10. Chris E.
“Chris is an excellent sitter for my dog Jaxon. I had scheduled her for numerous week to let my dog out mid-day normally on Wednesday and Fridays, and occasionally on Saturday. She is very quick to get back to me about new request, and an excellent communicator for upcoming visits. When I first scheduled her, she was very flexible and accommodated my request in very short notice. She also goes above and beyond with the rover card she submits for visit by providing photos of Jaxon and details about the drop in visit. I look forward to continuing to book with Chris in the future.”
11. Emily M.
“Emily is outstanding and has been watching my zuzu for several months ! She always loves on my princess and I know she is well taken care of when I am gone as see her rover cards and pictures which tell the story.”
12. Jade R.
About: I have had pets all my life and my family made sure I was involved in the care and upkeep. I have handled different species and breeds with different disabilities, temperament, and backgrounds. Animals are one of my passions and so I’m more than happy to learn and experience more. I have a pretty open schedule, I simply ask to be notified of any changes a day in advance so that I can plan accordingly. I’m more than happy caring for your pet where they are most comfy, their own home! I can check and fill food and water (and litter boxes), take your little fluffy friend for walks, have playtime and get some exercise and enrichment in. Also, if needed, I can bathe them as well.
13. Hannah M.
“Hannah was AMAZING with my dog, Hopper. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets feel comfortable. She’s attentive and also communicates well and made sure I knew how my boy was doing the entire time I was gone. I’ll definitely be booking with Hannah again!”
14. Emily M.
“We ran into some unexpected issues, namely my front door keypad malfunctioning and locking her out, but she kept her cool and was more than patient and accommodating while I figured out a solution. I felt that my dog was in good hands and appreciated her coming by before to meet me and my dog, and learn the ropes. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Sunny with Emily in the future!”
15. Taylor H.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my Great Dane in the hands of Taylor. Although Bella is shy with new people she was always excited to go on walks with Taylor when she arrived. Will definitely hire again.”
16. Kylie F.
“I had a wonderful experience with Kylie! She was professional, reliable, and communicated with me for every house visit. My 2 cats seemed to enjoy her too! I highly recommend her!”
17. Alison N.
“I truly cannot recommend Alison highly enough! She was a terrific sitter for our pup through and through- she was incredibly attentive to every detail of his care, she was so easy to communicate with, and she was responsible with every aspect of the visits. She left detailed notes with lots of wonderful pictures for each visit, and each time I came home to a happy, well-loved pup. I know he enjoyed his time with her and can’t wait to see her again!”
18. David R.
“I have known David for over 10 years, and - during this time - he has become a close friend to me, my husband, and especially our pups! My husband and I are huge dog lovers and have adopted quite a few dogs over the years - some being more anxious / reactive / sensitive than others. David has consistently shown so much love and care to our pups and, as a result, they love and trust him so very much. We call him the dog whisperer. He has a calming presence about him! In the past few years, David has been taking care of our Great Pyrenees, Gunner. Gunner is territorial, reactive, and anxious. However, David gained instant trust with Gunner. We refer to him as "Uncle David" and Gunner gets so excited to see him and never leaves his side. David truly has a gift with animals, and we trust him 100% with all of our fur babies.”
19. Julie C.
“Julie dubbed my 2 old sister cats the Golden Girls - which is perfect. The girls took to her immediately, ran to her when she came in, and enjoyed it when she played with them. Julie was on time, reliable, gave medication, fed them and cleaned up after them... I'm so glad I found her to look after my precious elderly kitties. I will definitely re-book her next time I need a cat sitter!”
20. Sydney G.
“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”
