“This was our first time using Rover and Andy was our sitter. We were very pleased with the level of care that Andy gave our two girls. During Andy's visits she provided updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend Andy and will call on her again for our sitting needs.”
“Jack is amazing!! He was able to accommodate multiple visits in a day for my puppy on a short notice. He is very communicative, left detailed reviews for each visit with multiple adorable pics. He provided care that was above and beyond. I knew my puppy was in good hands I highly recommend!!!”
“Haylea is amazing! She’s very professional and has great communication. She took great care of my cat while I was away and provided great pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Abey has been so good with our animals. It is great to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands when we are not able to be around. She has even won over our very timid cat. She communicates well and has been flexible when we need. The photos and visit summary at the end of each visit make my day!”
“Alyssa took really great care of our two dogs in our house. We were out of town for the weekend. She is a great communicator, showed up exactly when she said she would and always left us feedback on the visit and photos. She is super fast responding to messages. Our dogs really love her and she took great care of them. My beagle has two medications he takes twice and day and I felt very confident leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond with our fur babies and we will definitely be booking her for the future. She is attentive and responsible. This is the first time we have used Rover and we feel lucky to have found Alyssa!”

Rianna M.
“I've known Rianna for years now. She has been responsible for both my children (human and K9 alike) multiple times. She recently took on the task of house and dog sitting while we were gone and she excelled in this roll as well. She takes our boy for daily walks, sometimes more than once, she's affectionate, kind, and responsible. Rianna is smart, reliable and awesome with animals. Our Crashy is a picky boy when it comes to humans and Rianna gets his best wiggle butts and dances when she shows up to care for him! I would, and do hire Rianna over and over again!”

Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend Heather for your pet sitting needs! Heather is friendly, reliable, and my dogs loved her immediately. My older dog is super particular about who he likes and it took no time for him to figure out he liked Heather. My 3 pups were well taken care of while I was away. Heather checked in regularly and sent lots of photos showing how happy my dogs were. I had not one ounce of worry with Heather caring for my crew. I will definitely contact Heather again for dog sitting!
