3. Anne C.
“We highly recommend Anne!! She really went the extra mile taking care of our sweet but slightly shy kitty Jelly. We got lots of updates and photos from their visits, and Anne spent some extra time with Jelly to give her the chance to warm up. By the end of their time together Jelly was really comfortable with Anne. You can tell she really cares about animals and did a great job for us! We look forward to having you take care of Jelly again in the future, Anne! Thank you for everything!”

6. Cassandra F.
About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!

9. Kimberly Z.
“Animals have been a big part of Kimberly life. She enjoys her animals and gives them everything they need. Keeping these animals healthy is also an important part. She’s also involved with several rescue organizations, where she participates in foster care. She enjoys working with the animals as well as going out on outings and even as far some of them going on vacations with her. Animals safety and happiness is paramount.”
10. Kristina C.
“Katt watched my two dogs and one ferret. She was wonderful. It was great to have a farent (farent parent) watch my little guy. Most people don't really know what they are doing with exotics. It was cool to hear she has experience with snakes too. I didn't need her for that, but my neighbor did so it was super handy. Very sweet girl.”

14. Julia P.
“Julia was everything we could wish for in a cat sitter and more! She communicated well from the initial inquiry throughout the entire visit, including sending us pictures of our cat and letting us know how she was doing. Julia has a ton of experience caring for animals and cats especially, and didn't bat an eye when I explained the unusual feeding routine or medicine needs of our cat. I highly recommend Julia for anyone in the Springfield area. You are in safe hands!”
15. Ilia K.
“Simba fell in love with Ilia immediately!!! So happy !”
16. Rachel B.
“I left my dog Ako and my rabbit Hopi in Rachel's care at my home in the Basque Country and never had a doubt that they were in great hands. I love the connection that Ako and Rachel have - they enjoyed their walks and play time. I would recommend using Rachel as a pet and housesitter as she takes care of your loved ones as they are her own. Several times she helped me out last minute when I realized I would not be home in time to walk him or feed them. Not having to worry or think twice about what was going on at home was a great relief. Thanks again, Rachel!”
17. Alexis B.
“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”
