Pet Sitting Visitation Park

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. For the past several years, family members, neighbors, and friends in the St. Louis area have trusted me to check in on their dogs, feed them, play with them, stay overnight when needed, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m kind, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities. Whether they want a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just calm company. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently searching for full time employment so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups! There are occasional weekends where I have family things to attend but please reach out and ask! I have pretty open availability. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I’m happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. I also treat every client’s home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as instructed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life! I have 20+ years of experience growing up with and helping care for my own dogs from puppy to older age. My neighbors regularly trusted me to look after their pets while they were out of town. Now that I’m in med school across the country from my family pets, I’d love to channel all that extra pet-loving energy into giving your pets plenty of attention, affection, and fun! I'm currently working full-time, 9-5. I am available on weekday afternoons for care. On weekends, I am happy to pet-sit overnight. I have a car and am willing to travel <45 minutes. I live in a ~800 sq ft apartment, best-suited for smaller/medium pets. I am a 2 minute walk from Forest Park, where there's plenty of room for your pet to enjoy!

“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”

About: I have taken care of my childhood dog (now 18 years old) since I was a kid! I have watched friends’ and family’s pets for 5 years now. My father also has a puppy (who is a tri-pod!) who I helped him welcome home and train when he was adopted. My love for older dogs and pets with physical differences sets me apart as a dedicated, patient pet caregiver. I love long walks and am willing to go the extra mile for your pet! I have a very open daytime schedule, and can easily take pets on walks or stop by for check-ins during the daytime. My other job has odd hours, but it leaves the rest of my schedule flexible and open! I am a very active person and would love to run, walk, or play with your pet! For less active pets, I am happy to play indoors, snuggle, or hang out during visits. I am willing to learn any special routines or needs for your pet, as I believe every animal should be given a life that meets its own abilities and comfort.

About: As a passionate and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of reliability, empathy, and expertise to every pet I care for. I understand that your pet is a beloved member of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention as I would my own. With a strong background in pet care, from managing feeding schedules to providing mental and physical stimulation, I ensure each pet’s needs are fully met. My flexible approach allows me to adapt to different temperaments and requirements, whether for a high-energy pup, a shy cat, or a pet needing special care. Choosing me means peace of mind for you and a safe, joyful experience for your pet—because their happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, thoughtfully woven into each part of my day to ensure that every pet I look after receives the attention and care they deserve. My mornings begin with feedings, refreshing water bowls, and a bit of playtime to start each pet’s day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I check in regularly to ensure their needs are met, adjusting my schedule for specific care requirements like medication, exercise, or one-on-one attention. Evening routines often include another feeding, a final check-in, and a cozy wind-down to help them feel safe and secure before bedtime. This routine isn’t just about tasks; it’s about creating a steady rhythm that pets find comforting, reinforcing a bond of trust and familiarity with each pet in my care. When caring for pets in my home or while pet sitting in another person’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar, comforting environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I maintain a designated pet-friendly area stocked with essentials like food, toys, and a cozy rest space, ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. In a client's home, I adhere to the pet’s established routines and preferences, whether it’s feeding schedules, walking times, or play habits, to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I’m vigilant about safety, cleanliness, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet’s owner, adapting to each pet’s unique personality—whether that means extra play for an energetic pup or gentle companionship for a shy cat. This approach allows pets to feel loved and cared for in a setting that feels just like home, whether it’s mine or theirs.

“TzuYu was a wonderful cat sitter; she did everything I asked of her, played with my cat, and sent lots of pictures. I will be asking her to take care of my cat for my next trip too”

“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!”

“Excellent and very gentle with my ailing elderly dog with KD and dementia. After numerous cancellations on another site, rover.com came through in a big way with Haley the day before my family trip and I am very grateful I could enjoy my family vacation feeling good that Haley was sitting for my Bella and Prudence. We have our go to sitter from now on!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I’ve worked for wag and as a separate dog sitter for the past 5 years. I’ve also fostered several dogs with HSMO. I’m very experienced dealing with puppies, older dogs, and reactive dogs. I’m currently a medical student looking to sit and walk dogs during my time off. I’m particularly happy to do boarding and sitting! I have a large apartment and a large enclosed pet patio to take dogs out in and I live very close to forest park for lots of good walking space!

About: I got my first dog in my senior year of high school and helped with all of the training, walking, and enrichment while he was a puppy. I also dogsat throughout college for two golden retrievers and a cavalier king charles spaniel. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes! I have also lived with and helped to care for my roommates cat, and enjoy time with furry friends of either form! I'm currently a PhD Student which means daytimes can be quite busy. I'm mostly looking for morning or evening dog walks or weekend house-sitting. I'm also open to week-long or more house-sitting ventures, but I want to make sure your animals recieve the daytime enrichment they need, which may not be best from me. I can promise I will dedicate my full attention to your fur baby every time I am with them. Whether it's walking your dog, playing with your cat, or watching them for longer, I love playing with animals and will make sure they are happy.

“Suzanne was excellent with Riley (second time she watched him). Unfortunately, he got sick as soon as we left town and she advised us immediately, we suggested changing his diet, and she was kind enough to clean up after him. She was patient and kind and we greatly appreciate her concern, support, and care for Riley!”

Paul D.

“Hope is absolutely fantastic! My buddies love her. She is responsive, sent pictures and notes, and left my house as clean as she found it. We are using her again soon!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and caring for pets has become more than just my job it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve also cared for the pets of family members and friends. I currently work full-time as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, but I am available for pet care before and after work, as well as on select days off. My work experience allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own home because they’re most comfortable in a familiar environment with their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and enrichment while you’re away.

“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”

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: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me

About: I'm a college student missing my dog back home! With 9 years of experience caring for him and 12 years of walking neighbors' dogs, I’m excited to connect with local pets and give them the same love and energy I’d give my own! I’m taking classes this summer, but I have lots of time before and after work and on weekends dedicated to spending time with pets. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, giving me a fun, fulfilling break while helping your pet feel safe and loved! For my client’s homes, I will make sure to follow your routine as closely as possible, whether it’s walks, playtime, or any special circumstances. I will make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, just as I would mine!

“Yufang is definitely a five star sitter.”
