Dog Sitting West Springfield

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

About: I’ve been working with animals since before I knew my times tables. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, fish, and more, and I love every minute of it. I’ve participated in training with my dog when she was a puppy, and am able to further use those skills and knowledge to help me care for other’s animals too :) I currently work full time, so morning and dinner time check-ins are easiest for me. Monday- Friday I work until 8:00AM - 5:00PM. Let me know though if you have a weird schedule, we can work something out :) I have a large back yard with plenty of safe space to run. The pups are always supervised, whether on or off leash. I always prefer to meet with a pet before the care period so I and my pets can get to know them :)

“Adam is the best! Our cats absolutely adore him and the attention he gives them with cuddles and games, and I know they will miss his visits when we return home. We couldn't ask for a better sitter.”

About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)

I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, including seniors, and I always follow each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, care, and love 🐾 Sometimes my 7-year-old daughter joins me — she is very gentle and loves animals, and always interacts with them calmly and respectfully. I’m available for late morning and midday visits (around 10 am – 1 pm) and again in the evenings. I make sure your pet gets attention, playtime, and reliable care while you’re away, always following their usual routine. Your pet will receive patient, attentive care while you’re away. I follow their usual routine and keep their environment calm and familiar so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.”

“Thanks so much to Charisma for stopping by to let Indigo out & feed him! My first time using the drop-in option on Rover. Great communication, quick replies, & she kept me updated on Indigo with pictures & followed up with me when she left! I will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊”

“Rylie has pet sat our cats and walked our dog several times and she always does an excellent job. She's responsible, responsive, and detail-oriented. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.

“Jessica was always quick to respond to messages and understanding of taking care of very shy cats.”

“Pat does an amazing job with house visits for 2 cats. She’s my “go to” person when I’m out of town. I’ve used her 5-6 times without compliant.”

About: Your pet is not a guest in our house, it’s a loved family member for life! We individually your pet’s care based on its preferences and habits. I am a pet lover working from home who loves the company and snuggles. My kids are crazy about dogs and love them dearly also. We live in a beautiful home with a big fenced in yard but do take the dog(s) out daily to explore in the woods and have fun!

“Thank you for making sure our animals were fed. For making sure all instructions were followed.”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life. My family recently got a puppy. He's added so much to our lives we couldn't be happier. Since we are already in the routine of walking him and taking him to the dog park I figured why not add some company. I have weekends off and I am usually looking for something to do outdoors. We are frequent visits to the local dog park sometimes going twice a day. I have been told I have a calming nature. I will treat your pets like my own. I love animals and I feel comfortable caring for them.

“Wendy was punctual, communicative and reliable with our last minute request on a holiday. Really grateful for her service and adorable pictures of our dog, Shadow. We will definitely use her in the near future.”

About: I have owned many many pets in my lifetime, 7 cats and 4 dogs. As well as owning my own animals I worked for the forest park zoo tending to animals and socializing with them. I am currently a dog groomer, and I am very passionate and serious about pet care, our fluffy friends deserve the best. I have plenty of experience with elderly and special needs animals :)! As someone who owns many animals of my own, a dog, a cat, a multitude of small animals and reptiles, my entire life consists of caring for animals. It’s my main passion. I am available for bookings all day Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and available for mornings every other day of the week! I am a trustworthy person able to remember the schedule of your pets and any extra care they may need. Due to working in grooming for so long, I am excellent in time management and understanding the body language of dogs. I love to take my own dogs outside and play with them with a ball or a toy to help them get enrichment. I am also incredibly interested in training and find respect and boundaries to be very important when forming a relationship with an animal.

About: I worked in a dog daycare facility and have provided many services. I have experience feeding , giving medication, bathing and trimming nails. I have loved dogs all my life but have never had the chance to own one so I do my best to provide quality care and love to any dog I see. I am going to be doing some schooling so I will balance school work with my rover work as well as I can by leaving some days closed off so I can focus on my schoolwork. To start I am only going to be doing walks and drop ins to get used to how the river life works but will probably eventually provide all services.

“Jillian took great care of our Peanut while we were away and sent lots of photo updates and check-ins. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.
