“Jordan was great! She sent multiple videos and pics of Theo, and he looked extremely happy and well looked after in every single one! I’m so appreciative of how much attention she gave to him, and I look forward to using her again in the future!”
“We were a little nervous because we hadn’t boarded our oldest, Spark Plug, with a stranger before. But Jennifer’s house was the perfect place for him while we were gone. From the many photos, videos and written updates that we received (and very much appreciated), it looks like both of our dogs had a blast playing in Jennifer’s backyard and napping on her couch. Jennifer’s confidence and easy going attitude also helped put us at ease when we dropped our dogs off at the beginning of our vacation. Thank you!”

“SO HAPPY we found Karen to take care of our dog while we were away! She is wonderful and took excellent care of Peanut! During our trip, we received texts with photos and nice comments. We really hope that Karen will be available next time we are away, because we will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”

“Mary was an excellent dogsitter for our old little man❤️ this was our first time working with Mary, but we are sure to come back!! Our dog is a sweetheart, but definitely has a lot of particular needs that Mary was willing to accommodate and work with. Mary sent us updates throughout the week we were gone and it made us feel at ease seeing him at ease with her. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing loving and accomodating dog boarding care here in St Louis.”

“Our cats are not typically social, however Lisa is constantly sharing pictures of them playing and wanting pets. Lisa has always been very flexible with us and available on short notice.”
“Sydney you did such an amazing job from day one. The girls didn’t have get to know you. You had their heart from day 1. We did so good with knowing they were in great hands. You gave me all the info I was looking for and sent better pics than I have been able to get. Will use again for sure.”
“Emma has been absolutely amazing so far! She is taking care of our two Siberian kitties and treating them as if they were her own. She sends us pics and reports. We are in the hospital having our first baby and she had made leaving our kitty babies at home so much easier. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her in the future for any cat care needs!”
“Murphy took to Jolene the minute she sat down for our Meet & Greet. That's a rare response for him as he's usually shy about meeting new people. I could see from the photos she so kindly sent me while I was away, that they became friends right away. Jolene was also very accommodating as I realized a slight change to our schedule would work better for me. She didn't hesitate when I asked her to modify the plan a bit at the last minute. It's an enormous relief to know that when I do need to leave my goofy cat again, there's already someone out there who 'gets him, and cares about his well being. I can highly recommend Jolene if you are looking for a reliable, gracious, thoughtful, pet sitter. I myself plan to call on her again the next time I need to go out of town.”
“Mikayla was great! Followed instructions well and went above and beyond in playing with my cats! My kitties seemed very happy in all of the pictures she took. I would definitely book again”
“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!!!!!!”
“Hope took wonderful care of our two kitties over Spring Break! She sent regular updates with videos of playtime and communicated everything we needed to know so we could just relax & enjoy vacation. She is awesome.”
“Natalie did a wonderful job watching our cats while we were out of the country for a week. She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of pictures and video. Our house was left in perfect shape and I know the kitties enjoyed hanging out with her!”
“Cannot say enough great things about Haley. She followed all of the directions extremely well, took great care of Theo and went above and beyond to stimulate him during their outings. Highly recommend!”
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
About: I have had animals in my house since I was a child. My cats act more like dogs and love to play and have fun yet they can still be calm and cuddly. I would love to create memories with your pets as well! I currenlty spend 3 days working from and can be there for your pet when they need me. They are also able to keep me company as I watch movies or binge tv shows. They are always allowed a cuddle to sleep or a cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced in yard but can also have your dog leashed and taken on a walk or tethered in the yard. They will always have access to food and water and are fed on whatever schedule you would like them to be fed on. Playtime is also my favorite. I have a lot of open space in my home and have a room where they would be able to go if they prefer to not be around other animals.
“My kitty passed a few and Brenda did such a wonderful job with her that I knew I could trust her with my new kitty! She takes such good care of them and goes above and beyond by bringing in some packages that were left on my porch. Definitely recommend!”
“My second time working with Alexandra. She's always prompt and accommodating. And my little babies like to play with her. It took one of them a little bit of time to warm up... Cats... But now she probably won't be able to keep them off of her lol Thank you”
“Once again, Tara was an excellent pet sitter while I was away! Her communication is wonderful and she always leaves detailed descriptions and lots of super cute pictures of my babies (: I will definitely be booking with her again as my regular cat sitter!”
“Karen is awesome and I highly recommend her. She did everything we asked and more which gave us peace of mind while out of town. We will certainly use her services again and recommend her to anyone who is in need of such services. Rover rocks...”

