“Gabrielle is very responsive and accommodating to different pet needs. She always checks in and is super courteous! Happy to book her to take care of my babies in the future!”

“Danielle did so well with my boys over the weekend. Although both low maintenance, one takes behavioral meds and she made sure he got them on time every day. I received so many great pics and they both looked so content each time. I will be using Danielle from now on in STL!!!! Thank you!!!”
“Phoebe was incredible! Provided detailed updates on how my cat was doing and made sure to spend quality time with him during each drop-in. She was very clear each day to provide an update on my cat’s upset stomach / health.”

“This was our first time working with Caroline. What a pleasure! Easy, to the point, great communication and care of Stella. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind she is in good hands. I definitely recommend her!”

“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
“Jamie was such a rockstar! We had a last minute change of plans around kitten care that meant we were looking for help the day before our trip. Jaimie swooped in like a hero and saved the day. He was friendly, communicative, thorough, and sent us dozens of photos of our happy kittens during his visits. I also really love that he sent a photo of their food bowl and empty litter box each visit as well. When we returned it was to happy, healthy kittens, and everything in the house as it should be. We couldn't have been more thrilled.”
“Mae is the bomb! I think my animals really like them, and I definitely appreciate their support. They have been caring for my babies for going on 3 weeks, 4 days a week and it’s a godsend for my busy schedule. They are super bubbly and sweet, keep on top of communication, and follow instructions to a T. My neighbors see them all the time and always tell me how much they like Mae and how friendly they are. Plus, they take really good pictures. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“Abby was a great sitter who took excellent care of my pet for my time away. She was communicative and eager to hear how best to care for my cat. I can't wait to book her services again!”

“Laura was fantastic. She took extra precaution with feeding and safety. She communicated well and send lots of cute pictures. She also played with the kitties and they enjoyed her very much.”

About: I’ve grown up helping take care of three dogs and one cat in my home all of my life. Most recently, I have been a dog mom to a miniature golden doodle for the last four years! I have a huge heart for all animals and have taken care of friends’ and family members’ dogs during times of need. I can follow detailed instructions on how to best care for your pet(s) and show them love and attention! I currently work part-time and have a lot of availability all day Mondays, Thursdays, and sometimes on Saturday/ Sunday! Tuesdays and Wednesdays are not available for me. I am open to incorporating whatever your pet needs to feel safe into my walking or drop-in visits! Please let me know what your pet needs in order for them to feel safe and comfortable around a new person.
About: When I was younger I was in foster care for 2 years, my foster parents had 5 dogs and 2 cats. I am great with both. & Although I cannot currently own a pet, I love spending time with animals. I will approach every booking with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to provide a safe and happy experience for your furry family member. Since I am currently in between jobs at the moment, pet care will be my priority. My schedule is completely flexible and open, which will allow me to provide maximum attention, consistent walks, and full-time dedication to maintaining your pet's routine. While I am not permitted to have pets at my current residence, I dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care, making it my primary focus to provide a safe and happy environment.
About: I’ve had pets around since I was 2 and have experience taking care of a variety of animals. I currently have two cats, but grew up with dogs as well, and have cared for rodents, goats, reptiles, and the occasional chicken or two! I will be starting another postdoc in the next few months, so until then I would love to spend time with all pets. I can provide basic care, walk, whatever is needed. I also have experience giving medication to cats and dogs. I also can pay attention to your plants! I can stop in early in the morning until late in the evening most days. Depending on the situation, I can stay at the domicile as well. Let me know what is needed and we can make it work! Will provide food/water/care to your animal, can walk dogs (or other animals) and/or provide medication and/or play with cats, dogs, or other animals. I can water plants also! Just let me know!
About: I’m a mom of two cats and I’ve been sitting family and friends’ cats and dogs for years! I can be both soothing and playful, depending on what your pet needs. :) I’m currently working as a freelancer so I can make my own hours. I can do daily visits any time during the week or the weekend. I can also house sit occasionally if needed, as long as it’s not for too long :) I’ll make sure all instructions are followed, read the room and see what your pet needs and cater to them accordingly. I’ll also make sure things are kept clean to provide a comfortable environment for them!
“Jill was WONDERFUL!! So nice to be able to have the puppers/kitties stay at home and not be worried the entire time we were away. Jill sent lots of pictures and updates and even cleaned the cat litterbox which was unexpected, but certainly appreciated!! I would use Jill again in a heartbeat...the dogs miss her already!”

“Niah was a great sitter! She was kind and enthusiastic at the our meet and greet. I knew my cats would be taken great care of and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!”
