“Harley was awesome with my Polly Pocket! I knew my recently adopted foster-fail dog would be great in Harley's hands while I traveled out of state for 5 days. Harley kept Polly busy with treat puzzles, training games, walks, and chasing bunnies in the backyard. I loved the pictures they sent and the thorough and honest updates about how Ms. Pocket was doing. And the cherry on top: I could immediately see some of the training Harley implemented with Polly, which was very appreciated as we settled back in to the daily grind back in St. Louis after the trip. Would absolutely book again with Harley in a heartbeat!”
About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Hailie is amazing! Our 7 month old pup is a lot of work but she handled him with all of the patience and love in the world. You can tell she really loves dogs! I cannot imagine leaving our dog with anyone else.”
About: The doggy door is the best thing about my place — your dog decides when to be outside, into a fully fenced yard. My young goldendoodle will happily play all day. Nights are crated unless your dog does better otherwise; I'll match whatever they're used to. I work full-time, mostly in the office. But my kitchen has a doggy door leading to a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can come and go as they please all day. I also have a 1.5-year-old doodle who gets along well with other dogs and is happy to play or nap, depending on the mood. Evenings and weekends, we walk the neighborhood, play fetch in the backyard, or head to a park or dog café for some socializing. Treats and cuddles to end the day. A fenced yard and a built-in doodle playmate to keep your fur baby company. I crate at night- let me know if your dog isn't used to that. I feed twice a day and give treats throughout, or whatever schedule you'd like, just tell me what your dog is used to.
About: I love them all. I love when they are new to life and excited. I love them when they've lived a lot of life and are slowing down. It was a privilege to clean up all the messes before my 17yr old best fur friends left me. Health issues from old age doesn't bother me. Neither does a little pee or poop from potty training. I have patience. I volunteered for the St Charles Humane Society in the 90s and again 2012-2015 for the San Diego Humane Society's mobile adoption unit. I work mostly weekends and typically evenings if I pick up shifts during the week. My weekday mornings and afternoons have a lot of flexibility. I would love to schedule consistent walks and feedings throughout the week, but have the freedom and flexibility to provide additional care for temporary needs. I want my clients to know they have someone they can count on last minute to fill a need they hadn't foreseen, but I'm also open to establishing a longer relationship and am in a position where I can commit to routine assistance. If I'm cat sitting for you, you can have peace of mind knowing I'm going to talk their ears off and take every scratch in allowed to give. I'm not just feeding and scooping, I'm giving love and attention. I'm open to boarding cats and small dogs. My backyard isn't completely fenced, but I a bonus side yard that is fenced in. I'm sandwiched between Tower Grove Park and Crondelette. There's food parks and neighborhoods to stroll nearby. I can provide overnight stays in your residence if your dog is medium or large, you have multiple critters and want them to get spoiled with love, or if it just makes sense and makes you feel better to have a 2 for 1 pet sitter and eyes on your property. I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and absolutely LOVE animals. I have 3 fur babies that love to make new friends! During the week I am available for walks and drop in visits before and after work; during the workday depends on the location. For boarding, your dogs would be loved and taken care of the same as mine in our home; let out in the yard every couple hours, fed, given treats, and played with to keep active. I have a fenced in yard for your fur baby to play and 3 dogs who love to make friends. I can also crate your dog if needed.
“Isa was great. She was very flexible to our schedule for drop off and pick up. We got back into town late and Isa had Jannahs stuff packed up and ready for a quick pick up. She sent daily text updates with pictures which helped any separation anxieties as this was the first time away from Jannah. Isa also practiced safe covid practices during drop off and pick up. Isa is a genuine down to earth person worthy of taking care of anyone's furry friend. I will use Isa again when needed”
“I am very impressed with how well the dog sitting went and how great of care she took care of my dog. The picture updates were wonderful and she did a great job communicating. I could tell my dog was very happy and didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend to others as I am very pleased.”
“I would give Leah 10 stars if I could!!!! This was my first time using service. I didn’t know what to expect. She made the process super simple. She was way absolutely amazing with my 3 dogs. My very old, very very needy Weimaraner dude barked all night the first night. Unfazed she invited him into her bedroom. Still barking, she calmed him and soothed him all night. She’s excellent with all the dogs in her care. I have found our only sitter going forward. 100% would recommend! 10 stars!!!”
“Three stays in two weeks probably says it all. Soup absolutely loves Emily and her babies. At this point, her house is basically his second home. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: After nearly 15 years of caring for my own beloved small dog through every stage of life, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have extensive hands-on experience with small and senior dogs, as well as shy/nervous dogs, including medication routines, special needs, changing mobility levels, and dogs who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially interested in providing a calm, home-like environment rather than a busy kennel experience. My goal is to care for your dog like they’re temporarily part of my family — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks, and time to relax. I prefer caring for one dog at a time so they receive lots of individual attention. Note - at this time I can only accept hypoallergenic or low shedding breeds that are under 40 pounds and are very comfortable walking on a leash. I work from home but I’m selective with my availability and only open my calendar when I know I can give your dog plenty of time and attention. I enjoy having a dog around the house and will make sure they get lots of companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles and downtime based on their normal routine. I prefer to care for one household’s dog at a time so they can feel comfortable and get plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m especially comfortable with small and senior dogs and understand that some pets need a little extra patience, supervision and TLC. I live on a small, quiet cul-de-sac but please note, I do not have a fenced in yard, so dogs must be very comfortable walking on a leash.
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Lauren was incredibly friendly and took great care of Comet. He seemed to really enjoy his stay and came back happy. Thank you Lauren for being so flexible and for watching Comet!”

With experience in handling various breeds and a genuine affection for animals, I ensure your furry friends are in safe hands.

Otherwise I will be in home the whole time unless something comes up. :)

Sarah did a great job taking care of my Lily over a long 4-day weekend. She provided lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates and photos while I was away. My dog came home happy, and calm, which is an excellent sign of good care. I would definitely recommend Sarah if you want your dog spoiled! And who doesn't want that?!!
My kitty was at Jennifer‘s home for three weeks while I traveled. Felix adapted very well to the four caretakers as well as the other kitties either living or being boarded in the home. I received regular updates via rover.com as well as WhatsApp. I will definitely use Jennifer and her team again without hesitation because of the exemplary care my Kat received.
This is our first time using Judy as our sitter and she was fantastic. She is very easy to work with and truly cares about the dogs she watches. We enjoyed our vacation knowing our little dachshund was given five star treatment. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Ashlie and Phillip were great and we could tell Max did well. He’s on several medications and that didn’t seem to be a difficult thing for them to handle.. Max got plenty of exercise (play) and love from their entire family. Communication with photos was excellent and despite this being our first time with them, we were more than pleased and know Max will be visiting them again!
Shari provided a wonderful environment and loving care for our dog, Poppy. Poppy was relaxed at her home and excited to see Shari the second time we booked her. She sent us cute photos and updates and made us feel that Poppy was in the best hands. We will definitely book Shari again!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
