“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“10/10 would recommend! I traveled from out of state on short notice, and she was happy to help. Large fenced in back yard for outside play time. Sent pictures of their adventures (walks). Is easy to communicate with. We will hopefully stay again soon.”
“Madison & Eric were terrific! Accepted an emergency last minute booking for our Border Collie Bella before a family vacation. Bella was taken care of and received lots of pets and rubs, and was very photogenic for the pictures and videos Madison sent to keep us updated! Wonderful pet owners and sitters, would recommend!”
“Christy was fantastic! She has great dog energy and was very communicative. I loved having updates, pictures and videos, so I always knew my dog was safe and happy. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future ☺️”
“Merium was great for our two dogs! One of our dogs had just had a tooth extraction and needed a little extra care while she recovered. Merium was on top of it and made sure she was as comfortable as possible.”
“Viki was amazing watching our puppy Banner. She introduced us to her sweet dog Max and made sure Banner got along with the other dogs staying with her and her husband before we left. We definitely will be using her services again. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: The doggy door is the best thing about my place — your dog decides when to be outside, into a fully fenced yard. My young goldendoodle will happily play all day. Nights are crated unless your dog does better otherwise; I'll match whatever they're used to. I work full-time, mostly in the office. But my kitchen has a doggy door leading to a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can come and go as they please all day. I also have a 1.5-year-old doodle who gets along well with other dogs and is happy to play or nap, depending on the mood. Evenings and weekends, we walk the neighborhood, play fetch in the backyard, or head to a park or dog café for some socializing. Treats and cuddles to end the day. A fenced yard and a built-in doodle playmate to keep your fur baby company. I crate at night- let me know if your dog isn't used to that. I feed twice a day and give treats throughout, or whatever schedule you'd like, just tell me what your dog is used to.
About: I love them all. I love when they are new to life and excited. I love them when they've lived a lot of life and are slowing down. It was a privilege to clean up all the messes before my 17yr old best fur friends left me. Health issues from old age doesn't bother me. Neither does a little pee or poop from potty training. I have patience. I volunteered for the St Charles Humane Society in the 90s and again 2012-2015 for the San Diego Humane Society's mobile adoption unit. I work mostly weekends and typically evenings if I pick up shifts during the week. My weekday mornings and afternoons have a lot of flexibility. I would love to schedule consistent walks and feedings throughout the week, but have the freedom and flexibility to provide additional care for temporary needs. I want my clients to know they have someone they can count on last minute to fill a need they hadn't foreseen, but I'm also open to establishing a longer relationship and am in a position where I can commit to routine assistance. If I'm cat sitting for you, you can have peace of mind knowing I'm going to talk their ears off and take every scratch in allowed to give. I'm not just feeding and scooping, I'm giving love and attention. I'm open to boarding cats and small dogs. My backyard isn't completely fenced, but I a bonus side yard that is fenced in. I'm sandwiched between Tower Grove Park and Crondelette. There's food parks and neighborhoods to stroll nearby. I can provide overnight stays in your residence if your dog is medium or large, you have multiple critters and want them to get spoiled with love, or if it just makes sense and makes you feel better to have a 2 for 1 pet sitter and eyes on your property. I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need.
“Sarah took great care of our boy Beau. She was available for us with short notice and was flexible with our unpredictable schedule. My pup was absolutely exhausted from a full day of running around and playing”
“They were great with my dogs and my dogs can be a LOT. They provided me with daily updates. This was my first time using this service and I would definitely use them again.”
“Melissa and her family were great hosts! Coordinating the booking was a breeze. She was very nice and attentive to my pup, Tammy who was so tired from all the playing with their dog Molly during her stay. When I picked her up she was in great spirits and couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day. Melissa sent me pics of Tammy's frequently and that also gave me piece of mind that she was being well cared for. Tammy really enjoyed her time spent with them. I will book again and highly recommend to anyone.”
“Greg and family took care of Raven for 10 days while we were visiting our son's family in North Carolina. Everything went very well it seems and we are so pleased with the care and compassion that Greg and team put into their care for Raven. We received a picture each day which helped ease our sense of missing her. This is just the perfect place for her. We've already scheduled two more doggie day care sessions and truly appreciate working with them. Can't praise them enough as Raven is not the easiest dog to take care of.”
“Carly, Doug and their family did a fantastic job watching our active yellow lab Auggie for ten days while we were on a family vacation. They provided regular updates and photos of Auggie, which allowed us to know that he was in good hands. I highly recommend contacting Carly and Doug, if you need a sitter for your furry friend”
“Kellin took great care of our pup! She gave plenty of updates and made sure our dog got plenty of activity during his stay. I would definitely recommend her to others!”

If we could leave 11 stars, we would! Darius was amazing with Darcy. Walks, snuggles, chill time, treats, and squirrel chasing…she loved every minute and we were so comforted knowing she was in Darius’s care. He has made a four-legged and 2 two-legged friends for life :). Delighted and grateful…we will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Darius!!
Harley was awesome with my Polly Pocket! I knew my recently adopted foster-fail dog would be great in Harley's hands while I traveled out of state for 5 days. Harley kept Polly busy with treat puzzles, training games, walks, and chasing bunnies in the backyard. I loved the pictures they sent and the thorough and honest updates about how Ms. Pocket was doing. And the cherry on top: I could immediately see some of the training Harley implemented with Polly, which was very appreciated as we settled back in to the daily grind back in St. Louis after the trip. Would absolutely book again with Harley in a heartbeat!
We had a fantastic experience with Mandy. Chuck Norris is a senior guy who mostly just wants to cuddle, and Mandy gave him all the love and attention he needed. We received regular photos and felt total peace of mind knowing our boy was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking again!!! Thank you
Danielle did a great job taking care of our dog. At the meet and greet Danielle asked great questions and helped us immediately feel as ease. Danielle provided frequent updates and was very responsive. She kept my dog busy and I could tell my dog was enjoying her stay. I would highly recommend Danielle to others looking for a sitter.
Sarah did a great job taking care of my Lily over a long 4-day weekend. She provided lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates and photos while I was away. My dog came home happy, and calm, which is an excellent sign of good care. I would definitely recommend Sarah if you want your dog spoiled! And who doesn't want that?!!
This is our second time using Julia to watch our Pancake. I love the daily updates and pictures. But most of all, our dog is comfortable there. She usually takes a little to warm up to people but she has taken a liking to Julia. I will always pick Julia as my first option for a dog sitter!
Nicole & Tim did a 10/10 job taking care of Lemon for us. I received multiple updates every day and TONS of photos. I was never worried about Lemon in their care and was able to fully relax on my trip. We couldn’t be happier with how they took care of Lemon and will absolutely be using them again. They are wonderful!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
