Cat Sitting Springfield

“Vanessa was great! Timely, good communication, and our pup loved her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. As a kid I was never able to have pets, so as an adult I’ve always had multiple dogs. I love dogs and enjoy their personalities and fun loving nature. Weekends and holidays are spent at home with the family, and the four-legged family members get plenty of playtime! During the week, I work full-time. Our dogs are kennel-trained and enjoy their downtime during the day. Once home, they’re out and a part of all our evening activities. We have a fenced-in yard where they can run and play non-stop. Our fenced-in yard is an excellent space for our four energetic dogs to run and play. They love to play non-stop, and our kids, who are also dog lovers, enjoy playing along with them.

“Farrin is amazing! She’s reliable, consistent, and has never let us down. The dogs love her, too!”

“This booking was just for a two day drop in for my cats and I couldn’t be happier. Crystal was very communicative and flexible with her schedule. On top of all that, very kind, and I know my cats loved her. It was very good work, I’d trust her to watch my cats longer if needed. Would definitely recommend Crystal and hope I can book her again!”

About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.

About: I was raised on a farm and have cared for all sorts of animals my entire life. I now have a mature rough coat collie, Rhea. She is a very good companion for people and other pets. I worked as a Vet assistant, which included large animal surgeries. I ran the anesthesia. I rode on a Rescue Squad for 7 yrs and was a paramedic in the Military. I am very active and love spending time with pets. I am retired, very active, but I have plenty of time, energy, and love to give to your animal. I am available most any day/night. I have a large fenced-in yard. I have one very friendly fur baby to keep yours company. I have availability to crate your pets also if that is what your pet is comfortable with.

About: I love animals and now that I live in an apartment, I miss having a pet! There are plenty of dogs roaming around the building, and I say hi to every one of them. I would love to hang out with your cat or dog! I’m a 39 year old mom and preschool teacher, so caring for littles comes natural to me. I have plenty of experience both in pet sitting and in life! If this tells you anything, when I’m at a party, you can find me with the pets. Pick me to check on your fur babies! I am a stay at home parent with an in-home preschool. The preschool is open Tuesday-Friday mornings, and my kid has childcare Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so those afternoons are free for me. Pets tend to love me and I’m patient with those animals that are shy. I am very excited to hang out with some cats and dogs in my free time!

“Did a good job taking care of the pets. A couple of hiccups but stayed in communication well. Snow storm hit at the end of the week and offered extra help just in case. Much appreciated!”

“Jenny made my Rover experience wonderful and easy. We had great communication from the very start. I felt confident leaving my cat with her!!”

Kim M.

“Danette took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days over 4th of July weekend! He was well fed and well loved, and I could tell he was very content despite my being away. I would definitely recommend her, and will look to her again if I need care for him in the future.”

Kayla R.

“Was very prompt with her communication and attentive to our pets needs. Gave updates for each stay with pictures and went above and beyond with her service.”

Sean H.

“He did amazing with our pups. We have 4 of them and was worried about having someone watch them as this was our first rover experience. We were so happy with the results. We have cameras in our home so we could see everything and he was so good with our dogs. One of them even got sick and he cleaned it up with out hesitation. Thank you!”

Peter K.

“Ashley was great and I so appreciate her! I asked very last minute for her to watch my dogs and then even added on more time while I was away and she was happy to help me with whatever! She completely saved my bum so I could visit family and the dogs loved her!!”

About: I have my own reactive dog I’ve learned so much about. In the 8 years we’ve had him, we have been able to watch his growth, and my own, as we’ve learned what his needs are. I have successfully brought a puppy into our home and trained him alongside our older, reactive dog. I understand the need for love and patience. I am a teacher in the Papillion district and would love to be involved in the community. I love animals, being outside, and creating relationships with new people. I am open during the summer and nights and weekend when school starts back up! I am experienced with my own reactive dog. I have learned so much about walking, crate training, and overall daily mental health stimulation for him. I understand the balance of love and support for animals who need extra care and attention.

“I had really enjoyed having Sierra watching my cats while I was gone. I will definitely use her again and refer to people. I know taking care of our pets is like having someone babysit our kids that you trust and believing they are being care for.”

Julie S.

“Jaedy did a great job with my 3 cats, including one that needs insulin shots daily. I highly recommend her!”

Sue S.

“Emma did a great job taking care of my two kitties, very reliable & always keeping me updated and sending pictures! I definitely felt comfortable leaving them in her care. I’d definitely book with her again!”

Lucas A.

“Celeste was awesome! She was so good with our dog and communication was great while we were away. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”

Ashley A.

“Linda the pet sitter did a fantastic job! She took the time to really get to know each of our three dogs—their unique personalities and quirks. It was clear they felt comfortable and well-cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
