“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”
About: I grew up in a family full of vets, animal enthusiasts, and even zoo staff! I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes- even raccoons, birds, reptiles, rodents, and of course many cats and dogs! I have a pretty regular schedule each week so it is very easy for me to plan around in order to take care of your furry friends. I have extensive knowledge of pet care and nutrition for my own cats and dog, and I will treat your babies as my own while under my care, ensuring they are happy and healthy at all times! Happy to follow any requests or routines.
About: I have fostered 140 animals over the last 6 years and volunteer at a local animal shelter to walk and bathe dogs. My experience with animals spans from puppies from the age of 3 weeks up to senior dogs up to 14 years old. I am comfortable working with animals with special needs such as dogs with reactivity, the tendency to pull or leash grab, as well as dogs recovering from heartworm and kennel cough. I also have three of my own whom I love dearly. I have a passion for animals and cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I work 4 days a week as a Physical Therapist and have Sunday-Monday off to spend time with your pups/kitty cats! I may open up more availability as I am able. I am proficient in leash management, comfortable walking up to 5 dogs at a time, and pick up on your dog’s cues (fatigue, thirst, discomfort, reactivity, etc.) to ensure a safe environment for your pets.
“My dogs love Christi! She has a super positive attitude and lots of availability. She takes the time to take great pictures while on the walk. She definitely puts my dogs to work because they're much less antsy when I come from home from work after she's walked them”
“Frances has been so flexible and helpful with Choco and I’s change to an apartment lifestyle! Choco was very energtic and happy when I got home because of his mid day walk. I am soooo grateful to have Frances available to provide that for him!”
About: Must love dogs! ( and kids). Always a fun stay here. Fenced in yard and lots of love. Must be great with other dogs. Senior golden here. I work during the week and my wife is home and my wife works on the weekends and I'm home. Two 8 year old girls who adore animals are also here. Regular potty breaks. Regular walks. Lots of love. Free rein of the backyard if needed. A full water bowl and two full squares a day.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I have experience with everything from dogs, to cats, to lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, rats, etc. There has never been a moment I have been without an animal in my life. Currently, I have two dogs, Karma and Panda. Aside from my own animals, I actively volunteer at the shelters around me, which is where I adopted both of my dogs. I love animals unconditionally, no matter what kind. I am able to walk, feed, watch, petsit, groom, play or anything else that may be needed for them. Size and age is not an issue for me. I have worked at dog daycare, pet sat for many and have some experience in grooming. I am part time at the YMCA from M-TH 4 pm - 7 pm. Other than that, I am available to take care of animals as needed. I have a fenced in yard, and an energetic dog to keep your fur babies entertained! I am able to fulfill any needs for your pets safety.
About: I have 11+ years of in-home pet care for all breeds of dogs, cats, and even some very personable lizards and amphibians. I LOVE sending photos of happy pets to their parents on vacation and I have experience with administering medications, giving insulin and other shots, and care of senior animals. We have three dogs and two cats of our own, all with their own little special needs and quirks. I cared for my senior special needs kitty, Sophie, for almost 10 years before she recently passed and I know what it means to give your all into the care of a member of the family. I know how stressful it can be when you're traveling and worried about your pets back at home (because I'm CONSTANTLY worried about mine), so I'm always happy to provide updates, photos, and videos. I work in the St. Louis metro area with a relatively flexible schedule and I can work from home easily to accommodate pets who need extra potty breaks or attention. When I hire a petsitter for our travels, safety and trust are my two main priorities. I value myself on extending the same quality of safety and trustworthiness to my petsitting clients as I would expect from someone staying in my own home! I prefer to meet the pets/client ahead of time to make everyone as comfortable as possible with my presence and as mentioned, love sending updates of all sorts while clients are traveling.
“Abby was amazing. Great communicator/ on time /responsible, and she even got a toy for our dog. I definitely will recommend her to family and friends. I will keep her number for the future. Thank you, Abby, for your excellent services.”
“Tara did a great job walking Maddie in the blistering heat . She accepted the job on the same day as I was sick and unable to leave my apartment. She made sure Maddie didn’t get overheated, but got all her “business” done. I will certainly use her again!”

About: I have taken care of dog for friends for many years when they go out of town and I always love it. I’ve taken care of pits, chihuahuas, German shepherds, and Shizu’s. I love all sorts of dogs and I’m very good at reading their body language! I am currently working part time and am looking for a way to make extra money before school starts and during the semester. I am very active and go on walks daily already so I may as well have a walking companion! I have a water bowl and food bowl from a previous pet my boyfriend and I used to have. We also have snacks for when we dog sit for our friends. I live very close to Forest Park so finding a huge field to play fetch wouldn’t be a problem!
About: I've always had pets. I couldn't imagine life without them. You can rely on me to give you're little buddy the attention he needs while you can't be home with them. I am currently not working so I am looking for something to keep me busy. I have plenty of time to watch your little guy. Every doggie loves long walks and park visits. There's nothing like a little sun and nature to lift their spirits. I am able to give them medicine if need be or crating.
