“Virginia is fantastic! She helped walk our two dogs daily for 2 weeks. She was great with our dogs, reliable and an excellent communicator. Her report cards offered helpful info about how the walks went and I trusted her to take good care of our fur babies. I highly recommend Virginia and will certainly be reaching out to her again next time we need help with our pups!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and care and love for every dog that comes my way! Animals are very special and deserve to be treated as such! I am home from college for the summer and have some free time! I love animals and would very much enjoy spending my time with them! I will make sure that your pet gets the love and care that it needs. Safety for your pet is my biggest priority! I understand that trusting people with your pets can be hard, but I make sure to communicate so you and your pet feel comfortable.
“Sam was excellent and exceeded our expectations when caring for our golden retriever, Maggie! Loved the updates, pictures and videos! 10/10, would hire again in a heartbeat.”
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
About: I truly love all type of animals, and I am an extremely hard worker when it literally comes to anything! I take any sort of work. I do extremely seriously and am extremely attentive when it comes to that kind of work. I leave for college late September. Therefore, I am able to work quite literally whenever and for any amount of time! I am able to work my work schedule around any sort of sitting or walking I’m doing. I have a fenced in yard and still take my dog out on a leash whenever I take her out. I am extremely attentive when it comes to this kind of sitting or walking and try to keep them active as much as I can!
“Great job”
About: I have always had at least one pet if not multiple in my household! I am the main contact for friends and family to watch and care for their babies. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, birds and even a turtle. I absolutely love animals and would be hard pressed to find an animal I didn’t get along with! I mainly read in my free time, and would be happy to hangout at home with your animals for majority of the stay. I do not smoke, drink, vape or anything of the like. I am an introvert & a homebody and like to keep a calm, caring, and quiet environment for the animals I stay with. I do have a full time job working 8-5pm, but my schedule is flexible as I can be home some days, so I am available during the week and most weekends to hang out all day with your babes! I am an early riser so I will always be up for a good morning routine with them as well. I love to be outside so I will go out with your animal and play in the yard! I love to fill my days with lots of pets/belly rubs, snuggles, treats and toys! I will send pictures and updates throughout the day as well. I know how important it is to see your babies while you are away!
“Michael has been so great to work with. Always communicates very well, sends photos, and has helped me a lot during my busy schedule. I’d recommend him to anyone!”
“Erin did a great job with Kinsey! She's a great communicator and her love of dogs was self evident. We look forward to having her take care of Kinsey in the future.”
“Lucy is so energetic and loves Bodi. She takes control of him so he trusts her and obeys her. She truly enjoys animals and I am thrilled with her interactions with him.”
About: I’ve helped my family out my whole life taking care of multiple dogs. I’m great with all animals, big and small, and am really excited to help you out :) It’s baked into my schedule to feed my dog, Biggie Smalls, three times a day, seven days a week. I make sure to take him on walks frequently and care for him in the heat. In the heat it’s important to take regular breaks and pay attention to how the dog is feeling. With the stifling humidity and heat when I walk dogs I’ve been bringing a bowl and some extra bottles of water for them to drink if we need to stop.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always helped my parents take care of them! I now have a black lab of my own :) I am available on weekends at any time! :) Please contact me if you need your pup let out, fed & watered, played with, or taken for a walk ☺️ I will not be providing the boarding service, but I would love to take your dog on walks or stop in to let him/her go potty!
About: I’ve had a family dog since I was a child. When I was in college, I became a dog mom to the dog that would live life with me throughout my 20s and into my 30s. My dog was my constant companion through 3 college degrees, my wedding, and the birth of my 2 children. He passed away at the age of 14. In his honor, I would like to start helping others care for their dogs. I am a very patient person with a positive, warm approach towards animals. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, with a day to myself on Thursdays. I would love to help care for your dog between the hours of 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. I will closely follow any instructions that you leave for me when caring for your pet at your home and while on a walk. I will be sure to check-in with you to give you an update when I arrive and depart.
About: While attending college, I have been the go-to dog and cat sitter in my neighborhood! This has given me 4 years of meaningful experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now that I'm attending grad school, I am excited to continue my passion for animals through dog-walking and pet-sitting! I am responsible and patient, and will make sure your pets are safe and well-cared for. I have grown up with pets my whole life and I would love to help you give your pets their best life! As a college student, my schedule is open and flexible to help accommodate your needs! I genuinely love to care for animals and am open to start right away! I always make sure any pets in my care are safe and well-taken care of. I am open to commuting to most places in the St. Louis area. For pet-sitting, I am also open to caring for cats in my home.

“I went out of town last week and always use this app to find a bog sitter that can take care of the pups (Alaskan Malaute and Shiba Inu). I was able to get in touch with Lillian to do the job last week and she blew my expectations out of the water! She went above and beyond to make sure the pups had everything they needed while I was away! I couldn’t recommend her services enough, sweet girl and she really cares about the animals she’s watching. I will definitely be contacting her for the next time I have to go out of town!”

“Cara has cared for my pup, Jack, many many times. I've always felt like the communication has been great with her. She has always sent me pictures of Jack so I know he is safe and happy. Jack can be a little feisty sometimes but she has always handled it so well and given him the chance to warm up to her the way he needed to. I am grateful to have someone so kind, gentle, and truly an animal lover, care for my sweet baby.”

Lucy showed up on time and took my girls on a great walk. She leaves me pictures and notes so I know they are well cared for.
