About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.

“Bree did a great job with my two needy dogs. We were in the midst of moving and with doors open, movers in and out, and Hoodini living again in the form of a dog, it was best they be some place more peaceful and secure. The second day there were excited to be out the door and off to the car to see Bree! They sat quietly most of the day watching doggy TV, which is what they needed. The dogs obviously liked her, even our shy reluctant one. I definitely taking them to her again! She knew they needed peace and quiet and gave them that.”

“I’ve been using Heather’s pet sitting services 2–3x/week for over 2 years now. She is the absolute best. She will provide such loving, enriching care for your dog. My dog is exhausted from all the play and excitement when I come to pick her up, and that’s exactly what she needs because she doesn’t get enough of that otherwise. Heather has gone out of her way countless times to make sure my dog is taken care of. I’d never consider another dog sitter at this point unless I absolutely had to.”

“I was beyond pleased with Linda. She made me feel very comfortable and at ease leaving my fur baby with her! I will be using her again!!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Raquel treats your pups like her own. I started taking my young pup to her while I am at work a couple of days a week, and each time Murph comes home she seems full of love and ready to sleep from all of the playing! Every morning when we drive up to Raquel’s house Murph cannot get to her front door fast enough… she gets so excited to play with Raquel and her four legged friends! Thank you Raquel for treating my girl like your own!”

“First time ever leaving my fur babies with a stranger, and I am happy I chose the right person to do so. Courtney and her kids were incredibly helpful and took great care of my 10-year-old Boxer and 13-year-old Plott Hound. They made sure both dogs felt comfortable and at ease. Their home was clean and welcoming, and the kids and toys kept my dogs happy and entertained the whole time. Definitely would go back to Courtney if I am in town again!”

Hawk P.

“So glad I found a sitter I can trust! Wally loves visiting with Piper and making new friends. He seems to be very content here. I’m grateful for the pics, videos, updates, etc and making sure he gets some rest during the boundless energy he has.”

“Amanda was great. Mason had a great time and was very happy and playful when we picked up. We needed her on VERY short notice due to a family member being in hospital, and she was very accommodating!!! Will definitely us again if needed!!!!”

About: I’ve owned at least one dog on my own since 2011. It’s me and my Dixie girl right now. She loves to play and also loves to chill on the couch! I work from home, so I am home most of the day to care for your dog! Frequent potty breaks, any type of feeding schedule, we can make it work! I have a fenced yard and love to be outside playing fetch or with other toys. I also love to lay on the couch and snuggle!

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!

“Great with our two dogs! Extremely patient and kind with our very vocal husky mix, and skittish collie. There is plenty of room for dogs to feel safe in their own areas. Will be using again for sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets when they’re out of town or busy. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra patience or love. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student, so my class schedule is flexible and I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends. I love spending time with animals, and pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to adjust based on your pet’s specific needs. In my client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions closely to make sure their pet stays on a familiar routine. I take care of feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to give lots of love, attention, and comfort so the pet feels safe while their owner is away. I keep things clean, send updates, and treat their home with care and respect. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles!

About: Hello and welcome to our little side of dog paradise! I will need a meet and greet before I can commit to any extent of stay. All dogs must be current on shots and show no symptoms of infection or intestinal issues. Charlie, my last dog was a dachshund, she was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.

“Gretchen took in our Xena for daycare at the last minute - for which we were very grateful! She and her husband were great - very communicative and kind. Xena was in good hands and had a good time with their dogs. Highly recommend!”

About: Welcome Welcome! I am also the business owner of 360 Care & Handling LLC! 🥳 For the the first part of August, I am offering introductory pricing for NEW clients! Pricing will go back to the normal rate on 8/15. I specialize in cats, but also care for dogs! I recently had a peer-reviewed article published in the IAABC Foundation Journal, so be sure to check that out! A few quick notes: my drop-in and house-sitting radius are two different numbers, however Rover will only allow providers to set one number for all services. I will ask for your general location to confirm that I can safely provide the service you are requesting, Rover does not share your address until both parties have confirmed a booking. I have been engaging in animal care and husbandry in varying capacities and roles for years. I have experience caring for sick animals and specialize in comfort during care, animal quarantine protocols, and Fear Free/Low-Stress handling. I prefer to take a comprehensive approach to care, and make sure that anything I bring to your booking for your pets is preapproved by you! I carry my own insurance policy, separate from the Rover guarantee, and can provide proof of policy upon request. I currently work a full-time job in tech and work from 9am-5pm. I am unable to take client calls during that time unless there is an emergency. I will respond to texts as quickly as possible. For my house-sitting clients, I do require that there be internet in your home and access be granted to me so that I can spend most of the day with your pets, and not need to relocate during business hours. House-sitting clients should also expect that I will need to leave at least once a day to go take care of my own cats and any drop-ins that I have scheduled. Typically the average I have in a day is 3, but during the holiday season that number is higher. Thankfully, my schedule is fairly flexible with enough notice! I can typically pencil in drop-in appointments wherever needed, and for house sitting I am able to accommodate most requests. I am unable to offer constant care at this time due to my own pets' medical needs, and this is non-negotiable. I’m safety conscious, especially when it comes to medical needs! My shoes are sprayed with Lysol between client homes, and I carry hibiclense, a surgical soap, to use in between homes as well! If I suspect an animal is ill or injured, their owner will be notified ASAP, and I will change clothes prior to my next appointment! I take kennel cough, FIV/FELV, and parvo very seriously. If you would like for me to wear a mask while in your home, you just have to ask! I am vaccinated for the flu, covid, and have an up-to-date tetanus shot. All drop-in clients receive Rover cards with photos and written updates regarding their pet's care. Housesitting clients will typically receive one AM and one PM text every day, detailing how their pets are doing. Client privacy is also at the forefront of my mind-- I only post photos of pets with permission, I blur out ID tags, and scan the backgrounds of photos to ensure that there are no identifying features. Photos are geo-tagged with the county/state, but nothing closer than that, and permission to post can be revoked at any time for any reason. I do not disclose where I am sitting or for whom. If someone asks about it, I typically state that I am a friend of the family helping them out. My Instagram username is 360careandhandling.
