“A little late on my review. I apologize. Taylor and her family were fantastic with my Coco. I have never done anything like this before and she made the experience great. She sent pictures and made sure my little girl was well taken care of.”

“Amanda and her family were wonderful! She took our pups for a last minute booking and treated them like family. We got lots of photos from the night. I would highly recommend them for their care and love towards our babies! 🤍”

“Gerrard was and is an amazing sitter! He took care of my fur baby girl like family. Kept me updated with pictures/messages. I will definitely keep using him as my regular sitter for my fur baby!!”

“Courtney and daughter took great care of our puppy Leia. She was with her, in her house or on walks ,virtually the entire time were out of town. She responded quickly in a somewhat of an emergency situation for us. So happy we were able to connect with Courtney. Thanks again!!”

“Gretchen and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Gretchen sent photos each day. Our dog was happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend! I will certainly be contacting Gretchen again!”

“Kaitlin was wonderful. She took fantastic care of our dog. She sent updates and pictures and she even gave him a bath before we picked him up. I would highly recommend her.”

“Brooke took care of my 2 cats for 5 days and treated them the same as if they were her own. She is very knowledgeable about feline behavior and tuned into the adjustment process they were going through being in a new place. I was very impressed with the way she helped my kitties feel safe, calm, and entertained like spaces they could have privacy, a cat tree to play or sleep on, and assorted toys (they loved the robot laser!). We clarified how frequently I wished to be updated on how they were doing and she gave me details about their activity, eating and drinking, and when she tucked them in for the night. Highly recommend and will undoubtedly hire Brooke again.”

“Mallory was great. She gave us plenty of updates and it seemed my pups didn't want to go home. One of my dogs had to be pushed out the door when I picked them up from their stay. Will definitely use Mallory again.”

“I felt confident leaving Dottie with Nella for the first time. Dottie is older, needed medication given and is reactive with other dogs. Nella assured me she had plenty of room to keep all the dogs separated for the length of Dottie's stay. When I arrived for pickup, Nella had Dottie in the yard and all travel kit was packed up. Dottie looked happy and alert. I would be happy to leave Dottie with Nella again, and recommend Nella to my friends.”

“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”


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.
“Nancy and Kevin not enough good things can be said about you two. Bruno had the time of his life and its thanks to you guys. There were so many pictures and videos that I never had to worry and it was so much fun seeing how happy he was. THANK YOU so much for everything and Bruno will be back!!”

About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.
“As always, my girls had a great stay with Heather. I believe this was their 4th stay, but it was their longest. Heather always responds to messages quickly and send lots of pictures.”

“Jill is THE BEST! She kept our two cats for 13 days while we waited for our new home to close. She might have spoiled our cats and loved them even more than we do! She sent the sweetest pictures every day and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so well. I highly recommend her and will use her again!”


About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!

Springfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
Austin is fairly new at this and he met all of our needs. His house was very neat and he had a fenced in backyard. Austin was very friendly to my husband and I and our dog seemed very welcomed in the house. We ended up getting back sooner from our trip than expected and he was very accommodating to meet us His house was easily accessible just North of I-44. Will will definitely use him again when traveling South.
