Cat Sitting Lakeshire

“Bethany was wonderful! She took great care of my Toby, winning his trust over a few days.. while also having to give him medications he didn’t like! He’s a stubborn -but very sweet- cat that she won over, and I’m so grateful too that he made a friend while we were on vacation.”

“Brooke notices the little things with my cat’s behavior and lets me know if anything seems off. I feel so comfortable leaving my kitty into her caring hands. Brooke is the best!”

About: I am a lifelong cat owner with special knowledge and experience caring for senior cats, as well as kitties of all ages! As the cat parent of a picky eater, I am well-versed in feeding routines that require extra care and attention. Nontraditional, finicky, and particular eaters are my forte. I work in an office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the week, I am available for early morning, evening, and nighttime visits. On weekends, I have much more availability and flexibility. I provide a comfortable environment and dedicated quality time to anxiously attached cats, and needed space to those who are wary of strangers. Every cat has unique needs, boundaries, and quirks. I understand the importance of meeting cats where they are.

“Our two pups love when Lexi comes to visit and we know we can trust her with great updates and always being on time and excellent communication.”

“Melanie is fantastic. She did a great job with my two old grumpy bun buns. Followed instructions well and overall was great to work with. (Thanks Melanie! I’m sure the buns are going to miss you! 🐰)”

About: Hi there! I’m a full-time mom with a big heart for animals — and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. Whether you need help with daily walks, feedings, medication, or just some loving company for your furry friend while you're away, I provide dependable, compassionate care you can trust. I've raised both dogs and cats from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets with special needs, and I understand how important it is to have someone responsible and attentive looking after your beloved companions. ✨ Hard-working ✨ Trustworthy ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Experienced with medications and special care needs Let’s chat about how I can help you and your pet! As a full-time mom, my daily routine is built around care, attention, and responsibility — the same values I bring to pet care. I'm home throughout the day and evening, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet visits, feedings, medications, playtime, or just some quiet company whenever your pet needs it. My calm, structured home life allows me to give your pet consistent, loving care while still being available for early morning, mid-day, or nighttime visits. Pet care isn’t just a side job — it’s something that fits naturally into my life and brings me joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your home and pets are in trustworthy hands. I follow your specific instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or just the little habits that make your pet feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority — I double-check doors and gates, clean up after pets properly, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment. I’ll gladly send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to give your pet loving, consistent care and give you total peace of mind.

About: I have years of dog care experience and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand dogs’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special routines. I love giving dogs attention, exercise, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I’m used to making time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work around each pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of love while you’re away. In my home, pets get lots of love, attention, and a safe space to relax. I keep up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, litter box cleaning, or cuddle time, I treat every pet like my own.

“Anya followed all instructions well and made sure my baby Wes had his meds on time daily every morning! Very friendly, reliable, and wasn't phased by all the very detailed instructions I had printed out. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, crazy dogs. I’ve seen it all and love it so much! I also used to work at the humane society of Missouri, so I am incredibly qualified to walk any and all kinds of dogs no matter the temperament, I guarantee I’ve seen it all! Hyper dogs, reactive dogs, shy dogs. You can trust I have the skills to safely walk your furry friend and provide love and enrichment! Hello!! I’d love to add your furry friend into my morning daily walk :) I am an outdoor education teacher in the Northampton St. Louis neighborhood and am looking to walk some lovely animals weekdays 7 am-9:00 am and any time of day on weekends!! I can also do walks anytime after 6:00 pm! As for daily in house check ins, I can also do those at the times stated above :) as you will find in my profile, I am very experienced with dogs and cats and other pets and have a deep genuine love for animals ❤️ I love forming a trusting relationship with any animals I interact first. Trust is the essential part of any dog/cat human interaction, so I can better suit their needs.

“Thank you for being available with such short notice. It was such a relief to know Trik was being well taken care of. I really appreciate your effort. 😊”

“Claire took great care of our dog, Monte, who can be a lot to handle. We were sent pics of him playing on her visits and he looked very well cared for! She was extremely thorough on her visits making sure he was good to go before leaving.”

