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!
“Gina is an extremely awesome dog sitter. We will be rehiring her in the future when she is available. The puppies were always played with and had her full attention for the 30minutes of her drop in visits. Her hilarious commentary is refreshing and welcomed. She leaves very thorough notes and takes lots of pictures for our enjoyment while we are away. Thank you Gina for taking care of our fur babies.”
“Taylor is the best! She was professional, polite, and punctual! Our sweet Scully loved her and our aloof cat even took to her. If you want a real life Snow White with attention to detail, book Taylor!”
“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!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a young child. Does your dog (or other pet) need TLC when your out or care while you are away? With years of experience I offer in and out of home care for pets of neighbors, family and friends. This includes daily walks, special feedings, medications and extra TLC to keep your pet well cared for. We love them all...the mature but timid rescue to those learning puppies with lots of energy! I work at home so I am available for daily drop ins, week day and weekend care and flexibility. For out-of-home care I offer walking and valuable enrichment time with your pet. My in-home care provides full service including feedings, walks, play and lots of 1 to 1 time. I have a fenced in back yard and lots of indoor play space as well. Since I walk 3+ miles daily your pet can get as short or long outdoor time that fits their needs. We have no pets of our own. Additional love and attention are given to our ‘extended family’ from my adult kids. My son is 19 and greatly appreciates having “the best animals in the world” around to borrow and love on until he finishes.
About: I have had babies all my life! If you need a loving home for them to visit while your gone-you found the right person! I have been bringing in babies for others while they are gone on family trips the last 5 years. I currently work part time. This allows me the freedom to help out others that may want to plan a get away. I am will to pick up and bring your baby back. With in reason (30 miles) if further we can set up a meeting point. I have a blue tooth collar for the dogs as I don’t have fenced in area at this time. We are in the country with plenty of room to play!

She even took the time to give my cats some attention and play with my dogs. I can't recommend Elisa enough, she is fabulous! She gave us complete reassurance and peace of mind that our babies were in the best hands while we were away.”
“Kiri was able to come by with very little notice and help out when my normal sitter unexpectedly couldn’t make it. She stayed longer than asked and was sure to take many pictures and a detailed description on her visit. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend to others.”

About: As a family inherited skill set, I began dog sitting and cat sitting when I was just 15 years old! Over the years, through word of mouth and genuine care, I’ve grown to love DOZENS of dogs, cats, rabbits, and even Guinea pigs through my services. From neighbors to family, church friends to local students, my name was the one passed around in my hometown! Now, I’ve moved to Springfield for a job in social services and am looking to rebuild my clientele! Special skills include: Puppy training Senior care Nail trims Bathing and grooming (went to school for this many years ago, but decided to go a different route!) All around Snow White energy I currently work 7am-3pm, but my days can be flexible and even remote! I’m around on the weekends and even have two dogs of my own so am well adjusted to configuring their schedules—feeding, walks, medicines, etc. My life adjusts to the critters, not the other way around! I have a fenced in yard with two friendly pups who love to play! We have lots of toys, but are very careful to keep an eye on the dogs when playing so no one gets hurt!
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I currently have two tabby cats that I love and adore. I grew up with dogs and my parents still have 3 dogs at home. I have pet sat for many friends and neighbors! I’m currently a full time student, but the way my schedule is set up I have frequent breaks throughout the day. Weekends are usually available with notice. I always make sure to get a thorough debrief from the owner about their pets needs! Feeding, bathroom breaks, walks, or even just spending some quality time with your pet- I’m your gal!

Chloe M.
“I can not say enough good things about this wonderful young woman! My animals are my babies and I want, and expect, anyone I trust to their care to love and care for them as I would. Chloe does EXACTLY that. She is an animal lover herself so she knows precisely the kind of pet caregiver someone else would want. Not only does Chloe follow instructions given to her for a sit/stay, she goes above and beyond expectations. Every. Single. Time. She maintains contact, going so far as to send photo updates and an occasional video, to let you know that your pets are not only being cared for, but they’re happy and thriving too! That can be an especially daunting feeling when you have animals with anxiety but Chloe truly seems to have a trick for everything she encounters to make my fur babies feel at ease and like I’m not even gone. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to any one I know, and I have. I’m not sure what other pet caregivers have to offer, but I can say, you likely won’t want to use another after Chloe. 10/10 all the way around.”
Jenna L.
“Jenna is a great pet parent herself and is an animal lover in general. She cares for every animal that she meets and believes that the human-animal bond is very important. I would trust her with my own pets at any time.”
