Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Riverview

“Jill does such a great job with our zoo! 10 cats, all with different feeders, two that need isolated, and 1 that needs medication. It is such a relief that we can leave for a trip and know that our kitties are well looked after! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I have raised my own dogs and have helped friends, neighbors, and family with theirs for years. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether it is walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication while you are away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently fully available and have a very flexible schedule. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, overnights, and extended stays. Your dog will receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I am especially available for in home sitting, which allows pets to stay comfortable in their own environment. I have a secure, fenced patio (with designated turf potty areas, and one friendly, well socialized dog. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including crating if needed, feeding schedules, medication, and exercise preferences. While I can host in my home, I prefer sitting in your home so your dog can remain in a familiar, stress free setting. I am respectful of your space, attentive to detail, and focused on keeping your pet safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kyani. She took amazing care of our fur babies and it shows, they were always so excited to see her. She is a great communicator and sent us daily updates and pictures of our babies. She also took such great care of our home, even bringing packages in and ensuring our robovaccum doesn’t her stuck. I would absolutely hire her again and you should too!”

About: I genuinely, whole heartedly love animals. Have worked with animals (grooming, walking, feeding) since 15, work with young & senior also give meds & arthritis massages. Patient, kind, loving and ready to spread my love for animals. Have worked at Kennelwood, No Leash needed, Camp Bow Wow and volunteer at the humane society. All animals deserve love. I'm currently free any time as I'm in between jobs and make my own schedule so a lot of time to be with the doggos & cats. I'm available to house sit or pop in for walks at anytime and weekends after 9am. If you have toys or treats I will keep them entertained and work with whatever training goals you have for them. If a tail isn’t wagging it’s my goal to get it to!

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.

“Mae is the bomb! I think my animals really like them, and I definitely appreciate their support. They have been caring for my babies for going on 3 weeks, 4 days a week and it’s a godsend for my busy schedule. They are super bubbly and sweet, keep on top of communication, and follow instructions to a T. My neighbors see them all the time and always tell me how much they like Mae and how friendly they are. Plus, they take really good pictures. Highly recommend.”

About: Since I was a little girl, I’ve known I was meant to work with animals. It’s more than a passion—it’s my purpose. Pets have always brought me peace, joy, and fulfillment, whether they were mine or someone else’s. Over the years, I’ve raised everything from Great Danes to Pit-Husky mixes. I currently care for my special-needs English Mastiff, Kayser, and have supported senior and rescue dogs—each requiring patience, trust, and personalized care. Motivated by my commitment to animal well-being, I returned to school to pursue my dog training certification. I also hold certifications in animal welfare, pet CPR, and first aid. My approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and a strong belief in creating an informed, compassionate pet guardian community. My mission is to be a bridge between animals and their guardians—prioritizing not just obedience, but behavioral health, emotional enrichment, and the deeper bond that comes from truly understanding and nurturing the whole animal. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine, so I’ve learned to build my schedule around it. I’m usually up early to handle morning feedings, walks, and check-ins, which leaves me available mid-morning through early afternoon for appointments, training sessions, or visits. I also keep some flexibility in the evenings and weekends for clients who need extra support or who have specific routines for their pets. Because animals are part of my daily life, fitting in care—whether mine or someone else’s—comes naturally. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I’d want in my own. I stick closely to the routines the pet is familiar with—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime—because consistency helps them feel secure. I take my time to build trust with each animal, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I also pay close attention to their behavior and energy, so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. My goal is always to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while giving families peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands.

About: I can train dogs I’ve trained many in the past and even mine ! Potty train walking on the leash bad behavior with aggressive eating and trained them to be patient as well. I groom clip nails clear ears sometimes I even trim their hair down I’m well at what I do. I was asking God what is it I can do and all I think about is helping others with their animals if it’s Gods will for my life all will fall into place and if your dog needs training I am that person to help you we can make appointments and I can help you with your pet. Your pet will need to have all his or her vaccinations including flea and tick prevention to keep all the animals safe and mines. They have to be crate trained at least and I can do the rest if not I can work on crate training as well. But I will prefer them to be crate trained. Although i pray in Jesus name you pick me to take care of your pets. Cats aren’t allowed in my home my husband is allergic I can only do dogs God bless and Jesus loves you all !!! Every morning I wake to take my pets outside around 6am every morning, I let them play outside sometimes we go on walks depending on the conditions of the weather if it’s to hot then no if it’s to cold then no I try to go on days I know the weather will be okay enough to take walks but I have a big fenced in back yard so I have a lot of space in my back yard to let them all run around and be free. In my home I would do as I always do train feed take on walks when can and have a great time. Although if in a clients home I always follow their rules I use to do wag and I had a high rating I’ve actually helped people with their dogs when they were out on trips and or just at work and needed someone to take their dog outside and that’s what I did never had anyone complain. I am very trustworthy.

