Highly-rated overnight sitters - Springfield
“Shayla was great. Scheduled a pre-sitting meet up, and was available at the times requested. Our Oso was excited from the time we got there. Pictures were sent throughout the stay and he was well cared for and socialized during the stay. Would definitely book with her any time.”
“Maria provided excellent care for my over energetic dog. She sent updates with photos throughout Leia’s stay. Thank you for accommodating Leia and taking care of her so well!”
“Renee took good care of my baby! She is very sweet and when I dropped off my dog I can tell she's a good one! She's very accommodating too even though I was late dropping off/picking up my dog. My pup just slept the whole night when I we got home, he really had a good time! Will book Renee again, she lives further from me but totally worth the drive because I know my dog is in good hands ! I finally found a good sitter in the area.”
“This is our 2nd time booking with Ashley! Our dog loves it - she sends adorable videos and photos to help you feel at ease, as a pet parent. We definitely recommend Ashley!”
“This was the first time that I left my pup with anyone other than family. My experience was great! My baby is big but not harmless at all. Nakita & her family took him in as their own. She sent pictures along the way so that I knew he was okay! Those pics showed that he was more than okay. I will definitely allow my baby to stay with this family again! Thanks so much Nakita!”
“Kaelyn was amazing! She gave Benne a safe place to stay while we went away for the holidays. She and her family loved him like he was theirs, even their dog Leo loved Benne. She sent regular pictures and videos so we wouldn't miss him too much. We will definitely use her again!”
“Qinrong and her family were great! I rarely asked for an update because I received pictures and updates all throughout the day every day. The environment was clean, and everyone was friendly. I was really comfortable with the care that Eli received. I definitely would rebook with Qinrong.”
“Elizabeth was an amazing Rover! I met with her beforehand and introduced my dog to hers. During the overnight stay, she sent us updates on our dog throughout. I knew our dog was happy and safe the entire time. Highly recommend having your pets stay with Elizabeth!”
“Amanda was great with Roxie. She sent pictures showing how he was doing during our vacation which made me feel better about leaving her. Roxie had her own vacation and loved it. I will definitely be using her again. My first experience with a sitter was great thanks to Amanda.”
“Tressa was fantastic with Tallulah! We were a bit nervous because this was our first time leaving her with anyone. Tressa stayed in constant contact by sending pictures and videos. She didn't just send pictures of our girl sitting alone, but showed her in action with her new pal. We will definitely make Tressa our first choice when we need boarding. You cannot go wrong with Tressa.”
“Mary and Nathan were great with our pups while we went away. They were well loved and our pups lived every min seeing the pictures we received. It made our hearts feel so much better knowing they were being loved whole we enjoyed some time away. Thank you again.”
“Brandy kept me updated with pics and fun stories of my pups the whole time I was gone! I’m so grateful she was available on the holiday weekend and that she was able to treat my pups with such kindness.”
“Brydget and her husband are amazing!! They were wonderful with our boys and sent pictures and communicated often. Our one boy is a pup and they trained him a bit and got him calmed down. We had an emergency while out of town and they are being so understanding & patient with us! They are being so accommidating with the situation. They have even offered to just keep them forever for us... NO! LOL But we will definitely be rebooking them for any trips we take!”
“Scruffy got to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Leigh and her sweet pups. Leigh sent great pictures and fun updates every day. When I picked him up it was obvious he was torn between wanting to stay with Leigh and head home. Leigh certainly provides a wonderful home away from home!”
“Helia was absolutely wonderful. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates and felt completely at ease while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Helia made it effortless. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I could not have chosen a better sitter for my senior baby. Kash was delightful to say the least!! She took such good care of my baby!! Kash also gave awesome communication throughout the day, giving us pics and updates. I will definitely book with Kash again in the future 💕”
“Kyle and his wife were AMAZING with our Cockapoo, Benji! They were communicative, attentive, and went above and beyond, with our geriatric pup. It’s not easy leaving your special needs dog with someone, and they made it so much easier. Thank you, Kyle and Karlie. We will definitely be trusting Benji with you, again.”
“I left my 2 year old lab Belle with Julie and Chris so we could go on our family vacation for one week. At the meet and greet Julie asked all the necessary questions on how to take care of Belle. Belle and Parma were instant friends at the meet and greet! I feel lucky to have found such nice people to take care of Belle in our neighborhood. I received daily updates on Belle pictures and videos. I highly recommend Julie and Chris they are true dog people!!!”

