About: I have regularly fostered dogs for the past five years and have worked with over 75 dogs and counting. I have so loved this experience meeting new friends of all breeds, needs, shapes and sizes and would love to meet your pup as well! I have even had the experience and privilege of taking puppies numerous times to the nursing home to meet with residents there, bringing with them their puppy joy and cheer. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help! Our family follows the school schedule during the week day, leaving at 8:15 and arriving home around 3:30pm. If needed, I can allow for one bathroom break mid day. There is a room officially dedicated in our house to the animals that I watch and foster. They would have this room all to themselves for when they come stay (no need to share with other pets!). There are pee pads and litter boxes also available if needed. Please see pictures of the room located under the sitter profile. I also have a crate available and an x pen if your furry friend prefers that. I have a fenced in front and back yard that has been visited and approved by the Humane Society.

“Vixie got so excited when she realized she was going to Jennifer’s this morning. She played so much and enjoyed the crisp fall weather outside. Will continue to have Vixie stay here when possible.”
“This was Cooper’s first time with Lucy and although he was nervous at first that was very short lived! I really appreciated the way Lucy worked to make him feel comfortable before I left. I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself in the videos she sent and when we made it back home he barely made it through the door before passing out! Would highly recommend :)”
“Sarah was outstanding! We were visiting from West Virginia and needed a sitter for our 2 dogs so we could spend the day in St Louis visiting the Arch and going to a Cardinals game. Sarah was the perfect sitter for us. She communicated everything to us and gave us pictures and updates. Her house clean and comfortable for the dogs and a great yard for them to play in. Her dog was friendly towards our dogs especially our little dog. I loved the detailed report she gave us after picking them up. If I am ever visiting St Louis again I would definitely use her again.”
“Ashlie took great care of Rosie! We booked a daycare day with her last minute because our AC went out, and she was so responsive and accommodating! We will definitely be taking Rosie back to her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I only recently, in the past couple of years, started taking care of other people’s pups, and I really enjoy it. I treat all pups as if they were my own. I am retired. I play pickleball quite a bit, but I am never gone more than a few hours at a time. My husband works from home, so there is almost always someone around to accompany your pup. My favorite part of the job is showering pups with love. We have mattresses on the floor and if the pups are willing, we love to snuggle with them. I typically walk them 4 to 6 times a day, depending on the wants/needs of the pup and the weather. I will be sure to check in multiple times daily with you and send photos and videos. I am very quick to respond to messages!
“My puppy is super anxious (recently adopted) and Ruthie was excellent with her. She gave her extra attention and was very soothing. Highly recommend Ruthie for anyone with a nervous pup.”
“Zinaida and her family were wonderful and loving. They took great care of my boys and took them on several walks throughout the day. She also sent me plenty of photos and videos. I also appreciated that she was flexible with time, and accomodated to my last-minute request. I highly recommend her for dog daycare and boarding!!”
“Hailie was super friendly and easy to work with. I had a last minute booking and she worked with me to make it happen. My pups had a great time with her and her family and came home happy and ready to rest! We will be a return customer for sure! Thank you Hailie.”
“Judith was amazing and communicated well throughout the entire process. We felt our dog was in great hands with her and know he was super spoiled. She went above and beyond and sent us daily photo and text updates. We will definitely be booking with Judith again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Jeanne is amazing! I have been bringing Jett to her for a few weeks now and she is so good with him. Not only does she genuinely care about him, she provides regular updates throughout the day and I can see how much fun he is having in her care. He has even developed social skills and is learning new things under her care. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend Jeanne to anyone who needs someone they can trust to take good care of their best friend.”

Between my own dog, my kids, and the dogs I care for, our days revolve around walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles.

About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a teenager for family and friends, and I have grown up with pets for most of my life. I have experience with drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, allergies, and special diet/medication needs. My parents also had a boxer who tends to have lots of scabs and other skin-related ailments so bandages and first aid were common in my house. I’m a freelancer so my schedule varies week by week. My schedule during the weekdays can get pretty full with my regulars and main job. However, I’m always happy to add another furry friend to the calendar! Safety is always my highest priority for any job. I am willing to do what you consider the safest and most comfortable for you and your pet(s). I also want you and your pet(s) to be comfortable when I'm caring for them. A happy dog is the best dog!
“She’s been incredible with my dog Vega. With him being a husky he can sometimes be a handful but the professionalism and communication was outstanding the entire time he was in her care. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”
“Gabby is a wonderful human being. She has been so so great and attentive with our dog BMO. She’s even been proactive and changed the batteries to our door lock when it wasn’t working so she’d be able to get to BMO later in the day. We’ve really appreciated her help and flexibility with our ever changing work schedules. BMO doesn’t warm up easily to people and is very shy, and she is excited to see Gabby every time. Gabby is the best!”
“Chris and Sam were great with our dogs and professional! They were super flexible when it was too hot for the dogs to walk and had excellent communication throughout. I loved getting a video of the dogs mid-walk. We will be booking them for more dog walks and housesitting in the future!”
“Michael has been so great to work with. Always communicates very well, sends photos, and has helped me a lot during my busy schedule. I’d recommend him to anyone!”

As a full-time mom, my daily routine is built around care, attention, and responsibility — the same values I bring to pet care. I'm home throughout the day and evening, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet visits, feedings, medications, playtime, or just some quiet company whenever your pet needs it. My calm, structured home life allows me to give your pet consistent, loving care while still being available for early morning, mid-day, or nighttime visits. Pet care isn’t just a side job — it’s something that fits naturally into my life and brings me joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 14; Dogs, cats, horses, you name it! In recent years, I have pet sat (Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even a bearded dragon!) for 5 different families with regularity, relying on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I took some time off to focus on my full-time job but now I am back to take care of your fur babies! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, and love to learn about each pets needs, quirks, and their favorite spot to be pet! I work as an RN full time 12 hour shifts, typically overnights! If you need a quick walk or drop in visit in the early mornings, mid day, and early evening, I'm your gal! If you need a quick drop in while you are at work or running errands, I'm your gal as well! I do not mind late night drop ins or walks as well, I am pretty flexible for walks and drop ins throughout the day if I’m not working at the hospital or studying at school. I love to walk parks and hike through trails, and your dog can come along for the ride anytime!! I am always very respectful of boundaries and client's homes. I will care for your pets just as you would, providing them with as much attention and love they desire! I am always respectful of your pets boundaries as well, and will never put them in a stressful situation. I currently live in an apartment that only allows cats, and I have one kitty cat named Booker. I am a nursing student and I study quite a bit. If your pet needs a person who can chill and keep them company, I can 100% provide that! If your pet needs someone to play and run around with, I can 100% provide that as well! If your pet has medical administration needs, I have experience with this as well. One family that I pet sat regularly for had a kitty who needed insulin via injection two times a day, another had a pupper that needed two pills at morning and evening feedings. I am always punctual with medicine times and I follow instructions very closely.
