“Lori is an absolutely amazing care person, and a perfect professional. She knew exactly what to do when my dog misbehaved, and took perfect care of her while I was away. I look forward to working with her more in the future, and am eternally grateful.”
“Thank you so much, Kyle! You are the best! I really appreciate your help and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands. Definitely will rebook. Thank you again!”
About: Hi! I’m Jaqueline, and I’ve always had a strong love for animals. In high school, I took an academy course in veterinary science, which taught me the basics of animal health, safety, and proper care. I’m very cautious and attentive when it comes to animals, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just companionship, I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their needs and behavior. Hi! I currently work part-time at a photography company and also run my own small business. I attend NOVA, but I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. During the summer, I’ll have even more availability to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet, peaceful, safe neighborhood, which provides a great space for pets to play and enjoy the outside
About: I’ve had a dog of my own who will always hold a special place in my heart. 🐶💕 I’d love to give your pup the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I work full-time, but I live very close to home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to check in on your babies throughout the day. I’ll make sure they get regular walks, attention, and care while you’re away! I have two friendly cats who are happy to keep your pets company! 🐱💕 If your pet prefers their own space, I also have a spare bedroom where they can relax comfortably and have some quiet time. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life! I've taken care of my neighbors' pets growing up, volunteered for 4 years for Jersey State Animal Rescue in their cat room at a local PetSmart helping to get cats adopted, and I've also had a dog of my own for 11 years! I currently work full time 4 days a week, but have Fridays off, so I am available most weekends and nights to take care of your pets! I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable while I am taking care of them! Whatever you believe is best for them is what I will do!
About: I’ve had the joy of owning an American Akita, a Pitbull mix, and a Husky, so I’m familiar with different breeds and their unique personalities. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and I do my best to make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. I currently work from home mon-fri from 8:30-5:30 but I will have plenty of time throughout the day to love and care for your dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a dog park in the neighborhood to keep the dogs entertained. I also have the luxury of being able to work wherever so I’m able to care for dogs in my clients home as well.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around animals. This isn’t just something I do for money I actually have fun with it. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re super playful, shy, or just want someone to be with them. When you’re away, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and not alone. I’ll play with them, give them attention, and treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for them to feel happy and cared for the whole time, not just “watched.”❤️🐾 Im available in the afternoons and weekends! i’m always flexable with my schedules, i work a part time job so i can have lots of time with your pup! I offer in-home pet care, meaning I care for your pets right in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and happiest. Comfort & Routine First!!– I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Keeping their routine consistent helps reduce stress and makes them feel secure while you’re away. Special Care – Whether it’s administering medications, helping senior pets with mobility, or reinforcing training for puppies, I’m attentive and experienced in meeting specific needs. Clean & Tidy – I keep food and water bowls clean, tidy up litter boxes, and make sure your pet’s space stays fresh and comfortable. Love & Attention – Beyond basic care, I provide companionship belly rubs, playtime, cuddles, or quiet presence, depending on what your pet enjoys most. Daily Updates – You’ll never be left wondering I send regular photos and updates so you feel connected and reassured. I treat your home with the same respect and care as I do your pets clean, responsible, and trustworthy every step of the way.
“Our puppy loves Devora!! She is communicative, prompt, reliable, and we know that our puppy is in good hands. She initiated a meet-and-greet before we booked and we could tell she was a good fit right away. She takes Nala on long walks, plays, and sends lots of cute picture updates. We are so lucky to have her watch our pup!”
About: Hello, my name is Youngri. I started pet sitting several years ago to teach my 3 kids responsibility and to save money to buy a Nintendo Switch. Ever since, my kids and I have been watching dogs periodically. Even though I am the one who primarily takes care of the customer's dog, my kids love to help out and play with our new furry friends. My kids and I are also open to watching pets other than dogs or cats, such as birds, rabbits or guinea pigs. Fyi, my kids will not watch your pet without adult supervision. If your pet needs to be with me 100%, please let me know ahead. To prevent any inconvenience, dogs can be kept in a crate when it's only necessary. If your dog doesn't like being in a crate, that's fine. Just let me know ahead. I walk dogs at least once a day. Please message me for details if you are interested. I take lots of pictures throughout the day and send them to owners to show how their pets are doing. If your dog is not fully potty trained sorry but I cannot watch your dog. I will walk dogs at least once a day and let them use the backyard as much as needed. I have a fenced yard to ensure their safety.
