“Francie took great care of my dogs. Very flexible about pickup and dropoff of my dogs. Very good communication beforehand and during the stay. I will definitely ask Francie to take care of my dogs next time.”


“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”

“I'm so grateful to have found Cynthia. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter - they're the best!”

“I'm so thankful to have found such a kind and loving family to watch our dog, Eevee, while we were out of town. They cared for her like she was one of their own pets. She got lots of exercise and had fun with them in their nice backyard and in the park right by their house! Thank you for the daily videos, pictures and updates. It really put my mind at ease knowing she was so happy. We will definitely will rebook with them again in the future!”

“I don't know how she does it but she was awesome. How she cared for so many dogs at once was pretty impressive. Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”

“Lauren was incredibly friendly and took great care of Comet. He seemed to really enjoy his stay and came back happy. Thank you Lauren for being so flexible and for watching Comet!”

“Cait and her family have taken such great care of Teddy a few times now. We know he has a blast there with their sweet pup Honey and is given lots of love. Cait is great with communication and always sends daily updates.”

“Thank you, Jennifer for taking great care of Molly and Bailey! I really appreciate all the pictures and updates, and it is obvious you gave them a lot of love and care while we were out of town. Great job!”

“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”


“Can’t recommend enough. While on vacation, or baby girl got to be on vacation too. Absolutely lovely family and even lovelier care givers for your furry friend.”

“Katie was so great and accommodating to my last minute request when another sitter left me stranded 2 days before giving birth. My Remy had a great time with her and her family!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2008. I taught our miniature pincer and chihuahua mix named Rosie how to sit, jump, and rollover. My present-day dog named Bunny, she is the sweetest dog in town. I’ve taught her how to low-five for treats, lay on my legs during Sunday naps, and keep to herself on walks (she’s a very social dog). Wake up, let the dog(s) out, feed them breakfast, and wipe their feet if it is muddy out. Let them out during lunch and feed them lunch, then let them out again after work (4pm). Feed them dinner, then let them out again around 9pm before bed. I work from home full-time, so these tasks are consistently met. In my own home, I stick to the schedule outlined above. In somebody else’s home, I would also stick to a schedule that has been provided by the owner.
“We are so thankful to have found Melanie! We had 3 sitters that we have used prior, decline to watch Mickey because of other commitments so I searched for someone new and met Melanie. Our initial meet and greet went very well so I felt completely comfortable booking with Melanie. While we were on our trip, she sent us pictures and updates and even gave him a bath for us during his stay with her. She is wonderful and loved our little guy as if he were hers which we really appreciate!”

“Gustavo is wonderful pet sitter, he sends lots of pictures and really cares about your pet. Molly was excited when we walked in for our second booking, which is a sign for me that she is comfortable with her surroundings.”

“Rachel, Katee and their family were so welcoming to our sweet Kiya! This was the longest trip we’ve been on without her and I felt so much ease knowing they were taking care and loving on her like she was their own. They sent updates everyday and lots of pictures! She loved getting to play with their dog, Rudy and their daughter. We would definitely book with them again!”


“Kelsey always does an incredible job with updates and pictures throughout the stay for my golden retrievers, and took a last minute booking with a smile, I’d absolutely recommend her to anybody who needs somebody to do a great job for them and their furry babies!”

“Bonnie is fantastic!! She cared for my 2 senior cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. She provided detailed & entertaining updates at each visit along with lots of photos. 🥰 She brought in my mail & even cleaned up around the litter boxes & food bowls. I would highly recommend her to any pet parents & she will be my go-to for anytime I’m in need of care for my cats when I travel!!”


“Absolutely great! Super friendly, understanding, flexible and the cutest fur baby! So grateful to have had her and making this vacation less stressful for us as we've never had a dog sitter before. The pictures were the best addition as well, thanks a million! Will ask for you again and recommend you highly by name.”


“Cynthia stayed with Scout for a week while we were on vacation. I have never come back from travel to a more relaxed cat - he was happy we were home, but he clearly loved all the individual attention from Cynthia.”

