Top rated Springfield cat sitters
“Ariana was the best! Right away she told me that my cats were beautiful, and she seemed genuinely excited to watch them. She sent me updates and pictures every time she went over to my house, and I could tell that my cats were in good hands the whole time! They all came out for her, which does not always happen, so they could tell she was a good one!”
“Loralei took good care of my two senior dogs for an extended weekend. She followed the detailed instructions I left and kept me updated after each visit. It was my first-time using a dogsitter who wasn’t a friend or family. So I really appreciated how friendly and patient Loralei was with both me and the dogs. I will definitely reach out to her if I need a dogsitter in the future.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing. I had a cat with health issues and I was so so nervous to leave her. By the second day, I felt I had left her in the perfect hands. Sarah took time every day to find each one of my 3 cats and cater to each of their needs. She texted pictures and funny stories. She even broke though to my most aloof cat. Amazing! I will ABSOLUTELY be using her again and she comes with my HIGHEST of recommendations. Thank you!!!”
“Mary is fantastic! She is so patient and loving especially with skittish, surly cats! My cat Kaleb never takes to anyone and when he came back from all of the other places he was skinny, had lost a lot of his fur and took a long time to get back to his old self. With Mary he warmed up to her in about 2 days and even rubbed her leg. When I came to pick him up he was down for the night and very comfortable, understandably he did not want to come with me and that has never happened before. He loves it there and so do I! Mary and Dana are the absolute best out there! I most definitely will book with her again and again and again..”

About: I’ve owned animals all of my life, and currently have 2 dogs of my own, one which I adopted as an older rescue. I spent several years working as a vet assistant, which included walking and taking care of boarded animals. I also have no problem administering medications as needed. I am also a former marine animal caretaker, at the New Orleans aquarium (10 years). I use this app to have my dogs walked if needed, and I’d be happy to do the same for anyone in my area. I work from home 3 days a week, so I could also pet sit in my home for the day! I would love to walk your dogs, take care of your cat, or even dog sit for the day in my home most days of the week (S,M,W,F,S). I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I have a large fenced yard where your baby can run, a kennel inside only if needed, otherwise they will be cool and comfy with me and my fur babies inside. My dogs welcome other dogs, and they would have a great time under my supervision. I would be home the entire time your dog(s) are visiting.