“Ashley was great. I had a particularly long trip, and Wobbles was well looked after. Ashley even went the extra mile to water my plants. I recommend her without reservation.”
“Was very impressed with how well the babies were taken care of and would definitely recommend booking with Liliana. She was so sweet to my babies even the scaly ones. Thank you for taking good care of my babies.”
“Miss Shayla is out of this world. My kitty is definitely a special one who needs a lot of attention and care. She did just that; she was very communicative, detailed, punctual and sent pictures every visit and my kitty loved her! I felt very at ease being gone knowing he was in great hands. Hands down would recommend Shayla to anyone ❤”
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
“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 understand that every cat has their own personality, some are social and playful, while others prefer space and a calm environment. I’m comfortable adjusting to their needs and letting them come to me on their own terms. I keep litter boxes clean, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure your cat feels safe and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide playtime or just quiet companionship, depending on what they enjoy.
“Thank you Kari, for taking care of our cat's, while we were gone. We appreciated the daily updates with photos, and you were very accommodating to our scheduleing requests.”
About: I have a ragdoll cat that it was to rescue from a really really bad home. She had bad fleas and a lot of scabs and a really bad chicken allergy. I was able to nurse her back to health and get her in a stable condition she has been with me for two years now and she has not had a single outbreak since we discovered her chicken allergy so I know how to get a cat medicine and treat open wounds. I also know how to handle a cat with allergies.
“Brandy communicated very well and was able to check on my kitty with short notice, and during a holiday week! I would recommend Brandy for drop-ins with your fur babies!”
“Lillian was very helpful with my animals. She was on time for each visit and did some extra playing with my animals which I really appreciate she communicated with me very well if she wasn’t sure about anything, but she did an amazing job and my animals loved her. Definitely will be booking with her again.😊😊😊😊😊”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our 2 dogs! She responds quickly, sent us pictures from her drop ins, and my dogs LOVED her!! We will definitely hire her next time we need care for our dogs!”
About: I am a registered veterinary technician with 10 years of experience caring for animals! I am able to administer medications as needed, including injections (i.e: insulin for diabetic animals). I am available Wednesday-Friday and some Saturdays and Sundays. I work part time and stay home with my daughter the rest of the week, so she may be with me for drop ins and walks. I have 10+ years of experience as an RVT and work in a specialty setting, so I am very comfortable with pets who have more complex needs.
“This was out first time leaving our Tachi at home and Madysen was such an excellent help! She was quick to respond and she really set all our worries at ease. Whenever we next travel, I’ll definitely be reaching out again, and you should too!!”

“We reached out to Maria for a last-minute request and she was not only able to accommodate, but was very flexible with us. Sika had an awesome time lounging around with Maria and her family; I thought we may have a hard time getting her to come home with us! 🤣 We will definitely be reaching out to Maria in the future for any of our sitting needs for Sika in this area!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and cared for pets of others as well through the years. My husband and I both work from home so we have availability to look after the pets of others daily. We have a dog a cat who get along with other pets. We have adopted puppies and young adult dogs and successfully trained them to be very good dogs. We have cared for senior dogs as well. In our home the pets can be wherever the humans are, including the furniture indoors and outside. I am self employed and work from home so my daily schedule is very open for pet sitting. My husband also works from home so there is always someone home to look after the pets and make sure their needs are being met. Our home is very dog friendly. Everywhere humans can be the dogs can be also. The backyard is fenced in and the gate is rarely ever opened. We have cameras everywhere so we always have a visual of what's going on inside and outside in the yard. If needed we have a baby gate to section off areas for pets.

“Piper loves her stays ❤️❤️ I really appreciate the great communication and all the picture updates. I’m usually very cautious about sending Piper to other people’s home, but Brydget and Chad put my mind completely at ease. I never have any worries when Piper is with them, and I fully trust their care. Plus they get all of Piper’s photogenic angles 😉”

About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.
About: I am a pet lover who really enjoys to engage with animals. It is a form of therapy as well as exercise for both me and your fur. I have been around animals all my life. I enjoy being a caregiver for such an important part of your family. I have experience with show dogs, grooming, and dog behavior. My number one concern is giving the owner piece of mind that one’s pet is safe and cared for while the owner is away. A dogs surroundings is what makes that fur most comfortable. It will be an honor to serve you and your pet. Finally, I will provide you daily updates, pictures, and videos of the care and love I provide to your pet. Thank you for trusting me with an important part of your family

