“The second I met Laura I knew I found the right person. Not only is she a great lady, but she genuinely loves animals and my cats were comfortable around her. She was very communicative and kept me in the loop. I will use her for future needs.”
“Morgan was awesome with taking care of our four cats. I could not have asked for a better experience. I looked forward to getting the report and pictures of them each day. You can tell she is an animal person and my cats too right up with her, even our shy one. I would highly recommended using her to anyone and plan on booking again in the future!!”
About: Hi, I’m Aubri! I’m a college student here in Springfield. I am actually studying to become a veterinarian. However if you know anything about vet school you know if can be pricey! That’s why I am looking to make some extra money on Rover! I have been around all types of animals all my life and would love the chance to come help you with yours! My grandparents own a farm so I have grown up watching animals of all sizes. I also have 3 cats and a boxer around me constantly! I am currently a student so I have plenty of time to play with and watch all of your animals! I am available all morning and most of the afternoon as I take night classes so I’ll be able to watch your pups or take them out to walk while you are at work! I will take care of your baby like he/she is my own. All animals have my heart so I take being in charge of them very seriously. Pleas know that your animal(s) will be cared for when i’m around!
About: I’ve worked in vet clinics and for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, giving me hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and emergencies. As a former vet assistant, I helped with surgeries, medications, and cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and post-op patients. At poison control, I worked directly with vets and pet owners to assess toxic exposures and guide treatment. Outside of work, I’m a high-energy, animal-loving farm girl with a big heart and a great sense of humor. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away. I work full-time as a Crop Consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I treat every animal like my own, with safety, love, and attention to detail always top of mind. Safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved, whether in your home or mine. With my vet clinic and poison control experience, I’m confident handling meds, emergencies and all personalities. You’ll get regular photo updates and peace of mind every step of the way.
“Taylor is an excellent furbaby caretaker! We're so lucky to have had the opportunity to book with her on a number of occasions. Her notes are thorough and photos show how much care and attention she puts into her visits. Thanks, Taylor! I look forward to booking with you in the future!”
About: When I was 12 I started walking dogs for my neighbors and the elderly people around my neighborhood, I absolutely love dogs especially big ones! My family always had so many dogs growing up, so I feel very comfortable around pretty much any dog, I feel comfortable bathing and walking and playing any size or type of dog! I currently work in the morning during the week, I usually get off at 2:00pm or earlier. I am free almost every weekend, and any weekday after 2:00pm at the latest I currently do not have any dogs, but I do have three cats and other types of small pets and lizards. When I am watching over your fur baby I will treat them as my own, and give them a fun time with lots of play and attention, while still following the parents requests. This is the first time I’ve lived in a home without a dog so I would love to be able to spend some time with your fur baby!
“Kosandra was fantastic with our 2 kitties. She was on time for both feedings. The photos she took of them reassured me that they were in good hands. They were playing and allowing her to rub their bellies...a really good sign. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Laura took such good care of our 3 kitties while we were gone on vacation and sent us pictures of them every time she visited them. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I would trust her to watch our kitties again any time. :D”
“I was absolutely adored the brief yet thorough notes Anthony would post on the Rover cards for my two fur babies after each drop-in; as an anxious pet-owner it really kept me at ease and it was nice reading the little adventures they would get up to. I was quite pleasantly shocked as no one had done this before. He even kept the house tidy if there were any accidents or naughty chewed areas. As well as took the initiative to put on some doggie music so they didn’t feel so alone. He was pleasant and professional, yet empathetic and personal all at the same time which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be using Anthony again in the future and I recommend you do, too!”
About: Ever since I was 9 years old my family and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their pets. These pets included dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. Because I work from home I have a super flexible schedule. In light of this, I am able to ensure your pet receives everything they need and more to thrive while staying in my home! I always make sure to feed them their appropriate food, always keeping the pets best health in mind and the owners request! I will always communicate to my best ability and make sure you know your pet is in good hands!
“This is the 2nd time I have used Chloe as my sitter for Harrison. I was gone over a week and she checked on him twice a day. Every time she updated me on him and reassured me that everything was fine. She even took care of a couple things that popped up at my apartment. I highly recommend Chloe and will use her again.”
“Courtney takes great care of our cats when we’re out of town! She sends thoughtful and thorough updates on how they’re doing and even braved the blizzard to take care of our girls.”