About: I work at Metro East Humane Society and have handled both puppies and adult dogs of all sizes. I love all types of dogs and love working with them especially the shy ones! I currently work part time so I am available most of the time when I’m not working. I also have two of my own dogs and make sure I’m up early! I have been walking all types of dogs for the past year at the humane society, even the leash pullers and reactive dogs deserve to have their time outside. I have also learned to properly medicate dogs so if medications need to be given I can handle that as well.

About: I’ve always said that my dream job would be walking dogs and also volunteering at a dog shelter. Welp, after a move I’m semi-retired with a flexible work from home business and need to keep busy. I love dogs and have two of my own. Jennifurkey is a 2 year old papillon we got from the pound. She was 3mo old and her former owner got arrested for DUI and she went to puppy jail (the pound) and was never claimed. She has never felt unwanted since! Her older brother Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw (chihuahua 11yo) is her parter in crime! They are inseparable. Over the years we have had a mix of dogs and are huge dog lovers. We have had everything from a 3mo old pound puppy to a diabetic rescue dog that was used as a breeder for 7 years with spinal problems that was kept in a kennel for those 7 years… and our last dog who made it to 17 years old with hearing, vision, and other ailments that required special food and medication. If you can’t tell, I am very experienced in a magnitude of dog care and will treat your dogs as if they were my own! I always have a bit of squee when I see cute puppies (all dogs are puppies lol) in public. I am somewhat retired. Recently moved to Granite City from California. I am regularly in Metro East and St. Louis. I don’t mind travel within 15 miles or so. I mostly work remotely from home and generally have a flexible schedule. I am available for one-offs if you’re busy or traveling or ongoing while you’re at work! We live out in the country off a gravel road, yet only 6 miles from downtown St. Louis! We are on half an acre with a fenced in yard. We currently have 2 small dogs. Jennifurkey is a 3yo papillon who is a ball of love and energy. She loves to play and run around in the yard. Me-Lo YoPupawitz, Attorney at Paw is a 11 year old chihuahua who is slow to trust but once he likes you or another dog, will be best friends. We regularly treat our yard with pet safe pesticides for flea, tick, and other unwanted critters. We actively grow lavender, lemongrass, and French marigolds as all-natural pest repellent. Also we walk the perimeter daily to ensure no pup is digging an escape tunnel lol In your home I will ensure that your babies routine remain as close to normal as possible. They can be kenneled at night or if house sitting they can sleep wherever they are used to. They are already stressed missing you, why make it any harder. As long as you have WiFi, I can work and take care of your babies. I am experienced in administering basic medicines and possibly insulin, depending on how used to or your baby is.

“Kartik regularly provides our k9's with first class care at a very reasonable cost. Not only is he professional and well trusted but he is also pleasant and enjoyable to communicate with. We have every intention of continuing our ongoing Rover relationship with Kartik for the foreseeable future.”

About: I love all breeds of dogs. I used to walk my neighbors doggies for fun when I was little. I've house sat for many friends with animals & plants for long periods of time. I've raised many puppies in my life time. I have two of my own that are now 2 and 5. They're everything to me. There's absolutely no better feeling than hearing the pitter patter of their feet on the floor as they're coming to attack me with love and kisses. I've never been without at least one dog in my household as long as I've been alive and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've also played sports my whole life so I love being active and playing games with the pups. I'm currently working part time so my availability is pretty open for the most part right now. I'm mainly unavailable after 4pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have two full sized crates at my home and a fenced in back patio with great sun for sunbathing. If I'm in your home, I'll respect your home as if it were mine & make sure the babies get soo much lot of love and attention. Picture/ video updates as often as you'd like. ❤️
