**Courtney - Pet Care Specialist**
Springfield

My name is Courtney! I am a wife, bookworm, coffee enthusiast, outdoors lover, and professional pet snuggler (this last one is self-titled, unfortunately. Is there a championship I can attend for this though?) I have lived in Missouri for most of my life, but I moved to Springfield when I married my husband. We have a rambunctious cat named Princess (AKA: "Ma'am" whenever she's in trouble), and I hope to convince my husband to let us get another furry friend soon. Growing up, I had two dogs, Lily and Finnegan, and I also had experience with farm animals at my cousin's farm. I couldn't be happier to join the Funky Bunch team, and I promise to treat your furry (and scaly) friends with as much love as I give my own.

**Kirstyn - Pet Care Specialist**
Springfield

Hi! My name is Kirstyn and I am actually pretty new to Springfield still, but I am loving the atmosphere, experience, and people! I have always had a love and passion for animals, in which I have always been able to find a forever friend, companion, and family member with. Being welcomed in by Funky Bunch is such a dream and honestly a blessing because I would spend every waking moment with animals if I could! Animals, no matter how big or small, are living things that have always made it easy for me to love! I love their personalities, traits, and quirks! I have 3 fur babies of my own which include Riley(10 year old Siamese Mix feline), Maci(8 year old Siberian Husky canine), and Darcie(3 year old rescue mix canine).

I also know that these wonderful fur babies and your belongings are important to you as well! I will always give you peace of mind when you are traveling, working, vacationing, or having family outings that your home, belongings, and fur babies will always be taken care of with the upmost respect, tender loving care, never afraid when you leave, and know that they will be loved and adored just as much as you love and adore them!

Kobe (2008-2024)

He was our 15 year-old dachshund we adopted from Dusty Puddles Dachshund Rescue. He is our inspiration and the reason for everything we do at Funky Bunch.

If you are looking for a pet sitter look no further. Funky Bunch is the BEST. They took the time to get to know one of our dogs who can be difficult with strangers in his home but now he is SO excited to see them. Our dogs love them and we do too. Funky Bunch provided us with peace of mind while we were on vacation by sending pictures and updates with every visit. They even took in our mail and watered the plants. What more could you ask for? We continue to use their services and would recommend them to anyone who asks! - Meagan