“Haley took great care of Bia. She was easy to communicate with, easygoing and hit it off with Bia the instant they met. I felt totally confident that Bia was in good hands with Haley!”

“Taylor took great care of our 2 kitties while we were away! Knowing someone is looking after them when we are not here was a huge stress reliever... Even if they just hide the whole time 😊”


“Cats are happy and calm upon our return, which is always a sign of a good sitting experience. Everything seems in order. Will be booking again next time we need a sitter!”


About: I love all animals and have experience pet sitting dogs of all breeds and ages, cats, reptiles, rodents, & birds. I am also experienced giving medicine, insulin shots, and special diets. I have previously volunteered at the humane society, APA, and wildlife center of MO as well. I'm excited for the opportunity to get to know your pet!
About: My experience in pet care is broad and customized to each animal's specific requirements. I have experience working with older pets, adult dogs, and puppies, so I have a comprehensive understanding of their unique needs regarding care. I am different from other sitters because I take a different approach to establishing comfort and trust. I place a high priority on positive reinforcement methods, particularly for puppies, as it helps them learn important commands while making sure they have fun. I concentrate on the unique medical requirements of elderly pets, such as managing medicines and addressing mobility issues. I work hard to provide every pet in my care a loving environment, whether it means attending to their specific nutritional needs, exercise requirements, or affection. I work flex at Amazon so my schedule is pretty open. Just tell me what days you need me and I’ll do my best to accommodate for that. I take the time to learn about the unique personality and preferences of each pet, which makes them feel more at ease. I am open in my communication with pet owners about their unique habits and any worries they may have.
“They did a super good job taking care of our 2 kitties! They were able to work with our house's security system and did a great job following directions and communicating with us.”


“Rebekah did an amazing job with our cats, we're so glad we found her! She connected with them so fast, it was impressive, specially with my shy cat, she won them both over and manage to gain their trust since day one, even our shy cat came out of his hiding spot to get treats which is sooooo rare with new people, the updates were amazing, she left everything so nice and clean, she took such good care of my babies, makes being away way easier. We appreciate you Rebekah! Will definitely recommend.”


“I came home to a happy and healthy kitty!!!!!! Taylor was very easy to communicate with and it was so great to know my cat was being taken great care of while I was away!!!!!!”


About: I have owned cats my entire life. I've had some that had litters and given me grand kid kittens. My cats are my children. I have enjoyed the company they provide. The mystical energy they give is unique, makes you want to learn more about the curiosity behind a cat. I have more pictures of my cats, more than family, friends, or myself
“Taylor was soo sweet and attentive to our kitty while we were gone. She was great at communicating any schedule changes and left a detailed review of her visits, along with some cute pictures of our cat. I would definitely recommend her for your future pet-sitter needs!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Champ

“Fran has been absolutely amazing with my little guy, Archie!! She is amazingly flexible and has gone out of her way to provide good care for him and to help me with my crazy work schedule! I highly recommend her!!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs every step of the way. After saying goodbye to my own beloved dog of 12 years about a year and a half ago, I’m not quite ready for another full-time pet, but I love spending time with dogs and regularly care for friends’ and family’s pups. I also grew up around horses, where I learned responsibility, animal behavior, and basic first aid and medical care. My home is a quiet, one-story ranch with a fully fenced backyard, no other pets, and plenty of space for dogs to relax and play. I work from home two days a week and am committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment with lots of attention, updates, and affection so you can feel confident while you’re away. I have a consistent weekly routine and work in the office Monday–Wednesday and from home Thursday–Friday. My schedule is predictable, which helps dogs settle in and feel comfortable. While I occasionally have weekend plans, I plan my schedule around my bookings and make sure the pets in my care receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, one-story home with a fully fenced backyard and no other pets, allowing me to provide individualized care and attention. I can easily limit access to different areas of the house if needed, creating a safe environment for dogs with different personalities or energy levels. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Lots of communication and updates, Mango got along well with their dog, Sable, as well. Daycare card was very informative and everything was taken care of for Mango. Would highly recommend.”
“My pup did daycare with Raini for 2 days. Everything went great and he was a happy pup! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs and she sent lots of pictures and videos. This was our first experience using Rover and it was a good one.”

