She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.

Mikayla did a great job looking after my babies and communicating! She sent plenty of pictures and was even kind enough to wash the sheets for the room she stayed in. I really appreciate her services and will definitely use her for future pet care needs!

Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!

Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!

About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.

We hired Meghan to watch our pets in our home. She was a respectful guest and took wonderful care of our pets! She went above and beyond working with us to reschedule our travel plans due to inclement weather. She provided excellent communication, with lots of updates and pictures of how our pets were doing. We would recommend her to anyone and would love to work with her again. Thanks Meghan!

About: Hi! My name is Maria and I live in St. Louis with my dog, Aviva. I love animals and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet ownership as well as petsitting for others. I enjoy providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am an experienced pet and house sitter with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and animals with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and providing post-operative care following surgeries and medical procedures. As a dog owner myself, I walk 3–5 miles daily and am happy to accommodate pets that require longer walks and higher activity levels. I also have experience handling large dogs and managing a variety of temperaments, including reactive pets, as my own dog is a 70-pound reactive dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a remote worker, I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house and stay active. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for drop in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and walks during the workday, while also having longer blocks of time available in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. I walk several miles a day with my own dog, so regular walks and exercise are already an important part of my routine. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and their owner's routine. Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or providing drop in visits and walks, I prioritize keeping their schedule as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. For cats, I focus on maintaining a clean litter box and respecting each cat's comfort level and personality.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience, including volunteering at the Humane Society. I provide dependable, caring walks and treat every dog like family. I work full time for the St Louis Blues but I have an hour long lunch, work ends at 4 pm and I have most weekends available. I grew up with dogs my whole life so I am more than comfortable around dogs all shapes and sizes. I love to walk so they'll get plenty of exercise. I volunteer at the humane society so I feel more than comfortable creating a safe environment. I live alone and have no pets so I will be able to give your dog my full attention.

Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.

About: I focus on personalized care for every pet, whether it’s keeping up with a playful puppy’s training routine or giving extra patience and comfort to senior pets. I pay close attention to their behavior, stick to their normal schedule, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m currently unemployed as of right now so I’m available anytime! Monday - Friday Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, so I’m able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets get consistent attention throughout the day and adjust my routine as needed to meet each pet’s needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether they’re in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions to help pets feel comfortable in their own space. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I always make sure pets get lots of affection and updates are shared with owners.

About: I have been taking training, looking after, and loving pets for as long as I can remember. My grandmother, a liscenced trainer, has taught me everything I know from puppy care, crate training, leash training, to medication administration and food aggression. I have also had a lot of experience with rescues and more skiddish dogs. I have cared for dogs ranging from the ages of 3 weeks old to 15 years old. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with a fenced backyard. I recently moved from Washington state back to Missouri with my fiancé and I’ve also had a new baby girl so I have a lot of free time on my hands currently. I am available on all weekdays and on all weekends. Everyday I would take my dog out for a quick walk before I left for work, at that time she also gets an apple, refill on water and her morning vitamins/treats with breakfast. When I get home I let her go potty then we go over routine training, with many treats of course, then to the dog park. On occasion we stop to get a pup cup and coffee on the way home. She then has dinner and her nighttime vitamins, I brush her teeth an it’s bedtime. For my 2 cats we have breakfast at 9am. wet and dry food with vitamins then we change the litter. We have treats throughout the day then dinner, wet and dry food with vitamins, at 8pm.

Jason did a terrific job. He made an immediate connection with our dogs and was very mindful of instructions for the care of our senior dog that requires additional attention. He stayed in constant communication with us and left our home in great condition. Highly recommend!

I’d give more stars if I could. I had a sitter cancel last minute but Emma swooped in and I ended up in a way better position. Super nice, communicative, responsible. Mowgli had a phenomenal time. He may like emma more than me.

We were thrilled with the care Madison provided for our 6-month-old Maltipoo, Gracie. Madison arrived on time to be met with an energetic welcome from Gracie, welcomed our instructions and gave us confidence from the first moment that she would take good care of Gracie during our evening out. She sent pictures of Gracie who clearly was enjoying her time with Madison. When we arrived back home, she was in no rush to leave and spent a few more minutes with us and Gracie in a new friendship. We would love to have her back.
