“Jennifer and co were absolutely fantastic! I had a last minute request because my cat injured himself and needed extra care. Jennifer stayed with him, gave meds, and updated me with any changes. My other cat was also well loved and taken care of! I received many video and photo updates every night and I knew my babies were in good hands!!! I will definitely book again!”

“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”

“10/10 would recommend! Rachel did amazing with our two dogs this week. From the initial meeting until we walked back in the door from vacation, I felt at ease and confident that my pups were in the best hands. We got check-ins and photos every day and even our anxious little crusty white dog made strides to becoming more confident with Rachel’s patient and gentle presence. This is our first time hiring a pet sitter and Rachel will 100% be our go to from here on out. It was such a weight lifted off our shoulders to know they were being loved on and very well taken care of so we could truly relax and enjoy our time away.”


“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”

“Jen house sat and watched our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our cats and kept in touch with photos and updates, which gave us confidence while we were far away from home. We will rebook Jen again and recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for.”

“Alex is such a professional! He’s always on time, has great communication skills and took such wonderful care of our schnauzer while we were away for the weekend. She just took to him so quickly and made a friend for life. He sent us pictures throughout the trip and helped me feel at ease. We recommend Alex for your pet care! He’s terrific!”


“We were very upfront with Marsha that our rescue dog can be slightly aggressive and does not like strangers—we had almost given up on finding a sitter. Although Marsha never rushed the process, always listened to our concerns, and used techniques that helped our pup build trust slowly. She’s a great communicator with lots of messages, pictures and video. It was so nice to be away and not feel concerned. She’s a great sitter for anxious pups!”

“Allison was fantastic! Our two cats were so loved and she took the most professional photos of them to send to us. Our house was immaculate as well. Allison also went above and beyond to help us prepare for a snowstorm that would start as we returned. Would book her again and again.”

“Cara was amazing with our 2 jack russel terriers while we were on vacation for a week. She sent pictures and videos daily which we adored. Our younger, newer dog warmed up to her quickly. She played ball with pur older dog. Good communication, reliable and helped us relax by not having to worry about the dogs while on vacation since we knew they were with someone who cared. Definitely will be requesting Cara in the future. Thank you Cara!”


About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.
“Chloe took wonderful care of my Frenchie and cat! Her communication was great, she left my house in impeccable shape and my babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Would definitely book her again!”

About: As a graduate student in social work, patience, communication, and building trust are values I practice every day. I bring that same calm, dependable approach to pet care by respecting each pet’s routine, paying attention to the little details, and making sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind. I am currently completing my graduate practicum during weekday mornings, which gives me flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet care. I prioritize keeping a reliable schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets thrive when they’re able to stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide care that’s consistent, calm, and tailored to their individual needs. Whether that means following a feeding schedule, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications (if needed and instructed), going for walks, or spending quality time playing and keeping them company, I am happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable.
“Katie did a wonderful job dog sitting for us. She kept us informed of how the dogs where doing and what they were up to. The dogs looked healthy and happy when we returned home. We would definitely book Katie again.”

“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

“Very communicative! Let me know when there was a problem with one of my girls! Sent cute pictures daily. I felt very comfortable leaving for a long holiday weekend with Mary taking care of my babies!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Paige took care of my pup exactly the way you would want someone to. She’s sincere and genuine. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks for being awesome, Paige!”

Kaity was attentive and was so good to my dog, Reza. She came over multiple times throughout the day, spending a good amount of time with Reza each time. She sent pictures of him, and sent updates! She really did go above and beyond for him. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking with her in the future!

Cara took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was communicative, sending regular updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was well cared for and in great hands. I had such a positive experience that I’m already booking with her again. I recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Vada was absolutely amazing with our two pups, one of which is a pretty anxious and energetic little guy. She sent pictures every day, played fetch, even brought our mail and left our house looking the exact same as when we left. So sweet and so good to our babies!
Niara is wonderful! We have hired her several times to care for our 2 pups and we always feel very confident that they are having a great time. She is very responsive, on time and great at sending updates and cute pictures! Already feel so relieved that she has agreed to help us for our summer vacation!

We were away for six days - our longest time away from Poppy so far. But we felt very comfortable with Gabrielle who had taken care of Poppy on a previous trip and who has been a regular walker. As has been my experience over the last few months with Gabrielle, she took amazing care of Poppy and was very professional and responsible overall.
