“Lorali is super kind and clearly very experienced with caring for dogs. She deeply loves her own, and we feel very comfortable knowing that Remi will be well taken care of by a kind dog person.”
About: ~ I Provide 24/7 On Call Animal Care~ I have cared for animals of all kinds since I was little. I have experience with a large range of creatures, from hamsters to horses you name it. I have medical experience handling IV's and Other injection medications. I am CPR trained, and have been CPR certifed, however, certification is not up to date for this year yet. I have nursed two small infant puppies back to health from Parvo through injection Iv's, Handled Ear infections due to Yeast & Earmites, on too many occasions I've cured stray Cats & kittens of worms, as well as many other positive outcomes for Unhealthy Furkids that were lucky to have found my care...Hence why Im very cautious when it comes to any possible exposure to bacteria & possible illness. Over the years i have had many different senerios and challenges arise that I have handled with ease. I have an amazing reputation for animal training, altho ive never been Trainer certified. From Seniors to newborns I always have any animals best interest at heart, they deserve a life better then we can give but I will continue striving to deliver!! I am currently unemployed since recovering from Carpal and Cubital tunnel surgery. So im free all day & week to Check In/Hangout/& Hike with your furry friends!! I personally feel as tho they deserve Treat & Potty breaks all the time, so let me be there for them when you can't. :)♡ I spend all outdoor time monitoring & playing with your fur kids, for both saftey and to keep your kiddos mind active. Constantly engageing through interactions, helps to keep your kids distracted of your absence!! I have two friendly fur kiddo's myself (With Separation Anxiety) that love to help keep your fur babies company. We enjoy bringing activity boards, stimulating toys, and treat puzzles, for your fur kids to engage and activate their smart thinking mind's. It's important to me that we make sure throughout the day we are drinking plenty of water (Especially when out in the Sun) and that I'm listening to ALL of my furry friends needs!!
About: Animals are my passion making them happy wanted and comfortable is my goal while away from home and give there owners peace of mind knowing there in good hands. I volunteer at local animal shelter but I don't do it all day so I can still make time to spend with your furry pet friend I prefer to take care of the pets in there on home so they feel more at ease in a familiar environment but parks are always an option too.
About: I've grown up around two cats (short hair male and long hair female), birds (parakeets), and leopard geckos (one male one female). I have dogsat a variety of sizes (including a female husky) and did some dog walking a few years ago (a pit bull female) I currently work less than full time and go to college less than full time so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule, to make it slightly easier with planning I work I would be available everyday besides Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!
About: I have always had dogs in my home growing up. I also provide bathing and nail trims to dogs of every size. I am able to help train on basic obedience or other "tricks" as needed. I have patience to deal with excited puppies and work with them as well. As a stay at home mom with one child, I'll have plenty of time in my day to take the time to play with your dog(s) and am available just about every day of the week! Alongside my own set of rules, I like to abide by what the pet parent says, since that is what the animal is most comfortable with. When taking dogs for walks, I don't like to use flexi-leashes. I find those unsafe as the mechanism can fail and I think most dogs don't need that much leash freedom at will.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Springfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
