“Super lucky to have found a dog sitter family that loves our doggo as much as we do. You all are a blessing! The peace of mind we have every time you have cared for our Niko is priceless. Thank you for being amazing! Would book over and over again. Great people ❤️”
“Raquel was incredible with our two dogs. One of them does not typically warm up well to others but he did so good with her. She sent us videos and kept us updated on how they are doing which was so nice. I would highly recommend her.”
“Omgoodness what amazing people!! Chippy was so well taken care of!!! We are so pleased that we found you!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!!”
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 took such great care of our dog Trip! She provided frequent updates on his stay while we were gone and he came home happy and clearly well cared for. We would definitely rebook with her!”
“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. ❤️??”
“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”
“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.”
“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 :).”
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.
“Gretchen and her family did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Gretchen sent photos each day. Our dog was happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend! I will certainly be contacting Gretchen again!”
“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!!”
“If I could give more stars I would. Raelynn, thank you so much for giving me such peace of mind leaving my silly boy at your house for the weekend. I was so nervous to leave him somewhere unfamiliar. He was so well cared for, he obviously felt so comfortable from the pictures you sent and a lot of the time he can be kind of anxious when I'm away (or maybe I'm just anxious 😂). I'm so glad he had other pups to play with too. I will use you for his care when I need it from now on. Thank you so so much.”
“Linda took care of Bandit when we went out of town for the fourth and July and he had so much fun! She took such great care of him and made sure to send us lots of photos to update us. She is super welcoming, responsive, and her space is very clean. I would highly recommend booking with Linda!”
“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.”
“Another fabulous stay. We got updates and photos of Sophie, it was clear she was getting all kinds of attention and love while we were away. We appreciate that Gerrad spoils her as much as we do!”
“Dylan was great! I was very nervous leaving one of my pups as it was her first time being away from us. She did very well and Dylan sent us updates daily. My pups didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! Highly recommend Dylan for your boarding stays.”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”

“Was thrilled to be able to easily find a sitter pretty last minute for labor day weekend! If I'm in need of services in the future I'd happily book with Katie again if possible.”
“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!”
“Morgan was very sweet and took great care of my cat. She took photos and videos for us, played with her, and cuddled with her. I deeply appreciate Morgan treating our baby just like her own. Highly recommend”
About: Working with cats is something I enjoy. Even when they can be a little challenging I can’t help but be endeared. After working in the rescue environment I don’t shy away from cats who may have any kind of special needs!
About: I’ve always had a cat in my life, my first pet was a cat and she was my best friend. They all have very different personalities and are very smart and have always been very special to me. I don’t think I could ever not have a cat in my lifetime!
About: I have grown up with every kind of animal and love them all! I have taken care of many peoples pets and will take great care of any pet I work part time so I’m always looking for things to do on my days off. I love being outside so I’d love to take your animal on however long of a walk they want I have a fenced yard and a very loving dog that is always ready to play. Most of the time that they are outside I’m out there with them playing.
About: Hi, I’m Drew, a proud dog dad to my Doberman Azula Kiyoshi and my late Golden Retriever Marley Appa. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. When a pet is in my care, they’re treated like family and receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, boarding stay, or house sitting, I do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I invite you to read my reviews from other pet parents who have trusted me with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute bookings, including weekends. When your pet stays with me, their routine and comfort are my priority. I have a flexible schedule and more then willing to take last minute request on the weekends. Your pup schedule becomes my schedule. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, they will be in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you are away.
“I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip. Will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I’ve own 3 cats in the past, Lana, Goochy and currently Milly. 2 of them were family cats but Milly is my own. I’ve adopted Milly from my sister because she liked me more. I’ve also personally saved my cat Milly’s life about 3 times. True story.
“Katie is the best cat and house sitter ever! The cats loved her from the first minute she walked through the door to meet them! She is trustworthy and responsible. I will hire Katie anytime I have to leave my fur babies!”
About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. 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. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. This includes cats and dogs with special needs such as permanent injuries, animal aggression and seizures. Volunteered at animal shelters all of middle and high school. Very loving and kind with all animals. I work full time as an electrician, however my schedule is very flexible and I have all weekends off. I only work a regular 8 hour day and have plenty of time to spare after work for your beloved furry family member. I live in an apartment but fortunately it has its own dog park area, nearby parks, walking paths and hiking locations. I am very active and enjoy high energy dogs, but I also enjoy relaxing and giving plenty of ear scratches to dogs that like their lazy days.
About: know that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to keep your cat’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away by following your instructions carefully and providing patient, attentive care. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your care instructions exactly as you provide them. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playtime, brushing, administering simple medications (if needed), or simply providing quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your cat receives the care and attention they deserve. You’ll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’m a dedicated animal lover who relocated to Springfield, MO about a year ago, and I’m excited to continue caring for pets in my new community. I previously volunteered with the SPCA, where I gained hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and positive—qualities that help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to meet their needs. I’m very active and enjoy engaging pets with activities like fetch, walks, and interactive play. Having grown up with multiple dogs and cats, I’m very familiar with daily care routines and animal behavior. I also have experience reinforcing basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, leash walking, roll over, and fetch. In addition, I’m comfortable with bathing and providing routine grooming care based on your pet’s specific needs and breed requirements. Building trust is extremely important to me. I use clear communication and patience to create a strong bond with every pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would with family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already lead an active, structured lifestyle. I make time each day for walks, outdoor activity, and maintaining a consistent schedule, which allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and check-ins. I’m flexible throughout the week and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or extra attention for pets who need more companionship and activity. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I look forward to rather than simply fitting into my schedule. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether I’m in my home or caring for them in a client’s home. My goal is to keep their environment as comfortable, consistent, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely—this includes feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific routines your pet is used to. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, play, and rest based on their energy level and temperament. I’m attentive to behavior, comfort, and any changes so I can respond quickly if needed. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, maintaining consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life—both big and small. I’ve aways been interested in dog training and care. I have had my dog for the past 5 years--she is off leash trained, walks in heel, and gets along super well with other dogs. I am a third year medical student, managing my studies and my own dogs life! I have a fairly flexible schedule and love hanging out and caring for dogs. I live in an apartment, so my own dog gets at least two walks a day. We walk on the trails around Springfield and love to explore the parks.

