“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”


“Bridget was very professional, on time and always sent a picture after the walk for extra reassurance! She came and met me and my dog before booking to make sure it was a good fit. Would definitely book again!”

“Katie is dependable and a lifesaver for my little dog who loves his walks. I’ve referred her to my neighbor and I recommend hiring her for your dog.”


About: I've been volunteering with my local animal shelters for the past 5 years, serving as both a short- and long-term foster parent. This has given me experience managing dogs with a very wide array of behavior and temperament ranging from extremely well-trained to pretty much feral! I love it. Before that, I was the go-to pet and house sitter in my neighborhood as a teenager for dog and cat (and plant) families. I'm currently doing part time work from home on my own schedule, so I am very flexible as to when I can accept clients - weekends, weekdays, overnight all work. Since I am currently renting I cannot look after other people's pets at my own place, but I am open to going most places in the Saint Louis region! Depending on your distance from me and frequency of care, I can either stay at your place or commute each time.

About: If you're looking for someone to watch your pets while you're away, then look no further. I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Uğer could not be more kind and patient with my energetic young dogs. He has also been reliable and very communicative as a dog walker. You can really tell how much he loves dogs. I could not recommend him higher and will request his services any time I need care for my pups.”


“Communication is key and Jamie is on point with this. He keeps us updated when on walks with Cosmo and we SO appreciate that! We are definitely repeat customers!”


About: Hello! My name is Nicki and I currently have two cats named Gertie and Sky. I rescued both of them when they were little kittens. They live like queens and are super active and not shy at all. Growing up I had multiple animals over the years. We had two horses, 3 dogs, cats, fish and birds. I’ve always treated my animals like family members because that is what they are. My dog passed away this past fall after 13 years of the best life ever. I love dogs and cats but especially with dogs I love to walk and run with them. My cat Gertie is fearless like a dog and walks on her leash about 3 houses down and then she is done. Ask me questions about how I can help you! I look forward to taking care of your pet! Dog walks and drop ins - wed 6am-1pm, thurs all day and weekends off House sitting weekends off. Can do a longer stay as long as advance is given and if I have to work we work out a mid day drop in! Contact me if you are unsure if it will work. I am flexible. I love the checklist care along with my normal instinct care. Just a easy list of amount of food, medicine or anything particular that needs to happen and then I will take care of the cuddles and care.

“Lauren did such a wonderful job! It was Dream’s first time getting walked by someone else since she left the shelter, and Lauren was able to help with her distress about being left after the walk! I will definitely be hiring Lauren again.”


“Emma has been a wonderful communicator from the drop! We had a short time frame before I needed help with my doggos so we weren’t able to meet up before walking my difficult children, but she was cool with that and I’m so thankful!! One of my dogs is very bad and I was transparent about that: Emma was up for the challenge and told me she loves my boys!! Super excited to rebook, recommend her highly! :)”

“Sarah has been fantastic! She’s really good with both of my pups despite them having polar opposite personalities. She’s very professional and a great communicator. Would highly recommend.”


“Jenn is amazing! We recently moved to St. Louis and Jenn hopped right in to helping us out with our dog. Jenn is so thorough with pictures and updates. In the past we’ve had dog walkers that don’t actually give our dog a walk and instead do just a pee break but Jenn makes sure our dog gets outside and moves! Can’t recommend her enough!”


About: I’ve pet-sat since I was 13 for neighbors and anyone else. I’ve always been animal-obsessed, and enjoy spending time with any and all pets. I’ve watched dogs, cats, and even birds! I also love a good pup walk, and because of my own ardent sniffer, I’m happy to go at the pace dictated by dogs’ curious nose(s)! I work part time currently with varied and fairly flexible hours. The longest I’m usually gone in one block for work is 4.5 hours. I’m willing to schedule my work around pet needs if booked enough time in advance. I’m happy to juggle the chaos due to my current situation and general desire to get as much pet-loving in as possible. I have lived in a variety of situations with different pets throughout my life. I even had my childhood dog with me at college for a while, adjusted to dorm living! I miss my childhood dog a lot as well as the other animals I used to dogsit back at home, and now my roommate’s cat is my primary fulfiller of animal attention. Overall, I am just a super attentive and flexible pet lover. I love learning every animal’s quirks and needs and then fulfilling them. I also understand the worry that owner’s experience when away from their pets, so I’m happy to alleviate that as best I can with updates and video evidence of their contentment.

“Very responsive, responsible and punctual. My dog is usually shy but very quickly warmed up to her. It is clear she has lots of experience working with dogs.”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I would adopt a hundred if I could, but since I can’t I think this app is the next best thing! I am a teacher and I’m off for the summer, so I am completely free and would love to spend time with furry friends in my free time! I care for pets as if they are family members, I may be guilty of spoiling them from time to time but they deserve it!


“Kyani is great. Kind, trustworthy, dependable and helpful. I have hired her twice and will be using her services in the future. I highly recommend her. And best of all, my dog loves her! That says a lot to me because I trust his judgment.”


About: Experience from puppies to seniors. I love to take care of all 😊 I can administer medication and follow a routine. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs from working in a shelter. I currently work part time as a nanny Tuesday-Thursday while going to school. I have a very flexible schedule so if you need someone with a different schedule, that is me! I always do what the owners want. It’s helpful to have a list of their daily routine and stick to that to make sure your pet feels happier and safer.
