“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Michelle was so incredibly wonderful, I honestly feel like I have hit the jackpot with finding her and her husband. My Griff was so happy he didn't even realize I was done. Hands down best experience I have had thus far! Will be a repeat customer!”
“Another great visit with Molly's favorite all-time sitter! As soon as we pull into the neighborhood, she gets so excited, and she has a blast every time. Beth always gives timely updates and pics, and I know she's in good hands the entire time. It's great to know that your dog gets a vacation at the same time you're taking your own vacation.”
“I highly recommend Brian! Not only is he kind but extremely knowledgeable about dogs. He sent videos and photos of the walks with our dog. He responds quickly to any questions. A true professional and lover of dogs. We are so glad we found him. Thanks Brian!”
“Faith treated my dog as if he were her own. She sent me tons of photos and that made me feel at ease while being away from him. We look forward to staying with her again!”
About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.
“We recently got our puppy, so we were very nervous about dropping him off with someone new. He can be quite a handful! But Lucy was great with him and sent us updates throughout his visit to ease our anxiety. We will definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of my boy Nomad since I adopted him from a co worker. Seeing him grow into an amazing and lovable cat has made me grow into a real animal lover.

I can drop in sit every week day starting at 5 pm and all day on weekends I have a very friendly cat named Nomad at my home and I also do not have anything harmful in my apartment.

Cat caregivers near you - Springfield
About: I grew up with in a two cat household. I have experience with medication with cats in pill forms. Am able to clean up after messes cats make. I have even bottle fed raised multiple kittens after they were rejected by the mom cat. Love cats of all sizes.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and currently have cats of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, body language, and daily care needs. From playful and social to shy and independent, I’m comfortable adapting to each cat’s individual temperament. In addition to personal experience, I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I cared for animals in a professional setting. This role taught me how to monitor behavior, recognize signs of stress or illness, safely handle animals, and maintain clean, sanitary environments. I’ve also volunteered with rescue cats, which gave me experience working with timid, fearful, and newly transitioned cats. I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and creating a calm environment so they feel safe and secure. Your cat’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats from my time working in an animal shelter — handling everything from shy, hide-under-the-bed types to social butterflies who want all the attention. I know how to read a cat’s comfort level and give them exactly what they need, whether that’s space or company. Your cat is in good hands while you’re away.
“Shayna was amazing! She had to deal with some difficult and unexpected problems with one of our cats and a break in our sewage system! She handled things very adeptly and kept us constantly informed. She is a very caring and conscientious sitter. We will definitely use her again!!!”
“VIctoria was amazing! Our dogs are rescues and came from abusive situations, so they dont normally take well to strangers and they warmed up to her, which is huge in our book! She is so patient and has a great love for animals. Communicates well and goes above and beyond! I will gladly use her services again and highly recommend!”
About: I have raised and cared for many cats with a range of ages, behaviors, and disabilities. Each cat is different! I enjoy meeting each cat (if they are ok with it) and going at their pace for care and friendship.
About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!
“Stephanie is a wonderful pet sitter as well as a delightful person. After our “meet and greet” and felt completely comfortable with her as a pet and house sitter. She took perfect care of our cat and our home! We highly recommend her and plan to use her (if she’s available) every time we go away! A perfect experience!! Bob and Susan B.”
“Pam was wonderful with our three cats. She went above and beyond caring for them. Pam even brushed and groomed the cats. Pam always showed up on time, played with the cats and kept us well informed with pictures and texts. She was very respectful of our home, we would Highly recommend Pam for any sitting job.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have a degree in psychology with a focus in animal behavior, which helps me to understand and be patient with all types of animals I'm currently working part time, which gives me plenty of time to play with and take care of your animals. I'm available for sitting and boarding throughout the week and will be available on weekends if need be. I'm willing to travel to your home and care for your animals and I'm willing to bring your animals to my home if you prefer. I have a big yard for them to play in. Pricing is subject to change depending on additional care instructions and situations. Message for more details.

