Took great care of our elderly cat, including brushing her and giving her medicine 2x a day. Definitely will use this service again!

Daria is fantastic! I was searching for a cat sitter about a week before my trip, and Daria responded promptly, and was quick and efficient with setting up our contract. She came over to meet the kitties and get a key, and even brought them a toy! While I was away, she sent photos of both cats every day at the same time along with updates. She is truly excellent at what she does, and a very caring person on top of that. I will definitely hire Daria again. read more

Five stars across the board. We travel fairly frequently and up until recently tested our trust of good friends to check on our cats during longer trips. We decided over the summer (as we were going to be away two weeks) to try a pet sitting agency and couldn't be more happier with Derek and team. From the initial consult, Derek paid careful attention to our routine and made notes to ensure he knew what we preferred; asking lots of questions along the way. During our trip he was reliable, sending emails with updates. Our poor cats are a little elusive so it was not until our third trip did he finally snap off a photo to send. An awesome touch when you are missing home. The level of service offered is second-to-none, he watered our plants outside and brought in mail. Our one persnickety kitty seemed happy as ever upon our return and we thank Derek and team for that. We have called upon Soulard Pet Sitters three times and just booked two more. Now if only the gang would accept PayPal so I don't have to dust off my checkbook. :) read more

Insured, Licensed and Bonded with very reasonable rates. Absolutely great service and I will never leave my pet at a kennel again! Eric, Jennifer and Celia are great! They email you with a personal report after every visit so you know your cherished pets are loved. No more kennel cough, stinky fur, diarreah or haunted dreams from the pooches after a lengthy or short trip. They'll also retrieve your mail, water your plants and turn on/off lights while you're gone. A complete red-carpet experience! read more

I have been using SPS for my dearest BFF golden retriever for the past 2 months and Derek has been fabulous with her. The company's extremely flexible and even on short-notice when i had a late meeting. They are very attentive in making sure you get an e-mail and even a pic with every visit and when i've been gone, D even picked up my mail. SPS provides a professional and genuine assessment/interview with you and your pet before the visits commence. D has been so patient with my dog (e.g., her chasing squirrels and leaves) and she seems to love him. i leave on frequent trips and she seems well taken care of when i return every time. SPS' prices are very reasonable and they can pet sit/walk your pets on holidays. they are truly a God-send. read more

Reliable pet sitters are hard to find. Especially ones who you can trust as soon as you meet them. Derek has helped us out several times, last minute, even on his own wedding weekend (though, to be clear, he had stand-in help during his actual wedding). They have a standardized form to make it easy when visiting you the first time. They are especially thorough and easy to work with -- Derek jumped right in his car and headed over when we needed our key back one time. THese guys are great, can't recommend them highly enough. read more

This is the third time I have used Soulard Pet Sitters. It is an exceptional service. Top notch! I'm moving to another city and bummed because the chances of finding someone this good will be slim. Thank you, Joe read more

Soulard Pet Sitters is a great pet care service located in Soulard. I have used them on several occasions to walk and care for my dog w.hen I travel or when I'm not home enough to give my dog the attention he needs. The prices are reasonable and I love the photos they text you of your dog on a walk or involved in different activities. Nice touch and nice people. I'd trust them with my dog any day!! read more

Daria and Derek have taken care of our two cats several times while we have been out of town for extended periods. Always know they are getting taken care of and love seeing pics of our boys during their visits! Highly recommend their services (we live in he Shaw neighborhood). read more

Wow, wow, wow... Soulard Pet Sitters is the best! We decided to ditch the kennel this past Christmas when we were out of town visiting the in laws in DC. Our dog had been acting weird after we kenneled him during Thanksgiving so we knew it was time for a change. Enter Soulard Pet Sitters. Convenient and friendly, Derek met with us beforehand and was always available for any questions. Our dog got two visits per day for feedings and walks. He loved it!!! And we got updates/photos after each visit. It also gave us piece of mind that our house was checked on. I can't say enough great things about this service and we are definitely going to be regular customers!! read more

