1. Danielle G.
“She did a great job walking my dog around our neighborhood and listening to my instructions. We are looking forward to seeing her weekly as the weather warms!”
2. Emma H.
“Emma is just GREAT! I had hip replacement surgery and wasn't sure when I would be able to walk the boys myself. She was very accommodating with me adding weeks until I felt I could do it myself. The boys absolutely adore her. She communicates very well about things that happen on the walks. I highly recommend Emma and will have her walk the boys when needed again.”
3. Hilary F.
“Hilary has been very reliable, professional and kind every time we have used her to watch our two dogs. Both of our dogs naturally warm up to her whenever they see her. She is always communicative and considerate. Great sitter!”
4. Michelle T.
“Michelle has taken care of my French Bulldog, and she has done an amazing job! She is so caring and devoted to animals, and this shows in the way she cares for them. Michelle follows instructions very well, as my Frenchie had medications he needed to take daily and other limitations to his care, and she followed all of these things very well! I do not trust my French Bulldog to simply anybody because he is high maintenance, but I would definitely trust him again with Michelle. Michelle has a great personality as well with animals. She is loving, friendly, and playful, which I think animals perceive and enjoy. I have seen her interact with various animals ranging from cats, dogs, to exotic birds, and she is consistent with every species. I would highly recommend Michelle for your pet services!”

“Alicia goes above and beyond for our little dog. He is blind and she helps him navigate his surroundings on his own time and pace. She is amazing!”
7. Andrea & Edwin G.
“I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!”
8. Meghan O.

She has never mistreated a dog and is the person eveyerone leaves their dogs with if they go on vacation or something similar.”
11. Carol F.

She is an animal lover, very attentive to their very specific needs -one of my cats is not a big eater, while the other eats too much...-, she makes them company while I am gone, etc. She will follow instructions regarding feeding, play, house care, etc. My apartment is always pristine when I am back and my cats are not even mad, as she spends some time with day everyday. I would highly recommend her services!”

About: Hello! As someone who has grown up around all different kinds of dogs, I would love to get to meet and care for yours! I have been dog-sitting since I was 11 for my neighbors and gradually expanded to incorporate many families pets in my hometown, Springfield, Missouri! As a college student, I’m excited for the opportunity to continue this with your furry friends! I’m experienced with small and large dogs as well as both puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with dogs that are quick to aggression as long as I am wanted before! I’m currently a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a very flexible schedule. I am available at any point in the day for drop ins as well as overnight stays! I am comfortable and experienced in crating dogs, as well as working with dogs that are quick to aggression. I will abide by any household rules and guidelines as well as ask questions for clarification if needed to make sure your pets get the best care and you feel comfortable leaving them with me!
