“Alison was wonderful with our guy. I had a readjusted schedule, but she was very gracious in finding a way to make things work!! I'd recommend Alison to anyone needing a gentle caring hand. Thank you Alison!!”
2. Dana P.
“Dana was a wonderful cat sitter! She was very communicative while we were away. Our cats are particularly shy with new people. Dana was very patient and willing to try different strategies to make sure both of our cats were eating and well. We highly recommend her!”
3. Julia P.
“Julia was everything we could wish for in a cat sitter and more! She communicated well from the initial inquiry throughout the entire visit, including sending us pictures of our cat and letting us know how she was doing. Julia has a ton of experience caring for animals and cats especially, and didn't bat an eye when I explained the unusual feeding routine or medicine needs of our cat. I highly recommend Julia for anyone in the Springfield area. You are in safe hands!”
4. Jessica W.
“This is the very first time I've used this service and had a really positive experience with the service Jessica provided. She took such nice care of my two cats for the 5 days. Will be traveling again so now I have a trusted resource for my two furry kids. Thanks Jessica! Charlie and Dash thank you too!”
5. Christina M.
About: I have feeding, walking, playing and poop cleaning experience. I have been around small and large, young and old dogs most of my life. I know all are different in their needs but they all need love and I can provide that. I have no other job so I have all the time needed for your pet. I'm available days, nights, weekends and emergency care available. I haven't had a pet not like me yet. I can follow any routine already set in place. I can give extra time and love to any animal. I will not take the care of your member of the family lightly.
6. Kristina C.
“Katt watched my two dogs and one ferret. She was wonderful. It was great to have a farent (farent parent) watch my little guy. Most people don't really know what they are doing with exotics. It was cool to hear she has experience with snakes too. I didn't need her for that, but my neighbor did so it was super handy. Very sweet girl.”

13. Denise O.
About: I knew from an early age I wanted to work with animals. I started horseback riding lessons when I was ten and went on to working off my lessons by caring for the lesson horses. This led me to manage a boarding barn and earn my riding instructor license. When I moved to VT I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats. This inspired me to go back to college for a degree in Veterinary Technology. I worked as a Certified Vet Tech for 12 yrs. Now I would like to focus on working from home and helping pets be comfortable and safe when their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.
14. Giuliana C.
“I went on a ski trip with my family and we needed somebody to look after our dog at the hotel while we skied. I am so happy we found Giuliana who is trustworthy and reliable. Plans ended up changing last minute but she was extremely flexible and understanding. In addition to this she was so sweet to Denali. We came back to a smiling pupper:)”
