“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.”


“Our dogs were in great hands while we were gone. She sent pics and updates which we enjoyed. The dogs looked very content in their new surroundings. I will definitely call Pam whenever we need a pet sitter. She was excellent and the dogs were happy to see us. Thank you so much Pam and family!”


“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 took such great care of Surely! She kept us updated throughout Surely’s stay and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Sarah 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 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.

“They took on my incredibly last minute booking with excitement. Welcomed my in heat female and temperamental male with open arms. Will definitely book again!”


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 ☺️

“I just like to say Kimberly was outstanding. This was our first time leaving our boys with a sitter and this was for two days. Immediately after choosing her she was very responsive and helped to ease the worrying especially for my lady. We made it to Kimberly and dropped off our boys and it was very comforting. Kimberly communicated and provided a pics the two whole days our boys was with her. I highly recommend her if you’re in the Springfield, Illinois area. We definitely use her again when we have come to Springfield for business and have to bring our boys.”



“Valerie is amazing. After a dog sitter canceled mid stay, while we were out of town over 2300 miles away. Valerie came to the rescue. With short notice Valerie was available and made me feel very comfortable leave my fur child with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures she sent of Rocket during his stay. I would 10/10 recommend Valerie. We will for sure be using her again. Very much appreciated!”

“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!

“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!”


About: Hello, Me and my husband love animals and are looking to give them all the love while you are away. I have been watching pets on and off for over 15 years and my husband has helped ever since we’ve been together. We would love to add your family of pets to the list. Please contact me if you are leaving town and need a reliable sitter for your pet(s). They will be given the proper care that you would provide them yourself! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have always grown up around dogs and would not of had it any other way. I have a Beagle that I rescued over 11 years ago named Ernie. He changed my whole perspective on rescued dogs. I found him and two other Beagles one day. The other two found homes right away, but he was injured. I took him in and never looked back. I also took in a dog on a camping trip that was not being treated properly by its owners. After a few tries, I was able to find him the perfect forever home! I hope to provide this service for other strays in the future! My experience administering medication I am perfectly comfortable administering medication. I do this daily for my senior dog. My husband and I will be sharing the responsibility for caring for you pet(s). We are expecting our first child in June and will both be off for several months. This allows us to stop in and check on your pet(s) several times a day! We will make sure your dog gets all the attention they could want when we stop in to care for them. Will do walks and outside time as much as you would like!

“Morty had a great time with Kyle and Lyndzie! They had great communication and shared many pictures with me while I was away keeping my mind at ease. Would recommend!”


“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!”


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.

“Kiba & Leia had a blast!! They’re both currently knocked out after an exciting weekend vacation of playing with other dogs and getting to explore a new house. We definitely recommend leaving your pets with John if you need a sitter!”


“Missy and her husband were so warm and welcoming with Kaos. They sent lots of pictures and even got him a Christmas gift since he was there over the holiday. You can feel the love they have for their own pets and they welcomed Kaos into their pack and treated him as one of their own.”


About: I have always grown up with pets! From cats to dogs to hamsters, everything between! I currently have two cats of my own that are my entire world so I know what it feels like to trust others to take care of your fur babies :) I do work full time, but I am available early mornings, late evenings, and full availability on weekends to hangout with any and all friends! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll stick to your pet’s schedule, keep things neat, send plenty of updates, and make sure your furry friend gets all the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone.
