“Katie is a kind, trustworthy animal caretaker. She takes such good care of our cats, including a diabetic cat who requires insulin shots. We highly recommend her services and will certainly request her services again whenever we leave town! Thanks, Katie, from us and the cats!”

“Meggie was the ABSOLUTE BEST! We were gone for an extended time and she dropped in on our two cats each day and provided great updates and pictures. She absolutely put us at ease being away for so long and communicated everything so well. We will absolutely be using her in the future when we are away. Could not recommend more!”

“Madison did a great job taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. I came home to them happy, healthy, and well cared for. She made sure they got their walks in and went above and beyond by drying them off afterward when needed. She even helped bring in my mail while I was gone. I really appreciate the extra effort and peace of mind she gave me. Madison rocks, and I’d definitely recommend her!”

“Laura was the BEST! Our pups were extremely happy when we got back home. She definitely went the extra mile and we will be back to rebook with her again.”

About: While I don't have formal experience, I've spent my whole life taking care of pets at home. I've even raised our current pups from puppies to adulthood, handling everything from feeding to playtime. My goal is to treat every pet like part of the family. I'm currently a college student down in Springfield, but whenever I'm back in town for breaks or summer, I will have a fairly flexible schedule! I'm available on the weekends, evenings, and soon to be during the weekdays as well! Every pet deserves the family treatment! I'm careful to follow their set routines and rules - whether it's playtime, feeding, or crate time. Your pet's safety always comes first!

About: I provide dependable, caring pet care with a focus on keeping pets comfortable and following their normal routines while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and overnight stays. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m comfortable caring for multiple-pet households and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets and home are being looked after. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekends. During house-sitting stays, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I may leave during the day for other commitments, but I’ll make sure your pets receive the care, attention, and breaks we agree on before your booking. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, crates, doors, gates, and any special needs. I treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any important safety information so I can provide the best care possible.

“Jacqueline is outstanding! She took great care of our furbabies while we were out of town. She gave medication as prescribed and sent us pictures along with a report card every visit. Thank you so much, Jacqueline!!”

About: I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats who need a little extra attention. Through caring for my own pets and pet sitting for family over the years, I’ve gained experience following feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, monitoring behavior for any changes, and making sure pets stay comfortable and stress-free in their own homes. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that’s caring for a playful kitten, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or keeping an active dog on their normal routine. I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s care instructions so they receive the same love, patience, and quality of care they’re used to while you’re away. I’m committed to being as flexible as possible for you and your pets. My schedule allows me to be available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need a last-minute visit, regular drop-ins, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I’m happy to accommodate your needs whenever possible. You can count on me to provide reliable, dependable care and keep your pets happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in an apartment along side my two cat companions. There is always room for more to stay, as well as a dog area at my complex.

About: I am a supervisor at an animal rescue where we frequently leash walk out dogs. I do daily care and give daily medications to dogs every day. I also bring my own bags to clean up after dogs on walks. If your dog is not totally leash trained I can help with that! I can give work references with how I care for animals. I know it can be hard trying to find someone who you can trust with your pet, since they are part of the family, but I can be your girl. I will treat them as if they are my own. It’s a huge part of my life so it has just become second nature to me. I just schedule everything and make sure I give myself enough time for each animal. I always start off by having them go potty, either a walk or in a fenced yard. Of course check the pets water and make sure there are no messes to clean.

About: I have genuine hand on experience with a multitude of animals and their needs. I feel comfortable giving medication as needed, taking an animal out on walks or to a pet store. I keep the pet on routine with what they normally know, trying to cause as little disruptions as possible. I make sure to give the dog space at their home so they know they are safe with someone new while they warm up to me. Because I’m already tuned into the needs of animals 24/7, adding another pet to the mix feels natural and exciting—not like extra work. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or just giving lots of love and attention, I'm already doing those things daily, and I genuinely enjoy it. I offer overnight pet care, weekend or extended stay care, and per request care. I get a good pet profile from the owner so I know about the animal before meeting them and know what to do to make them comfortable or what to look for if needed. I offer day before meets so the pet can get comfortable meeting me before pet care starts. If I do single services, I will make sure the pet has their basic needs met before leaving, as well as any additional requests that might be needed. All owners also get updates on their pet, as well as when pet care is over for the day/ booking if I leave before they arrive.

About: I have loved dogs since I was a child. As a pre-teen, I used to go to my neighbors' homes to take their dogs for walks. Then, in 1993, my parents finally gave me my first dog—a black English Cocker Spaniel. I haven't been without dogs since. The first one was stolen when he was a year old. The second, another black Cocker, lived for 14 years. During that time, I also had a Yorkshire Terrier who lived to be 17. Currently, I have a 12-year-old female Papillon who came with me from Brazil a little over two years ago. I am Brazilian and qualified as a veterinarian in 2003. I spent six years working in a clinic treating dogs before switching to a different area of ​​veterinary practice for personal reasons. Since moving to the US, I have been a full-time mom, as my youngest daughter is not yet school-age. I believe a meet-and-greet is beneficial for both parties; it’s a time for pets and their owners to get to know me better, and for me to get to know the pet (I like to fill out a form during this time to record details about them). I understand that just like us, dogs need regular walks to stay happy, healthy and mentally stimulated. If life gets busy and you're unable to take your pup out as often as you'd like, I'd be happy to help. I also offer loving in-home care for pets who prefer to stay cozy and comfortable in their own home while you're away. Services offered: dog walker, boarding, drop-in visits and doggy day care. I offer other pet services upon request. I am currently a full-time mother and homemaker, so I do not have a job that keeps me away from home for long stretches at a time. I have a friendly 12-year-old female dog, but she doesn't know how to play with other dogs; she’s a companion for quiet moments rather than playtime. I have three children—aged 4, 6, and 9—who adore dogs and love playing with them. I live in a house without a fenced yard. The raised deck has a gate and is a spot where my dog ​​likes to hang out and watch the activity. I’ve installed a 34-inch removable fence in a small area where a dog can be left without constant supervision (provided they aren't a climber or a jumper).

About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.

About: I grew up with three dogs and trained them to do the basics. I love animals of all sizes, not just dogs. I don’t have much experience with other animals but would love to learn and be as much help as possible! I currently work a full time job however my hours have been cut to part time hours so my availability is pretty open. Unfortunately my job is not a set 9-5 Mon. through Fri. There is a mid sized dog park at my apartment complex however I cannot bring my animal inside my apartment. I can definitely travel to your home and take care of your animal is one long stay or visits. And I also love taking dogs on walks so that is no problem as well.

About: With over 10+ years of experience and two miniature dachshunds of my own, I offer personalized, loving care that prioritizes your pet’s happiness and well-being.

We have a fenced in back yard and go on daily walks when the weather permits.

“Excellent sitter! She always sends pictures and videos. She follows my directions exactly. I feel very comfortable leaving her to check in on and feed my cats. She has even gotten one of my cats to come out. Normally this cat won’t come out for strangers. I will definitely use Ashley every time I’m gone.”
