“Misty was amazing! Her and her family were so welcoming of my pups and expressed such an excitement to have them in their home for a few days. That’s something you don’t always find! Plus, I got picture updates every day!”
About: I love dogs with all my heart. I am a new dog owner, but I am no stranger to dog care as I took care of my friends dog for a night and on other occasions. I have around 9 months of experience of taking care of my puppy. I have trained him in some of the basic commands and sometimes I love to make doggy treats for him. I am a recent graduate of highschool and will be home for most of the time. I will be able to take care of your dog anytime required. I have a temporary fence setup in my backyard along with a spacious basement. I have an extra bed if required for your pet along with extra blankets. If you would want your pet to be in a specific area of the house, there are extra fences that can be used. I will be able to monitor your dogs routine and needs. I will pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other needs you put in. I will make sure to give regular updates through photos or calls.
“Once again, Lorri took excellent care of our girl. We were gone 2 weeks & received a text and photo every day reassuring us that all was good back home. We will definitely call on Lorri again! Thank you Lorri!”

“Dawn has done a great job. My dogs were happy and very well taken care of. She knew exactly what to do all the time. She sent pictures often and I felt very confident they were in the best possible hands. Thank you very much!”
About: I’ve watched dogs for several of my friends and family in the past and have decided to take my care pet scratches to others in need. I’m currently a personal trainer. So I’ll have afternoons to come home and let the pups out. And I’m there for several hours at a time. I like to walk so they will get exercise in. I have a fenced in back yard. So the dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. They have a pond to drink from.
“Melinda was great with Sonny. She listened to me as I explained my dog's needs since he is an older dog. Despite not having a fence she explained how she keeps the dogs under her care safe. I would rebook with Melinda again.”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter! I knew from the moment we had our meet and greet that Winston was going to be in good hands! For six nights, our dog was in a lovely home and was well cared for. Amy took him on regular walks and sent pictures to show us how happy and at home he was! I highly recommend Amy and plan to use her services in the future!”
“Carly, Doug and their family did a fantastic job watching our active yellow lab Auggie for ten days while we were on a family vacation. They provided regular updates and photos of Auggie, which allowed us to know that he was in good hands. I highly recommend contacting Carly and Doug, if you need a sitter for your furry friend”
“Kathryn, she is a very responsible person who take very good care of our both dogs. She will ask you any specific concerns and requirements before your dog boarding. She provide her love and patience to every dog she takes care of. Again, if you looking for somebody to take care of your lovely pet, don’t hesitate to let her know.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Jennine from our first meet and greet, I felt a sense of trust and comfort. She took the time to get to know him and his quirks she provided daily photos of Remy having fun and looking content and relaxed. I highly recommend Jennine to anyone in need of a caring, responsible dog sitter. Thank you for caring for our precious pooch. I will definitely be re-booking.”

“I am always impressed with Barb's care for my 2 cats. She finds out their preferences and caters to them. She spends time both helping them feel comfortable with her for affection and plenty of play time. She is observant of behaviors and communicated each visit with many photos and updates. Plus, she is a pleasure to work with herself!”
“We really appreciate someone who loves animals like we do. We are a couple that likes to take short trips and need someone to just drop in a couple times a day to check on our cat Zoe, clean her litter, feed and play with her a little bit. Elizabeth did a great job doing that and we didn’t worry one bit knowing she was there for us. Gave a report and pictures every time she was there and just did a great job. Thanks”
“Our two cats were in great hands with Cynthia during our week long vacation! She was extremely detailed in communicating our kitties’ behaviors and activities, and she shared lots of pictures. One of our cats has additional bathroom needs, and Cynthia handled it perfectly - no accidents when we got home for the first time ever!! We felt totally at ease while we were away. We will definitely book Cynthia again in the future!”
“Natalie was great and exactly what we needed on such a short notice ! She came right on over and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with her for an unexpected week away! Will use her again”

She has a great attitude & even watered my plant while I was away! Thank you so much, Ashley!!”
“Danny and Jennie are the absolute best! We couldn’t thank them enough for meeting our high maintenance cat needs while we are out of town.

“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Beth did an amazing job! She was responsive to things whether it was a concern or a little favor. We had a big storm while we were away and she took some pictures of the damage the storm did!

“Anusha and her family are too good to work with. Our Pluto was kept very lovingly and utmost care. I kept receiving their playful pics and videos while Pluto was having a good time with all of them. It’s so good and a big relief to see Pluto been left with someone who will treat him with the same love and care that he gets at home. Will be coming back again and again.”

