“We were in town for some sightseeing and needed a last minute day care for Gus. Robert was close to our hotel, responded quickly and was very professional. Gus was off and playing upon arrival. Would highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs.”


“Sarah and Todd were quick to respond to our request and so accommodating for our dog during our quick overnight trip to Springfield. They were so communicative and went above and beyond! It was a convenient option that gave us peace of mind and flexibility with limited pet friendly lodging options!”


“Sarah was great with our dog and provided plenty of updates that we enjoyed. She was also flexible with us when some of our travel plans changed. Would book with her again!”


“Pamela made Lucy feel right at home. I really appreciated the meet and greet, where she let Lucy explore her house before her “vacation” with Pamela. She also updated me often and sent me pictures of Lucy enjoying her time. I would definitely trust Pamela with Lucy again!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was very little starting with our family dog: a St. Bernard. From giant to little, I’ve owned and cared for all sizes. Animals are near & dear to my heart. I’m a mom of two daughters and a big cuddlebug bernedoodle and will treat yours as my own! Smoke free home. I work from home three days a week and welcome your pet! I can stop in to check on your pet or your pet can board here. Fur babies are allowed in bed or in crate if you provide the crate. I will happily walk your dog around my neighborhood or yours depending on your determined service. You’ll receive photos while your pet is in my care. Unfenced yard.

About: Hi, I’m Emily and I already love your dog ☺️ Here’s how I know they’ll love it here too: • 12+ years experience caring for dogs • Home all day (work from home) • Large fenced yard • Cozy pet-friendly furniture • Great neighborhood for walks Bonuses: • Hallie (my dog) is ready to play! She’s super friendly. • My 10 year old son is often here and also ready to play! • Your dog may have new nicknames and/or songs about them by the time you pick up • I’m an artist, and I sometimes do pet artwork… 👀 I work from home primarily, so first check my available dates. But I’m flexible so let me know what you need and I’ll do my best to work with you! I have a fenced in yard, a playful dog and son, and lots of cozy spots to relax inside as well! We go on occasional walks as well ☺️


“Valerie took very good care of my cat while I was out of town. Spent personal time with Nebula and sent pictures of them cuddling together. Highly recommend using Valerie if you need a place for your animal to stay.”


“Taylor took exceptional care of our sweet girl while we did a quick trip away! She went above and beyond making her comfortable between fireworks and some rainy weather (both of which make her very anxious). Also we were provided great updates on our pup while we were gone!”


About: I have had babies all my life! If you need a loving home for them to visit while your gone-you found the right person! I have been bringing in babies for others while they are gone on family trips the last 5 years. I currently work part time. This allows me the freedom to help out others that may want to plan a get away. I am will to pick up and bring your baby back. With in reason (30 miles) if further we can set up a meeting point. I have a blue tooth collar for the dogs as I don’t have fenced in area at this time. We are in the country with plenty of room to play!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and currently have one of my own, so caring for them is second nature! I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. We love to play, run around in our large yard, learn new tricks, and go on evening walks. There are also 2 kiddos at home who will make sure your pup is never bored! I work from home with a flexible schedule. The only time I am scheduled to leave the house is to take my kiddo to and from daycare. I am also flexible on if you would like long term or just occasional schedule. My dog is 5, and we have plenty of play time, potty breaks, and an evening walk. I treat any dog in my home as if it were my own! I have 1 dog now, so I am sure their schedules would likely align during the day.

“Wonder experience. Jillian took care of our dogs in her home for 5 days. We are always nervous leaving our boys with anyone but Jillian kept us updated everyday, sent pictures and gave us a sense of comfort so we could relax on our vacation. We got home late and our boys were calm, we'll cared for and happy. Thanks!”


“Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!”


“Bentley loves going over and staying with John. He has a fenced in yard with doggie door. Bentley loves to play with other dogs and always comes home tired and happy. Already have another scheduled time with John.”


About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 7:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 7 and 5 that love nature and animals.

“Natally was amazing to work with! Our dog was very happy during her stay, and we were kept up to date with frequent photos. I would highly recommend Natally for boarding or any other services she offers.”


“Hope was great with my girls. I had just recently moved to the area and found myself in need of a sitter immediately. I was very nervous but luckily my girls had a great time. Thanks for keeping them safe and sound while I was away!”