About: I have cared for pets throughout my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ducks, and cockatiels. While I am allergic to cats, I love them and keep cat food available for the neighborhood strays. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable meeting your pet at whatever stage of life they are in. I will provide you with updates on how your pet is doing at least once a day, including a photo and a message. Of course, you are also welcome to check in at any time. Please rest assured, your pet will be well taken care of and living their best life. I work in marketing for the pet industry, which enables me to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. I am a morning person, so taking a walk in the morning is often more enjoyable for me than for the dogs. I strive to be attentive to the well-being of pets both inside and outside, focusing on their nutrition, training, socialization, and overall care. I have two 10-lb Goldendoodles, Pepita and Miso, who are very social and have a nurturing yet playful spirit. We prefer to care for one dog at a time, as we believe this provides a better experience for both the pet and the owner. Our goal is to prioritize the best interests of your pet, recognizing that each pet has unique needs and requires individual attention and care while their loved ones are away.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 6 from my personal pets to my aunts or neighbors I’ve always cared for and adored animals. Caring for pets isn’t just “checking in” to me — it’s making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood while you’re away. I specialize in working with cats (especially shy, anxious, or independent ones who don’t warm up to everyone), but I also provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. With my background as a licensed pharmacy technician, I bring an extra level of attention to detail when it comes to medications, routines, and noticing small changes in behavior. Whether your pet needs basic care or a little extra support, I’ve got it covered. I also keep a small pet supply inventory on hand — so if you’re busy or forget something (food, litter, treats, etc.), I can help without it turning into a stressful situation. You’ll always get consistent updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, structure, and a lot of love. I am currently a stay at home mom, so your pets can get most of my undivided attention from me and my daughter who also adores animals. I do not have a fenced yard, but i have a big back and front yard definitely enough space for any pet to enjoy! I let my daughter play out there while I watch.
“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I've had pets my entire life. Im the person who saves all the neighborhood kitties. I'm comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. I would love to help care for your fur babies!! I have a very open schedule and am available most days and times. Please feel free to contact me I am available on short notice. I would currently prefer to come to clients homes not care for pets in my home i have lots of animals at my own home.
“AJ was great with our dogs Gus and Macey. Macey was very apprehensive when we first left but AJ gave her space and was patient and she warmed up to her and her family after about 20 minutes. Gus and Macey seemed to enjoy their time with AJ.”
“Hallie took care of my doggo one day while it stormed really bad and there were tornado touchdowns close and she was great about keeping me up to date on how he was doing and that they were safe.”
About: Your pets deserve a safe, enriching, and loving environment while you’re away. I have completed extensive education in professional pet care through the Fear Free® program and the International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA), with training focused on canine behavior, safe group play, boarding and daycare management, health monitoring, enrichment, and handling dogs of all personalities. As the owner of an insured LLC with years of hands-on experience, I prioritize every dog’s physical safety, emotional well-being, and individual needs. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I tailor each day to help them feel comfortable, confident, and happy. If you’re looking for someone who is active, dependable, and truly passionate about dogs, you’ve found the right person. Every stay includes walks, engaging games, mental enrichment, and positive reinforcement-based interactions designed to keep your dog both physically exercised and mentally stimulated. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Pet sitting is my full-time career, so caring for dogs is my daily routine—not something I fit in around another job. My days are dedicated to providing consistent care, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of love and attention to every dog in my care. I customize my care based on each dog’s personality, routine, and needs. After working at a dog daycare, I learned that I strongly prefer small, carefully managed groups over large daycare environments. Smaller groups allow for closer supervision, less stress, and a safer, healthier experience for every dog. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat them like family. We enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment activities, rest, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I also reinforce good manners using positive reinforcement, helping dogs build confidence while having fun. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine.

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and 3 years with dogs. I trained my dog when he was a puppy, rescued stray cats and helped a lost dog find a new home. Also introduce my second cat who is a strayed cat to my first cat. I’m currently in my gap year so I have lots of time to caring your cat or dogs (also puppy!) Pet care fits into my daily routine as I enjoy spending time training, feeding, and playing with them. Boarding pets will have their own bedroom, and share the living room with/without resident cats depending on how they get along. I have a safe environment at home. There’s no child in home. Additionally, I have experience with pet training and caring for both rescueds and domestic pets. I ensure a loving and secure atmosphere for your furry companions.

“Maxwell is great! He’s always on time and goes above and beyond every visit. It’s a huge relief knowing Maxwell takes such good care of my dog while I’m stuck at work. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

“Sarah went above and beyond and notified me of a leak in my kitchen when she came to walk my dog. Without her prompt attention the water would’ve continued flowing for several more hours!”
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.
“Sarah was AMAZING. We had a spontaneous day trip the pups couldn’t join, and Sarah fit them in her schedule last minute! She made time to meet them while we were home so we were all more comfortable. My timid baby hid in his bed and almost refused any walks, water, or food. Sarah was patient and knowledgeable, and was able to coerce him out and appropriately rewarded him. Her care, communication, and adorable pictures kept us from worrying about leaving our babies overnight. HIGHLY recommend!”