“I felt confident leaving my little dog with Jennifer. She sent adorable photos and updates, throughout the day, made me feel reassured . And the two small dogs got along really well. Definitely book again! Jennifer is wonderful and easy to work with!”
About: Charismatic and outgoing animal lover with 16 years experience owning pets, and hundreds of hours volunteering at the humane society in 3 different states. I grew up with cats, but could not own a dog until I moved out on my own, so I quickly got my first baby Alice the first chance I could. My fur babies include a 13 year old sweet beagle mix, Alice 🌈 and two gentle loving cats, Poppy and Millie. All of my animals have been around other animals their whole lives and get along with all creatures. I prefer not to board cats, but can keep your cat in a closed bedroom for their stay. I would love to open my doors to help out families in need of a more personal way to board their pets when they are away. Your animals must get along with cats and small children. I have a very flexible schedule so I have the ability to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on your pets individuals needs. My pets have free range of the house. Visitors dogs can be crated if needed or have free range of the house if ok left unsupervised.
“Melinda was very accommodating and Eli loved going over there. We would jump out of the car and I would follow him to the front door. Thank you so much and I will definitely use her again.”
“Holly is so kind and caring! My dog loves going to her house. She watched him for me while I am at work. I really appreciate her flexibility with my schedule since it changed every week. She send photos of my dog throughout the day to keep me updated. Super happy I found her and will continue to use her to watch my dog.”
“I cannot recommend Bhairavi highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Oakley felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly well-loved! It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Bhairavi is the one. Bhairavi and Gary have a beautiful home and you will not find anyone better to love and care for your dog!! I will definitely be booking again!”
“I love everything about this couple and their Whippet and Italian Greyhound. They are both very caring and attentive and genuinely love caring for and playing with dogs. They treated my dog like their own and showed him so much love and care.”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ballwin
About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.
About: I’ve lived with my dogs for around 10 years. I take them for walks, feed them when my family needs some help. I have a big dog and a medium sized dog! I don’t have any professional experience but I take care of my dogs often. :) I’m a student at Mizzou, so I will typically be busy until 3pm when I’m in Columbia. When I’m back home in Ballwin over breaks, I should typically be free at all times. I can’t have pets in my home, but in others home I am able to give walks, play with animals, and do anything that’s needed! I love taking care of animals and I’m super careful with them.
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
“Cynthia was amazing- she went above and beyond the call of duty. It’s obvious that she loves animals. It stormed all weekend while we were gone, but she was very careful to make sure that our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Cynthia.”
“Alli accepted a week before when another sitter cancelled on me …she was so professional booked a meet and greet right away. She took such good care of my babies (I have three and two are older seniors - and one active puppy!) she took amazing pics and never worried about them she is AMAZING”
“Love that Patricia did a meet and greet prior to our first walk today and my dog immediately fell in love with her. He tends to be a little standoffish with strangers but immediately acted as though they had been friends forever. Patricia walked him today, was kind enough to check on a few things for me, and let me know how he did. I look forward to many more walks with Patricia! Thank you”
About: Over the years I have taken care of so many different kinds of animals. Personally, I’ve had three bunnies, a hamster, a fish and currently have a dog. I’ve learned that pets make life more fun and interesting! I’m currently working part time, so I am available most days. I am usually flexible and I am willing to frequently communicate with you about your pets needs. Pets often have to be at home alone, so I love getting to brighten their day! I think it’s important to give them love and attention because they deserve it and need it!
About: I have had a lot of experience taking care of pets! I live on a farm when I am not at college so I know how much care and love animals need! I just recently got a new puppy and I love to care for him! I am currently a student/athlete at Valparaiso University. My schedule is pretty open and flexible and i’m always open to adjusting when I need to! I don’t not currently have a job so i’m usually available whenever! I love spending time with animals! I am very loving and caring. I enjoy going on walks and getting exercise! I able able to care for any type of dog or cat!
About: I have experience from working at Kennelwood for 2 years and volunteering at the Humane Society. I've always cared and loved for animals and connected to them deeply. I am a college student so most of my freetime is in the afternoons and on weekends. Please understand if I need to study or do homework! I will respect any boundaries you put in your own home. I would be happy to play with your furry friends and make them feel loved even when their owners are gone.
About: I’ve grown up around and taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits and I have a lot of experience taking care of animals at rescues as well. Caring for animals is something that has always been a consistent part of my life. I’m currently in college and apart from babysitting a couple times a week, my schedule is very open and I am super flexible. I’m usually available for a meet and greet same day or next day, and I consistently answer my phone quickly. I go to university in the fall and spring, keeping me close to the area at all times. My schedule is very open, so I will be able to spend adequate time playing with and giving attention to your pet! I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I would treat my own.

About: I have been taking care of dogs of any kind ever since I can remember! I have been working at a local daycare and boarding facility for two years, and have been taking care of neighbor and family dogs for my whole life, I promise to give you an above and beyond experience! ❤️ I work part time at a local daycare and boarding facility, so I have plenty of time on my hands!

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
About: I really enjoy spending time with furry friends and provide a lot of attention and care to them. I am attentive to their behavior and emotional state and communicate everything to owners immediately. My perfect fit would be mature dogs with moderate to low energy levels, that are quiet and like to cuddle. I don't do well with highly anxious dogs but can provide a good level of support to slightly/moderately anxious dogs. I can provide regular exercise in a form of the walk as often as needed but am unable to take the doggy out more often than every 3 hours. About me: I'm quiet, responsible, and easygoing. Don't have visitors often. I like to draw, do something crafty and read! Prefer a quiet environment. My parents live with me too. My dad works full time, but my mom is almost always home. I'm have flexible schedule and often work at home, so your pet won't be left alone very often. And if we do need to leave, it would only be a few hours and I would mention it to the owners to make sure it is okay. I can provide potty breaks every 3-4 hours but prefer dogs that can stay alone without potty break for 4-6 hours just in case. I will do what I can to accommodate your pet's needs! We have double door and I usually a bit anxious about safety and concern about dogs running away. I will also make sure there is nothing unsafe on the floors before pup arrives.
“Sam is amazing! She did a great job taking care of my dogs and let herself available even I needed a sitter last minute. Appreciate her a lot and the love she gave to Olaf and Kirby! Will definitely recommend her to other furparents.”
About: I’ve been a pet lover, especially dogs, my whole life. I’ve had many dogs over the years, small and large breeds. I love them all! I’ve been a teacher for years and am transitioning to retired life. Let me care for your pup while you work. I’m retired from teaching and want something meaningful to do. I love doggies and will help yours stay healthy and happy with frequent walks. Let me help you! I will use your approved leashes or harnesses to keep puppy safe on walks in your area. Dogs will receive walks, supervision and encouragement from me.
