Samantha was amazing! She watched our cat and turtle for almost a week while we were away and sent images and updates every visit. We will definitely be re-booking her the next time we need a sitter :)

Lily was amazing with our kitty Vera. She is on a special diet and medicine and Lily ensured she ate and received her medication. She sent updates every morning and was very responsive. Will definitely use Lily again.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life (as well as a few chinchillas, parakeets, racoons, fish, etc.) I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours. I recently retired so I have maximum flexibility to meet your needs. Weekdays or weekends are fine. Long-term or short-term both work for me. I am flexible. I live a short distance from a dog park and walking path. Let me know any of your pets special needs and I would be happy to accommodate them.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have had a few of my own and was relied on by neighbors, family, and friends to take care of their dogs while they were away! I am currently a college student, and also work part time. I am off work for a couple months, so I have plenty of time to feed, let out, and play with your animals! I do not have other animals come to my house because I have one older dog of my own, and my house does not have a ton of room for more animals.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years now and I love all animals! I can do puppies all the way to senior pets and I have no problem with any breeds! I also love reptiles and rodents if you have any in addition to dogs or cats, i’d happily do anything you need me to do for them! I am a college student at siue but I still have a super flexible schedule and i have a lot of free time to hang out with pets! i’ve grown up with pets all my life and even worked at a doggy daycare in my hometown so i’d love to be there for pets who don’t like daycares and prefer to stay in their own space. Also, weather doesn’t bother me so i’ll walk your pet in rain or shine!

About: I am a firm believer that pets are family members and should be treated as such. I grew up always having a dog in the house. I am a very loving and caring person and have always found comfort in having a pet around and taking care of them. I have two dogs of my own and two guinea pigs. They are my world and are very spoiled. I have experience in giving medication or special care as mine require that as well, feeding, bathing, and walking. I work three 12 hour shifts a week and one weekend a month so I have plenty of open opportunities to take care of your fur babies! I am committed into following any certain order or instructions you are willing to give me in taking care of your pet. I am passionate in keeping your animal comfortable in the environment that they know and love.

About: Hey dog parents! My name is Jane and I have extensive experience as a full-time pet boarder and sitter when I was based in Nashville, as seen from my reviews! I loved it so much, but I also front a rock band, and our touring schedule has prevented me from pet-sitting consistently for the past couple of years. I also live in a converted campervan with my husband Ian (a fellow dog lover as well). We will be in St. Louis visiting family throughout the winter (in between tours) so we will be available to care for your pet! :) Having our own space in the van works great for house sitting because we can park outside your house and we have everything with us! If you prefer us not to use the kitchen or not sleep in the house, that is so easy for us but to be honest every owner has wanted us to sleep inside since pups love to sleep with company! We can keep the schedule they are used to and we don't mind dogs in bed if that is what they are used to. It is all about keeping life consistent for your babe. I have always been a dog lover and grew up with a golden retriever, Honeymoon. Making sure dogs feel comfortable and loved is so important to me! Being in a small space and touring in a band prevents us from getting our own pup, but we would love to help care for yours! We are self-employed so our schedule is very fluid. We would work on our laptops in your home, being with your pet most of the day! I love taking walks, so it is no problem to give your dog regular exercise! Playtime and cuddling are always a must to make your dog feel loved and ease anxiety while you are away!

About: I've had pets my whole life dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and fish. I've done pet sitting/ pet check-ins for multiple different familys on several different occasions walking dogs has always been something I like to do whether it be my own dogs or family members or someone else I just really enjoy being around animals. I have 3 dogs of my own 8 in my house, 4 cats of my own, and I work at a doggy daycare during the day! I promise to love your babies as if they were my own and we will have the best time together! Currently I am doing DoorDash and helping care for my Dad, so I can be pretty flexible on scheduling time to spend with your fur babies! I do not offer pet care in my home as all of my pets have varying temperaments and anxiety levels, also my Dad is a disabled veteran and I like to keep stress levels down for him. I would love to take your pups out for a walk or do check ins/house sitting with your babies!
