“Heather was fantastic! I needed a last minute booking and she and her family were superb. My pup came home so happy and content!! Thank you!! Would recommend Heather to everyone.”
“We appreciated Amira so much for taking care of our two rabble-rousers. She provided a comforting presence and I could see they felt completely at home, which isn’t an easy task. In addition, we reached out midway through their stay and she responded immediately- this gave us peace of mind as well. Thank you!”
“Carmela was super nice with my elder dog. My chihuahua suffered violence from a teenager and now his behavior is not the best. Carmela was so comprehensive and knew how to manage him to keep him feel safe in her home. I am so thankful that she received my baby in her home for the time I had to travel.”
“Minnie had a great stay with Glorymar, and her dog Buddy was also a great host, helping my dog who can be shy around people feel right at home for the weekend. My dog can be bossy with other dogs and Buddy let Minnie be the leader of the pack. Glorymar’s neighborhood is great for dog walks. I would definitely rebook next time I’m in Springfield.”
“Great experience having Taiyo stay with Sarah. Very prompt communication, extremely friendly and clearly evident from talking to her that she treats guests pups with as much care and attention as she does her own. Her easygoing approach gave me incredible piece of mind that is invaluable when leaving your fur babies behind on vacation. Will absolutely be booking again and would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Apparently Nova enjoyed her stay with Jess because she seemed confused when she had to go home. She looked good and her coat was brushed being a BC that's a necessity. Jess took great care of my pup and I'm sure she's looking forward to visiting again. I will definitely hire Jess again when I get another chance to get away. Thank you so much.”
“Taylor and his wife were absolutely wonderful with my 2 girls! He updated me on how they did and their behavior and you can tell they really love dogs. Their 2 dogs are also well behaved and very sweet. I really like how open there home is so there’s lots of space for the dogs to run around, plus a nice backyard. Thank you guys!”
“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”
“A safe, loving place to leave our pup! They take such good care of our dog, and Sophie seems right at home with them and their own two pups. We love having this wonderful option so close to home.”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“I booked a trip last minute - Darlene was extremely accommodating with timing and took great care of our dog Bear! She took amazing pictures, had a yard for the dog to play in, and made me feel reassured about leaving our dog in her care. I will definitely rebook if I am back in the area!”
“Chris is the perfect dog sitting. She was caring and intuitive to Charlotte’s needs. Charlotte’s care was like a doggie vacation. She had walks, playtime and a new friend to play with. Charlotte was made to feel comfortable within Chris’ home. Also, I enjoyed glimpses of her visit via photos/ videos. It was a great experience. Thank you, Chris”
About: I have always been around animals since day one! They are the light of my life and my furever passion. Following years of veterinary internships, I had worked as a VCA kennel technician, caring for animals during their overnight stay. Throughout my time, I worked with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, ensuring they felt safe, loved, and right at home ❤️. I have training in various fields, including medication administration, animal behavior and hygiene, and nutrition. I have experience working with young, adult, and senior animals. During my time as a zoo intern, I also had the opportunity to care for exotic animals (including reptiles, amphibians, rodents, insects, birds, and mammals). My daily tasks would often consist of socializing, feeding, cleaning, and grooming the animals. I would also administer medication when necessary and lots of love and attention. I genuinely love what I do, and I always coordinate with owners to guarantee exceptional care for their furry (scaley or feathery) loved ones. I currently work full-time but have flexibility at night and on the weekends. I am available for most if not all holidays! I will make sure to keep an updated schedule! I have a large, fenced in backyard and two friendly cats at home. I live in a quiet, residential neighborhood, providing a safe environment to go on walks. I have a spacious house with only adults. I will care for your pet as instructed, including specific diets and training. I am also experienced in grooming and have an at-home salon!
“Adam was fantastic! Quick and clear communication from the initial message all the way to pick up. Adam was very friendly and has an immaculate house, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for the long weekend. His dog Rocky was friendly as well and was a great playmate for my dog Max. I will definitely be booking with Adam again!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!
“Shane and Allison were great! My dogs both required oral medications that they had no problems with. They sent regular photo updates and were easy to communicate with. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Reichel was absolutely amazing! She was absolutely amazing with Frank! From the start, they were communicative, punctual, and so kind. I really appreciated the photo updates and detailed check-ins—it gave me total peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and cared for. Frank came back relaxed and clearly well-loved and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Kim watched our elderly Yorkie while we were away for a week. She was always quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had leading up to his stay. During our time away, she stayed in touch and sent pictures. She informed us that our dog was comfortable and already into a routine which we were so happy to hear since we know how anxious he can be when he is away from home. We felt at peace while away. We will DEFINITELY book her again!!!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I currently have two golden retrievers and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience watching both dogs and cats for others and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family — honestly, I like animals more than humans. I work full time, but I’m only a couple minutes from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come home during the day when needed and can also work remotely at times, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs to help keep your fur baby company if they enjoy socializing. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am comfortable caring for animals of all breeds and sizes. Pets are welcome on the furniture and bed because we believe they deserve to feel at home and loved while you’re away. My husband and I both have so much love to give, and we’re always happy to provide cuddles, attention, and companionship if your pet enjoys affection.

Aishea was wonderful with my dogs! They had never been properly socialized around other dogs and she was able to get them to join the pack and have fun! One of my dogs can go on a hunger strike when I leave but he ate by days 2 with her. She sent photos and updates during the week they were with her and took them on walks. Her house is set up perfectly with multiple rooms for the dogs to occupy (inside!) and a large fenced in backyard for running, lounging and playing. I was very grateful that she took such good care of them.
Joseirys M. was absolutely amazing with our dog Django. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Django is a rescue and can be pretty anxious and fearful around new people, so we’re always very careful about who we leave him with. From the moment he was with Joseirys, it was clear she has a natural understanding of dogs and how to make them feel safe. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive, and Django quickly became comfortable in a way that honestly surprised us. What really stood out was how well she adapted—not just to Django’s needs, but to our schedule as well while we were in LA. She was communicative, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Django was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and treats your pet like their own, I highly recommend Joseirys. We will definitely be booking with her again.
Itzel was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Huey, over the Christmas period. She was very responsive both prior to and during his stay. I received daily updates and Huey seemed to be a big fan of their long walks, play time, and midday naps. Would definitely recommend Itzel to anyone searching for a quality sitter in the Austin area and will hopefully be able to rebook for future stays!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
