“Jack seemed to have a wonderful first-time stay with Deserae and her family over the weekend. We received many fun photos of Jack and his new friends running and playing in her large, sturdily fenced back yard. I was a bit concerned that there may be too many dogs around for Jack, because his like is pretty tame with just the two of us around the home. But he seemingly truly enjoyed all the social time, and Deserae seemingly does a great job of matching up personalities to ensure that all enjoy their time together. I would love to be able to call on Deserae in the future, and recommend her to others as well!!”
“Second time booking with Brooke. She is excellent. You will be so pleased. We will continue to use her for our sweet pup in the future. He comes home so happy and well taken care of!”
“This was Kaycee’s 2nd stay with Amanda and her family, and it was just as wonderful as the first! 🐾 Amanda kept me updated with photos, videos and messages, and it was clear Kaycee felt right at home. She had plenty of playtime, attention, and love — I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Mallory always does a great job and always has great communication. I can’t say enough good things about her. She makes leaving your pet feel easy and stress free and our pup always has a great time.”
“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!”
“Very sweet and caring family! They made the whole process seamless for new comers to Rover. She sent updates and loved on my pup and made us feel so comfortable being away from him for the night. 100% recommend Raquel!”
“Ashleigh was great with all aspects of our dog's stay. Great communication before and during the stay along with pictures of how our dog was doing. Lucy was comfortable with Ashleigh and her home, and we look forward to using her again!”
“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Luk had the time of her life and I believe she was sad to leave Laura’s and come home. 😉. Laura communicated daily with text, pictures and videos. There were walks, play dates, a little pool out back for splashing around. She bathed her and loved her and taught her a few things too! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! We will be including Luk on more of the play dates in the future so that she can continue to socialize and have fun with dogs her own size.”
“This was our first experience using Rover, and Nella was fantastic. She was quick to respond to messages and accepted our request with very short notice. She took excellent care of Remi (our lab) and provided regular updates while he was in her care. We will most definitely reach out to her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Emily was great and very accommodating when I needed to change pickup time. Very responsive and felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her sweet family. Would definitely book with her 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!”
“I’m not sure I can properly put in to words how utterly grateful we are for Cierra and her family! We joke that we are more worried about what to do with our fur baby than our human children when we go on vacation (but really…), but no more! Now I’ve just fretted over leaving a raving review for fear that other people will find our hidden gem in this family and her being booked when we might need her, or not and depriving other dogs of being spoiled and enjoying their own vacation while their humans are gone. Seriously…Hamilton was spoiled and loved on and had so much fun. He lived it up on the farm for the week and we were honestly worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us after seeing the pictures of how happy he was. I’m not sure who is looking forward to our next overnight trip more: Hamilton or my husband and I! ?”
“Thanks Janie! Huckleberry is always well taken care of while in your care. He's a crazy spoiled pug with a huge personality and you handle him well. You will always be our go to sitter!”
“Great Sitter! Very attentive, went out of her way to work with my schedule, and Genuinely cared for and paid attention to my dog during his stay, and updated me with pictures during the stay! Thankyou again!”
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
“Gerrad is our go to sitter whenever we go out of town - I think he loves our dog as much as we do! Frequent updates, quick replies and lots of pictures…we miss him but never worry. Gerrad is truly the best!”
“Brooklyn was AMAZING! My dog has high separation anxiety and she catered to him in every way that she could to keep him comfortable. He was so content and relaxed with her plus had a great buddy to play hard with! She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated. I will absolutely use her again!”
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.

I am currently working full time from 7:30-4:30 Tuesday through Friday. I do have availability from time to time when the Doctor I work for goes out of town. I am currently unavailable to board animals where I am staying however in the future I would be interested in boarding your fur baby where I reside!
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.
“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.”
“Breelyn did a wonderful job of caring for my cat and sending me lots of pictures along the way. She provided kitty cuddles & company for a week while I was out of town for a work. I will definitely book with her when I travel in the future.”
“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 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.
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.

“Our three dogs visited with Laura and Nash for two days of doggie day care. They had a blast! They love staying at Laura's and came home both days completely tuckered out. They even had a down day the next day! I was out of town and my husband had all day commitments both days. It was such a relief to have Laura take our pups instead of keeping them kenneled at home. It was the first visit for one of our dogs, and she loved it just as much as our other two who have stayed with Laura several times. We are very lucky to have Laura and Nash to keep our pups safe and happy!”

