“Katie has been a volunteer for our cat rescue organization since childhood. She’s cared for sick and injured animals, animals requiring socialization, she is adept at giving medications and managing complicated care, and she’s quite excellent at gaining trust and handling cats and dogs safely and with care and affection. She’s a wealth of knowledge in terms of nutrition, as well as behavior/training. She has great communication and is reliable.”

“Morgan was great with Nikita and respectfully settled him in my home after their walk.”

“If you are considering a pet sitter, I would give Amy the highest recommendation. Her amazing work ethic and reliability combined with her love for animals is unmatched. I know of her history with pets including dogs, cats, rabbits; even Guinea pigs and chickens. She understands that these are not just pets, however, but members of the family. Our babies. our fur babies. And she treats them as such. I would recommend her services to everyone who is in need of a responsible, professional and competent person to take the highest care of their animals while away.”

“Gwen is an amazing pet sitter! She has taken care of my pets multiple times and never disappoints no matter the task. Her communication, transparency, and responsibility really put her above all other pet sitters in my eyes. She will always be my number one choice when it comes to taking care of my animals.”

About: I grew up on a farm and so naturally, I took a liking to animals of all types. I've always had multiple dogs, cats, and other critters around to hang out with. Since I have a cat and dog of my own, I do continuous research on ways to better understand and train all types of animals. Because of this, I'm an expert at reading body language, vocalizations, understanding breed specific traits, and using positive reinforcement techniques in order to build a beautiful bond between the animal and I. My first job when I was 13 was pet sitting my elderly neighbors' animals, since they traveled for work constantly. Since then, I've fallen in love with the idea of getting paid to play with animals all day! I'm new to Rover, but I'm still experienced and passionate about the field. I'm so excited to meet your fur baby and treat them like they're my own! I'm an online college student with completely open availability all days of the week any time past 10 am. Because my schedule is so flexible, i'm open to last minute bookings as well. Dogs and cats are my two favorite animals. I've grown up training and bonding with pets of all personalities! My parents have always called me the animal whisperer of the family. I know a lot about vocalizations, body cues, and breed specific traits from both cats and dogs. This means I'm able to understand their wants and needs while respecting their boundaries and quirks, which is why I think pets are so drawn to me!

“Great people! Very reliable😁”

About: I have had pets of my own almost my entire life, and have been entrusted to care for pets of family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers since I was 14 years old. I have raised my own pets since they were kittens/puppies, and have experience caring for animals of all ages. I love animals and know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your pets when needed. I am currently making my own schedule working part time and have open availability to care for your pets when needed. I can work mornings, afternoons, and evenings, on all weekdays and weekends! I am comfortable with taking your pets outside on a leash to go to the bathroom if needed, and am familiar with crate training if required. I do have two friends midsized (55-60lbs) dogs of my own if your pups ever want a buddy to play with or go on a walk!

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. After morning and before evening chores, I can walk, play with or let out your beloved pet. I can come to you and help care for your pet in the environment with which they're comfortable. No need to change their daily routine.

About: I’ve been around dogs mostly ever since I was little! I wanna help people out and care and walk them! I love connecting with dogs and will always give them the love they deserve! I’m currently working part time at a daycare and preschool, so I have some half days! Always free and available for a walk or pop in on the weekends! I am very respectful of other peoples space and homes! I leave it how it is or nicer! Same with my own home, always clean and tidy, even with pets.

“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!”

“Fantastic with my Doberman/Rottweiler mix puppy. Even takes him to a dog park close to the residency for off the leash play time and training.”

“I can't say enough great things about Beckie and the care she provides for my two dogs. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Beckie cares for my dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. Her scheduling system is very easy to use and she provides very personalized care. I highly recommend sunbeam country kennels to anyone looking for a dog sitting service.”

About: I've been caring for dogs my whole life. I've grown up around them and have loved them for as long as I can remember. I worked at a doggie daycare/boarding/training facility before I moved to the Springfield area. I would love and care for your dog as if he/she were my own. I enjoy going on walks and love making trips to the dog park. I'm reliable and respond in a timely manner, however I do have a full time job (m-f, in office) so I would only be able to help around that schedule. I look forward to working with you and your fur baby. I work full time, Monday through Friday during the day but usually am traveling Monday through Wednesday. I also have my own pup that requires my attention but I’m more than happy to drop in and check on yours around those times. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in whatever way is needed by them and the owner. Happy to work with dogs that need a little extra attention during their walks or feeding time.

“Ashley did absolutely amazing with my puppy on every walk,she handled everything well even when,he didn't behave the best,it was lovely having her as a walker.”

“Sarah is one of the most caring and responsible people I’ve ever met. It takes a certain selflessness to meet animal’s needs. And no one better exemplifies this selflessness than Sarah!”

“Juliet has cared for my pets in the past. She is attentive and responsible. I have also witnessed her go above and beyond to care for her own pets. I trust her completely.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs of all breeds and sizes for as long as I can remember.

I am currently enrolled in college and working a part time job. I am available on weekdays during late mornings and can do early mornings if needed, mid-afternoons, and late nights. I am also available on weekends! I will provide a playful and fun time leaving a happy pup, while ensuring that they are safe. I am knowledgeable about a dogs communication.

About: Hi there! My name is Savannah & I have been housesitting & petsitting for nearly 10 years now! I have several long term clients that use me for any housesitting & pet care as needed. I’m also very familiar with the caretaking business as I was a nanny for 7 years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom so while I’m unable to commit to overnight stays at this time, I am able to be very flexible to your schedule during the day & most evenings. My family has a six year old Golden Retriever named Leo & he is just as much apart of the family! I do have experience with administering medication for both dogs & cats so that shouldn’t be a problem. I’m very clean & tidy so your house may look better than you left it :) Please reach out for any questions or more information. I look forward to meeting you! My schedule is very flexible during the day and most evenings. I’m unable to commit to overnight stays at this time but can stop by at bed time and first thing in the morning if needed! I am comfortable watching your pet at my house if they get along with other dogs & are good in new environments but I usually come to you :)

“Ashley is phenomenal with pets. She cares for all animals from the moment she meets them and is patient in working with them. She is great with everyone’s pets and would be a fantastic person to watch after anyone’s pets.”

About: I have had pets since I was a child and they have always been part of the family. I love interacting and caring for pets. They will feel loved and cared for at my home. Walks are an all time favorite! I work from home and stay home with my little ones so I am always available and on-site. We have a doggie path where we can go on daily walks. We have friendly outdoor cats in our property. We have 5 acres and no close neighbors so we have space to go on long walks and have fun activities outside if the pets would like that :)
