“Sarah & Todd are amazing pet sitters. Sarah’s communication is great. I felt very comfortable bringing out pets into their beautiful home. She sent lots of updates and was very communicative.”
“I just like to say Kimberly was outstanding. This was our first time leaving our boys with a sitter and this was for two days. Immediately after choosing her she was very responsive and helped to ease the worrying especially for my lady. We made it to Kimberly and dropped off our boys and it was very comforting. Kimberly communicated and provided a pics the two whole days our boys was with her. I highly recommend her if you’re in the Springfield, Illinois area. We definitely use her again when we have come to Springfield for business and have to bring our boys.”
“This is the first time I have boarded my dogs, and the first time being away from my younger dog since rescuing him from the shelter. Pamela was so warm and welcoming, the dogs were relaxed and happy in her care. She sent me pictures and updates every day. She was extremely flexible as we navigated our return across three states to try and beat a winter storm. I could see from the way they interacted with her when I picked them up that they adored her. We will\nDefinitely use her again!”
“Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!”
“Kari took such good care of my dog Rudy when I was on vacation for a week. She sent daily updates and photos, and Rudy was very happy and content in her home allowing me to be able to fully focus on my family reunion and have peace of mind about leaving Rudy. Thanks Kari and Jeremy!!”
“Jessica was such an amazing and trustworthy sitter! I could tell how much my anxious little boy trusted her and how genuinely caring she is about all pets. Her daily updates were so cute and funny. Highly recommend!!”
“Karen was great! Maggie had a great stay and seemed comfortable from the time we dropped her off. We really appreciated all the updates Karen provided! I'd recommend Karen in a heartbeat.”
About: Hello there! I am Max and Summer's dad. We are very happy to open up our home to take care of new friends. My puppies are two lovely huskies that are extremely friend and we are constantly together. I work from home. Sometimes I leave the house for 1 to 2 hours and they are left in kennels/closed areas inside the house. Other than that, your puppy will always hang out with the family. We have a fenced backyard where they can run and play with Max, Summer and myself. I usually give them playtime during the morning and the evenings. Also, we go for 20 minute walks in the morning and evening.
“Valerie took very good care of my cat while I was out of town. Spent personal time with Nebula and sent pictures of them cuddling together. Highly recommend using Valerie if you need a place for your animal to stay.”
“John has an easy, calm demeanor that put my senior dog at ease pretty quickly. I could tell when I picked up my boy that he was chill and happy, which is very much appreciated.”
About: Hi, I’m Emily and I already love your dog ☺️ Here’s how I know they’ll love it here too: • 12+ years experience caring for dogs • Home all day (work from home) • Large fenced yard • Cozy pet-friendly furniture • Great neighborhood for walks Bonuses: • Hallie (my dog) is ready to play! She’s super friendly. • My 10 year old son is often here and also ready to play! • Your dog may have new nicknames and/or songs about them by the time you pick up • I’m an artist, and I sometimes do pet artwork 😁 I work from home primarily, so first check my available dates. But I’m flexible so let me know what you need and I’ll do my best to work with you! I have a fenced in yard, a playful dog and son, and lots of cozy spots to relax inside as well! We go on occasional walks as well ☺️
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pup like family—not just a pet to check in on. From extra belly rubs and goofy playtime to patient care for shy or senior dogs, I make sure each furry friend feels safe, loved, and truly at home. My goal isn’t just to meet their needs, but to keep those tails wagging and give you total peace of mind while you’re away Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits and walks, making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening walks, I keep a consistent routine so pets feel secure and cared for. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I love and prioritize every day I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer dependable, loving care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your dog feeling happy and secure. I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs, so they’re not only cared for but truly comforted while you’re away. With me, your pup is treated like family. I also have one dog (cane Corso) who is wonderful around other dogs and well trained.
“Kasondra was wonderful to work with and took great care of our dogs! One of our dogs has special needs (medication, special feeding, head covering outside) and Kasondra had no problem accommodating him. We got lots of updates and I could tell my my dogs were comfortable with her (even the neurotic dachshund). She also dropped the dogs back home which was a HUGE help to us after a day of traveling with a baby. I was a little nervous to be away from the dogs after 18 months of not going anywhere, but they seem to have had a great time! We will definitely rebook Kasondra again if she is available!”
“It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!”
“Hope was great with my girls. I had just recently moved to the area and found myself in need of a sitter immediately. I was very nervous but luckily my girls had a great time. Thanks for keeping them safe and sound while I was away!”

Springfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
You could not ask for a better experience than having Sarah care for your animal while you're out of town. Period. Not only does she send photos daily as most might, but the pictures she sent us were among the very best we have of our dog! Many were entirely suitable to have prints made from them. Sarah loves dogs and from her personal engagement with them on walks, etc. you never have to worry about yours. Our only mild concern was that our old girl Mabel wouldn't want to come home after her 8-day vacation at Club Sarah! Many thanks, Sarah. We’ll surely look to you next time we have to leave town. George and Gail
Josephine was amazing with my dog Gunnison while I was away on a trip. She was caring, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. Gunnison loved her and came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
