“Hayden is the most professional and dog-loving care provider I have met in Springfield. He and his wife were incredibly accommodating to our schedule and took extra care of our dog during the July 4th holiday. Our dog is afraid of fireworks and Hayden made her feel very comfortable and safe. I would without hesitation send Paris for more doggy day care and pet sitting. If you love your pooch, I'd recommend you do the same. He is without question one of the best in Springfield.”
“Best doggy sitter ever we highly recommend them! They took such good care of our pups! And sends photos of pups!! Our dogs will definitely be coming back!”
“Jesus watched my Melvin last minute which was very helpful! He was a great communicator and always replied fast. It’s always nerve racking to have to leave your dog with a new sitter but Jesus made me feel better by sending photos through out the day even for the short amount of time he had Melvin. Would definitely use him again!”
“These have been the greatest people ever to watch our boy! They are compassionate and take very good care! We had an unexpected delay in our travel and they worked with us tremendously! 10/10 recommend!”
“Brittany and her husband were amazing. The night before our dog got out and cut his ear and had to have stitches and they did hesitate to help our puppy out despite the extra care that he needed and even though we were very late getting him to their house they were always upbeat and flexible as updates came in and never made us feel anything but certainty our sweet pup was being cared for. I can't recommend highly enough.”
“Darlene was wonderful caring for our two dogs. They had never been away from us and we didn’t know how well they would respond. Darlene was exceptional when dealing with our one dog especially because he had separation anxiety the first night but Darlene was able to make him feel secure. The fact they both still ate okay was so reassuring. She sent us regular updates and pictures which is very important in helping owners feel secure about your pets safety and comfort. It made our short vacation so much less stressful knowing our pets were in good hands. Darlene’s setup with a nice green area fully fenced in was perfect and our dogs. We would definitely recommend Darlene with no hesitation.”
“Katlin is the best dog sitter we’ve ever used. The dogs were well cared for and we received constant updates on the dog’s eating and care. I would recommend Katlin and plan to use her again. Clean home with a huge yard for the dogs to play.”
“Caitlin was so wonderful. I could tell right away she was a dog person! Basil had a fun sleepover with her and it was so nice to know he was being well cared for. I loved that she sent me photos! ”
“Great sitter and person. She went above and beyond when our chunky pug ate all of her food😂. She also send tons of pics. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Lili was amazing! My dogs felt right at home and I didn’t worry about them while I was away. She communicated and sent pics throughout Jude and River’s stay. They will be back to stay with her and her husband for sure!”
“If she will have him, I would ask Marluce to look after Rizzo again. He was very happy in her home with her dog and husband. He loved her big backyard. (We live in apartment.) Rizzo is a very active, excitable dog but Marluce provided a safe and peaceful place for him. Her calm and soft-spoken personality were good for him. Try her. I know you won’t be disappointed.”
“Melissa was so great with our dog. We received many updates, and she was so quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog for boarding or daycare. We will be booking with her again soon”
“Melody is an absolute gem! Many, many thanks to Melody (and her husband, Sean) for welcoming our pups into their home and for providing such great care, love, and attention during their stay.”
“Elaina took such great care of our Stella! She consistently sent updated pictures and videos of Stella and provided daily updates on her well-being. Stella received lots of loving attention just like at her home. We felt happy that Stella acted and looked very happy in every pic that was sent. Stella came back clean, and calm seemed to be so relaxed. We will be using Elaina again!! Great backyard for an active dog like Stella. She seemed to have made a new friend with "Bug", their dog and their sweet two-year-old daughter.”
“Kallie is very kind and very knowledgeable about dogs. My Charlie was given a lot of attention and excellent care during his stay in her home. I amany photos daily, which eliminated my anxiety about leaving him in someone else's home. I will definitely hire Kallie again to keep my Charlie when I have to travel.”
“Jared was fantastic with my 2 pups! He watched them for a two night stay and was kind enough to accommodate an extra night at the last minute. Jude and River both came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. You can tell he genuinely enjoys animals and understands how to handle their different personalities. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jared again!”
“Mercedes doggysat our Sophia for 2 nights. She sent us sweet pictures and updates during our time away. With each picture I could see that our sweet maltipoo was so happy and felt comfortable where she was. A home away from home :) We felt complete peace knowing our Sophia was in such loving hands. We will definitely be requesting Mercedes to watch Sophia in the future. Definitely recommend!”
“Monty was well taken care of enjoyed all the attention. I will be using her again soon for our next trip. My doggie even hesitated on getting in our truck as he loved playing with her daughter. I was extremely pleased ?”
“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”
About: I'm offering small dog, under 15 lbs and cat sitting in my home where lots of love and care are the priority. Chloe my 13 year old Shih Tzu Maltese has lived with kitties her entire life. I work from home and pets have always been a huge part of my life. Taking care of their daily needs comes natural and is always the priority and gives me lots of joy. If you're ok with your doggie running around the house enjoying their day that's what you'll find here. Doggies & kitties can enjoy outdoor views from the large picture window that provides great entertainment. Back yard has a fenced in area for outdoor potty breaks and outdoor playtime. For cat boarding I have six spacious cat condos with lofts that can comfortably accommodate two kitties. Each condo is facing a large picture window that provides a peaceful environment for a kitty's home away from home loving stay. Lots of kitty attention and love included.
