Becoming a mom—whether it’s your first time or you’re adding to the pack—is a beautiful whirlwind. There’s joy, anticipation, nesting mode... and let’s not forget the exhaustion. In the middle of baby prep, doctor’s visits, and those 3 a.m. feedings, your four-legged family members still need love, walks, and clean litter boxes. That’s where we come in.

At House of Paws Pet Care, we specialize in making life smoother for new and expecting mamas across St. Louis by keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy—so you can catch your breath.
Goodbye Litter Duty, Hello Clean Air
Let’s face it: scooping the litter box might not be on your pregnancy-safe to-do list—and once baby arrives, it’s probably not on your “I have time for this” list either. Our litter box scooping service is here to keep your cat’s bathroom clean, fresh, and under control. No bending, no dust clouds, and no worries—just one less chore on your plate.
Walks That Work with Your Schedule (Not Against It)
Your dog still needs their daily exercise, even when you’re running on two hours of sleep. We offer flexible dog walking services that keep your pup happy, healthy, and tuckered out. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer stroll around your St. Louis neighborhood, we bring the energy so you don’t have to. Bonus: A tired pup is a calm pup when you’re trying to get the baby down for a nap.
And when nap time isn’t going as planned and you need a last-minute walk to regain your sanity? We’ve got your back with responsive, compassionate support that’s only a message away.
On Call for Labor Day (Your Personal One, Not the Holiday)
We’re no strangers to the unpredictability of labor. If you need someone to step in fast when it’s time to head to the hospital, we’re ready to be on standby. We’ll make sure your pets are cared for with love and consistency, even if you’re focused on bringing a new human into the world. Whether it’s a pre-scheduled plan or a middle-of-the-night “it’s happening” moment, we’re just a call away.
We’re Basically Your Pet’s Favorite Backup Parent
The truth is, adding a baby to your family is a big adjustment—for everyone, pets included. Dogs might get a little clingy. Cats might act a little confused. We’re here to smooth the transition with playtime, cuddles, and a familiar routine that helps your pets feel secure while your world shifts in the best way.
From baby showers to delivery day and all the sweet chaos that follows, we’re the quiet background support system that keeps your household balanced. When we’re on the job, you get to focus on the first giggles and baby milestones, knowing your pets are in loving hands.

Motherhood is a full-time job (with zero bathroom breaks). But just because you’re holding it all together doesn’t mean your pup should have to!
