Dog Walking Springfield

About: ASK ABOUT WHAT DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE Hey, I’m sure you’re wondering “why should I let this guy near my precious animal?” or something or that nature. Well here’s some basic info for you. -I’m a pet owner of 2 absolutely adorable troublemakers that I’ve raised since they were kittens so I can keep animals alive for extended time. I’ve also lived with roommates who had their own pets and have plenty of experience caring for other peoples animals. -I use to work/volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college for a year so I have a experience working one on one and with groups of animals -Friends and family always remark on how well I get along with animals and how much I absolutely love them more than humans -I am very cooperative/receptive with your pets needs and your wishes! It’s your pet so you’ll know more than me what they need when it comes to their care. Trust me as a fellow pet owner I know! -I’m always happy to answer questions before you’d like to use me so ask away! I work a full time job Monday through Friday, sometimes weekends, and on 3rd shift hours so my availability will be unfortunately restricted to morning hours, however I will try my best to be as available as possible! Sometimes I can work outside my posted availability but no promises, feel free to ask! I do special promotions and discounts as well, ask away! I’ll treat your pet as I would treat my pets. Try and give them a clean and safe environment, with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.

About: Hi! I've taken care of animals for about 40 years. I had horses growing up, then my kids got into 4h and I've help raise chicken, turkeys, pigs, and dairy feeders. I've also had numerous big dogs that have lived to be anywhere from 10 to 14 years. We recently rescued our dog harley and we use rover when we go on vacation so I thought I would help others with the stress of worrying about their pets while they are gone. I promise to care for them like they were my own.❤️ I'm not working so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have open availability to watch ur babies in ur home, have drop in visits, or just go for a walk!! I would prefer to watch pets in your home bc my pet isn't very dog friendly and is very protective of my husband and I.

About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover since childhood. Love to help out with family/friends pets. Super active and happy to walk and check in on your furry friends when you’re not able to:) Available weekends, Mondays, and weekday evenings! Feel free to reach out to see how we can work with your schedule and meet your pet’s needs! Pets are family! I always take care of them like my own. And ours are quite spoiled with love and attention. Your trust and comfortability is my priority

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, take out the dogs, play, bathe their pets. I am going into my 2nd year of teaching and as we are on summer break, I will have more availability/flexibility. I will also have all the time in my hands to spend it with your furry friends!

About: My wife and I have grown up around animals and traveling and know the importance of making sure our four-legged family is well taken care of when out adventuring. We love walking, hiking, running, and staying active while also relaxing on the porch and enjoying the fresh air! We are happy to welcome your four legged family into our care and love while you are making memories! My wife and I both work an educational schedule with plenty of free time in the evenings and during holiday's. While we spend our days caring for students, we are always happy to come home and spend plenty of time with our furry guests! We have a quaint house with a lot of space and not many things for pets to get into. We have a couch with a nice window for sunbathing and the ability to crate pets if needed in a side room with a camera and noise machine. We also have two SUVs to transport pets to parks for walks and play, we do live near multiple parks and within a quiet neighborhood.

About: I've lived with dogs since I was a child, and I've had my own dog for 5 years. I've also been volunteering with different animal rescue organizations since 2017, and can provide references upon request. I have lots of room in my house, and would be able to keep your babies separate from my babies if they do not get along. Keeping your pups comfortable is my main priority! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I could easily watch your babies for long weekends. I could also watch them during the week depending on their schedules. I have 5 of my own animals that I take care of every day. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly dog and 4 cats who are used to dogs. I can work with your babies depending on their needs, as I have plenty of rooms and space in my home. If you need me to come stay at your house I can do that as well, depending on how much time is needed.

About: As a firefighter and EMT, I’m dependable, responsible, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. I have experience caring for pets of friends and family and understand the importance of providing consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work as a firefighter/EMT and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. My schedule varies, but I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with pet owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication reminders, or companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable and attentive care. As a firefighter and EMT, safety, responsibility, and trust are a big part of my daily life. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I make sure pets are secure at all times, monitor for any signs of illness or distress, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong passion for animals and a dream of growing my own pet care business. I’ve had animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I also have experience administering medications and caring for special-needs pets, so your fur baby will always be in safe and loving hands. My home is perfect for active, social dogs! I have high-energy pups of my own who absolutely love making new friends and playing with other animals. Because safety is my top priority, I only accept dogs that are friendly, social, and well-behaved around other dogs. Your pup will enjoy tons of supervised playtime on our fully fenced-in acre of land, including separate fenced areas for independent play and relaxation if needed. I believe every dog deserves love, attention, enrichment, and lots of fun while you’re away. I also offer free light grooming for overnight stays if requested, and I love making homemade pet treats for my furry guests! Animal rescue and helping pets in need has always been close to my heart, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a safe, loving, and fun home away from home I am a stay at home mommy so I have so much free time on hands to care for your babies !

