House Sitting Richwoods

“Leigh was wonderful and took great care of Townsie. She sent lots of pictures and was so easy to communicate with. When our plans fell through and we had to return early, Leigh was so understanding and helpful. Would definitely have her watch Townsie again!”

About: I got my first dog when I was three and have always had 5+ animals in the house. I am good with any breed of dog. I have some puppy training experience and I can also work with disability animals. I just need to know if they have medication and the time to take them or other accommodations that they might need. I’m not sure if people have reptiles that need sitting but I’m good with those too. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies or any other animals. I have always had a soft spot for animals so I love spending time with them. I have a dog who gets taken potty every couple of hours and is fed every morning and every night. I also have a cat and two leopard geckos. My cat and dog are usually upstairs so I can keep the other animals downstairs if they’re not pet friendly. My geckos stay in my room.

“Caeley was great! She was early to our scheduled pet sitting time and was very respectful of our home. We would book her again!”

“Angelina did a great job with our fur baby. She came by prior to meet our dog to bond with her so our dog would be more comfortable. She was great at keeping constant communication and followed every detail of care for our dog. I would 110% recommend Angelina to anyone.”

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.

I will make sure they stay clean and safe and have plenty of playtime and that they trust me

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I’m a Big advocate on animal rescue. I have watched friends and families animals when they go out of town. I currently work part time as a server. I would like to transition into pet care full-time. after the new year. Making myself available to come to you is something I think is important so you and your pet feel more comfortable in your own surroundings. I would care for your pet in your home along with your pet routine. I know how important it is for your pet to stay on their routine. With you being gone it will help ease pet anxiety, if they have it.

About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! 20 years of pet sitting experience from family pets as a teen, having my own old boy in my 20s, to helping family and friends with their babies now! I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.

“Niki was great! She kept us updated on our two dogs every day with pictures included. And both dogs looked to be enjoying themselves the whole time. She even prepaired their evening meals I always give them. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Next time we have to head out of town we will definitely ask her to watch our two dogs again!”

About: I’m open to any animals! I grew up in Indiana taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, chickens, reptiles, and I find love for all creatures big and small. I work in healthcare and have a need to care for others so let me know how I can help you! I work from 3-11pm but have days off during the week and weekends. I’m flexible during the day and can work with weird schedules. Let me know how I can help. I’ve house sat many times for pets with special needs. I’m aware a common problem with dogs is separation anxiety, even just during work hours! Any special medical needs for your animals or play/exercise needs just send a message.

About: I have always had at least one animal in my home since I was born. My grandmother showed dogs and I would often help her get them trained and groomed. She was also an amazing professional dog groomer and I spent a large chunk of my time with her and learning from her. I like puppies but I have a love for older dogs. I have experience administering meds and injections. I work part time, on the weekends and I go to college full time. In the summer I work 5 days a week but based on your needs I can fit your furry friend into my schedule. I like to have a little list of things that you would think is important like the vet you want them to go to if your baby gets hurt, a feeding schedule, and anything that you may have concerns about while I stay at your house. I treat all of the animals I watch as they are my own babies and think it’s important to gain the trust of them while at your home, so they feel more comfortable.

I enjoy on nice days taking dogs to the dog park, walks on trails, or through my neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take them outside on a leash frequently. I have dog sat for friends and family numerous of times so thought I’d expand and help other people so they feel like their beloved animal is taken care of and in good hands while they are away! I have plenty of time to play with your pups and available pretty much 7 days a week! During the day someone is generally always home. I have a fenced in yard.

