About: With over 75 dogs under my care, past and present, I bring unparalleled expertise and heartfelt dedication to every pet care assignment. My extensive experience spans all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and needs of dogs, ensuring your furry friend receives not just care, but genuine companionship and understanding. From fostering German Shepherds to volunteering at local shelters, I've honed my skills in nurturing pets through transitions. Each visit isn't just a task—it's an opportunity to forge a bond and tailor care to your pet's unique needs, leaving them wagging their tail with joy. I am a freelancer/contractor so I have plenty of time to fit time with your pups into my day. It's an excellent break for me and I look forward to every visit! As a provider of walks and check-ins I will meet with you and your dog the first time to establish a relationship and acclimate with your dog while making sure this is a relationship that works for everyone. After that we can work together to make the most of my time with your pup regardless of the service provided.
“Mary is AMAZING! She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and so sweet with Darla. We loved seeing all the pictures and she even brought in a box that was delivered. We highly recommend Mary.”
“Many thanks, Samantha! So grateful we connected here. She’s been so good to and with my dog. He’s a grumpy old guy but she’s won him over :). She’s been great at keeping us in the loop with updates and pics, responsive to what he’s in the mood for (eg walk v hanging in the yard) and keeping an eye on how he’s doing. Really appreciate her working us into her schedule as we quickly became one of her regular clients. Highly recommend Samantha!”
“Michelle was great! Posted notes and pics with every visit. Genuinely loves dogs. Friendly and positive interactions with her for key transfer and going over needs. Has husband as backup so all visits covered on time. Would definitely recommend.”
“She is trustworthy and caring, my dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. I also really appreciated the multiple photos and detailed updates for each visit. I would 100% recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“As always, Hieu and Anna took amazing care of my dogs! I received constant updates and photos about their drop in visit. Azula and Kenobi loved seeing their aunties!”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our two cats when we were away. She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates with pictures. We will definitely use her again in the near future!”
“Elvia is the best! She is so good with Bodie and always goes a step above to make sure he has fun with her. It makes me so happy to know he has someone who really cares come play with him while we’re gonna at work.”
About: I’ve owned two dogs, including a sweet senior rescue beagle and my current 5-year-old mini Bernese mountain dog! I have experience caring for both older dogs and younger, energetic pups, so I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also been helping care for my neighbors’ dogs for fun since I was younger, and I figured, why not turn something I already love into a side gig? I’m very used to dog hair, wagging tails, and making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled! Pet care fits really well into my routine! I work part-time as a lifeguard, but my shifts only take up about 6 hours of my day. Outside of that, I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog care, walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get lots of attention! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep them safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and daily routines. I also make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment so they stay happy, engaged, and well-adjusted throughout their care.
“Victoria is truly an excellent sitter! I chose her again because she took great care of my cat last time and is such a great communicator. She always goes above and beyond with taking photographs and making detailed notes, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“Bianca and Charles were amazing pet sitters, and took great care of my cat. They provided great communication and were incredibly flexible. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for someone to take care of your furry loved ones! 🐱”
“10 stars if I could!!! Thank you so much for all your help! At the drop of a dime came and helped out super last minute for a situation! Thank you again, 10/10 support and derive for my cats! Literally saved my cats life! Thank you”
“Janet was great. She did everything we asked, stayed in touch as she cared for our brood (and would have sent a photo if they hadn't disappeared), and left the place nice and tidy. We'd love to use her again!”
“Allison is fantastic! She provided so many photos and updates for every visit. My kitties were well taken care of. Recommend using Allison for in house visits for any pet. She is so sweet and genuinely cares for animals.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I was born into a home with two Golden Retrievers, so I was surrounded by dogs from day one. They were my first best friends and sparked a lifelong love of caring for animals. When I was 10, my parents got me my own dog, and I've been caring for pets ever since. Today, I have five dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily routines that come with keeping pets happy and healthy. Growing up, I also cared for rabbits and a pet tortoise, which taught me that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine. Over the past 10 years, I've cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, giving baths, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to provide the care that works best for them. I recently graduated from college and am currently home while applying to graduate school programs for next year, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to stick to it so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Before each visit or walk, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's personality, preferences, and any special instructions you have, whether that's medications, feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, or things to avoid. During walks, your pet's safety is always my top priority. I'll keep them securely leashed, pay close attention to our surroundings, and make sure they have plenty of water and breaks when needed. During drop-in visits, I'm happy to provide fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of affection, while also respecting your home and leaving everything just as I found it. I believe good communication is an important part of pet care, so I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. I provide frequent photo updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles while you're away. As a dog and human mom, I will take care of your pups and home like my own. I enjoy walking, playing, and chilling out with dogs of all kinds. I'm free to help you with all your dog and house-sitting needs. Rest assured that everything will be taken care of and you might even find it better than you left it! I will care for your animals however you know is best for them. I like to get plenty of exercise, cuddles, and crate time, as needed.

Many thanks, Samantha! So grateful we connected here. She’s been so good to and with my dog. He’s a grumpy old guy but she’s won him over :).

Josh is amazing - attentive, kind, and caring with our two big dogs. They get so excited whenever he walks through the door, and after their hour-long walks, they come home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out! We're incredibly grateful to have found Joshua. It's clear how much he cares about the dogs he works with, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our pups and for being so awesome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Michael did a great job looking after our dogs and cats. We were gone for two weeks and he was very reliable and responsive the whole time. We were confident everyone was very well taken care of and didn’t have to worry about them while we were away. We will definitely ask Michael to watch everyone again in the future!
Krysta was communicative and extremely responsive before, during, and after planning and check ins with our big dog. She shared photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our pup was happy and relaxed with her! We lost connection while away and though we got it resolved, she even offered to come back and check things out. We really appreciated her services and resolve to make sure Meeko was taken care of.
Ella was absolutely amazing with my dog Chewbacca over the weekend! She treated my little boy with so much love, care, and respect the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Chewbacca was so happy and comfortable with her, and you can truly tell she genuinely loves animals. Communication was great, she was very kind, attentive, and went above and beyond. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!
Dana is a rare gem find!!! Trustworthy reliable and great communication. I have two dogs she walks together who no matter how much training we do always act like they’ve never been outside of leashes before. One is aggressive relative the other is easily overly excited. She handles them like an absolute champ and I know they are always safe in her hands!
Trent took wonderful care of my dog while I was out of town. He provided plenty of pictures showing how Murphy was doing and put extra attention into the different things I told him regarding Murphy! I felt much better about leaving Murphy for the weekend knowing Trent was taking care of him. Highly recommend to others!
Mary was quick to respond to our request and at the meet and greet we immediately knew she’d be great for Lyla! We ended up canceling at the last minute but only because it was mutually agreed upon. Both of us had schedule changes and it just worked better. We can’t wait to reschedule so Mary can check in on Lyla again. Thanks for your flexibility Mary!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Springfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in North Springfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
