“Katelyn did an amazing job and took care of things that I didn't even ask her to do. Sent updates and pictures of my kitties. They seemed very comfortable with her which is amazing since they are typically scared of strangers. Will definitely use her again the next time we are out of town 🥰”

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.

About: I started pet sitting when I was 11 years old. I cared for my neighbors dogs for many years along with many other neighborhood dogs. Recently, I went to a professional canine training school where I learned to train competition obedience, scent detection, tracking, agility, and many other things. Obviously, I have a passion for animals that has consumed me since I was a young child. I’m starting my own dog training business out of my home so it’s very convenient for me to board dogs while I run my business. Find me on Facebook under Guiding Eye K9 for more details. I have a fenced in yard and a pet dog. Reacher was my program partner as school; he loves other dogs and is very well trained but he is a working dog so I don’t usually allow other dogs to interact with him. I live with my sister who has three small children but they are well behaved and they understand to be respectful of dogs that don’t know them. I myself have quite a bit of experience as dog handler and trainer-I care for all dogs like they are my own.
