“The second I met Laura I knew I found the right person. Not only is she a great lady, but she genuinely loves animals and my cats were comfortable around her. She was very communicative and kept me in the loop. I will use her for future needs.”
“Morgan was awesome with taking care of our four cats. I could not have asked for a better experience. I looked forward to getting the report and pictures of them each day. You can tell she is an animal person and my cats too right up with her, even our shy one. I would highly recommended using her to anyone and plan on booking again in the future!!”
About: Hi, I’m Aubri! I’m a college student here in Springfield. I am actually studying to become a veterinarian. However if you know anything about vet school you know if can be pricey! That’s why I am looking to make some extra money on Rover! I have been around all types of animals all my life and would love the chance to come help you with yours! My grandparents own a farm so I have grown up watching animals of all sizes. I also have 3 cats and a boxer around me constantly! I am currently a student so I have plenty of time to play with and watch all of your animals! I am available all morning and most of the afternoon as I take night classes so I’ll be able to watch your pups or take them out to walk while you are at work! I will take care of your baby like he/she is my own. All animals have my heart so I take being in charge of them very seriously. Pleas know that your animal(s) will be cared for when i’m around!
About: I’ve worked in vet clinics and for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, giving me hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and emergencies. As a former vet assistant, I helped with surgeries, medications, and cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and post-op patients. At poison control, I worked directly with vets and pet owners to assess toxic exposures and guide treatment. Outside of work, I’m a high-energy, animal-loving farm girl with a big heart and a great sense of humor. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away. I work full-time as a Crop Consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I treat every animal like my own, with safety, love, and attention to detail always top of mind. Safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved, whether in your home or mine. With my vet clinic and poison control experience, I’m confident handling meds, emergencies and all personalities. You’ll get regular photo updates and peace of mind every step of the way.
“Kosandra was fantastic with our 2 kitties. She was on time for both feedings. The photos she took of them reassured me that they were in good hands. They were playing and allowing her to rub their bellies...a really good sign. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Laura took such good care of our 3 kitties while we were gone on vacation and sent us pictures of them every time she visited them. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I would trust her to watch our kitties again any time. :D”
About: No dog too big or small to handle. Being around animals for me is therapeutic so I am getting more in return! Skilled with cats and dogs since a young age and hope to meet your bundle of joy soon! Very flexible as I work from home and currently pet sitting for a few friends full-time. Available most all days of the week and holidays. I ensure the well-being of pets by following established routines for feeding, exercise, and play. I maintain a clean and safe environment, administer medications as needed, and provide ample affection. Communication with pet owners is key to understanding specific needs and addressing any concerns promptly.
“I was absolutely adored the brief yet thorough notes Anthony would post on the Rover cards for my two fur babies after each drop-in; as an anxious pet-owner it really kept me at ease and it was nice reading the little adventures they would get up to. I was quite pleasantly shocked as no one had done this before. He even kept the house tidy if there were any accidents or naughty chewed areas. As well as took the initiative to put on some doggie music so they didn’t feel so alone. He was pleasant and professional, yet empathetic and personal all at the same time which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be using Anthony again in the future and I recommend you do, too!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would love nothing more than to take care of your fur babies! I would love to see your fur babies!

My love for animals runs deep and I’ve taken every step necessary to train my animals and take care of them!

“This is the 2nd time I have used Chloe as my sitter for Harrison. I was gone over a week and she checked on him twice a day. Every time she updated me on him and reassured me that everything was fine. She even took care of a couple things that popped up at my apartment. I highly recommend Chloe and will use her again.”

“Courtney takes great care of our cats when we’re out of town! She sends thoughtful and thorough updates on how they’re doing and even braved the blizzard to take care of our girls.”
“This was my first time hiring someone for a drop in visit and the thought of giving some my house made me nervous but Jeremiah answered all of my questions and is quite knowledgeable! After our meet and greet I was completely at ease. I could see his love for pets. He proved he was capable of handling Marty who clearly has not been trained not to pull. He came at the time appointed, walked/played/fed Marty and I was completely satisfied and grateful. I definitely plan to hire him again and will highly recommend others to him.”
