“She is sooo amazing with my Prince Brodie. She keeps a calm sense about herself which in return keeps him calm. She is very knowledgeable about dogs which u will notice first time you meet her. She is to follow instructions and handle emergency situations with an ease. We are lifetime clients!”
“Jada was great with both our dogs, she was especially good with our puppy who was a little timid at first but they seemed to really warm up to her fast. We are really glad to have found Jada, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Macy is punctual and wonderful with my dog. I appreciate the effort she puts into each walk and really makes the most out of the time. Highly recommended her.”
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”

About: I love to walk and your dog will love walking with me! I am conscientious and courteous. Safety first and always scoop the poop! I am a passionate and empathetic dog guardian! I have worked at a well known (SPCA) vet clinic located in southern Virginia. While there I managed a staff of ten and helped transform their low cost spay and neuter facility of 500 patients to a full service clinic of over 10,000. I recently moved to Georgia and am excited to start volunteering at the local animal shelter. Sadly my dog passed away in 2019, and I have yet to bring home another angel. That's one of the reasons I love Rovering! It's like being a dog grandmother - I get to spoil them to pieces! My motto is safety first, then nothing but fun! I enjoy taking care of all dogs, but there is a special place in my heart for the oldies but goodies. I work remotely so watching your boo is part of my favorite job! I am at home throughout the day and am focused on your boo. In my home safety is always my number one priority. I make sure to keep and clean and tidy space. Water will always be fresh and topped off. The floor and counters are free from things your boo can get into. Rules stay the same as if your boo was at home.
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
About: I’ve volunteered at my family’s dog care center for five years now. Love going for a walk, run or even to the doggy park. I have no doubt that your dog will not love me at all, I like bonding with them and making sure they feel safe and comfortable around me. Most importantly I will treat your dog as if they are mine own. I’ve been a dog lover since I could walk. If a family that I have been a sitter for needs me because something came up and I’m available I will gladly come with no problem and stay as long as needed. I am currently a part time student taking summer classes at famu. My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to accommodate to you and your pets needs. If clients have fenced in yards your fur baby will be supervised freely or if walks are permitted a leash will be used for the safety of your fur baby and others

About: I have a 5-year-old golden retriever. I trained him myself and I always get compliments from strangers that he is a well-behaved dog which I am very proud about. I've always loved dogs and have been around them since I was a child. Since I'm a pet owner myself I know how I want my pet to be treated by a pet sitter. I always send pictures of the dogs to the owners and keep the pet owners updated on the regular basis during the pet's stay with me. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom. My toddler and my dog love to go on walks, so we spend a lot of time walking the trails and playing fetch at the parks. My golden retriever is very friendly and loves to have company over. I always keep all dogs that I watch on the leash while walking to keep them safe and secure. I don't usually let the dogs so say hi to other dogs if I see their body language telling me that they are uncomfortable in the situation, so we can avoid any dog fights.
Springfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
My first time using Brittany with my dog who has some anxieties and she was the perfect fit! He warmed up to her immediately on meet and greet and did great with her while we were out of town. I will definitely be utilizing her services again. I feel very comfortable with her.
Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of. It’s always scary letting someone take care of your furbabies for the first time and she made me feel so comfortably and at ease! Will definitely use her again.
I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!
Edward came to our hotel while we were in town to walk our boy Cooper. He was on time, sent photos and was even kind enough to add an extra visit/walk when our schedule changed and were unable to get back to the hotel. Edward was FANTASTIC!!! I will definitely request his services again if we ever find ourselves in Jacksonville, FL again!!
Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!
Shira is an absolute gem! She has been walking my dog regularly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care, reliability, and professionalism. From day one, it was clear how much she truly loves animals—my dog took to her instantly, which is rare! Shira is always punctual, communicative, and goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a last-minute schedule change or an extra-long walk on a sunny day, she’s flexible and kind. I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends after each walk—it gives me such peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog comes home happy and well-exercised, which says it all. I trust Shira completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and dependable dog walker. She’s the best!
