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.

“Laura is the best sitter! We could not ask for a better one!”

“Jodi did a wonderful job caring for our dogs, Maggie and Louie! She kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both pups were happy and relaxed when we returned. She also left our home in great order and even took the sheets off the bed before we got back, which was such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. We’re grateful for her care and look forward to having her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.

About: I would love to dog sit for you! I have a dog of my own and I’ve helped raise dogs all of my life. I love playing with high energy dogs as well as lounging around with the older ones. I have taken care of many friends and family’s dogs and I enjoy it! I can also help with basic training such as “sit, stay, and shake”. I work a part time job that allows me to have flexibility so I am available anytime with the exception of 2-4 hour jobs that I may have in the mornings/afternoons on some days. You can trust me with your fur babies while you are gone! I love animals and I would never hurt them. I have helped take care of animals my whole life so I can handle tough situations. I am also very responsible in remembering medications that your pet may need and when to feed/ take out to potty/ and play with them.

About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.

“Brooke had to go through a severe storm at our house that took out power to half of the city. She kept Belle, who is terrified of storms, comfortable and safe until we were able to get home hours later. We can't thank her enough.”

“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!"”

“Olivia was absolutely amazing. Went above and beyond! Thank you!”

Renee M.

“Sammy is the best sitter! My dog is generally anxious and struggles with separation, but he is always content and happy when I return because of the attention and love he receives from Sammy. She’s my go-to and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Chante kept Belle safe and comfortable while we were away at a wedding.”

About: Had multiple dogs over the years ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own, ages five and six years old. I work three days a week at the hospital. Allowing me to able to spend my days off playing and taking care of pets in the area. I don’t have a fenced in backyard, but I make sure my dogs get enough exercise by taking them on walks. My dogs are potty trained and let me know when they need to go out. I overall just make sure they are well loved and taken care of.

“Breelyn is just awesome! She’s always on time and takes great care of our cats. We love that she sends updates and photos and allows us to enjoy our vacation without the worry! We will continue to have her cat sit for us and hope everyone else gives her a shot! Thanks Breelyn!”

About: I have owned animals my entire life. For the last 2 years, I have been a traveling pet sitter with Trusted House Sitters where I have had over 20 5 Star Sits. I have worked with a local animal rescue so I am used to all breeds, sizes, age and personalities. Big or small I will love your dog. I am a remote worker so I can adjust my schedule to meet your animal’s schedule. I offer drop in services or I can stay in your home so your pets schedule is not interrupted. I love to keep pets in their own environment and on their schedule. I love walking dogs - it helps me to get my daily steps in. Tummy rubs and playtime are also a necessity.

About: My mom had pets growing up ever have had everything from hamsters to dogs do cats two turkeys and any animals I don’t have experience with I am eager to learn about. I will take care of your pets as my own while following all of your requirements to make this a positive experience for all involved. I’m not working at the moment so I have open availability. Due to my rental I will only be able to come to your homes to take care of your pets. I make sure each of my pets and clients are well looked after, fed and watered and enriched every day. I enjoy walks and playing with your pets and I am able to handle emergencies if they come up.

About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!

“Michaela was wonderful with my dogs. You can tell she really cares about them. My dogs warmed up nicely to her, and they sometimes have a hard time warming up to new people. I am very thankful for her watching my home and my fur babies. We will be rebooking with her!”
