“I just like to say Kimberly was outstanding. This was our first time leaving our boys with a sitter and this was for two days. Immediately after choosing her she was very responsive and helped to ease the worrying especially for my lady. We made it to Kimberly and dropped off our boys and it was very comforting. Kimberly communicated and provided a pics the two whole days our boys was with her. I highly recommend her if you’re in the Springfield, Illinois area. We definitely use her again when we have come to Springfield for business and have to bring our boys.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters I would say I genuinely love pets as if they are part of my family, I grew up with dogs and have a special love for them I work from home so I am home 24 hours a day and I can use my breaks and lunches to play with and walk my furry love I have a fence yard for multiple furry pets to play and make their own I don't have small children so I look forward to caring and allowing pets to enjoy the space
“Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”

About: I LOVE PETS! I’ve been a volunteer in several roles at the local Animal Protective League and WILD Canine Rescue for more than 15 years, which has provided me with the skills and personality required to be a great and motivated sitter. I provide individualized, loving care to every animal and am passionate about caring for your pet as if they are my own. I have experience in potty/crate training, distribution of doggy and kitty meds, and I have a strong leash hand. I am experienced in caring for critters of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. If you need a pal to lounge with your kitty or an energetic fetch-buddy, I’m your gal. Furthermore, pet etiquette (petiquette, if you will) is of the utmost importance to me— you need not worry about forgotten piles or doggy spats. Your pet will love my personalized attention, fun loving personality, and affinity for treats. Send me a message, let’s talk about how I can help your best friend! Pet care is what I do. When I don’t have Rover clients, I’m probably fostering a homeless animal. All dogs that I bring into my home are dog friendly, and I work very hard to provide the most comfortable atmosphere for every soul that spends time in my home. I currently work full time in an office that is a short 5 minute drive from my home and am committed to regular checkins and lunch hours spent with your pet. I have a fenced in yard, a dog, and a cat. I do require that all of my guests are crate trained (or at least crate-familiar) as safety is my number one concern. My dog is crated during the day, but free to roam the house at night. The cat prefers the solitude of my bedroom and largely ignores canine houseguests. I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood that is very walkable. You can expect your dog to spend their time playing with our ever-growing collection of dog toys, playing fetch in the backyard, going on daily walkies with Spud and I, and resting on any number of couches or dog beds that I have available. Through my work as an animal volunteer, I have contacts at several area vet clinics and grooming facilities and have experience with giving meds and grooming basics.
“Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!”
“Missy and her husband were so warm and welcoming with Kaos. They sent lots of pictures and even got him a Christmas gift since he was there over the holiday. You can feel the love they have for their own pets and they welcomed Kaos into their pack and treated him as one of their own.”
About: Hey, I’m Rob! I work from home, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and have experience with everything from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m great at sticking to routines, giving medication when needed, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. I’m available for bookings between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and I do my best to be flexible! If you need something outside of those hours, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to consider it on a case-by-case basis, and an additional fee may apply. Pickup and drop-off services are also available for an added fee, if that makes things easier for you. I also have a 6-year-old who lives with me half the time—and when he’s here, your pet gets an extra playmate! He loves running around the yard and playing games with the dogs (including some serious couch cuddles). Since I work from home, I’m able to maintain a regular schedule for the pets we care for. I provide regular bathroom breaks, lots of free-roaming time both inside and outside, access to fresh water at all times, and daily walks. I’m used to the zoomies-to-napping cycles! Pets are treated like friends and family here - I am stern but non-violent when directing or correcting their behavior. I will use the commands you’ve trained them to, use the harnesses, collars, and leashes you provide, and feed them only the food/treats you bring. My back yard is safe with a full 6-foot privacy fence and one gate that requires opposable thumbs to open. My Doodle is crate-trained, and uses it when I leave and overnight. I use gates inside my home where needed to keep pets separated or to keep them from accessing things they shouldn’t. You may bring your own crate, check to see if I have one available for your stay, or let me know if your pet is a (house trained) free roamer and I’ll ensure they have safe reign of my home. I also provide regular pictures and updates about your pet’s stay with me.
