“Alison was wonderful with our guy. I had a readjusted schedule, but she was very gracious in finding a way to make things work!! I'd recommend Alison to anyone needing a gentle caring hand. Thank you Alison!!”
2. Anne C.
“We highly recommend Anne!! She really went the extra mile taking care of our sweet but slightly shy kitty Jelly. We got lots of updates and photos from their visits, and Anne spent some extra time with Jelly to give her the chance to warm up. By the end of their time together Jelly was really comfortable with Anne. You can tell she really cares about animals and did a great job for us! We look forward to having you take care of Jelly again in the future, Anne! Thank you for everything!”

“This is the very first time I've used this service and had a really positive experience with the service Jessica provided. She took such nice care of my two cats for the 5 days. Will be traveling again so now I have a trusted resource for my two furry kids. Thanks Jessica! Charlie and Dash thank you too!”
4. Christina M.
About: I have feeding, walking, playing and poop cleaning experience. I have been around small and large, young and old dogs most of my life. I know all are different in their needs but they all need love and I can provide that. I have no other job so I have all the time needed for your pet. I'm available days, nights, weekends and emergency care available. I haven't had a pet not like me yet. I can follow any routine already set in place. I can give extra time and love to any animal. I will not take the care of your member of the family lightly.

“Jordin did a great job with my cat! I love that she sent me photos each time she visited my house so I knew that my cat was being well taken care of.”
6. Kristina C.
“Katt watched my two dogs and one ferret. She was wonderful. It was great to have a farent (farent parent) watch my little guy. Most people don't really know what they are doing with exotics. It was cool to hear she has experience with snakes too. I didn't need her for that, but my neighbor did so it was super handy. Very sweet girl.”
7. Julia P.
“Julia was everything we could wish for in a cat sitter and more! She communicated well from the initial inquiry throughout the entire visit, including sending us pictures of our cat and letting us know how she was doing. Julia has a ton of experience caring for animals and cats especially, and didn't bat an eye when I explained the unusual feeding routine or medicine needs of our cat. I highly recommend Julia for anyone in the Springfield area. You are in safe hands!”
8. Faye & Guy R.

10. Haley Z.
“Hayley was absolutely wonderful with our cats and even got the shy one to come out and say hi by the end of the week! I was always so happy to get updates and appreciated the detail included in each one.”
11. Ariel W.
“I was really nervous about leaving my 18 year old cat with someone else but Ariel put me completely at ease. She was so kind and caring with my cat and completely comfortable administering medication and following special feeding instructions. She also sent me great pictures of my pet each day and was very communicative about how things were going. When I arrived home my cat was content and well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet care situation. Thank you Ariel”
12. Maria C.
“Maria was great dog sitting our new puppy! She was flexible and on time, and provided updates throughout. She clearly loves dogs and our puppy clearly had fun!”
13. Giuliana C.
“I had friends over for President’s day weekend who brought their puppy (Archie) to play with my puppy (Gerard). We had made plans to ski the whole weekend but didn’t plan well enough on who will take care of our babies. So we signed into Rover and checked our options. After reading Giuliana’s profile we decided that she was the best choice for us. We messaged her a bit later at night, but she responded immediately and agreed to come very early the next day. She came a few minutes before our set time and was completely flexible when we tried to extend a bit of her stay because of traffic. We came home to two very happy puppies who had been walked a couple of times, fed and played with the whole day. I highly recommend Giuliana and will be using her again.”
14. Jessica M.
“Super helpful despite a last minute change and chaotic situation!”
15. Bella G.
“Bella and Cameron are such diligent and responsible cat sitters! They sent very cute updates and photos while we were out of town, about all the activities they were doing with our cat. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
