“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”


About: I worked as a lead kennel attendant for nearly three years before moving to Springfield, and I can tell you there is a huge difference between boarding with a family rather than a facility. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my job taking care of other people's pets, but I always wished there was something more I could do to comfort pets who were stressed or overworked by all the commotion. The large volume of pets and and tight schedules often left minimal to no time for cuddles, and only a couple potty breaks a day. This structure often separated families, especially those with cats and dogs, as they were kept in different buildings. By boarding in my own home, I am striving to provide a calm environment where your pets can be able to relax and feel comfortable. Unlike typical boarding facilities that are only open for 12 hours, your pet will be able to have someone there with them 24/7 to comfort and monitor them. Families of pets will also be able to be kept together, and roam the house as they normally would at home. I would be more than happy to welcome your pets into my home, so you can leave them knowing they are in good hands. Photo, video, and text updates can be requested at any time during the day to keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I also offer free optional baths at the end of their stay to wash any dirt from their adventures away! I would love to be your pets home away from home and spoil them with attention, play, and cuddles while you are away. ❤️ I do pet care along side my other businesses at home. I will sometimes go out to DoorDash around lunch and dinner time for just a couple hours at a time. Otherwise I will be at the house. I try to follow the owners regular routine to the best of my ability. If you have specific feeding, walk, kennel times, or other routines you would like to keep in place please let me know! Otherwise I work with your pet, offering potty breaks whenever needed, two feedings a day, large walks 1-2 times a day, unlimited water, and bed time the same as however you would do it at home. All walks must be leashed as I do not have a fenced in yard. The neighborhood has large open streets and side walks, with a large park only a 5 minute walk away.

“Maria is great! Easy to communicate with and meets all my expectations:)”


About: I provide reliable, loving, and attentive care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and managing special diets. I treat every pet like family. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or active adventures in the park, your furry friend is in safe, capable hands. I am available for weeknight & weekend care. I have a background in Law Enforcement, and can be trusted with not only your pet, but your home too. I am currently not offering care in my own home, but am available for daily walks, feedings, or stays in your home so you don’t have to worry about your fur baby being displaced!

“Morgan has been wonderful! I was able to get her on fairly short notice and she made sure we were able to do a meet and greet first. She was very friendly and gave lots of attention to my animals. She walked different routes each time with the dogs so they could get new sights and smells! Superb effort and attitude!”



About: We are a small scale homestead and have great experience with a vast assortment of animals including farm. We have taken on Turkeys, Rabbits, Ferrets, Goats, Chickens Dogs and Cats and fish. I am a homebody and enjoy staying here on the homestead. I work every other week so I'm available 24/7 pretty much almost every week. We have a fenced in back yard half acre paddock here on the homestead. If it can keep goats in, it can keep in anything. We try to keep everything happy as possible. Like our rabbits have an exercise pen so they get fresh grass and are able to do some free exploring and play. We also have a quarantine pen we are able to keep farm animals who need their own solo care.

“Does her job extremely well. Always on-time, great with the dogs.”


“Anastasia (Kristi) was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help tire our pup out with some exercise, and did some bonus training and cuddles. Our lab mix Kadee Buggins really soaked it up and we can’t wait to book her again! Very kind. Very professional. Extremely fast response rate and excellent communication with the visit. I felt so at ease and knew my dog was in great hands with Kristi.”


About: Hey furents! I have been taking care of animals for a couple of years now. I always grew up with at least two dogs of my own, and then when I moved for school I decided to help others take care of their dogs! Just a few months ago I even got my very own pup! I would love to watch dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, anything you have! I have cared for puppies and seniors! I currently have a part time job, which leaves me with lots of extra time for walks, play time, maybe even going out for a pup cup! I love going to the park and taking walks as well! I care a lot about the safety of all animals! Anything that seems off I think needs to be informed to the owner immediately. Animals are like children and deserve special care and attention. Each animal needs specific things and I recognize that!

“She’s the best! Our meet and greet went really well yesterday and her first walk with our boy was great today. His personality made me a little anxious to meet a new sitter since we just moved to the area, but Morgan really made me feel at ease and our pup was great with her.”

I grew up around animals and it’s always a pleasure to be able to work with your fur baby. As far as special skills, I’m able to maintain control of the dog on walks as well as in home.

About: From an early age, I've cared for many different pets. From dogs, cats and birds to turtles, horses and cows, my passion is animal care. I own and operate my own hobby farm.

No need to change their daily routine.

“Finn can be difficult with strangers but with a treat, warmed right up to Mackenzie. We had a prior meet and greet which worked out well, Mac took the time to listen about Finn. Finn loved his walk and I will be booking Mac again.”


About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, and they’ve pretty easily become part of our family, as I am sure yours have to you! I don’t currently have a dog of my own (I have 2 cuddly cats) but I love to walk, play with, and take care of any that I can get my paws on!🐾 I treat all pets as they’re are my own fur babies, so you can count on me to give them all the love! I also love to send the owners photos and updates of their pets throughout the day to help ease their minds 😊 I’m currently working 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I have very open weekends to be able to spend a lot of time with your animal if needed! I always take every safety precaution necessary when taking care of animals. I treat every situation as if I am caring for my own animal, and try to keep their routine as normal to them as I can so they are comfortable!

“Tabitha is the best with my doggy’s! She walks them on a double leash and gives them lots of love !”

“Linda was very intuitive to Bear’s needs! He’s an old dog with arthritis, and she never pushed him past his limits on their walk. You could tell he was very at ease with her. I appreciate the wonderful care she’s given him!”
