House Sitting in Russ

“Victoria was wonderful with my crazy dog. He is a little high strung so it was great that she took some extra time to get the attention he needed. I was reassured knowing that he was getting great care while I was away. ”

About: I am an attorney with a love for animals. My two cats are my entire world and I know how it important it is that they receive the best care possible. I grew up around dogs and cats but also had hamsters, tarantulas, turtles, fish, and frogs. I am a lover of anything furry, feathered, or scalely!! I have a flexible work schedule and can make most things work depending on your pets unique needs and routine. I am comfortable administering medication. I am not open to boarding but am comfortable doing check-ins on your companion as needed. I am committed to providing the best possible care to your family member.

“Heaven was great at watching our 4 cats and 2 dogs in our home while we spent a week in Florida! It was our first try at using Rover to book someone to watch our pets in our home and we are very pleased. Heaven stayed in touch with us during our trip to ask question and provide updates and took great care of our pets and house. We will be using her again on future trips.”

About: Running a rescue has provided me the unique ability to work with many different types of dogs. It has provided understanding and experince that can put your mind at ease. I have experience with behavioral dogs, and anxious dogs. Currently able to be flexible, since I work part time with a rescue. I can manage your house as needed for your pets! Located in Marshfield I can travel up to 30 miles. In home services provide your pet with security while you’re gone. They do not have to leave and you can be assured they are well taken care of.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of friend’s, family’s and my own cats and dogs since I was a kid. I’m gentle and patient with all animals and have years of experience with many different cats and dogs. I work part time with a very flexible schedule and mostly from home so I have plenty of time for overnight stays or to check in on a pet multiple times a day! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting in others homes and I am very flexible when it comes to working around you and your pets schedules and your house rules.

About: I’ve taken care of farms for over 2 weeks at a time, including cats and dogs! No animal is too much!! I’ve also pet sit for families around my area from quite sometime now! I’m currently working overnights at a hospital in town, so if you are needing your pet watched during the day I’m your gal! Cats and Dogs!! I have a cat at the moment he is good with all animals and children, I promise to give your pet just as much love as I give mine!

About: I stand out because I offer dependable, personalized care that fits each pet’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable with young pets that need extra patience, consistency, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior pets that may need a gentler pace, medication support, and close attention to comfort and mobility. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and happy, while giving owners regular updates and peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making time for consistent walks, feeding, and calm, attentive companionship. I’m home often with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide steady care throughout the day and a peaceful, secure environment overnight. Whether it’s daytime visits or extended stays, I focus on creating a balanced, comforting routine so each pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home. I care for pets with a calm, attentive approach, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar space. In my home, I create a peaceful, balanced environment with consistent routines, cozy spaces to relax, and plenty of gentle attention so pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m mindful of their individual needs, energy levels, and preferences, making sure they have the right mix of activity and rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine to help them feel secure and at ease. I respect your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide dependable, loving companionship while you’re away. My goal in both settings is to create a steady, comforting experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: My 14 year old dachshund passed away last spring. I was unsure of jumping right back in so we fostered. Charlie, my dachshund was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! I do not want the responsibility of more than one dog as an owner but Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I always need an appointment prior, it’s hard to say yes in a last minute booking unless I have had the dog prior. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. Honestly I have never been a dog sitter to anyone professionally. It's always been a family and friends deal for free or trade. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.
