Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dermott
“I don’t know what we would do without Karen & Delbert. They are Brandon’s second parents! He gets so excited when we ask him if he wants to go see Karen, Delbert & Bairn. Do not hesitate to give them a call to care for your pet(s). They are absolutely the best of the best!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our babies while we were out of town. We’ll definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone with small dogs. Our pups were treated with so much love and kindness. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands while we traveled.”
“Raquel is the absolute best. She welcomed us with open arms. We did a meet and greet before booking and I knew then she'd be great for my baby. She's so sweet and professional. Her love for dogs are amazing along with her wonderful daughter. I'm happy I found Raquel. Thanks for everything.”
“Jennifer was awesome. She responded to my request immediately, had great reviews and two awesome Aussie Shepherds that Mika immediately became BFFs with. She sent me pictures and stayed in touch during my trip. Will definitely use her again when I'm in Springfield.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.
“Nella is fantastic! She took excellent care of Jax who is a 45 pound energetic lap dog and can be a lot to handle. She kept in great communication with me and is very kind and great to work with.”
“Kaitlin took such good care of our little old lady Bisou. We were extra worried because she is so old and on meds, but Kaitlin took gentle care of her and sent us pictures every day and let us know how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
“I was pleased with Leroy's stay. I loved the photos Gretchen sent to keep him in touch with us while he was at "camp" as my husband loving represented his stay. We would happily use Gretchen again.”
About: We have taken care of dogs most of our life. We’ve also became experts with senior dog care since ours has reached that stage. One is a diabetic so we understand the importance of medicine and a schedule. If your dog requires extra care, just let us know and we’ll make sure their given everything they need. Currently, we can offer service whenever you need it. We’ll be home all day to make sure your doggie gets all the attention they need to make their time away from you less stressful. We have a fenced in backyard to keep your fur baby safe, along with three other dogs to keep them company. If needed, we do have a crate that your dog can utilize while here.
“Our super high separation anxiety diva lab was so happy when we picked her up and we got plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. She went on walks, was fed and had the cutest play mate while being taken care of by Tyler. Definitely recommend”
“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!!”
“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”
“Gerrad was very accommodating for our girl Stella! He was quick to respond when I sent messages and also checked in several times a day with pictures! We would feel comfortable sending Stella back to him anytime. She was very loved while staying there!”
About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.
“Nancy and Kevin not enough good things can be said about you two. Bruno had the time of his life and its thanks to you guys. There were so many pictures and videos that I never had to worry and it was so much fun seeing how happy he was. THANK YOU so much for everything and Bruno will be back!!”
“My dogs received the best care from Sabrina. She communicated often and shared fun photos and videos. They loved playing with her dog Dottie and were well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone needing a loving dog sitter.”
“Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).”
“I could not have asked for a better person to leave Angel with. Linda is very kind and very good with animals. She took excellent care of Angel. She kept me updated. I will always use Linda in the future.”

About: I'm excited to be watching dogs again! I also watch entire farms, and many different types of animals.. just ask. Until I get a steady amount of pups per month, I do work outside the home M-F. My home is a TinyHome (12x40 shed conversion) =480 sq ft of play space, and a big yard (now fenced!) and a local park nearby. I've been pet sitting since I was 10. I LOVE dogs! I can administer medication both oral and with a shot under the skin. I ask that the dogs that I sit to be house/potty trained, unless it's a puppy younger than 6 months, and we've chatted about the pups needs. They also need to be able to put a leash on them, without any agression. Snappy or biting dogs aren't a good fit for me or my own dogs. >> I want your pet to be as relaxed and happy as I can make them.

“We were so so nervous to leave our cats with someone other than family, but with our oldest cat being diagnosed with diabetes, we knew we wanted to trust a professional.

“If you need a pet sitter and you are in Markie's travel area, don't hesitate to enlist her. Markie is very conscientious and caring. My cats are shy and leery of strangers.

I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did.

“First time ever leaving my fur babies with a stranger, and I am happy I chose the right person to do so. Courtney and her kids were incredibly helpful and took great care of my 10-year-old Boxer and 13-year-old Plott Hound. They made sure both dogs felt comfortable and at ease. Their home was clean and welcoming, and the kids and toys kept my dogs happy and entertained the whole time. Definitely would go back to Courtney if I am in town again!”
“Great with our two dogs! Extremely patient and kind with our very vocal husky mix, and skittish collie. There is plenty of room for dogs to feel safe in their own areas. Will be using again for sitting needs.”
“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: im flexible, reliable, and can do quick notice. i just wanna give our dogs the back yard that they deserve. let me love on yours too. i also offer car rides, for fur babies that love air in their face, while they hang their head out the window! i live for my dogs. they are deservedly spoiled and they actually eat better than i do.my MIL(84) loves to give snuggles and love also i have a fenced backyard and 2 friendly fur babies (a shitzhu and poodle mix) both are 20 pounds and they love to have playdates
“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.”
“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! ❤️”
About: My 14 year old dachshund passed away last spring. I was unsure of jumping right back in so we fostered. Charlie, my dachshund was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! I do not want the responsibility of more than one dog as an owner but Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I always need an appointment prior, it’s hard to say yes in a last minute booking unless I have had the dog prior. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. Honestly I have never been a dog sitter to anyone professionally. It's always been a family and friends deal for free or trade. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.
“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!”
“Amanda was great. Mason had a great time and was very happy and playful when we picked up. We needed her on VERY short notice due to a family member being in hospital, and she was very accommodating!!! Will definitely us again if needed!!!!”

