About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday, so im available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

About: I am a work from home RN which allows me to be present with your babies and give them all the snuggles, treats, walks and play time they could want. My husband and I both have had dogs all of our lives and feel completely comfortable around all types of breeds. We have two dogs of our own and they are so incredibly loved and cared for. We will give you the peace of mind while you are away that your babies are cared for as you would. Since I am home all day, there's very little time your pup will be left alone. I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time and walks. ​We live on a peaceful 1.3-acre property and are one of only three houses on a long, quiet dead-end street with virtually no traffic. We have a massive backyard surrounded by nature with endless room for pups to run and play! ​A quick note on safety: While our large yard is unfenced, your dog's safety is our absolute top priority. If your pup is a wanderer or loves to roam, we are fully prepared to take extra measures—such as using long training lines, continuous supervision, or structured outdoor play—to ensure they get plenty of freedom and exercise without compromising their safety. ​As the proud owner of two dogs myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family members. I treat every guest like my own and promise to keep your babies safe, happy, and loved in your absence!

About: Looking for more than just a typical dog sitter? ​I’m Roosevelt, and for the past 8+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding canine behavior from the ground up. I specialize in working with high-drive and anxious dogs, using proven body language communication to build calm composure and trust. ​Whether you need structured walks, behavior maintenance, or overnight care, your dog receives professional oversight in a safe, controlled environment. You’ll stay connected with daily updates and photos every day they’re with me. ​Reach out today to lock in your Meet & Greet! As a professional dog trainer, pet care isn't a side hustle it is my full-time daily routine. My entire schedule is strictly structured around high performance exercise, advanced handling, and pack management. Whether training or boarding, dogs are fully integrated into my disciplined daily lifestyle from morning until night. When your dog steps into my care, they are entering a structured environment built for engagement, confidence, and high-energy fun! Rain, snow, or heat—weather is never an issue. I utilize controlled indoor exercise equipment, including a dedicated dog treadmill, to maintain physical conditioning year round. ​Safety and trust are my highest priorities. To build real-world focus and reliable obedience, I introduce structured outings to local, dog-friendly spots and high-distraction environments to keep their mental skills sharp as a tack. Whether working on precision focus, brain games, or physical fitness, your dog gets an ideal mix of clear discipline, high-reward fun, and deep relaxation. I respect your home, enforce your precise house rules, and deliver daily updates so you always have complete peace of mind!

“Nicole was an excellent host. I booked a last minute trip and she was able to work with me so that my trip went as smooth as possible. She took amazing care of my pups and provided me with constant updates. I would highly recommend trusting Nicole with your fur babies.”

About: I'm 23 years old and currently work full-time at the Humane Society of Missouri, where I care for animals of all sizes and temperaments every day. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — including reactive or high-energy pups. I’m also a proud dog mom to two wonderful German Shepherds, so I truly understand how much your dog means to you. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or boarding, I provide the same love and care to your pets as I do to my own. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about animals, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for — whether you’re at work or away on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 10-4, but am able to come home for lunch to let the dogs out! I am available early morning and afternoon for anything! I live in a very large apartment with so much room to walk around and play! I have many green space around my apartment for walks, along with a fenced in dog park attached to my apartment!

“a big thanks to Keena for taking care of our dog while we explored St. Louis. She took her for two walks, communicated with photos and videos throughout the day. Our dog came home happy! Would highly recommend if in the St. Louis area!”

Marla D.

“Sarah is a great sitter! We initially booked her for boarding and added on day care so our puppy had a chance to get to know Sarah and her son before our trip. She is very flexible and communicative. We have our boarding scheduled soon and will continue to use Sarah in the future!”

“OMG, my dog just loves being at Jordans! When I went to pick him up he kept trying to go back into the house!!! Obviously my little man feels very comfortable there... and I think he has a little crush on Jordans dog Penny!!”

Loree A.

“Isa was great for daycare for our puppy!! We were visiting St. Louis and she took great care of our puppy while we were exploring for the day. She was very responsive and sent updates throughout the day which we loved. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we are back in St. Louis!”

Michael S.

“She did great putting up with our handful of a dog.”

Amy S.

“Shannon and Daniel are great people. Friendly, accommodating and took great care of Sadie. She was very happy when I picked her up and she slept most of the 2.5 hr drive home. They went above and beyond helping me locate a central location to meet my sister and her family to ride together to the Cardinals’ game. I will definitely use them again next time I’m in St Louis.”

Sonny S.

“Ashlie took great care of Rosie! We booked a daycare day with her last minute because our AC went out, and she was so responsive and accommodating! We will definitely be taking Rosie back to her in the future.”

“Ms Sarah is the best ever! She is so calm and patient and a joy to communicate with. My pup Rocky ADORES her. It is often mentioned in the comments but she really does take the BEST photos. She’s got fans for life in me and Rocky”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and routines that goes far beyond the average pet sitter. From the energy of playful pups to the quiet companionship of senior cats—and the powerful presence of horses—I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that helps pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s administering medications, handling special diets, or recognizing subtle changes in behavior, I treat every animal with the same attentiveness and care I give my own. My clients know they’re not just hiring a sitter—they’re getting a devoted animal lover with years of hands-on experience across a wide range of species. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Although I work full-time, I’ve structured my schedule to allow time before and after work for morning and evening visits, check-ins, feedings, and playtime. Caring for animals brings balance to my day—it’s something I genuinely look forward to and make time for with intention. Because I know how important consistency is for pets, I prioritize punctuality and clear communication, ensuring your cat (or dog, or other companion!) stays on their routine and feels comfortable while you’re away. Weekends and holidays offer even more flexibility, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize three things above all: safety, trust, and a stress-free environment. I know how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar surroundings while their humans are away, and I work hard to maintain the routines and atmosphere that help them feel secure. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, following detailed instructions and keeping things clean and tidy. From securing doors and gates to monitoring your pet’s behavior and health, I take every precaution to ensure a safe, calm experience. My goal is to make your time away as worry-free as possible—for both you and your pet. You can count on me for consistent updates, honest communication, and dependable care that reflects genuine love for animals.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. In high school, I was the one people called to watch their pets when out of town. At 18, I got my first non family dog and self trained her for the AKC good citizen test. At that point I became the friend everyone called to help train their dogs. I have fostered bottle babies all the way to senior animals with complex medical needs. I also have experience working with reactive and fearful dogs. I am also experienced in dispensing medication. My current dog has a spinal condition and gets medication twice daily. My soul dog was in palliative care for the last five months of her life and I learned a lot about basic canine first aid. My current dog has traveled with me extensively. He’s been to 13 states and roadtrips with me through Mexico. I think there is a care plan for every animal. I look forward to treating your pet like they are part of the family. I work full time from home, but have a very flexible daytime schedule. I am able to take breaks as often as needed with no issue. I currently walk my dog at 5am and 10pm to avoid daytime heat and give him bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. I learned a long time ago that routine is best for most pets. My dog does for two 45 minute walks a day, and meals twice a day. When hosting another pup, your pups schedule will be continued. Even if it’s different from my dogs. They will be fed and crated separately. If your dog is less social I have plenty of space to keep the pups separate, if needed. When dog sitting in your home, my dog will head to do board and train lessons or stay with a friend. My routine will shift to match what your dog is used to.

“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
