“Katie was awesome with both pets! Nice having someone know how to handle a rabbit. I will for sure book her again for our next vacation. I loved daily updates and knowing the animals were in good hands.”

About: I worked as a lead kennel attendant for nearly three years before moving to Springfield, and I can tell you there is a huge difference between boarding with a family rather than a facility. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my job taking care of other people's pets, but I always wished there was something more I could do to comfort pets who were stressed or overworked by all the commotion. The large volume of pets and and tight schedules often left minimal to no time for cuddles, and only a couple potty breaks a day. This structure often separated families, especially those with cats and dogs, as they were kept in different buildings. By boarding in my own home, I am striving to provide a calm environment where your pets can be able to relax and feel comfortable. Unlike typical boarding facilities that are only open for 12 hours, your pet will be able to have someone there with them 24/7 to comfort and monitor them. Families of pets will also be able to be kept together, and roam the house as they normally would at home. I would be more than happy to welcome your pets into my home, so you can leave them knowing they are in good hands. Photo, video, and text updates can be requested at any time during the day to keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I also offer free optional baths at the end of their stay to wash any dirt from their adventures away! I would love to be your pets home away from home and spoil them with attention, play, and cuddles while you are away. ❤️ I do pet care along side my other businesses at home. I will sometimes go out to DoorDash around lunch and dinner time for just a couple hours at a time. Otherwise I will be at the house. I try to follow the owners regular routine to the best of my ability. If you have specific feeding, walk, kennel times, or other routines you would like to keep in place please let me know! Otherwise I work with your pet, offering potty breaks whenever needed, two feedings a day, large walks 1-2 times a day, unlimited water, and bed time the same as however you would do it at home. All walks must be leashed as I do not have a fenced in yard. The neighborhood has large open streets and side walks, with a large park only a 5 minute walk away.

“Jasmine is amazing!! This is the first time we have left our dog at home when we went on vacation and Jasmine made it stress free! I can’t recommend her enough. She is a dog person and not only that she will make sure your home is locked and safe while you are away. If you are looking for your new dog sitter, look no further, she is absolutely amazing!”

About: My dogs and I have been through AKC certified obedience training I'm experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time Can housesit and care for dogs with special needs Providing positive reinforcement and tasty bribes is my main method of gaining trust with a new dog friend. I'm open to meeting and discussing all forms of service ahead of time I have a flexible part time job that is generally from 9 - 4 Monday through Friday. These times are flexible so if you have a question about a particular day feel free to ask My 2 dogs and I walk almost everyday around our neighborhood just to get some adventure and smell some new fire hydrants. My house has a wood 6' privacy fence around the backyard and I have time to them out 5 or 6 times a day for bathroom breaks or to just run around an play. My dogs started being crate trained as a puppy but as they have grown older and more trusty we use them less and less. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and treat training to bond and build rapport. I feel comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes and would prefer to take care of new dogs in their home environment first. My dogs: I have a 6 year old 60lb female Portuguese water dog -- She's a big napper, cuddler and loves cats. My 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.

About: Hello! I’m Mariah, and I have a dog (Salem) and three cats, Wren, Luke and Dorian. I have a strong love/passion for animals. My animals are like my children! We go out on walks, go for car rides, play with toys, play in the backyard and snuggle! They love to play with other dogs and cats. They are very gentle. Wren, likes to hide, and come out for food and cuddles in the evenings. He gets along with other animals, it just takes him some time to warm up. Luke and Dorian are both very social and love to play! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals. I grew up on a small farm. We had horses, goats, pigs, and chickens. We also had many dogs and cats that I cared for. I am a former Animal Control Officer and have worked for another pet-sitting company. I have been trained to recognize different behaviors in dogs, administer medications to both dogs and cats, and will be pet first aid certified. I promise to treat your pets like their royalty and treat them as if they were my own. I look forward to having your fur baby stay with us! I currently work a full-time job however, I am only 13 minutes between work and home. I come home for an hour to let my babies out during the week. I am home on the weekends. If I am away, it is just for a few hours at a time. We like to play in the backyard and go on walks around the block. I can work around whatever schedule you and your babies needs! Additionally, I live on the same block as the Emergency Vet Clinic, which is about a 1 minute's drive. I am in the process of becoming Pet CPR and First Aid certified. For Drop in visits, dog walking I only service Springfield. I care for my babies throughout the day. In the mornings when we get up, they go outside and eat, and throughout the day around every 2 to 4 hours, I let them outside to go get some exercise. for about 30 minutes, they eat again around 5 PM. If I am away, it is just for a few hours at a time. We like to play in the backyard and go on walks around the block. If you message me before 7:30am and after 8pm I will respond when I am able to. I can work around whatever schedule you and your babies needs! Additionally, I live on the same block as the Emergency Vet Clinic, which is about a 1 minute's drive. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified.

About: I’ve taken care of pets on military bases for about 4-6 years watching animals and taking them out while people are on vacation or have been sent out of state somewhere. I’m fairly flexible. I work in the morning from 7am- 330pm So I’m good at spending time with them during my breaks and after work. I only work a few days a week so I am also good for night schedules. I try to keep my focus to the animal itself only touching things that relate to the pet and their environment. I am very respectful in a clients home, I’m good at cleaning up any messes quick and efficiently and don’t really get grossed out easily. I am good at following directions and keeping boundaries.

About: The oldest cat I’ve owned lived to be 17 years old. He had issues with his thyroid and needed daily prescription medication which I gave him successfully at home. I’ve also cared for 3 kittens who needed to be fed milk from a bottle and litter box trained. I have experience caring for kittens to senior cats. I work from home so my schedule is pretty free to stop in and meet the needs of your cat. Providing fresh water, food, and thorough litter box cleaning are just the basics. I’m also readily available to provide gentle playtimes with your cat and to give loving pats, if they desire. My cats are provided with fresh water every morning and their water bowls are cleaned every week. My cats are fed a high quality homemade food when they ask/demand it. The litter box is checked twice a day and any waste is removed immediately. The area around the litter box is kept neat and tidy daily. A variety of safe, cat friendly toys are provided as well as a scratch pad. My current cat was adopted last year at 2 years old. She loves being outside and is an indoor/outdoor cat. The cats I have watched for friends, in their homes, were checked on regularly and all of their needs were met. I spent extra time with the cats, including the shy ones, just talking to them but not forcing my company on them.

“Dependable, great with cat and feeding worms to our bluebird's. Will use again”

About: I’ve always have had some type of animal to take care of when growing up. Currently have 2 big fur babies that are basically just as spoiled as a human child. You can choose me knowing that your fur babies would be in loving and experienced hands. I currently have a full time job in the dentistry world, therefore mainly available on weekends and possibly some walks after work throughout the week days! Unfortunately I can’t take any fur babies for over night stays due to having my own but you can relax knowing your pup will always be cared, spoiled, and loved when it is with me even if it’s just for a short walk or a quick play date!

About: I have taken care of my own pets and friends, and neighbors for the past years since i was at least 13. I love animals and every kind! This is basically my job right now as a stay at home momma so i’m always here or always available to your pet for whatever they need! I have a front yard that is not fenced. I have 2 doggos and a one year old, we are a very pet friendly home :) My dogs are good with other dogs as well and my daughter loves dogs!! Me and my husband have a pretty good schedule so someone is usually always here with our pets.
