“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since age 5. My friend's neighbors and family have all trusted me to care for their animals. Including feeding, bathing, & walking. Rover is my fulltime job, I am available Monday through Friday daytime 11:00am-4:00pm & some Sundays in the areas of Ste Genevieve, Perryville, Festus, Bloomsdale,and Farmington. I am open to do day visits and dog walks. Please let me know the Sunday before for the week what you need! This leaves plenty of time for puppy loving! ❤️ I currently have a very gentle loving puppy who loves to play indoors & outdoors. So in my home your dog will have some company 😀 I do not have a fenced in yard which is a challenge so we go on walks in the neighborhood & have a nearby park we enjoy going to so no worries! We have lots of fun and exercise! We play games outside and inside.

“Diane is wonderful! We booked her for multiple drop-ins for our two pups and she was extremely communicative and professional. She sent great pictures from her visits and it was reassuring to see our pups getting so much love and attention! Absolutely would rebook with her again in future. Thank you, Diane!”

About: Hi there! My name’s Jordan, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home (and couch!) with 2 energetic dogs and 3 hilarious, personality filled cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. Growing up with animals taught me the importance of patience, playtime, and knowing when a belly rub or a quiet cuddle is exactly what they need. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves fetch or a shy cuddle bug who just wants some company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress free for both you and them. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own, because I know how much love they bring into our lives. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I'm fortunate enough to work from home so i'm always available and easy to contact. I will be 110% devoted to your animals and I will make my schedule fit around your needs. I do not offer boarding because i'm currently living on the Warren Airforce Base BUT, I can assure you that your home, dogs, and belongings will be protected and taken care of.

“Philip was great! Very easy to communicate and schedule his drop-ins, even short notice, and he was willing to stop by to meet the dogs early in the morning before we left. He sent us pictures and notes on his visit and kept us up-to-date on our dogs while we were away. We would definitely book him again if we weren't moving!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and enjoyed every minute of them. I provide a caring atmosphere to keep them calm and make them feel at home. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. Would love to watch your pup short notice or scheduled notice. They can stay a short time or for the weekend I have a six acre yard with a sweet dog who will keep your pet company and active. Lots of places to walk or chill

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.

About: Hey there, I’m Danielle, 36, of Belleville. I’m a mother of 6 human children and only 2 fur children right now. That’s really saying something because I’ve always had plenty of animals around me. My family has been on the right side of animal empathy for as long as I can remember. As a family we’ve volunteered and fostered for the local humane society. We’ve found ourselves in the face of wounded and homeless creatures more times than I could count that we’ve taken in graciously and to the best of our ability. These experiences have taught us so much about animal care. My experience also ranges far beyond dogs and cats. I do have experience with many reptiles and mammals as well, caged and uncaged. I am a full Time student and mother. Caring for pets full time fits naturally into the routine. I’m available as much or as little As needed while you’re away. I want to create a similar environment for your pet to their normal routine. Pet parents being away creates an anxiety I would strive to calm in your absence and consistency is important for them. Walks, spending time with them, frequent potty breaks, and feeding routines are something I would want to mimic of your current habits as best as possible. As a home owner myself, I’m aware and experienced with red flags of home security and maintenance. Providing a lifeline to your other most valuable assets left behind can offer a peace of mind while you are away.

About: Having grown up in a family that had five dogs at once, I've gained extensive experience in pet care. It has taught me the importance of patience and love when it comes to looking after our furry friends, young and old. Additionally, I've often helped out friends by letting their dogs out and spending time with them when needed. These experiences have helped to ensure that every dog in my care feels loved and well-cared for. I am currently working part-time this summer, but I can be sure to find time to help you out and make your fur baby’s day! I will make sure your dog is fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention! If they need special care, such as dietary, mobility, emotional, senior dog care, etc. I will be happy to help!

About: While I may not have "professional" pet care experience, I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have always been a go-to pet helper for family and friends. I believe in gentle and attentive care. I am committed to making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved... because dogs truly are family! I am excited to earn your trust and become your dog's second-favorite human! 🐾 I work full time as a first responder. My schedule varies due to a 48/96 work schedule (this meaning I work 2 days on, 4 days off). I am typically available all off days, but my schedule will vary! I do not currently have any pets due to just moving into a new home! Though I do still have 2 dogs back home that I see often. I aim to create an environment where your four-legged friend will feel secure and relaxed. I achieve this by only sitting one pet at a time in a large house with no other pets. I love giving all the attention to the pups, but also have plenty of space for those who are shy. I also provide pictures and videos of pets upon request :)

About: I have had animals my whole life and have taken care of many different breeds of dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets for different periods of time. I have two brown tabbies of my own! I work as an educator at a high school so I am available during the school year after 3pm! I do have a weekend job that I work as well but the times are switched so I’m more available in the day time and not as free in the evenings. I have my own home and live in a quiet town where people regularly walk their animals! I love to get out and about outside so walks are a daily occurrence for me!

About: I've had pets my whole life dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and fish. I've done pet sitting/ pet check-ins for multiple different familys on several different occasions walking dogs has always been something I like to do whether it be my own dogs or family members or someone else I just really enjoy being around animals. I have 3 dogs of my own 8 in my house, 4 cats of my own, and I work at a doggy daycare during the day! I promise to love your babies as if they were my own and we will have the best time together! Currently I am doing DoorDash and helping care for my Dad, so I can be pretty flexible on scheduling time to spend with your fur babies! I do not offer pet care in my home as all of my pets have varying temperaments and anxiety levels, also my Dad is a disabled veteran and I like to keep stress levels down for him. I would love to take your pups out for a walk or do check ins/house sitting with your babies!
