About: I am known as the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I have worked with everything from tiny 4 week old puppies to senior pets who need assistance walking and require multiple medications. I am comfortable with giant dogs and I have experience with fearful/aggressive animals. I’m an avid hiker and love to stay active, usually with my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk or care for your pet at your convenience! I have a reliable car and don’t mind driving! I have a yard with a secure, 6 foot privacy fence and live in a very walkable neighborhood with three parks near my home. If your pet is more comfortable staying home I am available to take care of them there! I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn your pet’s routine!
About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
“It’s much easier to leave my dog and cat when I know Jamie will be caring for them. His reports are always detailed and reassuring. Our pets are not easy, our dog has a lot of energy, and our cat requires twice daily medication. But for Jamie it’s no problem. When I come home I’m always greeted with calm and happy pets.”
“Would recommend Stephanie a million times! She’s been great to work with and is great with my elderly little dog. 10/10”
“Shannon was so great with my kitty! She just did one quick drop in but it was clear they had a great time and that kitty was well cared for!”
“My 2nd time having the great opportunity to have laura take care of my pet's. As always, she goes above and beyond. Such a sweet and kind person. Thank you Laura.”
About: I’m trying to save up money for vet school, and would love to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while at it! Growing up, I was the main caretaker and trainer for our two family dogs. As a teenager, I had a monopoly on neighborhood pet sitting. Now, I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own (part of why I’m eager to dote on yours). I’ve loved meeting so many new furry friends across St. Louis :) Ive also done volunteer work handling wild animals such as hawks, squirrels, and possums! I’m currently working part time, so I have a decent amount of availability with enough notice! My work schedule can be flexible as well, so I’m happy to work something out with you if we have conflicts 👍 I’m no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. If any accidents happen, I will be sure to leave the spot squeaky clean! I’ve also lived in the neighborhood for 3 years so I know the area well. I’m excited to take your pet on a fun and safe walk, or just give them a comforting lil visit at home.
“Morgan takes such great care of my cat! Jesse was as relaxed as ever when I got home, so I know he really enjoys her visits. She kept me updated and sent cute pics too! I’d highly recommend Morgan!”
“I’ve been using Brooke regularly since moving to St. Louis and never want to use anyone else! She is the absolute best and I always feel good leaving my babies in her care!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I would adopt a hundred if I could, but since I can’t I think this app is the next best thing! I am a teacher so I have evenings free throughout Mon-Friday and weekends free anytime to help! I will become fully free during next summer. I care for pets as if they are family members, I may be guilty of spoiling them from time to time but they deserve it!
“Kyani went above and beyond with our boys! We will definitely use her services 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!!”
