“It is so nice to be able to leave Major (7 month old pup) in a safe place knowing that he is happy, running and playing with the other dogs. While also learning to be around small children. Mickayla is wonderful and incredibly kind and gracious.”


“Charles & Sami were great taking of Bison last minute when another sitter fell through. He was well taken care of and they were even able to pick him up and drop him off. Will definitely choose them again!”


“Our dogs were loved and well cared for over our weekend getaway! This was our dogs’ first stay and they gave us updates to let us know they were both settling in well. Will definitely be booking with Aaron and Jennifer again in the future!”


“During a stressful family emergency I needed a sitter on short notice. Ashley was very responsive and flexible. She provided great care and love for my 2 large dogs, sent pictures and let me know how they were doing during the week long stay. I would definitely recommend Ashley and board with her again!”


“We just picked our dogs up this morning from a 3 night stay with Austin. He sent updates and pictures daily, was quick to respond and the dogs both looked relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We are very happy with the service and feel comfortable with our 10 day booking coming up with him while we go on vacation later this summer. 10/10. Excellent first experience with using a Rover sitter.”


“Shelby took incredible care of Penelope. This is her 3rd visit and she always comes home happy (and pretty much unbothered LOL, she stays right on schedule). Shelby sends cute picture updates and made a last minute accommodation for us when our flight was cancelled into Springfield. Highly recommend!!!”


About: I have had the privilege of growing up with dogs throughout my life, sharing my childhood with seven beloved furry companions. Currently, my husband and I are the proud parents to a two-year-old Rottweiler named Clover and a six-year-old Rottweiler Elza, who are loving, energetic, and intelligent dogs. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs, not only as a pet owner but also by looking after the dogs of our extended families and friends, including watching, house-sitting, and taking dogs on walks when needed. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and a genuine passion for their well-being, I am excited to offer my services to care for your fur babies. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Pet care is a seamless part of my daily routine. I work from home and manage a few side projects and hobbies, which allows me the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood, or just keeping them company while I work, I’m able to stay present and responsive to their needs. I’m also flexible during the day for drop-in visits, making it easy to provide care on a schedule that works best for you and your pet. In our home, we offer both crates and a fenced-in backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet—whether they prefer being indoors or outside. We have two friendly dogs of our own: Clover, a playful two-year-old, and Elza, a gentle six-year-old. They both love the company of other dogs and are always excited to meet new friends. At night, Clover and Elza like to stay out and cuddle, so if your dog enjoys cozy companionship, they’ll feel right at home. That said, if your pup prefers the comfort of a crate, we’re more than happy to make sure they’re settled in and sleeping peacefully.

About: Hello! My name is Brooke and I have a precious English Springer Spaniel and had a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog. I am a big dog lover and take my dog everywhere she can go with me! We love to hike, go biking, chase squirrels and the next door neighbors dog! I love spending time with animals, period, whether it’s playing with them or just taking them on a much needed walk! I also have some grooming experience, though completely self taught. I used to take care of my puppers hair from baths to hair cuts. I am not a professional groomer, but when it comes to baths I am not at worried about getting a little wet and soapy! I also have house sat/pet sat for various families over the years and am extremely flexible with whatever families need. I have house sat/puppy sat from just a couple nights to several months at a time. I offer services of walking, in-home visits, over-night stays and quite frankly am flexible with any other situations that may come up! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work full time and even though I love puppies, would prefer to watch dogs that have a well established routine and can be ok for sometime alone before I can come and walk them and play with them. This is part of my personal routine with my own puppy. At this time I do not have a fenced in yard at my own home, so talking my dog for a long walk on the trails near my house is a must! For families where I am watching not only their animal but their home, I like to work within their animals normal routine so as not to add any more stress to the owners or the animal.

“My boy had a great time with Tracy and her pups!!! After I had a bad experience with a local pet hotel, I felt that my boy needed more personal care. Tracy was attentive and caring, her pups well behaved and friendly and her home dog friendly. I had no hesitation leaving my boy with her and she kept me updated throughout his stay. I will definitely use her services again!!! Thank you so much Tracy!!!”


“Michael and Jackie were immediately so kind and loving with our babes. I had no worry in the world leaving them in their home for the weekend. Jackie sent pictures and even let our babes sleep in bed with her just as they do at home. Thank you so much! I’d rebook in a heartbeat?”


“We booked Addy last minute after another sitter canceled and she was amazing. I really appreciated how quickly she responded, and she proactively sent pics and updates on our little guy throughout the stay! I could tell he was happy and cared for when we picked him up.”


“Jill is THE BEST! She kept our two cats for 13 days while we waited for our new home to close. She might have spoiled our cats and loved them even more than we do! She sent the sweetest pictures every day and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so well. I highly recommend her and will use her again!”

“Brittany was wonderful and took good care of my little dog, Nemo. She shared photos and kept me updated throughout the week on how he was doing. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a great dogsitter in the area.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have a rescue dog now and previously cared for my senior dog, who was diabetic with hip issues for over 5 years. I’m confident handling shy rescues, seniors, and pups who need special attention or medication. I’m currently job hunting, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding in my home most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I don’t offer in-home stays, but I’ll make sure your pup gets the same love and care they’d get at home. I currently have one friendly dog and one calm, well-behaved cat who are both used to being around other pets. My home is safe, pet-friendly, and I’m always watching to make sure everyone is comfortable. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I’ll follow any routines or instructions to help them feel right at home. I’ll be moving soon to a home with a fully fenced yard for even more space to play!

“This was a terrific experience with Mackenzie and her family. She was prompt to communicate and responsive. My GSD is very large, and can be intimidating. When I picked him up, he was happy and clearly had a good time with Mackenzie, her family and their fur babies.”


“Debbie and her family are lovely and caring. They took care of our dog for four days, kept us updated with lots of pictures and was even able to help with medication (which was an unexpected last minute change). We will definitely reach out to them next time.”
