“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”


“Steffany is absolutely amazing!! She went above and beyond for us and our dog. She treated him like one of her own and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: I have always enjoyed the presence of a dog and playing with furry friends. Having dogs of my own in the past I know their quirks and personalities. I have locally watched dogs from other families. And I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member! I am a part time student and MSU in Springfield. I stay around campus MTWT, most weeks. I am free except for when I have class (1-4, Tuesday and Thursday) and would love you take care of your fur-baby! I would most likely take your fur baby to a park where they could sniff. Or if you had a backyard we would chill there if instructed. Unless fenced, I would have your animal on a leash.

“There good and then there’s Breelyn! Breelyn is above and beyond your expectations. She does not just what you expect , but she does more. Her love for the animals is unmistakable. Her dependability is exceptional. Her work ethic Will become so apparent when you use her. Thank you so much Breelyn for helping take care of the fluffy babies. My life is so much better thanks to you. Cowboy and Hildee want me to leave more now. Lol. ??”


“Anastasia (Kristi) was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help tire our pup out with some exercise, and did some bonus training and cuddles. Our lab mix Kadee Buggins really soaked it up and we can’t wait to book her again! Very kind. Very professional. Extremely fast response rate and excellent communication with the visit. I felt so at ease and knew my dog was in great hands with Kristi.”


About: I love animals. Super excited to work with you and your fur baby. Working with animals is a passion for me. Animals and I have a connection that makes them feel comfortable and at home. Of course it also entertains me in the mean time. I currently have a puppy that’s a year and a half that lives with me and a husky that's 4 yrs old that lives with my dad. I grew up around animals and it’s always a pleasure to be able to work with your fur baby. As far as special skills, I’m able to maintain control of the dog on walks as well as in home. Looking forward to meet you and your furry family. I am a college student taking cosmetology classes Monday- Friday from 5pm- 10pm. I work part time jobs that are based off my schedule during that week. (Uber, DoorDash) I am beyond flexible for you and your furry kids. I am closely located by a park. I am very active and loving. I will spend extra quality time with your furry baby to make sure they are comfortable during my time with them.

About: I have cared for the well-being of my own and others pets since I was 7. Anywhere from family, friends or friends of loved ones. I care for pets outside my own part-time. I am a traveling entrepreneur, artist, healer and teacher. Tending to the garden of animals and other humans helps me to remember to care for my own ecosystem. I have two indoor-only cats. My practice with caring for client's pets has ranged from indoor and or outdoor cats, kenneling and walking dogs daily. I am hyper aware of toxic plants and or allergies when it comes to animals. I adapt my plans of action given the data the animals I am caring for gives me. I am well versed with anxious cats and dogs.


About: I am a mom of two senior dogs who I absolutely adore! I have a variety of pet care experience from the age of 10, as I have always had multiple dogs and cats in the home since I was young. From a good old-fashioned walk to administering care for special medical means, it would be my pleasure to care for your furry friend. The weather may be warm, but look no further - your pup and I will be sure to get that good exercise in. When I am not volunteering with local nonprofits in the evenings and on weekends, Rover is my full-time focus! I am a night owl, so it's never too late for a drop in or a walk. My two senior dogs are my everything, and are known to be very pampered in my house. I am comfortable administering oral medication, as that is a common occurrence for my two girls. I believe that it's incredibly important to read a dog's body language and behavior in order to be sure they are as comfortable as possible. I also have a small stroller for dogs under 30 lbs, for those pups that need some sun, but may not be up for a full walk.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while providing the best care possible for their furry family members. I am also skilled at basic training commands and am willing to teach your pet how to sit, lie down, come, etc. I am currently enrolled in college 3 days a week, but have plenty of time in between classes and on the other weekdays and the weekend to care for your pet. I am willing to follow explicit instructions to ensure the proper care and safety for your pet while in your home. I can clean, give regular frequent walks, and even bathe your pet if needed.

About: My neighbors and friends of family have depended on my rapport with their pets and punctuality. I'm looking forward to meeting your four-legged fur baby! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and get to know your fur babies. Very dog friendly and I'm not too bad with cats either! my dog has an invisible fence that works very well which I highly recommend. we feed him his favorite dog food twice a day with honey!

About: I’ve taken care of pets on military bases for about 4-6 years watching animals and taking them out while people are on vacation or have been sent out of state somewhere. I’m fairly flexible. I work in the morning from 7am- 330pm So I’m good at spending time with them during my breaks and after work. I only work a few days a week so I am also good for night schedules. I try to keep my focus to the animal itself only touching things that relate to the pet and their environment. I am very respectful in a clients home, I’m good at cleaning up any messes quick and efficiently and don’t really get grossed out easily. I am good at following directions and keeping boundaries.

About: Warm, playful, and experienced! I give extra care to small to medium dogs and puppies, offer long walks, meds, and all the snuggles they could want. I keep a pretty flexible schedule with my job, so pet care fits in easily. Walks, play, feeding—I prioritize each pup’s needs like they’re my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, make sure to keep them comfy and happy, and give them lots of attention—whether it’s at your home or mine! 💗

About: I grew up with my own puppers and also house sat friends animals! I’m nothing special but I will love your fur baby like it’s my own. I’m a stay at home mom and always looking for something to spice up my time. Being able to play with a fur baby would make the whole day better! While I don’t have a yard for your baby to run in I love being outside! Lots of walks, parks to visit, and pets/snuggles to be had!

About: I love interacting with animals of all kinds!! Originally from Kansas City, where I grew up with and Mini and Giant Schnauzer. Having these two pups in my life lead my to days filled with long walks and tug of war sessions between the two pups! I have had 3.5 years of working as a manager at a Pet shop in Kansas City, where I was constantly rewarded with puppy love and kitten kiss all day long! I have interacted with a variety of dog breeds, big and small: German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Lab, Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Australian Shepherd, Mini/Standard Poodle, Shih Tzu, Dachshund, Cocker Spaniel, King Charles Cavalier, Pit Bull, Mini/Giant Schnauzer, etc. Being able to have this experience with a variety of dog breeds sets me apart from other sitters and dog walkers. My experience has led me to become adept at handling dogs of all sizes and personalities, making me a versatile and reliable choice for owners seeking someone truly comfortable with any breed. I have a part-time job at a tanning salon here in Springfield so dog walking fits into my schedule. I normally don’t work weekends and when I do work it is generally at night. My days are normally not very busy as college is not in session right night. When going to a clients home, I will be respectful of the space and follow all of the steps of care provided by the client. I will ensure the dog and/or cat is in good well being with food, water, clean litter, and gets and healthy and happy amount of playtime. My sole purpose for my visit will be for the animal, and animal only so I will do everything in my power to make sure I leave your animal happy and healthy… while also soaking up all of the animal love!! When going on walks, I will ensure to always bring extra water and a travel size water bowl for my clients pups in case they get a little thirsty. I will also make sure I go on trails dog friendly, following rules and bring disposable baggies for anytime your pup needs a bathroom break!
