“Kylie was fabulous. We left her with our cat who already wasn’t feeling well and ended up getting worse. She was so great communicating and getting our baby to the vet. Wouldn’t hesitate booking her again.”

“Sarah is a wonderful sitter! Booked her for two drop-ins with walks and my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is a little older and requires medication and she was very gentle getting her to take it. She’s very communicative throughout. Absolutely recommend Sarah!”

“Kelli always goes above and beyond in taking care of my little guy. She provides the best communication and updates and is very thorough in all she does. Endlessly grateful for her and can’t recommend booking with her enough! 😊”

“Like most people I was a little weary using this app, having a stranger come over to your house. My dog Kacey really took to Tina right away. Tina has been doing drop in visits 3 times a week for a couple of weeks now and has been great! She is consistent with her times and I feel very comfortable having her in my home. I Highly recommend Tina for your furry loved ones.”

“Chandra provided excellent services to our pets and our families needs . She went above and beyond and we are so very grateful, excellent communication and care . We highly recommend Chandra , thank you , thank you ,thank you”

“We were so relaxed on our trip knowing Hannah was taking good care of our cats. My cats miss her already. Thank you so much Hannah, we’re planning our next trip already.”

“Johanna is my go-to and I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. They're easily the most trustworthy sitter I've ever had. They follows my cat's care instructions closely and does a fantastic job at providing detailed updates and lots of photos as well, so I can rest assured he's in good hands. Most importantly, Oscar adores her!”

“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”

“Kaci is amazing she followed our suggestions and directions perfectly, and even our super skittish spicy cat seemed to stay near her and let her pet her! Loved seeing the card afterwards with the photos, our kitties looked so relaxed around her. Really put us at ease while we were away!”

“Samantha did a great job dropping in on our two cats. I was able to enjoy my trip so much better knowing the cats were in good hands. She sent tons of photos every day and spent quality time playing with them.”

“Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!”
“Zash is amazing! We just finished an 8 day trip and we have an 18 year old medically high-needs cat and a kitten. We were incredibly anxious leaving them because their care is complex and our 18 years old’s health is so fragile. Zash went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and we were actually able to relax and enjoy the trip. She was prompt, thorough, caring, and 100% reliable. We have hesitated to travel in the past but now with Zash we are ready for our next trip! You will not regret leaving your babies in her care. Thank you, Zash!”
“This was my first time using Rover and could not have chosen a better pair to take care of my boys. Lauren and Dalton were amazing! Very easy to communicate with and extremely punctual. Highly recommend!”

“Lizzy was great with our dogs and kept us updated the whole trip with photos and messages letting us know how they were doing! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future”


About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I've helped rescue nine cats and raised seven from kittens to adulthood, which has given me extensive experience with feline care and behavior. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building a bond with them through play, attention, and consistent care. In addition to cats, I regularly help care for my family's dog through walks, playtime, and daily care. I also have experience raising and caring for ducks, which has taught me the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each animal's needs. While cats are where most of my experience lies, I'm excited to work with dogs and other animals as well. I'm reliable, attentive to detailed care instructions, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same patience and attention I give my own animals. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'll have almost unlimited free time to play and care for your pets! I also don't mind weird hours, day or night. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any other care requirements provided by the owner. I like to be extra attentive and keep a close eye on pets because their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while you're away, helping them feel happy and secure in their familiar environment.
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic with our two girls! They immediate took a liking to him when they first met and by the time we go back from our trip both the girls were more calm and well behaved than when we left. Matthew also sent us pictures of our girls every day so we wouldn't miss them as much. Thank you, Matthew!”

“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”

“Yvonne was nothing but wonderful! She exceeded all expectations I had, and went above and beyond with my pups all while showing the utmost respect for myself and my home. Clear and effective communication, would recommended her to anyone and plan on using her services again in the future :)”


“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”
“Jed was very professional and helpful with our pups. He kept us updated on the status of them when he went over to let them out. Thank you so much for the help.”
Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. She took such great care of our cat Lily. She kept us informed every day while we were out of town with updates and pictures for every drop-in. She really put me at ease, knowing our cat was well loved while we were gone. She is very kind and trustworthy and I would definitely have her back again!

This is my second time booking with Matthew for a 5 day trip, and I’m equally as thrilled with his service as the first time. My dog absolutely loves him, and I really appreciate his daily photos and quick recap. He even alerted me to a potential hazard and resolved it right away. I know my dog will be safe, entertained, and loved on when he drops in!

Fantastic drop-in sitter! Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We appreciated the time she took to meet with us and our pet, so that she could get to know a little about him. Our pet was happy and relaxed when we returned. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! 🐾

Sophie was professional and able to adjust her schedule to accommodate a last minute complex request of feeding my Brothers dogs, while he was in the Hospital. Sophie followed the unique instructions exactly and sent pictures to confirm.. Sophie was also easy to communicate with, highly recommended her for your pet needs..
