“Mallory was top notch with our Senior dog- Samson. She helped out with his care during a difficult situation. I had never used a dog sitter or app such as this. Mallory assisted me with both & put me at ease with Sammy’s care. She provided us with pictures & updates through out the day. We even received a video of Samson playing with the other dogs. I can never be appreciative enough of the care/love/understanding she & her family gave to our old buddy & offering such great service. Thank you again!! 🐶🙂🩷”
“Ashley was just absolutely amazing! If I could give her 10 stars, I 100% would! She really went above and beyond taking care of our girl! We really enjoyed the consistent check-ins and pictures and appreciate the extra time she took to let us know how Harley was doing while we were away! I was so thrilled that she actually seemed to take the time to get to know our fur baby and treated her like one of her own! This was our first time boarding Harley, but Ashley made it so smooth and stress-free! Would definitely recommend and will be booking with her again in the future!”

“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“Olivia was the most welcoming boarder! My dog even had a hard time saying bye to her. She provided photos and messages on a semi daily basis and was available for any inquiries I had. I will definitely book Olivia for our next boarding need.”

“Janie was an amazing dog sitter! Professional and very caring… Attentive to details… Our two puppies were in good hands. We were able to rest easy on our trip. Janie updated us with cute photos of the puppies as they enjoyed their visit with her and her own puppy hostess Maui. When we picked them up it was clear our puppies have been well cared for and loved. We would highly recommend Janie to every pet owner!”
“Nella is a very good 'Caregiver' & welcomed my dog/Bella w/open arms. Bella loved playing w/Her dog & running around endlessly outside. Nellas' property is in a rural community just N of Springfield proper & appeared to be relaxing when dropping Bella off. Nella was attentive & gave me regular text updates re: eating habits & activity level during Bellas' stay. I appreciated that & was able to enjoy my Trip bc of Her open communication. I will definitely contact Nella in the future, when I go out of town/state ~”
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER! Kaitlyn as well as her whole family was extremely loving and kind towards our dog. We had to leave for several days…and she was so thoughtful…..sending updates and pictures every day! Not once did I worry about his care. Hands down….the best there is! So glad we found this family to care for Festus when we leave town. ❤️??”