“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: 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.
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 had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.
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!

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 treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention.

I work a regular job during the week and am mostly available Thursdays through Sundays to pet sit. I usually always have that whole weekend off so whenever you need someone to watch for those days, I am always available. I spoil my pets. I give them lots of treats and lots of love and I will do the same for my clients pets and whatever they need me to do
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, including pet sitting for many family friends. I have recently started working at a vet clinic as a tech so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs with different temperaments. I currently work at a vet clinic 3-4 days a week. I’m available before and after work and all day on my days off. I am very responsible and will ensure your pet is taken care no matter the circumstances whether that is play time, walks, or feeding your pet will get the care they need.
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Breelyn is so kind and such a good caretaker of our puppy. She is dependable and communicates efficiently and effectively. We are so thankful to have her as a trusted caretaker of our pet!”
“Chante was wonderful! She took great care of my pups and cat while my husband and I were in town visiting in our RV. She was incredibly accommodating to our crazy schedule and we so appreciate her taking care of our fur babies while we were enjoying Branson.”
“Regina has been incredible. As our dog’s first walker, she worked with a very anxious pup who struggled with other dogs, people, and even environmental stimuli like leaves. Since Regina began walking her, we’ve seen significant progress—our dog is now more confident, enjoys her walks, and is more comfortable sharing space with others. We truly appreciate Regina’s patience and consistency.”

“Jack seemed to have a wonderful first-time stay with Deserae and her family over the weekend. We received many fun photos of Jack and his new friends running and playing in her large, sturdily fenced back yard. I was a bit concerned that there may be too many dogs around for Jack, because his like is pretty tame with just the two of us around the home. But he seemingly truly enjoyed all the social time, and Deserae seemingly does a great job of matching up personalities to ensure that all enjoy their time together. I would love to be able to call on Deserae in the future, and recommend her to others as well!!”
“Mallory always does a great job and always has great communication. I can’t say enough good things about her. She makes leaving your pet feel easy and stress free and our pup always has a great time.”
“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Luk had the time of her life and I believe she was sad to leave Laura’s and come home. 😉. Laura communicated daily with text, pictures and videos. There were walks, play dates, a little pool out back for splashing around. She bathed her and loved her and taught her a few things too! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you! We will be including Luk on more of the play dates in the future so that she can continue to socialize and have fun with dogs her own size.”
“This was our first experience using Rover, and Nella was fantastic. She was quick to respond to messages and accepted our request with very short notice. She took excellent care of Remi (our lab) and provided regular updates while he was in her care. We will most definitely reach out to her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Great Sitter! Very attentive, went out of her way to work with my schedule, and Genuinely cared for and paid attention to my dog during his stay, and updated me with pictures during the stay! Thankyou again!”
About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.
“Gerrad is our go to sitter whenever we go out of town - I think he loves our dog as much as we do! Frequent updates, quick replies and lots of pictures…we miss him but never worry. Gerrad is truly the best!”
“Brooklyn was AMAZING! My dog has high separation anxiety and she catered to him in every way that she could to keep him comfortable. He was so content and relaxed with her plus had a great buddy to play hard with! She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated. I will absolutely use her again!”
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: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid! I absolutely love pets and have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can help with potty training, crate training, and obedience training. I will also send pictures and videos for peace of mind because everyone deserves that! I treat everyone’s animals like I would treat my own. I can’t wait to help you all with your pets. I currently clean homes for a living. I’m home a lot and could watch anyone’s pets whenever. I also have a husband who can help and a 7 year old kiddo who loves pets and would love your animals like her own. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your animals company. We can also crate your fur baby if needed or ours no problem.
“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: 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.
“Really appreciated a daily picture and updates, gives you a piece of mind while away. Kaitlin is friendly, welcoming, and great communication. First time in 14years ever having someone other than friends or family watching Bentlee. I would definitely book again in the future.”
“We had to go out of town last minute and Tracy was quick to respond to our messages. She even offered for a meet and greet even though it was such short notice. She was so kind and our pup Churro had such a fun time at her place with her two dogs. We are so happy we found her and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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.”
“Sydney and her husband are amazing! They provided great updates while my dog was with them and were so flexible and understanding when I accidentally booked wrong, and they let my dog stay another night! I’m so grateful to them!”
“Jennifer and her family were absolutely amazing. My dog is getting older and I feel better having her and someone's home then boarding her. They sent me updates everyday and treated my dog very well. I will definitely be using them in the future.”
