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.
“Madeline offered great care for Wilbur, who we were nervous to leave for 8 days while we traveled out of the country! Every step of the way, Madeline was exceptionally communicative, flexible and caring for our pup. She kept us updated daily with photos and news about how Wilbur was doing. She also reached out when she had questions or if something seemed off. We had a good sense of how he was doing and felt confident knowing that he was warming up to Walt and Luna, the other dog Madeline was sitting for during the week. Wilbur was excited to come home and see us, but we would never hesitate to trust Madeline to watch him again!”
“Julia took great care of Nixon! It seemed like he really liked her and he became super comfortable around her when he stayed at her place! Will definitely book again with Julia if I go out of town again!”
“Reba loved my mini pitbull Zoey!! She has a st.patricks themed Photo Booth that she set up for all the pups and she made my pup the cutest bandana to wear in her photo shoot. Like this is ABOVE and beyond. My Zoey loves to cuddle and she even let Zoey sleep with her since it made Zoey more comfortable.”
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“Sophia did such a great job caring for my Franklin. He had the best weekend going for walks and playing fetch in her fenced in yard! Sophia was great with communication and so easy to work with!”
“Walter and Maddie provided the best care to Roxy! They are very communicative and flexible. Roxy is definitely looking forward to another cozy stay. ☺️”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“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.”
About: I grew up with a dog and helped care for various family members pets. I cared for my roommates dog in undergrad and law school. More recently I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for sister when she’s vacationing. I have love and affection for all animals. Most of experience is with older or rescue dogs but I would enjoy taking care of puppies and cats! I am currently working full-time (Mon - Fri 8am to 5pm) but will soon transition to part-time work. I work 5 minutes from my job so I can come home midday for potty breaks and walks when boarding. My weekends are completely open! My condo building has a fenced in dog park and gated parking lot with grassy areas. My unit is on the first floor with a door to the outside. No elevator or stairs required. I live in walking distance to Lafayette Square Park for longer dog walks.
“I absolutely would recommend Jayde to ANY and EVERYONE! She was so good with my doggy. She shared pictures with an update every single night. She even got to sleep in Jayde's bed! Jayde honestly treated my baby like she was her own. She was honestly fabulous. I would use her 100 times over, if I ever need another dog sitter she will definitely be who I use! (if I could give her 10 stars I would)”
“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”
“Jennifer is amazing in taking care of our cats throughout the years. She and her colleagues take great care of our fur babies when we are away for several days. I highly recommend her to be your cat sitter.”

“Uğar was great! He was super reliable - our cat seemed very happy with his visits. He sent several photos each day along with a detailed report of what he did/noticed. My cat tends to be skittish around new people but he appeared to warm up to Uğar pretty quickly which was awesome! Leaving my cat behind for the holidays was less stressful knowing that he was getting great care. Not to mention that Uğar was great to talk to and very communicative! I had to add on an extra day last minute and he was flexible with that. He was also very understanding and patient when I had messed something up on my end. I highly recommend booking with him - I definitely will again in the future!”
“We are so grateful for Stephen! Our cat loves him and he always goes above and beyond. We can always feel confident that she is in great hands when we are out of town; I think she looks forward to it!”
“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.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing with our 3 kitties! We loved all the photos. One of our cats is picky on who he lets cuddle/pick him up, but Abby won him over. Thank you Abby!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog person — there’s never been a time in my life without one! These days, my chocolate lab is enjoying his well-earned retirement (walks are officially off his agenda), which means I have all this love and energy to give. I would absolutely love to be your dog’s favorite part of the day! I currently work full time, as a hybrid employee so I’m working for home at least two days for home with a flexible schedule. That gives me plenty of time to walk your dog or check in on them. For drop in visits and dog walking, I would follow your request for your dogs needs. At this time, I am not doing overnight stays
“Julia was wonderful! She took great care of my 2 cats and even brought fun new toys for them to play with during her visits. I came home to happy kitties and will definitely request her again 😻”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a child. Growing up we always had at least 6 cats around the house. Friends and neighbors have witnessed my love for cats and have relied on me to care for their kitties while they are away. They deserve just as much love while you're away as dogs do.
“So thankful to Jenn for watching our cats during our long trip! I was worried to leave them alone for 8 days, but Jenn was very responsive and took great care of them, making sure to play with them and give them affection. Would be glad to work with her again.”
“Jacqueline was great with Momo! She was quick to respond to my messages over the holidays and attentive when following Momo’s specific meal routine.”
“Caitlin was fantastic. She was very flexible and worked with me to pick up Tater Tot from my apartment. She sent tons of pictures and updates. I was very relieved to have her taking care of Tot.”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was traveling! She absolutely went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Brooklyn was wonderful. She took such loving care of our cats. Our boy cat is a big slob and she had to clean up after him every day which was above and beyond. She spent time with each cat, and they gave her purrs, cuddles and licks, which tells me they felt safe and cared for.”
“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.”
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
“Phoebe was so wonderful! She took excellent care of my fur babes while I was out of town. She was excellent at communication and my fur babes loved her! 10/10 recommend!”
“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!”

“Keena provided amazing day care for my dog, Jasper. I could tell he how much he liked her right away. Jasper joined Keena and her family for a day full of fun activities. Keena shared so many wonderful photos. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her services again.”

