Steffany has been walking our puppy for about a month now and she is fantastic! Her photos/walk report cards are the best :) I feel safe working with Steffany, especially having a puppy! You never know what they will put ya through lol. Steffany will definitely help make sure your pet is getting enough exercise (especially if you have long work days) and it is a huge stress relief. Nairobi absolutely loves her walks with Steffany and we can’t wait to continue using her services.

About: I’m an animal lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I have experience caring for dogs of my friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care routines. I’m patient, attentive to instructions, and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs. I currently own a cat, so I understand the responsibility that comes with daily pet care, routines, and building trust with animals. I’m always happy to follow specific instructions and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy making time to give animals attention, play, and care. I’m reliable with schedules, flexible when possible, and committed to meeting each pet’s daily needs, including feeding, litter care, walks, and quality companionship. I currently work part-time but have the semester off with school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and following instructions exactly as given. I’m respectful in clients homes and attentive to pets behavior and comfort. I also provide updates so owners feel confident and informed.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was 14 (a total of 8 years)! Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for many years! I currently work part-time in accounting, which gives me a predictable schedule! This allows me to easily build pet care into my routine. I plan my work hours around scheduled walks, feedings, and check-ins. I really enjoy being active throughout the day, and caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I make sure to have an in-depth understanding of your pet’s needs. I am more than willing to crate, walk, or assist with potty training.

About: I have a wide variety of experience caring for animals, all the way from cats to horses! With two dogs and two cats of my own (and many more throughout the years), I’ve faced my fair share of complications and situations but have been able to handle them accordingly. I’ve had to care for pets with arthritis, hip and bone disease and elderly pets as well new puppies. I’m experienced in basic training such as sit, stay, and lay down. I am a college student! Though my availability is is odd sometimes, i will always make sure to be there for your furry companions and give them the best care they need. I will treat your babies like my own! Depending on their needs, they will receive walks, playtime, nap times, and just plain fun! I like to keep them involved with my daily life (car rides, dog parks, etc.) and allow them to become comfortable with me on their own time! Every dog or cat is different and I’m willing to do whatever to make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy while you’re out!

About: Hello! I have three dogs and a ferret, I have always grown up with all kinds of animals. My life is structured around my dogs, they are my family, we are out walking, playing inside, chewing on yummy bones or napping with warm blankets. I have years of experience and love enjoying life with dogs being a part of it. I want to care for your family as I care for mine.

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.

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.
