House Sitting in Springfield

“Kira was great! We hired her to come to our vacation AirB&B for two evenings when friends we were visiting didn't want animals in their home. Kira spent a few hours with our dog, so we could have dinner with our friends at their house. Kira arrived and was right away in control (clearly, she has some dog-handling experience), and our dog seemed happy. We'll definitely hire her again the next time we visit our friends!”

“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”

“Caleb was great with my golden retrievers during a recent long trip. He took them on long walks each day and was very responsive to my text messages. Caleb is reliable and sensitive to the dogs' personalities and needs. I highly recommend him as a caregiver of your pet.”

“Diane was fantastic, she watched our two dogs and stayed at our house while we were out of state for over a week. On the initial meet, our dogs were immediately comfortable around her (one of our dogs is a rescue and very skittish around new people). She knew how to approach her slowly, and our dog was comfortable within minutes. She provided regular updates during the stay, and communicated any concerns she had with them. The house was cleaner than when we left it, and our dogs were in great condition. We will be using her again the next time we travel and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Shanna was awesome! She stepped in at the last minute and took really good care of our animals. Our dog Charlie is almost 16 years old and nearing the end of his life so he needs a lot of monitoring, attention and care. Before we met Shanna, we were really worried about leaving him, but were able to enjoy our trip away without worrying if he was okay. She managed his medications beautifully so he wasn't in pain. Rocky the cat took to her straight away and both of them were happy and relaxed when we returned. Shanna says she gives concierge service and she absolutely follows through!”

“We were grateful to have Alissa care for our two dogs while we were away for a week! She went the extra mile and took time to give them attention and play with them. Also, Alissa's calm, relaxed demeanor was very much appreciated, as one of our older dogs can be a bit difficult sometimes. It's obvious that she loves animals, and I would definitely recommend Alissa C. to anyone in need of someone responsible and kind to care for their furry companions.”

“Jessica is a huge animal lover. My dogs are always very excited when they hear her car pull in. They know they will get lots of love and attention from her.”

“Caitlin was great! Puppers definitely loved having her around! Thanks so much!”

“Thank you, Nicole! Our cats were singing your praises when we got home. Our home was left neater than we left it, with everyone taken good care of, and all the right meds administered while we were out of town, giving us peace of mind. It’s always hard leaving your pets and home while away, but Nicole was communicative and responsive while we were gone. I am so grateful for her and hope she will consider caring for our cats when we have to leave town again! :)”

“Came in in a pinch and was absolutely fantastic! Would absolutely book again.😊”

“Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.”

“Kaeleen took excellent care of our cat while we were away! She was very communicative and trustworthy and our kitty seemed very happy when we got home.”

“Joe house sat for a long weekend with our 120 lb Newfoundland dog and 4 cats. He was reliable and left our home as clean as he found it, the pets were clearly in good hands.”

“We needed to find a house/dog sitter for the weekend due to an unexpected situation and Kim was great. She responded quickly and was able to meet me and the pups same day. She was personable and I felt very comfortable leaving her to watch my home and pups. She was very communicative through the weekend, sent lots of pictures, and even left us a sweet welcome home gift and note. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”

“Sarah was great with Sammy! She was very responsive from the start and during her stay. She sent pictures of their walks together which he clearly was enjoying. When we got home the house was tidy and Sam was tired and happy. I will use her again when we go away and highly recommend!”

“Morgan was everything we were looking and more! Kind, courteous, and clearly an animal lover at heart! We have two large, crazy dogs and she was confident yet gentle with them from the moment they greeted her at the door. Our 16 year old cat who doesn’t come out for many people warmed up to her quickly too. We wouldn't hesitate to have her come stay with our animals again!!”