About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.

About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with. I am trustworthy and dependable and will have eyes on your furry friend at all times!

About: I've spent over 40 years caring for animals, from small dogs like Mini Dachshunds and cats to large breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Chows, Pitbulls. I currently share my home with a long-haired German Shepherd and a beautiful long-haired domestic cat who are my babies. My daughter is also there while in college & has 2 cats so animals have always been an important part of my life, and to me, they're family, not just pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I've provided pet sitting for friends and family, including multiple-dog and cat households. One of my most meaningful experiences has been caring for my German Shepherd following a serious attack that left him with very significant injuries. Helping him through his recovery gave me firsthand experience with the patience, attentiveness, and compassion required when an animal needs extra support. I'm comfortable administering oral medications according to instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and adapting to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is a tiny Dachshund, a large German Shepherd, or a beloved cat, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I've always seemed to have a special connection with animals, even those who are normally hesitant around people. There's a little shop I frequent with a resident cat who apparently doesn't warm up to many visitors. One day, she surprised her owner by jumping right into my arms! Moments like that mean the world to me. I've always believed animals are some of the very best judges of character. I currently work an interesting schedule that allows me several consecutive days off. I have a rotating schedule. One week I work Sun-Tues 6am-6pm and the next I work Sun-Wed. The days I work are 12 hr days. But depending on how close you are to my job (Bridgeton area) I could potentially check in on them on my hour lunch and then go there after work at 6pm.. I live in Illinois but I dont plan alot of things this time of year so I have pretty good availability. Shoot me a msg, we can probably work it out. Even holidays. Talk to you soon! :) I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, especially when their family is away. My goal is to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. Before accepting a booking, I like to learn about each pet's personality, daily schedule, feeding instructions, medical needs, and any special behaviors or concerns. I also believe meeting beforehand is important so both the pets and their owners can feel comfortable with me. Safety is always my priority. I'm attentive to securely closing doors and gates, using appropriate leashes during walks, and being mindful of potential hazards. Having cared for my own German Shepherd through a serious recovery, I understand how quickly unexpected situations can arise and how important it is to pay attention to changes in an animal's behavior or well-being. I respect my clients' homes and privacy and will treat their property with the same care I give my own. I also believe communication is essential, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. Most importantly, I understand that I'm being trusted with two things that mean a great deal to someone: their beloved pets and their home. I take that responsibility seriously.

“Samantha was very communicative about what my boys were up to while I was away. She also was able to fit me into her schedule on a late notice. This was the first time I left my cats at home and didn't have my mom watch them with an asthmatic cat and I was not worried at all. She's the best!”

“I’m having Bailey dog sit for me. I had her come over to meet him before I leave. She is very nice and I think everything will work out fine.”

About: I have had dogs, cats, and an assortment of other animals from a very young age. I pet-sit and walk dogs of all kinds, including nervous dogs. I have experience handling and caring for nervous dogs and cats, including knowing boundaries. So far, I have had wonderful success with dogs that have been described as nervous, taking the time to let them be comfortable around me, allowing for me to walk and care for them while their owners are away! I also have experience sitting for senior pets that may need a little extra support, such as feeding assistance and medication routines. I am here to help with pets in my spare time, and would love to help you with yours! I work full-time, but I work from home most days! I finish work in the early afternoon so I am ready and available in the evenings to care for your pets, or take the early morning shift! I am typically available throughout the day on weekends! Depending on the client, I will make sure your pets are fed and watered, well exercised and entertained whether I am doing drop-ins or dog walks. For drop ins, I like to make sure that in addition to caring for the animal, any potential messes are cleaned up properly and that the pet has received as much love and attention from me as possible!

“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”

“This was our second time with Jayne. After such a good experience the first time I was much more relaxed knowing Bernice was well cared for. I highly recommend Jayne.”

“I would 100% recommend Charnell. She took great care of Attila and the pictures she sent were very cute. She also responded very quickly whenever I had a problem, she made the whole process incredibly easy. I will probably use her again if I ever need a cat sitter”