About: I took many online classes on proper safety for boarding/ daycare with multiple dogs. You want someone active and fun, who loves dogs unconditionally? I'm your gal. Walks, games, positive reinforcement training and mental exercise are all included in my time. I'm a creature of routine. My house gets up at 6am sharp. We like structure and in the dog world, you can't function without it. I used to work for a dog daycare and because I feel so strongly about the safety of dogs, I'd prefer small, safe groups over large groups that are no good for your dogs health. I treat your dogs like my kids. We play together, take naps together, get some exercise and I even like to teach good habits with positive reinforcement! Dogs are my best friends.

“Summer had Bella for daycare as an introduction before boarding for the first time. They did a wonderful job with making Bella feel at home and making me feel totally comfortable with leaving her in their care. Fantastic communication, with messages and pictures sent throughout the day. So happy to have found Summer and her family!”

“Miss Lauren was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to her first time spent with Owen. She came to meet us first so she could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. I appreciate the care Miss Lauren provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with her. I look forward to having her watch Owen again.”

About: In-home insured training, boarding, and daycare business with 10+ years of professional experience with dogs, from working at a shelter, fostering dogs, vet tech experience, training in a commercial kennel, and running my own training business. I am home most days full time, however some days I leave for 2-3 hours for private training clients, in that time all dogs are kenneled or otherwise contained for safety. The dogs have over a quarter acre fenced in yard to enjoy. I do regular activities, enrichment, and occasional field trips to ensure your pup has a vacation as great as your's while you're gone. All my time is dedicated to caring for, playing with, and hanging out with the dogs. I utilize gates and different rooms to separate dogs out to ensure that they are paired up not just as dogs who tolerates one another, but as dogs who truly enjoy one another's company and thrive together. I require all dogs be crate trained for safety at night, meals, and when I have private training clients at the house.
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“Kristin really saved the day with her flexibility after we needed to change care for Lola on short notice. Lola had a blast and came home exhausted after playing with the other dogs”

About: I started taking care of dogs since I was 20 years old. I started taking care of my friends and family dogs, I gain experience with them at first, then I kept growing up learning with each doggie, you have to be emotionally prepare for them, I'm sure I developed was is required for their cares. I work from home, so I want to start specifically walks an Drop-off sevices in my spare time, but I'll have a flexible schedule and convenient for each customer need. I have a a fenced backyard in case I had to board or take care of a doggie during the day. So your dog can feel comfortable and have play time during the day.

“Kasey has taken such wonderful care of Xena. She even provides pictures and updates throughout the day, which is so helpful for keeping tabs on how my senior girl is doing and eating. Xena loves playing with Jolene and hanging out in the backyard, and gets to come home stress-free and tired from a good day of lower energy and much safer fun than a big daycare. Thank you, Kasey!”

About: I currently work at a Dogtopia location part time, but I have had dogs, cats, and horses my entire life. I can work with any animal and take care of any animal you need me to take care of. I have also house sat for family and friends over the past few years that have dogs, chickens, cats, and horses. Im currently working part time at a doggy day care and would have more than enough time to walk, bathe, and take care of dogs either before shifts if I have an evening shift, before some of my morning shifts if I'm allowed in for early mornings, or after my shifts if I have a morning shift I have a fenced in yard and a very animal friendly dog who like to make friends with any animal he can. My dog typically comes to work with me and then hangs out and naps at home while I take care of house hold jobs.

About: Animals have been my life since I was a child. Watching my mom take care of dogs at the local shelters and every animal she had taken care of in my childhood has left wonderful memories. Spending time with animals was always amazing because they felt more a part of the family. I’ve taken care of friends and family animals, and made wonderful bonds with them. I see my own pets as more than just animals, but as my own children and any pet that I take care of that’s not mine I treat as if they are. I recently moved to this state so currently this will be my only occupation until I find something else. Then I'll be part time care. always check in for any health and food necessities. Check and see if they are an indoor or outdoor animal to be more prepared for walks.
About: I've had dogs growing up, currently have 2 dogs back home and my roommate has a cat here in my dorm. I love both and have walked my older dog since I was a little kid. I am a full time student but am always looking for things to do between, before or after classes. I'd be sure to be avaliable weekends and any days I don't have class. I can always go visit to take care of your animal(s), while I cannot offer assistance in my residence, I will always help out by walking or making frequent visits.

