About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.
About: I have had my own dogs for my entire life and now care for my childrens' dogs when they go out of town. My neighbors have relied on my to walk their dogs during the day. I am currently retired from my last position as a massage therapist and my own dog of 16 years passed away a year ago. I am home most days, and can give your pet my unconditional attention. I have a fenced yard and live alone so there will be no distractions from caring for you pup. I tend to be away from home only for a couple of hours, if that, most days.
“Daisy was completely exhausted after a FUN day of play with Sara's dog. Sara was a great sitter with excellent communication on my need for a slight schedule change. Daisy is definitely going back soon to visit and have a fun play date.”
About: With years of dog mom experience and fostering for local rescues, I can honestly say dogs are my first love. I have two rescued senior dogs, Pork Chop, a Jack Russell terrier and Trudy a “super sized” dachshund who are the loves of my life. They are the “golden girls” of the neighborhood and adore other dogs. They have helped many of my fosters overcome separation anxiety and are always happy to meet new pups. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that much like humans, they all have wildly different personalities. Their safety and well being are my greatest priorities so please share as much info as you can regarding triggers, food restrictions, resource guarding or anything else that makes them unique. ⚡️☔️ If your pet has triggers, not a problem! I’m well practiced in handling those unpredictable moments, keeping your baby safe and relaxed indoors and on walks. 💊 If your dog or cat needs meds, don’t fret! I’ve cared for animals in varying stages of health and have tons of experience in how to administer meds to even the snootiest of snoots. 🍗 Is your dog a trash eater? Fear not, so are mine! My years of being a dog mom have created a 6th sense for knowing when our fuzzy toddlers are about to grab a “street treat.” 🐱 And let’s not forget kitties, they are my favorite people too! I grew up around cats and care for a few neighbor kitties so I’m familiar with all the quirks that make them lovable. Special feeding requests and litter box cleanings are not a bother so you can feel confident your feline friend will be kept well fed and tidy. ⏰ Most of my availability is between 9am and 9 pm but please check with me as I will always do my best accommodate if you need an earlier or later walk. Boarding is case by case since I already have two dogs. A preliminary meet and greet is required to be sure everyone gets along. Also, I can only board dogs up to 25 pounds. My home is a calm, safe environment where dogs are free to lounge, play and be themselves. If your dog likes to be free or needs some crate time just let me know, I understand how important it is to follow these instructions. Changing wee wee pads is never an issue, just leave the fresh ones out and I’m at your service! As for Covid-19 safety there’s no reason to worry, I’m fully vaccinated/ boosted and always masked. Plus, I travel in my own car, avoiding public transportation so you can feel at ease when I enter your home. I’m also happy to remove my shoes, wash pet bowls and clean surfaces during feeding times :) Hope you enjoy the photo gallery of all the fur babes in my orbit 🪐
“Sarah was amazing! Super responsive, accommodating, and kind. Even sent us photos of our dog throughout the day! Will definitely be returning.”
About: I’ve grown up with a variety of pets, and love learning their personalities. More than comfortable with wide ranges of ages and can provide medication, activities, and lots of love! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I can care for pets after the hours of 5pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I am flexible, outside of weekday working hours 8am-5pm. I feed/water, pet/cuddle, clean up after, bathe/groom, walk/play with my pet on a daily basis, depending on the service, I do the same for my clients.
“OMG, my dog just loves being at Jordans! When I went to pick him up he kept trying to go back into the house!!! Obviously my little man feels very comfortable there... and I think he has a little crush on Jordans dog Penny!!”
“Vanika was very quick to pick up our last minute request and did a great job hanging out with our little guy for the day! She sent a lot of pics and hung out with him outside a lot. Highly recommend her!”
“Our pup Mattie sprints to the front door, she’s always so excited to play with Fae. Safe, responsible pet watching—what else could you ask for?”
“Katelyn was perfect. We left her with our dog, Pookie, for a few hours as we passed through St. Louis. Pookie was as happy as can be.”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in high school, and have experience with a wide variety of dogs and cats. I am a lifelong "dog mom" and have fostered 40+ dogs and puppies over the past few years, and I know just how important it is to be certain that your pet is cared for just as you care for them! I am able to accommodate your varied schedule based on what's best for you and your pet. I'm available for ongoing or occasional services for your pet. At this time, I do not offer services at my home. I provide services in your home and neighborhood so that your pet is comfortable in their own environment.

I’ve used Rover for years and Reba is the best for doggie daycare! Very kind and attentive. My dog loves her.

My pup had an amazing time with Chelsea and her sweet dog Mo—they played nonstop in her spacious, fenced yard and got tons of attention and love. She kept me updated with cute photos throughout the day, and communication was super easy. My pup came home happy, tired, and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Kristyn is kind and communicative. Our pup Geordi had a blast with her and her doggy during doggy day care and overnights. I appreciated the pictures and videos she sent. Plus her availability and flexibility regarding our sitting needs was really accommodating.
I needed daycare for our puppy who is not yet accustomed to being alone. Darin was so great with her. She came home after a few hours pooped out and happy from doggy play.
Elizabeth is the most professional, sweet, and amazing caretaker! I had an emergency situation and needed someone to watch my new puppy while I was at work. She was incredibly accommodating and quickly responded. Not only was she very careful with keeping my puppy safe, Elizabeth was incredibly knowledgable and experienced. She provided photos and regular updates while I was at work and gave my puppy the most amazing first stay away from home! Thank you so much for all the help! :)
