House Sitting Penrose

“William was amazing and attentive to all my pets! I was worried leaving my puppy for travel but she didn’t miss me because William was so amazing”

“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”

About: I have been taking care of sweet, precious pups since I was 7 years old when my mom surprised me and my brother with a basset hound puppy after school. Her name was Roxanne. A couple years later, we rescued a 6-year-old basset hound, Brandi, and a few years later, we rescued a 1-year-old beagle mix, Misty, and adopted a basset hound puppy, Willow, who had just been born on a farm near our house. We treasured our sweet babies, cooking for them every day - hard-boiled eggs for breakfast and meat and veggies for dinner. And they lived long, happy lives. Brandi, Misty, and Willow all made it to about 15 years old! I just moved from Colorado to start my PhD in Public Health at WashU, and I can't wait to pick back up with dog sitting again! In Colorado, I was the honorary dog sitter at my church. One couple even flew me out to California a few times to continue caring for their sweet pup after they moved! Between my own dogs and others' dogs, I've taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors who need lots of support. I am a PhD student at WashU Bursky School of Public Health. This semester, I have a class on the Danforth campus on Tuesdays from 9am to 12pm, Wednesdays from 12pm-1pm, and Thursdays from 1pm-4pm. My research is remote. So, I have lots of flexibility to make sure your pups get their potty breaks and play time and walk time, even on days that I have class. And house sitting would work super well :) I am offering house sitting, check-ins, and walks. If I am house sitting, I will always stay the night to make sure your pets are safe and well taken care of. I will keep the outer doors locked and make sure I am able to hear your pets if they need me. I am also happy to sleep in the same room with them if that is your preference. I will make sure to follow whatever schedule your pets need, e.g., eating, medicine, walking. As far as check-ins and walks, I will make sure to respect whatever rules you have for the house (e.g., shoes off, doors locked). I'm also happy to give your dogs a bath when they need it!

“Ayana is terrific! We had a kind of crazy last min need and she was fab. Our pup and our home were so well cared for. She even sent tons of pics to share with our kiddos who were very much missing their pup. 10/10!”

“Taylor is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She is reliable, caring and clean. We couldn’t ask for a more responsible person to love our little sweeties when we travel.”

“Grace was a great sitter. My dog Kane seems so happy and she left my apartment in great shape. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the STL area.”

Alessandro O.

“Liz was awesome. One of our dogs, who usually takes time to warm up to people, loved her from day 1. She took good care of our dogs and cat and spent a lot of quality time with them. Thank you so much Liz!”

Lucas K.

“Brittany took great care of the pups while I was out of town! She was super nice and responded to messages quickly, both before and during the pet sitting. She also left the house really clean and sent some great pictures of the dogs throughout the week!”

Savannah M.

“Ashley did an amazing job. Tons of photos and updates of our cat and puppy. She also cleaned our home(kitchen and floors) which was SUCH a treat to come home to after travel! She was amazing!”

Savannah S.

“This was our second time having KB housesit and she was once again amazing. She took amazing care of our dog and our house. Our pup got a few adventures, attentive care, and was happy and healthy when we got home. Our house was also spotless. She was communicative and followed all of our instructions to a t. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands.”

Claire R.

“Alec watched our three angels while we went our our honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to do so. He did a phenomenal job with them and provided many pictures and updates. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be using him again.”

Nikki B.

“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, helping them with training, as well as senior dogs, providing extra attention for their needs. I treat every dog as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their parents are away. I dedicate time each day to walks, feeding, play, and attention, ensuring dogs get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. On a weekly basis, I plan activities like longer walks, training, if needed! I care for pets in my client’s home, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Care varies based on the service and each pet’s individual needs, but typically includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication if required, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, keep the home tidy, and provide updates so clients feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I love playing with cats and dogs to make sure they get the attention they deserve i will do do anything extra to help the owner like take out trash ect. Almost everyday when I'm not busy i make sure i take my feed my cats ol L Play with them using their toys and give lots of pets I make sure they are fed well i take them for walks if something is wrong i will contact the owner and i make sure they are safe.

“Lisa always does such a great job with my pup. It’s amazing to be able to travel and know that my dog is being so well cared for and my dog loves spending time with Lisa!!”

Melette D.

“Wow Kellin was amazing. She came to meet everyone when we booked and then again a few days before our trip. She got our dog to take her medicine so well and kept us updated as our dog was having a bit of an arthritis flare. We also got a 24 hour + flight delay and Kellin was willing to last minute stay an extra night which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely use and recommend her again!”

Rhiannon M.

“Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with for a recent family vacation we took. We needed a home stay for our Bulldog and not only that, he was a lt the tail-end of recovering from a major surgery. Ashley went above and beyond with our Bulldog, the house was spotless when we returned. Ashley is also a wonderful communicator and responsive to all our needs. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her to all others. Thank you, Ashley!”

About: I have done checkins, dog sitting, and walks for my neighbors, families, and friends dogs. I have watched and worked with dogs of all sizes. I’ve spent afternoons caring for dogs. I’m adequate at cleaning up any messes dogs may make. I work as a freelancer. I am available at all different times of the day. Check in with me to see where I can fit your dog into my schedule! I’m very attentive to how dogs react to me. If they are on the timid side, I try to let them warm up to me. If they are on the playful more energetic side then I will be much more playful. I give the energy and attention to what the dog will need from me.

About: I have always had a dog and been the main caretaker. I love spending quality time with pets. I love to go on walks and take them to dog parks. I work full time but have ability to work remotely when needed. I am able to make lunch visits when needed or work from home. I have a fenced in backyard should your pet need to stay overnight. I would take dogs on walks in safe environments. Safety is very important.
