Cat Sitting Turners

About: I am an experienced dog and cat mom, who recognizes that each pet has their own personality and needs. As an animal rescuer, I've fostered dogs from the age of 1-day old to hospice seniors. One of my "foster fails" is a formerly fear aggressive pittie mix. He lives separately from the rest of my pack and is happiest when snuggling with his kitten and a stuffed squeaky. I am comfortable administering medications and attentively monitor the animals in my care to ensure their health and happiness. I love to share daily pictures with pet parents! I work from home and have flexibility to ensure coverage tailored to your pet family. I am available to visit your home multiple times a day for potty, play and affection. My goal is to maintain the same habits and environment that my client would if they were at home. Whether the animal sleeps in a crate at night or has free range of their home, I follow any house rules. At night, I enjoy reading them a bedtime story and playing gentle music to calm everone to sleep. Some pups like to sit quietly during a visit while others want to be tired out with a game of throw. I tailor my visits to the daily needs of the pet.

“Ashlyn was very responsive and was always on time and gave me multiple pictures so I always knew how things were at home when I was gone. It was a last minute booking and yet she still worked with me and made things happen and I couldn’t recommend a better person to watch a furry friend!”

“Our cat-kids love Breelyn! And we always appreciate Breelyn’s professionalism, punctuality, and friendliness! It’s nice to have someone we can trust to take care of them!”

“Anna did great with my two cats making sure they have food and water and were happy. I made the booking wrong and she was able to accommodate me multiple times with no issue. Would definitely recommend her to other pet parents going out of town.”

I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m available all weekends, as well as before 12 PM and after 5:30 PM on weekdays, but I occasional work as early as 8 AM. With nearly four years of professional experience as a kennel technician and at a pet resort, I provide reliable care, feeding, and attention to keep your furry friend happy and safe.

About: I have had dogs since I was little I know the in and outs of raising puppies and kittens. My family currently has 4 dogs and 7 cats. We also have a ton of farm animals! I know how to take care of small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, and gerbils! I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I know how to break up potential dog fights and how to take extra caution while walking a reactive dog. I am an 18 year old college student, and I have a very flexible schedule! I am currently an unemployed college student so any time I don’t have class I’m available! Monday & Wednesday: 6am-9am, 11am-Noon, 1:30pm-Midnight Tuesday: 6am-11:45am, 2:15pm-Midnight Thursday: 6am-9am, 11am-Noon, 2:15-Midnight Friday-Sunday: 6am-Midnight I will only be able to care for your animals in your home, the dorms do not allow pets, but I am willing to take dogs out on adventures to different parks around the area if you are okay with them being in my car. I use a seatbelt leash for any dogs, I do not let pets be unrestrained in my vehicle but I am also willing to just take them on a walk around the neighborhood! I am able to come for any feeding times and just to let them out to go potty and run around the yard!

“Adrienne was fantastic! We have a pretty anxious cat and she can be fiesty. She gave us updates during each visit, and was super respectful of our cat’s boundaries. Her top priority was making sure our cat felt comfortable while we were on our trip. I definitely would recommend her!”

“Miranda did amazing with our little puppy! She followed all instructions and was very respectful of our home! We definitely will be booking with her again :)”

“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”

About: I have had pets my entire life. Since moving to Springfield, I have helped multiple friends take care of their pets while they have traveled. I have experience with kittens and puppies all the way up to Great Danes. I currently have two pit bulls, a shiba inu and a ball python at home. Every pet and every home is different. You can trust that I will handle instructions exactly. I approach every animal slowly and with the respect they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I’m able to work pet visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while I’m there.

“Brianna was an amazing pet sitter! She had great communication the entire time, sent lots of pictures and updates, and took such good care of our cats. We especially appreciated how comfortable and reliable she was with giving prescription medication, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. Highly recommend her”

About: I have over a decade of personal care with pets of all kinds! Dogs, cats, horses, chameleons, you name it! I also have 4 years of professional experience in doggy daycares around the Springfield metro area. I’m well versed in special diets, administering medication, reading and respecting pet body language, and making sure your furry friend feels as comfortable as possible while they eagerly await your return. While it’s so important for your pet to feel safe and comfortable, it’s important for you to feel the same. That’s why I offer my services out of my home or yours! I can visit once a day, three times a day, or even keep your pet all night! I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furry babies! I can’t wait to meet you :) I am in school and work a part time job! I’m in school Monday-Thursday from 8am to 11am. On Mondays and Tuesdays, I also work from home u til 5pm. While I do have other responsibilities, I will always try to be as flexible as needed in order to make you and your pet feel happy and comfortable. I live in a large apartment near the greenway trails so I have so many things I can show your furry friend! Working from home lets me bend to you and your pets routine as much as I possibly can in my own home, or in yours! I believe pets thrive on a routine and it’s important to me that I’m giving your pets their normal day to day to the best of my ability!

About: Please send me all of your cute fur babies my way! Hi, there! I’m Korina. I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

About: I have taken care of many kinds of pets ever since I was 10 years old. I have experience giving baths, giving medication, leash walking, post surgery care and scheduled feeding times. I am currently working full time but have free time on the weekends to stop in or take your precious fur babies on a walk. I have a small fenced in area for potty breaks and am comfortable crating your pet if needed. I have two dogs of my own that are very friendly and can keep your babies company as well.

About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.