About: Welcome to Bed N. Biscuit Petcare!❤️ My name is Shayla (34 years old) and I am excited to share my petsitting journey/business with you. ▪️Get to know me: I was born and raised in Valdosta, GA. In my hometown, I volunteered at the local animal shelter for 4 years working with domestic, exotic and farm pets. I knew then animals was my love and enjoyment. Following my passion for animals, I moved to the city of Savannah where I graduated from Armstrong State University with a bachelors in Biology and volunteered at a local wildlife rehabilitation center. I have learned and developed my Veterinary skills and knowledge from working as a kennel technician caring for pets in a boarding environment then naturally transitioning to a Veterinary technician career at a general vet hospital and then later at a specialty practice that included oncology, neurology, physical therapy, internal medicine and also ER. I enjoy applying my years of experience to the well-being of animals and now offering pet care services. My dream home would be living on a farm but for now my husband (Antonio), our son (Levi) and I live with our pitbull mix (Oreo), pitbull puppy (Pixie), bearded dragon (Arlo) and a fish (Zira). When not volunteering or fostering, I can be found at dog parks with Oreo and Pixie or fishing with my husband and son. I currently work 3 days out the week at Pooler Vet Hospital and offer drop-in services around my work schedule and boarding in my home. ****Please continue to read to ensure full understanding of my business. Thank you for your interest and consideration. **** ————————————————————— [Bed N’ Biscuit’s Information] ▪️Complimentary Meet & Greet Meet & Greet (one): Drop-in meet & greet are done at the location the pet is needing care and scheduled upon our agreed date and time (video chat option also available).

I care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home. Great for potty/play breaks during long work schedules and extended vacations or for more sensitive/elder pets for example. Included in this service (if applicable) is bringing in mail, rotating house lights, playtime/potty time for your pet(s), and poop clean up (using your provided materials), litter box scooping. **Prices vary for small animal care or homestead animal care* ————————————————————— [Bed N Biscuit General Rules] • All pets receiving services must be up to date on Rabies vaccine. I’m currently working as a Vet Tech 3 days a week so I offer drop-in and boarding services around my work schedule and am a stay at home mom when not at the hospital.

Any boarding dogs will receive all care and routine in the comfort of my family home. Boarding is provided 1 per household at a time with a max of 2 pets per household.

About: I had a a mixed breed dog she lived until she was about 11 years old. She had a heart murmur and a really bad knee so I know how to help support a dog that might have health problems or mobility issues. I have taken care of another larger dog of border collie blue heeler mix that has battled dislocating hips, throwing out her back and cancer. She is 11 now I have worked with a senior Great Pyrenees and I know these aren’t dogs, but I have taken care of multiple rescue animals from anything from fish all the way up to a cat and I have nursed every single one of them back to health so I do have experience giving animals medicines My schedule is a little bit all over the place. I never really know exactly what days I am off or not but as of right now, I should be available between 11 a.m. to about 2 PM but depending on the day I can work later I will make sure that your pet will not get into anything. It’s not supposed to make sure your pet does not escape your house. I will follow your instructions of how you want me to take care to your pet if your pet is to be let outside in a gate I will make sure that the gate is locked and secured if your dog needs to be chained outside. I will make sure that the chain and whatever it is secure to is stable and the dog will not get loose. I will ensure your pet safety if I’m walking your dog or if it’s in your house, I will make sure that no other animal comes after your pet. If I am at your home, I’m not gonna let anybody into your home that you do not personally know and without your verbal consent that that person can enter your home.

Unlike many standard services, I offer personalized care plans that take into account everything from dietary restrictions and exercise routines to favorite toys and cuddle spots. My experience includes working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I'm skilled at recognizing subtle cues in their behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Furthermore, I provide real-time updates and photos throughout the day, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in good hands. I’m currently not working. So I can be with your furry family at any time or day that is needed. To insure comfort for you and them. I have huge fenced in back yard. With lots of running room. I have dog and cat treats. I love going on walks and or running with your furry friends.
About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and 15+ years caring for my own animals, I treat every pet like family. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, your way, ensuring your pet feels loved and safe while in my care! My open weekly schedule is a little bit tricky due to me working full-time about 20 minutes away. My availability on those days would only be to the pets who don’t need to be let out side for about an eight hour period until I got home. Otherwise, my weekend schedule is fully open and I can be home all day to let any pets outside that I would need to. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and walks—with help from my two kids (ages 9 and 11) to keep them company. Pets are welcome on my furniture! In your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and tailor care to your pet’s needs in any way you request.

I hope to be able to offer in home services as time passes in the future. When I provide care for you pets, my promise to you is that your home will be just the way you left it.
“Brandy has been great, we communicated initially to match the schedules, and she was accommodating, got back to me promptly. I am pleased with the service that Brandy is providing.”
About: I lost my dog who was my best friend from the time he was 3 months old to 14 years old. I have watched both large and small dogs, dogs of different temperaments, personalities, healthcare needs, and activity levels. I have experience watching cats of all different ages, personalities and activity levels as well. I also have four grand-kitties that I watch when their parents go out of town. I do have limited experience caring for reptiles but am always willing to learn what your baby needs! I will care for, and love on, your pets like the family members they are! I am a stay-at-home pet lover who has lots of time to devote to your pet. I am available weekdays or weekends to take care of your fur babies. Whether it’s walks in the park or outside in the yard, potty breaks during the day, dropping by to feed, staying with your pets to make them comfortable while you’re gone, or just providing play and companionship so they aren’t alone, or anything else you may need for your pet, I can accommodate.

