“Julissa was wonderful! We have a lot of pets and she handled everyone with ease. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you so much!”

“Haley is just the best. She truly understands both my dog’s needs and mine! She knows the breed well, has taken the time to learn his quirks, and manages him with love and care. Her communication is always clear and effective – she keeps me updated on how my dog is doing and lets me know about any issues on at the house. I always feel at ease knowing Haley is taking care of him.”

“Audrey is wonderful! She kept my little senior cat so happy and content during my trip. Jasmine is very social and Audrey sent me wonderful photos of her each day, as well as a report that she was doing well. Jasmine needs medication and Audrey took care of that as well!”

“Mary was a literal godsend. We booked her kind of last minute for a 4 day weekend and she was an absolute rockstar!! She was great with our animals, very respectful and clear with her communication. She did exactly what we agreed too and even went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our pets were well cared for and safe. We even had an incident were one of the dogs was refusing to go back inside when the visit time was over and instead of getting frustrated and upset, she remained professional and was extremely smart in managing the situation and getting it under control. We would absolutely use her again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true pro in animal care.”

About: As someone who has grown up always having dogs and cats, I know how important it is to have someone who is comfortable and loves being around animals to take care of them. I have been dog sitting family friends’s dogs and pets since I was 19. I work Monday-Friday on a 9-3:30 schedule. I am available before work and after 3:30 during the week. During the summer I will have more availability. I think it’s important to build trust with animals by providing them the space they need, especially when you’re someone new to them. I care for my own pets by spending quality time with them by taking them on walks (dogs, or even cats if that’s what you are looking for too!) and with my own pets, giving them lots of love and affection and an occasional treat (or 2.)

“Georgia was great during her 32-day house and pet-sitting stay. I can't recommend her enough. We felt completely at ease leaving our home and dogs in her care. She's trustworthy, communicates well, and clearly knows what she's doing with pets. Our dogs are usually off their game after we've been away for a few days, but they seemed totally normal when we got back. The house was well taken care of and exactly as we left it. We'll definitely book Georgia again and suggest you do the same if you get the chance.”

“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”

About: I've built a reputation in the Springfield area for being reliable, patient, and great at creating routines while helping local families. I'm bringing that same dedication and clear communication to caring for pets. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I love giving them proper exercise and attention during walks or drop-ins, and will always send photo updates so you know your fur baby is happy and safe.I'm super excited to love and care for your fur babies trust and believe that! I’m available all day on weekends for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. On weekdays, I offer early morning care (as early as 4-5 AM for drop-offs or pickups) and evening availability after 5 PM. Overnight boarding is welcome any night of the week — I can return your pet as early as you need in the morning. I am unavailable on weekdays from 7:30 am - 4:30 pm. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run and play safely, and two friendly dogs at home who love company. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding times, medications, crate preferences, whatever you need. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I’ll send photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing.

“Bella enjoyed having Riley around. We felt comfortable leaving Bella in Riley's care.”

About: I have done both walking and house sitting for family and neighbors for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown breed. While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired

About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.

“Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕”

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”

Deb C.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and over that span of time have been held responsible for over 25 dogs and cats with neighbors coming back for care. I’m currently working part-time hours since I’m a full-time college student but in my spare time I would love to take care of your pets. I can maintain a safe environment , removing any hazards and ensuring door and gates are closed. As well as keeping you updated on your pets well-being and giving your pet lots of love:)

“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”

John M.

“We were so fortunate to find Deborah when our planned sitter had a conflict come up and none of our friends were available either. Deborah was attentive to my concerns, followed my very specific instructions about caring for our four cats, and communicated and sent photos regularly. She also took excellent care of our home. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a great cat and house sitter.”

About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.

About: I currently only do Day Care because I have a Full-Time job. I am availaible for doggy daycare 7 days a week. (All day Mondays & Tuesdays) (10am-7pm, Wednesday-Sundays) as I work overnights those days. I apologize in advance if you come across my profile looking for boarding, or any other service I usually do. I can always work around my FT job schedule if needed. Your pet(s) will always have 100% of my attention, we will go for 30 minute to an hour walk as often as possible. I always let them on my bed and furniture if you allow them to. I can easily crate your pets if needed. I do not drive so I unfortunately cannot pick-up/drop-off your pets. I always walk them on a leash. All pets are allowed on furniture.
