“Brooklyn was so great and sent so many sweet pictures of our little girl! She made sure she had plenty of attention and play time while she was with her. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have two German Sheps & a Spicy Tortie. Experienced in medication administration & animals with limited movement abilities. Growing up I have cared for family friends’ and neighbors’ pets when they were away. I have trained all of my own dogs in English or other languages. My current kitty, even has picked up the training words. Pets have always been a huge part of my family’s households. They carry a special place in my heart. I am currently between jobs since moving to STL a couple months ago and would like to do something that I love with my time. My schedule changes all the time and is never the same. Just ask; I would love to help you and your fur babies out between any obligations. I have a locked, fenced small back yard and watchful nosy old lady neighbors for guardians of my property. I will ensure your pets are properly secured and safe between visits or play times. Just let me know their wishes.
“Nicki was awesome!! Great cat sitter, super easy to coordinate with.”
“Catelyn was amazing with my two elderly cats. Even the antisocial one loved her! She sent me daily updates with pictures. Catelyn was wonderful and made my vacation stress-free.”
About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion. I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.
“Ryan and Jennifer were nothing short of amazing! We got lots of cute kitty pictures of our little guy while we were out of state every day! Ryan was excellent at checking his litter boxes, following our medication routine and checking up with us if we had any concerns! Ryan even left us a super adorable picture of our cat for when we came home! Great communication, professional and kind humans, would recommend!”
“She did a great job looking after my rabbits. She was very attentive and not afraid to reach out if there were any questions or concerns. I would definitely book her again!”
“Taylor provided excellent care for my 20 year old baby kitty. Granted my girl sleeps about 20 hours a day, yet having Taylor stop by twice a day to give transdermal medicine in her ear plus sneak a pill into her wet food made for a relaxing week long getaway. Also Taylor sent lots of texts and photo updates, which makes being away from one’s fur babies a lot whole lot easier. I will definitely keep Taylor in mind for any future kitty care needs.”
About: I’ve always been around animals, from growing up with a cat to being in a large extended family that always had dogs and puppies around. I volunteered with my local animal shelter and have taken care of friends’ and family’s pets for years. Since I don’t currently have fur babies, I have a more flexible schedule that even allows me to house sit. Most recently, I stayed with a friend’s chinchilla while they traveled internationally. I spend a lot of time in both Belleville and St. Louis so I accept bookings on both sides of the river. I work about 6 hours in an office on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I own my own business, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to come by to check on fur babies or stay with them as needed. I am happy to come by your place to spend time with your fur baby! I especially look forward to taking pups on long walks, to the park (leashed or a dog park!), or just playing at home. I can also be available to stay with your fur baby while you travel. With cats, I’ve become quite good at giving them medication (I’ve helped my family give meds to a clawed kitty and I had a diabetic cat at one point…).
“Izzy was so sweet and attentive to our kitties! She updated us on them everyday and took such good care of them! Normally one of our cats does not like strangers at all and will hide the entire time, but she warmed up to Izzy fast! We will definitely rebook Izzy for any future trips!”
“Jessica was very flexible with schedule changes and my cat getting sick right before I was leaving. She is reliable and updated me with any changes she noticed with my cat. She was able to administer antibiotics and subq fluids. She provided ample amounts of love and cuddles to my cat which I really appreciated especially with me being away from home for the past week. Would definitely book Jessica again!”
“Caitlin was incredibly nice, communicative, and great to work with. She truly gave our pets excellent care and attention. Would definitely use her again the future”
“Morgan takes such great care of my cat! Jesse was as relaxed as ever when I got home, so I know he really enjoys her visits. She kept me updated and sent cute pics too! I’d highly recommend Morgan!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years. I have experience with my own pets and have also helped take care of friends and other family pets. I am very active and would love to have a furry companion to walk with! I am currently in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at WASHU so I am mostly free on the weekends. I can also do occasional weekdays after 5 PM. I understand how important it is that your pet gets the best care possible and will be more than happy to help spoil them for you. I can accommodate giving medicine or other special care requests. I am very active so I would love to have a companion to take on walks or runs.
“Mackenzie did drop-in visits for my two dogs for six days while I was out of town. This was the first time I've used Rover or a pet sitter. I am completely happy with her. She is responsible and reliable. She quickly picked up on my dogs' individual personalities and they absolutely loved her! She kept me updated daily and gave them the attention they needed. I will definitely use her again when my dogs need a sitter.”
“Reka was amazing with Ruby! We went out of town for the weekend, and she was great with making sure she had all the info needed, communicating with us throughout, and just making sure everything was smooth!”
