“Sydney took very good care of my dog while we were gone. The reports were very detailed - it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was well cared for”


“Katelyn did an amazing job! She was very kind and easy to work with. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was looking after my cat, and I felt comfortable having her in my home. I would definitely book with her again!”


About: I worked as a lead kennel attendant for nearly three years before moving to Springfield, and I can tell you there is a huge difference between boarding with a family rather than a facility. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my job taking care of other people's pets, but I always wished there was something more I could do to comfort pets who were stressed or overworked by all the commotion. The large volume of pets and and tight schedules often left minimal to no time for cuddles, and only a couple potty breaks a day. This structure often separated families, especially those with cats and dogs, as they were kept in different buildings. By boarding in my own home, I am striving to provide a calm environment where your pets can be able to relax and feel comfortable. Unlike typical boarding facilities that are only open for 12 hours, your pet will be able to have someone there with them 24/7 to comfort and monitor them. Families of pets will also be able to be kept together, and roam the house as they normally would at home. I would be more than happy to welcome your pets into my home, so you can leave them knowing they are in good hands. Photo, video, and text updates can be requested at any time during the day to keep you updated on how your pet is doing. I also offer free optional baths at the end of their stay to wash any dirt from their adventures away! I would love to be your pets home away from home and spoil them with attention, play, and cuddles while you are away. ❤️ I do pet care along side my other businesses at home. I will sometimes go out to DoorDash around lunch and dinner time for just a couple hours at a time. Otherwise I will be at the house. I try to follow the owners regular routine to the best of my ability. If you have specific feeding, walk, kennel times, or other routines you would like to keep in place please let me know! Otherwise I work with your pet, offering potty breaks whenever needed, two feedings a day, large walks 1-2 times a day, unlimited water, and bed time the same as however you would do it at home. All walks must be leashed as I do not have a fenced in yard. The neighborhood has large open streets and side walks, with a large park only a 5 minute walk away.

“Jessica is very sweet and dependable. She kept me informed and gave our senior puppy the break she needed during the day. We will definitely use her in the future!”


“We love Paige! Our dogs really enjoy their time playing with her and I love that she sends such good pictures. It’s very comforting to know that she’s going to be there in the afternoon to give them some respite from their long days alone while we work.”


“Clareese was fantastic! She was flexible and communicative and gave us peace of mind our fur babies were cared for with love! We will definitely rebook with her!!”


“Jasmine is amazing!! This is the first time we have left our dog at home when we went on vacation and Jasmine made it stress free! I can’t recommend her enough. She is a dog person and not only that she will make sure your home is locked and safe while you are away. If you are looking for your new dog sitter, look no further, she is absolutely amazing!”


“Our first experience with Rover and Lisa was excellent! We felt at ease knowing that our pups were getting good care and attention on each visit. We appreciated the photos and the “report card” as well. Highly recommend Lisa - she communicated with us and went the extra mile.”


“Syndee is very good with my boys. They Love her and I appreciate that she helped clean Speckles accident so he didn't have to stay in it. I will definitely use her again.”


“Maria was SO amazing. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond. She took plenty of pictures and was very communicative ! I will now only book with her.”


About: I grew up in a dog-loving home and I started caring for my own dog at just 10 years old.

I’m working weekdays full-time on Rover and ready to help with drop-ins and walks whenever your pup needs a break. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a fun, energy-burning walk, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for and loved! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! You can trust me to provide loving care every visit while respecting your home and routine.

“Mickayla regularly watches my high-energy corgi while I’m out of town. She is flexible, a great communicator, and so kind. She sends plenty of photos and updates to keep me in the loop. I always feel comfortable leaving because I know my pup will be well taken care of. Mickayla is the best!”


About: I have been pet sitting on and off for almost 9 years now! I’ve only had great positive experiences and have never had an upset client. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet is taken care of! Also they always end up becoming my bestie! This is my full time job and I love it! Animals have my heart! Give me all the dogs, cats and bunnies to love and care for! I’m super flexible with my hours and always go the extra mile for your furry friends! Located in the Springfield Missouri area! If you entrust me with your pet, I am caring for them as though they’re my own. Every pet deserves love and safety! I will give your pet the care they need and deserve!

