About: As a High School Science Teacher and a dedicated father, I bring a level of care to pet sitting that is grounded in responsibility, observation, and routine. I understand that your pets are family, and they deserve a sitter who is as invested in their well-being as you are. I live in a quiet South City home (63111) featuring a fully fenced-in backyard. This offers your pups a secure, private environment where they can run, play, and explore safely—a rare find in many parts of the city! While I am currently a "cat dad" to my 8-year-old resident cat, I have been a lifelong dog owner. From my earliest childhood memories until earlier this year, dogs have always been a central part of my home and heart. This lifelong experience means I am deeply familiar with canine behavior, exercise needs, and the unique companionship they provide. I am an expert at managed, slow introductions to ensure that my senior cat and your pups coexist peacefully and safely. Daily Care: As a high school science teacher, I am currently on summer break and have transitioned into "full-time pet care" mode! My schedule is wide open from late May through mid-August, meaning I am home throughout the day to provide frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of companionship. Weekly Availability: I offer a rotating schedule for boarding. My calendar is always kept up-to-date, so you can easily see which days I am open for overnight stays or daycare only. Consistency: Because I am not balancing an office job during the summer, I can strictly adhere to whatever feeding, medication, or exercise schedule your pet requires. I pay close attention to details—from a dog’s body language and energy levels to their specific feeding and medication schedules. My goal is to create a predictable, low-stress environment where your pet feels like a member of the family. I have a fully (6 foot tall) fenced-in backyard where dogs can play safely. I always supervise yard time to ensure no "great escapes" or unwanted digging. I also always clean up after bathroom breaks in my yard. I use baby gates and separate "safe zones" to ensure my cat and your pups coexist peacefully. I worked for a vet clinic many years ago but still remember some emergency techniques. I can send daily photos and keep your vet's information at hand. It's also good for me to know more about your pet as in: Does your pet have any "triggers" (squirrels, mailmen, other dogs)? Are there any "off-limits" pieces of furniture or rooms? What is their favorite way to be comforted if they get homesick? Etc.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of many breeds and personalities. I also have a special needs pug of my own, which has given me hands on experience with extra care, patience, and attention to health needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dog. I’m available to accommodate evening walks, and for day sitting I can also provide walks throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I always try to stick with the routine that the pets are comfortable with and always communicate if anything changes !

“I met Damica early this morning to drop off Bentley and she was more than welcoming. It seems he really took a liking to her. He acted really well, and she sent me many updates about his day and progress at her home and he did amazing. He was more than ready for bed when we got home…lol I loved it. We will be booking again 100%”

Amiyah H.

“Laura made sure to keep me updated throughout the day and was so patient with my girl Boston. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your puppy with someone else especially with her visual impairment! Laura was reassuring, kind, and made sure Boston was comfortable, happy, and safe!! Highly recommend and I cannot wait for Boston to go back and hangout🥰”

“Shannon checked all the boxes for us. She lived in a safe, walkable neighborhood, didn’t have any other pets at the house, and an allowed Tucker to lay on the back of her sofa. This all made for a very happy boy. I’m sure he felt like a king while we enjoyed our great nieces first birthday party. We didn’t worry about him at all, knowing he was being well cared for. Thank you, Shannon.”

Bonnie J.

“Finn always has a great time!!”

Kari S.

“This was our first experience using a doggie sitter from Rover but definitely won’t be our last. Brian was wonderful! He was extremely flexible in accommodating our schedule and took such great care of Sparky and Crouton! Loved all the pictures he sent!”

Home S.

“My pup is always so excited and happy to spend time at Isa’s. She really cares for my baby as if she were her own. I know she’s had a great day when I pick her up, happy and tired from a full day with Isa and some of her furry friends. It’s really nice to be able to rely on Isa for daycare and boarding. I highly recommend her!”

Bernadette J.

“She took care of our Nora girl SO WELL! Nora came home every day so exhausted, and it was PERFECT!! Mariah also helped us out super last minute when we had a contractor scheduled last minute in our home. So thankful for her quick responses and A+ care of our dog. 10/10!!”
