Pet Sitting Patch

“Hayle was able to cover all of our days needed twice a day at a short notice. She sent pictures of our cats to us while we were away and our skittish one seems to be becoming more comfortable with her which is not an easy feat! Thanks Hayle!”

“Bethany is great! Donut (the pup) loves her. She sends pics and updates of their time together.”

“Kaity did a great job taking care of Murphy and letting me know how it went each day. When she came by to meet him before my booking dates, he was friendly to her almost instantly, which very seldom happens here. He's usually shy and hides out when strangers are in the house, but he did come out and meet her and say hello. I felt very comfortable with her, especially knowing she has a beautiful cat of her own.”

“Allison was wonderful with our two cats! Our request was a big time commitment on short notice and she enthusiastically delivered, arriving on time twice a day all week to provide care and enrichment. The kitties obviously had a great time with Allison and were perky and at ease when we returned home from vacation. :) We will be sure to rebook when we go out of town next. Thank you again!”

“Mallory did great with my dog. Showed up on time and helped out with feeding my fish (thanks again for that)!”

Matthew S.

“Samantha was very communicative about what my boys were up to while I was away. She also was able to fit me into her schedule on a late notice. This was the first time I left my cats at home and didn't have my mom watch them with an asthmatic cat and I was not worried at all. She's the best!”

“Our cats were in great hands while we were on holiday. We loved getting daily photos and updates. They warmed up quick to Abby, we'd happily book again!”

About: I am a full-time caregiver and household manager to 2 children and my partner. We are fur baby free now but love our snails and fish more than we anticipated! I grew up with dogs and loved our girl for 12 years, through 2 ACL surgeries and into advanced age. I know the love of a dog and how precious these family members are. I’d love to help your family with drop-ins or walks. I can do regular appointments or as-needed! Most of my availability is during the day while my kids are at school. Evenings and weekends can be arranged with enough notice so I can arrange for childcare. My extended family is in the area so I am around for major holidays. I am available to: let pets out for potty breaks; take walks; refill food and water; administer medication; clean small messes; or just give some love and affection. I can customize my visits to what your family needs.

“Our two pups love when Lexi comes to visit and we know we can trust her with great updates and always being on time and excellent communication.”

About: I've been hanging out with animals all my life; taking care of others' animal babies for close to a decade. No mess is too gnarly; I've popped pills and dispensed hairball meds. Love a long neighborhood walk or a long snuggle. Let me help take care of your fur babies! I do not have pets of my own; I much prefer being the fun pet aunt! I have siblings and close friends with dogs and cats, who I've spent a lot of time with and pet sit often. I'm flexible! Not having my own pets also means I have plenty of time and energy to spend with yours. I work full time M-F, but most weeks I work from home 3 days a week, and that can be your home with your fur baby. Whether I'm popping in for a walk or a potty break or spending several nights with your fur baby, they will be my priority. I love a long neighborhood walk, snuggles, and will take the time to play. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routine, and I will be sure to keep things consistent. I'll work with you to be sure I understand your pupper or kitten's daily and weekly routine--feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any other necessities.

“Katie was amazing. My kitkats felt comfortable enough to come out and interact with her, including the newest and shyest kitties. She also helped keep their days enriched by reorganizing their toys and changing their cat tv. Thank you Katie!”

About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!

“Alexis was super helpful in letting my buddy Sal out. Communication was great, and would recommend.”

Nicholas V.

“Phoebe was great per usual! I needed pretty last minute drop-ins due to a funeral service and I was so glad she was available. She's so good with Cain and also a great communicator. Highly recommend!”

“Rebecca was on time and gave Vinnie all of her attention as well as a walk in the neighborhood. Vinnie was well taken care of with this drop in service!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. Recently I have started dog sitting for family friends and decided to join on here to offer my services. I’m currently working full time from 7am-3:30pm in office 5 days a week M-F. Within my work hours, I’m not available to do visits. Outside of these hours, any dog I care for will have my undivided time and attention. I take care of the pet I’m watching over by taking them on walks, play with them, and making sure they are well fed. I like to make sure they are well accounted for and treat them as my own.

About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!

“Laura was fantastic. She took extra precaution with feeding and safety. She communicated well and send lots of cute pictures. She also played with the kitties and they enjoyed her very much.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little, however I just got into taking care of them professionally a year ago. I have provided medication, walks, potty breaks, play time, etc. I am currently looking for a long term job, and I am saving for a car so my availability depends on my mothers schedule. I am typically available after 2pm. I make sure to go over house rules and pet care rules with the client and make a plan going forward. I will provide services including but not limited to: dog walking, feeding, play time, potty breaks, etc.

“Super responsive and attentive! Highly recommended”