“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!”
“Miss Heather was so awesome! She got my nervous Brandy to eat and played ball with her, which made Brandy feel right at home. I loved the pics she sent when I asked how Brandy was doing, and she got back to me right away. I will definitely ask for her again when I come through town!”
“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.”
“Linda is amazing! She’s super friendly and responded quickly to my urgent request for a place for Stormie to go today. I highly recommend her! Stormie had fun and is worn out from playing all day. ♥️♥️”

“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!!!!”
“Raquel was so great with our 4mo old puppy during our first doggy daycare. She helped her socialize with the other dogs and was very mindful of size/age differences and always had a safety-first mindset. We loved the picture updates and video messages to put our minds at ease for our first day away from our fur-baby. Can't wait to use Raquel again in the future. Thanks!”
“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.”
“So glad I found a sitter I can trust! Wally loves visiting with Piper and making new friends. He seems to be very content here. I’m grateful for the pics, videos, updates, etc and making sure he gets some rest during the boundless energy he has.”
About: I grew up with dogs, helping my parents raise English and French bulldogs for 10 years in our family kennel, which was USDA certified. I've always had at least two dogs in the house (plus the 32 we owned in the kennel!) and I now have two dogs of my own (ages 13 and 3) at home with my husband. I have been raising/house training dogs almost my entire life and I love them to pieces! I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I love going on walks with them and playing with them. I am a stay at home mom, so I am almost always available, with the exception of Sundays between 10 am and 3 pm. Please drop off for a boarding stay or schedule a drop-in/dog walk time either before or after those times on Sundays. I am available for meet and greets every weekend and every weeknight after 5pm! I can't wait to love on your pup! I currently work from home on a flexible schedule: I can do drop-ins before 7:30am, on my lunch break at noon and after 5pm, and I'm available for drop off any time during the day if you let me know in advance. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs who have separate sleeping spaces. All dogs eat in their crates (please bring a crate for boarding) and sleep in them at night with the exception of our shepsky who sleeps in our bedroom. Dogs can all be separated or together as needed and are free to go outside all day every day through the dog door.

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.

About: I’ve owned at least one dog on my own since 2011. It’s me and my Dixie girl right now. She loves to play and also loves to chill on the couch! I work from home, so I am home most of the day to care for your dog! Frequent potty breaks, any type of feeding schedule, we can make it work! I have a fenced yard and love to be outside playing fetch or with other toys. I also love to lay on the couch and snuggle!
About: Hello and welcome to our little side of dog paradise! I will need a meet and greet before I can commit to any extent of stay. All dogs must be current on shots and show no symptoms of infection or intestinal issues. Charlie, my last dog was a dachshund, she 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! 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 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. 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.
“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.”

