House Sitting Richwoods

About: I’ve had animals all my life! I worked at petsmart for over four years so I have experience in many different areas. I have a calming spirit that your pup will pick up on and feel at home with me! I’m a teacher, so the summer season is very open for me! I’m reliable and have a great schedule to take care of your furry family member. I want to keep your pup on their regular schedule, as this will make them most comfortable. Please share any specific instructions so I can keep your fur baby comfy and happy!

About: Since I can remember, I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, fish (fresh water and salt water), birds, reptiles, rodents, etc. I even have some experience with farm animals! I own a pug, 3 cats and a fish tank. I love all my animals deeply. I’m very picky about who I let care for my babies, I assume the same for you. I will go above and beyond to ensure your baby is happy, healthy and safe! Currently, I work evenings Mon-Thur as a private music teacher. Usually, I’m there from 3-7pm. Also, my fiancé is also home during the time I’m not. So, if you book a boarding with me, your animals will be in good hands as he also has plenty of experience with animals, if not, more! When you book a boarding with me, I’m confident in saying that your pet is 100% safe with me. My animals are trained and well behaved. I will make sure they are introduced properly and not just thrown together! I will be sure to follow your instructions and ask as many questions as I need to ensure quality care. If any emergency arises, you will be the first I call. I prefer if you leave another emergency contact, or permission to bring your pet to the vet in case of an emergency. When you book a sitting with me in your home. I will only touch the things you allow me to touch/put in the instructions. I’ll clean up any messes that are made. You can trust that I will respect you and your home. No one will come with me to your home unless you authorize it! I will always be sure that you and your pets feel comfortable with me. I love open communication, so if something feels off to you or if you’d like me to do something different, please let me know!

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.

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.

“Madison was an exceptional Caretaker for my elderly cat while I was on vacation. In addition to his basic care and needs, she gave him medication twice daily. She took the time to send daily updates and pictures, that assured me he was in great hands!! I could also see that he greatly enjoyed her company too! She went above and beyond, allowing me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was getting the best care and companionship. I will absolutely book again with Madison and I highly recommend her!!!”

I currently work part time as a server. I would like to transition into pet care full-time. after the new year.

About: I have experience in ALL animals even farm animals. I have loved animals from a very young age. Animals are my specialty. There is nothing I love more. I have full time availability to care for your pets! I work part time but pets are allowed at my work if necessary. My neighborhood is pet friendly and I have a fenced yard with puppy panels for small animals. Animal care makes me happy and i’m available for any of your needs. I have a fenced yard and a nice pet friendly neighborhood to go on walks. I can come to my clients home as well and take them for walks or feed and water them. I am available to do anything.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.

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.

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.
