Cat Sitting Springfield

“Katelyn did a great job taking care of all of our pets. We appreciated the updates daily and she even left them treats! I felt like she was willing to go above and beyond in terms of being helpful. We will definitely book with her again the next time there is a need!”

“She took great care of my cat while I was out of town! She sent lots of photos and was very quick to respond to messages. She also went out of her way to take out my trash and sweep the floors so I could come back to a clean home! I’m glad that Momo was able to make a new friend!!”

“Anna is my go to anytime I’m out of town! We recently added a new kitten to our pets and he instantly loved her, not to mention the fact that my shy cat has began to trust her. She always updates me and sends lots of pictures, I can’t imagine leaving my cats with anyone else!”

About: I have had dogs since I was little I know the in and outs of raising puppies and kittens. My family currently has 4 dogs and 7 cats. We also have a ton of farm animals! I know how to take care of small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, and gerbils! I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I know how to break up potential dog fights and how to take extra caution while walking a reactive dog. I am an 18 year old college student, and I have a very flexible schedule! I am currently an unemployed college student so any time I don’t have class I’m available! Monday & Wednesday: 6am-9am, 11am-Noon, 1:30pm-Midnight Tuesday: 6am-11:45am, 2:15pm-Midnight Thursday: 6am-9am, 11am-Noon, 2:15-Midnight Friday-Sunday: 6am-Midnight I will only be able to care for your animals in your home, the dorms do not allow pets, but I am willing to take dogs out on adventures to different parks around the area if you are okay with them being in my car. I use a seatbelt leash for any dogs, I do not let pets be unrestrained in my vehicle but I am also willing to just take them on a walk around the neighborhood! I am able to come for any feeding times and just to let them out to go potty and run around the yard!

About: I’ve had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, rabbits, even birds! No matter the animal I’ve made sure they live a full and happy life as long as I can. I’m a college student at MSU so I am free when I am not in class or participating in after school activities. I have a car with a large cabin, which allows me to visit or even take them out for walks. I would come to visit your pet in your home. Whether it’s a simple check on or taking them out on an adventure, I’d be sure to meet all of their needs.

“Morgan was very sweet and took great care of my cat. She took photos and videos for us, played with her, and cuddled with her. I deeply appreciate Morgan treating our baby just like her own. Highly recommend”

About: I love animals of all kinds! I’ve had both dogs and cats for most of my life. Growing up, we had many different breeds of dogs, ranging from small to large. Some of the breeds we’ve had include a Pug, French Bulldog, Hound Dog, and German Shepherd. We currently have three Miniature Schnauzers, who are a big part of the family! I’ll love your pet like they’re my own! Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work full time, but I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I’m happy to help anytime (rain or shine) between 10 AM and 4 PM! I truly love dogs and will take great care to ensure your baby is safe, happy, and well loved! When I’m caring for your pet, I’ll treat them just like my own.

About: I am an experienced dog and cat mom, who recognizes that each pet has their own personality and needs. As an animal rescuer, I've fostered dogs from the age of 1-day old to hospice seniors. One of my "foster fails" is a formerly fear aggressive pittie mix. He lives separately from the rest of my pack and is happiest when snuggling with his kitten and a stuffed squeaky. I am comfortable administering medications and attentively monitor the animals in my care to ensure their health and happiness. I love to share daily pictures with pet parents! I work from home and have flexibility to ensure coverage tailored to your pet family. I am available to visit your home multiple times a day for potty, play and affection. My goal is to maintain the same habits and environment that my client would if they were at home. Whether the animal sleeps in a crate at night or has free range of their home, I follow any house rules. At night, I enjoy reading them a bedtime story and playing gentle music to calm everone to sleep. Some pups like to sit quietly during a visit while others want to be tired out with a game of throw. I tailor my visits to the daily needs of the pet.

About: I grew up with blue herlers and now have a Chihuahua named Bentley, Golden Doodle named Nash, and a Kitten named Prada! I frequently pet sit and I even got to work at a camp bow wow this summer and LOVED it! I love getting to meet and interact with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I currently attend Drury University and work at a daycare on some afternoons. My availability schedule mainly consists of open mornings and weeks! I am very flexible with my hours so I’m sure I can make most times in the mornings or weekends work! I will feed, take out to potty, take out for a walk, and play with your pup to get some much needed zoomies out! For cats, I will feed, play, and love on them!

I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m available all weekends, as well as before 12 PM and after 5:30 PM on weekdays, but I occasional work as early as 8 AM.

“Meryk did a great job making sure Big Boy was happy and cared for while I was at work. He even stayed a few extra minutes extra to play with the cat wand and sent pictures! 10/10 will hire again.”

About: I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their unique needs. I have experience with puppy training (potty, crate, and leash basics) and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience or medication support. I also provide regular updates so you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. I am working full time but will be able to tend to your animals within my given availability! Your animal will be in great hands When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate time, and any training reinforcement — so the transition feels smooth and stress-free. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine. I stick to detailed care instructions, provide plenty of attention and exercise, keep litter boxes or yards clean, and send regular updates with photos. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and cared for just like you would at home.

