“We were unsure about boarding in someone else's home, but it was so worth it! Desarea was super flexible and sent updates with pictures which was awesome. The dogs had a good time and were worn out from the fun! It was nice to know they werent kenneled, and slept freely in the house. Would definitely recommend!”


“Sami and Charles took amazing care of Dakota! I loved all the pictures and videos they shared of her while we were gone. Walks, playing with dogs and running around in their yard! I could tell she was having a wonderful time! Sami and Charles were so accommodating and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a sitter 10/10 recommend! Thank you both!”


“Mallory has my highest recommendation. She was very responsive during the booking phase and even agreed to watch my dog for 2 weeks on short notice after my other sitter backed out. Life saver! During the stay, she communicated wonderfully and sent lots of pictures. I will definitely connect with Mallory for future dog sitting needs.”


“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”


“Scout adores this entire family. We do too! Great to work with. Wonderful feeling knowing your pet is loved and cared for when you have to leave town.”


“I can't recommend Olivia enough! She took amazing care of Kingston while I was away, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable the entire time. She was super communicative, sent regular updates and photos, and treated Kingston like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and responsible to watch your dog, Olivia is the one! Thanks again, Olivia”


“Heather was ABSOLUTELY phenomenal with our baby boy, Dobby! He is still a pup and recently adopted by us… so we knew he would need extra love & care. & that’s exactly what heather provided. She sent pics and updates all the time & communicated exceptionally. I will be using Heather again and again & I would recommend her to anyone else as well. Thanks again, Heather!”


“Austin took such great care of my dog; sending pictures and updates to me regularly. My dog was super happy with the attention Austin gave him as he wants constant patting and scratches. Will definitely use Austin for future dog-sitting.”


About: I have had the privilege of growing up with dogs throughout my life, sharing my childhood with seven beloved furry companions. Currently, my husband and I are the proud parents to a two-year-old Rottweiler named Clover and a six-year-old Rottweiler Elza, who are loving, energetic, and intelligent dogs. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs, not only as a pet owner but also by looking after the dogs of our extended families and friends, including watching, house-sitting, and taking dogs on walks when needed. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and a genuine passion for their well-being, I am excited to offer my services to care for your fur babies. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine. I work from home and manage a few side projects and hobbies, which allows me the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood, or just keeping them company while I work, I’m able to stay present and responsive to their needs. I’m also flexible during the day for drop-in visits, making it easy to provide care on a schedule that works best for you and your pet. In our home, we offer both crates and a fenced-in backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet—whether they prefer being indoors or outside. We have two friendly dogs of our own: Clover, a playful two-year-old, and Elza, a gentle six-year-old. They both love the company of other dogs and are always excited to meet new friends. At night, Clover and Elza like to stay out and cuddle, so if your dog enjoys cozy companionship, they’ll feel right at home. That said, if your pup prefers the comfort of a crate, we’re more than happy to make sure they’re settled in and sleeping peacefully.

“Caleb and Mercy were great! The helped me out last minute (literally). My pup seemed to really enjoy to be in their company. He was definitely shown much love with these two and got a lot of exercise in. He was wore out and sleeping as soon as he got in my car from pick up. Caleb and Mercy sent me pictures and kept me updated. I look forward to using them again!”



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.

“Shelby is AWESOME!!! She kept both of our dogs for 10 nights and would send us text messages letting us know how they were doing. She treats them like her own. We will be having our dogs stay with her again soon!!! Definitely 💯!!!!!!”


“We booked Addy last minute after another sitter canceled and she was amazing. I really appreciated how quickly she responded, and she proactively sent pics and updates on our little guy throughout the stay! I could tell he was happy and cared for when we picked him up.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have a rescue dog now and previously cared for my senior dog, who was diabetic with hip issues for over 5 years. I’m confident handling shy rescues, seniors, and pups who need special attention or medication. I’m currently job hunting, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding in my home most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I don’t offer in-home stays, but I’ll make sure your pup gets the same love and care they’d get at home. I currently have one friendly dog and one calm, well-behaved cat who are both used to being around other pets. My home is safe, pet-friendly, and I’m always watching to make sure everyone is comfortable. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I’ll follow any routines or instructions to help them feel right at home. I’ll be moving soon to a home with a fully fenced yard for even more space to play!

About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have some grooming experience, though completely self taught. I used to take care of my puppers hair from baths to hair cuts. I am not a professional groomer, but when it comes to baths I am not at worried about getting a little wet and soapy! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.

“Selena is an amazing sitter. She loved our dogs like they were her own. I was impressed with how she handled the tough stuff: the accidents, separation anxiety, hesitancy of the dogs. We got numerous updates - it felt like we never left them. We will use her services in the future!”


“Mariah is awesome! One of my dogs is slower to become comfortable around new people. Mariah was patient and understanding and was able to get this dog to feel comfortable in a short amount of time. My other dog loves everyone and Mariah was no exception. The updates from Mariah were awesome too. Enough for me to be comfortable with their care and well being, but not so many that I wasn’t able to enjoy my mini vacation. Based on the pictures, I think my girls had a great time. I recommend Mariah and plan to book with her again.”


“Jill was wonderful to work with!”


“Our dogs had a wonderful experience with M&J. They were flexible when our leave time changed. We also got adorable photos of them having fun with their new friends. These two are dog lovers and made our fur babies feel right at home. I wouldn't think twice about booking.”

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.”

Jeslyn M.
“I have know Jeslyn her entire life. Since she was a toddler, she has loved the outdoors and all sorts of animals from wildlife to domesticated. The love and care that she shows even with the wildlife type animals amazes me. I am grateful to her for this because my daughter grew up with her and she has taken on these traits. I, and my family always have Jeslyn take care of our dogs and house sit when we go out of town for the weekend for a softball tournament; which is quite frequent up until Jeslyn grew older and went off to college. No doubt in my mind she is a sound, capable, reliable, and responsible person that I would trust not only my dogs but also my house. She makes sure they are fed, watered and taken out on a regular basis to go to the bathroom. I also love that she interacts with our dogs like family and shows them lots of love and attention. She definitely treats our pets like they are family. I highly recommend her for your future pet needs.”


Brooke B.
“Brooke has watched my dog Rusti many times! He is always excited to see her and you can see on her face she genuinely has a passion for dogs! She not only watches dogs but she loves dogs and cares for them, goes on walks, plays with them and my dog sleeps like a baby at night! I recommend Brooke 100/100!”