“I had the pleasure of re-booking Daisy to watch my cat for another weekend. She was wonderful in providing timely updates and in dealing with some of the mischief my cat got into while we were gone. I am so grateful for her kindness in caring for our new cat and flexibility. Thank you Daisy!”
About: I want to be able to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment where your pets can get the love and attention they deserve just like mine. I've always love dogs. Right now I have a female corgi which is adorable and love her so much. I'd be delighted to come to your home to walk your dog, take him/her to Vet or to a grooming appointment. Please let me know any medical conditions your pup may have. Any special needs. What the rules are at your house, also I require your pups to be vaccinated and treated with fleas and tick medication.
“We are so happy to have had Becca taking care of our cat, Pumpkin, for 4 weeks. Becca was loving and attentive, always coming up with different games to entertain Pumpkin. She is also great at communicating updates and sending pictures at every visit. We are thankful to come back home to a happy and well taken care cat.”
“Laci was amazing! She took care of our two dogs over the 4th of July weekend on very short notice, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy the entire time. We would absolutely book with Laci again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my own dog, Runner, for 2 years. Over the past year I’ve also walked dogs for friends and neighbours, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels and leash manners. Caring for runner every day means I know the routine well: feeding schedules, exercise needs and spotting when a dog is anxious or needs a quiet moment. I’m a freelance digital marketer and work from home, so I’m around all day, every day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and I can fit in walks, play breaks and potty trips around their usual routine rather than mine. I’m also available most weekends, and happy to be flexible on drop-off and pick-up times. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced yard, so dogs can run and play off leash safely. Inside, there are multiple rooms, which means your dog can join in the action or settle somewhere quiet if they need a break. My dog, Runner (pictured), is very friendly and loves having a playmate, though I always start with a meet and greet to make sure the dogs are a good match. I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine, and I’ll follow your instructions on feeding, medication and house rules.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was two years old. I grew up on a farm with many cats, kittens, puppies, dogs, goats, chickens, bunnies. etc. I love ALL animals and strive to give them the best care while their parents are away! Anytime. Both my husband and I are always home throughout the day, as we have opposite schedules. Your babies will have eyes on them at all times and we can do drop ins whenever needed! I treat every animal as if they are my own. It's extremely important to take care of these babies with patience, care, love and attention!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Springfield
Leaving my dogs behind while out of town for six days was a first for me, so I was naturally pretty nervous going into the process. I interviewed several people before meeting Velkin in person. My girlfriend and I hosted her for a meet and greet, and her genuine, welcoming presence stood out immediately. There was nothing fake or performative about her. She has the kind of ground-level authenticity that puts you at ease right away. My Chihuahuas took to her immediately as well, which said everything. If you know anything about Chihuahuas, they do not warm up to strangers quickly, if at all. Hiring her was an easy decision, and she did not disappoint. She came by twice a day to handle feeding, water, outdoor time, and spending quality time with them. Beyond basic care, she treated my dogs like her own. I received regular photos and detailed updates after her visits, giving me complete peace of mind. I also felt totally comfortable giving her unfettered access to my home while I was away. On top of everything, she was remarkably flexible. When I came home a day early, she was gracious enough to modify the booking and remove that final day. Since she had reserved that slot for me, it would have been completely fair for her to charge for the full six days, so that gesture was unexpected and extremely kind. Velkin did a phenomenal job, and I have zero regrets about hiring her. She provides world class service, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I travel. Thanks again Velkin. You rock :) Jose, Stephanie, Lucy, & Waffles
Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)
Rachel was the best! She is competent and communicative. It was easy to go out of town because she loved on my dog and sent wonderful photos and fun stories about their adventures! Both my boys are older (13 and almost 15) and one has 3 legs. She was great at keeping my reactive big dog calm and he loved all her cuddles and treats and trips outside! She comforted my small tripod through the thunderstorm and he greatly appreciated her lifting him up onto the couch for snuggles and her carrying him home when he got tired after she let him explore and sniff out all his fave places. Thanks and the boys say woof!
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!
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!
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!

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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
