“Brooke did an excellent job with our dog. She met with us before our appointment for a meet and greet. Our pup came back relaxed and happy at the end of each day. We received pictures, video, and updates. Great communication throughout the whole process. We will be utilizing Brooke’s services again.”


“I’ve been using Heather’s pet sitting services 2–3x/week for over 2 years now. She is the absolute best. She will provide such loving, enriching care for your dog. My dog is exhausted from all the play and excitement when I come to pick her up, and that’s exactly what she needs because she doesn’t get enough of that otherwise. Heather has gone out of her way countless times to make sure my dog is taken care of. I’d never consider another dog sitter at this point unless I absolutely had to.”


“Ashleigh was great with our 2 doggies! We can tell she has a very tender heart for animals. She kept us informed all during their stay and even sent pictures. We highly recommend her! Jay & Carol M”


About: Welcome to the Lapdog Lounge!! I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, with many years dedicated to small breeds—especially Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. I understand their quirky, lovable personalities and the extra TLC they sometimes need to feel safe and at home. I genuinely enjoy helping petite pups feel secure, cherished, and comfortable—whether we’re snuggling on the couch or just keeping each other company. Because I focus on caring for small dogs in my home, I welcome small breeds of all kinds under 25 pounds. This helps ensure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and able to relax in a cozy, low-stress environment where little dogs can truly thrive. I take a limited number of guests so I can provide the best care - booking are first come, first served once confirmed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home almost all the time, so your pet will never feel alone or forgotten. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I love providing attention, structure, and affection—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or cozy companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. From a secure setup to thoughtful routines, here’s what you can expect when your pup stays at the Lapdog Lounge: • 🏡 A fully fenced, secure backyard for safe (and supervised!) zoomies • 🚧 A baby-gated setup indoors so I always know who’s where—no sneaky escapes here! • 👀 Outdoor time is always chaperoned—nobody’s out there alone • 🐾 Dogs get let out every couple hours for potty breaks, fresh air, and a good stretch—and they can always ask to go out whenever they need to! • 🍽️ Mealtimes are separate to keep things calm and cozy—every pup eats in peace • 🚫 No human food—just the treats your pup is used to (plus I’ve got plenty on hand if you’re okay with sharing!) • 💤 A dedicated doggy sleep room where pups can snooze however they’re most comfy—bed, crate, or snuggled up with me and my crew • 🌙 Dogs are never left alone overnight—everyone gets tucked in safe and sound • ⏰ I’m happy to follow any special routines or schedules your pup needs to feel at home

“Kaitlin was amazing! She immediately put me at ease and sent me updates and pictures! She knows dogs and was so wonderful, I couldn’t ask for better! My Rosie had a wonderful day, thank you so much!”


“Our dogs are like our babies, and leaving them with someone else really scared us, but Amanda made it all super easy, Lilo and Lola connected with Amanda and with her family and felt right at home, we 100% recommend her to take care of your dog, we will definitely bring our babies to Amanda again. She kept us posted all day, understood their body language, pampered them and was amazing with them, when we pick them up they were calm and happy. Great experience, if you are looking for someone to care for your dogs Amanda is the one!”


“Cortney was very friendly, and she took great care of our two energetic dogs! Her place is clean and she was able to care for multiple dogs very well. She communicated well and promptly returned messages and also sent multiple pictures and a video. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”


“Jill is a treasure! She's great with my dog, who loves her and got so excited to come back to her house. She sends lots of pictures and updates which I love. I highly recommend her!”


“Jackie and Michael were so great with my high maintenance young doberman! Although we live hours away, I would make the drive and use them again in a heartbeat. I’ve never seen my dog so at home with someone else. I highly recommend them!”


“Raquel was so great with our 4mo old puppy during our first doggy daycare. She helped her socialize with the other dogs and was very mindful of size/age differences and always had a safety-first mindset. We loved the picture updates and video messages to put our minds at ease for our first day away from our fur-baby. Can't wait to use Raquel again in the future. Thanks!”


“Gretchen took in our Xena for daycare at the last minute - for which we were very grateful! She and her husband were great - very communicative and kind. Xena was in good hands and had a good time with their dogs. Highly recommend!”



About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.

“Mickayla was amazing with my dog. She was very accommodating to my drop off and pick up times, sent many photos of my dog having a fantastic time and was wonderful to communicate with. Would recommend to anyone!”


“So happy with this sitter, she kept good care of our Doodle while we made our last minute stop at Lamberts on our trip to Missouri! She was a great communicator and shared photos and logged his walk during his stay.”


“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Wow! She was so incredible with both my dogs, especially my problem child little Biewer who thinks she runs everyone and everything. She did just as I suggested with the Biewer, just deal with her as though you've always known her (without hesitation). Even with her two dogs, neither of our dogs had any issues. If anyone is hesitant about leaving your babies with someone, rest assured she will protect and care for your babies as you would ypurself.bWe will definitely be back!”


About: I grew up with dogs and currently have three of my own. Other than taking care of my own, I have fed and walked dogs for other neighbors and friends. I believe dogs are a part of the family. I understand the level of love and care your pet needs. I currently work from home, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dogs! I am available to let your pup have needed potty breaks, play time, and walking throughout the day. My house has its own dog room where your dogs can play, nap, and be in a safe space. If crates are preferred, we can crate them in this dog room, or if the weather is pleasant, we can crate them in the garage. We have .5 acre lot where the dogs can roam under my supervision. Me and my husband have three dogs who love to play and meet other dogs. We have plenty of toys and much love to give to your pup! I know updates are very important for your peace of mind, so I will keep in touch with you sending pictures and updates throughout their time with me.

Meredith C.
“Meredith has been our pet sitter for a couple of years. We moved to Springfield In 2018. We do not have any family here, but was lucky to be introduced to Meredith and her family. Meredith is so sweet, kind, trusting and very importantly loves all animals. She has watched our pets many times over the years. I tell her, I believe the pets like when we go out of town because Meredith comes overs and spoils them. I highly recommend Meredith to my friends when they need a pet sitter. She’s so responsible and trusting. When she takes care of our pets while we are out of town, we don’t have to worry about them, we know they are in wonderful, loving and caring hands.”

Marlow had an awesome time with Mickayla and her pups. She even had another puppy booked which Marlow became best buds with. Mickayla sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day and Marlow came home so tired. Thankful Mickayla was so flexible with my work schedule and took such great care of Marlow!
