“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.”


“Mariah was so great with our dog, Levi! Her knowledge of dog body language, and behavior combined with her experience training gave us a lot of confidence when leaving our boy in her care. She was super communicative and kind throughout his stay. Afterward, we talked through some training tips and information on Levi specifically which was so helpful. He has some behavioral issues and reactivity and she handled him so well and is helping us to give him a more structured, happy, and calm life. 10/10 would recommend Mariah to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer!”



“Ruthie was great with my deaf little puppy. He is afraid of other dogs but she was sweet and patient and he accepted the others. Her dog Ginger is the sweetest little cuties! Will book again!”


“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.”


“Isa is absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive and kept me updated on Evies first day with her. I am so impressed and thankful I found her! Thank you!”


“Jennifer was great! Ari had the best time. I could tell Ari was going to have the best time as soon as I set foot in the doorway. She had such a kind energy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my pup, Jennifer!”


“Repeat booking with Madeline. Dogs were happy and calm when I picked them up. Madeline is great with fast communication and flexibility. Thank you we will book again.”


About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.

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.

“Kavita took care of my 3 yrs old Bichon for few days. I saw the smile on my daughter's face while picking her up. They enjoyed their time each other, I would ask her to take care of Stella in future.”


“Sara was a pleasure to work with. Quick communication from confirming booking to drop off to pick up. Stayed in touch with Photos and text updates throughout the day. Thanks again, can’t wait to bring the pup back for daycamp.”



“OMG, my dog just loves being at Jordans! When I went to pick him up he kept trying to go back into the house!!! Obviously my little man feels very comfortable there... and I think he has a little crush on Jordans dog Penny!!”


“Sarah is a great sitter! We initially booked her for boarding and added on day care so our puppy had a chance to get to know Sarah and her son before our trip. She is very flexible and communicative. We have our boarding scheduled soon and will continue to use Sarah in the future!”


About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life as well as multiple pet sitting jobs. I have cared for all types of pets of all ages. You can feel comfortable putting your pets in my experienced care! My partner snd I currently have three cats. I will treat your pet as part of the family! On the days I am available, this is my full-time job so you know my full attention is going to the care of your pet. I would be open to ongoing set schedules or one time requests. Check my calendar for availability! Your pet will be treated as if they’re were my own and as a part of the family. I’m happy to accommodate any special requests that will make your pet feel safe and at home. I can send plenty of pics as well!

“Vanika was very quick to pick up our last minute request and did a great job hanging out with our little guy for the day! She sent a lot of pics and hung out with him outside a lot. Highly recommend her!”


About: I grew up in a family that considered our pets members of our family! Dogs big and small, multiple cats, critters, puppies, kittens, senior and special needs pets - I’ve taken care of them all. I specialize in keeping their schedule as normal as possible for them by keeping them busy and happy until you return. Taking care of pets works well for me because have a very flexible work schedule. I work as a substitute teacher and pick my own days to be in the classroom. I also teach Irish dance and music lessons during weekday afternoons at a studio 5min away from my house. So it’s very easy for me to arrange pet care duties around other commitments. My partner also works from his home office and has a flexible work schedule, so there is often at least one adult at home most hours of the day during the week. Having two people available helps keep the pets that stay in our home on a schedule close to their normal routines. Our house is a corner lot with a 6ft wooden enclosed fence yard. We only let dogs out in the yard off-leash if we are in the yard as well. Otherwise we keep dogs on leashes outside the house. We allow pets full access to the main floor, upstairs rooms and on the furniture as appropriate. We stick to each pet’s feeding and walking schedule as closely as possible. We often offer neighborhood walks throughout each day. We also do trails and paths throughout local parks including Forest Park, Wilmore Park and Tower Grove Park as appropriate.

“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: Happy to help with training - our board collie of 13 recently passed of old age so your pup would have our full love and attention! We both work from home and walk in Tower Grove Park daily - and hike weekly. There’s also a gated yard with a pet door for indoor outdoor access if that’s all your pup needs. Please leave detailed instructions about how we can closely care for your pet. Since we recently had an old man of our own we are happy to administer medications. Brooking worked as a vet assistant and has years of experience in healing practices.

Her home will provide a safe, welcoming environment with a secure backyard and doggie door access, giving your animal plenty of freedom to roam. Living near a park also allows for fun outdoor adventures, which my sister’s beloved dog absolutely loved. I can confidently recommend her to any dog-loving family in need of a reliable and caring sitter!”
