“My fur babies had such a great experience! She was incredibly attentive and made sure I stayed updated the whole time with pictures and check-ins. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

About: Hey there everybody! The summer is upon us and I am ready to spend time with your fur babies! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individual, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! Your pets are always welcome in my home and will be spoiled!!!! I live in a gated community that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk
“Jeweliana was thorough, communicative, and kind throughout our booking with her. She was willing to accommodate adjustments, and asked questions that showed she was deeply paying attention to our cats and their welfare. I could not have asked for someone better to watch our kitties for us, and would definitely book with her again.”

“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”


“She was AMAZING!! So kind and the dogs loved her!! One of my babies sometimes is a little hard and she did amazing with him! So many pictures and even played with them so much! WILL HIRE AGAIN!!”

“As always, made sure Duchess was taken care of and walked on time. Duchess had no accidents while I was gone and I did not have to worry about her while I was enjoying family time.”

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !
About: I have 8 pets of my own. 1 Dog (Cane Corso) and 7 cats, I also care for community animals as well. I have always walked my dogs, so I’m used to dog walking not just letting them out in the yard (if that’s what you’re looking for). I have fur-baby sat my friends and neighbors dogs. Most of the time it’s large breeds, like APBT, Akita, Shepherds. I used to have a Belgian Malinios as well, so I am familiar with high energy breeds. In my free time I also help my friend with her mobile pet care business. Since I have my own, I know how important it is to pay attention to the owner’s directions, when pet sitting. I have a full time job, and can do morning drop and evening drop ins. Depends on the days I can do middle of the day as well. It’s all based on your needs, and I would obviously not commit to anything that I can’t follow through with. I prefer a meet and greet with the owner and the pet before the actual service, as I want to make sure the pet is familiar with me, and also that I can follow the exact instructions the owner has for me.
“Very good experience. This is my first time having a kitten and my first time being away for a couple days. Meghan was extremely punctual when meeting. The pictures she took of my kitten were the most cute and precious pictures. I felt great reassurance that she was ok. My kitten was a litttle stressed when returning, but I can tell from the pictures that Meghan gave great comfort to my kitten and I really appreciate it. Would recommend.”

About: I like to update you on your pet/s every day, how they did and how they played. I also like to send pictures to you of your pet/s and videos for you to enjoy! I'm here to help right when you need me. I enjoy caring for all pet family and updating you with photos or calls of our time together. Reach out for more info. Pet care is heavily dependent on owner instructions and my own care experience. My attention is based on scheduled care and includes daily walks, proper meal preparation and admission, medications as necessary and active/brain play and independent settling.
“Marilyn is such a great sitter for my Mason! He has some quirks when I’m out of town and she catered to all of them. He was so happy in the photos she sent.”
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

Em was absolutely great with Juniper! Juniper is very slow to warm up and Em had her comfortable by the end of her first visit. She sent updates and pictures. Communication was great and Juniper was one happy puppy. Highly recommend Em! We would love to work with her again!