About: i’m open to traveling around springfield to accommodate whatever you need. my experience with dogs goes way beyond casual pet care — during my mom’s cancer journey, i was heavily involved in caring for her great danes and pitbull, so i’m very comfortable handling large breeds, strong personalities, and more involved routines - that time really shaped how i show up as a caregiver. i’m calm, patient, and very tuned into an animal’s behavior and needs — whether that’s high-energy, anxious, protective, or just wanting to be left alone lol. i’m not easily overwhelmed, and i take their safety and comfort seriously. i also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, especially when they’re used to a certain routine. i’m extremely detail-oriented and will follow instructions exactly — feeding schedules, meds, quirks, all of it. what sets me apart is that i don’t just “watch” pets — i care for them in a way that keeps their environment consistent, stress low, and their personality respected. and you’ll always get updates because i know how important that peace of mind is. i am also a regular volunteer with local organization Rescue One! 💜 can't wait to meet you & your fur babies! i currently work full-time as a marketing project coordinator here in springfield, but my schedule is super consistent, which makes pet care easy to plan around. i’m fully available early mornings, evenings, and weekends — aka the exact times most pets need the most attention anyway. honestly, pet care fits really naturally into my routine because i already structure my days around consistency, timing, and attention to detail (very much my job lol). whether it’s early morning drop-ins, evening walks/feeds, or weekend coverage, i’m able to show up reliably and keep things on schedule. i also prioritize making time for it — this isn’t an afterthought for me. i genuinely enjoy it, and i like having that balance outside of my 9–5. so when i’m with your pet, they’re getting my full attention, not me rushing through a checklist to get to the next thing. i’m open to traveling anywhere around the springfield area to accommodate what you need. when i’m in a client’s home, i’m super respectful of your space — i treat it like i would my own and make sure everything stays clean, calm, and exactly how you left it. my approach is really centered on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. i’ll follow any instructions closely — feeding, meds, walk schedules, quirks, all of it — and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment while you’re away. i’m also very mindful of energy and temperament, so whether your pet needs a lot of activity, structured walks, or just a calm presence, i adjust to them. i’m especially great for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, which tends to be when pets need the most consistency anyway with a typical work schedule. overall, i’m not just popping in and out — i’m making sure your pet is cared for in a way that feels familiar, safe, and genuinely attentive, while also respecting your home and any specific expectations you have.

“Isabella was very accommodating, taking care of my cats on such short notice. She sent pictures and gave me updates everyday regarding my cats.”

About: I have been a huge animal lover my whole life. When I was 4 years old I got my first cat (it just showed up) and she had kittens shortly after. I also grew up with labradors, golden retrievers, and currently we have a german shepherd we adopted from the Humane Society almost two years ago. I have practice in giving medication to both cats and dogs orally as well as topically. I have petsit for my neighbors on multiple occasions as well as family members. I am currently a Walmart delivery driver and only work about 25 hours a week so I have open availability because I can choose when to work. I treat client’s homes as if it were my own. I am a very clean person and will leave your house better than when you left it.

About: Please send me all of your cute fur babies my way! Hi, there! I’m Korina. I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

“Our Boxer rescue dog had a wonderful visit with Lael and her dogs Willow and Scout. He can't wait to go back! We were VERY impressed with Lael's passion for animals. Her home is very pet friendly and welcoming. We strongly recommend her!!”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Samantha!!! My mom lives in Aurora Mo and I live 9 hours away in Wisconsin, my mom ended up in the hospital and I had no one to go let her dogs out. Samantha answered my message for help in just minutes saying she could assist with taking care of the dogs. She was even able to let them out and feed them the SAME NIGHT as my distress message. Set up 2 more visits for the next day as well because my dad wouldn’t be home until later that night. Samantha made me feel so at ease with entering my mom’s house without meeting her, taking care of my mom’s dogs that are her babies and locking back up! I was grateful for the pictures she sent of them so I knew they did indeed go potty. I sent the pictures to my mom and she cried knowing they were being well taken care of. Samantha thank you for being my hero and taking such good care of Dezi and Rowdy while my mom was in the hospital on such extremely short notice!!”

About: Hi pet parents! I’m Marci, and I’ve been house and pet sitting for over 12 years with excellent references available upon request. I grew up in Southern Missouri around a wide variety of animals, which gave me early hands-on experience with training and daily care. Professionally, I’ve worked in both exotic and domestic animal environments, including a zoo setting caring for livestock (such as alpacas, ponies, and young camels) and aviary birds, as well as a high-volume dog boarding/daycare facility in Phoenix, AZ where I worked with 150+ dogs daily. This gave me a strong understanding of dog behavior, group dynamics, and handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m confident with drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s routine exactly as needed—including feeding, exercise, medication, and companionship. I especially enjoy walks, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training for puppies and energetic dogs, always prioritizing safety, structure, and calm, happy behavior. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every home and pet with respect and care as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation and auto insurance for peace of mind. I currently live in Branson, Missouri and am a stay at home mom/photographer. My daughter is very gentle, calm, and accustomed to being around animals. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets (or home) and give you peace of mind while you’re away. My daily and weekly schedule is highly flexible and I am available for pet and home care nearly always. If for some reason I am unavailable my calendar should reflect that - or just ask because I might be available anyway. I am very mindful and cautious, especially when it comes to animals and children. In my home there are no small objects or sharp objects that could harm or be cause for choking hazards. I don’t feed your pet extra treats that aren’t approved by you, and I keep them safe by making sure doors are closed so they don’t run off.
