Top rated Springfield cat sitters
“Jennie was absolutely wonderful - a great communicator, prompt, amazing with our cat, she really went above and beyond. We would definitely work with her again!”
“Ellen did a terrific job taking care of my cat, she’s very communicative, updated me every day with how well my cat was doing and my cat genuinely seemed happy to be around Ellen”
“Xiomara did an excellent job with watching our two cats, Enzo and Luca. We loved how she offered to take the time out of the day to come over to meet our fur babies. We definitely will use her again as our cat sitter!”
“Marlee is very friendly and reliable. I liked that she was very communicative through the entire process. She dropped in on my cat, Majik, a few times while we were away on vacation. Although, Majik is very skittish and would hide away during the times Marlee dropped in, she made sure Majik was fed and that her litter was clean, which is what I needed her help to do. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“I highly recommend Fran! She took care of our cats and backyay chickens for several days. She sent heart-warming photos after her visits which showed my stand-offish cat looking happy with being petted. She was very flexible when I asked her last minute to do one more visit because we were getting home so late. I won’t hesitate to book her again next time we are in need!”
“Bianca did a fantastic job sitting for my 2 cats! she always asked for clarification if she needed it, and was a great communicator. I got lots of pics of my fur babies while I was gone, I will definitely hire her again! :)”
“Absolutely! Here’s a positive review for Desire: --- I recently went on vacation and entrusted Desire to take care of my five cats—Abby, Chloe, Taz, Luna, and baby LuLu—for a few days. Desire did an amazing job! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands. Desire spent time playing with them, ensuring they were happy and entertained. Even Abby, who is very picky about who she trusts, allowed Desire to pet her—a clear sign of how comfortable and trusted she felt around Desire. I will definitely use Desire's services again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Desire, for your outstanding care!”
“10/10 I’d trust Stephanie to look after my kids and I don’t even have kids. I think my two bunnies preferred their vacation at Stephanie’s house over normal home time with me. I was sent daily photos and videos of my little buns which was AWESOME. Your pet definitely will not ever be forgotten if you board with Stephanie. When we came to pickup, they already put the bunnies in their carrier, washed the food bowls, and cleaned and packed up their stuff which was totally unexpected but very appreciated.”
“I am a first time user of Rover and was very nervous about leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else. When I picked Stephanie I could just tell she would be a great fit with my two pups. And I was right! I have special needs for my dogs and was worried it would be too much but Stephanie didn’t mind and even worked with one of my dogs on leash training! She was super patient in meeting them and letting them get to know her and offered up some advice on food options to keep them healthy and active. I will definitely be using Stephanie again!”
“Mary is awesome! My new kitten and adult cat have not met yet and are currently separated. Mary took the time to visit and play with each of them separately. I feel so much better knowing they’re in good hands while I’m at work. Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I grew up with two dogs, including my sweet Ike who recently passed, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families. I bring the same care and love to every animal I watch, treating them like me own and making sure they feel happy and secure while you’re gone. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m flexible to match each pet’s feeding, walking, and play schedule. I focus on keeping their day consistent and comfortable while adapting to their individual needs. I live in a complex (right around the corner from Downtown Millburn) with lots of places for your pet to walk! I also live 10-15 min away from the nearest dog park!
