Top rated Springfield house sitters
“I was super nervous having someone new stay with Zorro, because it’s been a long time. Due to a new nephew who wanted to make an early entrance to the world, I had to find someone on short notice. Linda has been amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet right away. She has been so patient and flexible, even adding an extra day so I could stay to help family. She took great care of Zorro and kept me updated. I am very grateful and would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“First time using Sue for our 7 year weimaraner Zeus. Won't be the last,because she was wonderful. He loved her and she was super with pictures and videos.”
“Our two German Shepards have the absolute best time with Jackson and he takes incredible care of them. Your dogs are in the best hands when Jackson is watching them and he sends picture updates throughout our trips. He stays at our house and takes great care of the house and grabbing the mail when we are gone. We are lucky to have found him!”
“We were able to book Dawn at the last minute, after reading about her and reviews. They were spot on and we were happy she was able to sit with our two babies. She was very nice, easy to talk with, we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. We will definitely be calling on her again. Dawn thank you, for a day to ourselves without worrying about our kids.”
“Charity was an amazing house and dog sitter. Our home looked like how we left it. She took such great care of our blind, senior dog. She also sent us photos and updates throughout the day. I will book Charity again!”
“Kristi did a great job taking care of my “takes a while to warm up to new people” dog. She provided plenty of updates and my dog seemed well cared for when we got home.”
“We loved having Daisy stay with our fur babies for the weekend! All of our animals just loved her and she was so good at sending pics and communicating with us. Can’t wait to book her again!”
“Celeste watched my Dane over spring break and did a wonderful job yet again. She has been flexible and gives great details with him. She is flexible, quick to respond and good with my Dane. I continue to use her when I’m away. My Dane has gotten use to her as well and does well with her while I’m away.”
“Ella was fantastic! She watched our 3 dogs over the holiday weekend and all of them loved her. She took them for multiple walks and was even able to get our shy one to warm up to her almost immediately. She sent multiple pictures of the dogs, and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She even provided puppy report cards at the end of the stay detailing their walks, food habits, and overall behavior, which was so cute! We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“Hailey has been a repeat sitter for our anxious boy, Hoagie. She handles instructions for him with grace and is always on time, excellent at communicating throughout the day, and making sure his needs are met! Hoagie always gets excited when Hailey comes to hangout with him and we would love to book her again! Thank you so much for caring for our boy, Hailey and for setting such a great example of what a great sitter looks like!”
“Emily was great with our fur babies, and I would definitely hire her again! We were gone for nearly a week to New Orleans while Emily watched my boxer Daisy, and Malti-poo Shaggy. She provided the CUTEST photos, and we never had to check in or ask how they were, because she was on top of things! My one doggo is elderly, and needs eye drops for his glaucoma, which she gave regularly. My house was fairly clean and organized when I came back, and the doggos seemed loved and taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book with Emily!”
“Rebecca did a phenomenal job with my English Bulldog, French Bulldog, and Boston Terrier over the 4th of July Holiday week/weekend. She checked in, sent me updates, and pictures with every visit. She administered medications to all three of my dogs and kept up with the routine care of my English Bulldog’s ears and eyes. Rebecca vacuumed their kennels and large area rug daily. I was very pleased to come home to my house just how I left it.”
“Megan was fabulous with our older but active chihuahua. He loved her and responded so nicely to her. She kept in contact with us and sent us numerous pictures while we were out of town. We will definitely have Megan back when we leave town again.”
About: Having two cats myself, I understand the need and want for someone you deeply trust to take care of your animals and that’s the person I want to be for someone who might need it. I am in college from 8:30am-11:45 and I can drop by before I work or if I don’t work I’m available in the afternoons and late evenings! I always have to give them love whenever I see them, and I make sure everyone has food and fresh water available. One of my cats is a free feeder and the other one get wet food twice a day so I am familiar with different feeding habits. Very experienced in giving cats medicine as I have taken care of both my cat and friends cats.
About: I grew up on a small ranch caring for all kinds of animals: goats, chickens, parrots, bunnies, dogs, cats, and even fish. Being around animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I’ve learned how to care for them with patience, attention, and love. Whether it’s walking an energetic dog, helping with medications, or just giving a pet some extra attention while you’re away, I’m someone people trust to show up and care like family. No matter the size or species, I’m comfortable and confident handling it all. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I’m currently home from college and mostly helping my parents out around the house, so my schedule is super flexible For drop-in visits, I typically stop by every 4 hours, starting around 8 AM and continuing until about 10 PM. I usually spend about an hour outside with your pup in the morning to get them some fresh air (and make sure they get that important morning potty break!). In the evening, I like to take them for a 30-minute walk to help them burn off energy before bedtime. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to adjust visit times or frequency based on your pet’s needs and your preferences.
About: I have about six years of experience when it comes to taking care of dogs and I can certainly walk them for a long time I’m a soon-to-be college student and available through Tuesday to Thursday at about 1 PM to 8 PM alongside being available at Sunday with said time schedule I will only provide my services with dog walking but I will promise to look after your dog and make sure they are safe and sound
“We booked Brinly very last minute! She was very prompt and responsive during the booking process. She took care of our cat and dog while we were away. She was great! She is very professional, medicated our dog, and watered our plants too! She sent lots of pictures and gave updates. Definitely going to book her again.”
“Jason was easy to communicate with and dependable, making the process smooth and stress-free. His love for animals was evident from our first call. While we were away, Jason kept us updated with regular photos of Savio enjoying plenty of play and mental stimulation. We found Jason to be reliable and trustworthy, and we highly recommend him as a dog / house sitter.”

“Vanessa took great care of our pup and our home when she stayed. Left our home as neat as we left it. Enjoyed the pictures and videos she sent. We were very happy to get the notifications from her when she gave our Bailey her meds. We will use Vanessa again.”

Delaney A.

Her work ethic is exceptional she never waits until the last minute and always stays on top of her responsibilities. Beyond her reliability, Delaney is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and caring. I’ve seen her go above and beyond for others, even for people she doesn’t know personally. That level of compassion truly speaks to her character. As a pet owner herself, Delaney absolutely adores her own fur babies, and it’s clear how much love and attention she gives them. I have no doubt that any pet in her care will be safe, well cared for, and have a great time.”
