About: I grew up on a ranch with all kinds of animals, so I’ve taken care of every size from quail to horses. I started watching other people’s animals when I was 13, from feeding friends 4H projects to staying at a house with someone’s dog. I’m currently working part time, just graduated from Sacramento State, and am currently looking for a nursing program. I typically have evenings free and a couple hours in the morning depending on my schedule for the week. I’m very flexible and willing to work around or with anything! My work schedule does come out weekly so I cannot guarantee that I will be available at the same time every week and my shifts vary in length, anywhere from 4-8 hours. I don’t offer care in my own home currently as I live in an apartment. But I’m more than willing to watch them in your home to help them stay in their routine!

“Michelle was an amazing cat sitter! She provided plenty of photos and detailed updates throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every visit that she genuinely loves and cares about cats, and she gave our cat lots of attention and affection. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

“The dogs were at first meeting defensive which is natural. Within minutes they relaxed and were comfortable with Tylyn. Nice pictures were taken everyday, the yard was cleaned up and she did a little extra watering. I was very comfortable with her dropping in for a total of nine days.”

“Elizabeth is the best!! She came prepared with her notebook for the “meet and great” and was super communicative from start to finish. She even sent me pictures of my kitties every day. Would highly recommend!!”

“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”

About: I grew up with a ton of dogs on a ranch so I have always loved animals. I have housesat, walked, watched, etc. All types of dogs from tiny poodles to giant great Pyrenees. I also have experience with cats, birds, and other pets! Animals and pets are so sweet and special and I love making them happy :) I'm currently looking for jobs in my field so I'm happy for pets to fill up my schedule until then. With enough notice I can be available for weeks, weekends, or whenever needed I personally have a fenced in yard that my dog loves to play fetch in. I always try to make the pet happy by spending lots of time with them and helping them feel included whenever possible

“Just like last time, she was prompt with responses and worked with me to adjust a time that works for both of us 🤗 Pepper was nice and calm when I got home!”

Mary A.

“Great pet sitter for our weekend away. He made sure to spend quality time with our pet and provide helpful updates. We will be using William in the future for sure.”

Aoife A.

“Michael was timely, communicative, and very accommodating for my last second schedule change. I would definitely trust him with my pets again!”

Ivan U.

“Riley was very detail oriented, prompt, and friendly and my cat warmed up to him immediately. He is going to be my #1 choice of sitter in St. Louis!”

About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs over the last 10 years, mainly for family and friends, and have grown a small client base via referrals. I like to focus on existing routines, patience, and love and care. If your pet ever needs extra reassurance, I’m happy to slow things down and keep visits low-stress. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty of time for your pets! Weekday mornings and evenings are open for walks, preferably early for summer hours. I have open weekday availability for drop-ins (within 15 miles), and open availability for overnights. I have a yard with plenty of space with no other competing pets. I’m happy to crate if that is what’s desired, but I’m also happy letting your pet have free rein over space in my home. When house sitting, I prefer to take the same approach and let your pet maintain their comfort within their home as they’re used to.

About: Student with 6 years of pet care experience and two cats, including a 16-year-old senior cat. Comfortable administering medications and providing loving, reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 I am working part time now, with a lot of availability in the morning and evenings along with the weekends. I do help out some other with yard maintenance I have a fully fenced backyard, for my cats but does it really keep them in? Nope, it doesn’t. I also give my long haired cat a bath every 2 weeks.

“Donna is amazing with our Australian cattle dog, who usually does not except people in our home when we are not home. She has created such an amazing bond with our girl that the moment Donna walks into our home. She is super excited to see her again. Donna always goes above and beyond with our home and our girl.”

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!

“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”

“5/5 Stars! I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Hillary and her husband provided to my beloved dog, Taz! From the moment I dropped Taz off, I knew I was leaving him in capable and compassionate hands. Despite a few unexpected mishaps, including Taz's Houdini-like escape into a prepared crate in the house, Hillary and her husband handled the situation with professionalism and calm. They ensured Taz was safe, happy, and fed on time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Hillary and her husband apart, however, is the genuine love and care they show to the dogs in their charge. It's clear they have a deep passion for animals and take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. I highly recommend Hillary and her husband to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. They are trustworthy, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Taz – I'm forever grateful!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have always loved animals. I’ve owned my dog for the past 8 years and have also had 12 cats throughout my life, including caring for 8 at one time. Being part of a multi-pet household has made me responsible, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I’m very active and love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. I’m available on Mon, Wed, Thur after 3 PM and after 2 on Tues and Fri. Saturdays and Sundays are usually fully open! I’m happy to do walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever I’m free. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I follow their routines and keep their space clean and organized.

About: To me, a dog is first and foremost a friend — and in my home, a treasured guest who gets to keep their own habits. My goal isn't to make them fit my routine, but to help them feel calm, happy, and at home. With over 10 years of caring for animals, this has always been about friendship and respect for me, never just "pet-sitting." Comfort and safety first. I create a comfortable, safe space built on what matters most: love, respect for personal boundaries, and genuine care. Your dog should feel protected and accepted from the very first moment. A little joy every day. Dogs love their walks, so if yours usually goes out once or twice a day, with me we'll head out more often. Playtime happens every single day, and there are plenty of cuddles and conversations along the way — dogs really feel that. Careful with food and health. Meals and medication stay right on schedule. Many dogs will only eat when someone sits with them, so I stay by their side at mealtimes to make sure they actually eat and feel supported. I'm happy to care for dogs with special needs and those who need medication. A home where they can relax. I don't burden dogs with unnecessary rules — furniture and favorite spots are all theirs, just like home. Your dog gets to feel free here, not like a guest on someone else's terms. What you can count on from me. Detailed photo and video updates twice a day, so you can relax knowing your companion is doing well. I work from home, which means your dog has company and supervision all day long. I live in a secure, gated community with enclosed grounds — a calm, safe place to stay. Your dog won't just be "boarded" here — they'll be a guest in a friend's home. My care for your pet goes far beyond simple supervision — I give them home comfort and my full attention, just like I do for my own pets. I work from home, so I'm around throughout the day: your pet is never left alone for long, and I easily fit into their usual routine — meals, walks, playtime, and rest all stay on their normal schedule. I keep my days flexible so your pet's needs always come first. I can either visit your pet regularly in your own home, or welcome them into my home for constant, attentive supervision. If your pet stays with me, they'll be my only guest — no other animals competing for attention, so all of it goes to your companion. My home is in a secure, gated community with enclosed grounds — a calm, safe place where pets settle in easily. Whether in your home or mine, I keep things clean, quiet, and stress-free, and I always respect each pet's personal boundaries and pace.