“Lauren was great! We booked her last minute to watch our dog while we visited Gateway Arch National Park for three hours. We dropped her off, she updated us with how she was doing and sent photos, and she gave us a rundown of everything she did while she was there. 10/10, would use her again!”

They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”
“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.”
“Repeat booking with Madeline. Dogs were happy and calm when I picked them up. Madeline is great with fast communication and flexibility. Thank you we will book again.”

He acted really well, and she sent me many updates about his day and progress at her home and he did amazing. He was more than ready for bed when we got home…lol I loved it. We will be booking again 100%”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and will make your dog feel right at home. I treat every pup like my own with tons of love, attention, and playtime. Your dog will also have fun hanging out with my friendly pup, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics so you never have to worry! I currently have a very open schedule, which means I’m fully available for drop-in visits, playtime, and walks. I'm happy to work around your pet’s routine. Please note: For doggy day care that extends beyond 8 hours, there is an extra charge of $5 per every additional hour. Safety is super important to me! I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can run around and play safely. I always keep an eye on them during outdoor time to make sure everyone’s having fun and staying secure. I always follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and ensure pets have fresh water. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, keeping them safe and calm whether we’re on a walk or spending time inside. Please note: I do care for dogs from multiple families at the same time during boarding and daycare. I make sure all dogs are friendly and safe around others, and everyone gets plenty of love and attention. If your dog isn’t comfortable being around other dogs please be mindful before booking with me.
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 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.”
“Nicole and Tim were so welcoming and so kind. It was Benny’s first time spending time away besides groomers and he had so much fun! The updates throughout the day really made us be at ease. We are so happy with his stay and will come back to Tim and Nicole when we are in town. 😊”
“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🥰”
About: Life long dog owner and lover! Currently have a 2 year old mini dachshund Rue and a 11 year old grandpa mastiff pitt mix Gus. I am a PE teacher off for the summer so I love to get dogs their fulfillment through walks, sniffaris, fetch, or just some much needed attention. I endeavor to love, care for, and spoil your dogs just like I do my own I am a teacher off for the summer who also works at the 2nd shift brewery. I will be available most week days apart from 2 vacations I am taking. My summer schedule is very flexible to meet your needs. I have a fenced backyard and take my own pups on daily walks and would love to care for yours in the same way I do my own.
“Kelcey was so sweet and super quick to respond. She sent plenty of updates and kept our little Minnie happy! Totally recommend as she has a child who’s great for young pups!”

We are so happy for the care he has received. We are moving back home and are sad that we will be losing such a great dog walker. Thank you, Jamie, for everything you do for Cosmo on our work days!”
“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I also have volunteer experience with various types of dogs at an animal shelter. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available mainly in the evenings or on the weekends. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!
“Kyani was excellent. Extremely responsive and responsible with our dogs. She was super easy to work with and even helped arrange taking our dogs to boarding at my request. I will absolutely rebook with her next time I need pet care. Very personable and obviously a dog lover.”
“Lauren did such a wonderful job! It was Dream’s first time getting walked by someone else since she left the shelter, and Lauren was able to help with her distress about being left after the walk! I will definitely be hiring Lauren again.”
“Jenn was amazing to my pup, Elton (and his little cat brother Balou)! She was extremely prompt and communicative and I never worried about my animals when they were in her care 🐾”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience, including volunteering at the Humane Society. I provide dependable, caring walks and treat every dog like family. I work full time for the St Louis Blues but I have an hour long lunch, work ends at 4 pm and I have most weekends available. I grew up with dogs my whole life so I am more than comfortable around dogs all shapes and sizes. I love to walk so they'll get plenty of exercise. I volunteer at the humane society so I feel more than comfortable creating a safe environment. I live alone and have no pets so I will be able to give your dog my full attention.
“Alexa is super fast to respond and very caring with my puppy! She always makes sure that he is comfortable and happy when she takes him on his walks, and she takes the best pictures of him to keep me up to date.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.
About: I grew up with pets, I have house sat and pet sat since I was 13 and I am the proud mother of a cat. I currently work 3 12 hour shifts per week so I have a lot of open availability which varries week to week, which leaves a lot of free time to care for your pet! I have house sat, babysat, and looked after animals since I was in high school. I am very clean and am an animal loving person. I feel most comfortable in a clean environment. While I will not offer services in my own home ( I am not sure how my cat will interact with your pet) you can rest assured I will treat your home with the care and love of my own.
“Meghan, I’m so grateful for you. You came into my home with such calm care, followed every instruction, and treated my fur family with genuine love. You took Arrow for a real walk, made sure everything was secure, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing my home was safe and my dog and cat were so well cared for meant everything to me. I’m looking forward to having you back very soon.”
“Annamaria has been great! Charlie seems to really like her, and she’s been able to get him out of the house every visit so far - he can sometimes be a bit stubborn and refuse to get up lol. I’m very happy with the service so far, and definitely plan to continue having her work with Charlie.”
About: I'm a Rolla native and a current college student at Saint Louis University. I love running and long walks, so if you have a high-energy pup who needs a good run I'm the walker for you! I grew up on a small farm, and because of that I've had a lot of experience with various medical needs, and I know how to give medications orally. I've potty trained and raised several dogs and cats, and I have developed the patience of a saint because of it. I look forward to working with you and your furry family members!
