“Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).”

About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past two years and personally potty trained her, taught her tricks, and trained her to be comfortable and well-behaved around people. I also worked in child care for two years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with attention and love. I treat every dog with the same care and protection I would give a one-year-old baby, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. I’m flexible during those times and happy to work with your pet’s routine. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision.
“Jennifer is wonderful! Our sweet Lola gets a little stressed anytime we leave her somewhere, but I can tell that she much prefers when I leave her with Jennifer and comes home much less stressed. Our pup ate an entire corn cob a few days before her stay, and she was wonderful about keeping an eye on her potty breaks and eating, providing regular updates. We'll be booking again!”

“We were very happy with Dylan and his care for our dog. He thought of everything and gave us peace of mind. He sent plenty of updates and photos. We will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend!”

“Kim was AMAZING! She took care of our dog Peppers in her home for several days and sent daily pictures and updates, which we SO appreciated! She was also very flexible and accommodating with our schedule as we were traveling. Our dog enjoyed playing with her dog and seemed to have a very fun time with personal attention while he was there. He came home very happy and tired! When my husband picked up our dog she had packed his things nicely and even gave us a treat bag and card. We are so thankful to have found her and look forward to booking with her again!”

About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.
About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”

“Stefanie was wonderful with my two dogs! She made them part of her family and gave them lots of love and cuddles. She sent me updates and pictures throughout their stay. I will definitely book with Stefanie again!”

“Been coming here with my dog ever since she was a puppy- and she loves it and has a fantastic time every time! They’re fantastic at updating me with photos and telling me about my dog’s day, and flexible and easy to connect with. My go to sitters!”

“Ashleigh was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”

“Emily and her family are so sweet! She wanted the dogs to get acquainted with her before the stay, but I didn't have the time. Still, I appreciated the gesture. She was also very open to my schedule and was willing to watch my dogs at a very early time. She frequently gave me updates and photos which was a bonus. Would definitely come back to have her watch over Haru and Kobi again! ? A++++ experience.”

“Cynthia and her daughter took great care of my pup while I was away for a week. They sent me updates on her behavior and included great photos of my dog having a blast making new friends.”

“Selena is an amazing sitter. She loved our dogs like they were her own. I was impressed with how she handled the tough stuff: the accidents, separation anxiety, hesitancy of the dogs. We got numerous updates - it felt like we never left them. We will use her services in the future!”

“By far the best experience our Brodie has every had outside of our home. Aliyah was family to him as soon as I dropped him off. She even went the extra mile to send us home with a gift bag.”

Springfield pet 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.
