I knew my animals were in great hands! Laura was attentive, interested in getting to know my dog and cat, and her rover cards were *chefs kiss*. We will definitely be booking with Laura again and I encourage you to follow suit if you want your animals to be cared for like you do!

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!

About: I’ve always grown up around pets whether they were my families, my own, and all the family friends. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Not saying I’m a professional trainer but I have taught my cat a trick or two:) if you have any specific questions about the care I have done I would love to answer EVERYTHING:) I work as a coach and recruiter so in-between office hours and practices I go home and make sure I give my cat all the love’ns and clean up his litter-box and take him on occasional walk on his harness. Make sure their water is fresh, make sure their feeding schedule is up to date, no messes in the house, hang out with cuddles and enrichment time, and make sure they feel loved:)

About: I’ve been hugging dogs since I was a kid, and I’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and I enjoy hosting furry friends - I take care of them and they play hard with them! Please note: *I cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *I host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and I will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is my full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! I spend my days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. My 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes me a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! I accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; I will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. My availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but I aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! My entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! I can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. I don’t require pups to use crates while I’m gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, I’m happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but I supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. I have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to me! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

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!

This was our first time hiring an outside sitter and Francesca was such a blessing for us to find! Our normal coverage plans change and we were last minute searching for someone to look in on our two younger Maine-Coons, while we were going to be out of town for a holiday week trip. Francesca was pleasantly friendly, easy to communicate with and our large kittens loved her! (The treats she brought didn't hurt the interaction either 😊) It was a great first time experience on Rover and now we know who we will be contacting first the next time!

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.

Shadia maintained timely communication with us which took away a lot of the anxiety of leaving our pets for a week. He took our dog out for a walk twice a day even though that was not a part of our request and provided additional help when we needed it. He also offered to help with other tasks even though we did not ask for it. I am happy we got we got the opportunity to work together and I would gladly work with him again.