Cat caregivers near you - Boaz
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I understand the importance of patience, gentle attention, and creating a calm environment where cats feel safe and relaxed. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their routine, I make sure they receive loving, attentive care while you’re away.
About: In addition to dogs, I also provide attentive and gentle care for cats. I understand that cats have their own unique personalities and preferences, and I respect their space while building trust at their pace. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm, consistent presence, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free. I also keep litter boxes clean, follow feeding routines closely, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Paige was awesome with our three cats! Loved seeing update pictures, went the extra mile changing our litter genie! All meds were handled well, definitely will work with her again!”
“Kyle is the perfect match for my Cane Corso. She’s a strong guardian breed and Kyle was knowledgeable throughout the process of meeting her to ensure a safe interaction. He is patient and kind. She looooooves him. I appreciate his thoroughness in ensuring her needs are met, Makes this dog mom’s heart smile to know she has a good caregiver.”
About: My experience comes from helping others with house sitting and drop ins. I can assist with daily feeding(s), overnight care, and play time. I love animals and I will make sure they’re comfortable and cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Olivia! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve shared my home with both large breeds like Labradors and smaller pups like Miniature Schnauzers, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve potty trained my own dogs and taught them fun commands like sit, stay, shake, roll over, and even play dead. When I’m not working as a teacher, I love spending my free time walking, playing with, and caring for dogs-it’s both relaxing and rewarding. Whether you need someone to give your pup extra love and attention, keep up with their routine, or just get them out for a good walk, I’d be happy to help. I am open to caring for other animals such as cats and fish. I have cared for both in the past for friends and family. I treat every pet like my own and want you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions-I’d love to meet you and your beloved friend! I am currently working full time as a special education teacher. I am able to care for your animals before and after teaching. I am also able to help on weekends. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine and house rules while giving them the same love and attention they’re used to.
“I love the pictures and timely visits to my cats while away for christmas. She made sure they were fed and had clean water and took time to play with them even for a few minutes. This was beyond what we expected. I will hire her again if she is available when we go out of town again.”
“We are absolutely thrilled with the care Meredith gave to our Archie while we were gone. We loved that she actually sat in the floor and played with him everyday. She’s wonderful! ??”
“Katelyn did a great job! Our kitty has diabetes and needs pills and she was able to take care of her without any issue even when she got a little spicy with taking her pill, and sent me pics of her and her insulin dose which was so helpful! 100% recommend her to take care of any kitty and would book with her again any time we need a great sitter 🥰”
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to create a safe and trusting environment.
“Breelyn does a great job with my cat. This is my 5th or so time having her do drop in visits! She responded to my fairly last minute request and helped with some packages I received while out!”
“Haley did a wonderful job taking care of our 4 kitties while we were away. She gave us peace of mind knowing that they were taken care of and all was well. We plan to book with Haley again in the future!”
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three kitties of my own, so I truly understand all the little quirks that make each cat unique, from playful zoomies to quiet, independent vibes. I have hands on experience with medication administration, post-surgical care, and even bottle feeding kittens, which has taught me a lot of patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable keeping litter boxes fresh and creating a clean, cozy, low-stress environment your cat will feel safe in. I’ve also leash-walked cats for some safe outdoor exploring, so I’m open to working with both curious adventurers and homebody snugglers. I pay so much attention to each cat’s personality; I’ll match their energy, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them their space while still making sure they feel cared for and loved.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Boaz
“Ashleigh was great with our 2 doggies! We can tell she has a very tender heart for animals. She kept us informed all during their stay and even sent pictures. We highly recommend her! Jay & Carol M”
“Brooke took wonderful care of Foster. We need a place for a few hours while we had a dog free activity. He came back sassy and happy. We will see her again when we are in the area.”
“I knew Riley would be loved because Tracy and her husband had previously had a boxer. Riley had a fantastic time and we will definitely take Riley back for daycare. Boxers truly have their own personalities. I was glad they had 2 other dogs because dog socialization is important for Riley.”
“Gretchen took in our Xena for daycare at the last minute - for which we were very grateful! She and her husband were great - very communicative and kind. Xena was in good hands and had a good time with their dogs. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs, cats, and horses from a young age. I also have experience in dog grooming, ranging from small to large dogs. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am flexible as I work from home. I normally check pets at least two times a day, but more check in times are available upon request. I have a friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. He will be very helpful in helping young dogs learn how to socialize.
“Ashley's simply the best. You know someone knows dogs well when the dogs are happy and excited to go visit her. I can't say enough about how much thought and care she puts into everything her and her family do to help others out and their fur babies.”
“Cortney was very friendly, and she took great care of our two energetic dogs! Her place is clean and she was able to care for multiple dogs very well. She communicated well and promptly returned messages and also sent multiple pictures and a video. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
About: I have always had pets (dogs mostly) and love them! I will love your babies as if they were my own! I hope you pick me! I have recently retired and am looking for something gratifying to help other Dog owners with the care of their pet! I know how stressful it can be when you have to leave your pet for any length of time and would love to relieve that stress for you! 😊 I have a fenced in yard with a senior dog, Bella. She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!
“We are from a small town in Southeast Kansas, and traveled to the Springfield/Branson area for a mini family vacation. We have 3 full sized dogs and haven’t ever had to board them anywhere before. We found out about Rover from another individuals review on another platform. We reached out to Raquel Thursday morning & she quickly responded and we dropped off our fur babies an hour later! Sh was super friendly and you could tell she has a deep love for animals, which eased our worries tremendously! She sent us videos and updates without us even having to request them! We then had a change in plans and needed care for the entire weekend she was super accommodating! We were able to enjoy our trip without worry. She kept us updated all weekend with texts, photos, and videos. Our pups had the best time and were loved on just like we would of loved on them if there were home! She is a true blessing 10/10 recommend and she will 100% be our first call for future visits to the area! ❤️”
“Sydney is great! I needed a sitter for my new puppy while I’m at work while she gets adjusted, and Sydney has been amazing. Love that my dog gets a chance to socialize with new people, visit with some cats, and get tired out and sleep through the night. Sydney has been a great communicator and very easy to get ahold of, with lots of flexibility with my schedule. Would absolutely recommend her!”

We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday.

Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.
“Bree did a great job with my two needy dogs. We were in the midst of moving and with doors open, movers in and out, and Hoodini living again in the form of a dog, it was best they be some place more peaceful and secure. The second day there were excited to be out the door and off to the car to see Bree! They sat quietly most of the day watching doggy TV, which is what they needed. The dogs obviously liked her, even our shy reluctant one. I definitely taking them to her again! She knew they needed peace and quiet and gave them that.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy place to rest to fostering bottle fed kittens that I’m just weaning.

I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I can also welcome your pets into my home while you’re gone. I do have my own dogs but my house has two separate areas that can be used. This would include as many potty and sniff breaks as they want in my fenced backyard as well as all the couch snuggles! I’m currently a stay at home mom to school aged kiddos so I have plenty of time to love on your animals! Walks loves and snuggles available! I can provide car in your home or mine! I have a fenced yard at my home and will keep them separate from my animals. I understand how to be respectful in someone else’s home and want to make everyone’s experience positive.
About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.
About: I have grown up with a variety of pets and have come to consider them all a part of the family. From Geckos to Hermits, Fish to Frogs, and Cats to Dogs, I've housed a variety and have loved them all to the core! I am particularly familiar with Medium sized dogs, but I am no stranger to the big, the bad, or the snugly. For cats, I can be a bit squeamish when it comes to litter, but that is nothing a mask or a nose clip won't fix! As a full time college student, online classes allow my schedule to be very flexible. My grades are important, but nothing motivates me more than a happy pet and a satisfied customer! As someone who understands that home is a place to escape the daily riff raff, I am willing to keep visits as quick and simple as possible or as long and engaging as preferred. A meet and greet is encouraged so I can better understand the needs of your pet and so that the pet and I can become familiar.
“Regina has saved our tails now on multiple occasions. I recently and regrettably booked with other pet sitting site for a long term sit and found out they weren't fulfilling their responsibilities to walk our dog. I was out of state and felt completely helpless. Regina stepped in when I needed her. My dog loves her and she put me completely at ease during a stressful situation. We love her and couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of my own my entire life. I also help my daughter take care of her 4 dogs and 3 cats when she travels. I especially love the senior dogs! I am currently unemployed so I am available full time to take care of your fur babies! I can do daily walks or overnight stays! I prefer to stay in your home as most pets are more comfortable when they are in a familiar environment. I will consider keeping them at my home depending on the circumstances.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience with Olivia. She went above and beyond caring for my dog and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. Communication was excellent, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with her again!”

I follow a consistent routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. In my own home, my dogs are let out in the morning, midday, and evening, along with daily walks to keep them active and engaged. They are seniors, so I’m experienced with slower paced care and administering medication on a strict schedule, including daily medication for heart disease.

About: I've always had the ability to easily connect with dogs. I've spent the past ten years walking and socializing rescue animals as a volunteer at the Humane Society. I've worked with every age range, from puppies to senior dogs in hospice care. I bring that experience with me each and every time I work with an animal, as each and every animal is unique. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. I'm currently working part-time, leaving me with plenty of time during the day to take care of both my animal, and yours. I also volunteer my free time at the Humane Society. Communication is key. I'll set up guidelines and boundaries with you ahead of time, making sure each animal has their specific needs met during the visit. Leashes will always be used on walks and doors will always be closed and locked when not in use. Do you have certain areas, rooms, or furniture that are off limits? Boundaries will be set up and respected to ensure that both your pets and home will be treated with respect.

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛
About: I am a local mental health professional and animal lover with 2 fur babies of my own- cats- but I LOVE dogs as well and grew up around them. I have taken care of my own animals and animals of friends and family since I was a child. I will love your fur babies like my own! I have a flexible schedule with shorter workdays, which allows me to be available mornings, evenings, and for frequent check-ins throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, giving me plenty of time to provide consistent attention, play, walks, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to turn my free time into something meaningful by caring for pets as if they were my own. I provide care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine and your home environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply companionship, I respect your pet’s habits and your household rules, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away
“Jodi is absolutely amazing! She is very thorough and thoughtful of my dogs needs. Even when unexpected things happen she is very accommodating. I completely trust that when she is watching my fur child, she has their best interest at heart!”

