About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.

About: I am a local pet sitter here in Murphys, CA. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I have several years of pet sitting experience. It all started with a coworker asking me to watch her lovely Golden Retriever, and by word of mouth my clientele grew! It brings me much joy and gratification caring for and spoiling people's pets while they are away. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pet(s) soon! :) I work full-time locally in Murphys, CA . My schedule is Mon through Thurs 7:30 AM to 5:15 PM with a lunch hour from 1 to 2 PM. Typically during the work week I can either so a small walk or some playtime and feed pets their breakfast before I leave for work. If the job is close enough I can stop by on my lunch and do potty breaks or playtime. After work I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them to get their energy out. :) I typically stay in the client's home with their pets, but that all depends on their preference. I can also do walks and drop in visits.

About: My own dog, Zeus, who was a German Shepard, had developed hip dysplasia in his elder years. He passed in 2024 but in his last years of life I learned to properly administer his two medications, and was able to trick him into taking them when he was stubborn, which was all of the time. I cleaned up after him while my parents were away and sat with him when he was anxious, which again, was all of the time. I took him on walks when he was younger and was able to handle his strength. I adore dogs and understand the stress of leaving a special needs dog by themselves. If you need a calm energy for your senior dog, or playfulness for your puppy, I'm your guy. At the moment I am still looking for a full or part time job, so my days and nights are completely open for those who need a sitter. I will care for your dog by first making sure they have their nessecities, food, water, medication, and a bathroom break. If we go on a walk I will make sure their harness and leash are secure, and am willing to walk however long your dog wishes to walk. When we come back to your home I will make sure he is uninjured, no issues with the feet or body if we go to a dog park. I am willing to do anything and everything to ensure the safety and health of a dog.

“Charlene did a great job with Sierra. Texted and sent me pictures. Sierra was happy and relaxed when I got home.”

About: Growing up with animals my entire life, I've branched out to caring for other's animals. From dogs, cats, snakes, and aquariums of all sizes, I am familiar with caring for all kinds of animals including those with special needs. I have worked with blind animals, those with complex medication routines, and those that needed physical therapy. I have also assisted in training animals with behavioral issues and prevented damage to homes while per owners are away. I also volunteer for the local FOAC in my free time. I'm a full time animal lover and would love the opportunity to take care of your furry family! I work full time but have the ability to work from home. I am especially available on weekends, evenings, and holidays. Simply book me and I'll make your schedule work for mine! I have stayed in homes for months at a time caring for animals while owners are on vacation. I am sure to be respectful of your privacy, sticking to specified areas, and focusing on my assigned job of caring for your furry family members. I prefer to leave everything clean and untouched after pet sitting, like I was never there. I am also very quiet with hobbies like crocheting and reading, being respectful of any surrounding neighbors.

“Kim did such a great job caring for Mia and Apollo while my husband and I were out for the day! She was a great communicator & the dogs really enjoyed her visits. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been trusted with every sort of pet from a tiny lizard to a giant horse. I also have years of experience working in a veterinary hospital and providing care to young and old pets. I currently work as a Behavioral therapist for kids with autism. I don’t start my work day until 12 pm and have plenty of time in between clients to care for your sweet animals. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time before and after work I can ensure all pets will get the time and care they deserve. I have a big fenced yard that my dog freely runs in. Where I also take my bunny and cat on frequent walks. All of my pets are very friendly and love the company of other animals.

About: I grew up on a ranch, so I have extensive experience with all types of birds, horses, goats, cats, and dogs. I’ve house/pet sit for family and friends over the years. I have one fur baby of my own that stays with my parents when I’m not home. Dogs are the sweetest animals to walk this earth, change my mind. I work three days a week traveling, so I typically have 4 days a week available. Can travel in the Calaveras and Tuolumne county areas. My schedule give me the flexibility to check in with your pet throughout the day. Unfortunately, I don’t offer pet sitting for my house as I live with friends. I’m happy to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home/ safe space. I am ever vigilant on walks and take into account things like daily temperature when scheduling or planning walks/outings.

About: I have had many years of housesitting experience with came with caring for pets. I have also worked at a pet store and handled bathing dogs. I am free weekdays and weekends and am open to staying at a home for multiple days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be attending class 9:40 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. I have a friendly dog, a kitten and two outdoor cats as well as a fenced yard with tons of dog toys, treats and a small kennel. I make sure any hazardous things such as cleaning products and other harmful substances are out of the pet’s way and give frequent potty breaks. I take into account their feeding schedule and any medicine they may need.

“We recently moved to the area and were in need of someone to care for our senior cat. We found Linda and we are so glad we did! She is kind and professional and she takes her job seriously. She took great care of our kitty and even sent us pictures of a kitty that hangs around our property. We are happy knowing we have Linda for any cat care needs in the future.”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and when a dog is around, they truly come first. I’m someone people trust deeply with their animals — creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love spending time with animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I offer overnight dog stays in the Greater St. Louis area for as many days as you need; providing consistent, attentive, one-on-one care. Whether it’s a rainy wander near your neighborhood or a long weekend hike at a local park, your dog will be well-exercised, engaged, and happily included in my day-to-day life. I love being outdoors in all kinds of weather and come fully prepared with rain and snow gear — because dogs don’t stop having fun just because it’s cold outside! I’ve grown up with animals, raised two dogs of my own, and began animal sitting professionally in 2013. In most places that I have lived I have taken care of animals from Bend, Oregon, Seattle, Washington to Nantucket Island and now here in St. Louis. Although I have not stayed in someone's home here in StL, I did foster three dogs from the Humans Society of the past year. I have also provided extended stays caring for farm animals: two horses, three dogs, two cats, five chickens, and two donkeys. Those multi-week farm stays taught me the importance of multitasking, routine, and especially individualized, one-on-one care. Whether we’re out exploring or snuggling on the couch, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs and routines. I make sure the medicines are taken and the appropriate level of exercise is given depending on age and ability. I strive to provide happy, healthy, and fun care, while always prioritizing safety and comfort. Clear, accessible communication is important to me. While I’m caring for your dog, you can expect photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well and feeling at home. Your dog will be cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine affection — just like one of my own. Dog care is woven into my daily routine, not added on as an afterthought. I work part-time downtown St Louis from 8am-2pm, so I can plan my days around an animal’s needs. Whether it’s a calm early morning walk, an afternoon adventure, or quiet evening time at home, dogs are fully included in my schedule and receive consistent attention throughout the day. My routine allows me to be present, responsive, and focused on keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and consistent environment that follows the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I take time to follow instructions and ask questions so that I undoubtedly understand each animal’s feeding schedule, walk and exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and comfort preferences. Dogs in my care receive regular walks, outdoor time, play, companionship, and plenty of rest. I have a fenced in yard for off leash play. I prioritize one-on-one attention and never rush care. Whether we’re staying close to home or enjoying time outside, safety and comfort always come first. During overnight or extended stays, I maintain cleanliness, structure, and a relaxed atmosphere so pets feel secure. If I am at your home, it is treated as my own, and I am a particularly clean person. I also value clear communication and provide updates, photos, and notes, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“My experience having Autumn catsit has been terrific. Great communication and reliability. And she really seems to care about the little monster she is caring for. Highly recommended!!”

About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!

“Don’t even know where to start. Sabrina was absolutely fabulous! She was so good with my babies and made me feel such at ease while being away. She was so attentive and caring and I cannot thank her enough for her wonderful service! Juicy, Charlie and Kyrie adored her! Will definitely book with her again :)”
