On the farm and throughout her life she has raised orphaned animals that needed round the clock care at times and her ability to bond with animals is superb, she will treat your babies like her own. While on vacations she has been an amazing pet sitter for us and many of our neighbors and has done this since high school.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I've walked, bathed, trained them. I worked for a breader for a while as well. I am new to Rover and would love the opportunity to walk and have some play time with your pet! I currently have a flexible with schedule so I can have plenty of time with your dog! I prefer Ozark, Nixa or South Springfield but might be able to go elsewhere! I prefer to walk between the hours of 9am-2pm but can possibly do another time. I have walked my dogs about 1/2-1 mile every day. I know some dogs can go further than others and will try to tailor our walks to each dog. I will not walk if it is icy out or below 40 degrees.

Maria goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of your pets, Maria is the perfect choice!”

About: Hi there! My name is Elly, and I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, developing a deep understanding and love for all kinds of dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the rewarding experience of raising and training my own reactive dog, successfully socializing her through patience and consistent, positive reinforcement techniques. Over the years I have raised puppies of different breeds. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can offer personalized dog walking and drop-in visits that cater to your dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs that need a little extra help with leash training, as well as those who may be reactive or have specific behavioral needs. Whether your dog needs some extra training on their walks or just a friendly, experienced companion to spend time with, I’m here to help make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while providing you with peace of mind. Let me know how I can help support you and your furry baby! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I work 9:00am - 6:00pm and I am able to block my schedule as needed. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to care for your fur baby in my home but I may offer this service in the future.


15. Russ F.
“Russ is an extremely responsible and highly dependable guy! He's responsive and trustworthy and I would feel very comfortable leaving him in charge of my pets. He's friendly, gets along with anyone and adapts to all types of environments and situations. His high energy and work ethic are second to none and he's not afraid to go beyond the call of duty. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Russ for your pet services and needs.”

19. Luke & Mackenzie M.
“Luke is the kind of guy dogs love being around! His laid-back vibe puts them at ease, and his chocolate lab, Coco, is proof of that. Whether it’s playtime or just lounging, Luke makes every dog feel like they’ve found a new best friend. I would feel comfortable leaving my dog around Luke for an extended period and so should others!”
