“We appreciated Nana taking on Mowgli for a few days. She always kept us updated and welcomed Mowgli to her home. I appreciated the pictures and detailed updates throughout his stay. Mowgli was very happy since he got to play a lot and was very well taken care of.”
“Laura was amazing with our boys all week. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very patient while they adjusted to a new place. Already booked her for our next trip!”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was a baby — from tiny Pomeranians to big, lovable German Shepherds. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors (both dogs and cats!) and love giving pets the care, walks, and attention they deserve. I’m currently a medical resident, which means my schedule shifts weekly — but that actually gives me the flexibility to help care for your pets when you need it most. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy (I take caring for your furry family members as seriously as I do my patients!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 As a medical resident, my schedule changes week to week, but I have flexibility for daytime, evening, and some weekend visits to fit your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my own small dog. There’s plenty of room for play indoors, and I have safe, walkable areas nearby for exercise and potty breaks. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I can also crate pets upon request to match their routine and keep them comfortable.
“Mary was great with my little terrier mix, who typically needs some time to warm up to new people. She gave him his space, and a few hours later…they were friends! She also communicated well and gave a daily update with photo, which I appreciated. Will definitely use her again.”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Shannon was GREAT with my large lab mix! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, provided updates and administered his medication as requested. I really appreciated her following through over a holiday when things are so busy!”
“She was amazing, sweet, & great with Marley! She made sure to walk Marley everyday which is his favorite thing to do & she also made sure she walked him before it got too hot which I really appreciate! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”
“Puff was a happy dog when I pulled up to pick him up! Kelli was easy to communicate with, sent adorable pics and house was spotless…let’s not forget her apartment is close and very convenient!”
“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”
“Reba treated Liberty just like her own. She sent pictures and updated how she was doing frequently. I’d ask Reba to watch Libs again in a heartbeat, knowing she was in great hands.”
“Our Rolo was always treated like family while visiting Walter’s. We received happy puppy pics and behavior updates every day. Walter is always diligent in keeping up with our aging bulldog’s extra hygiene and medication requirements. Thanks so much Walter. Rolo will miss you after we move.”
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”
“Jenny and co were all so great to my cat Qaswa 😁 She would provide daily updates with photos and videos of how things were going all day. They're very knowledgeable and understanding on cat's tendencies and did a great job accommodating her along with some other cats who were also staying over the long weekend. I definitely recommend housing your cats with them and I plan to do it again for my next vacation”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is the absolute best! She was Dolly's foster mom and her dog Eva is super sweet. Dolly always comes home happy and tired. She truly treats her like she's one of her own.”
“I would give Leah 10 stars if I could!!!! This was my first time using service. I didn’t know what to expect. She made the process super simple. She was way absolutely amazing with my 3 dogs. My very old, very very needy Weimaraner dude barked all night the first night. Unfazed she invited him into her bedroom. Still barking, she calmed him and soothed him all night. She’s excellent with all the dogs in her care. I have found our only sitter going forward. 100% would recommend! 10 stars!!!”
“Tre’Ana was a wonderful sitter for my puppy. It was extremely last minute and she was so patient and caring for my last minute trip and did an amazing job of taking care of my pup. The pictures she sent of my pup and giving me updates you can see how happy he was in her home. I highly recommend her services. With the global computer outage I was running late to pick up my puppy and she stayed up late and was incredibly patient with me. She went above and beyond for a stranger like me and for my dog which is incredibly important so I thank you Tre’Ana for being such a great care taker. I plan on using her again for my trip this week. I recommend you do the same if you want excellent professional care.”

“Jill did a great job, as always! Fantastic communication and I love the pictures she sends. Being able to trust someone with our animals while we are away has been a huge relief!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.

