“We found all the qualities we were looking for in a pet sitter in Emma! Luna loves when she stays with her and we know she is being well taken care of and loved♡ We 100% recommend Emma and we cannot wait for her return in the fall!”

“Brandy did a great job caring for our dogs. She stayed with them the entire time we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated her reliability and dedication.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received while I was away! Jamie went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. Sparky is an elderly guy, but Jamie kept him in his routine, which helped so much. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and treating my dogs like your own!”

“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

“She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.”

“I am so forever grateful for Matt!!! He is the most dependable, flexible, patient person on this planet. Aside for accommodating my schedule during a very chaotic, crazy time, when I got home, my dog was the happiest and most well adjusted she’s been while I had to go out of town. I know he played with her a LOT. I got a lot of photos and videos. I cannot emphasize enough how dependable Matt is. Very hard to find in this world. Thank you, Matt! Amazing job!”

About: I have a miniature bernedoodle that is my baby. I love all dogs and I have no met a dog that I do not get along with. I make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before any interaction. I am a very upbeat and bubbly person who enjoys walks and exercise! I am an early bird so I do not mind getting anywhere early. During the week, I am at the gym early in the am and then take my dog to my parents to play with their dog a few times a week. I talk my walk just about everyday of the week and it’s a great thing to do for both of us and we both enjoy it. In the evenings, I try to talk her for another walk if I can when the weather is nice. Most evenings, I am home and playing with my own dog. I plan on offering potty breaks and dog walking. I really make sure that the pets are taken care of and have all they need. For my own dog, when she stays at home by herself a couple times a week, I make sure she has toys and a radio on so it’s not dead silence. As soon as I get home, I take her out and play with her outside and get her to run out her wiggles.
“Mallory did an excellent job ensuring our house and pup were well cared for. She was super reliable and responsive and asked questions if she wasn't clear on something. Strongly recommend her!”

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.
About: I'm comfortable with all dog sizes, though am physically limited for some walking (up to 30 minutes per walk), tugging, and lifting. I have plenty of experience giving injections and oral medications. I have a lot of experience training puppies and aided my senior pup who was blind, deaf, and had dementia at the end. I do not mind having to change doggie diapers, either. I also have some experience with hamsters, pigs, birds, snakes, chickens, goats, sheep, horses, etc. I am a stay at home mom to two independent teens and have several pets of my own. I am available most days and times, whether for checking in on your pets, or staying the night so they don't get too lonely. If you have a contained/caged animal (like rodents, snakes, etc) that needs to stay out of your house for a given time, that can be discussed. I am unable to keep loose animals in my home due to my own pets. I can feed the pets on or off of a schedule, give medications when necessary, clean up after them (outdoor and indoor), brush them, give lots of cuddles and play time. I don't mind kennel/crating them or helping to train the animals. I also have experience with Fluent Pet buttons/talking pets.

“Perfect as always. Communicated well while we were away and Oliver has bonded to Stephanie very well. We trust her to take good care of Oliver and our home. Thank you Stephanie!”
About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.
About: I have dog/cat and house sat since I turned 16! I started taking care of one dog in my neighborhood at 16 and then started getting more clients when I went to the gym as these people heard and trusted me. I have dogsat for numerous of families over the years and still continue to do so. One client I have been dogsitting for the whole 7 years. I have the experience to give dogs medicine, bathe them, daily walks(pick up poop), fill up food and water bowls, clean up accidents in the house and of course treats and playtime! I have another job so Im consistent with letting them out for potty or feeding time every 4-8 hours. I love taking them for car rides and going to parks for walks, and pup cups! Im very good with following a detailed schedule/list and any specific needs for the dog. Your pet is my number one priority! I have pets of my own so taking care of an animal comes very easy for me. For dog,cat/house sitting, I will spend as much time with your dog/cat until I have to go to work and my jobs are pretty flexible so I can stop by on break(depending location) but im consistent with potty/feeding time every 4-8 hours. I am more than happy to stay at your home and be with your animal 24/7! I care for my cats by giving them cuddles and the love they deserve. I clean up after them as well as clean them. My cats love treats so when they hear that temptation bag they come running! In my clients home I make sure their companion gets fed on time and always has water in their water bowl. I also always make sure they get all the pets and cuddles as they want making sure they feel loved and not lonely(as they are missing their parents). I provide a comforting environment for them to make them feel safe with me. Hanging out with them is a priority! I will also make sure their space is well kept.
