Hope also had great recommendations to help with walks as well. We would 100% recommend Hope for any of your pet sitting needs! She’s the best!!”

About: I am recently retired and have owned and cared for dogs for the last 30 years. I am a reliable, trustworthy dog walker/ visitor who will show love and affection to your dog. I currently own 2 dogs and have had dogs from puppy age up to 16 years old. I would love to take your dog for a walk or just come by and say hi !! I am recently retired so I have a flexible daytime schedule during the week. I can make those long days at home alone a better experience for your dog with a nice walk in your neighborhood and personalized attention at home, Having two dogs of my own, I am capable with multiple dog families. I will also give your dogs the extra attention they need before and after the walk.

“Allison has been dropping in and taking our dog on walks for a few months now and she has been wonderful! She is very prompt, reliable, and communicates well. We would highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of my own animals my whole life, and have sat for other people on numerous occasions. I have also assisted with much of the care and feeding of a dog and several cats over the years. I live in South St. Louis City, and I can only really work there or in areas near there, but if you live close to me you will never be without the help you need. I can stay in your house if you'd like me to, but I can't keep other people's pets in my house because I have a very nervous and shy cat who would be made uncomfortable by this and a crazy dog who might scare your pets. I repeat: I can stay in your house or I can just pop in and out to take care of your pets, but I cannot have outside animals stay in my home. I also walk dogs. The rates for that might be a little bit different, but I assure you they will still be affordable. I have to say though that I cannot walk for an extended period in thunderstorms or freezing/icey temperatures. That's for my safety as well as your dog's. I will be your pet's new best friend and your asset when you are in a pinch or are going somewhere and can't take care of them. I have loved animals since I was a child, and I rarely find one with which I don't get along. I don't have a job which will take me out of town frequently, so I can provide my services as long as they are needed. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable animal friends! I have availability on weekdays as well as weekends Message me and we can talk about scheduling a time for me to walk your dog I will make sure the animal gets whatever care they need I am not a vet though, so if your animal is sickly and/or old then I don't know how well I can care for them

“Jessica is great! She is flexible with my schedule and treats my pup like one of her own. Phoebe gets so excited to see her. Jessica helps me feel less guilty about having to leave my fur baby while I’m at work all day. 100% would recommend her!”

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to detail, whether that's following feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, maintaining habitats, or providing playtime and companionship. I have 4 years of volunteer experience caring for senior animals, so giving medications and providing extra care is no big deal for me. I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, shy animals, and pets that need a little extra patience. My goal is to make sure your pets stay happy, safe, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind with reliable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for to ensure they receive timely visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and plenty of attention. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special needs. I am also trained in animal CPR, which gives an added level of preparedness in case of an emergency. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure pets remain secure, comfortable, and stress-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Really wonderful experience with Ross. He is prompt and timely, an excellent communicator, and very nice! My dog loved him, I would not hesitate to book him again.”

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I’m currently accepting new pet sitting clients in the St. Louis area. I work at Saint Louis University and also work part-time as a caregiver, so being dependable, responsible, and communicative is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have a Lab mix of my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, medication administration (oral medications), playtime, and overnight pet sitting. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to cats, so I’m only accepting dog and other non-cat household pet clients at this time. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will care for your dog like family, I’d love to connect. Feel free to message me with your location, dates, and what services you’re looking for. I currently have a full time role at SLU that offers remote days and flexible hours. I am able to adjust my schedule to manage both. I am very comfortable working with larger energetic dogs and those who may be a bit more timid. My family dog is a bull mastiff boxer mix who can run around for hours on end and my dog is an anxious couch potato through and through.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide in-home care while they’re away. I’m comfortable following specific routines, handling leash walks, and making sure dogs feel safe, calm, and well cared for in their own environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding schedules, and visits. I’m dependable, organized, and make sure pets receive consistent care and attention. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow all instructions closely, respect routines, and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times. I keep spaces clean, double-check doors and gates, and provide calm, attentive care.

About: I was born and raised in Colorado and recently moved to St. Louis and I’m excited to explore the city while spending time with some amazing pets along the way! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have over 10+ years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I genuinely love working with all kinds of pets, whether it’s taking dogs out for long walks, keeping up with energetic puppies, or spending quiet time with cats and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with dog walking, pet sitting, and cat check-ins, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs. I’m an active person who enjoys being outside, so getting dogs out for exercise is something I really enjoy. At the same time, I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to help care for them and give you peace of mind while you’re away!

About: ***Constant care pets will be an extra fee*** Constant care is care in which we cannot leave your pet alone for more than 3 hours. Meet and greets are free unless you need more than one before the stay, then the first meet and greet is free. My expertise is with older dogs, pets with disabilities (such as dementia or seizures), and pets that need medications. I'm also experienced in multi-pet homes where one or more pets are seniors/special needs and other pets are high energy or puppies/kittens. I have experience caring for pets who are recovering from operations as well. If your pet does need Constant care, we can negotiate a price that works for you. I've always had pets. I have always had cats, dogs, guinnea pigs, or ferrets. I'm versed in many kinds of animals and am happy to care additional small animals if needed. Short notice is ok as long as there are at least 2 days between the time I'm asked and the time of the stay so that there's time for a meet and greet. For repeat customers, I accept even same-day requests. I work 8 hours, 4 days a week. Since we do petsitting together, if there is a need for constant care, one of us will always be present in the home with your pet. Safety is my #1 priority when caring for your pets. I make sure to watch pets attentively on walks and in the yard to ensure maximum safety. My services include grabbing mail and packages, watering plants, giving medications as instructed, daily walks as instructed, basic cleaning up after myself and your pets, daily updates and pictures, and following your regular schedule as closely as possible to ensure as seamless a change as possible while you get to experience a worry-free time away.
