About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I am retired and am 60 years old. I am looking for a way to be of service in my community. I am available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I am retired and would like to be of service to people in the community. Unfortunately, I am not able to care for your pet in my home. However, I would be willing to care for your pet in your home

“They are the best! We’ve used them twice now and had a great experience each time. Joseph even took extra care of the house and the cats and brought them a toy. I would highly recommend them!”


About: I’ve had my current dog for over 8 years, along with many before him. My current dog is dog and cat friendly. I work at a no kill, large shelter in St. Louis with experience handling all types of dogs. I’m currently working 4 days a week so I have plenty of time after work and on the weekends to take on and care for your animal while you are away. I have a fenced yard and home in the country. I have an animal friendly dog and a spare crate and supplies to accommodated your pet.

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!

About: I’ve grown up around big and small dogs all my life. I have also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors and love to take my German shepherd on runs. I live at home right now and am taking one class online and work-part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets and snuggle them. I make sure the animal will stay within boundaries if they have to stay in a fence and will make sure that they get all meds needed or food on time.

“Holly really made sure my dog was taken care of while i was gone. She always took her for a brief walk, and always arrived on time to her check-ins. She also takes lots of photos so you won’t have to speculate how ur dog is doing! I would 100% book her again when the time comes”


“My cat loved Autumn on the day we met for my cat and Autumn to meet each other, and to go over everything expected. My cat ran up to her and started rubbing on Autumn, looking for affection. Autumn spoke to my cat and gave her attention. It was easy to see that my cat was fed and watered while I was away. My cat was very calm when I returned from vacation. Yes, I will definately ask Autumn to pet sit again.”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life and I have been getting paid to care for people‘s pets since I was 15. I am very experienced in pet care whether it be just to walk the dog around the block, administer medicine, hang out with them in the backyard while they have outside time. Whatever the need is I can definitely cater to it! I am a part time employee at FedEx during the day/week. I am available every other Monday anytime and also available anytime on Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays and early/afternoon on Saturdays I can care for your pet in any way you need whether it be to walk them, stay outside with them while they use the restroom. Hang out with them for periods of time so they don’t get anxiety. Even if they just need a good petting and consoling while their owner is gone as I know some dogs can get very nervous without their owner around. Whatever your pets needs may be I got you covered!

About: We feel blessed to serve your pet! My teenage daughter and I are a team and have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats (even cows and sheep). We love animals! Our neighbors, friends and family rely on us to drop in on their pets to feed, play and love on them while they are away. We appreciate your business and look forward to meeting your furry family member. ♥️ I work Monday through Friday during the day but am available for early mornings drop-ins and anytime after 3pm during the work week for a drop-in and play. Full flexibility on the weekends. I have experience with giving medication and injections. Our dog requires daily (am and pm doses) apoquel tablets and weekly allergy shots so we are familiar with allergies and giving injections as well. Whether you’re working late or out of town, we can stop by and give your pet some love and care. We will be happy to adapt to your routine and drop-in as requested for feedings, treats, medication, belly rubs and play. We can send you pictures, videos and updates as often as desired.


“Leigh was a wonderful sitter for our attention-loving cat. This is the first time using a service to hire a sitter and we were a little nervous and unsure, but it was necessary for our 10-day trip. Our cat has a little separation anxiety after being home with us all the time during the pandemic, but Leigh helped her to feel loved and at ease. Leigh was thoughtful, detailed in her attention to our cat and her needs, and was so patient when a few unexpected things came up. She even watered the plants, brought in the mail, and was sure to clean up scattered litter on the floor beneath & around the litter box. We’ve already booked Leigh to drop-in during our next trip. Thanks for putting our mind at ease! ?”


“Maci did exactly what I ask of her. She showed up everyday I had her scheduled at the time we discussed. My kitties warmed up to her. Maci is the absolute best. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life big and small. From a Great Pyrenees to a Boston Terrier. I stay active with cardio daily so running or walking and especially playing with your pet is no problem! I am looking to not only love your pet like my own, but give them all the love, care, and attention they need. I’m working with full availability as of now so anytime works for me! All I ask is a few days notice so that I may prepare in any ways necessary! How I may care for a client’s pet in their home varies on the service they need and the type of environment I will be working in. All details can be discussed once you reach out to me!

