House Sitting Grandview

“Brooke is the absolute best!! We traveled to Springfield from the East Coast with our older lab/boxer mix, Charlotte, and needed someone to stay with her in our hotel room for 5 hours while we were away. Charlotte was completely comfortable with her and we were able to enjoy our time out without worrying about her care. Having a trained vet tech watch her made us at ease in using a complete stranger, and once we met her we knew for sure that things would go well. I could not have chosen a better person to stay with our cherished pet! Whenever we return to Springfield, she will be our #1 choice.”

“Mary Ann did an outstanding job caring for our cats. She spent quality time with them, provided frequent updates, and sent plenty of photos throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, it was obvious our cats had been genuinely loved and well cared for—not simply fed and left alone. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly received the attention and affection they needed. I highly recommend Mary Ann to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will care for their pets with the same love, dedication, and attention that an owner would.”

“Abby was wonderful with our dogs. They were happy to see her every night. We got home and everything was great, she even watered my flowers. She sent us pictures and stayed in contact. We will have her again”

“Michele was great! Will definitely look to book again.”

“Andrew was amazing. This was our first time using Rover so we’re unsure at first. We met Andrew before the cancellation window after we booked. Wanted to make sure it would be a good fit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. There was no question after meeting in person that he was exactly what we were looking for to watch our house and pets for 9 days. Would definitely recommend him and will use him again.”

Becca H.

“Very kind, trustworthy attentive and took good care of my spoiled labs. Highly recommend. She stayed overnight with my 2 large labs and did drop in visits during the day. Very glad I chose her. Dogs love her”

About: Trusted Dog Lover (45) Ready to Walk or Watch Your Pup – Offering Loving Care After Losing My Own, Let Me Help with Your Furry Friend! I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend time both in the office and work from home. Can do morning, lunch, after work & overnights. Hey there! I'm all about giving dogs the best care possible. I've got a fenced potty spot at my house and I absolutely love taking pups on walks. Whether your pup needs a quick bathroom break or an energetic walk, I've got you. I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise, have a great time, and come home happy and tired.

“Vernita was great. The only reason I gave her 5 stars is because there are not 6. She took great care of our temperamental, but sweet HUGE dog. (150 lbs Cane Corso) Our dog loves Vernita. Our home loves Vernita. We love Vernita. Use her once, you will never want anyone else again. She is the best.”

“I am always worried when I move to a new area and need to find a sitter. But, I found Jade and she takes wonderful care of my 2 cats. It worked so well, that I invited her back for more stays with my fur babies.”

Lisa B.

“Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.”

About: 🐾 Labor Day bookings are still available! 🐾 We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - small pups and those who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

About: we have pet sit by our selves and together for friends in family since we were in junior high! I have taken care of dogs through pregnancy and during birth. I have potty trained puppies and had them until they passed of old age. We work 4-5 days a week and are looking to help pet owners who need someone to drop by during the week or stay on a weekend. We can come by frequently to let dogs out to potty or give kitties some extra attention. we will put food out at the correct times, make sure water bowls are full, give treats if allowed, and scoop litter boxes if needed! we would love instructions on what you and your pet like best!

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pet. My own dog can be anxious, so I have experience recognizing canine body language, respecting a dog’s boundaries, and helping nervous dogs feel safe without forcing interaction. As a massage therapist, I am patient, calm, observant, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every dog as an individual and will provide reliable walks, plenty of attention, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I am flexible and open to different schedules. Shoot me a message to see what we can arrange for you and your family to accommodate you appropriately. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and the pet’s usual routine. With the owner’s permission, I am also happy to take dogs to parks or on other outings suited to their personality and activity level. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secure, using leashes as directed, and respecting each animal’s boundaries. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photos and updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had pets most of the time myself. At one point I was the proud owner of two dogs and two cats. Three pets traveled internationally with us when we moved ( can’t leave fam behind). I could check on pets before going to work; during lunch hour, or after work and throughout the evenings. During the weekends as well! I love walking the doggies! I have a fenced in yard. I have reliable transportation to and from your home as well. I have a dog at home who loves to play.

“Awesome young lady. Made friends with the dog quickly. Just stopped at her work and the dog loved seeing her. She comes back next month.”

About: I am an instant animal magnet and have lots of love to give. I cared for my own for 13 years. Pets are truly family. I work full time from home and can balance your pet’s care and routines during the week. I can provide full time care on weekends. I will love and care for your pet(s) as if my own. Feeding and activity routines will be maintained to assure feeling safe and calm.

“Anthony is so attentive and wonderful with my dogs! My older dog has some health concerns and he is able to care for her with no problems. I feel so at ease leaving for a trip knowing my dogs are in his care! He has puppy sat for me twice now and I will continue to book him!”

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

About: In my 10 years of pet sitting, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart. From energetic pups to wise senior dogs, I have witnessed the incredible bond that exists between pets and their owners. Through walks in the park, cozy snuggles, and endless playtime, I have come to understand the true joy and responsibility that comes with providing exceptional care for these beloved family members. My carefully crafted schedule for taking care of pups seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, ensuring their needs are met while allowing me to maintain a balanced routine. With a structured approach, I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime sessions, tailored to each dog's unique requirements. This allows me to accommodate their specific needs while still managing my own commitments, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between their well-being and my personal life. This works especially well with my work from home job! At the forefront of my dog sitting service is a steadfast commitment to the safety, trust, and well-being of every dog under my care. I maintain a secure and pet-friendly environment, meticulously inspecting and childproofing the space to eliminate any potential hazards. With a vigilant eye and responsible supervision, I create a space where dogs can freely explore, play, and interact with peace of mind, fostering a trusting bond between myself and these furry companions.