About: I have taken care of every type of animal since I was 16 years old. I have gone to school for animal science as well to currently working on my degree as a veterinary technician and animal nutritionist. From puppies to geriatric dogs. To newborn kittens and senior cats. I can also take care of any reptiles or amphibians. Anything you need of me, I can do, including rodents. Distributing medication or even helping your dog do their daily exercise. I have knowledge and experience with previously working at the Emergency Veterinary Clinic. * Hi! Thank you for your interest in having me watch your loved ones while you plan to be away. In order to provide you with the most accurate information, please be sure to have the following before confirmation: - please make sure you have all information rover needs about your pet filled out. - Include all animals (even exotic) and feeding instructions for everyone. - Any medications or medical needs while you plan to be away. (Seizure, diabetic, etc). - Anything special that I may need to know. In order to maintain better scheduling, please note I plan to do a meet and greet up to two weeks in advance.* Please keep in mind while housesitting, I do have occasional drop in visits for other clients and try not to be gone for more than 4 hours at a time. If you are needing me to mainly stay in your home, I do charge extra. I am available anytime you need me! I have my own routine for my animals. Pet care is my priority, always. Whether its mine or yours. My animals have routine and structure. I also have a fenced in back yard. Everyone knows how the routine works as far as time outside to play, cuddle, and the feeding schedule.

I have 2 doggos and a one year old, we are a very pet friendly home :) My dogs are good with other dogs as well and my daughter loves dogs!! Me and my husband have a pretty good schedule so someone is usually always here with our pets.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great with all personalities! from energetic puppies to chill senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures so you never feel far from your pet!

I’m able to adjust my hours to make time for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pets, ensuring they get the attention and care they need.

“Mallori did a wonderful job looking after my Minnie girl today while we traveled to spend Thanksgiving with family! My senior dog is usually anxious and fussy when we all return from being gone, but this evening she is calm and happy. I will definitely be utilizing Mallori's services in the future!”
About: I have taken care of many kinds of pets ever since I was 10 years old. I have experience giving baths, giving medication, leash walking, post surgery care and scheduled feeding times. I am currently working full time but have free time on the weekends to stop in or take your precious fur babies on a walk. I have a small fenced in area for potty breaks and am comfortable crating your pet if needed. I have two dogs of my own that are very friendly and can keep your babies company as well.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two australian shepherds. I’ve raised and cared for my dogs since they were young, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, routines, and providing a safe, loving environment. I also have experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, behaviors, and needs. I know that every pet is different, and I treat each one like a member of my family. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. As a stay-at-home dog mom, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I’m used to caring for my own dogs, adding your pet to my routine feels natural, and I’ll make sure they receive the same level of care and attention I give my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or providing walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, and I’ll always treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!
About: I've taken care of my Chihuahua for 17 years. I also took dog training for a while. I'm super caring and love all animals. I will gladly watch your pet!

“I don’t know what we would do without Karen & Delbert. They are Brandon’s second parents! He gets so excited when we ask him if he wants to go see Karen, Delbert & Bairn. Do not hesitate to give them a call to care for your pet(s). They are absolutely the best of the best!”
“Jennifer was awesome. She responded to my request immediately, had great reviews and two awesome Aussie Shepherds that Mika immediately became BFFs with. She sent me pictures and stayed in touch during my trip. Will definitely use her again when I'm in Springfield.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.
“Nella is fantastic! She took excellent care of Jax who is a 45 pound energetic lap dog and can be a lot to handle. She kept in great communication with me and is very kind and great to work with.”
“Kaitlin took such good care of our little old lady Bisou. We were extra worried because she is so old and on meds, but Kaitlin took gentle care of her and sent us pictures every day and let us know how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Our super high separation anxiety diva lab was so happy when we picked her up and we got plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. She went on walks, was fed and had the cutest play mate while being taken care of by Tyler. Definitely recommend”
“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!!”
“Molly and her sweet daughter were wonderful with our corgis while they stayed with them for a week. We were at first a bit hesitant to leave them with someone we did not know since it was our first time. However, our dogs immediately warmed up to them upon meeting for the first time prior to booking. Molly communicated well and provided us with updates or any concerns or questions she had. We received cute photos of them playing in the yard and going for a pup cup. Our dogs appeared happy and well cared for upon pick up. We'd happily have Molly care for them again.”
“Gerrad was very accommodating for our girl Stella! He was quick to respond when I sent messages and also checked in several times a day with pictures! We would feel comfortable sending Stella back to him anytime. She was very loved while staying there!”
“Nancy and Kevin not enough good things can be said about you two. Bruno had the time of his life and its thanks to you guys. There were so many pictures and videos that I never had to worry and it was so much fun seeing how happy he was. THANK YOU so much for everything and Bruno will be back!!”
“My dogs received the best care from Sabrina. She communicated often and shared fun photos and videos. They loved playing with her dog Dottie and were well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone needing a loving dog sitter.”
“Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).”
“Markie tried so hard to make Sadie comfortable. However, Sadie just isn't herself when she's not with us, her owners. She's very timid around people she does not know. Markie followed all my instructions and was very good to Sadie, walking her and allowing her some space. Markie was very good at keeping in touch and sending pictures I recommend her services!”
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.
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.
“Sydney and her husband took excellent care of my dog. It was our first time using Rover and they provided reassurance through pictures and nightly updates. My dog is very particular and requires daily medications and they handled everything very well. Definitely recommend Sydney for anyone looking for care for their animals.”
“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.”
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.
About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.
