“Barbara is so good with our kitties! She’s great at pilling them and leaves pictures and updates each day. She brings a bag of goodies for the kitties to play with and left us a thoughtful welcome home gift too! We are so glad we found her!”


“Holli did a great job of caring for our pets and home while we were gone. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to ask for clarification. We will definitely be requesting her to watch our pets in the future!”


“Abigail takes fantastic care of our babies, is super flexible, and is so quick to respond/easy to communicate with about anything day or night. We absolutely trust her to take care of them and wouldn't trade her for anyone!”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated dog owner, I bring a deep understanding of canine care, behavior, and well-being. I’ve worked at Kennelwood Pet Resorts, where I specialized in basic care, grooming, and daily upkeep, gaining valuable insight into dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m well-versed in reading dog body language, recognizing behavioral cues, and using gentle, effective methods to help dogs feel calm, safe, and happy. Whether it’s playtime, pampering, or just providing a peaceful presence, I’m passionate about making every dog feel their best. I am currently working full time, with my days off being Sunday and Wednesday. I am available at 3:00pm or later on Sunday, and all day on Wednesday including early mornings if needed. I can provide your dog with a walk, playtime, or both ensuring that they have the best experience possible! As for my own dog, I have a fenced in yard that allows him to potty and play freely with plenty of space. When it comes to your pets safety, trust, and environment, I can properly walk dogs, play with them, and provide them with the necessary enrichment for their energy level. I can also crate your pet if necessary depending on the dogs needs.

About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.

About: I have many years of experience with house hold pets and large also. I also have or had my own dogs over the years that I love dearly. I also helped my neighbors wallked their dogs if they went out of town or they just needed extra help when the owner got older. I took care of small and large birds too. I clean out their cages and I also clean out thwir bowls for water and good. I also know how to bath and groom dogs. Trim nails and brush teeth if needs to be. I also can administrate medication oral. I worked at the rabbit society of st louis. I helped clean out bunnyvrabbits cages. I gave them new bedding. I also would give them clean dishes to eat out of and wash the old. I would pick up the bunnues so they would feel human contact. I also am happily to announced that I'm going back to school to become a Vet Technician in Januarary 2020. I can be available to go get your pet or you can bring them to me from 8 am to 10pm. If that time doesnt work, I can be very flexible. I am full time or part time. Depends on the need of the pet. In my apartment complex, there is several areas that dogs can go potty comfortable and plenty of trash cans to throw away doggie bags. There is a large area to play off the leash. I also can take them to a dog park around your neighborhood or even to my nearest park. Whatever my clients prefer.

“Second time we’ve used Jessica to take care of our pups. Smooth transaction and everything went great. Pups enjoy seeing her. Will continue to use her services in the future. 😃”


About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was a young girl. All my family, friends and Neighbors would always ask me to take their dogs for a walk and to feed them and even give them baths. I can also give medication if needed and tend to any care your fur baby needs. I currently work a full-time job from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. don't worry though, I will have more than enough time to attend to your fur babies. I will still have time to take them for walks or do check-ins if they need to be fed or taken out to go to the bathroom. I can also do boarding in my home or in your home on the weekends. Friday through Sunday. I have a almost 6 year old female boxer that gets along with all dogs and all sizes and loves to play. She is allowed on all the furniture and so will your fur babies. They will be just as loved as mine. More then enough toys to play with. I don't have a fenced in yard because my girl listens very well. Don't worry, I will keep your babies safe by keeping them on a leash when outside.

About: I have stayed over several friends and families homes to watch over their pets. I have also been able to let their pets stay with me. I absolutely love all animals and I am happy to help in ANY way! I have finished a 2 year program at South Technical High School and passed my CVA Exam with an A in the Veterinary Assistant Program. I am well trained and educated when it comes to animals and I am looking forward to meeting your pets!! I also work at a vet clinic, so I am very comfortable with any animal :) I have been working in vet clinics since 2021 as a veterinary assistant. There is not a day going by where i’m not around furry friends! I am very good at following instructions based on your animals needs! I have years of experience! I will always make sure they are safe and comfortable :)

“They are the best! We’ve used them twice now and had a great experience each time. Joseph even took extra care of the house and the cats and brought them a toy. I would highly recommend them!”


About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life. I have also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors and love to take my German shepherd on runs. I live at home right now and am taking one class online and work-part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets and snuggle them. I make sure the animal will stay within boundaries if they have to stay in a fence and will make sure that they get all meds needed or food on time.

“Holly really made sure my dog was taken care of while i was gone. She always took her for a brief walk, and always arrived on time to her check-ins. She also takes lots of photos so you won’t have to speculate how ur dog is doing! I would 100% book her again when the time comes”


About: I’ve mostly had cats growing up, but I absolutely love dogs as well. I would be happy to take good care of your fur babies! I do have a job in Washington Missouri, so I would need to build my schedule around that. I work weekdays 7-3 and have weekends off. I actually just moved to St Clair and am in the process of introducing my cat and my boyfriend’s cat. Introducing cats is a very long process, but I am willing to take whatever amount of time that is needed to make sure we don’t rush things! I also think it is super important for owners to be able to trust the sitters because there are so many horror stories you hear about other peoples’ experiences. I am the perfect trustworthy person for the job!

“Allie took great care of my black lab puppy over the weekend! She followed everything I asked for; even if it was me being “extra.” She even bathed him because he got a little dirty. I will definitely be using her again.”


About: Have taken care of dogs and cats and everything they need for about 25 years. I had dogs and birds and fish growing up and my grandma and grandpa had cats. I have been around them my whole life. I love them so much and love to give them lots of attention and love. I'm currently working full time Monday-Friday usually home by 5:30pm. It is fine to drop pets off after I get home until 8pm on those days and I am available most Saturdays and Sundays until 6pm if you let me know a few days before. I have two small children in the home under the age of 5 and two ginuea pigs. I look forward to taking care of your family pet as if it was my own and give it lots of love. I don't have a fenced yard but there is room for the dog to play and run. If you allow I'm willing to take your fur baby to a dog park and on walks with me and my babies at the park. Please don't hesitate to message me with any questions.


“This was the second time Leigh watched our cat and we’re all so happy. She shows up during the agreed upon times, gives our cat a lot of attention, and communicates very well — sending photos and sometimes videos. We’re all so appreciative!”


About: I have had my own dogs in the past and I raised them as puppies. I am not ready to have a full time pet, however I would love to spoil yours. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, I check in on dogs, cats and birds in my neighborhood.

I currently work full time so weekends are best. However, I am a teacher and I will have more availability during spring break and the summer months. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am willing to take your dog for walks. I am home for most of the weekend and will be able to provide care and comfort for your dog.
