House Sitting East Springfield

“Eryn was amazing dog sitting at my house. I was very worried about my nervous pup, how he would be for the week; but apparently as soon as I left, he was fine! I especially am grateful for Eryn extending her stay unexpectedly, when I had flight delays and could not get home in time for the original time. She even handled the huge snow storm like a pro, because she is. My pups very obviously adore her and I hope to hire her again soon!”

“This was our second time having Julissa watch our pups, and she was great again! She’s communicative, sends regular updates, and we always feel like our dogs are in good hands with her. We’d definitely recommend Julissa and would happily book with her again!”

Michael S.

“One of the best and thorough dog-sitters to date. You would be foolish not to hire her. I got regular updates and communications about my pup, down the consistency of his poop. The best! Hire her! She is the “Dog Nanny” “period”!!!!!!”

“Ace is our go to person for our very anxious yet adorable Beagle. Our pup is so well taken care of by Ace. We have no worries when they are on the job!”

“Molly was wonderful with our high needs elderly dog. Molly was communicative, responsive, and sent many updates and photos throughout the day. We hope to have Molly watch our dog again and highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Having Julie G house sit and care for my 85 lb. hound Dave was dreamlike. She seemed to accept and appreciate Dave and his coonhound ways seamlessly from the jump. She took copious notes about Da daily needs and expectations at the meet & greet, asked intelligent questions about his routine and I was able to leave town completely confident Dave was in good loving hands. She sent me daily pics and reports while I was away, and left Dave mellower and the house cleaner than it was when I left. A terrific experience from my perspective Can't recommend Julie G strongly enough as a house and hound sitter.”

“We have only been away from our fur babies one time in all of the years that we have had them. They are both rescues and came from horrific pasts. The one time that we were away, a familiar family member stayed overnight with them. That being said, the decision to leave our fur babies (and our home) in the care of someone who was unfamiliar to them and us was a very stressful and uncomfortable feeling. After reading/reviewing numerous profiles and talking to/meeting with a few potential sitters, we were blessed to meet Georgia. We felt it was a perfect fit, on our end, shortly after she arrived at our home for the initial visit. Watching how Georgia interacted with our high energy and anxious dogs was heartwarming. Also, the fact that she was not bothered by Gunner's tearing/suckling of his blanket (which he has done since we rescued him and prior due to his anxiety) was a relief. Gunner and Zohie (as well as myself) immediately picked up Georgia's calmness and friendly nature. Georgia was extremely patient and open with me while I bombarded her with question after question and detail after detail about our dogs. At the end of our first meeting, I nervously asked Georgia if she thought she would want to take the responsibility of caring for our dogs and home while we were away. When Georgia said she was willing to take care of them, it was such a relief. Then I asked Georgia to come and spend more time with them/us again, prior to the overnight. She said, "Yes, of course!" and I felt that we had hit the jackpot! Prior to and during the stay, Georgia responded quickly to my numerous messages/questions/check ins. She sent us pics and kept us updated. When we returned home, our house was exactly as we left it and the dogs behaved as though we were not away. This made us feel as though they were comfortable and relaxed with Georgia while we were away. Georgia is truly invested in building relationships with pet owners as well as the pets. It is clear that Georgia cares about her responsibilities, loves animals, and takes this position seriously. She is a true gem and we are already talking about going away again very soon.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have owned dogs since I was 8 years old. Growing up, I helped care for them every day, including walking, feeding, basic training, playtime, and making sure they stayed happy and active. Over the years, I've also cared for neighbors' and friends' dogs through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, overnight stays, and house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own. I understand that each pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to provide attentive, loving care while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra playtime, companionship while you're away, or consistent care in their familiar environment, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care around my classes. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and quality time with pets throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after while their owners are away. I provide pets with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets receive plenty of companionship and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a safe, welcoming environment with lots of supervision and care. I also have a very friendly Chihuahua mix who enjoys the company of other dogs and can provide a great playmate and companion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home

“James and Reichel were awesome! We’re new to the house / overnight sitting so we were apprehensive about our pet with strangers but James and Reichel were so accommodating, professional and incredibly responsive. The initial meet and greet with our pet was so helpful and definitely put us at ease before we left for vacation. Woody loved them! We received pictures and videos daily for updates and they responded immediately with any questions we had! We would highly recommend them to anyone that needs them!”

“We booked Brianna last minute. She made time to come and meet with us and our pup. She took great care of Roscoe and our home. Sent lots of pictures and was good with communication. Recommended!”

“Charlie had another great stay with Jessica. She was attentive to him, letting us know his chronic cough was increasing. She managed it well, professionally and patiently, with permission from us to give an extra dose of one of his medications. She communicated with us throughout the stay-”

“Alissa is a thoughtful dependable pet sitter. I know my dogs are in great hands and she adjusts her approach between my active dog and my older dog which is wonderful.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, from growing up with a Labrador to caring for my own pets. With five years working in a grooming salon, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of all dogs, such as playful puppies, adult dogs, and seniors alike. I’m passionate about providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality and health. I’m currently a part-time PetSmart employee and a college student, which means I have weekday afternoons available for pet care. Weekends aren’t always ideal, but I’m happy to discuss arrangements and see what’s possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine so your pet feels comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs; whether it’s helping a puppy burn off energy, giving extra patience to a shy dog, or offering gentle care for seniors. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