About: HIGHLIGHTS: -Insured -Comfortable w/ large and small dogs and knows the different requirements in care -No kids in home -Would love to bring my friendly chihuahua for in-home sits -Dog kennels provided for when necessary, no need to lug yours with you -38 year old home owner w/ privacy fence in back yard -Work from home sitter -Regular updates and pictures -Has read dog psychology and taken dog training classes with my dog. I believe pets deserve respect and autonomy and I'll do my best to treat your babies like I treat my own boys. I've read a few dog psychology books so I do have a good understanding of different communication styles that dogs may have and I have experience with reactive dogs and elderly dogs as well. When I walk your dog, I have no problems communicating with strangers and setting boundaries. I am very protective of my animal clients peace and safety. I always err on the side of caution. For sitting in your home, I do bring my 6lb chihuahua. If your dog needs to be separated from small animals, I can easily accommodate that in my home. With pets, I am gentle but firm and it creates an environment that dogs love. I love playing with dogs and engaging their minds. I also communicate with your pet to ensure they are happy (which room they prefer, how they like to be pet, how they like to be played with) and I tell them every day that you're coming back. I genuinely love each animal that I interact with and treat them how I'd want them to be treated if they were mine. I'm also punctual and communicative. My late dog was also reactive and could be aggressive, so I have experience dealing with large dogs that have strong boundaries. I work from home so I am available to stay with your pet all day long! When I do leave, it's usually never for more than 4 hours and I have a L crate and an XL crate that your babies can stay in if needed. For sitting in your home, I do bring my 6lb chihuahua. If your dog needs to be separated from small animals, I can easily accommodate that in my home. Please choose the service best suited to you and your pets needs. I have a large backyard with a privacy fence on all four sides. I have a 20 y/o cat and a xxs chi puppy but there is a pet gate that keeps the house in two parts. Your pet will not interact with my pets at all (unless otherwise discussed). Dogs have their own room and will be allowed free roam of one half of my home. It's a large space.

About: Hi, I'm Raina! I love caring for dogs and cats and have years of experience, including with my late dog Coco, who lived to 15. I offer pet sitting at my home with a secure, fenced-in backyard, ensuring a safe and fun environment. I take animal care seriously, providing consistent, loving, and responsible attention, including any needed medical care. You can trust that your pets will receive the same love and protection I gave to Coco, with plenty of photo updates to keep you connected. I look forward to caring for your furry family members! I am usually working from home so I will be available to care for your pets. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat to keep your pet company. I ensure top-notch care by carefully boarding pets that I believe will do well in my house. To provide the best experience, I would need to know your pet's daily routines, medication requirements, and any other special needs.

“Abby was amazing! She provided so many updates and pictures. She is by far the best pet sitter I have had. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants someone who cares for your animals like they are her own!”

Molly S.

About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals and am not afraid of anything. Being blessed with a companion is a gift from life itself. I have experience with medication management, boarding, leash training, etc. I am actively learning grooming. I work full-time at a Transitional Living Program for foster youth. I work Monday through Friday. I typically go in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6:45am and leave by 3:00pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually work from 8a-4p. I am able to leave my work to check on animals as long as they are within a reasonable distance. Weekends I’m pretty free. I have a fenced in back yard. I am able to take your pup to the park and walk. I have an SUV that is kennel friendly. Kenneling your pets in your car is a must and is the safest way of transportation. Personally my pets eat in the mornings. My pets are all kennel trained.

About: I have had and taken care of pets my entire life. Everything from dogs and cats and fish, all the way to ferrets! I now though, have 5 years (and counting) of professional experience in the dog world, 3 of those years also I including providing care to cats as well as birds, lizards, guinea pigs and more! I worked at a Daycare, Boarding and Training facility for dogs for those first 2 years, and it helped me grow my skills exponentially! It's also allowed me to really strengthen my understanding of dogs, their behavior, body language and how to help them be successful and happy in their day to day lives. My following 3 years was with an in-home pet care company where I provided more individualized care and expanded my skill set with medications, senior care and special needs. I saw and worked with the whole spectrum of ages, breeds and temperaments. I have experience with administering oral, topical, injectable and inhaler medications, basic grooming services and working through anxious behaviors. I also have a very special soft spot for the high energy breeds! I am very flexible, dedicated, caring and I understand the importance of communication. My weekday schedule is typically fairly open and flexible from early morning to late evening pending other services booked, weekends tend to be busier so the earlier notice the better! I treat every pet I meet as if they were my own, keeping their safety and well being the first priority! Your home is their safe space, so that means making sure it is always secure and comfortable.

“Billie did an amazing job with our babies, she was very great communication and sending pictures. I would definitely use her again. Thanks for you love care Billie”
