Dog Sitting Springfield

About: I grew up with a variety of animals at a young age, always taking care to learn their personalities and individual needs. I was entrusted with pet sitting for friends and family growing up. I currently work full time, ideal pet drop ins would be early in the morning(6am-7:15am) and the afternoons or evenings from 4:30-9pm depending on location. Mondays 4:30-5pm or after 6:30pm. The weekends allow me more frequent, open, and flexible availability for drop ins and walks. I’m open to discussing any times that you need and trying to find a compromise! While caring for pets I like to keep them within eye sight at all times while interacting based on their body language and personality type.

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

“Kyle is the perfect match for my Cane Corso. She’s a strong guardian breed and Kyle was knowledgeable throughout the process of meeting her to ensure a safe interaction. He is patient and kind. She looooooves him. I appreciate his thoroughness in ensuring her needs are met, Makes this dog mom’s heart smile to know she has a good caregiver.”

About: I’ve always had my own animals, including two dogs and a cat, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also watched many pets for family and friends, giving me experience with different personalities and needs. I’m an animal lover to my core and would truly love the opportunity to meet and care for your pet, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🐾 I’m an early high school graduate doing Rover full-time, available 7 days a week. I’m active and love daily walks and playtime to keep pets happy and healthy! I provide attentive care in your home, following your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, giving them plenty of attention while respecting your space and home.

About: As a seasoned pet caregiver with a background as a Dog Daycamp Leader at Kennelwood Pet Resorts, my passion for animals shines through in every interaction. Equipped with knowledge in various grooming techniques, medication administration, and reading behavioral cues, I provide comprehensive care tailored to each pet's needs. Nowadays, I extend my expertise by house sitting, ensuring pets receive the same level of love and care they deserve. I nurture pets with love and attention, treating them as if they were my own fur babies. My main goal is to offer peace of mind to friends, family, and other clients that have utilize my services. I am a recent graduate from MSU and I wanted to continue my love of pet sitting during my time off from school. I am currently working a full time job during the week, so my availability is typically during the weekend, but I also can check in with pets before/after my shifts during the week, as well as provide nighttime care if needed. While in a clients home, I wait until a pet approaches me for attention to ensure their trust. Once trust is established, I continue to watch for any signs of distress as we play and cuddle throughout the day.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it.

There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. They are not like family, they are family. Many friends and relatives have entrusted me to care for their pets for short and long stays at my home where they receive love, attention, play, and care. When caring for your pets, they will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the weekday. Evenings and weeknights they will not be alone for more than an hour at a time. I have a large fenced yard and close access to a public park for walks. I enjoy playing with animals and giving them attention and care.