“Our cat loves Jamie. We love Jamie. What else is there to say? Oh, he leaves the absolute best visit notes. They are like a little heartwarming story connecting you to your beloved pet back home while you travel. He’s just the best.”
“Caitlin was incredibly nice, communicative, and great to work with. She truly gave our pets excellent care and attention. Would definitely use her again the future”
“Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!”
“Leanna did a great job with Mojo! She was great at communicating and sending me pictures of how he was doing. I probably would not have enjoyed my trip as much as I did if I didn’t have her checking up on Mojo.”
About: I have been taking care of pets from 5 years old. My dog, Winnie, is now 16 years old and still kickin’! He lives in Tennessee with my parents. I have grown up taking care of dogs and have a lot of experience with different breeds. I adopted my sweet kitty, Noodle, when he was 11. He’s now around 19 years old and has accidents on occasion, so I am used to messes with senior and young pets. I am currently working part time, but I am available during the morning and late afternoon. My weekends are mostly free. I keep my phone around at all times, so I am pretty flexible: I will always make sure your pet has clean water and the recommended amount of food. I will clean up any accidents if they occur and notify you of any abnormal behavior. You will also receive plenty of pet photos!
About: I have experience caring for animals in a clinic as a veterinary assistant. I can administer medications, provide treatments and am experienced in recognizing signs of distress/illness. Can provide care for pets with special needs! I also have a background in animal behavior and am happy to assist in training! I currently have availability on Friday afternoons and weekends! Need a vacation or just a break for the weekend? Let me take care of your pets/house and give you peace of mind at an affordable price! I will work with you to create an individualized plan of care for your pet's specific needs! I can provide walks, playtime, exercise, company, feeding, cleaning up, giving medication, treatments, assist with training/grooming, or anything else your pet and home may need!
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of my cat. I was out of town for a few days and needed someone to check in on my cat while I was gone. Jennifer was quick with her communications, friendly, caring, and easy to work with. I'm very happy with the experience and would definitely ask her to look after my cat again!”
“Karrie did an awesome job watching my fur babies while I had to travel for a work week. She regularly provided updates and pictures which put my mind at ease as I had never hired an overnight pet sitter before. The place looked just like it did when I came back and she clearly understands and loves cats. I definitely would recommend her to house sit for your pets.”
About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority!
About: My journey started over a decade ago with my first domestic shorthair, Queenie—and she truly was a queen! She showed me how amazing, fierce, and beautiful cats are, and taught me that every single cat has their own unique, wonderful personality just like people. Five years later, I got my Japanese Akita, Simba, who I love so much. Whether your pet is a cuddly kitty that enjoys their space or a big, playful pup, I love learning who they are and giving them the tailored, expert care and affection they deserve!
About: 5 years of experience taking care of my baby cat Ama who’s on allergy medication, I’m good at observing cat behaviors and identifying abnormal signals. 1 year of cat shelter volunteering, I am making friends with cats with different personalities. Now, I want to meet yours.
About: Hi, I'm Emma! By day, I’m a geologist working in brewing operations, but on the weekends, my focus is entirely on providing attentive care for your pets. My professional background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, reliable, and strictly adhere to schedules and routines. My love for animals goes beyond standard pet sitting. I have experience volunteering at The Creature Conservancy, where I learned all about it animal welfare. I also have a deep empathy for rescues and medical care—I personally rescued and successfully nursed my own street cat back to full health, so I am no stranger to administering specialized care, monitoring health cues, and giving extra patience to timid or sensitive animals.
About: I have experience caring for cats through both pet sitting and personal ownership. My family has had two cats since my childhood, and I cared for them throughout every stage of life, from energetic kittens to their senior years. I also helped care for them through various health challenges, including administering medications, managing chronic conditions, and providing comfort and support during end of life care, including cancer treatment. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have looked after cats for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, ages, and care needs. I am comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, senior cats, and cats with medical needs.

“Nana was a phenomenal sitter! Her dog got along so well with mine and I could tell she was getting lots of attention and playtime because she’d come home and pass out immediately. And I loved the pictures! Would absolutely book with her again.”
“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
About: I have two super goofy, friendly, and loving male Pit bulls. I work from home so will be around pretty much all the time. I take my dogs on a walk mostly 3 times a day but again I’m around a lot and get bored easily so might be 5 times a day :) My dogs are definitely spoiled and should not expect anything less for your pet when I’m watching them! I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special care such as taking medicine. Mostly home all day and night. I work from home so your pet will always be attended too unless I leave to make a quick errand run. My dogs do have cages but they are barely in them. Whenever I do leave my dogs stay out freely but they do well in their cages when needed. They do get along very well with other pets. Small dogs or large dogs.
“Shannon takes great care of Lilo during my long work days. Lilo even warmed up to her right away and now can barely wait to get into the door to see her 🤣 I am so thankful for all her time and how responsive and kind she is!”
“Jessica watched our Shih Tzu all day while we went to Our son’s law school graduation. It was first time leaving her with sitter all day. Jessica sent lots of pictures and text updates with really eased my mind a lot!! I would definitely book her again when I return to St Louis !”
About: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.
“I’m so grateful for Laura and her family. She was incredibly flexible from start to finish, and my dog is completely worn out—in the best way! Laura gave her all the attention I couldn’t, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”
“Shannon and Daniel are great people. Friendly, accommodating and took great care of Sadie. She was very happy when I picked her up and she slept most of the 2.5 hr drive home. They went above and beyond helping me locate a central location to meet my sister and her family to ride together to the Cardinals’ game. I will definitely use them again next time I’m in St Louis.”
“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”
“Alora was obviously comfortable, is definitely tuckered despite the rain, and we especially appreciate Jon & Alex accommodating Alora's protests of not joining me at work :) great daycare hosts!”
About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been the go-to pet caretaker for family members since I was nine. Whether it was for relatives traveling out of town or my own beloved dogs, I’ve handled a variety of breeds and temperaments with the utmost care and dedication. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in experienced, loving hands. My daily routine revolves around my pup. Each morning starts with a walk before I head to school for a few hours. When I get back, we enjoy some quality time, and I make sure my dog is fed and happy. Even when I work the night shift, I have a trusted friend who comes by to take care of my dog. At night, my dog is right by my side, sleeping in the bed with me until the next morning. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog in my care. Whether your dog prefers to be in or out of the crate, I ensure they are comfortable and secure. You can trust that I maintain a vigilant and caring watch over all the dogs I look after.
“Jacki was so great! Roscoe immediately felt at home and she sent update photos to keep me in the loop. Fae, her dog, was so sweet and was immediately Roscoe's buddy. Will definitely use her again!”
“Laura made sure to keep me updated throughout the day and was so patient with my girl Boston. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your puppy with someone else especially with her visual impairment! Laura was reassuring, kind, and made sure Boston was comfortable, happy, and safe!! Highly recommend and I cannot wait for Boston to go back and hangout🥰”
“So glad to have found Brian for our pet sitting needs We know that Sparky gets great care and lots of love. Brian is quick to respond and very flexible. We will definitely be back!”
About: Hello! My name is Medona but I prefer to go by Ruby! I grew up with dogs in my house and pets have become family members. I literally take them out every time I'm out hiking, shopping, picnics, etc. I have experience working with kids and the elderly so I am very patient and responsible. As a person who loves what Utah has to offer, I would love to have a buddy with me to hit the hiking trails. I'm more than willing to work along your regular schedule for your dogs regarding feeding, walk, and medication time too. As a dog owner myself, I get very anxious about how my favorite boy is doing so I usually send daily updates to make sure you have peace of mind. My partner takes care of my dog (Mani) when I'm watching other pets so there would be no interactions with Mani unless you feel comfortable! Contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! :) I'm currently working a full time job but can come during lunch breaks to check up on them. My weekend starts at noon on Friday.

