walk and run around the Saint Louis County Area and parks around STL such as Forest Park and Tower Grove. I will make sure to meet all the needs of your dog, care for and love them, and take them on any adventures they want to.

“You can trust on Halle! Very professional and experienced. Would definitely recommend her to watch any of your pets.”

“Autumn was great with my 2 cats! It was the first time I’ve left them home while I had to go out of town and I’m a pretty nervous cat mom. Autumn was awesome about sending regular updates and photos, responding to my questions and keeping my cats very happy. I think they had more fun with her than they do when I’m home!”

“Megan was fantastic! We met up beforehand which was very much appreciated, she sent lots of pictures and great notes and my kitties are happy!”

“Janina was so communicative and attentive! Very grateful to have her watch my cats while I’m out of town and will definitely reach out in the future :)”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. From small breeds like chihuahuas to larger, high-energy dogs like huskies and from a lazy Garfield to grandma’s 20 feral house cats, I’ve had hands-on experience understanding different temperaments, exercise needs, and behaviors. Taking care of pets has always been second nature to me—feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and building trust with them. I also spent years working at a pet food center, where I learned more about pet nutrition, health basics, and how to help owners choose what’s best for their animals. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of overall pet care beyond just the basics. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs activity or a more relaxed cat that just wants companionship, I’m comfortable adapting to what each pet needs. I treat every animal like it’s my own. I work a standard 8-4 morning shift Monday-Friday. So I can easily make your pet fit my pre/post work schedule. I am also looking to expand into the weekends, so on those big grocery days or weekend getaways, I have you covered from one off drop in visits to daily walks and check-ins. I have worked with many animals that need medication and serious surveillance so I am able to administer whatever need your dog or cat might have. Doctors appointments, specialized food schedules, rehabilitation exercises, and more! I am not your typical house sitter, I am a trained and responsible professional that is passionate about making your pet feel healthy, happy, safe, and well!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have always loved stepping up to take care of them. Even as a child, I loved taking our family pug Olivia on walks and feeding her breakfast and dinner. I worked for a summer as a dog walker in Chicago, working with clients whose dogs had a variety of routines. Some pups had very specific routes that they needed to go on for their walks, and some needed to be trained to stop at crosswalks or walk on a specific side of the sidewalk. Now I'm a med student who loves to explore the city and all the beautiful outdoor spaces we have in St. Louis. I have had a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs, and I can't wait to get to know your fur baby! My school schedule changes by the week, but I am pretty reliably free from noon to 1pm during the week. Besides Wednesday afternoons, I have lots of free time during regular working hours to take your pet on a walk or check in on them at home, and I am also free during the day all weekend besides Sunday mornings. I have experience with all different personalities of dogs, including dogs like rescues who don't always like strangers or don't react well to different training techniques. I will always respect your dog's boundaries with physical touch/space, volume levels, eye contact, play time, and anything else that they are sensitive to.

“I booked Hope to care after my two cats, while I took a 5 day trip. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before I left and the cats were receptive to her very calm demeanor. That's a big plus when you introduce a new person to your pets. I have a cat with diabetes and needs insulin shots, twice a day. He can be uncooperative with others giving the shot, but she was successful on each occasion. I received timely updates after each of her visits and positive messages, which give assurance that all was ok back home. I was extremely happy with her care and will definitely hire her again.”

“Alyssa was great! She came on time to let Ollie and Zoey out and played with them during the stay. She also was able to meet last minute. I would recommend her!”

Sonya L.

“Danielle was absolutely amazing! Our boys 🐶 were beyond well taken care of. We loved our daily updates and photos. We could tell our dogs were comfortable and loved while we were gone. Highly recommend and we will definitely be a returning client!”

Sean C.

“Lauren was great! She saved me from worrying about my cats. She was always on time with visits and provided information for every visit. I felt our cats were well cared for...clean and happy! We also looked forward to the daily pictures! Thank you!!!”

Kimberly L.

“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”

Candis M.

“Very responsive and great with Maple!”

Aryn A.

“Megan is amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible! Fast response time and my dog Ruby loves her! I would highly recommend Megan and we will definately be having her over again!”

Kirsten H.

“Super helpful and followed instructions, will be using again!”

Michelle H.

“I always know my kitties are in great hands with Emily! She asks questions about there personalities, likes, dislikes, and really goes the extra mile.”

Shelby M.

“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”

Kevin S.

“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”

About: Currently live in south city. We enjoy endless number of walks around the neighborhood, indoor playtime with a collection of toys, and a fenced yard to freely run around. If your dog stays here, Ozzie, Louie, and I will welcome him/her with open paws. Ozzie is great at adjusting his level of energy to the other dog no matter the size or temperament. Louie also gets along with other dogs; just has a lot of energy. I give him free range of the house (still under a watchful eye and sense of what he's doing), so would prefer dogs that are at least house trained. You can count on receiving plenty of photos during their stay. I work from home full time during the week, but my schedule is super flexible. Same applies to drop off and pickup times as well Fenced in yard with free range of the house and furniture. When not home, I’ll confine them in the living room and kitchen. No crates needed unless he or she is more comfortable in it.
