Pet Sitting in Saint Elizabeth

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

“the best! bree even made sure my Waylon’s show was going for him before she left! :)”

About: I have taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with multiple dogs in the house (and some cats) and have always been obsessed with animals! I’ve even fostered the last couple years and gotten to know a plethora of breeds and temperaments! I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to prioritize your pet! I would include them in everything I do and always inform you of our every move. I have a back yard and a car if transportation of your pet is needed. I have multiple rooms where your furry friend can choose to be on a couch with company or in his crate by himself.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the way I care for your pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies just learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, adjusting routines for older pets, and helping with basic puppy training like crate time and leash walking. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet company, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—living in the country with my family, animals are truly at the heart of our routine. We have a spacious, fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own crew includes a friendly dog, three playful cats, a curious bunny, and some happy chickens—so we’re used to all kinds of personalities and care needs. My two children absolutely love giving gentle “lovins” and playtime to our furry (and feathered) guests, and they’re always excited to welcome new animal friends into the mix. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds or helping a puppy burn off energy, we approach every day with patience, kindness, and genuine joy for what we do. Caring for animals fits right into our family rhythm—it’s not just part of our schedule, it’s part of who we are. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We live in the country with plenty of fresh air, room to roam, and a fully fenced outdoor space where dogs can play safely and freely. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and are never left feeling isolated—whether it’s curling up on the couch or enjoying quiet time away from the action if they prefer. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medication, and cuddle time are all handled with care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals! That ranging from, cows, horses, goats, many dogs, cats, bird and guinea pigs! I love all animals and treat them like my own. I currently work a full-time job. I will be able to provide enough time for your animals and give them the love and attention they require. I live on a 20 acre farm that has plenty of room to run and play! I also have two dogs myself that love all the attention I'm able to give them.

“Heather did an awesome job with my cats! They are much happier at home and I'm so grateful to have someone trustworthy to stop by and make sure they're all good. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have been and always will be a very caring and loving person to animals. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 3 chickens, and 6 goats at home and care for them everyday. I work around dogs all day so have experience giving medications and loving on them, as well as noticing signs of possible sickness. I am currently working part time as a dog groomer but have a lot of time around work to help care for your pets! I'm also available during the weekend. I currently have 3 dogs at my house that use a fenced in yard and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.

About: Lifelong animal fan and pet owner! As the daughter of a veterinarian I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, including providing medical care and administering medications. I currently work remotely from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins and walks! My own small pup Griffin will remain at home while I visit. Safe, reliable, and dependable. Will happily care for your pet in your home and follow instructions set out to make them most comfortable and accommodated!

“She took good care of our dog while away. She did everything we asked and made sure our dog got lots of play time before leaving. She was also very easy to communicate with.”

About: I have had experience with dogs my entire life! From having dogs up until my early 20s to dog sitting and house sitting for any of my family whenever they needed someone! I can bathe, walk, rumble and tumble, play, keep up on whatever you are possibly training them on, and even give medication! I can take care of all dogs shapes and sizes! So let's talk about give your pet the best care they deserve! I currently have open availability but am looking for a full time job! That just means I have more time to dedicate myself to your pet and whatever needs they have! I currently can not board any animals at my place because I'm renting and also do not want to stress my cats out. When I have taken care of other pets/houses I always make sure leashes and harnesses are secure, I always avoid dog parks because you never know what kind of situation might happen between other animals and my top priority is your pets safety, and while on walks if I see another dog I always make sure to give them plenty of space by either crossing the road or stopping and letting the others pass. If your pet is showing any signs of discomfort or possibly got into something they shouldn't have I will notify you immediately and we can determine the best outcome from there!

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, daily eye drops, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).

About: I love all animals and can’t wait to hear about or meet your furry family member . Allow me to look after your beloved pets, plants, home and many other things. If you need to be out of town or just need a little extra help with a high energy pet. Check my schedule and see if my services align with what you’re looking for. I have a few furry felines and dogs that I already help take care of.. I have cared for small to medium size dogs in the past and grew up with a house full of pets. Including but not limited to dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, foul/birds, and minimal farm animals. However, every fur buddy or man’s best friend is unique. Let’s communicate on the needs or preferences for your special furry family member and see if I can accommodate. I appreciate your careful consideration. I can be flexible on scheduling and accommodations. Such as pick up/drop off, boarding, full day care, in home care, walks, vet visits and much more. Please be considerate of my time and cancellations and I will do the same respect. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any thing more wonderfully rewarding than to help you care for your furry loved ones. I currently am only caring for a few furry felines and small/medium dogs for close family. I’m looking to expand and see the rest of MidMo and its pet lovers community. Thank you for all your consideration and shares! Fenced in yard. Single room with twin bed for single or multi pets of same family Pet owner provides: Food Medications Optional items: Blankets Toys Treats Care and exercise needs can be discussed and evaluated further upon request. Each pet is different in what care they need. There are many energy levels and temperaments to keep aware of.

“Absolutely amazing to help me out last minute with my furry kiddos. They’re older girls and they have accidents and Kenzie was so nice to clean up after them if they weren’t able to hold it. Thank you so much again for you help and for being so kind.”

About: I love animals of all sizes, I am a certified dog groomer and have had past experience working in a vet care facility taking care of animals for 5 years. I am familiar with all ages from puppy's to elders and special needs cats and dogs are welcomed. I am also able to give your pet medications if they have any. No dog would go unloved and would be given all the attention he/she could want. Animal care is my top priority and your loved ones will always be safe with me. I have experience with every breed and any temperament. I'm trying to make pet care my full time job, so I have an open schedule 7 days a week to accommodate your pets needs. Care would take place in the client's home, lots of play time and following owners instructions for what they would like if they have any.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! I grew up on a farm & then during college I worked for a dog training facility & cared for many dogs there as well! I work weekdays with some exceptions on the weekends. My calendar of availability is updated everyday. Please do not book out longer than a month from the current date without messaging me first.
