Pet Sitting in Vallecito

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and when a dog is around, they truly come first. I’m someone people trust deeply with their animals — creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love spending time with animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I offer overnight dog stays in the Greater St. Louis area for as many days as you need; providing consistent, attentive, one-on-one care. Whether it’s a rainy wander near your neighborhood or a long weekend hike at a local park, your dog will be well-exercised, engaged, and happily included in my day-to-day life. I love being outdoors in all kinds of weather and come fully prepared with rain and snow gear — because dogs don’t stop having fun just because it’s cold outside! I’ve grown up with animals, raised two dogs of my own, and began animal sitting professionally in 2013. In most places that I have lived I have taken care of animals from Bend, Oregon, Seattle, Washington to Nantucket Island and now here in St. Louis. Although I have not stayed in someone's home here in StL, I did foster three dogs from the Humans Society of the past year. I have also provided extended stays caring for farm animals: two horses, three dogs, two cats, five chickens, and two donkeys. Those multi-week farm stays taught me the importance of multitasking, routine, and especially individualized, one-on-one care. Whether we’re out exploring or snuggling on the couch, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs and routines. I make sure the medicines are taken and the appropriate level of exercise is given depending on age and ability. I strive to provide happy, healthy, and fun care, while always prioritizing safety and comfort. Clear, accessible communication is important to me. While I’m caring for your dog, you can expect photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well and feeling at home. Your dog will be cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine affection — just like one of my own. Dog care is woven into my daily routine, not added on as an afterthought. I work part-time downtown St Louis from 8am-2pm, so I can plan my days around an animal’s needs. Whether it’s a calm early morning walk, an afternoon adventure, or quiet evening time at home, dogs are fully included in my schedule and receive consistent attention throughout the day. My routine allows me to be present, responsive, and focused on keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and consistent environment that follows the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I take time to follow instructions and ask questions so that I undoubtedly understand each animal’s feeding schedule, walk and exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and comfort preferences. Dogs in my care receive regular walks, outdoor time, play, companionship, and plenty of rest. I have a fenced in yard for off leash play. I prioritize one-on-one attention and never rush care. Whether we’re staying close to home or enjoying time outside, safety and comfort always come first. During overnight or extended stays, I maintain cleanliness, structure, and a relaxed atmosphere so pets feel secure. If I am at your home, it is treated as my own, and I am a particularly clean person. I also value clear communication and provide updates, photos, and notes, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Karen was fantastic. Our dog was shy of a new person and she was incredibly patient with him. We would definitely book her again.”

About: My favorite thing in the world is animals! All they want is someone that will love them unconditionally and that’s exactly what I can do! I have animal sat multiple times in my hometown and people would describe me as nurturing, trustworthy and a great communicator! I currently don’t have a job and would like to dedicate my time to doing this for the summer! I would love to help you out! I unfortunately don’t think I could offer for your pet to stay at my home because I share an apartment with a couple other people. But, I would take amazing care of your pet in your home by making sure they are well behaved and getting the exercise and playtime they need for the day, so that they can be rested, calm and collected at night!

About: I am a local pet sitter here in Murphys, CA. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I have several years of pet sitting experience. It all started with a coworker asking me to watch her lovely Golden Retriever, and by word of mouth my clientele grew! It brings me much joy and gratification caring for and spoiling people's pets while they are away. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pet(s) soon! :) I work full-time locally in Murphys, CA . My schedule is Mon through Thurs 7:30 AM to 5:15 PM with a lunch hour from 1 to 2 PM. Typically during the work week I can either so a small walk or some playtime and feed pets their breakfast before I leave for work. If the job is close enough I can stop by on my lunch and do potty breaks or playtime. After work I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them to get their energy out. :) I typically stay in the client's home with their pets, but that all depends on their preference. I can also do walks and drop in visits.

“Charlene did a great job with Sierra. Texted and sent me pictures. Sierra was happy and relaxed when I got home.”

About: I’ve been trusted with every sort of pet from a tiny lizard to a giant horse. I also have years of experience working in a veterinary hospital and providing care to young and old pets. I currently work as a Behavioral therapist for kids with autism. I don’t start my work day until 12 pm and have plenty of time in between clients to care for your sweet animals.

Where I also take my bunny and cat on frequent walks. All of my pets are very friendly and love the company of other animals.

About: I’ve trained my German Shepherd from puppyhood, cared for senior large dogs with patience and skill, and successfully trained a small-to-medium puppy for another family. I spend each day surrounded by my dog, two cats, and parakeet, giving them consistent care, attention, and love. I’m passionate about animals and make their well-being, enrichment, and comfort a natural part of my daily routine. I care for pets in their home by following all routines, keeping their environment safe, and providing constant, attentive supervision. I ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved while you’re away.

About: I grew up in a household where multiple dogs and cats were present for many years all varying differently in terms of behaviors, size and breed. From a young age I was taught how to properly treat and care for animals with love, respect and kindness being first and foremost every animal is equal and deserves the best we can provide. I’m experienced in giving dogs medication through oral and syringe as one of my older dogs needed daily shots given with care. I am hyper aware of safety, always pay attention to our surroundings and as ready as I can be for the unexpected. I am a professional and reliable individual who takes pride in his work and making our pets feel comfortable and safe in my care. I work a full time job (8:30am-5pm Sunday-Thursday) Fridays and Saturdays off. I’m open everyday before 8:00am and everyday after 5pm for dog walks or other activities for our beloved pets. Fridays and Saturdays available all day. Big 2 acre fenced yard with plenty of running and sniffing space. I have 1 very friendly dog named Presley who loves making new friends and showing them around the property. I can crate if you’d prefer or any special conditions will be careful planned for and executed to yours and your pets liking. This house is very pet friendly although no fur babies on the furniture 😂.

“Jef was extremely responsive and took great care of my 91 year old father’s cats when he left on a family emergency.”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“Brooke did a great job administering medication for our cat and providing us tips. She's calm, gentle, and knowledgeable. The booking and communication back and forth with Brooke was easy.”

“We recently moved to the area and were in need of someone to care for our senior cat. We found Linda and we are so glad we did! She is kind and professional and she takes her job seriously. She took great care of our kitty and even sent us pictures of a kitty that hangs around our property. We are happy knowing we have Linda for any cat care needs in the future.”

My journey as an animal enthusiast and companion spans across my life. Growing up, I've shared my home with a diverse range of animals, from playful puppies to spirited teenage dogs, and even wise senior canine citizens. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also provided me with a comprehensive understanding of their needs and behaviors at every life stage. With my part-time job and flexible schedule, pet care easily fits into my routine. I make sure to stick to a regular feeding and walking schedule, and I use my free time to play and bond with my pet. Grooming and vet appointments are scheduled during my available hours, ensuring my furry friend gets the attention they need. This balanced approach helps me provide the best care for my pet while managing my work commitments. I've established a solid routine for looking after pets at clients' homes and during walks or drop-ins. Alongside ensuring they have proper food, water, exercise, and playtime, I'm careful to adhere to any specific guidelines provided by the pet owners. This can involve tasks like giving medications, sticking to their regular schedule, and creating a secure setting. I also maintain open communication with clients to foster trust and guarantee the well-being, happiness, and health of their pets.

“Kim did such a great job caring for Mia and Apollo while my husband and I were out for the day! She was a great communicator & the dogs really enjoyed her visits. Would definitely recommend!”
