“I honestly can’t rave enough about how kind, patient and caring she is with our wild boxer pup. This is the 2nd time we book her and we are so happy with the amount of updates she shared with us.”

About: Hi pet parents! My mother and I have lived in Springfield our entire lives, and we've been caring for dogs in our home since 2017. We've loved every one of them. We keep our groups small, so each pup gets plenty of attention and someone is always around to keep an eye on them. We'll also send daily photo updates, so you never have to wonder how they're doing. We have a large quarter acre fenced yard connected to our home, and the dogs go out together about 4-5 times a day for around 30 minutes each. We adjust that based on your dog's age and the weather. Dogs of all sizes are welcome. We've added custom gates inside our home, so bigger and smaller dogs can have their own space when needed, and older pups can get some peace and quiet. I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Rottweiler, and now we have the complete opposite: a small, shy Sheltie we adopted from one of our past clients. Living with her has made us especially good with nervous pups, and we're also comfortable with seniors, puppies, and dogs who need medication. I've been crazy about animals since I was a kid and was sure I'd be a vet one day. Caring for other people's dogs turned out to be the next best thing. I'm pet first aid certified, and we sanitize our home daily to keep everyone clean and healthy. Come by for a meet and greet, check out the yard, and let your pup sniff around. I'll ask lots of questions about their routine and personality so they feel right at home. Send us a message anytime. We'd love to meet you both! 🐾 We do this full time, so someone's always home with your dog. We're in Springfield, right next to Summit and Short Hills, so drop off is quick and easy. Short notice is totally fine. If a work trip comes up or you decide to head down the shore for the weekend, just message us and we'll let you know right away if we have room. We'll keep your dog on the same feeding and med schedule they have at home. Our home opens onto a large, fully fenced and attached quarter-acre yard, so playtime is always secure. Inside, we've added custom gates so bigger and smaller dogs can have their own space, and older pups can get some peace and quiet. We are pet first aid and Fear Free Certified®, and we sanitize our home daily to keep everyone healthy. Our own dog is a shy little Sheltie we adopted from a past client, and living with her has made us especially good with nervous pups. We're also comfortable with seniors, puppies, and dogs who need medication. You'll get photo updates every day, and we'd love to have you over for a meet and greet so your pup can sniff around the yard first.

“Kethely was so sweet to my quirky munchkins and kept me updated throughout. I haven’t felt so secure about leaving my pets in a long time! I will absolutely book her again :)”

About: Love all types of fur babies! And ready to take care of yours like they’re my own. My boyfriend and I have our own shelter with 10 dogs and 6 cats at our farm in Colombia. Ready to stay active and go on a run or give them all the pets they need and let them nap! Up to the pup or kitty! I’m currently working part time so I’m available during the morning time and for overnight stays. And I love to take walks so if I can stay active and take your fur baby out, that’s perfect! I will take care of your pet as you wish! First, we would establish important health need-to-knows, routines, ground rules, do’s and don’t’s, then I’d be able make sure everyone is comfortable and clear about your pet’s needs.

“Anthony sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how our dogs and cat were doing while we were away. He quickly responded to all messages and left our house very clean.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful 3-month-old puppies to senior dogs up to 14 years old, as well as breeds of all sizes. I’m also experienced in caring for dogs with complex medical needs, including administering medications, providing specialized baths, and following specific care routines. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing loving, patient, and reliable care to help every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently in graduate school for clinical mental health psychology, leaving me with open time during the day to care for your pet or pets. Respect for your home is my utmost priority. If applicable, when walking your pet I will ensure their safety by avoiding other dogs and remaining on safe streets.

About: I have been proud to be a shih tzu owner for 3 years with my family. I have also been pet sitting and walking since I was 12 I walk and feed my dog on a daily basis. I also play with him during my free time and weather permitting, take him to the dog park I currently live in an apartment while occasionally staying at my parents house. I make sure to give them the care they need and show them how much they are loved.

“Lindsey was an absolute pleasure! She was kind and amazing to our girls! She was a respectful guest and updated us daily. Will be using her again!”

About: For the past ten years, I’ve been the trusted go‑to pet caregiver for friends and colleagues; whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or simply stuck at work longer than expected. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-baby, which is why I treat every pet I take care of as if they were my own. I have done everything from daily dog walks and feeding routines to scooping litter, administering medication, and giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Supporting happy, healthy pets brings me so much joy, and I’m committed to giving your furry family member the same level of care you would! I am currently in the process of switching full-time jobs, so my availability is open to daily walks and pet-sitting seven days a week! I will make sure to let you know if my availability changes. I live in an apartment, so all pet care takes place in my client’s home. I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like my own—following your routines, keeping their space safe and tidy, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.

“Rwitika is simply outstanding in all respects whether caring, sense of responsibility, attitude, everything. We will look forward to contact her again as and when we need Brady’s care during our absence.”

“Roma was lovely and sent really funny photos of our little ones each day. We felt very comfortable with her and came home to happy munchkins!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a big family of pet lovers where dogs and cats were always running around, so caring for animals comes naturally to me! I currently have three dogs of my own, including my sweet 15 yr old yorkie and a lively tuxedo kitten. Because of my experience with my senior dog and my kitten, I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy kitten playtime to gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience or meds. As a nursing student, I bring a detail oriented, calm, and responsible approach to every visit, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. I am currently in nursing school, which gives me great availability in the afternoons and evenings for walkies, drop-in visits, feeding, and play sessions. I am also fully open and available for overnight house sitting! I make sure to structure my routine around your pet’s exact schedule so their day feels completely seamless. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and treat every animal like my own family. During house sitting or drop-ins, I stick strictly to your feeding, walking, and medication instructions, send frequent photos and updates, and ensure your home stays secure. My nursing background means I’m naturally attentive to subtle changes in energy, behavior, or comfort.

“Mille was awesome. Super responsible and loved her personality!! She was great with my dog.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from Brittiany. She was kind, reliable, and resposible. She sent frequent updates and asked questions, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The house was left spotless, and our dog seemed relaxed, happy, and extremely well-cared-for when we returned. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust with both our home and Maia. We will absolutely be booking again!”
