“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”

“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”

Thank you so much Isa! We really appreciate the work you did.”

“Great doggy sitter. Our 2 loved staying with Veronica and Ella. She sent pics and a video while they were there. Ella and LuLu the 2 doodles had so much fun playing in the backyard in the snow. Gia enjoyed the sunshine and the snow. I would trust Veronica to take care of our pups when we are in St Louis again.”

About: With years of dog mom experience and fostering for local rescues, I can honestly say dogs are my first love. I have two rescued senior dogs, Pork Chop, a Jack Russell terrier and Trudy a “super sized” dachshund who are the loves of my life. They are the “golden girls” of the neighborhood and adore other dogs. They have helped many of my fosters overcome separation anxiety and are always happy to meet new pups. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that much like humans, they all have wildly different personalities. Their safety and well being are my greatest priorities so please share as much info as you can regarding triggers, food restrictions, resource guarding or anything else that makes them unique. ⚡️☔️ If your pet has triggers, not a problem! I’m well practiced in handling those unpredictable moments, keeping your baby safe and relaxed indoors and on walks. 💊 If your dog or cat needs meds, don’t fret! I’ve cared for animals in varying stages of health and have tons of experience in how to administer meds to even the snootiest of snoots. 🍗 Is your dog a trash eater? Fear not, so are mine! My years of being a dog mom have created a 6th sense for knowing when our fuzzy toddlers are about to grab a “street treat.” 🐱 And let’s not forget kitties, they are my favorite people too! I grew up around cats and care for a few neighbor kitties so I’m familiar with all the quirks that make them lovable. Special feeding requests and litter box cleanings are not a bother so you can feel confident your feline friend will be kept well fed and tidy. ⏰ Most of my availability is between 9am and 9 pm but please check with me as I will always do my best accommodate if you need an earlier or later walk. Boarding is case by case since I already have two dogs. A preliminary meet and greet is required to be sure everyone gets along. Also, I can only board dogs up to 25 pounds. My home is a calm, safe environment where dogs are free to lounge, play and be themselves. If your dog likes to be free or needs some crate time just let me know, I understand how important it is to follow these instructions. Changing wee wee pads is never an issue, just leave the fresh ones out and I’m at your service! As for Covid-19 safety there’s no reason to worry, I’m fully vaccinated/ boosted and always masked. Plus, I travel in my own car, avoiding public transportation so you can feel at ease when I enter your home. I’m also happy to remove my shoes, wash pet bowls and clean surfaces during feeding times :) Hope you enjoy the photo gallery of all the fur babes in my orbit 🪐

About: I’ve been into animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and horses. I knew I wanted to at some point work with them in a greater capacity. I started helping with rescues 15 years ago and then I started doing wild life rehabilitation. I have had over 20 rescue animals in the past 15 years that became part of my family. Cats, dogs, squirrels, etc. I love them and being able to care for them. My daughter is headed to Veterinary school next fall! I’d like to think the love of animals she has seen in me helped her come to such an amazing decision. Let me love on your fur babies like I do on my 2 doggies and kitty cats!! I am currently available at anytime! I’m flexible with your schedule and can change if needed on things. I do remote work 4 hours per day 3 days a week which offers me the flexibility to be available when they need it anytime of day or night! I am willing to do things the way that you feel is best for your individual animals. I do not believe there is just one standard for caring, it needs to be tailored to the needs of the client/animal.

About: Growing up, my parents took my to a farm camp every summer. Being surrounded by animals of all kinds (cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats, etc), ignited my love for animals at a very young age. I love to dog sit and walk dogs whenever my schedule permits. I do have a golden retriever of my own, she is very friendly and would love to go on walks with your furry friend if that is okay with you. I have loved fostering in the past. Fostering has allowed me to get to know many breeds and behaviors of dogs which has made me a proficient dog walker and pet sitter. As a nurse, safety is always my priority. I will always ensure your furry friends are safe and well taken care of. I am currently working 3 12hr shifts a week. I would love to help out whenever I am available on my days off from work! When caring for pets, I ensure to build trust in order to make sure the animals is as comfortable as possible. With this being said, I make sure to take my time during visits and pay attention to how your pet is feeling. I realize all animals are different! Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, their energy level, and if there are any behavioral issues I should be aware of. I of not need to know any of these ahead of time, however, I like to know as much information about your pet as possible so I am able to accommodate them to the best of my ability.

“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

Ashley F.

“Sarah was so great! She answered all of my questions I asked before booking, was super responsive and so sweet with Cooper and sent me pictures and video throughout the day so I knew he was doing good.”

Laura H.

“Sarah was amazing! Super responsive, accommodating, and kind. Even sent us photos of our dog throughout the day! Will definitely be returning.”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in high school, and have experience with a wide variety of dogs and cats. I am a lifelong "dog mom" and have fostered 50+ dogs and puppies over the past few years, and I know just how important it is to be certain that your pet is cared for just as you care for them!

I have a fenced-in yard, and fully supervise any pets in my care at all times. I strive to maintain a pet’s usual routine when at my home.

“We were on a road trip across country and we really wanted to take our daughter to the Saint Louis Zoo as we were passing through, but obviously couldn’t leave the dogs in the car while we did that. We found Kyle last minute on Rover and he was great! Communication was super good and it was easy to just drop the dogs off with him. You could tell the they were well taken care of while we were out seeing the town. I would highly recommend Kyle if you ever need a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with a variety of pets, and love learning their personalities. More than comfortable with wide ranges of ages and can provide medication, activities, and lots of love! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I can care for pets after the hours of 5pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I am flexible, outside of weekday working hours 8am-5pm. I feed/water, pet/cuddle, clean up after, bathe/groom, walk/play with my pet on a daily basis, depending on the service, I do the same for my clients.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for everything from reptiles to rodents to larger 4-legged creatures. I spontaneously rescued a dog 20 years ago which ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. I spent 15 years with my little buddy exploring trails, taking car rides, lazily cuddling on the couch and having lots of one-way conversations. He unfortunately passed away a happy old man but during that time, taught me patience, dedication, playfulness and gave me a special appreciation for dogs. I have vast experience being around a variety of dogs of all shapes, sizes and personality types. I overall just enjoy being around dogs and caring for them (I'm definitely that guy asking strangers if I can pet their dog ). I look forward to sitting your animals and providing you a great service if we match. I work from home in an office setting during the week so I would be around the house most of the time to keep tabs on things and for backyard potty breaks (have a fenced in backyard). During the week, I would be available before 8:00am, during my lunch break and after 4:30pm for walks or to stop by your house for check-ins. On weekends, I am not working so I would be available all day. I live next to Tower Grove Park and enjoying spending time outside or walking in the park. I have a cozy home with a small fenced-in backyard that is perfect for small to medium sized dogs. My house is tidy, quiet and currently don’t have any pets, so my home is perfect dogs who prefer that kind of environment. I generally don’t need to leave the house too often so your pet would be hanging with me most of the time. When boarding, I am able to provide two 20 minute walks per day and as many backyard potty breaks as they need.

“Jacki was so great! Roscoe immediately felt at home and she sent update photos to keep me in the loop. Fae, her dog, was so sweet and was immediately Roscoe's buddy. Will definitely use her again!”
