About: Combining my upbringing on a farm with my past work at a doggy daycare and boarding center, I provide comprehensive pet care. I’ve had experience with high-energy breeds like Huskies and German Shepherds, as well as large dogs such as English Mastiffs, St. Bernards, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Your furry friends will enjoy a nurturing environment filled with love, companionship, and plenty of tail-wagging adventures. Leave them in capable hands for a worry-free experience! I have plenty of time during the week and weekend evenings to spend with your pets! I’m currently working part time mornings Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. To ensure your pets receive exceptional care I'll provide: Customized Care: Tailoring my approach to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. Regular Exercise: Engaging them in stimulating activities and regular exercise routines to keep them happy and healthy. Feeding and Hygiene: Following specific feeding schedules and maintaining proper hygiene practices to keep them clean and comfortable. Medication Administration: If needed, administering any medications according to the provided instructions. Companionship: Offering plenty of companionship and affection to alleviate any stress or anxiety they may feel while their owners are away. With a deep understanding of animal behavior and a genuine love for pets, I'll provide attentive and reliable care, giving peace of mind knowing your furry companions are in good hands.

About: Loving in-home dog care by a massage therapist. Personalized attention, free outdoor access, and a calm, kennel-free environment. Your dog will feel safe and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine—I live 5 minutes away, make my own schedule, and come home throughout the day to give attentive care. In my home, dogs enjoy free range indoors and out, regular supervision, personalized attention, and a calm, crate-free space where they feel safe, loved, and relaxed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was little, and it’s been a passion of mine for many years. From my own family pets to friends’, clients’, and now as a professional dog groomer, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Being a dog groomer has given me an even deeper understanding of animal behavior and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I know how to handle high-energy pups, senior dogs, and even those with a little extra sass or shyness. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping up with routines, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for like they’re my own. Your pets will be in great hands with me—I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. Pet care has always been a natural part of my everyday life. Since I’ve been around animals from a young age, I’m used to building my days around their needs—feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. As a dog groomer, caring for pets is already a big part of my weekly routine, so it easily flows into my personal life as well. I make time every day to be with animals, whether that’s going on walks, giving extra cuddle time, or keeping up with their routines. Because pet care is something I truly enjoy, it never feels like an “extra task”—it’s just part of my lifestyle. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime so things stay familiar. I also pay close attention to any special instructions—like medications, grooming needs, or behavior quirks—because every pet is unique. I always give pets plenty of love and attention, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company if they prefer a quieter presence. I keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, and check that everything in the home is safe for them. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—keeping them happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have helped my dad care for different dogs most of my life and I fostered a couple every couple months for awhile, so I have experience taking care of dogs. I also used to own 4 cats so I know their needs as well. I’m currently working at a restaurant every day but I typically have off Mondays and Tuesdays/and or Thursday’s most weeks. Cannot be available Wednesdays and Sundays but I can help out in the mornings on Saturdays and any other day that week that i start work in the afternoon. I’m available to help out overnight from 10-morning time also. I can care for pets in a clients home, and take care of them with whatever supplies you have necessary. I cannot take care of them in my home so I will not be available for that service.

About: I have actively cared for pets my whole life, and have experience caring for others pets for around 10 years. I am an experienced dog walker who regularly walks between 1 and 4 dogs at once. I have experience crate training dogs and administering oral medication. I am currently a full time student with a very open and predicable schedule. I have of time and energy to care for your pet. I have the experience and ability to safely walk between 1 and four dogs at once. I am very engaged with the dog I am caring for, their body language will not be missed or ignored.

About: I'll treat your pups as well as I treat my own pups! I have grown up with animals all my life, and in my experience find their company more enjoyable than people. That being said, I have been dog-sitting, walking and caring for dogs the last two years since I moved up to Springfield. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as it gives me time to chill and exercise, as well as just cuddling them on the couch if necessary. I am pretty punctual and follow whatever guidelines you set for the pups. As I would like to grow into a business in the future I will do my best to give your dog the best dog-sitting experience ever. Your dog will be in the best of hands when left with me. I'll love them like they're my own.

My girlfriend is a traveling ot, so I have a free schedule while we are here in mountain home, besides taking care of our animals my schedule is mostly free with open availability and can do multiple visits in a day Because of us renting we can not house animals in our home, I can house/ pet sit or do multiple visits in a day anytime.

I will shower your pets with love and make sure they receive only the best care.

“My dogs were relaxed and happy when we came home after they spent 7 hours with Matthew—they even sat near him and interacted with him after we returned instead of clinging to us because we were gone for the day. He sent us a picture of a fetch game with my dogs. My cat liked him too. We have already booked Matthew for additional petsitting dates—win!”
