Dog Walking Possum Trot

About: I’ve grown up with animals & love being with them. All breeds, no discrimation here! I never get tired of playing with them & treat every pet as if they were my own. I have 10+ years experience in the pet sitting for friends/family & have always had all kinds of animals myself. Experience potty training puppies, helping break bad habits of older dogs, administering medications. Experience with pocket pets as well. I’d love to be your sitter! I am out of town 2 weeks out of the month, but otherwise I can do mostly any day at any time. I would love to check in on your pets! Walking, playing, feeding dogs. Playing, feeding, entertaining cats. I can administer any medications that are needed. I always double check that house doors & kennel doors are secured before leaving. I love them like they’re my own!

“Fantastic with my Doberman/Rottweiler mix puppy. Even takes him to a dog park close to the residency for off the leash play time and training.”

About: As a pet parent and a small farmer as well, I believe quality pet care and farm help shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I believe every pet and their needs are different even within their own family. I believe in honoring pet parents wishes and completing my jobs correctly to their specifications. I believe in paying attention to details and providing excellent customer service. You and your pets deserve a reliable, loving sitter and that is me. I believe enrichment (walks, play etc..) is essential to an animal's well being. I believe in treating your pet as family and loving who they are unconditionally. I have a degree in Zoology and have been working with animals professionally for 15 years. I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have experience with cats, birds, small rodents, fish, reptiles, amphibians and farm animals. Caring for your pets is my only job. I enjoy my job and I too am a pet parent so I know how important my job is. I pride myself on my reliability. I will care for your pet as instructed by you and I will treat them like family. I like doing in your home care as it reduces your pet’s stress.

“Chante was wonderful! She took great care of my pups and cat while my husband and I were in town visiting in our RV. She was incredibly accommodating to our crazy schedule and we so appreciate her taking care of our fur babies while we were enjoying Branson.”

About: I love animals and have two dogs of my own, Honey & Daisy. Honey is a rescue Golden Retriever mix and Daisy is a lab mix. I have a house with a huge fenced in backyard. My dogs are very friendly and love to play with new dogs! I am very responsible, trustworthy and reliable. I have always grown up around dogs so I am experienced with taking care of them. I love seeing new dogs and that is what has interested me in being a dog sitter/walker. I have a special love for animals and I will treat every animal as my own and take very good care of them. I am currently available on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday during the summer while my daughter is at school. If needed for other days, my daughter (1 year old) will more than likely be with me so please let me know if that is an issue. I have a fenced in backyard, with two friendly dogs ready to make some new friends. Your furry friend will always be in good hands.

“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”

About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and have come to consider them all a part of the family. From Geckos to Hermits, Fish to Frogs, and Cats to Dogs, I've housed a variety and have loved them all to the core! I am particularly familiar with Medium sized dogs, but I am no stranger to the big, the bad, or the snugly. For cats, I can be a bit squeamish when it comes to litter, but that is nothing a mask or a nose clip won't fix! As a full time college student, online classes allow my schedule to be very flexible. My grades are important, but nothing motivates me more than a happy pet and a satisfied customer! As someone who understands that home is a place to escape the daily riff raff, I am willing to keep visits as quick and simple as possible or as long and engaging as preferred. A meet and greet is encouraged so I can better understand the needs of your pet and so that the pet and I can become familiar.

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

About: i’m open to traveling around springfield to accommodate whatever you need. my experience with dogs goes way beyond casual pet care — during my mom’s cancer journey, i was heavily involved in caring for her great danes and pitbull, so i’m very comfortable handling large breeds, strong personalities, and more involved routines - that time really shaped how i show up as a caregiver. i’m calm, patient, and very tuned into an animal’s behavior and needs — whether that’s high-energy, anxious, protective, or just wanting to be left alone lol. i’m not easily overwhelmed, and i take their safety and comfort seriously. i also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, especially when they’re used to a certain routine. i’m extremely detail-oriented and will follow instructions exactly — feeding schedules, meds, quirks, all of it. what sets me apart is that i don’t just “watch” pets — i care for them in a way that keeps their environment consistent, stress low, and their personality respected. and you’ll always get updates because i know how important that peace of mind is. i am also a regular volunteer with local organization Rescue One! 💜 can't wait to meet you & your fur babies! i currently work full-time as a marketing project coordinator here in springfield, but my schedule is super consistent, which makes pet care easy to plan around. i’m fully available early mornings, evenings, and weekends — aka the exact times most pets need the most attention anyway. honestly, pet care fits really naturally into my routine because i already structure my days around consistency, timing, and attention to detail (very much my job lol). whether it’s early morning drop-ins, evening walks/feeds, or weekend coverage, i’m able to show up reliably and keep things on schedule. i also prioritize making time for it — this isn’t an afterthought for me. i genuinely enjoy it, and i like having that balance outside of my 9–5. so when i’m with your pet, they’re getting my full attention, not me rushing through a checklist to get to the next thing. i’m open to traveling anywhere around the springfield area to accommodate what you need. when i’m in a client’s home, i’m super respectful of your space — i treat it like i would my own and make sure everything stays clean, calm, and exactly how you left it. my approach is really centered on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. i’ll follow any instructions closely — feeding, meds, walk schedules, quirks, all of it — and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment while you’re away. i’m also very mindful of energy and temperament, so whether your pet needs a lot of activity, structured walks, or just a calm presence, i adjust to them. i’m especially great for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, which tends to be when pets need the most consistency anyway with a typical work schedule. overall, i’m not just popping in and out — i’m making sure your pet is cared for in a way that feels familiar, safe, and genuinely attentive, while also respecting your home and any specific expectations you have.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience with Olivia. She went above and beyond caring for my dog and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. Communication was excellent, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with her again!”

They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine!

I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.

We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

About: I have had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.
