“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”


“Hannah was great taking care of my cat for a quick drop in visit. She was able to refill his food and clean his litter box. Unfortunately my cat was not in the mood to meet strangers and Hannah knew to just say hello from afar and not push it!”


“Olivia is FANTASTIC! From handling a last minute holiday week booking all the way to final check in, they gave me such peace of mind being away from my critters. Expect tons of pictures and super thorough check-in notes!”

About: Are you looking for help walking your dog or checking in on them while you are away at work on vacation? Let me help you! I love all animals and breeds. I am gentle, attentive, and fun! I have owned dogs and cats all my life and I am very comfortable with them. I will pay attention to your pets body language to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I will follow your instructions for your pet closely. I have shadowing and volunteering experience with veterinarians and animal shelters. Are you unsure? We can find a time for you, your pet, and myself to meetup and see if we are a good fit. Need more immediate service? That is okay too! Let’s see if we can work together! I am a student and employed part time. I am mostly interested in walking and drop ins. I am upfront about my availability and let you know when I can or cannot do a service. I am extremely friendly to all pets. I am also very active which makes me a great companion for a walk (your dogs favorite word). I am respectful to peoples homes and any more instructions that you have more me are appreciated.

“Miranda was fantastic! Took care of our cats for a few days when a last minute trip came up and sent updates and photos each day and was super reliable. Will definitely book again!”


About: I have been dog walking at the APA of Missouri every weekend from 12–2, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m excited to bring that same care and attention to your dog! I’m a college student living in St. Louis for the summer with a very flexible schedule. I genuinely love caring for all animals and am available to start right away! I always make sure pets in my care feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I now have a friendly, 1-year-old spayed female dog who gets along well with others. I provide a calm, quiet environment and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Pets in my home will get individual attention, and I’ll ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Megan is amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible! Fast response time and my dog Ruby loves her! I would highly recommend Megan and we will definately be having her over again!”


“Jared was incredible with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving her in his care as I could tell she was in safe hands. He gave regular updates with photos, stayed the entire duration of the visit, and went above & beyond to accommodate our last minute booking. I will definitely be rebooking. Thanks Jared!!”


“Laura was excellent when it came to our two cats! She was there to feed and play with them, while also providing copious amounts of pictures of them looking happy and healthy! Definitely hire her if you need a pet sitter!”


“Reka was amazing with Ruby! We went out of town for the weekend, and she was great with making sure she had all the info needed, communicating with us throughout, and just making sure everything was smooth!”


“Abby was great with my 3 boys. 2 pitbulls and a cane corso are a LOT. lol i will be referring her and using her in the future, if she’ll have us. ? Thanks again Abby”



“Candace is great! My cat, who never let her previous sitter get close enough to touch her (even after 4 years!), warmed up to Candace quickly. Candace is reliable, thoughtful, and communicative.”


About: Love dogs, very flexible schedule, I’m a professional by day, and enjoy working with animals and helping people in my spare time. I have no set agenda and am not doing this for the money. I’m doing it because I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I live and work in downtown STL. My calendar is very open and I don’t see it filling up any time soon. I hope you find this biography interesting because it requires me to type 125 words and I am struggling with what else I should put. My dog Pierre is very low key. He is pretty happy just hanging out as long as he has a human to cuddle with. We like to do long walks, go to dog friendly places, and parks. We like to hangout with lots of options for exercise. I find dog behavior is based on their ability to release their energy in a positive way.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I was previously employed as a veterinary technician when I lived in Florida. I do have a part time job with a flexible schedule, but will have the availability before, after, or on my breaks during my shifts to take care of your babies. I have a dog of my own who has severe anxiety so I will be willing to do whatever necessary to aid with that. I do not mind walking your babies in this cold winter weather.

About: Hi! I am reliable, friendly and very flexible with my schedule. Dog sitting has been the thing I didn’t know I needed in my life! I wish I could have one of my own but it’s not the right time for me. I would love to care for your pet. I helped raise/train my childhood dog, have taken care of puppies, deaf animals, and gained the approval of a very protective and anxious Doberman with lots of patience and attention (my greatest accomplishment). Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with utmost care to keep you and your pet happy! I am a fine artist with a MFA in painting, and I take on interior design and other creative jobs as a freelancer. I will be traveling starting August 25th, but will be back late November. I love being outside, exercising, and hanging at parks, so I’m glad to be joined by a pup and will give them all the love. My routine already involves walks/runs outside and being home a lot, so it fits in great! When i’m not working, I am exercising, planning, making art and reading. I am very available to provide proper pet care and give pets the attention they need. My schedule changes by the days and weeks. In caring for the pet in their home, I make sure to know where everything is that I need and respect the home in making sure the pet doesn’t make a mess.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 - my neighbors would always trust me to be their dog sitter. I absolutely love taking care of pets and making sure they get the attention they need - whether it be play time or getting outside, or even just hanging out I work full-time during the week but I’m free on weekends, before work and after work. I’d love to spend my free time with your pet! I live in an apartment, so I am not in the best arrangement to take care of your pet from my home, but I am happy to drive to yours to take care of your pet! Happy to crate your pet / follow your house rules as needed!
