“Shannon was absolutely incredible!! My senior toy poodle loved staying with her and even made some new friends. She was great and sent updates with pictures every few days so I got to see how he was doing. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“Regal had the best time! I am beyond grateful to have found Amy and her family to care for him when we have to be away. Thank you so very much! You’ll see him again soon :)”
“Leah did a fantastic job all around. She was very warm and responsive when I first booked my appointment. Met Sam and I outside so he could get to know her. Let me in so I could see how he'd be staying and meet her dog. She answered all my questions and sent messages and photos during his stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)”
“Gabrielle was very nice with my pup. Easy drop off and pick up, I was missing a food bowl and he even provided one for my pup as well as a crate and sent me many videos and pictures of my girl until I was back in town. My plane ride was delayed and she even offered to hold my pup until I could get to her! Would definitely book with Gabrielle again!”
“Everyone in Kelly's family chipped in to make our little guy feel loved and at home. My wife worried that he won't want to come home. Will definitely board with Kelly again!”
“Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.”
“Mary was wonderful with our dog. She did all the right things and we picked up a very happy pet from her after the stay. We will definitely book again.”

“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Christina’s care of our dog, Fern! Just an overall great experience! Fern had so much fun she didn’t want to come home. We were gone for two weeks, so the pictures that were sent every day were very much appreciated. Christina and her husband have a fantastic approach and clearly a deep love of dogs. We will definitely be coming back.”
“We were able to enjoy our vacation and rest easy with Sapphire in Ebony’s hands. She gave frequent updates and sent some of the best pictures of our pup daily. We will use her again!”
“Alison was AMAZING!!! My dog is particular when it comes to staying with people. Alison made her feel right at home. She took care of my little one as if she were her own and I loved that. Alison sent daily updates sometimes multiple times a day just to ensure that I know my little one was in good hands! Hands down excellent experience.”
“Keri was so wonderful to welcome Mica into her home. Keri is flexible, accommodating and very responsive. The video, picture and updates I received showed Mica comfortable and happy. Thank you, Keri! If we’re back in the area, would love to have Mica stay with you again.”
About: I’ve owed and taken care of animals for decades. They are an indelible part of families and should be treated with an abundance of love. I am recently retired and have plenty of time to love and care for animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family. I have owned four dogs but they have all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a fenced yard. Your pet will be allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed (if they want to).
“I cannot recommend Ellie enough for anyone in need of a top-notch pet sitter! We were lucky enough to have Ellie watch our golden retriever while we were away on vacation, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Ellie, we could tell she had a special connection with animals. She was warm, friendly, and immediately put our dog at ease. Throughout our time away, Ellie provided regular updates and photos, giving us peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands and getting lots of attention! Ellie's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a pet sitter. We returned from our vacation to find our dog happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. We are so grateful to Ellie for providing such exceptional care, and we will definitely be booking her services again in the future! Thank you, Ellie, for being an amazing pet sitter and for giving us peace of mind while we were on vacation!!”
