“Maxwell and I met with Lori and her husband before his stay with them. He quickly made himself at home and took a liking to them. I had no worries leaving Maxwell in their care as they are great parents to 2 dogs. I would definitely rebook with them.”
“Maxwell had a blast with Emily’s girls. He was pooped out both days during his stay with her. Emily let me know how Maxwell was doing throughout the day with texts, pictures, and videos. Will definitely consider Emily again in the future.”

About: Dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I’m not just a sitter; I’m a genuine animal lover who understands how important your pup is to you. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, giving each the patience, love, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. My own dog, Dottie, is a gentle, social butterfly who loves making new furry friends. She’s well-traveled, kid-friendly, and has even been a source of comfort for people in my corporate office. If your pup loves companionship, they’ll have a ready-made best friend waiting here. I work 100% from home, which means your pet will never be left feeling lonely. I have the flexibility to give them plenty of attention throughout the day — walks, backyard playtime, cuddle breaks, or quiet time if that’s their speed. Daily care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s a natural and joyful part of my routine. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My half-acre backyard is fully fenced with a spacious patio and a covered area for shade, perfect for supervised play or lounging. Inside, your dog will be welcomed like family — cozy, cared for, and never crated unless that’s part of their routine. I get to know each dog’s personality and needs so I can mirror their home life as much as possible. I keep things consistent, calm, and full of love. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication every step of the way.
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dogs for daycare - and Allen and Jenna made it a great experience! They have the perfect space for dogs to run and play. We will happily use them again.”

“Our dog loved spending time with Larissa and her family. We were so glad she got to enjoy time with kids and other dogs. It would have been great if there was a fenced outdoor area in the home but it’s not that big of a deal. We will 100% have Larissa care for our pup again soon!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Springfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
