“Trust. I have implicit trust that Haley will do what she needs to do to care for and protect my dogs and home. It's hard to find good reliable individuals these days. I look forward to continuing to utilize her professional services.”

“Janay & Carlton did wonderfully at our place with our critters. We were gone for 10 days and our anxious goldendoodle, young poodle, and teenager cat were very well taken care of. The house was very well kept and everything just as we left it. We will absolutely be rebooking them next time we leave town. Thanks y’all!!”

“Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!”

“Megan is just the absolute best. She goes above and beyond every time she’s here, so we come home to a sparkling clean house and well cared for babies. Highly recommend! She is officially our go-to sitter as long as she’ll have us!”


“Tiffanie is the absolute best! She watched our dog in our home for 2 weeks while we were in Europe and we never had one concern. She sent detailed updates, and it was clear how well she took care of our pup. We joked our dog would prefer Tiffanie over us, given the great walks and play time she gave him. We got home to a happy and loved doggo and clean house. We will always reach out to her for future trips!”

About: I’m the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to pet care. I have experience walking, feeding, and administering medications, and I focus on creating a safe, fun environment where pets feel seen, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the week, I have a well-balanced full-time work schedule that allows me to provide care before and after work, and sometimes throughout the day. On weekends, I have more open availability to give pets extra time and attention. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins, I make sure each pet feels cared for, comfortable, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and tidy, and I provide updates so you feel at ease knowing your pet is being well cared for.

About: I’ve never not had pets. My family has almost always had dogs, and I took care of a hamster and cat when I was younger. Today, my wife and I have two poodle-mix dogs (Togepi and Raisin) and two guinea pigs (Betty and Gertie). We got Togepi when he was just a couple months old. We got Raisin from the APA in 2024. I’ve helped my wife with her Rover sitting since since 2023—she’s a 5-star sitter with nearly 50 reviews. I’m a law student at WashU. This semester (starting January 12), I have classes from early Tuesday afternoon through Thursday evening. I’m generally free otherwise. I’m happy to care for your pet(s) however you’d like. If you want me to stay in your home while you’re away, I can do so on most Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
“Em did an amazing job taking care of my Frenchie and kitty over the holidays. She looked after them for over 10 days in my home and sent consistent photos and status updates. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I left it, and she went above and beyond by washing the towels and bed linens she used. Most importantly my fur babies were happy and healthy and didn’t seem to miss me much 🥲”

“Gabbi was AMAZING with my animals. She watched my two dogs, cat, and fed some of my reptiles. She went slow with my fearful dog so she could warm up to Gabbi. Gabbi updated me daily to let me know what was going on! We also had a snow storm pass by and Gabbi made sure my dogs were ok in the snow and wiped their paws when coming in. She also shoveled my driveway which she did not need to do but did it anyway!! I appreciate everything she did for me and will be definitely rebooking with her!”

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.
“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.”

About: I've had pets around me since I was a baby. I had dogs growing up, and I've been around them ever since. I've been around 20 pound dogs, to 120 pound dogs, nothing is too much or too little for me. Currently I don't have a job, but I am just looking around at dog walking agin. I am supposed to go into the service in about a month, so im trying to make some extra money before I ship off! In my house, I have a fenced in yard, that keeps my pitbull safe, and happy. I would love to be in someone’s house where they have a fenced in yard, but I know that’s not ideal for everyone. If they don’t that’s perfectly fine, we just take the fur baby out in a leash to be outside then!

“Paige did a great job with the house and 3 dogs for a week long assignment. I especially appreciated that she took out the trash and started the dishwasher before she left! I would recommend Paige to anyone needing someone to housesit with their dogs. Thanks Paige!”

“This is our second time using Aubrey and were just as happy as the first. Our pups love her, she is very communicative, and she is very respectful of our space. She is our go to sitter!”


About: Hi! I’m a veterinary assistant and a certified behavior technician with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have medical experience with both dogs and cats, as well as personal experience with multiple species, including snakes, birds, rodents, and even spiders. I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages and needs, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with behavioral challenges. I’ve also cared for pets with medical conditions such as diabetes, urinary issues, and neurological conditions, as well as those requiring extra attention and compassion. In addition, my own veterinarian trusts me to pet sit, which speaks to the level of care and reliability I provide. I also have access to a trusted veterinarian if any concerns arise, giving you extra peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority (and of course, lots of love too!). I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s needs. Just let me know your preferred times and days, and I’ll work with you to find something that fits! I’m very attentive and always focused on what’s best for each pet. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and any changes that might indicate stress or a potential issue. My experience as a veterinary assistant has helped me recognize what’s normal and when something may need extra attention. I provide a calm, safe, and respectful environment, and I always adjust my approach based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your pet is outgoing or more reserved, I make sure they feel secure and well cared for.
“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”
