Dog Sitting Springfield

About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. I even took care of my senior childhood dog. I now have two dachshunds of my own. I also did some cat and dog sitting in high school. I love to go on walks and am looking forward to meeting new pet friends! I am currently working at Target as many hours as I can. My schedule is inconsistent and changes week from week. However, I’m willing to work around my work schedule to book with pets! I can take dogs out as much as needed, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them! Every pet is different! I will tend to their needs.

About: I have two cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and ages, from tiny kittens to big goofy pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle duty, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe. Hi! I’m an animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My schedule is really flexible, which means I’m around during the day and in the evenings to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, and snuggles. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extra playtime, I’ve got them covered. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and routines to keep them secure, and I make sure they’re comfortable in a calm, loving environment. You’ll always get updates so you know your furry friend is happy and safe.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

About: I have had pets my entire life and currently have a beautiful Great Dane and two cats of my own. I’ve worked at veterinary clinics and doggy day cares since I was 16. My knowledge and love for pets makes me a great candidate for taking care of others fur babies. If you want someone you can trust with your furry friends and can be there for them when you can not I am the person for this job! What makes me different from others is that I have hands on experience and loved doing my job. I want to open up my own business one day and with the help of my future clients and I can make this happen and continue to offer my services. I do not have breed restrictions, I only ask that the pets I care for are ready for lots of cuddles ! I’m currently working part time, so I have open availability across the board ! I’m looking for more consistent stays if possible. Fitting in walks and cuddle time comes easy with my schedule. I am able to travel to clients homes, to help keep their pet the most comfortable they can be and feel at ease being in their own safe space. I offer walks, cuddles, and love to take pictures to send to pet parents

“King loved having Kelsey come help him out! I knew he was in good hands and the check in’s/notes helped me not to worry about him. Will definitely be reaching out for future visits.”

About: I have loved animals since I came out of the womb. I have 2 cats myself and I absolutely love dogs. I have taken care of animals since I was 10. I also have volunteered at the humane society. I would absolutely love to meet your fur babies and the owners of course. I do online school, so I am very flexible when it comes to watching over your pets. I can wake up early and stay late. Whatever you need. I would love to keep your fur baby company, take them on walks (short or long), play with them, and obviously learn all about their little quirks.

“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”

“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”

About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.

About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a sophomore in college and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, and chickens my family!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities, whether they love long walks, playtime, or curling up for some extra attention. Also I have had many reptiles so am very comfortable with the unique care that is needed. I am very comfortable feeding snakes, and lizards of all kind! As a full-time student, my schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and can easily work around your pet’s normal routine, whether they need walks, drop-ins, playtime, or some extra company. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or spending more time with your pet, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.

About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time

About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs my whole life. From playing to taking care of them, I deeply enjoy being surrounded by dogs. They truly love like no other I am a local middle school teacher, so my schedule before and after school are very flexible! I am available before 7:30am, or after 4pm on weekdays. Weekends vary. I’d love to get to know the family and home in which I would be sitting to ensure I know the dos and don'ts the pet already has. I treat all pets as if they were my own.

About: My Fiancé and I have 3 dogs of our own. We have a 13 year old Terrior Mix, a 8 year old Yorkie and a 1 year old Lhasa Apso. We also have an 9 year old child here part time. I work from home so I am available at all times for boarding and can make almost anything work for drop in visits and walking. We have had our dogs for many years so we are well versed in caring for dogs of all wants and needs. We believe time spent with dogs is the most important.

About: I have always been a dog mom, since the start of adulthood. I was raised with cats and dogs in the home. Professionally, I am a child mental health therapist, and as part of my prior training in Psychology, I completed a field experience at the Nebraska Humane Society using behavior modification to train dogs. I have spent many years housesitting, dog sitting and cat sitting during my professional schooling. As my stepchildren are almost all grown and out of the home, I have found myself with some extra time and would love to help your family with care for your fur babies. I have experience with senior pets as well as giving medications. No reptile experience. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to make my own schedule at work. This will allow me the flexibility to care for your pets at various times throughout the day and evenings. I have a fence yard and two pets of my own at home. However, as I have a friend that rents a room in my home, I am able to housesit overnight and take care of pets in their own home so they don’t have to be displaced. I am also open to whatever schedule works for each family, for drop in care or walks.

About: I have grown up only knowing a life with a dog. I love caring for and playing with any type of dog! Along with taking care of my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for neighbors and friends for many years now. I work part time so on the days I work I would be gone for about 9 hours. My schedule varies but can be flexible just let me know! I love caring for dogs by keeping them company in the comfort of their own home. Whether it’s relaxing together, playing, or going for walks, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. If your dog stays at my home for boarding, I’ll help them settle in and feel comfortable in a safe, welcoming environment. We’ll have plenty of playtime, go on walks, and, if appropriate, visit a local dog park so they can get lots of exercise and fun.
