“Samantha is so friendly and kind, and was great with my kitty! Very communicative and understanding, and I loved working with her.”
“Laura was fantastic as usual with our cat Axel. It was the holidays so it was a bit frenetic as I traveled abroad, but the videos and check ins for my elder cat aided my anxiety. For an overnight sitter, Laura is the best :)”
“Nakee is wonderful with my cat and always so flexible and helpful!”
“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: No dog too big or small to handle. Being around animals for me is therapeutic so I am getting more in return! Skilled with cats and dogs since a young age and hope to meet your bundle of joy soon! Very flexible as I work from home and currently pet sitting for a few friends full-time. Available most all days of the week and holidays. I ensure the well-being of pets by following established routines for feeding, exercise, and play. I maintain a clean and safe environment, administer medications as needed, and provide ample affection. Communication with pet owners is key to understanding specific needs and addressing any concerns promptly.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll stick to your pet’s schedule, keep things neat, send plenty of updates, and make sure your furry friend gets all the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone.

Aubriana H.Star Sitter
“Aubriana is an amazing pet caregiver! She has taken care of my two large dogs for over a year now, and I can't say enough good things about her. She clearly loves animals and is very in-tune with them. Aubriana follows my directions, but also sees things that I forgot to tell her about and takes care of those things too. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants a loving, caring, professional caregiver for their pets!”

“AJ is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to taking care of my dog, Hunter, and cat, Oliver. From the first time we met, I could feel their genuine love for animals, and it instantly put me at ease. AJ is not just a pet sitter, he’s become an extended part of our family. He always goes the extra mile, sending me updates and adorable photos, which always make my day. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who treats your fur babies with the same love and devotion as you do, AJ is your guy! I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional pet caregiver.”
