Dog Walking Springfield

“Nicole walked our dog Buddy during the spring break while we were out. She took care of buddy really well and was good with communicating and giving a heads-up as necessary.”

About: Hey! I’m Connor. I'm a Firefighter/EMT with pet CPR and First Aid certification and a lifelong dog owner. I live in my own home in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a large, securely fenced backyard with double gates. My yellow lab Kygo is happy to greet all the new visitors and both my house and yard were recently redone with dogs in mind. . What I’m offering is a private dog daycare and boarding experience. Your dog gets to stay in a real home and play with a small group of dogs while still feeling part of a family here. All dogs are prescreened by me during a meet and greet and most are repeat clients who I already know well. I’m big on photos and video and they get the same treatment as Kygo while staying here. I like to think of it as leaving your dog with family while you’re away. . My setup is great for dogs who don't do well in a large boarding facility with a lot of other dogs together in one room. Managing different energy levels and making sure everyone gets comfortable is what makes my house run smoothly. Everyone's given time to settle in rather than immediately being thrown into a group of unfamiliar dogs. Day one is nice and easy and slow introductions are what has allowed me to not have any behavioral issues between the dogs. . I've used Rover myself and I know it can be stressful leaving your pet with a new person or wondering who exactly you're getting when booking someone online. Feel free to give me a call first or we can set up a meet and greet at the house so you can meet Kygo and me and see the yard. . Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am often available for last minute bookings as well as weekends and holidays. So if the need arises so feel free to put in any last minute or holiday requests. I've been doing this for a couple years now so my home has been tested by the best of the best - Beagles!!! It's a kid free home and all dog hazards including cleaning products, medications, dishwasher pods, etc. are out of reach with the dogs in mind. I only feed your dog what you bring, I keep pet first aid supplies on hand and know the 24/7 emergency vets in the area. I'll also have your vet, medical information including allergies, and an alternate contact in advance. I regularly check the backyard fence and its easy to see at the meet and greet that its completely secured. I haven't had any aggression issues with dogs but my house has separate areas that allow me to safely divide dogs if I need to. If two dogs aren't getting along, I can completely separate them for the remainder of their stay so they don't come into contact again. Dogs are always separated during meal times.

“Gianna is the best! She is easy to communicate with, on time for walks, trustworthy, and really cares about the animals in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure my big pup is happy and safe. She has lessened my anxiety about leaving my pup and that means the world to me. She has been a life saver and I highly recommend her. Thanks Gianna 🥰🐾”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.

“Kennedy did great! She came over a few days earlier to meet Tofi. On the day of the walk she did all we asked her to do, even with Tofi being reluctant to take a long walk, she hanged out with her and made sure she had water and treats.”

About: Whether you’re seeking care for a hyperactive pup who needs ample exercise or a docile dog who enjoys sniffaris, I can assure you your pup will feel safe with me and receive the care they need! I currently own a high energy retriever mix named Koda and have had dogs my entire life. I am extremely comfortable around all dogs no matter their size. I have owned and been responsible for dogs ranging from cockapoos and daschunds to labs, border collies, pitbulls, and sheep dogs. I work from home so my availability is extremely flexible. I'm always happy to work out a schedule based on your needs. My goal is to make you and your dog as happy and comfortable as possible. I work from home so I can be flexible depending on your dogs needs. I love taking dogs on long walks around their neighborhood or bringing them to Watchung Reservation for some well deserved time in nature. I understand every dog's needs are different so I'll make sure they're comfortable and content while their owners are away. I have experience caring for reactive dogs and am comfortable walking with them and am a firm believer in positive reinforcement.

“Kat is super reliable, flexible, prompt and responsive with all communications. I trust her with my home and my pup, and will absolutely use her services again!”

About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

“Bianca was super nice and very sweet with my two pups. Very communicative and professional as well. Would recommend and will plan to use her services again. ☺️”

About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

“Your baby will be in good hands with Temi. He's a great walker and friend to the dogs. My dog is sometimes timid, but he took right to Temi. I would definitely use his services again.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and understanding I bring to every pet. As a psychology student, I’ve developed strong skills in observing behavior, recognizing body language, and responding with patience and empathy. While animal behavior and human psychology aren’t the same, those skills help me better understand each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. I’ve also grown up surrounded by animals and have always helped care for my family’s pets. I’m a proud dog and cat owner myself. I’ve raised my dog since she was a puppy, so I understand the time, consistency, and love that goes into helping a pet feel safe and happy. I also care for my cat, which has taught me to appreciate different personalities and care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working a part-time job and I’m looking for an another job on my days off doing something that I love. Sticking to their exact routine such as feeding schedules and bathroom habits exercise and medications to minimize stress and always communicating regularly with the owners.

“Rachel did great and our dog. We appreciate how thorough she was with the instructions we left. She was very communicative and left pictures, videos and a detailed report of what our dog did. Very appreciated and we definitely recommend her. 5/5”
