“Our dog loves Gerrad - when he stays with him, we is part of his family and it’s such a comfort to know he is so loved and well taken care of while we’re away. Excellent communication, lots of pictures, and some training too…can’t ask for more, Gerrad is the best!”

“Brooke is the best. She walked Bandit daily and sent us daily pics and updates on how our Bandit was doing. We spent a week in Branson and it was very comforting that Bandit was being taken care of. This was the first time we used Rover.com and it was a very user friendly app.”

“Thank you Nella for being able to take Dottie on such short notice. Family emergencies don't always take a holiday. I always appreciate the good care that Dottie receives from you. Kari”

“Our Doods, Toby + Dexter, had a great time staying with Amanda, and her precious family. They were all so attentive and played fetch, chase, hide & seek and of course - gave cuddles & kisses to Toby + Dexter. Amanda was sure to keep the fun inside, when it was too hot to play outside. The consistent photos and videos of The Doods, Toby + Dexter, kept our minds at ease during their stay. If you’re looking for a safe, fun and loving place for your four legged baby to stay, look no further.”

“Mallory was the absolute sweetest and I am so grateful that my baby Chips got to spend the weekend with her and her other pets. He got to play so much. I loved the video updates and I felt peace of mind with my dog being in her care. We are also using Mallory for doggy daycare! If you want your pets to have the best experience and great level of care, she is the way to go!”

“Mikala was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Remy and treated her like part of the family. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Remy was happy and comfortable. Mikala was also incredibly flexible and understanding when my drop-off plans changed multiple times, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She even reached out after I picked Remy up because she found one of Remy’s bowls and offered to ship it back to me. That level of thoughtfulness really meant a lot. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely trust Mikala with Remy again. Highly recommend!”

“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”

“Payten is sweet, easy to work with and she is in a convenient location. Jovie was her normal self the next day rather than needing extra rest, which tells me it was a very good stay. Payten also sent me several pictures that told the story of how she was doing, but did not overwhelm me. I would be happy to use her services again.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid, im really considerate of everyone’s time and need of there own time I can help and do anything you may ask even give the pet medicine if that is what is needed I have 4 cats and they are very well trained and loveable. I also help out around the neighborhood in pet sitting so I pretty much know what you will expect of me and I’ll make sure it happens. I give them baths, brush them, feed them, walk them, I’m very calm and time proficient and know what to do in case of emergency
“This was the first time using Rover and leaving our pup. After a meet n greet with Molli and her daughter, we were able to get our questions answered. We noticed Molli's calm tone and temperament which helped ease our minds. We liked that Molli only watched one pet at a time and would allow Ozzy to sleep on the furniture. We knew her daughter was excited to help out which meant even more attention and playtime for our sweet Ozzy. There were lots of photos and messages sent keeping us updated throughout the week. Everything about this process went smoothly. We will absolutely use Molli again!!”

“Nancy and Kevin took such sweet care of our fur baby Honey. She was completely spoiled! They fed my picky eater off of their dinner plate and hand fed her. Nancy provided a photo library daily. We missed her so much, but had complete Confidence in her care.”

About: Combining my years of pet experience with my current flexibility as a stay-at-home wife allows me to provide an incredibly attentive, safe, and loving environment for your dog. As a stay-at-home wife, my schedule is incredibly flexible, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. Since I manage our household from home, I don't have a rigid 9-to-5 commute. This means your pet becomes a natural part of my day. I structure my routine around their needs—whether that’s morning walks, mid-day playtime in the yard, or just having them keep me company while I’m taking care of things around the house. They are rarely left alone and get consistent attention throughout the day I treat every furry friend exactly like my own They have full access to our main living spaces, plenty of comfortable spots to lounge, and they are never left unattended for long periods. I stick closely to whatever feeding, medication, and bathroom schedule they are used to at home so their routine stays completely normal. You can trust they are good hands.

About: My financee, Garrett, and I have cared for the wellbeing of several types of dogs since we were children. We live together, but it will primarily be me who is home with the dogs and if you need help in your home, it will always be me you will speak too. We have two fur babies together and would love to help you care for yours! I work 3 minutes from home and can usually return with in a few hours on days when I have to go to the office, which is fairly rare. I do work a 9-5, but I work hybrid remote. I have a fully privacy fenced in back yard. I let my own dogs out every 3-5 hours for the bathroom, as they are grown and do not need let out much, but I am able to accomodate any bathroom schedule necessary. I am able to keep a meds and feeding schedule as well as an exercise schedule easily with my job flexabilty. Our dogs sleep with us and eat twice a day. We keep a clean, happy home and love to let our dogs out back to run and play often! In the evenings, my fiancee and I can walk your dog or dogs with our own babies as we have multiple leashes with dual or multi-capacity.

Our dog was so spoiled with Daria, I was unsure if she was going to want to come home! Daria has amazing communication, sent tons of photos and videos of our girl being spoiled and she was super understanding of our dogs needs. Daria is definitely our go-to dog sitter!

We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to watch our Molly! From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she was in amazing hands. They were so attentive, caring, and genuinely engaged with her—even at 3 AM when Molly decided it was the perfect time to discover a squeaky toy! 😂 The updates and videos were absolutely amazing and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. They kept us in the loop, and their communication was wonderful. They especially helped calm my husband’s nerves about leaving Molly, which meant so much to us! It was also such a sweet bonus that our kids had a great time too. They loved the beautiful fish pond and had so much fun collecting little rock treasures from the yard. 🥰 It truly felt like Molly was staying with family rather than just being boarded. We are so grateful for the love, attention, and care they gave her. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely be booking with them again! ❤️🐾

Courtney sent pictures and updates everyday, and she was flexible when I needed to pick my dog up a few hours earlier than I had first told her. Her kids were really sweet and I know my dog had a great week with them. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Thank you, Courtney!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Springfield.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