About: I love all animals and have experience pet sitting dogs of all breeds and ages, cats, reptiles, rodents, & birds. I am also experienced giving medicine, insulin shots, and special diets. I have previously volunteered at the humane society, APA, and wildlife center of MO as well. I'm excited for the opportunity to get to know your pet! I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible. I would love to spend time playing with your pets while keeping them on their usual schedule! I will be able to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I am more than happy to follow any instructions you may have to keep your pet on schedule and comfortable while you're away!
“Julianna was so wonderful! She came for a meet and greet and followed all instructions for our dogs walk. She is so sweet, respectful, and you can tell she has a love for pets! We will definitely be using her again😊 thanks Julianna!”


About: I've always had dogs. I unexpectedly lost one of our furry companions and I have an empty yard and dog safe household. I loved walking my dog, I would love to walk yours. I'm in a season of availability to care for a few extra pups for anyone who needs it. I have a big yard with lots of shade and sunny spots. Just a little York terrier next door. I'll walk as much as needed to get the dog(s) tired and fed whatever diet is needed. I have a 4 ft chain link fenced backyard with a latching gate, a little Yorky next door who is all bark and no bite, named Salvy, he's friendly. He only comes out a few time a day. Easily avoided if necessary.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors always looked to me as a trustworthy caretaker. Even when I moved to a new state on my own, I was able to build a consistent clientele that could always count on me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding center for 3 years, became certified to groom dogs, done baths, nails, walks, and stayed at people’s homes (including boats)! I am currently working on training my own dog. I begin my work day early in the morning and am done by 11:30am or 1pm, which leaves lots of time to care for your pet! My days off are Friday/Saturday and only work for 3 hours Sunday morning. I cannot take in your pet at my home, as I have my own furry friend who strongly values his personal space. At your home, I can do whatever is needed!
“Haley was great with my dog! She asked great questions to get to know her beforehand and was very knowledgeable about bigger dogs. I will definitely have her come back!”


About: As a life-long Beagle owner and pet sitter for my friends and family, I am very experienced when it comes to taking care of animals, especially dogs. I understand that each personality is different… my Beagle, Ron, has a big one in a small body! A good pet sitter knows how to adapt to all the needs of each animal, and I am so excited for the opportunity to do that for your furry family member! As a teacher, I have very open availability in the summer and love to help people out while they go on vacation! Once the school year rolls around, I am booked and busy, but still love to look for opportunities on breaks or long weekends! I make sure to first build a trusting relationship with each pet and always follow whatever instructions left by the owner because I know they’re in place for a reason! As an owner of an escape artist, I take extra care monitoring animals when outside, even if it is just in the backyard.
About: Dogs have always been an intricate part of my life since I can remember. The bond that I build with dogs is one of a kind. I will care for your pupper as if he/she is family. I have trained all of my dogs to learn 10+ tricks and have taken care of puppies to elderly dogs that need medication. I’m attentive to all needs and we will have lots of play time, no worries there. I did have two years of rover experience as you will see in my photos but after taking a break I sadly had to create a new profile. All my dog parents were pleased and repeat customers. Even a few puppers didn’t want to leave. :) My house becomes your puppers vacation spot. I do require a house visit in my home prior to a committed booking to make sure that we all are a good fit and comfortable. I work a flexible schedule as I can make it what I want all 7days of the week. No need to worry about your pupper no getting loving attention. I have a spacious home and yard that is fenced. Your pupper will be safe and have lots of space to run and play. I am able to meet all crating needs and allow your pupper the place to have a safe doggy vacation.

