About: If you're looking for someone to watch your pets while you're away, then look no further. I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them
“My dog loves Morgan!”
About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.
“Rachel is wonderful! I could tell she really cared about Frank’s wellbeing and she has been super flexible with my crazy schedule. I will be using her again!”
“Madison was great to work with! She took awesome care of my dog and sent me daily recaps and photos of their walks and playtime. Flawless communication and I knew my dog was in good hands with her.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was in grade school. Whether it was my family's, friend's or random people on the street, I am always saying hi to animals! I am familiar and comfortable with all sizes, age, and all breeds of dogs. I have dog sat for a wide variety of dogs including: chihuahuas, wheaten terriers, labs, etc. I love going on walks outside and would love to add a dog by my side! I love playing, cuddling, and giving your dog a safe and fun environment. I currently work in healthcare and have early hours. I am usually off work around 2:30 on mon&tues, off around 3:30 on wed, and off around 12:30 pm on thurs-fri. My job is very flexible and my hours depend on surgery needs, so some week days I am off work completely. I am generally free on the weekends as well. I am very familiar with dog crates, leashes & collars. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them inside/outside, making sure they have fresh water & food, and of course giving them treats!
“Nick was excellent. We needed someone on short notice to take our energetic dog for long walks for 4 days while my husband recouped from a muscle sprain. Nick was responsive, on time each day, sent Rover Cards documenting the map and time of his walks. Great guy. Our dog took to him like a dog takes to a bone. Will definitely use Nick again.”
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.
“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!”
“Melanie is great with my two pups! Very thorough and sends great updates/photos to let me know they’re happy 😊”
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.
“Niara is wonderful and the pups just love her sooo much!!”
About: My family had beds on and off my whole life, but as an adult I have had one dog, Hermione, a 12 year old Shih Tzu, and two cats, Arya and Nymeria, who are both 2 years old. I am currently only working part time and I work from home so my availability is very flexible. I prefer mornings and early afternoons, but can help in evenings as needed! As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to give your babies structure and routine, so I default to your directions and will follow them to a T, because that is the kind of care I want for my precious babies!
“So glad I found Nora. She’s so sweet, and our dog is a good judge of character and loved her from the second she came to get her. You can tell she loves animals, especially dogs, and so glad we found her to walk our dog when we are unable.”
“Damica was so good and responsive! She sent plenty of pictures and videos I really appreciate that. She was patient and attentive to my shy fur baby. Will book again in the future!”
“Very happy with Fenner. She is reliable and very friendly and treated Pickles well. We will definitely use her services again when needed.”
About: I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own so I am looking to care for others’ furry family members. I will love, pamper and care for them as I would my own..... I am looking for long-term relationships, however I would be happy to fill in on a short-term, temporary basis as well. I have a fenced in yard and live close to many parks. If your pet needs one-on-one attention, I am willing to accommodate and only take in one family pet at a time. Your fur baby would get a lot of TLC and one-on-one attention. I have plenty of time in my life to care for and play with your furry family member. I have a fenced in yard. Live close to three nice parks-Carondelet, Jefferson Barracks, Lemay Park. Small dog park in the neighborhood. Lots of places to play nearby. I work part time outside the home. I will be gone for a maximum of five hour blocks when scheduled to work away from home. I have a fenced in yard. My home is very pet friendly. Many pet pillows and toys to choose from throughout the house. I am selective about treats I purchase for my guests. Puppers allowed to be on furniture if the owners are okay with that. I have Ring cameras to keep an eye on the fur babies when I’m away and love to share those videos with the family.

Robyn P.
“Robyn has watched my very active 5 year old Australian Shepherd several times and Robyn is most excellent. I live across the street from Robyn and my dog constantly runs to her door (when we are on walks and we go near her house) to see her. Robyn has made a very impressive impression on my dog. I also know that Robyn takes both pet exercise as well as mental stimulation very seriously. She exercised Chi several times a day including walking the park nearby as well as playing frisbee with her in her FENCED back yard. She also challenged Chi often with toy games in her house. I would absolutely recommend Robyn as a pet sitter for any dog owner!”
