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: 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.

“McKenzie was super sweet, responsive and knowledgeable of dogs! We felt confident leaving Autumn in her care!”

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: 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.

“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: I have over 20 years experience taking care of other people’s “fur babies”. I love them like they are mine. I am very responsible, dependable, observant and able to handle any unexpected situations that might arise. I am self-employed and work part-time so I have a lot of availability. I have the ability (and desire) to give pets quality time and attention. Every pet is unique and their needs are different. Some pets prefer physical connection while others prefer having a ball thrown for them to chase. Like us, pets each have their own love language. I endeavor to “speak” love in the language each pet prefers.

“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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals, along with a strong focus on tailored care for each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime and check-ins. I'm flexible and committed to working around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve every single day. Whether it's a short-term visit or long-term care, I make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comforting as possible. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a secure, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to ensure their pet feels safe in a familiar setting. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s fully secured and free of hazards. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and always provide plenty of love, enrichment, and downtime to help pets feel at ease. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands.

About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

About: Our family of five all love animals. We currently care for our 11 year old cat, but we have had collective experience caring for multiple cats and dogs in the past. We have experience with large dog breeds, puppies, and kittens. In the past 16 years, our family has rescued and rehomed or cared for 6 different animals. Our 10 year old daughter loves cats. Our 6 year old son wants desperately to run around with and love on a dog. And our 9 month old gets so excited whenever he sees any fur baby. Our family would be happy to care for your pet in your absence. We are happy to keep you updated on the status of your pet and provide love, care and fun during your pets stay with us! I am a stay at home Mom and only work on freelance basis. I am home most days and throughout the day with my youngest while my other kids are in school. My husband is home most nights, and our family works as a team. We will do so to care for your pet as well, so your pet has lots of love and care from many. We have a fenced yard and a shy 11 year old cat who likes to stay in her room most days. We have plenty of room in our home and a decent backyard with lots of walking trails nearby.
