About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I have a summer job that starts on May 26th, and I have training from 9-4 on May 17th and 23rd. I'm unsure of which days I'll be working yet, so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.

“Sharon took wonderful care of our Batman. Ensuring he was eating and taking his meds. She provided feedback and was responsive. I feel comfortable with her staying in my home and at ease he will be ok. Thanks again”

About: I’ve never not had pets. My family has almost always had dogs, and I took care of a hamster and cat when I was younger. Today, my wife and I have two poodle-mix dogs (Togepi and Raisin) and two guinea pigs (Betty and Gertie). We got Togepi when he was just a couple months old. We got Raisin from the APA in 2024. I’ve helped my wife with her Rover sitting since since 2023—she’s a 5-star sitter with nearly 50 reviews. I’m a law student at WashU. This semester (starting January 12), I have classes from early Tuesday afternoon through Thursday evening. I’m generally free otherwise. I’m happy to care for your pet(s) however you’d like. If you want me to stay in your home while you’re away, I can do so on most Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

“This is the second time Asia has watched our dog for an extended period of time! She did a great job taking care of our dog and keeping an eye on our house! She’s on time and detailed in her communication! Thanks Asia!”

About: Profile Highlights 🐾 Lifelong animal lover (my first word was “dog”!) 🐾 Experienced with dogs and small animals (rats and other pocket pets) 🐾 Reliable morning, evening, and weekend availability 🐾 Comfortable with multi-pet households 🐾 Patient with shy, nervous, or senior pets Reliable dog walker and pet sitter who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. In fact, my first word was “dog”! I grew up in a household where caring for pets was part of everyday life. From a young age I was responsible for walking our dogs, feeding them, making sure they always had fresh water, and handling the less glamorous tasks like cleaning up after them. That early experience built habits of responsibility and attentiveness that I still carry into caring for animals today. I currently have two dogs and two pet rats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and care needs. Living with different types of pets has taught me how important routine, patience, and understanding are when it comes to keeping animals happy and comfortable. Every animal has their own personality and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and respected. I’m comfortable adapting to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and slow to warm up. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits that can include feeding, fresh water refills, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with basic tasks like cleaning up after pets or refreshing litter/bedding for small animals. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning visits, evening walks, and weekends, and because I live nearby I’m able to provide reliable and consistent visits. I’m naturally detail-oriented and dependable, and I always make sure pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions are followed carefully. I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send photo updates and quick check-ins after visits. Animals are truly one of the great joys in my life. I will treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their favorite person comes home. I currently work a flexible 9-5. I can reliably do walks in the mornings and evenings and potentially at lunch if it is nearby. I am free to spend the full weekend with your pups too! Every pet is unique! I will do my utmost to follow your care plans to the letter and treat your animal with compassion and care while keeping them safe!

“Em did an amazing job taking care of my Frenchie and kitty over the holidays. She looked after them for over 10 days in my home and sent consistent photos and status updates. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I left it, and she went above and beyond by washing the towels and bed linens she used. Most importantly my fur babies were happy and healthy and didn’t seem to miss me much 🥲”

Anna R.

“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!”

Shannon D.

“Emma is awesome! After some bad experiences with pet sitting it was so great to have her! She kept me updated everyday, was honest, trustworthy and cared for our dogs well. Definitely our go-to from now on!”

Caitlin M.

“Megan was able to help us in a pinch and we are extremely grateful. Could tell our dogs were happy and our house was in perfect shape when we got home. Would definitely work with Megan again”

Seth F.

“Laura was fantastic! She was very response and sent daily updates, which put our minds at ease. She left our home clean. I would definitely use Laura again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

Brittany F.

“Alex bonded with my dog Sunny as she started following him from room to room. I made me happy since she is a very shy dog that does not easily take to people. Alex did a great job with her and I will hire him again should I go out of town. He was very professional and kept me updated about how she was doing and sent pictures. As a side note he even found my lost TV remote. Thanks Alex”

About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!

“Rebekah was wonderful with our senior dog and took such great care of him while we were gone. She sent us regular updates and photos as well. We are so grateful she was here and it gave us peace of mind to know our dog was in good hands.”