“Katie is amazing! She came over and helped sooth my new puppy mom anxiety by making sure luna was taken care of, fed, and let out! She stayed to play with luna, which was not necessary, but greatly appreciated!”
“Morgan is always SO excited to see Laurelai! She's kind and even brought my Amazon packages inside for me! She has great communication and was able to walk Morgan the same day when I forgot to book ahead of time. I've used her a few times now and plan on having her walk Morgan when needed in the future!”

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. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. 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.

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.
About: I love working with animals! Friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I’ve taken care of countless animals, volunteer at an animal shelter, have had multiple pets over the years, and have a hobby of rescuing stray animals. I would love to help with anything needed. Please reach out! I am currently looking for a summer job before attending college in August. I am free almost any day this summer to come and take care of your fur baby! I have lots of experience wrangling dogs and cats of all kinds. I am an experienced sitter who prioritizes safety and happiness of the animal.
About: I have a wide variety of experience caring for animals, all the way from cats to horses! With two dogs and two cats of my own (and many more throughout the years), I’ve faced my fair share of complications and situations but have been able to handle them accordingly. I’ve had to care for pets with arthritis, hip and bone disease and elderly pets as well new puppies. I’m experienced in basic training such as sit, stay, and lay down. I am a college student! Though my availability is is odd sometimes, i will always make sure to be there for your furry companions and give them the best care they need. I will treat your babies like my own! Depending on their needs, they will receive walks, playtime, nap times, and just plain fun! I like to keep them involved with my daily life (car rides, dog parks, etc.) and allow them to become comfortable with me on their own time! Every dog or cat is different and I’m willing to do whatever to make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy while you’re out!
“Linda was very intuitive to Bear’s needs! He’s an old dog with arthritis, and she never pushed him past his limits on their walk. You could tell he was very at ease with her. I appreciate the wonderful care she’s given him!”

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past two years and personally potty trained her, taught her tricks, and trained her to be comfortable and well-behaved around people. I also worked in child care for two years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with attention and love. I treat every dog with the same care and protection I would give a one-year-old baby, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. I’m flexible during those times and happy to work with your pet’s routine.

I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable, I provide a free meet and greet. I am available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week. I am more flexible with times on the weekends. However, please feel free to message your needs and I will see if I can accommodate. I am accustomed to set schedules with pets, enrichment, and exercise. I practice strict leash security and will double check all gates, fence, and doors before leaving. There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.

“Omgoodness what amazing people!! Chippy was so well taken care of!!! We are so pleased that we found you!! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!!”
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 took such great care of our dog Trip! She provided frequent updates on his stay while we were gone and he came home happy and clearly well cared for. We would definitely rebook with her!”
“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. ❤️??”
“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”
“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.”
“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 :).”
“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!!”
“If I could give more stars I would. Raelynn, thank you so much for giving me such peace of mind leaving my silly boy at your house for the weekend. I was so nervous to leave him somewhere unfamiliar. He was so well cared for, he obviously felt so comfortable from the pictures you sent and a lot of the time he can be kind of anxious when I'm away (or maybe I'm just anxious 😂). I'm so glad he had other pups to play with too. I will use you for his care when I need it from now on. Thank you so so much.”
“Another fabulous stay. We got updates and photos of Sophie, it was clear she was getting all kinds of attention and love while we were away. We appreciate that Gerrad spoils her as much as we do!”
“Dylan was great! I was very nervous leaving one of my pups as it was her first time being away from us. She did very well and Dylan sent us updates daily. My pups didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! Highly recommend Dylan for your boarding stays.”
“Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.”
“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.”
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.
“Emma was fantastic with our pups! She sent us lots of “pupdates” with pics. Took the girls on several walks, on outings to the park and even tried to teach them tricks. She went above and beyond with everything. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time Rover experience.”
“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.
“Tiffany is a joy and truly loves the pets she cares for. Our pet was well cared for and had such a great experience with Tiffany. She is excellent at communicating and keeping us up-to-date! She went out of her way to provide the best service and care for our pet!! We are so glad we met her and will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: Hello, I currently have a work-from-home job. I have two amazing fur babies, Milo (Augi) and Mila (Corgi). Milo is 10 years old, and Mila is 6 years old. They are great with other dogs. Milo is very social and always wants to make new friends. Mila can be social but is mostly attached to my side. I am great with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies. I do work from home and I am unable to visit during the day, but in the evenings, I am available for visits, walks, scratches, and snoot boops if needed. I have a huge backyard that my kiddos (dogs) love to play in. It is fenced in and secure. If they misbehave, which is rare, I never say "bad boy/girl". I use words like "That was not a good boy/girl." My family calls me a millennial parent as I use positive words/phrases when disciplining. They are crate-trained and do love their kennel. I have a large kennel if needed for a safe space.
