House Sitting Everton

“Laura is so great. She gives us comfort when we travel because we know our kitties and home are in good hands. Communicative, caring, and such a nice person!”

Katie N.

“Samantha was truly exceptional and went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she treated our home and pets as if they were her own, showing an incredible level of care, responsibility, and attention to detail. She kept us regularly updated with thoughtful messages and photos, handled everything seamlessly, and even took care of extra things we didn’t expect or ask for. It was clear that she genuinely cares and takes pride in what she does. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a spotless house—honestly better than we left it. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust, Samantha is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and will absolutely be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Garrett was amazing! He kept my dogs happy and sent updates frequently. He’s a lifesaver!!”

Dustin S.

“Samantha was so great with our dogs and took great care of our place, too, while she stayed with them overnight. She sent us updates and communicated well about questions etc. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”

“We could not be more pleased with Jonna. She kept us informed with just enough texts and pictures that we knew thery were being well cared for. One example included "We all fell asleep on the couch last night." We knew all was well as that is typical of my wife and her "babies". We will would give 10 stars if we could.”

About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

“Reanna was fantastic for dogsitting and gave plenty of updates and pictures throughout the weekend of her overnight stays at my house. My dogs loved her too! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of farms for over 2 weeks at a time, including cats and dogs! No animal is too much!! I’ve also pet sit for families around my area from quite sometime now! I’m currently working overnights at a hospital in town, so if you are needing your pet watched during the day I’m your gal! Cats and Dogs!! I have a cat at the moment he is good with all animals and children, I promise to give your pet just as much love as I give mine!

“Had Sherrie a couple of times, my dogs love her and she always keeps the photos and videos coming which I love. Very respectful of my home and plan on using her again”

Rebecca B.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid! I absolutely love pets and have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can help with potty training, crate training, and obedience training. I will also send pictures and videos for peace of mind because everyone deserves that! I treat everyone’s animals like I would treat my own. I can’t wait to help you all with your pets. I currently clean homes for a living. I’m home a lot and could watch anyone’s pets whenever. I also have a husband who can help and a 7 year old kiddo who loves pets and would love your animals like her own. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your animals company. We can also crate your fur baby if needed or ours no problem.

“Rachael was wonderful. The animals all seemed happy when we returned home. Rachael left the house clean and locked. Rachael is very personable with us and the animals.”

Tina F.

About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.

About: I have 4 of my own dogs at home, I love hanging out with them and taking care of them but I do know that life gets busy and when your away you need someone to come and watch them for you! I get up in the morning and right away I take my dogs out and feed them and I take them out through out the day and feed them at night! I am able to feed them and watch them, my favorite thing to do is play with dogs! I also love giving them baths, and I love going on walks and it makes it so much more fun when you bring a dog along!

“Laura treated our dogs well. She sent us pictures thru ought the weekend which was nice. And they seemed very happy when we got home. Plus she was an excellent house guest by washing the sheets and towels before we got home.”

Debbie L.

“Stephanie is the best pet sitter we've ever had! She went above and beyond when one of our dogs had a medical situation and likely saved his life. Calm, pleasant, super responsive to calls and texts both! The house was immaculate and our other pups and kitties super calm and happy. Really caring! We can't thank her enough, and will surely invite her back. Fenway, Scooter and Sally say "4 paws up!"”

About: I’m an animal science major with lots of different animal experience! I foster with local shelters, extern at a local veterinary office, and pride myself in research/care I’ve taken with my own animals and others. I’m currently a full time student MSU. Most of my classes are first thing in the morning, then I’m available for the rest of the day. I have a completely fenced 1 acre yard with 3 personal dogs who are completely used to new interesting dogs from previous fosters. I kennel all of my dogs and all meals are given separated. No animal in my house is left alone together unsupervised.

“Brinkley was amazing she took fantastic care of our animals, was very good with communicating with us, and left the house in better condition then when she arrived. Thank you so much for everything and we highly recommend her.”

About: My 14 year old dachshund passed away last spring. I was unsure of jumping right back in so we fostered. Charlie, my dachshund was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! I do not want the responsibility of more than one dog as an owner but Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I always need an appointment prior, it’s hard to say yes in a last minute booking unless I have had the dog prior. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. Honestly I have never been a dog sitter to anyone professionally. It's always been a family and friends deal for free or trade. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.

About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.
