“Yajaira is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend. She has consistently taken great care of my dog Loki, and he loves going to her home. Your dog will be safe and well loved with Yajaira.”
“Highly recommend. Makylia is great. I’ve contacted her with short notice and she was able to take my pup in for day care and boarding. She was very responsive and gave me a peace of mind with picture and photo updates. You can tell that she really loves taking care of animals.”
“Jen was amazing with our Izzy! She kept us updated everyday on how Izzy was doing. Izzy had lots of love and attention, and exercise! Would 100% recommend Jen with the care of your furry family members.”
“I'm so glad I picked Addie for my first time using Rover. I had a mutual friend lines up that feel through last minute so I was nervous to use someone i didn't know but this experience couldn't have gone better. Addie basically walked me through it and once I left she sent pix and updates so I could deal with the business at hand with my quick trip. She said she would welcome my pup back again and I would 100% leave him with her again.”
“I had an amazing experience with Jourdyn! From the very beginning, she had great communication, maintained professionalism, and it was wonderful to see that I found a sitter who truly cared about my pup Leo. Jourdyn sent pictures and gave updates throughout the day, and I really enjoyed the videos of her spending quality time with Leo. I can’t say enough great things. I highly recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the near future. Thank you Jourdyn! - Shar and Leo”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and am the proud dog mom of Bella, my sweet 5-year-old pup. I have experience supporting dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including administering oral medications and even subcutaneous fluids when needed. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to each pet I care for. I have a strong wellness background and lead with calm, nurturing energy. I’ve taught fitness classes for over 15 years, so your pup will get plenty of movement, playtime, and gentle structure. My fiancé, a former Marine, often stays with me, and together we value safety, consistency, and creating a loving environment. Whether your dog needs extra affection, senior support, or a good long walk, I meet them right where they are—with patience, compassion, and respect. Pet care fits beautifully into my weekly routine. I’m available Tuesday through Saturday for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or extended daytime care, I’ll work with your pet’s needs to keep them happy and safe. I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and safety top of mind. In my home, pets have access to a clean, cozy, and pet-safe environment with space to relax and play. I never leave pets unsupervised outside and follow each owner’s care instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, and routines. I’m also experienced in administering medications and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. Whether in my home or on a walk, your pet’s well-being is my priority.

About: Hello, I have taken care of dogs in all shapes and sizes. If I can take of my grouchy bulldog then I’m pretty good at any other breed. I have also experience with dogs with anxiety and am very patient. I currently work during the day in the mental health field so I my availability is after work and all weekends. I can also do early on the mornings as well. I have a bulldog that can keep your dog company. My yard isn’t fenced so I can walk with your dog on a leash of if they don’t need it. My dog doesn’t require a leash so it would be fun for them to run around while I’m outside monitoring them with a close watchful eye

About: I am a recent graduate from Washington University in St. Louis. I now work at an all girls boarding school working in the dorms. The girls and I can’t wait to care for your pet/s! I love going on walks personally. I will happily take your pets with me! I also majored in English Literature, so I read a lot in my free time. Like I said, I spend most of my day reading or watching TV. I am heavy on the search for a job, so I will be spending my days on the laptop revising cover letters!
“Bandit had a great stay with Jill and family. Jill was very flexible accomodating us on a short notice. She sent us lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely use her again. Highly recommended!”
“I cannot recommend Ana enough as a dog sitter. Ana and her daughter were phenomenal watching our 10-year old boxer, Daisy, while we went on a long holiday weekend trip. I contacted Ana to set up a booking and before we booked; we had a great text conversation to ensure the situation was right for Daisy and that Daisy was not going to be too much trouble. Ana had no problem taking on the responsibility to ensure Daisy received all her regular meds during her stay. On top of basic care for Daisy; we ran into a last minute issue with Daisy post a mast cell tumor surgery; where she was going to require a vet visit and extra care of cleaning her wound and more meds. We were at a big decision point where we would have had to cancel our whole trip and miss our flight to bring Daisy to the vet but Ana offered to take Daisy to the vet and took special care of her all weekend based on the vet's instructions. She took a personal interest in ensuring Daisy was ok and well cared for. I would never have expected this from a sitter that I had never met previously. We were in constant communication while away with Ana providing regular updates on Daisy with pics and video. Not once did I worry she was not being taken care of properly. I would definitely go back to Ana with future requests to watch Daisy without question (as long as we were not too much trouble for her).”