About: Hi! My name is Maria and I live in St. Louis with my dog, Aviva. I love animals and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet ownership as well as petsitting for others. I enjoy providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am an experienced pet and house sitter with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and animals with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and providing post-operative care following surgeries and medical procedures. As a dog owner myself, I walk 3–5 miles daily and am happy to accommodate pets that require longer walks and higher activity levels. I also have experience handling large dogs and managing a variety of temperaments, including reactive pets, as my own dog is a 70-pound reactive dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a remote worker, I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house and stay active. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for drop in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and walks during the workday, while also having longer blocks of time available in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. I walk several miles a day with my own dog, so regular walks and exercise are already an important part of my routine. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and their owner's routine. Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or providing drop in visits and walks, I prioritize keeping their schedule as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. For cats, I focus on maintaining a clean litter box and respecting each cat's comfort level and personality.

Anytime a family member or friend will be out of town, they all know they can count on me to provide unconditional love and care for their pets, because they know... PETS ARE MY PASSION. THEY ARE FAMILY! I am open and flexible with my schedule, and can accommodate most needs. I have experience with puppies, kittens, birds, bunnies, older cats, and older dogs, (and sick pets too 😞) I have lost a few pets in my life, but all have lived long healthy lives with so much love. I'm familiar and comfortable with giving pets their medicine if needed. I have lots of love to give, to all the animals I meet! Rest assured, your pets will be cared for! **AVAILABLE ON HOLIDAYS!** I am a self employed house cleaner, so my schedule is very flexible. I can and will work around your schedule to provide the utmost care for your pets when needed. I ALWAYS provide photos and keep you updated on your pets!! I understand that time is a valuable thing, so I always make sure my pets, and others are always taken care of. I take pride in my pet care. I am honest, and patient, and it makes me so happy when pets get excited to see their owners, or guests.

He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is the absolute best! She was Dolly's foster mom and her dog Eva is super sweet. Dolly always comes home happy and tired. She truly treats her like she's one of her own.”
“I would give Leah 10 stars if I could!!!! This was my first time using service. I didn’t know what to expect. She made the process super simple. She was way absolutely amazing with my 3 dogs. My very old, very very needy Weimaraner dude barked all night the first night. Unfazed she invited him into her bedroom. Still barking, she calmed him and soothed him all night. She’s excellent with all the dogs in her care. I have found our only sitter going forward. 100% would recommend! 10 stars!!!”
“Sarah took good care of my fur baby for the weekend and even made sure I was updated often about how she was doing and confirming that she was taking her medicine! Would book with her again.”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Ben was awesome with our golden retriever! He sent daily pictures and updated us on how out Gus was doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“If I could give Jamicia 100 stars, I would. My dog Chuck got the ultimate VIP treatment and is depressed now that he is home. 🙂 Jamicia is the only person I will leave my fur baby with. She is genuinely the very best.”
“Nicole did an amazing job at taking care of my 2 Elkhounds. She is very experienced and completely understood the situation with my male wanting to mark his territory. She kept me in the loop on how they were doing and let me know how she planned on handling situations. Nicole was very understanding when my return flight was canceled and I would be a few hours later than planned in picking them up. I definitely recommend Nicole.”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Great service! My dog Pompeii was well taken care of. He had loads of fun and was very active while being taken care of while I was out of town for my daughter's wedding. Great communication along with photo updates during his stay. Highly recommended!”
