Dog Walking Boaz

“Thank you for taking care of our pups. They were so excited to see you each morning, I got pics after each walk, my pups were very tired and happy.”

About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and daily walks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you use at home. My goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. We have a fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I can provide at least one walk each day along with plenty of playtime and attention. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-racking, especially the first time, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout their stay. ❤️ Every dog is different, and I’m happy to learn their routine, personality, favorite things, and little quirks so they can feel right at home while they’re here. I have a fenced yard and will play in the yard with them. I will do prioritize comfort and brain stimulation by allowing for a lot of playtime and walks if your dog allows.

“Breelyn is the best! She always takes such good care of our pup, communicates well, is trustworthy, and makes sure to take lots of great pics! Couldn’t recommend her more.”

About: I have had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.

About: I have experience caring for senior dogs, providing end-of-life care, and administering medications. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I understand the extra patience, compassion, and care that older or medically complex pets may require. I’m also comfortable providing loving, attentive care to pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to giving your pets lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules and will always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a buddy for a walk, someone to keep them company during the day, or some extra cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve! 🐶🐱🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines, pay close attention to their individual needs and behaviors, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise. I’m respectful of your home and your space, and I’ll always treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment while you’re away! 🐾

About: I've taken care of my Chihuahua for 17 years. I also took dog training for a while. I'm super caring and love all animals. I will gladly watch your pet! I currently work remotely, full time so I will be able to take your pet out as much as they need. I am home most of the day. I live in a house with a nice fenced in backyard. My Australian Shepherd, Elsa loves to play fetch outdoors, while my Chihuahua tans in the sun.

About: i’m open to traveling around springfield to accommodate whatever you need. my experience with dogs goes way beyond casual pet care — during my mom’s cancer journey, i was heavily involved in caring for her great danes and pitbull, so i’m very comfortable handling large breeds, strong personalities, and more involved routines - that time really shaped how i show up as a caregiver. i’m calm, patient, and very tuned into an animal’s behavior and needs — whether that’s high-energy, anxious, protective, or just wanting to be left alone lol. i’m not easily overwhelmed, and i take their safety and comfort seriously. i also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, especially when they’re used to a certain routine. i’m extremely detail-oriented and will follow instructions exactly — feeding schedules, meds, quirks, all of it. what sets me apart is that i don’t just “watch” pets — i care for them in a way that keeps their environment consistent, stress low, and their personality respected. and you’ll always get updates because i know how important that peace of mind is. i am also a regular volunteer with local organization Rescue One! 💜 can't wait to meet you & your fur babies! i currently work full-time as a marketing project coordinator here in springfield, but my schedule is super consistent, which makes pet care easy to plan around. i’m fully available early mornings, evenings, and weekends — aka the exact times most pets need the most attention anyway. honestly, pet care fits really naturally into my routine because i already structure my days around consistency, timing, and attention to detail (very much my job lol). whether it’s early morning drop-ins, evening walks/feeds, or weekend coverage, i’m able to show up reliably and keep things on schedule. i also prioritize making time for it — this isn’t an afterthought for me. i genuinely enjoy it, and i like having that balance outside of my 9–5. so when i’m with your pet, they’re getting my full attention, not me rushing through a checklist to get to the next thing. i’m open to traveling anywhere around the springfield area to accommodate what you need. when i’m in a client’s home, i’m super respectful of your space — i treat it like i would my own and make sure everything stays clean, calm, and exactly how you left it. my approach is really centered on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. i’ll follow any instructions closely — feeding, meds, walk schedules, quirks, all of it — and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment while you’re away. i’m also very mindful of energy and temperament, so whether your pet needs a lot of activity, structured walks, or just a calm presence, i adjust to them. i’m especially great for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, which tends to be when pets need the most consistency anyway with a typical work schedule. overall, i’m not just popping in and out — i’m making sure your pet is cared for in a way that feels familiar, safe, and genuinely attentive, while also respecting your home and any specific expectations you have.

About: I have over a decade of personal care with pets of all kinds! Dogs, cats, horses, chameleons, you name it! I also have 4 years of professional experience in doggy daycares around the Springfield metro area. I’m well versed in special diets, administering medication, reading and respecting pet body language, and making sure your furry friend feels as comfortable as possible while they eagerly await your return. While it’s so important for your pet to feel safe and comfortable, it’s important for you to feel the same. That’s why I offer my services out of my home or yours! I can visit once a day, three times a day, or even keep your pet all night! I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furry babies! I can’t wait to meet you :) I am in school and work a part time job! I’m in school Monday-Thursday from 8am to 11am. On Mondays and Tuesdays, I also work from home u til 5pm. While I do have other responsibilities, I will always try to be as flexible as needed in order to make you and your pet feel happy and comfortable. I live in a large apartment near the greenway trails so I have so many things I can show your furry friend! Working from home lets me bend to you and your pets routine as much as I possibly can in my own home, or in yours! I believe pets thrive on a routine and it’s important to me that I’m giving your pets their normal day to day to the best of my ability!
