About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!

I booked Hope to care after my two cats, while I took a 5 day trip. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before I left and the cats were receptive to her very calm demeanor. That's a big plus when you introduce a new person to your pets. I have a cat with diabetes and needs insulin shots, twice a day. He can be uncooperative with others giving the shot, but she was successful on each occasion. I received timely updates after each of her visits and positive messages, which give assurance that all was ok back home. I was extremely happy with her care and will definitely hire her again.

Mikayla did a great job working with all three cat personalities. Even one of my female cats, who can be skittish, was out and about with her during visits. Mikayla was also awesome when we ran into a logistical issue with the home access. She was immediately responsive and made time to go back and spend time with my cats because the logistical issue made the scheduled time shorter. I so appreciated her care and attention to their needs.

Emily is the best cat sitter I could ask for. My cats love these visits and seem more photogenic than they have with other sitters, suggesting greater comfort. Emily is thoughtful with cleaning out the water bowls and is great with updates.

Sarah was PHENOMENAL! My pup is easily frightened so I was worried about having someone come in to take him out for his daily breaks. She was very patient with him and gave me detailed updates throughout the day. I am so glad I chose her to take care of my baby while I was away. I will definitely using her services again very soon !

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with a wide variety of animals, including both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to overnight house sitting. I was a regular sitter on my neighborhood’s babysitting and pet-sitting list for years before moving to St. Louis last year. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure every pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on break from college at USC so I will have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
