He acted really well, and she sent me many updates about his day and progress at her home and he did amazing. He was more than ready for bed when we got home…lol I loved it. We will be booking again 100%”

About: As a High School Science Teacher and a dedicated father, I bring a level of care to pet sitting that is grounded in responsibility, observation, and routine. I understand that your pets are family, and they deserve a sitter who is as invested in their well-being as you are. I live in a quiet South City home (63111) featuring a fully fenced-in backyard. This offers your pups a secure, private environment where they can run, play, and explore safely—a rare find in many parts of the city! While I am currently a "cat dad" to my 8-year-old resident cat, I have been a lifelong dog owner. From my earliest childhood memories until earlier this year, dogs have always been a central part of my home and heart. This lifelong experience means I am deeply familiar with canine behavior, exercise needs, and the unique companionship they provide. I am an expert at managed, slow introductions to ensure that my senior cat and your pups coexist peacefully and safely. Daily Care: As a high school science teacher, I am currently on summer break and have transitioned into "full-time pet care" mode! My schedule is wide open from late May through mid-August, meaning I am home throughout the day to provide frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and plenty of companionship. Weekly Availability: I offer a rotating schedule for boarding. My calendar is always kept up-to-date, so you can easily see which days I am open for overnight stays or daycare only. Consistency: Because I am not balancing an office job during the summer, I can strictly adhere to whatever feeding, medication, or exercise schedule your pet requires. I pay close attention to details—from a dog’s body language and energy levels to their specific feeding and medication schedules. My goal is to create a predictable, low-stress environment where your pet feels like a member of the family. I have a fully (6 foot tall) fenced-in backyard where dogs can play safely. I always supervise yard time to ensure no "great escapes" or unwanted digging. I also always clean up after bathroom breaks in my yard. I use baby gates and separate "safe zones" to ensure my cat and your pups coexist peacefully. I worked for a vet clinic many years ago but still remember some emergency techniques. I can send daily photos and keep your vet's information at hand. It's also good for me to know more about your pet as in: Does your pet have any "triggers" (squirrels, mailmen, other dogs)? Are there any "off-limits" pieces of furniture or rooms? What is their favorite way to be comforted if they get homesick? Etc.

“We left our 6-month old puppy, Gracie, with Jennifer for the day. She sent us 3 videos during the 8 hours, reassuring us that Gracie is happy and playing with the other dogs. Jennifer asked questions when we dropped Gracie off, that made us feel comfortable that she cares and she is knowledgeable about dogs.. We will definitely be using her service again.”

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”

Hailey M.

“Jessica watched our Shih Tzu all day while we went to Our son’s law school graduation. It was first time leaving her with sitter all day. Jessica sent lots of pictures and text updates with really eased my mind a lot!! I would definitely book her again when I return to St Louis !”

“If you are a super picky dog parent like me, you will not trust your babies to just anyone looking to make a few extra bucks while you're away. Wendy's home is dog friendly with plenty of fresh clean water, comfortable furniture, baby gates to prevent door-dashing, and a well maintained HUGE secure fenced back yard with plenty of room for your dogs to run and explore! She is a wonderful pet parent, and her personal dogs are very well socialized, loved and cared for. 5 stars from this dog mom!”

About: Hello! My name is Lulu, and I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized pet care for dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience working in a professional dog daycare and boarding environment, along with personal experience raising and training my own German Shepherd. My approach to pet care focuses on structure, safety, enrichment, and individualized attention. I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and temperaments, which is why I prioritize a calm and supervised environment rather than overcrowded group settings that may cause stress or overstimulation. During their stay, your pet will receive: • Daily walks and physical exercise • Individualized playtime and enrichment activities • Constant access to fresh, clean water • Close supervision and attentive care • Basic obedience reinforcement when appropriate • Supervised outdoor time in a fenced yard • Regular updates regarding behavior, meals, and overall well-being I carefully monitor each pet’s eating habits, comfort level, and behavior, especially during transitions away from home. If any concerns arise, owners will always be informed promptly and kept updated throughout their pet’s stay. I also incorporate mental enrichment into daily routines through activities such as lick mats, frozen KONGs, sniff games, and interactive play to help reduce stress, prevent boredom, and support overall well-being. I do some basic obedience training, i am not a professional neither will i charge you but i know enough to do basic obedience training and I also understand that every dog is different. Some dogs thrive with positive reinforcement, while others — especially high-energy working breeds — may need more structure and balanced guidance. My goal is always to work with your dog in a way that builds confidence, trust, and good behavior while keeping them happy and comfortable. For overnight care, pets will sleep safely and comfortably in their kennel unless otherwise requested by the owner. If a dog is unfamiliar with or anxious about kennel use, I use gradual positive reinforcement methods to help them build confidence and feel secure. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where pets receive the same level of care, patience, and attention they would receive at home. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet, and I am committed to treating every animal with professionalism, compassion, and respect. I graduated high school so I am free almost all the time to take care of your pets! I love pet care and I love working with dogs and cats! I believe in top care for my own pets, so for a clients pet I would do the same. I have a fenced yard, and I live close to a trustworthy park. I love walks, and I love doing dog walks. They are allowed on furniture, and they will get fed according to what the owner will tell me, they will have access to fresh water daily, daily dog walks, and 1 hour personal play time, and time for enrichment.

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, pigs, sheep, and cows, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog named Sharon, whom I originally fostered along with her five puppies for eight weeks - an experience that gave me plenty of hands on experience caring for puppies and dogs with different needs and personalities. Many of my closest friendships were built around our shared love of dogs, and we’ve regularly helped care for each other’s pets over the years. I’ve hosted dogs in my own home, as well as stayed in clients’ homes to care for elderly dogs who needed extra attention, patience, and comfort. I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Currently working from home so I will be a constant presence throughout the day. This also allows me to take your dog for as many walks as needed or any other specific services required. I have one dog who is usually a couch potato and sleeps all day. She is very dog friendly in all aspects. I have a fenced in backyard and a doggy door so they have full access. Toys and treats are available (if allowed)! Happy to follow any and all instructions.

“Sarah is a great sitter! We initially booked her for boarding and added on day care so our puppy had a chance to get to know Sarah and her son before our trip. She is very flexible and communicative. We have our boarding scheduled soon and will continue to use Sarah in the future!”

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been the go-to pet caretaker for family members since I was nine. Whether it was for relatives traveling out of town or my own beloved dogs, I’ve handled a variety of breeds and temperaments with the utmost care and dedication. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in experienced, loving hands. My daily routine revolves around my pup. Each morning starts with a walk before I head to school for a few hours. When I get back, we enjoy some quality time, and I make sure my dog is fed and happy. Even when I work the night shift, I have a trusted friend who comes by to take care of my dog. At night, my dog is right by my side, sleeping in the bed with me until the next morning. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog in my care. Whether your dog prefers to be in or out of the crate, I ensure they are comfortable and secure. You can trust that I maintain a vigilant and caring watch over all the dogs I look after.

“Ashlie and Phillip were great with my pup! Excellent communication both before and during our stay. Their home is a perfect environment for any dog who loves getting lots of attention and outdoor play.”
