About: I’ll treat your baby like mine when they’re in my care. I’m the kind to have a closest for my dog’s clothes. I love playing fetch with the pups all day and then chilling with them on the couch at night. They’re in good care with me. I have a puppy of my own and my whole schedule is curated around him. My weekends are for home time. So I’ll be around for the and ready for a walk or check in. I have a fenced in yard with lots of shade that’s decently private and is safe. There is no weird or questionable things sitting in my yard. My pup loves it out there.

About: I’ve raised two dogs myself, a hound mix and a German shepherd/Labrador mix. I may need as many walks as dogs do, so I’m your girl when it comes to dog walking! I do have a very flexible schedule most days, so I should be available to play with or walk your pup whenever you need it! I offer check-ins and walks. I do not have pets in my own home, but I am available to dog-sit in the owners home. I feel that’s where the dog will be most comfortable anyway.

About: I’ve had my dog Teddy for three years, and my cat Squash for two. I love animals of all kinds and have been asked by family and friends since a young age to help them take care of animals. I’m gentle with touch but firm with my voice, love to train and spoil them, and adore going on walks. Your pets will be in good hands with me My schedule is really open right now, so I’m available for whatever your pet may need. I understand how important schedules can be, which is why I like being flexible. I’m very good at making sure that all the necessary tasks are met first when I get into the house, then if I’m allowed to, I usually try and spend a little time with that animal to gain their trust.

About: I had a dog growing up and always loved walking around with him. He made me get up and be outside everyday and now I just have a general live for pets and the outdoors. I’m currently a full time student and have a part time job. My schedule is kind of weird so I have Wednesday through Monday available to take care of pets. Starting Wednesday after 3:50 and ranging to about anytime Friday-Sunday. The only day I’m not available is Tuesday but depending on your need we might be able to work around that. I have experience with some bigger dogs but mostly with smaller dogs and cats. I would keep all dogs leashed at all times and make sure cats have any food of water they need.

About: I’ve mostly had cats growing up, but I absolutely love dogs as well. I would be happy to take good care of your fur babies! I do have a job in Washington Missouri, so I would need to build my schedule around that. I work weekdays 7-3 and have weekends off. I actually just moved to St Clair and am in the process of introducing my cat and my boyfriend’s cat. Introducing cats is a very long process, but I am willing to take whatever amount of time that is needed to make sure we don’t rush things! I also think it is super important for owners to be able to trust the sitters because there are so many horror stories you hear about other peoples’ experiences. I am the perfect trustworthy person for the job!

I’m adequate at cleaning up any messes dogs may make. I am good for afternoon to evening visits. I work until 4 pm on the week days. I’m free all day on my weekends of Saturday and Sunday. I’m very attentive to how dogs react to me. If they are on the timid side, I try to let them warm up to me. If they are on the playful more energetic side then I will be much more playful.

About: I have taken care of my animals 5 years and my family animals since a kid. My own dog has epilepsy so I know what to look for and what to do in that situation. I know how to give medication. I currently work at the Zipline in Stanton so it’s not a set schedule. With that I take care of them before I leave or really I take care of them first in the morning. I have two very loving dogs who love to play outside with others. My backyard is big and fenced in. And I have baby gates to keep them out of things they shouldn’t have.

About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

About: Fun, reliable, and safe care for your best friend is here! In my home or yours, walks and playing, or just a quick stop to make sure they potty and eat I got you! I am always excited to meet new furry friends :) I currently work 4 days a week. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are part of our daily routine for walks, playing, and snuggles. Weekends around here are generally pretty chill but even on busy weekends there’s always time for extra furry friends in our lives! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs in my home. When it’s potty time doggies are leashed to ensure no one runs away. Whether my home or yours I’ll make sure your best furry friend is comfortable. Need to be crated? I got you! Need to snuggled? You got it!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 but I have had my own pets since birth. I have had a Pug, Golden Retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and some mutts. The cats have mostly been strays we have took in but I have also worked with main coons and Savannah cats. I have yet to meet a breed i didn’t love. I also have worked in several places where I take care of bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I can also give meds as I just recently lost a pup who I was giving seizure medication to. So I am prepared if that does happen with your animals as well. I also have a dog who had anxiety who we gave medication to. I’m A stay at home mom currently who is trying to earn some income to save up for Christmas. I am available anytime day or night. I would prefer to watch at your place, but I do have a Leash they can be hooked to as well as a pretty big crate that most dogs can fit into! I do have 2 small children that they would be around if they did stay with me!


About: Hi there! I'm Kristen, and I am so excited to meet and care for your four legged babies! Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine, and providing your pets with quality care while allowing you peace of mind is my promise. I truly understand just how much they mean to you. I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs (plus a few fish and turtles over the here and there)! Before I had my son, I was employed full time at an animal hospital & pet lodge, working reception, kennels (doggy daycare, walks, feeding, 1:1 play time, etc) and assisting with patients working directly with veterinarians in the hospital. My time there not only expanded my veterinary knowledge but my experience in caring for a large variety of different cats and dogs. I have an 8 year old son who’s a HUGE animal lover himself. If your pet likes kiddos, I can happily bring him with me, and if not that’s ok too! (He can always stay with my husband) We are new to Hermann and currently have our one sweet cat. My schedule is incredibly flexible and essentially wide open at this point. I would love to become your pet caregiver for the upcoming summer months and beyond! I would be happy to share references upon your request. Can’t wait to hear from you! As of right now, my schedule is incredibly flexible! My 8 year old begins summer break after 5/16, but I can easily bring him with me if that’s okay with you! I am unable to offer care in my home at this time, but I can provide walks, check-ins, or overnights in your home. I’m available weekdays, nights, weekends and holidays.

“Kailey was so sweet and so responsive. She took great care of my pup and even took her on a long walk- such a blessing for my pup’s sanity! ?Thanks Kailey- we look forward to seeing you again!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. They never fail to make me happy and out a smile on my face :). Some call me an animal whisperer, animals are usually drawn to me anywhere I go! I’ve cared for all types of animals ranging from dogs and cats to even reptiles! I go to school and work part time. I’m available on weekends, and my days off while I go to school I’m available after 12pm. Otherwise I'm working and am available after 4pm. I have two very sweet lovable female cats, who can be separated from other pets if preferred. I have a small fenced in part of my yard, and a large unfenced part of land perfect for going on walks. Pets are definitely aloud to sleep and lay on the couch and my bed if their owners allows it :)

“Sheila is very attentive and loving with our fur babies! She is super flexible and accommodating to our schedule and needs. I would highly recommend Sheila as your sitter!”


Abigail K.
“Abby is fantastic! She loves all our pets (cats/dogs/turtle) as if they are her own. She’s very attentive and ensures they are well cared for, loved, snuggled, and gives lots of attention. Wherever Abby comes over, they all (well, not the turtle) flock to her for attention/scratches. Will always use Abby when schedules align and highly recommend you do too.”