“We were very happy with Dylan and his care for our dog. He thought of everything and gave us peace of mind. He sent plenty of updates and photos. We will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend!”
“Mallory was top notch with our Senior dog- Samson. She helped out with his care during a difficult situation. I had never used a dog sitter or app such as this. Mallory assisted me with both & put me at ease with Sammy’s care. She provided us with pictures & updates through out the day. We even received a video of Samson playing with the other dogs. I can never be appreciative enough of the care/love/understanding she & her family gave to our old buddy & offering such great service. Thank you again!! 🐶🙂🩷”
“Our dog loves to come to the sitter! We highly recommended booking with Deserae. We can tell she loves the dogs and takes great care of them. I love receiving updates and pictures from her!”
“Anne watched my dog over a recent weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. My dog can be a bit timid and struggles with some separation anxiety, but Anne was wonderful with her. She kept me updated with pictures and videos showing my dog calm, comfortable, and getting along beautifully. It gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my dog with Anne again anytime.”
“You know you’ve found a great sitter when your dog runs happily up to the door and into the house! No guilt or worry for us, we know he’s in the best hands with Gerrad!”
“Nella is a very good 'Caregiver' & welcomed my dog/Bella w/open arms. Bella loved playing w/Her dog & running around endlessly outside. Nellas' property is in a rural community just N of Springfield proper & appeared to be relaxing when dropping Bella off. Nella was attentive & gave me regular text updates re: eating habits & activity level during Bellas' stay. I appreciated that & was able to enjoy my Trip bc of Her open communication. I will definitely contact Nella in the future, when I go out of town/state ~”
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER! Kaitlyn as well as her whole family was extremely loving and kind towards our dog. We had to leave for several days…and she was so thoughtful…..sending updates and pictures every day! Not once did I worry about his care. Hands down….the best there is! So glad we found this family to care for Festus when we leave town. ❤️??”
“Jennifer was very welcoming and happy to have my large dogs. She was very professional and went out of her way to make them happy and welcome while they stayed at her home. I received regular photo updates too. Previously I have kenneled my dogs and I know Jennifer treated them so much better. Will repeat business for sure. Thanks Jennifer!”
About: Walking, bathing, and hanging out with dogs is some of my favorite downtime activities. Growing up with a dog I learned all the necessary skills to watch over a dog. I even volunteered at the humane society in both the dog and cat area for four years! I am currently a teacher so I work from 7-4pm Monday through Friday, but if you need someone to walk your dog at night or house sit for the weekend or even a week night, I am your person! My husband also works from home so if you’re boarding during the week day he is also here to help out if needed. Whatever you need me to do is what I will follow. I will come to your place as my animals do not take well to strangers. But rest assured I will take great care of your animal, in whatever capacity you need. At our home we two cats that do well with other dogs but tend to ignore them, and one dog who LOVES other dogs so no worries there.
“Molly provided excellent care for our Corgi. I received pictures and notes keeping me updated. I was concerned that our pickup time might change due to airline changes and she was flexible to work with me. I very much appreciated the love she provided.”
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 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.
About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.
“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”
“Brooke took great care of our dog. She asked questions about her routine and feeding ahead of time and kept us updated while we were away. We will definitely use Brooke again in the future!”
“It was so amazing to be able to find some one so close to our home . Especially when you are leaving on a holiday week. Our 5 month old hair ball was taking care of like was part of the family . It made leaving town less stressful for us so we could enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Jennifer and your beautiful family. I hope you had and had a wonderful Thanksgiving.”
“Courtney and daughter took great care of our puppy Leia. She was with her, in her house or on walks ,virtually the entire time were out of town. She responded quickly in a somewhat of an emergency situation for us. So happy we were able to connect with Courtney. Thanks again!!”
About: My financee, Garrett, and I have cared for the wellbeing of several types of dogs since we were children. We live together, but it will primarily be me who is home with the dogs and if you need help in your home, it will always be me you will speak too. We have two fur babies together and would love to help you care for yours! I work 3 minutes from home and can usually return with in a few hours on days when I have to go to the office, which is fairly rare. I do work a 9-5, but I work hybrid remote. I have a fully privacy fenced in back yard. I let my own dogs out every 3-5 hours for the bathroom, as they are grown and do not need let out much, but I am able to accomodate any bathroom schedule necessary. I am able to keep a meds and feeding schedule as well as an exercise schedule easily with my job flexabilty. Our dogs sleep with us and eat twice a day. We keep a clean, happy home and love to let our dogs out back to run and play often! In the evenings, my fiancee and I can walk your dog or dogs with our own babies as we have multiple leashes with dual or multi-capacity.