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.

About: I have had a deep love for animals my entire life. I’ve always grown up around cats, dogs, rabbits and even reptiles! I also used to raise & show lambs for 4H at the Clark County Fair, so I am used to the routine and responsibilities that come with animals. I have experience working at DogTown where I learned valuable skills on keeping dogs happy and calm during their boarding experience. I know it can be very stressful leaving your animal in someone’s hands, but I’m willing to do everything I can to make sure your pet is well taken care of! 🐾 I work as a part-time EMT (I usually work overnight shifts) and I am a full-time college student, but I have control over which days and times I work. Overall my schedule can be flexible and I am happy to work to ensure your pet is getting the most quality care and attention! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, I am more than happy to come to your home for care! While being in a clients home it is my goal to keep it as clean as possible and respect that space! I can also do walking or playtime where the owner prefers to ensure the pet is as close to their normal routine as possible.

About: I have 8 years experience training dogs from puppies to leash reactive dogs. I am comfortable medicating animals and caring for special needs. I saved a client dog recently when I recognized she had eaten one of her toys before coming to stay with me. I rushed her to have emergency surgery and then cared for her after surgery until her parents arrived back from their cruise. I am all about pet care. I am home daily with the exception of a couple varied hours to go out to walk or train dogs. I have 5 fully fenced acres, with a secure fenced backyard just for dogs. My family has 4 dogs of our own, 1 is a livestock guardian who lives outside fulltime(his choice I promise). The dogs and I often go play in the fenced pasture when the horses and chickens are secured. Everyone is always monitored and supervised for safety. Meals are always fed with dogs separated for prevention and safety.

About: Hi friends! My name is Clara, I am currently attending Cedarville as a sophomore nursing student. I work PRN as CNA at the hospital in Springfield which requires reliability, work ethic and compassion. I have a dog and a cat that live at home as well but not currently with me at college. I previously worked for Rover with my mom while I was in highschool. I have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs and for a variety of other pets with various ages over the years. I am dependable, hard-working, caring and loving. I love spending quality time with all animals whether it is stopping by for a drop in visit, taking a walk or staying at your house as I can't currently board animals while living on campus. Please feel free to reach out to us for all of your pet care needs! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate! I’m currently in nursing school, so my availability varies slightly by day. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have lectures at 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, along with a lab from 1:00–2:15 PM. On Tuesdays, I have labs from 8:30–9:50 AM and 11:00 AM–12:50 PM, as well as a lecture at 2:00 PM. Thursdays include a lecture at 8:00 AM, another from 11:00 AM–12:50 PM, and a final lecture at 2:00 PM.

I’m still very flexible outside of these times and happy to work around your pet’s needs—feel free to reach out! I will intentionally care for and love your pets as if they were my own and I will be sure to follow your instructions and guidelines with the utmost care!

About: I have had animals my entire life, I love them all; big and small. I treat them all as my own. I can be found on the floor playing with a dog almost anywhere I go. Your best friend is in good hands with me as I am home full time and would like to do what I love and that is working with animals. I find working with animals to be fulfilling and makes me happy to keep them company while their people are at work or away and unable to do so. Working with animals in a non-veterinary setting is my dream job and I hope to make some new friends in the process. I will send pictures, updates, and make sure your buddy is happy and loved while you are away. I am with them 24/7 for the most part and this is what I do, so my rates reflect my experience and dedication to being the best pet sitter for you and your furry friends. You can count on me to care for furry friends in a gentle and thorough manner as if they were my own. I am home full time, your fur babies will have constant care while they are with me. I love being home and cuddling up with my fur buddies. I have 2 dogs and a cat. Safety is my number one priority. I’m never away for very long. I never open an entry door without making sure that my dogs are gated or behind another interior door away from a point of escape. I am very familiar with even the sneakiest of escape artist’s, so I will ask to see all points of entry/exit of your home at our meet and greet. Your fur babies’ safety is in good hands with me and my ultimate priority. (I plan around physician appointments and other drop ins)

“Never had to have a dog walker before. Surgery on my dominant hand changed that. i knew i wanted a dependable person who loved dogs. i feel so lucky that Mike was on the list. Great communicator and, despite the truly crappy weather, G got his walks. Personable, dependable, and loves dogs. Highest recommendation.”
