Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in West End, Saint Louis, MO

“Abby is the sweetest!! She played with my cat Pasha every day and kept her fed and watered. She sent me tons of photos and was so quick to respond :) Pasha seemed so happy throughout Abby’s visits and I returned to a such happy cat! 100% will be booking Abby in the future.”

“Autumn was AMAZING! We have a very nervous dog who is VERY slow to warm and Autumn won her over! Her pictures and notes were fantastic. Thank you for taking care of Bunni and Ruby so well! We will be sure to have you care for them again!”

“D’Andra really helps us out and goes above & beyond for Olive!”

“We sincerely appreciated Emily’s help with our dog, Vienna, last week. She wore our little puppy out and made sure she was taken out regularly to avoid any accidents in the house. We appreciated her advice and suggestions on potty and crate training as well. Thank you, Emily!”

About: Hey pet parents! With two decades of dedicated animal care under my belt, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your beloved pets receive the best possible care. I got my first dog when I was 21 and haven't not been obsessed with dogs ever since! My journey in pet care has encompassed everything from active playtime to administering specialized medical treatments. Our family currently has 2 rescue wonder mutts, both of whom can be a bit of a handful. I've had the privilege of working closely with wonderful dog trainers who have taught me how to handle our fearful dogs, helping them build trust and confidence. I have also taken the Fundamentals of Dog Training and Behavior Course through Victoria Stillwell Dog Training Academy, and just began taking the Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification Course. My commitment to the well-being of animals extends beyond routine care, as I've consistently provided attentive support for dogs with various medical needs. One of my dogs, Neko, has an autoimmune disorder requiring daily meds and monthly injections. Your furry family members are not just pets to me; they're cherished companions deserving of exceptional care and compassion. As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave our furry best friends with someone else. I will be sure to thoroughly go through any and all information regarding your pet's needs and preferences so that I can provide the kind of care I would want for my pups. In addition to dogs, we have always had one if not two cats in the house as well, and am happy to befriend feline companions too! My schedule is extremely flexible. I am available Monday-Friday and able to meet your dog's needs and spend quality time playing, walking, snuggling, whatever your pet prefers! Occasional weekend availability is open to discussion as well. I know my pups are most comfortable at home, so I would love to spend time with your pup in their own space. Clients can expect updates on their pets via text, as well as photos & videos if requested!

“Claudia did a great job with our dog Hanley. Claudia is extremely responsible and communicative, and is so good with animals. She made sure Hanley was comfortable at home without us and even helped keep him calm during a storm. Claudia is exactly what we hoped for with Rover!”

“Anne took great care of my little guy so he could potty and get some exercise while I was gone all day. She sent lots of pictures. Will book her again.”

“Brenda was so responsive and caring! Really appreciate all her updates and time spent with my cat (who usually isn’t very social with strangers but loved Brenda).”

“Minal watched our two cats while we went on a 10 day trip overseas. She dropped in every other day to make sure our cats had plenty of food, fresh water, clean litter and were happy. She put at us ease by sending cute pics of our cats and her playing around. We would happily have her watch our cats again! There will be no worries with Minal as your pet sitter!”

“Hayley went above and beyond! There were some unexpected fireworks during her drop-in visit, and she was so great communicating with us and making our dog Ruby feel comfortable and safe.”

“Allison left the most detailed review of her time with Momo ❤️. It’s clear she really cares and loves this work. She made sure to be in contact with me every step of the way.”

“Abbey took great care of my cats and took time to play and love on them. Would highly recommend!!”

“Tara was so great! You are so easy to talk to and so lovely! She took care of my babies like her own! She followed my exact instructions and communicated during visits.”

“I scheduled Jean for a drop-in to meet my two pups. She was pleasant, kind, and curious about them. One of them, Theo, is a rambunctious (read barky/jumpy) 15 month old Chocolate lab. She did great with both of them!”

“Drew did an outstanding job taking care of my cat when I was out of town. He sent frequent updates and I felt totally safe having him make visits to check in at my place. Super polite and courteous. I could tell my cat was well taken care of. I definitely recommend Drew and would use him again for pet sitting!”

“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”

“We had Claudia look after our two kittens while we were out of town. She was extremely communicative, kind, and caring towards our fur babies. She proactively gave us updates and made it easy for us to step away for a few days!”

“Abby was great with the cats. Prompt and thorough and provided daily updates and photos. Sunny and June we’re happy and we’ll cared for when I got home! Thanks Abby!”

About: I have a deep-seated love for all kinds of cats, and I take pride in my ability to connect with even the most distrustful felines. This special bond I form with cats, including the more challenging ones, sets me apart as a sitter. My volunteering experience at animal shelters has equipped me with extensive knowledge about various cat behaviors, allowing me to understand and respond to their unique needs effectively. Whether it's a playful kitten, a serene adult, or a cautious senior, I can adapt my approach to provide the best care and companionship. In addition to my ability to connect with cats on a deep emotional level, I am also skilled in practical aspects of care, such as feeding, grooming, administering medication, and understanding behavioral cues. My commitment extends beyond just meeting their basic needs; I strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for each cat. I believe every cat deserves patience, love, and understanding, and this belief is at the heart of my approach to pet sitting. By choosing me as your sitter, you are ensuring that your cat is in hands that not only understand their practical care requirements but also deeply respect and connect with their individual personalities and needs. I'm currently a part-time master student at WashU and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm available most time during the week, but occasionally be busy on Mondays and Wednesdays. I will clean the litter and fill the food for your cats. If they are in the mood, I'll play with them using a laser pointer.

“We can recommend Anelise highly as she has always done a great job in our home. We know that we can count on her and leave without a second thought. She is responsible, accommodating and makes our pets feel at ease.”
