It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!

Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!

About: My name is Jessica, my partner Richard and I have recently decided to open our home to boarding again! While I have much experience with cats, Richard has got quite the history raising dogs. He was born into a home with a well educated German Shepherd. His father trained mainly Pit-bulls and Shepherds, and his grandparents raised and bred Keeshons and Golden Labs during much of his and our lifetime together. We have always had a special interest and investment in raising and training canines! Not just big dogs but little ones too. His mother worked with a rescue shelter that also certified and 'dispatched' therapy animals. Together we have certainly learned a lot about taking care of pets. Both Richard and I have the patience, heart, and experience to provide excellent care for some of the most special of needy dogs. We have one cat, her name is Shade! If we have a pooch over for the night she stays with her brother Dexter, who lives nearby. Please, if your pet requires any medication or has any special needs, please outline those needs specifically with a written note and verbal communication upon arrival. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment, non-smoking, we have a small parking lot out front and a unfenced yard in the back. There are two friendly neighboors who both have cats and also love furry animals, the kitties stay inside and are well mannered. Neither of them are very 'sharp and pointy.' I drive a hatchback and can transport dogs up to a large size who are well car-broken. We enjoy strolling through washington park and hanging out at the dog park on the North end of town (Stuart park.) We and your pet will not go anywhere together, (other than our home and neighboorhood,) without your express permission. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment with small back yard behind the building. Potty breaks are every 2-3 hours until bedtime. We heed special dietary requests, or otherwise will feed our animal friends when we do with controlled portions three times a day.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

I originally came from Wag! a different dog walking/sitting app with over 800 completed services with a 5 star rating. I trained puppies, taken care of senior dogs, administered insulin, and love caring for dogs of all sizes. I have done dog walking/ pet sitting full time for a few years and currently looking for new clients as I moved to this area from Nashville TN. I prefer sitting in my clients home, it makes me comfortable knowing the pet is in their space and have their familiar surroundings. And following the routine the owners have given me to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and safe while they are away!

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

About: Professional, responsible, mature male recently relocated to Springfield. No children- but have always had several dogs and cats. Have volunteered for over two decades with various welfare groups as well. Have actually been petless for over a year now- prior work schedule. Love all dogs and cats- and pets for that matter. Am wanting low key opportunity to work doing EXACTLY what I love- being around pets. Am very flexible, very responsible (have passed multiple extensive background checks for previous employment). Am very responsible, dependable, and absolutely cool under pressure. Am also very flexible and more than able to accommodate last minute and or emergency requests as well. Each and every client will be treated as my own! Thank you for your interest and time. I am very flexible and available 7 days a week- all hours of the day. Will also travel , within reasonable distance. Thank you- Stefan Currently am only available to take care of pets in their home, not my own. In emergency situations will consider my home or other options.

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

I have potty trained puppies and had them until they passed of old age. We work 4-5 days a week and are looking to help pet owners who need someone to drop by during the week or stay on a weekend. We can come by frequently to let dogs out to potty or give kitties some extra attention. we will put food out at the correct times, make sure water bowls are full, give treats if allowed, and scoop litter boxes if needed! we would love instructions on what you and your pet like best!

It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!

Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!
