Dog Walking Springfield

About: I’m a background-checked veteran and experienced pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals. As a service dog handler, I pay close attention to routines, body language, and safety, so your pet is always in good hands. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs; puppies, high-energy pups, anxious dogs, and seniors who need a slower, more gentle approach. I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will get plenty of attention, structured walks, and a calm, clean environment. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing exactly how they’re doing. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for pet and total peace of mind for you. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I plan my day around the animals I’m responsible for. I focus on reliable, punctual service and consistent routines so your pet gets calm, structured care every visit. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care in both my home and my clients’ homes. As a background-checked veteran and service dog handler, I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. You’ll receive daily photo updates and messages so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.

“Michelle was able to take on our last minute booking and was very helpful and responsive to our requests. She took great care of our pups. I would definitely recommend her services”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. I am so grateful to say I've never gone a full year without a fur baby in my life! Having had many pet dogs and cats over the years, I am very experienced with both puppies and full grown dogs and cats. I am currently a full-time student at Southeastern Louisiana University about to start my Master's in counseling. I am available Monday through Thursday to care for pets before and after school, Fridays, and Saturdays! I treat pets with the same respect and care that I do humans. It is so important to me to help bring joy and safety to the animals I care for. Cleanliness, timeliness, and communication are also important to me and I prioritize them on every visit.

“Alex is fantastic. She was so good with my pup. She asked questions about his temperament and personality, she listened to my instructions about how to greet him because we’re working with another trainer; the whole nine. She brought my pup back and he whined when she was leaving like watched her car and whined. He was so happy to be with her and he came back so tired!! I will absolutely continue to use Alex and would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”

“Sarah and Russell made everything so easy! Quick response, easy to talk to, comfortable, and Herschel took to them quickly! They came over for a meet and greet at our convenience and stayed for a while getting to know our baby and talking about our likes and dislikes for our Herschel. They did drop ins to feed him, let him out, and some play time. They sent photos and updates! We are planning a play date with thier dogs so we can possibley let Herschel stay with them next time. Now my husband and I are actually looking forward to another get away knowing we have reliable doggie sitters!”

About: I am well versed in anything that includes animals. My father has owned a dog business for over 15 years and I have helped him throughout my whole life. I am also very well versed in horses and work for a couple people around their barn! I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I also work a few jobs but that doesn’t interfere with my scheduling. I have a fenced in yard with my own fur baby to keep your company! My roommate also has her own fur baby who will be happy to mingle with yours.

About: I have experience caring for both puppies and adult dogs of all breeds, including those with special medical needs that require medication. I’m also very comfortable with shy or timid dogs and always take a patient, gentle approach to help them feel safe and at ease. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I pride myself on being reliable and punctual. Although I work full-time, I have flexibility throughout the day to ensure your dog’s needs are met, including extra care or attention when needed. My home is pet-friendly and welcoming, with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pups, helping create a calm and social environment where visiting dogs can feel at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make sure my dog gets at least an hour of exercise every day, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or a mix of both. On weekends, I love taking my pup on longer adventures or extended walks to keep things fun and enriching. Caring for pets isn’t something I have to “fit in”—it’s a priority and an enjoyable part of my lifestyle. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with a fenced backyard for play and plenty of supervised attention throughout the day. I make sure visiting dogs feel comfortable and cared for, whether that’s through regular walks, playtime, or simply giving them the affection they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent and familiar. That includes feeding, exercise, administering medications if needed, and, of course, spending quality time with them so they feel secure while their family is away. My goal in either setting is to give pets the same love and attention I give my own.

About: Along with my 2 current dogs, I also grew up with multiple dogs and cats, and volunteered alongside my family with dog rescues and adoption agencies. The type of person that if I see an animal on the side of the road - I will always stop to help where needed. I work full time during the week, so I am looking to help out on weekends or for short stops in the afternoons on weekdays. I have a very secure fenced in yard that is about 85% covered by surveillance cameras equipped with motion detection, as well as an additional enclosed area with doggy door. My dogs roam free at all times and can go potty when they want, and I let them into the yard to run around while I am home. I am totally open to crating your pup if needed, but my dogs will not be crated, as they both have weak bladders and will potty inside if not given full access to doggy door. I feed my friends twice a day and incorporate their meds as needed - so I understand having complex feeding routines. As far as visits go - I understand dog body language as well as how to respond with my own body language.

About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I take most of my courses online so I am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with. My yard is unfenced, so pups will be supervised when playing outside. I can crate your pup throughout the night if needed.

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.
