“Deborah is outstanding! She took excellent care of Samson and sent me updates and photos with each visit. Samson absolutely loves her. I was completely comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my "son". I would recommend her to anyone and plan on booking with her again in the future. Thanks Deb!! 🐈‍⬛♥️”

“Mikayla was fantastic and would recommend to anyone! She was very communicative, you could tell she cared about the animals and did everything she could to help out. Thank you for everything and will be using her again when I need someone to help out!”

About: I’ve been around both cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up with pets taught me how important it is to provide them with attention, patience, and consistent care. Whether your pet is playful and social or prefers a quieter approach, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I’ll treat your cat or dog with the same care and affection I’d give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and enjoyable part of my daily routine, especially as a teacher with summers off. I love spending my extra time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, and I appreciate the chance to fill my days with walks, visits, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable, attentive, and excited to give each pet the care and attention they deserve I currently care for my two cats at home, so I’m very comfortable with daily cat care routines like feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing their individual personalities and needs. In addition, I often help care for my parents’ dogs when needed, so I also have experience with feeding, walking, and general dog care. This mix of hands-on experience has made me confident and attentive with both cats and dogs, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“So kind and caring”

“I booked Hope to care after my two cats, while I took a 5 day trip. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before I left and the cats were receptive to her very calm demeanor. That's a big plus when you introduce a new person to your pets. I have a cat with diabetes and needs insulin shots, twice a day. He can be uncooperative with others giving the shot, but she was successful on each occasion. I received timely updates after each of her visits and positive messages, which give assurance that all was ok back home. I was extremely happy with her care and will definitely hire her again.”

“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”

“Autumn was awesome as usual! Always keeping me up to date on my little princess's visit and she takes awesome photos! Cant say enough about wanting to continue to use her!”

Rob S.

“Phoebe was available for a very last minute booking and took great care of our dog! She communicated frequently and sent pictures. We will definitely book Phoebe for drop in visits again!”

Kelsey M.

“Stephen, was great! Bonnie was so excited to see Stephen during his visits. I think she would have been happy to go home with him! Argo who has difficulty eating due to pancreatitis was happy and comfortable while mom was away. They were both well cared for and I definitely plan to use Stephen again!”

Tracey P.

“Natalee did a fantastic job with our nervous cat. Some pets take patience and understanding and she has both in spades. She provided great feedback and is who I will contact any time I need a pet sitter.”

About: I have more than 20 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, a degree from SLU in animal behavior and postgraduate studies in animal management. Please note that at any given time, I might have three dogs in the house, so I can only offer my boarding services to dogs that are not aggressive and that get on well with other dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. Your dog will benefit from 3 daily walks and we will be going to the local parks at least once a day. I have a very big fenced garden and I live in a quiet area near Tower Grove, with plenty of green space around us. I also have security camaras, to make sure that the pets are ok when I am not in the house.

“Brennan did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Rusty this weekend! This was my first time ever leaving him at home when I have gone out of town, as I’ve always boarded him at a kennel in the past, and it has always been really overwhelming and hard for him. I’m so glad that this time, I decided to instead do a series of Rover drop-in visits, and I could not have asked for a better person than Brennan for the job! She fed him, gave him his medication, walked him, played with him and in general, just gave him all the care and attention he craves. And through it all, she gave me great updates about everything that was going on with him, so I never had to worry about a thing. She’s the best!”

Brian B.

“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”

John D.

“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”

Kevin S.

“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat. I was out of town for a few days and needed someone to check in on my cat while I was gone. Jennifer was quick with her communications, friendly, caring, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with the experience and would definitely ask her to look after my cat again!”

Alice C.

“Jessica was great when she came to check on our pups! I love knowing my dogs are getting all the attention they need when we have to be at work!”

Kelly W.

“Emily was great with Georgia. She understood her needs & took care of them. She also made sure she got some R&R.”

Sharon S.

“Reba went above and beyond to take care of my kitty over the holidays. She sent photos and updates every day, and I felt totally at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Reba more highly and look forward to booking her again!”

About: My big brother was a black Lab; I've been around dogs my entire life. I started helping with care when I was in high school and I've never stopped. I'm unafraid of barkers, can deal with biters, and can bathe pretty much any dog. I love spending time with them and I'd love to help with yours! I have a single Pittie currently, but have had the privilege to raise a Rat Terrier (👼), a Pitt Bull mix and a German Shepherd/Chow mix in the past. I'm a parent, so I can walk and visit your pals during the day, generally 8 AM to 3 PM. Some weekends may be available, please feel free to ask. Currently, I cannot board your pets, but I hope to be able to do it in the near future. Please check back with me soon!