About: I have lots of time to tire out your dog! I love taking walks and playing in our fenced-in backyard. I have a black lab named Jolene and she loves loves loves doggie play dates. I have lots of space for your doggo to explore and chill out. I walk my dog daily and we love to play in the yard. I have time to play and throw the ball dozens of times. My dog is by my side all day and yours will be too! I am happy to let your dog roam in the house and can crate if you'd prefer. My dog is house-trained and comfortable sleeping on her own bed.

About: All my life, I grew up with animals. At one point, I even had goats, horses, and even pigs! Growing up animals were a big part of my life, and and they still are to this day! Though I have recently moved, I had 9 dogs, all of which were rescues from shelters, I am very affectionate and engaging with pets. I have experience working with pets in the past. I even have experience in medicating animals, as I have given dogs parvo shots, and even medicated a diabetic cat. I am flexible with my times, and I love all dogs of any shape or size. I have direct experience with animals in a ton of different environments, and right now I even have two dogs of my own! Pets are my passion and just know any fur babies under my care will be loved and cared for! I am pretty flexible right now with my time due to being self-employed, so I am willing to work with your schedule and needs for your pet! My pets receive lots of love and attention. I typically feed my own pets twice a day, and both my pets are potty trained, so they are taken out whenever they ask, or before an extended period when I am not home. That being said, I am happy to accommodate for the needs of your own pet for feeding and potty habits!
About: Fortunately, I was born into an animal loving family so I was blessed to have and care for animals of all kinds. Includes but not limited too: hermit crabs, gerbils, fish and more. Since birth I’ve been fascinated about learning how to care for all animals especially mammals/dogs. I truly believe that dogs are a humans best friend and I’ve been potty training, house training, walk training and more since having my first fur baby Tyra (full blooded German Sheppard) at the age of 12 who just passed this last year. I’ve been rescuing animals since I can remember and I’ve been volunteering at shelters and in the community since middle school. Pets are truly my passion & I believe in caring for those who are sometimes unable to care for themselves. If God grants me the opportunity, I would be more than honored and grateful to care for your fur baby as well. Thank you for your time & consideration. Fortunately, I was blessed with a work from home job so I can give most of my time, attention & affection to the fur babies I need. With my own fur baby and when I baby sit others we stick to our schedule and routine throughout the day so they can be physically enriched and mentally stimulated; such as but not limited too 4-6 times of walking, a kiddie pool on hotter days, fruit and or peanut butter treats, new toys and more depending on the specific needs of your fur babies. Thank you for your time & consideration. Regardless of the environment pets are my passion and I will treat your fur babies like my own. Depending on the specific needs I’ll be more than happy to provide extra play time, extra treats or toys depending on trainings such as potty training or walk training so your pup no longer pulls you while you walk. I also don’t mind providing bath time, medications or even taking your pup to the vet or their favorite park for a pup play date. Lastly, I will be sure to provide hourly and or daily checkups so you can relax, unwind and have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy and is in blessed and gentle hands. Thank you for your time & consideration.

About: I've lived with pets my entire life, including my own pets and foster pets. I have training with puppies as well as senior dogs, and I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I am additionally familiar with dogs with territorial issues, as well as ones with discomfort in regards to other humans or other dogs. I have been pet sitting for the past 4 years, and I have experience with taking care of many dogs at once. I will be working part-time at a children's daycare over the summer. My hours there in June will be 1:30pm-4:45pm, and in July they will be 1:30-5pm, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I am completely free on the weekends, which opens up even more time for the best care I can provide. I will prefer to care for pets in their own home rather than mine. I am familiar and comfortable with all approaches of care, such as crating or free-roaming depending on request! I am comfortable and willing to help with play time, walks, accident clean-up, feeding, and more.
About: Hello! I have grown up around dogs my whole life! From a Shih Tzu to a Boxer to my newly adopted puppy, a Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, Goose!

“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”

“I'm so grateful to have found Cynthia. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter - they're the best!”

“I don't know how she does it but she was awesome. How she cared for so many dogs at once was pretty impressive. Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”

“Lauren was incredibly friendly and took great care of Comet. He seemed to really enjoy his stay and came back happy. Thank you Lauren for being so flexible and for watching Comet!”

