“Deserae gave Sadie and Bodie a feeling of being home. She and her family were so loving to our dogs, something that can't be faked in a photo. Sadie and Bodie also slept with the kids making our dogs feel even more at home. We would recommend Deserae to anyone who would want their pets to have that warm cuddly feeling they get at home. Sadie and Bodie will diffidently be back to visit their home away from home.”


“Sami and Charles took amazing care of Dakota! I loved all the pictures and videos they shared of her while we were gone. Walks, playing with dogs and running around in their yard! I could tell she was having a wonderful time! Sami and Charles were so accommodating and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a sitter 10/10 recommend! Thank you both!”


“Nella was great with my dogs, my oldest dog doesn't typically eat when I'm gone and she let me know he was eating this past week,. Both my dogs are on meds and I try to keep them easily administered as possible.”


“This is the 2nd time we’ve trusted Heather with our 2 wild humongous puppies who are a handful each and always sent us pictures and updates and definitely will be using again in the future!”


“Jennifer provided excellent service. Our dog was loved and cared for as part of their family. We will be using her again - we have already reserved another time. She also provides excellent communication and updates.”


“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.”


“We just picked our dogs up this morning from a 3 night stay with Austin. He sent updates and pictures daily, was quick to respond and the dogs both looked relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We are very happy with the service and feel comfortable with our 10 day booking coming up with him while we go on vacation later this summer. 10/10. Excellent first experience with using a Rover sitter.”


“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: I have had the privilege of growing up with dogs throughout my life, sharing my childhood with seven beloved furry companions. Currently, my husband and I are the proud parents to a two-year-old Rottweiler named Clover and a six-year-old Rottweiler Elza, who are loving, energetic, and intelligent dogs. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs, not only as a pet owner but also by looking after the dogs of our extended families and friends, including watching, house-sitting, and taking dogs on walks when needed. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and a genuine passion for their well-being, I am excited to offer my services to care for your fur babies. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine. I work from home and manage a few side projects and hobbies, which allows me the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood, or just keeping them company while I work, I’m able to stay present and responsive to their needs. I’m also flexible during the day for drop-in visits, making it easy to provide care on a schedule that works best for you and your pet. In our home, we offer both crates and a fenced-in backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet—whether they prefer being indoors or outside. We have two friendly dogs of our own: Clover, a playful two-year-old, and Elza, a gentle six-year-old. They both love the company of other dogs and are always excited to meet new friends. At night, Clover and Elza like to stay out and cuddle, so if your dog enjoys cozy companionship, they’ll feel right at home. That said, if your pup prefers the comfort of a crate, we’re more than happy to make sure they’re settled in and sleeping peacefully.

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.

“Great home away from home to leave your dog. The host were like family to my dog immediately. This is the first time I have left my golden retriever with anyone other than family or friends. They sent pictures and Lily absolutely loved staying there. Highly recommend and I will use tjem again if I am in need in the area.”


“Selena is an amazing sitter. She loved our dogs like they were her own. I was impressed with how she handled the tough stuff: the accidents, separation anxiety, hesitancy of the dogs. We got numerous updates - it felt like we never left them. We will use her services in the future!”



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.

“Roddy was great with our dog. She’s a recent rescue and has some separation anxiety. She seemed to feel right at home with him. He has a nice set up in his home to care for animals, is very friendly, communicates well, and sent pictures of our pup having fun throughout the weekend. We’d definitely hire him again and would recommend him.”


“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.”
