Karissa is so sweet and always treats our dog with such kindness when she visits. She’s also great with communicating about my dog and what her behaviors are that day. Makes me feel like I’m there in person! Thank you so much!

Barbara was an absolutely amazing cat sitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She was always prompt, had excellent communication throughout, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We have one shy boy who can be pretty hesitant around new people, but Barbara was incredibly patient and gentle with him—she made him feel comfortable in a way that really impressed us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. I truly can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future!

About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.

About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.

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.

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.

Nina is a literal angel on earth! Not only is she absolutely wonderful with our pets, but while we were away, a pipe burst in our house, and she took care of the entire mess. Nina is so kind, caring, and thoughtful. I recommend her to anyone a thousand times over!

First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.

About: We feel blessed to serve your pet! My teenage daughter and I are a team and have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats (even cows and sheep). We love animals! Our neighbors, friends and family rely on us to drop in on their pets to feed, play and love on them while they are away. We appreciate your business and look forward to meeting your furry family member. ♥️ I work Monday through Friday during the day but am available for early mornings drop-ins and anytime after 3pm during the work week for a drop-in and play. Full flexibility on the weekends. I have experience with giving medication and injections. Our dog requires daily (am and pm doses) apoquel tablets and weekly allergy shots so we are familiar with allergies and giving injections as well. Whether you’re working late or out of town, we can stop by and give your pet some love and care. We will be happy to adapt to your routine and drop-in as requested for feedings, treats, medication, belly rubs and play. We can send you pictures, videos and updates as often as desired.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets — I get to know them, build trust, and treat them like my own. With a background in business management, I’m extremely organized and dependable, so pet parents can always count on clear communication and consistent care. I also have a naturally calm and caring energy that animals respond well to, and I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s sticking to a medication schedule, keeping pets engaged and active, or simply making them feel safe while their humans are away, I go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Pet care fits into my daily needs because I already structure my day around caring for my dog. Add I’m very active and being around dogs gives me another reason to enjoy it! I care for my pets by making sure all their physical and emotional needs are met every day. That means sticking to regular feeding schedules, providing fresh water, making time for daily walks or playtime, and ensuring they get plenty of affection and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior, so I can quickly spot if something seems off — whether it's a change in mood, appetite, or energy level. Beyond the basics, I truly enjoy creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where they feel loved and understood. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and cared for.

About: I am currently in a living situation where I can’t have my own pets so trust and believe I will treat your fur children like my own babies! I work part time, so not only do I need the extra income but I but have quite a bit of time and love to give to your fur babies! I only sit your fur babies in their own environments, so they feel safe and know where all their familiar things are while you are gone. If they are down for a ride I am more than willing to safely transport them with me on my errands.

I enjoy on nice days taking dogs to the dog park, walks on trails, or through my neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take them outside on a leash frequently.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, and my lifelong love for animals ensures every furry friend receives dependable, affectionate, and joyful attention! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, as I prioritize walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, making animals a constant part of my everyday life! I work Monday - Thursday from 8am-6pm so weekends and nights are my open availability 🙃 Caring for pets is all about love and balance. I start the day with fun walks and play, followed by nourishing meals and plenty of cuddles. Between bursts of energy, I make sure there’s calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they’re part of my family.

About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.
