Emma was extremely pleasant upon first meeting her and was very accommodating to my dog. While away, my dog suffered a medical emergency and because of Emma’s attention to detail, understanding of canine behavior and quick decision making, my dog survived a very dire situation. Although this is never how I would want any pet sitting experience to go, this has given me the utmost and complete trust and faith in Emma to watch my pet(s) and she will always be my first and preferred choice. Emma was very attentive to all of my dog’s needs during their time together and has even followed up during his recovery to check in on him. She is truly a kind, caring, and compassionate pet sitter and I would give her 10/5 stars if I could.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received while I was away! Jamie went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. Sparky is an elderly guy, but Jamie kept him in his routine, which helped so much. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and treating my dogs like your own!

Brandy did a great job caring for our dogs. She stayed with them the entire time we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated her reliability and dedication.

I am so forever grateful for Matt!!! He is the most dependable, flexible, patient person on this planet. Aside for accommodating my schedule during a very chaotic, crazy time, when I got home, my dog was the happiest and most well adjusted she’s been while I had to go out of town. I know he played with her a LOT. I got a lot of photos and videos. I cannot emphasize enough how dependable Matt is. Very hard to find in this world. Thank you, Matt! Amazing job!

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.

Isabel took excellent care of our two dogs in our home while we were out of town for a week. I appreciated her check-ins and pictures. She went above and beyond our expectations. Our dogs are not always the easiest to walk and she still walked each of them every day. Thank you!!!

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.

About: I'm comfortable with all dog sizes, though am physically limited for some walking (up to 30 minutes per walk), tugging, and lifting. I have plenty of experience giving injections and oral medications. I have a lot of experience training puppies and aided my senior pup who was blind, deaf, and had dementia at the end. I do not mind having to change doggie diapers, either. I also have some experience with hamsters, pigs, birds, snakes, chickens, goats, sheep, horses, etc. I am a stay at home mom to two independent teens and have several pets of my own. I am available most days and times, whether for checking in on your pets, or staying the night so they don't get too lonely. If you have a contained/caged animal (like rodents, snakes, etc) that needs to stay out of your house for a given time, that can be discussed. I am unable to keep loose animals in my home due to my own pets. I can feed the pets on or off of a schedule, give medications when necessary, clean up after them (outdoor and indoor), brush them, give lots of cuddles and play time. I don't mind kennel/crating them or helping to train the animals. I also have experience with Fluent Pet buttons/talking pets.

Bella is super communicative and trustworthy! She watched my large shepherd mix, who can sometimes be reactive to other dogs, without any problems. My dog took to her right away during the meet and greet! Would absolutely recommend booking with her!

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