I’m a full time worker but I have full availability all weekends. With certain days through the week I have off occasionally.

He gets to run all day outside, he’s on a special diet with multiple supplements to ensure he is healthy. I take care of each animal as they were my own because that is what they deserve.

“Shayla was great. Scheduled a pre-sitting meet up, and was available at the times requested. Our Oso was excited from the time we got there. Pictures were sent throughout the stay and he was well cared for and socialized during the stay. Would definitely book with her any time.”
“Maria provided excellent care for my over energetic dog. She sent updates with photos throughout Leia’s stay. Thank you for accommodating Leia and taking care of her so well!”
“Renee took good care of my baby! She is very sweet and when I dropped off my dog I can tell she's a good one! She's very accommodating too even though I was late dropping off/picking up my dog. My pup just slept the whole night when I we got home, he really had a good time! Will book Renee again, she lives further from me but totally worth the drive because I know my dog is in good hands ! I finally found a good sitter in the area.”
“This is our 2nd time booking with Ashley! Our dog loves it - she sends adorable videos and photos to help you feel at ease, as a pet parent. We definitely recommend Ashley!”
“This was the first time that I left my pup with anyone other than family. My experience was great! My baby is big but not harmless at all. Nakita & her family took him in as their own. She sent pictures along the way so that I knew he was okay! Those pics showed that he was more than okay. I will definitely allow my baby to stay with this family again! Thanks so much Nakita!”
“Mary and Nathan were great with our pups while we went away. They were well loved and our pups lived every min seeing the pictures we received. It made our hearts feel so much better knowing they were being loved whole we enjoyed some time away. Thank you again.”

“Brydget and her husband are amazing!! They were wonderful with our boys and sent pictures and communicated often. Our one boy is a pup and they trained him a bit and got him calmed down. We had an emergency while out of town and they are being so understanding & patient with us! They are being so accommidating with the situation. They have even offered to just keep them forever for us... NO! LOL But we will definitely be rebooking them for any trips we take!”
“Helia was absolutely wonderful. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates and felt completely at ease while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Helia made it effortless. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I could not have chosen a better sitter for my senior baby. Kash was delightful to say the least!! She took such good care of my baby!! Kash also gave awesome communication throughout the day, giving us pics and updates. I will definitely book with Kash again in the future 💕”
“I left my 2 year old lab Belle with Julie and Chris so we could go on our family vacation for one week. At the meet and greet Julie asked all the necessary questions on how to take care of Belle. Belle and Parma were instant friends at the meet and greet! I feel lucky to have found such nice people to take care of Belle in our neighborhood. I received daily updates on Belle pictures and videos. I highly recommend Julie and Chris they are true dog people!!!”
“Amazing experience with Haley and her husband. They took excellent care of our large dog and would definitely board with them in the future. They were very flexible with pick up and drop off and very accommodating to our dog.”
“Cristina was wonderful to our Murphy & us! She sent pictures and updates each day so I had no worries. Murphy had a great time and very well cared for. Will use Cristina again and recommend her with 10 stars! Thank you, thank you!”
“Morgan took such good care of my little honeybun!! It was so hard to leave him for the holidays, especially his first Christmas. Morgan communicated and sent picture updates throughout the 15days. Oreo was so happy to see us, but sad to be leaving Morgan. We will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so very much!!!”
“Marshall is an excellent sitter with decades of experience and a true passion for dogs. His house is like a dogs paradise, and his two dogs Tristan and Luna are every dog’s best friend. Hazel came back calm, happy, and i got some great training advice from him”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I am an extreme animal lover and care deeply about the well-being of them. I love to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I have the ability to adapt my care to specific needs and personalities of your pets. I have a clear understanding that younger pups need a different environment than a gentle senior, and I pride myself on providing specialized attention for both. I can follow strict schedules and instructions with no problem. I’ve also administered necessary medications to several pups. I aim to be more than just a sitter, but rather a dedicated partner in your pets health and happiness. I currently work for the school system so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I am free every day of the week (excluding Sunday) so you can take your vacations in peace, worry-free, knowing your dog is in good hands. I have plenty of space to walk your pets and one friendly dog of my own who can keep your pup company. Several toys will be available, as well as comfy spaces for quick naps. I am open to hearing what treats your dog enjoys so I will be stocked with them.
“Loved Jordan! He sent me updated and pics and video assuring me that my fur baby was in good hands! Knowing that Riley was comfortable made me a lot less stressed about being away for a few days. Will definitely book with him again!”
