House Sitting The Greater Ville

“Erin was wonderful with our two pups, who tend to struggle when we leave, but adjusted to her with ease. She regularly communicated and really enjoyed our dogs. She really centered her focus and care on our dogs and their needs which gave us the reassurance we needed to enjoy our trip. She took great care of our home too. We will absolutely book her again.”

“We are so glad that we booked Ross to stay with our adult dog and our puppy while we were out of town for a few days. He did a fantastic job. The dogs had lots of fun while we were gone. And the house looked great when we got home.”

“William was amazing and attentive to all my pets! I was worried leaving my puppy for travel but she didn’t miss me because William was so amazing”

About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!

“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”

“Zachary was very professional and we felt confident leaving our little dog in his care. We highly recommend Zach and we will certainly use his services again.”

“Tess was amazingly helpful with my dog, Boston!! He is a big dog with a lot of energy and I always worry that he might be a lot to handle for anyone coming over, and this was my first experience using Rover. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t recommend Tess enough!!”

“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”

“This sitter was amazing and made our vacation away from our pets doable! She spent lots of time with Sunny and Kitty, taking them for walks and playing with them. She sent lots of pics each day, all day long to assure us the animals were getting lots of attention. There were no negative issues at all! Highly recommend!”

Elizabeth G.

“I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!”

Sandi M.

“Evelyn was very communicative and took very good care of our girl. Our senior dog has some quirks and special requests, and Evelyn had no issues, making our time away stress free.”

Jena A.

“Grace was wonderful with my boys. I was having horrible anxiety about leaving them so she was really nice to provide me with frequent updates and pictures. I will keep her in mind for future care for my boys if she is willing to watch them again haha. She also left the house just as we left it which I really appreciated. Reach out to her!”

Jackie H.

“Brianna was great with both of dogs! I got daily updates and pics that made me feel so comfortable being away from the dogs. She also took great care of the house. We will for sure be using her again!”

Emily U.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley went above and beyond for Monkey and Winston, sending the sweetest pictures and keeping me updated the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing they were so well cared for. I’ll definitely be rebooking her next time I’m away!”

Mandi V.

“Laura was amazing with Riley! We had another sitter cancel on us last minute, but Laura stepped up and saved the day. She is very responsive, attentive, and gave us updates multiple times per day on how our girl was doing while we were away. We will definitely be using her for future vacations/trips…we know our pup will be in great hands! Thank you Laura 😌”

Emily L.

“Jen was our first over night sitter with Rover so I of course was nervous about leaving our pooch Mercury with someone new. We had a meet and greet a few weeks prior to our scheduled date and right away I felt at ease with her. Over the weekend she sent updates and pictures. She even took him for additional walks which definitely made his weekend! We returned home to a very happy pup! Would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”

Sherry T.

“Karah was great! This was a last-minute trip, and I was concerned about leaving the pup behind with a new person, but she made me feel comfortable immediately. She came the same day for a meet and greet, and I knew her and Oslo would get along swimmingly. She kept me up-to-date with his walks and how he was doing, and I believe her being at my home really helped him take to her quickly. I will definitely use Karah again, and if you are looking for a sitter, I'd recommend her to anyone.”

“Alex & his wife took care of my 3 pups over a long weekend. I had them stay at my home as 2 are foster dogs & more comfortable here now. Everything was great & the pups were well taken care of.”

Sarah N.

“Jasmine was such a blessing and truly met my needs and expectations. She took really good care of Bear while I was gone, playing ball, making sure he had his meds, and fed him each day. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone that LOVES animals!”

Jennifer M.

“Kay Beth is terrific! She stayed in our home and took care of our two dogs. She kept us in the loop the whole time, sent pictures, and let me know right away when one of my dogs broke a nail. Right from the start, when she came to meet the dogs and see the house, Kay Beth was super professional, friendly, asked lots of questions, and paid attention to the details. The dogs were happy and well-cared for, and my family and I enjoyed our vacation knowing we had nothing to worry about at home. Thanks Kay Beth! Obviously, I highly recommend her to care for your dogs, too!”
