Cat Sitting in Springfield

About: Having shared my home with every kind of pet since I was a child, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding to pet care that goes beyond the basics. This extensive experience has given me a special skill for navigating the unique challenges of both ends of the spectrum: I excel at the positive reinforcement needed for training energetic puppies and have the gentle, patient touch required to provide comfort and specialized care for senior pets. When you entrust me with your furry family member, you're choosing a sitter who offers not just reliability, but a genuine, experienced friendship for your pet I have the wonderful luxury of a completely open schedule, which allows me to make pet care my top priority. This means your pet gets my undivided attention, and I can be there for them consistently throughout the day, every day. My approach to in-home pet care is to provide seamless, consistent care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I minimize their stress by keeping them in their familiar environment. If needed to stay in your own home. If they were to come to my home: I have 3 young kids, however if necessary to be away from kids we could do in your home. When pets stay with me, they become part of my family. My home is a safe, loving, and pet-centric environment where they receive constant attention.

“Sheryl is SUCH a nice person--super friendly, amazingly communicative, and accommodating with how we wanted our cat cared for. She checked in a couple of days before the visit and did not just give him the needed the care but also socialized with him and sent several pictures. We are extremely happy with the service Sheryl provided and will definitely have her back!”

“Julie was great! We appreciate her taking care of our cats while we were away. Everything went off without a hitch!”

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a young girl. I currently part of an non profit animal rescue on Elloree, SC where we have a shelter for 100+ cats. I absolutely love cats and dogs! I work full time but have ability to come home at lunch time to check and care for animals. My personal pets are very spoiled and are taken care of when I first wake up and then throughout the evening when I get home from work in the afternoon. I live on the country on 4 acres. I have two fenced in areas. My personal pets include 9 cats and one small dog. My animals are allowed access in/out of the house. I have several large rooms that can be used for boarding.

About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available. My schedule changes from week to week, as I’m still engaged in the transportation of pets, so always have wife for backup. We really care about healthy life style and guarantee the best care for them. I certified the American Red Cross for pet first aid as well. All animals under my care are insured, insurance policy included veterinarian reimbursement. Meeting new animal friends is something that will always bring me joy. Your dog will be in the professional and loving care when under my watch. If I sound like someone you could trust to care for your fur babies, please send me message. DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). 
Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that.
A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!

“Hellen was a great drop in sitter 2x a day. She was on time and wasn't afraid to ask questions if needed. Hellen, Thank you for taking care of my boys when I was gone for the Christmas week. I will definitely be booking Hellen again in the future.”

About: i work full-time night shift at a no-kill dog rescue, so i’m basically used to every type of pup out there — shy, dramatic, wiggly, and even the “just had surgery, carry me like a noodle” ones. i’ve had dogs my whole life and currently i’ve got three rescues and 2 cats! i’ve got experience with special needs pups, meds, and post-surgery care, and honestly my whole life pretty much revolves around animals. if your dog needs love, patience, or just someone who speaks “woof,” I’ve got them covered. i work overnight (full time) from 2am to 9am taking care of doggies, so pet care fits right into my routine. i’m already in “dog mode” pretty much 24/7. when i’m not at the rescue, i’m home with my own pets, so adding a few more furry friends to my day is super easy for me. when i’m in your home, i treat it and your pets with the same respect i give my own — i follow your rules, your routines, and your comfort level. your space stays clean, your pets feel safe, and i make sure everything is exactly how you left it.

“Danielle is great! 100% recommend!”

About: I have been caring for a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs to rodents and horses since I was 12 years old. Since then I have fully trained my own dog to do basic tasks but also to “find” things (such as an inhaler for my mom) and stand with her back to my calves if we are in crowded areas. I am always learning new ways to better care for pets and new tricks for my own dog! I have just graduated from university so I am currently searching for a full-time job in my field. That means for now I am completely free to help out with pets whether that means walking, drop in visits, or house sitting.

I am completely flexible and open to negotiation.