About: I have taken care of chihuahua’s to Pitbulls and have had dogs since I was a child. I have boarded dogs and regularly do house visits to let dogs out to potty during the work week. I am experienced in understanding dog behavior and communication patterns. I work from home 5 days a week and care for my own 2 dogs that get to spend time outside in our backyard every few hours. I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will spend a majority of their time indoors, but frequently have supervised outside play time in the backyard (weather permitting). Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. At night, I have a large kennel inside they can sleep in with blankets. Daily pictures and status updates can be sent as well if desired. Pets toys are welcome if you would like to bring your own. To ensure a low stress transition owners are welcome to set up a meet and greet prior to booking. All dogs will be introduced one at a time with any other animals and be able to take a private house tour.

About: I have grown up being my families pet care provider! I am punctual, reliable, and most importantly, a pet lover of all, no matter how big or small. I treat everyone else’s pets as I would my own. I provide plenty of love, snuggles, compassion, and treats for your fur babies! I currently have a 5 month old GSD puppy and a 2 year old boston terrier, and they have helped gain a ton of knowledge that I believe will help greatly toward the care of your pets! I also have past work experience at a pet motel. I worked there for about 6 months while I was in school to complete my animal science degree, and I really enjoyed it. My tasks included feeding, administering medication, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and playing with them. This experience helped me tremendously. By bonding with several different dog breeds I have never been able to experience with, it showed me every single breed is special in their own way! I am currently working a part-time job as a residential and commercial cleaner. I am still trying to fill my schedule, so I will have a lot of days I don’t clean and will be able to come and take care of your pets when you need it! I care for pets in your own home because I feel it is more beneficial for your pet to not have to travel and be in a new environment they are not used to. That can cause a lot of stress and would not make a great experience for them. I want your pet to be comfortable and happy in their own home! In your home, I will take them for walks, clean up any messes made, give plenty of love and cuddles, and leave assuring your pets are happy and healthy!

“Amber was amazing with my dogs and did an especially great job handling my rambunctious 180lb mastiff! I will definitely reach out to her again next time I need pet sitting services!”


“Kim did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog in our home by checking in 3x/day. She was always on time for her visits and our dog seemed happy when we returned. Will definitely consider booking again if needing pet care in the future.”


About: Hello! My name is Victoria, but you can call me Tori! I grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes. Currently, my family has 6 dogs (including 4 pugs!) amongst a variety of other animals such as parrots, a cat, a turtle, and a rabbit. Sometimes the dogs will stop by and visit, but all of these pets live with my parents. We love our furry (and non-furry) friends over here! In addition, I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years as a kennel technician. In my position, I was responsible for caring for pets being boarded as well as hospitalized pets. I have the experience and passion for your furry friend(s)! Currently, I’m available Monday-Friday at any time for any walk schedule! I work part-time and will be attending school in the fall so my schedule will be completely open for a few more weeks! Please message me with any scheduling requests and/or questions, I’d be happy to work with you! I provide upmost care to take your furry friends on walks around the neighborhood to get some much needed engagement and stimulation! As a Drury college student, I’m happy to use this service opportunity to incorporate exercise and pups into my schedule!

About: I have tons of experience staying overnight watching animals from puppies to older dogs with several different breeds, I always had an animal at home growing up, and I think that is where my love for animals came from! I am currently working full time from 7:30-4:30 Tuesday through Friday. I do have availability from time to time when the Doctor I work for goes out of town. I am currently unavailable to board animals where I am staying however in the future I would be interested in boarding your fur baby where I reside!

“Haley was so great with my girl! Finley was really scared at the beginning of the week, but Haley slowly earned her trust and by the end of the week they were best friends! Haley made leaving on vacation a lot more relaxing knowing my girl was taken care of!”