“Cait and her family have taken such great care of Teddy a few times now. We know he has a blast there with their sweet pup Honey and is given lots of love. Cait is great with communication and always sends daily updates.”


“Can’t recommend enough. While on vacation, or baby girl got to be on vacation too. Absolutely lovely family and even lovelier care givers for your furry friend.”

“Katie was so great and accommodating to my last minute request when another sitter left me stranded 2 days before giving birth. My Remy had a great time with her and her family!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2008. I taught our miniature pincer and chihuahua mix named Rosie how to sit, jump, and rollover. My present-day dog named Bunny, she is the sweetest dog in town. I’ve taught her how to low-five for treats, lay on my legs during Sunday naps, and keep to herself on walks (she’s a very social dog). Wake up, let the dog(s) out, feed them breakfast, and wipe their feet if it is muddy out. Let them out during lunch and feed them lunch, then let them out again after work (4pm). Feed them dinner, then let them out again around 9pm before bed. I work from home full-time, so these tasks are consistently met. In my own home, I stick to the schedule outlined above. In somebody else’s home, I would also stick to a schedule that has been provided by the owner.
“Rachel, Katee and their family were so welcoming to our sweet Kiya! This was the longest trip we’ve been on without her and I felt so much ease knowing they were taking care and loving on her like she was their own. They sent updates everyday and lots of pictures! She loved getting to play with their dog, Rudy and their daughter. We would definitely book with them again!”


“Kelsey always does an incredible job with updates and pictures throughout the stay for my golden retrievers, and took a last minute booking with a smile, I’d absolutely recommend her to anybody who needs somebody to do a great job for them and their furry babies!”


“Highly recommend Michael. I appreciate that he met my dog, a Corgi named Oliver, before the stay to make sure he was a good fit. It's good to know he takes the extra step to make sure the stay will go well by meeting the dog before. Oliver strained his back a couple of weeks before his stay and needed a pills three times a day, which Michael administered. And I loved getting pics and a video of Oliver playing texted to me! His location in Maryland Heights is quite convenient to the airport.”

“Linda and Dwight are absolutely wonderful! Our pup had a harder than usual time adjusting the first night and they were so patient with him. Next thing you know he thought of them as his second home! I also sincerely appreciated the updates and pictures. Could not recommend them more!”


“We’ve booked with Summer now for both day care and boarding and can’t recommend her enough! She is so communicative and goes above and beyond to entertain your dog and send updates. We even had some return flight timing issues and had to coordinate a friend to pick up our dog and Summer was so flexible and understanding with us.”

About: In-home insured training, boarding, and daycare business with 10+ years of professional experience with dogs, from working at a shelter, fostering dogs, vet tech experience, training in a commercial kennel, and running my own training business. I am home most days full time, however some days I leave for 2-3 hours for private training clients, in that time all dogs are kenneled or otherwise contained for safety. The dogs have over a quarter acre fenced in yard to enjoy. I do regular activities, enrichment, and occasional field trips to ensure your pup has a vacation as great as your's while you're gone. All my time is dedicated to caring for, playing with, and hanging out with the dogs. I utilize gates and different rooms to separate dogs out to ensure that they are paired up not just as dogs who tolerates one another, but as dogs who truly enjoy one another's company and thrive together. I require all dogs be crate trained for safety at night, meals, and when I have private training clients at the house.
“My ChiChi felt so at home and so loved! Pictures were sent often. I love pet sitters that are actually PET LOVERS! I will use Ivy again and again! And an added bonus, very close to the airport.”

“Brandon did great with Bailey! I could tell she really had fun. Met her bestyyy ZZ and was pretty bummed about going home as soon as we put her in the car😆 won’t stop whining as soon as we got home. Will definitely book brandon again! Real soon.”

“Annie and Michael were the perfect sitters for us. We had an extended board at their home and were a little nervous as our Great Pyrenees had never boarded for this length of stay. Also, we had some medication that needed to be given with little notice. No Worries! Annie was calm and communicative and her three boys were loving with our big doggie. Lots of cute photos and instance response. Thank you so very much for your care!”
