About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)
“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!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience with potty training, walking dogs, and administering medications. I also have senior animal experience. I can do most evenings and weekends. I prefer to go to the pets home for their own comfort. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I prefer to take care of the pet in the comfort of their own home, where everything is familiar and less anxiety for the pet as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience training my Labrador through her puppy and adolescent stages. I’m great with both playful puppies and gentle senior pets. I love being active, so walks and outdoor time are always a priority. What sets me apart is my mix of care, patience, and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. Tuesday and Thursday I am available for evenings, along with Friday mornings and some weekends! I do travel during the day which makes pop - ins much more convenient. Whether in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time.
“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!”
“Haley went above and beyond! A third party had left a vital door open and my cat ventured out - Haley let me know immediately, did all the leg work of contacting Rover's support line, got a fb post going, spent a ton of extra time poking around hiding spots outside and even went out and purchased tuna to coax her back home. It was a scary experience but I'm so glad Haley was there for it and that my cat friend is safely home thanks to her efforts with her daught. First time using Rover and glad I did, the support the company offers in this kind of situation is spot on and beyond what I would have expected!”
About: I've always loved all animals. I have not only owned dogs and cats my whole life but have owned ferrets, hedgehogs, birds. I even fostered a baby raccoon once. I am available to house/ pet sit Friday evening through Sunday even. And will be flexible for house/ pet sit other days of the week. I am friendly, professional and flexible. I love animals of all kind. Enjoy going for walks and playing fetch. Also enjoy relaxing around and giving belly rubs. :)
About: Since as early as I can remember I have grown up with dogs, and other animals. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, and some exotic animals as well (small and large animals). I am always ready for a challenge and love spending time with any dog! I have experience in a variety of dog training areas including hunting dogs and service dogs. I am also a pre-veterinary student with basic animal care knowledge! I have worked with a variety of breeds ranging from retrievers and pointers to terriers and toy-breeds. I love working with dogs of all ages and am capable of caring for newborn puppies and your older furry friends! I also have over nine years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience. Caring for pets is one of my passions so it is easy to make it a part of my daily routine, even while I'm working! Please note, I do work full-time and as such my week-day schedule is typically limited but I am happy to discuss specific options. When caring for your pets they become like my own. I supervise outside time, even if there is a fence and always keep them close!
“Maria was wonderful! She did so well with our anxious, elderly cat and was even able to give him medicine twice a day (which he hates) and she took care of our chickens too! Everyone was doing great when we came home, and Maria updated us consistently. 10/10”
“Ilia is a wonderful sitter. In the single night she spent with our cats, they were clearly happy, content and not missing us at all. It is such a gift to have someone like Ilia care for our beloved animals. Thank you.”
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals including farm animals like chickens and goats to typical house pets, Right down to a sugar glider once I have a wonderful schedule that allows me 3 days off. With school getting ready to pick back up again and winter on its way. I'm looking for a little extra income and what better way than to spend some hours with the best things on the planet, pets! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so those are the days I will be available most often. Though, because I don't leave for work until noon, I would be open to morning drop-ins when possible on the weekends. It's important for pets to know they're taken care of fresh food and water. Some play time and company clean litter boxes and walks. Their comfort is key.
“Emily and her sister Gena shared housesitting and cat sitting duties during our recent time away, and we are so grateful to them. They took wonderful care of our cat, Thunder, and the house was so tidy upon our return. They were very communicative and sent pictures which we really appreciated. We are rather needy cat parents, and their great communication and responsiveness squashed any worries we may have had about leaving our cat with a sitter. Thank you, Emily and Gena!”

Olivia F.
“Olivia is amazing with pets!!! I have had Olivia housesit for me several times in the past several years while having dogs in the house. She is loving and cares deeply for animals. What I’ve loved most about her is the connection she seems to have with all animals. I have a, let’s say, more difficult antisocial little dog, but Olivia only saw this as a challenge and made a point of always going out it of her way to make my dog feel that she cared about her. She did so in a quiet patient way, which earned her my dog’s trust. I have never had any issues with Olivia caring for my dogs the many times she took care of them. I’d highly recommend Olivia to take care of your pets!!”

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.”