Until recently, I've always been fortunate to have gracious neighbors to watch my furry friends when I've had to travel. My two girls are Great Pyrenees and look and sound intimidating, however, from the last week in June through the second weekend in July they are complete cowards. Pansies, Big Babies, WIMPS. The faintest audible hint of a firework exploding 5 blocks away and they both run for cover. Forget about going for a walk, just getting them outside should be considered a victory. So, when I was scheduled for a business trip the week leading up to the fourth of July, I grimaced and began looking for a professional. I decided to try Soulard Pet Sitters after reviewing their website, which had indicated that an interview prior to using the service was required. This, to me, was a good indication that they had the pet's best interest in mind. During my trip, I received daily updates and photos of my girls while I was away and although it made me miss them even more, it also assured me that they were being nurtured in my absence. Derek was able to get them outside each time and my intimidating pansies had a great time. Truely Awesome Pet People. read more

Derek and Dana are absolutely fabulous! I couldn't have found a better pet sitter for my yorkie, Chopper! Chopper just loves them both! Previous to finding Soulard Pet Sitters, I had to kennel Chopper, and I would come home, and he would be hoarse from barking so much, and it took days for him to be back to normal. Now with Soulard Pet Sitters, it's like I was never gone! Thanks again for the fabulous service! read more

Reliable, attentive, and reasonably priced. Initially, I felt a bit nervous leaving my cat in the care of a perfect stranger, but having now employed the services of Soulard Pet Sitters, I must say that any misgivings on my part were entirely misplaced. I contacted Derek, the proprietor, one week prior to my vacation. He connected me immediately with his associate Daria, who cared for my cat while I was away. Daria sent me a text message update after every one of her visits and even included photos of my cat to better ease my mind. When I came home, my cat seemed as happy and healthy as though I hadn't been gone at all. I would recommend Soulard Pet Sitters to anyone in need of sitting services while away on travel. read more

Daria is a godsend! Twice now when my boyfriend and I have had to leave town, she's watched our two kitties and done a fantastic job. One of our cats is not super social, and she LOVES Daria. So much so that when she came to get the key, our cat came running to her - she doesn't do that for anyone! That's how you know your animals are being well loved in your absence. I don't have to stress, knowing that my babies are being taken care of. And she comes to your house! No worrying about upsetting your animals by having to board them somewhere. Also, it's incredibly simple to set up - now that we're acquainted, all I had to do was text to set up a house sitting arrangement for 8 days. I don't know what I'd do without Daria and Soulard Pet Sitters. If you're looking over your pet sitter options, pick this one. Trust me. read more

Soulard Pet Sitters are the best! They are reliable, affordable, courteous and truly care about our pets. Their service area includes Downtown loft apartments and high-rises like ours and we really appreciate theIr "extras" like picking up our mail and sending us photos of our kitties. We highly recommend them! read more

Soulard Pet Sitters are a life saver for me. As someone who has a job that involves 70% travel, my dog and I rely on them heavily to get through the month without any issues. They are always attentive to our needs and my ever changing schedule. I also have an older dog and the ability for him to stay at his own home while I'm traveling greatly reduces the amount of stress on him. The prices are in line with all of the other doggy day cares in the area. Not having to worry about dropping him off somewhere when I'm running late to the airport, or late pickup fees when I'm delayed getting back to town reduces the stress on me. Derek is great, and his employee Daria is just as fantastic. I use them exclusively for any dog care needs I have. read more

Soulard Pet Sitters is hands down the BEST! Derek is simply amazing--and so easy to work with. He walked my dog- Max - daily for the last two years, and the only reason we stopped using this service, is because we moved. I know there is NO WAY I'll find anyone as good - and accommodating - as Derek. I would often call or text him because a last minute thing came up at work-- and he never turned down a second walk for Max--even with little to no notice. I loved getting the daily texts--most of the time with pics-- of Max out enjoying his walk. Seriously, if you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further! Derek and Soulard Pet Sitters is the best choice. They treat you and your pet like family. None. Better. Thanks! Joy read more
