“Laura took excellent care of our pup! I could tell that she was cared for as part of their family. Laura provided daily photo updates so we knew she was cared for. I would highly recommend and will use her again!”
“Highly recommend! Our shih tzu is adopted from a puppy mill and is a little quirky. He loved Mary and we could tell she took the time to get to know him and make him comfortable! Charlie had a great vacation at Mary’s!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”

I was worried that he would be homesick, but Damica made him feel happy and safe. I can’t express how grateful I am to her.”
“Reba treated Liberty just like her own. She sent pictures and updated how she was doing frequently. I’d ask Reba to watch Libs again in a heartbeat, knowing she was in great hands.”

“Very attentive and although he only had 30 minutes he still made sure to play, give treats, and cuddle with them. Went above and beyond what we requested.”

“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.”
“Jenn was an amazing pet sitter for our little kitties!! She was always on time for their food time and kept to our schedule with the litter box cleaning. She left us daily photos and an overall visit summary every time! We would 100% recommend her for anyone!! We will definitely be using her next time, and every time after that as well!”
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
“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!”
“Hannah was great!! Super responsive when we needed a sitter last minute and great about keeping us updated along the way! Would absolutely book again!”
“Emily was great in coming to check-in on Leo a little short notice due to a trip I was on and some changes in plans in who was checking on him. As always Emily was super communicative and helpful 😊 I am so glad she was available to watch him.”

Can provide care for pets with special needs! I also have a background in animal behavior and am happy to assist in training! I currently have availability on Friday afternoons and weekends! Need a vacation or just a break for the weekend? Let me take care of your pets/house and give you peace of mind at an affordable price! I will work with you to create an individualized plan of care for your pet's specific needs!

About: I have been taking care of pets from 5 years old. My dog, Winnie, is now 16 years old and still kickin’! He lives in Tennessee with my parents. I have grown up taking care of dogs and have a lot of experience with different breeds. I adopted my sweet kitty, Noodle, when he was 11. He’s now around 19 years old and has accidents on occasion, so I am used to messes with senior and young pets. I am currently working part time, but I am available during the morning and late afternoon. My weekends are mostly free. I keep my phone around at all times, so I am pretty flexible: I will always make sure your pet has clean water and the recommended amount of food. I will clean up any accidents if they occur and notify you of any abnormal behavior. You will also receive plenty of pet photos!
“Laura is so incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. She took incredible care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend, and it really put us at ease knowing he was in such good hands! Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Brooklyn is THE BEST. From the moment I read her profile I knew she was the perfect match. Then when we met her I was able to completely relax about going to the other side of the world, knowing our old man would be looked after by someone who not only is super qualified— but caring, responsible and super communicative. I want to boost her on here because she so deserves it, but worried she is going to get so busy that she won’t be available! Book her- trust me. A million thanks to you Brooke for giving us peace of mind.”
“Ruby was fantastic - so easy to work with and kept our kitties happy and well fed while we went out of town for a few days. We will definitely reach out to Ruby the next time we need a cat sitter!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.

“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks.

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, I’ve been the go-to pet caretaker for family members since I was nine. Whether it was for relatives traveling out of town or my own beloved dogs, I’ve handled a variety of breeds and temperaments with the utmost care and dedication. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in experienced, loving hands. My daily routine revolves around my pup. Each morning starts with a walk before I head to school for a few hours. When I get back, we enjoy some quality time, and I make sure my dog is fed and happy. Even when I work the night shift, I have a trusted friend who comes by to take care of my dog. At night, my dog is right by my side, sleeping in the bed with me until the next morning. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every dog in my care. Whether your dog prefers to be in or out of the crate, I ensure they are comfortable and secure. You can trust that I maintain a vigilant and caring watch over all the dogs I look after.
“Nicole and tim sent great pictures in the video. They agreed to help out very last minute. And had an adorable house and yard for josie to hang out in.”
“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.”
About: Hello! My name is Medona but I prefer to go by Ruby! I grew up with dogs in my house and pets have become family members. I literally take them out every time I'm out hiking, shopping, picnics, etc. I have experience working with kids and the elderly so I am very patient and responsible. As a person who loves what Utah has to offer, I would love to have a buddy with me to hit the hiking trails. I'm more than willing to work along your regular schedule for your dogs regarding feeding, walk, and medication time too. As a dog owner myself, I get very anxious about how my favorite boy is doing so I usually send daily updates to make sure you have peace of mind. My partner takes care of my dog (Mani) when I'm watching other pets so there would be no interactions with Mani unless you feel comfortable! Contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! :) I'm currently working a full time job but can come during lunch breaks to check up on them. My weekend starts at noon on Friday.
“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: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.
“Zaria was amazing and we're so thankful she was available on short notice. She was flexible with drop off/pick up times and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“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.”
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.

“Lauren is such a sweet and caring person with Romeo. I’m so glad she was able to help out! She communicates clearly, shows genuine care, and made sure Romeo was well taken care of. I’ll definitely be asking for her help again—highly recommended!”

“We’ve been working with Morgan consistently over the past 6 months and she has been absolutely fantastic! She’s incredibly communicative and reliable giving us complete peace of mind. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to any of our close friends and family!!”
About: I've owned pets ranging from birds, to pigs, dogs and cats! I'm a ecstatic animal lover and a go-to sitter for many of my friends. I currently own one cat and one dog that truly love each other. I currently work 5 days a week, but only in the evening so mornings or afternoons work best. I am comfortable crating if necessary as well. I do not have a yard of my own but live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood in Soulard. I love directly across the street from a park where I frequently play with my dog Nala.
“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: As a child, I grew up with having a cat as a pet. I love them so much, but remember begging my parent for a dog for many years. (Currently my boyfriend is allergic to cats so looks like we’re officially dog people) We finally got a family dog when I was 15, a giant sweetheart, St. Bernard named Rocky. I got my first (full responsibility) dog with my high school boyfriend at 17, a big headed, gentle giant Blue Nose Pitbull. And I adopted my soul dog at 19, our stubborn, loving stinky boy, Tyson! We spend the last 15 year together and he went across the rainbow bridge last year. I was so lucky to have my 80 lb boxer pitbull live as much life as he did by my side. As a 34 year old who is pet-less for the 1st time in forever, I’m here to share my love for animals in my spare time with your sweet babies! My schedule changes frequently. Weekdays are usually best for my availability for walks. Weekends are optional for over night care, but I will be working so they need to be house or crate trained. I have a fenced yard shared with a duplex that has no other animals. There are lots of squirrels and bunnies in my area, but otherwise your furry friend will have the whole yard to theirselves! I enjoy spending time with them in the yard as well
“Jenn is amazing! We recently moved to St. Louis and Jenn hopped right in to helping us out with our dog. Jenn is so thorough with pictures and updates. In the past we’ve had dog walkers that don’t actually give our dog a walk and instead do just a pee break but Jenn makes sure our dog gets outside and moves! Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been more than pets—they’ve been family. Growing up as an only child, my dog was my best friend, and I took on the responsibility of crate and potty training him. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, including a pit bull, and I understand their unique needs. I also have some experience with puppies and love learning about their specific care requirements. Whether it’s keeping up with their energy, helping with training, or providing plenty of affection, I’m ready to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me complete flexibility to care for your pet. Whether you need daytime, evening, or even last-minute walks or sitting, I’m fully available to meet your needs. I believe that caring for pets in their home environment is the best way to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Being in a familiar space reduces stress and helps pets maintain their routine, which is essential for their well-being. I’m dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment wherever I care for them, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing companionship, I take the time to learn each pet’s needs and preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.
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!
