“Charles & Sami were great taking of Bison last minute when another sitter fell through. He was well taken care of and they were even able to pick him up and drop him off. Will definitely choose them again!”


“This is the second time we have used Emily for our little one. She did a great job. Molly comes home like nothing has happened. That is a good thing. She usually gets back and is sick or sore after being boarded with our local boarder-I think they leave her in a cage most of the time. We will only use Rover and their caregivers from now on. Emily has been great for Molly!”


“Kaitlin was amazing with my sweet Ruby! I left my fur baby for the first time in 2 years and didn’t have to worry one bit while away, she took amazing care of my girl.”


“I was really nervous about leaving my boy overnight with anybody. Heather set up a meet and greet and Shadow and I could meet her and her dog which really helped my nerves. My dog had an amazing time and was very well cared for. Highly recommend!”


“Molly provided excellent care for our Corgi. I received pictures and notes keeping me updated. I was concerned that our pickup time might change due to airline changes and she was flexible to work with me. I very much appreciated the love she provided.”


“Austin was amazing with our Flores! This was our first time doing a drop off and we were a little worried since Flores can be a little bossy. There was no need to worry at all she was in good hands with Austin. We will definitely be using him again and would recommend him to anyone on this app and even off!”


“Laura took great care of Henry. She sent several photos and videos giving us reassurance that he was happy and content. She groomed him as a bonus! We appreciate care Laura gave Henry!”


“Cortney and her family are amazing and took wonderful care of Ri! There was great communication including messages, photos and videos. Ri was happy with his stay and to meet his new friends!”


About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have some grooming experience, though completely self taught. I used to take care of my puppers hair from baths to hair cuts. I am not a professional groomer, but when it comes to baths I am not at worried about getting a little wet and soapy! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.

“Our dog had a return visit with Kim and he had a great time! He’s made friends with her dog Benny and they loved playing and wearing each other out. I really appreciate that she sends updates and pictures throughout the stay and has been flexible and easy to work with. We are so thankful to have found her since we don’t have any family in town to watch our dog when we need to travel. Thanks Kim!!”


“Michael and Jackie are amazing! They truly have a deep love and appreciation for animals and Jackie is a dog whisperer. I always have peace of mind when traveling because I know Millie is in the best of hands. When she comes home I know she misses being there. Would 💯 recommend Michael and Jackie! They are truly the best.”


“Shelby took incredible care of Penelope. This is her 3rd visit and she always comes home happy (and pretty much unbothered LOL, she stays right on schedule). Shelby sends cute picture updates and made a last minute accommodation for us when our flight was cancelled into Springfield. Highly recommend!!!”


“Janaye and her great family took awesome care of our three pups while we escaped for a nice last minute trip to the sun. We received daily updates and pictures and the pups were very happy. Highly recommended!!!”


“Selena and her family welcome your pet like their own. This was my first experience with Rover and my dog stayed 10 days with her. She was very kind and loves animals. Very grateful that I got to meet her and let my dog stay with her. Appreciate all the updates and pictures daily. Would use Selena again and again. Hands down the best experience ever! Thank you, Selena for keeping Christopher and letting me enjoy my vacation.”

“First time leaving Muffin and we were a little worried. Cynthia did a great job keeping us updated on our trip with messages and pictures. Made our vacation even better not having to stress. Will use Cynthia again!”



About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.

“Wow! We have never left our dog and it was hard. Kris made us feel good the minute she became friends with our dog. She is the best ever. She sent pictures all of the time which made us feel closer to our dog. If you have a dog that need a great place to stay and play then Kris is it. 20 out of 10 stars and I’m a grumpy guy lol.”

Meredith C.
“Meredith has been our pet sitter for a couple of years. We moved to Springfield In 2018. We do not have any family here, but was lucky to be introduced to Meredith and her family. Meredith is so sweet, kind, trusting and very importantly loves all animals. She has watched our pets many times over the years. I tell her, I believe the pets like when we go out of town because Meredith comes overs and spoils them. I highly recommend Meredith to my friends when they need a pet sitter. She’s so responsible and trusting. When she takes care of our pets while we are out of town, we don’t have to worry about them, we know they are in wonderful, loving and caring hands.”