About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I started volunteering with a pet rescue around 2016 and have fostered many cats and dogs. I have experience taking care of dogs with allergies and skin conditions including giving topical and oral medications. I understand the importance of strict and/or special diets and also the degree to which some dogs rely on a schedule. I currently only do volunteer pet rescue work and have plenty of free time to help folks who need drop in visits. My only time constraint currently is that I can only do drop-ins during school hours, roughly 9am-2pm. In my experience with many different cats and dogs over the years fostering, I love getting to know all the different personalities and believe that the utmost care should be taken in regards to making sure your pets are well taken care of. Whether that is in regard to food, medication or even just their own personal quirks.

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. They seem to respond to me well. I can usually figure out their needs and accommodate them. I have plenty of time on my hands currently. I am unemployed from the United States Postal Service. I am looking for enjoyable part time companionship with your dog. I enjoy walking! I have a great spot. It's a 2 mile round trip threw the woods down to the creek and back to the top of the hill. There's pretty cools spots to stop along the way. We have what I call the boyscout camp it's a small clearing in the woods, there is a beautiful maple tree,that just started growing back there. Lots to sniff. Then up a small hill to the trail down the the waterfall and then on to the creek. Of course we'll stop at the water fall. Either on the way down or back up. We'll hit parks in town or you're neighborhood. Or whatever is your dogs favorite spot. I don't have other dogs or kids. Just a couple of cats. And yes they re typical cats about dog's, Not impressed. But not to worry we won't be messing with any kitties. And did I mention that the 2 mile hike threw the woods is on private property. So no ther people or kids or dogs. We might see the occasional deer or turkey run by. Also I'm new to rover. Not sure what price should be. Open to suggestions. Thank you. I hope to be hearing form you and your dog soon! Best regards, Nikki I offer dog walking I come to you pick up your dog. we have fun, we'll find a good spot for all your dogs sniffing and other needs.I don't have dogs at my house only cats. I live in the woods so we can enjoy nature . We'll walk the neighborhood you live in or go adventuring close by. Safe and fun. Your dog will be happy when they come back.

About: Being raised in a family that has such a deep love for dogs has helped me realize that dogs are much more than just dogs. I have such a deep love for dogs and have great patience with all sorts of dogs. I am currently a summer ball coach for a team in DeSoto. I have a very flexible schedule and can help with animals throughout the week and late nights. I cannot work weekends due to the baseball schedule. I am unable to bring dogs to my house due to the dogs and puppies that we currently have but I am more than open to going to owners homes. This would include me taking care of not only the dog but the home. Cleaning up after the dogs and making sure the home is tidy before leaving the home. Having a lot of experience with dog sitting provides the understanding of when to feed and how to feed.

“When our 19-year-old dog (Scruffy) got diagnosed with heart failure, my husband and I thought a vacation was impossible to do. Our dog needs medication twice a day and new ailments pop up all the time. Jennifer was the best possible choice to watch my dogs. She was in constant contact and very observant of Scruffy's changing habits. In every picture she took, my dogs looked incredibly happy, well fed, and loved. Our vacation was so relaxing knowing Jennifer was taking care of both Scruffy and our younger dog Haku. I unfortunately can't express in writing how much Jennifer's hard work and dedication to our babies meant to both me and my husband. She is a true professional, extremely caring to both my dogs, and incredibly empathetic to my concerns and worries leaving my dogs for a week. By the end of the first day of my vacation, I felt completely relaxed and relieved they had such a good sitter watching them and playing with them. Jennifer deserves all my praises and my deepest thanks.”


About: I love all dogs. I have had dogs since I was little and enjoy everything about them. My dog of 18 years passed away right before my son was born so we currently dont have any pets but we are anxiously awaiting our sons 2nd birthday to get the newest puppy addition to our family. We go on frequent outdoor walks in the parks and do lots of hiking. I can accomodate dogs with special care instructions and medical needs as well. Since I am a stay at home mom to my 18 month old son who adores dogs as much as I do, there will never be a dull moment for your dog. We offer loads of love, affection, playtime, treats if allowed, and of course fun.
