“Samantha was just what we didn’t know we needed in a pet sitter! She was fabulous. This was our first time needing pet sitter services and it was a last minute change which worried us. Our worries were put to rest after our meet and greet with Samantha. Sophie dog warmed right up to her and we could see that she felt comfortable right away with Samantha. Samantha gave multiple updates, photos, and during her visits. We are thankful!”


“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!!”


“Nakee was AWESOME! My dog is 13yrs old and requires extra attention. He bonded with Nakee immediately during our meet and greet. She was very professional and attentive to all our needs. Will definitely use her again!🤗”


“Was an awesome sitter! Kept me constantly up to date especially since one of my dogs gets really bad anxiety when we leave. He took great care of them and they didn't seem as anxious as they usually are.”


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.

“Kayla was great- very reliable and communicative. Appreciate the time she sent with my dog & the helpful photos & summaries she shared. Highly recommend and 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”


“Kasondra did a wonderful job taking care of our older girl, including dispensing medications. Kasondra is super friendly and attentive to the needs of our dog. Highly recommend!”


“Will absolutely be choosing Abby again. He experience with collies made me a lot more comfortable leaving my two fur babies home alone with her to check in on. As an anxious pet-owner she made it easier and her communication made me feel so much at ease.”


“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: Professional, responsible, mature male recently relocated to Springfield. No children- but have always had several dogs and cats. Have volunteered for over two decades with various welfare groups as well. Have actually been petless for over a year now- prior work schedule. Love all dogs and cats- and pets for that matter. Am wanting low key opportunity to work doing EXACTLY what I love- being around pets. Am very flexible, very responsible (have passed multiple extensive background checks for previous employment). Am very responsible, dependable, and absolutely cool under pressure. Am also very flexible and more than able to accommodate last minute and or emergency requests as well. Each and every client will be treated as my own! Thank you for your interest and time. I am very flexible and available 7 days a week- all hours of the day. Will also travel , within reasonable distance. Thank you- Stefan Currently am only available to take care of pets in their home, not my own. In emergency situations will consider my home or other options.

“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.”


“Dear Rover, Your employee Shelbie, has to be the best employee in your whole company. She’s knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and thorough!! When I hire Shelbie, all my concerns about my fur babies, wash away!! She is a treasure!! ❤️❤️”


“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.”


About: Little or big, I am happy to care for them! I enjoy taking them out for walks whenever I possibly can and giving them human interaction along with socialization. I am sparatically available due to being a small business owner and mother of very active children. I will do the best I possibly can with availability but do not expect full time from me. I am a part time, when I can dog walker. I will treat yours as if they were mine. Love and affection will be provided. I love to go for walks with them anytime I can.
