About: My family has always had at least one dog in our house since I was five. The dogs have ranged from 10 pounds all the way up to a friendly 100 pound black lab. So I am comfortable with taking care of any size dog and/or cat! I am a full time pharmacy student so I have classes throughout the week however I have plenty of free time between classes. I also have availability on the weekends depending on my exam schedule. I am all for meeting your pets beforehand in order to make sure they are comfortable with me before I take care of them or take them on a walk. It will also give me an opportunity to learn if you have any specific requests or if your pet has any special needs.
“Janet was wonderful taking our senior dog on walks!”
“Rachel is great! She was able to meet up before our trip during the holiday season. She is kind, a great communicator and helpful beyond our dog walking needs.”
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: Hi there! I’ve been caring for pets of friends and family for the past few years, and I truly love every moment of it. Dog sitting and walking brings me so much joy—I treat every pup like they’re my own. I pay close attention to detail and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable, safe, and at ease. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or giving extra belly rubs, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care! I am college student who is on summer break currently! I have a nurse extern job this summer but I have a wide availability for the next 3 months! I do not care for pets in my home but when in a client’s home I always follow the regimen and rules they suggest and I am comfortable with whatever the client’s needs are :)
“My mother and I share a dog, and since I had hip surgery, we needed someone to help out with the dog walking. Christi was the perfect choice! It was love at first sight for both Tandi and Christi. During each visit, Tandi gets her zoomies, and runs through the house with joy because her Christi has come to share a fun walk with her. We feel so blessed to have found Christi and would highly recommend her for your beloved pet.”
“Lexi was great with Maggie! Maggie seems to have enjoyed herself and loved exploring the neighborhood on her walk today.”
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 around animals my whole life, dog-sitting, walking, and I am even going to school now to become a veterinary assistant. I have two cats of my own in which, I, of course adore, I’ve owned dogs of my own and own dogs now and couldn’t ask for more. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and work with you! I am currently in school and trying to find a part-time job, but I try to be as available as possible. I am available every day from 12pm and however late you need me! I am completely open during the weekend!! I know it takes a lot of trust to let someone into your home you barely know, but I can assure you I will leave your home exactly how I left or better than what is was. I am willing to send videos or pictures as a check in!
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!
“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: I started out watching my neighbors dog when he was out of town. When I saw that some others in our neighborhood were looking for reliable in home pet care I offered to help, so that is how it all started. We have been pet sitting for about 7 years now. We have a lot of regulars. I'm also looking to extend my services to day care, walking, and soon training. This is a family gig, I am home Mon-Fri, and my husband is here on the weekends while I work. Our 9 y/o twin daughters are very helpful and involved in taking care of our guests-this is really their gig, but I do 90% of the work....shhhh...don't tell them! Our dog guests absolutely love it here! We think your dog will love it here too! I work Saturday and Sunday, but I am off work Mon-Fri, and my husband is home from work in the evenings and on the weekends. So pretty much someone will be at home with your pet the majority of their stay. We have 9 y/o twin daughters who help out with a lot -playing, walking, feeding, grooming, etc. Depending on your needs or wants, we can coordinate extras-walks, grooming, special dietary needs (we make fresh food for one of our guests that has a sensitive tummy), etc. We have a fenced in backyard. They will be let out for playtime and potty time as needed. Your dog will have free rein of our house (as long as they are potty trained, and there are no other extenuating circumstances).
“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 been taking care of pets my whole life. I currently have a very sweet 14 year old boxer mix that loves to be social. I work from home most days. If I have to leave it’s usually no more that 4-6 hours at a time. I need to fill space here but there’s not much else to say. I have a decent back yard and plenty of beds around the house. I am open and available to care for your pet as needed.
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.