“As always, another great visit to see Beth, Ruby, and Bud...and also Casey this time! Molly loves going to see them, she gets excited when she realizes where we are, and she comes home and zonks right out, from that happy dog exhaustion!

“I highly recommend Brian for dog sitting my pet, Chase. It was last minute because the hotel that we stayed don’t allow pet to be left alone and I left a message to Brian that night if he’s available in the morning. He’s very accomodating and professional. He has also a very good place for dogs to play. This is my first time to use Rover app and gladly, we are really satisfied.”

About: I have a female Siberian Husky named Onyx who I raised and trained from a puppy. I grew up and had been around dogs small to very large. My family had a German Shepherd/Malmute mix and a Pomeranian that I would watch during their vacation trips. I can take your dog on walks with mine to the park, stop in to feed and let your dog out, or watch your dog for the day. My dog is very friendly and has grown up around other dogs of all energy levels. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is more flexible to align to you and your pets needs. I’m new to this service so it will be a learning experience at first, but I want to provide a safe and fun experience for your pet! I have a small apartment that your dog is more than welcome to spend the day in with me and my dog. I can also drop by at multiple times during the day, depending on the location. If you prefer to have your dog stay at your house, I won’t be able to spend the entire day there, but will gladly take them on a short/long walk (depending on preference), feed them and refill water.
“Jessica and her husband were amazing with Lavender and were very responsive! The doggy daycare request was very short notice, but she worked with me and Lavender got to have a great time with other puppies! I will be using their services again!”

About: I recently moved to the area from Colorado, where my career has been working in wildlife conservation managment.

I'm passionate about animal care and have worked as a dog daycare supervisor, kennel manager, vet technician, and surgical assistant. I'm very knowledgeable and comfortable with pets with behavior or health issues. In college I was pet care tech certified and learned about ABC training methods. I have worked with and raised young, senior, rescue pets, and pets with behavior and/or health issues. I am training for running races, so feel free to request a run with your dog (weather and health permitting). Please feel free to message me about boarding and please note I do not have any children (even though my profile refuses to let me change that) As an online student, I can fit most pet care into my schedule and do my schoolwork around. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I can do visits throughout the day. In my home I have a senior dog, she is getting arthritis in her hips and back legs so we keep her moving to help her from getting too stiff - which means lots of walks and rest. And we have a young pyr mix puppy - he helps keep her young. I do not being them with me when I visit clients homes. When I visit your dog it is just me so your dog will get 100% of my attention

About: I’ve raised all my animals from babies. I’m a very caring animal lover and would do anything for them. I’m punctual and very honest. I will make sure I’m giving any and all pets the caring and love they need. I always make sure the animals are fed. Giving them all the love and attention they could ever want. And going that extra mile to make sure they’re happy. In clients homes I always make sure to keep the place clean. Clean up after the animals, take them out if they need to go. Feed them. Etc. I always try to make sure that everything is in the proper place.
About: I have worked with non profit/service animals For around 5 years I make sure adapt best to the fur babies care and understanding them. I’m currently working part time on weekdays the best times I am available is after 4 pm and on weekends I can walk/sit the pets after8 am I care for my cat/ other animals with the tools I am provided if I’m asked to bring something else I have no issue with that but I would much rather discuss the pets specific needs with the owner.
About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all times at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I have easy access to neighborhood parks.
About: Hello! I’m passionate about exploring the outdoors and have spent years training on a horse farm, where I’ve loved being around animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m thrilled to be here and excited to meet new friends! I provide both ground and air pet transportation, offering 24/7 availability (with booking days closed off in advance). Just tell me when and where, and I’m ready to travel, even for overnight stays. Building a strong connection with your pet is my top priority. I am reliable, trustworthy, and committed to ensuring your furry family member gets the best care possible!
About: I have two shih tzu puppies, fifteen chickens and one rabbit. I love all of my animals and care for them like they are my children. I'm looking to start caring for other people's pets as a part time job. I'm available to care for your pets while caring for mine. I have a fenced in yard with doggie doors. I have all of my pets within view at all times (cameras). I care about the health and safety of all my pets.
