“I can tell she cares for my dog the way I do when I’m not around! I am so thankful to have found someone that I can fully trust with my pup and with my home. When I leave my house I tell my dog “Virginia is going to come” and he gets so excited and looks out the window to wait for her. She deserves the best review, but I don’t want to share her! She truly is the best and we appreciate her so much!”


“Will is amazing with our dog. Ravioli loves him and Will shares great pictures and updates.”


“First time using Rover and Caroline was amazing!!! She was very attentive and sent me so many pictures.”


“Tammy has done a wonderful job taking my dog for daily walks this week. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgable and comfortable with pet care, and reliable. I look forward to her continued help with dog walking.”


About: If you're looking for someone to watch your pets while you're away, then look no further. I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Reliable and so glad to have found her”


“Devon has been walking my dog for a few months & has always been super reliable & responsive - even in bad weather! Also goes above & beyond while dog sitting.”


“Lara is great - she handles my large dog with ease - he can be leash reactive and that requires expertise. And she is consistent and timely and reliable. What else could you ask for?”


“Glad we met Julie. She did a great job with our dog and sent pictures to update us after their walk was done. Very friendly and accommodating!”


About: I've had/taken care of dogs my whole life. My husband and I love dogs and have a big yard for them to run around in. We often dogsit for family and friends when they are out of town. We lost our fur baby a couple months ago due to old age and frankly we miss him and the energy he brought to our house. Your furbaby (or babies) would have a whole house to themselves and would have the full attention of a loving couple. We live in a great neighborhood for walks and have several parks nearby. Both my husband and I work full time jobs out of the house, but are never gone more than 8 hours at a time. Our routine with our recent furbaby would be walks and breakfast in the morning before work (around 8ish), a walk/play outside after work (around 4ish) and then a bathroom break outside before bed. On weekends we have more time to spend with your dog(s) We understand that every dog is special and has special needs! We are open to all care routines and any oddities your dog may have (we used to have to hide our trash can from our dog before leaving the house 😅). As long as you provide instructions, we feel confident managing any schedules, medical care, oddities, or routines. Your fur baby will be in a loving household that just misses having dogs around all the time.

“Madison was great to work with! She took awesome care of my dog and sent me daily recaps and photos of their walks and playtime. Flawless communication and I knew my dog was in good hands with her.”


About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.

“Mackenzi was wonderful and took my pup on a nice long walk while I was away. I appreciated her quick responses and care of both Josie and my kitty! Would definitely recommend Mackenzi to care for your pets.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was in grade school. Whether it was my family's, friend's or random people on the street, I am always saying hi to animals! I am familiar and comfortable with all sizes, age, and all breeds of dogs. I have dog sat for a wide variety of dogs including: chihuahuas, wheaten terriers, labs, etc. I love going on walks outside and would love to add a dog by my side! I love playing, cuddling, and giving your dog a safe and fun environment. I currently work in healthcare and have early hours. I am usually off work around 2:30 on mon&tues, off around 3:30 on wed, and off around 12:30 pm on thurs-fri. My job is very flexible and my hours depend on surgery needs, so some week days I am off work completely. I am generally free on the weekends as well. I am very familiar with dog crates, leashes & collars. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them inside/outside, making sure they have fresh water & food, and of course giving them treats!

“Thanks Hannah for being so punctual and consistent walking Bella! We will definitely reach out to you in the future ??”


“Sophia went above and beyond helping out with my dog today. My dog got a little sick on top of rolling in mud and Sophia went ahead and cleaned up all of this mess. She’s been a huge help with my dog Charlie!”


“She was amazing and professional. She played with my dog and gave him alot of affection. She sent me photos and kept me updated. I will definitely book her again.”


About: I recently graduated with my doctorate in veterinary medicine, and I have a great passion for animals. I have worked in boarding facilities for years, I have done dog walking, cat sitting, exotic watching (bearded dragon). I can give medications if needed. I can do the basic training for puppies and kittens. I have deep knowledge on senior care such as chronic pain management. I can recognize signs of illness or injuries and act immediately to contact the owners information them and do first aid (should it be required). I am currently not working as I am watching to start my internship, but that will not begin until October. I am looking for work before I start working at a clinic. I am very observant of any pets in my care, if the dog is being let out in the backyard they will not be outside alone. Walks will be done with whatever the perfered holder (collar, gentle lead, harness), and I have experience walking dogs with high energy that are strong. When working with cats, if the cat is more timid then I will ensure that they feel safe in my presence, and I will be extremely aware when opening doors that they do not escape. I will do routine checks of the normal area to ensure they have not gotten themselves stuck, and that they are safe and well.

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!

“Alex has walked our dog a couple of times. He is always right on time and takes good care of our dog on the walks. He sends updates and photos. Definitely recommend him to anyone needing walks!”
