Pet Sitting Lafayette Square

“Uğar was great! He was super reliable - our cat seemed very happy with his visits. He sent several photos each day along with a detailed report of what he did/noticed. My cat tends to be skittish around new people but he appeared to warm up to Uğar pretty quickly which was awesome! Leaving my cat behind for the holidays was less stressful knowing that he was getting great care. Not to mention that Uğar was great to talk to and very communicative! I had to add on an extra day last minute and he was flexible with that. He was also very understanding and patient when I had messed something up on my end. I highly recommend booking with him - I definitely will again in the future!”

“Stephen, was great! Bonnie was so excited to see Stephen during his visits. I think she would have been happy to go home with him! Argo who has difficulty eating due to pancreatitis was happy and comfortable while mom was away. They were both well cared for and I definitely plan to use Stephen again!”

“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.”

“Kyani was absolutely amazing with my dogs (Laila & Bowe) She was attentive, she took tons of videos and pictures which kept me connected to my fur babies. She gave them plenty of play time and I can tell by the pictures my fur babies loved hanging out with Kyani. If I ever need a dog sitter I'll be contacting Kyani.”

“Sarah is without question one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Our senior dogs have become a bit high maintenance in their old age, and she handles everything with absolute grace. She goes above and beyond with every visit and we feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog person — there’s never been a time in my life without one! These days, my chocolate lab is enjoying his well-earned retirement (walks are officially off his agenda), which means I have all this love and energy to give. I would absolutely love to be your dog’s favorite part of the day! I currently work full time, as a hybrid employee so I’m working for home at least two days for home with a flexible schedule. That gives me plenty of time to walk your dog or check in on them. For drop in visits and dog walking, I would follow your request for your dogs needs. At this time, I am not doing overnight stays

“Took really good care of our baby while we were away. The photo of our Ellie cat left on the fridge was such a beautiful surprise to come home to. 10/10 recommend!”

“I am SO grateful to have found TzuYu to check in on my cats while I was out of town! She is not only kind and great with animals, but she is also incredibly thorough in getting the full rundown of their routine and making sure they get some play in during her drop-ins. Cannot recommend her enough!”

Kate C.

“She was communicative and went above and beyond for my two kitties :) she was the first person I hired on here, so I’m really happy that my first experience went so well! What a relief that there are hard working people who also care about pets in STL!”

“Laura did an amazing job. You can tell she genuinely cares about your pets and loves them as if they were her own. She’s also a great communicator.”

Michael M.

“This was my first time using Rover and doing drop In visits. I would definitely recommend. Hannah was excellent with my timid little older dog that had a slipped disc. He warmed up to her quickly, was excited to see her when she came and didn’t want her to leave; she took the best care of him. She left detailed updates daily with pictures. I was away for a week and she even offered to water my plants. I will definitely use Hannah again! Thank you so much!”

“Corrine is awesome with Zyra. She is dependable and so easy to work with. She is a good communicator. We are grateful to have her help us with Zyra.”

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.

I live in walking distance to Lafayette Square Park for longer dog walks.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience, including volunteering at the Humane Society. I provide dependable, caring walks and treat every dog like family. I work full time for the St Louis Blues but I have an hour long lunch, work ends at 4 pm and I have most weekends available. I grew up with dogs my whole life so I am more than comfortable around dogs all shapes and sizes. I love to walk so they'll get plenty of exercise. I volunteer at the humane society so I feel more than comfortable creating a safe environment. I live alone and have no pets so I will be able to give your dog my full attention.

“Caitlin was incredible with my senior diabetic cat. She gave her her shots and at the times I asked her to, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. I will absolutely book her again.”

About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve known I was meant to work with animals. It’s more than a passion—it’s my purpose. Pets have always brought me peace, joy, and fulfillment, whether they were mine or someone else’s. Over the years, I’ve raised everything from Great Danes to Pit-Husky mixes. I currently care for my special-needs English Mastiff, Kayser, and have supported senior and rescue dogs—each requiring patience, trust, and personalized care. Motivated by my commitment to animal well-being, I returned to school to pursue my dog training certification. I also hold certifications in animal welfare, pet CPR, and first aid. My approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and a strong belief in creating an informed, compassionate pet guardian community. My mission is to be a bridge between animals and their guardians—prioritizing not just obedience, but behavioral health, emotional enrichment, and the deeper bond that comes from truly understanding and nurturing the whole animal. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine, so I’ve learned to build my schedule around it. I’m usually up early to handle morning feedings, walks, and check-ins, which leaves me available mid-morning through early afternoon for appointments, training sessions, or visits. I also keep some flexibility in the evenings and weekends for clients who need extra support or who have specific routines for their pets. Because animals are part of my daily life, fitting in care—whether mine or someone else’s—comes naturally. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I’d want in my own. I stick closely to the routines the pet is familiar with—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime—because consistency helps them feel secure. I take my time to build trust with each animal, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy, so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. My goal is always to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while giving families peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands.

“Brooke always does a fabulous job taking care of our sweet boy when we are gone. Great communication, feedback, and awesome photos! She is the only cat sitter we will use! Gives us great peace of mind to know out cat and home is being cared for. Thanks Brooke!”
