“Karen & Delbert's place is Brandon's home away from home! He loves to play with their dog and knows his name very well. I asked him if he wanted to go play with Bairn and he got so excited, running back and forth, looking out the window and wagging his tail! He couldn't wait to get there. They will treat your dog like it is their own. Highly recommend.”
“It was so amazing to be able to find some one so close to our home . Especially when you are leaving on a holiday week. Our 5 month old hair ball was taking care of like was part of the family . It made leaving town less stressful for us so we could enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Jennifer and your beautiful family. I hope you had and had a wonderful Thanksgiving.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”
“You know you’ve found a great sitter when your dog runs happily up to the door and into the house! No guilt or worry for us, we know he’s in the best hands with Gerrad!”
About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.
“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.”
“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!!”
“Olivia was the most welcoming boarder! My dog even had a hard time saying bye to her. She provided photos and messages on a semi daily basis and was available for any inquiries I had. I will definitely book Olivia for our next boarding need.”
“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: 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.
“Jennifer was very welcoming and happy to have my large dogs. She was very professional and went out of her way to make them happy and welcome while they stayed at her home. I received regular photo updates too. Previously I have kenneled my dogs and I know Jennifer treated them so much better. Will repeat business for sure. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Brooke took great care of our dog. She asked questions about her routine and feeding ahead of time and kept us updated while we were away. We will definitely use Brooke again in the future!”
“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”
“Nancy and Kevin took such sweet care of our fur baby Honey. She was completely spoiled! They fed my picky eater off of their dinner plate and hand fed her. Nancy provided a photo library daily. We missed her so much, but had complete Confidence in her care.”
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.

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and birds since I was a teenager. I love them all and will go the extra mile to care for them. I will walk them, play with them, bathe them, and feed them. I'm available 7 days a week, but will only care for one families pets at a time, so first come first served. I take last minute same day requests. I will watch your pets in my home or yours. I don't have any of my own pets right now so yours will get all of my attention and care.
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 treat every cat with patience and respect for their unique personality. I’m comfortable with shy cats, seniors who need medication or extra care, and keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I provide gentle attention, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and send regular updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and I love them so much . I love to make them happy and spoil them with love and treats. I am flexible on times.

I have 2 dogs a German shepherd and she’s a love bug. It’s very spacious and dogs love it here. I also have a golden retriever border collie mix that is just adorable and kind
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.

“Brooke took wonderful care of Foster. We need a place for a few hours while we had a dog free activity. He came back sassy and happy. We will see her again when we are in the area.”

“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!”
“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.”
About: Only in Missouri I love dogs, I love lickes, jumps and plays.I can provide food and water, taking dogs out for walk, taking dogs to vet appointments, administering medication, providing companionsitter, taking care homes and ensuring the proper care of their pets.Trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I grew up with dogs all my life and also have fostered dogs and volunteered at PetSmart I will play nonstop frisbee, going on a long walk or sunbathing together in the yard. I love dogs I've had dogs all my life and loved each and every one of them big or small. I will look after them play with them and help get the attention they need while you're away .I'm free whenever you need me! I am currently not working at all I am free whenever your pet needs me preferably days only.I will do overnights with small dogs or cats only I don’t have a yard at all I rather pets not be here because my boys are not big fans of other dogs or cats they hiss.
“Jill is a treasure! She's great with my dog, who loves her and got so excited to come back to her house. She sends lots of pictures and updates which I love. I highly recommend her!”
“The best sitter ever!!! I was in a rush to find day care at the last minute and i had to work at 8am the next day. Thank God I found this amazing woman!! This was my first time on rover and my first time getting a doggie day care. She not only stayed in contact with me through the day through phone but also sent pictures and videos to check in with me while I was at work. She was so sweet and great with my Cashmere. I truly appreciate Gretchen and I highly recommend her!! :)”
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.
“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!”
About: I use to run a ranch full of all sorts of animals, and was basically the vet there as well as a horse trainer. I currently have 4 dogs and a cat . I love to see new animal friends and visit with them and see how happy they get when going for a walk or just throwing the ball. I'm athletic and go for mountain bike rides with my dogs and go on hikes as well, also am strong enough for those pups that like to pull. My favorite part of the day is being around my pets and family. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my child so it can be great to go for walks with pets and get outside. I will care for the pets by loving them and listening to the owners requests . My pets get treats sometimes and outdoor play everyday as well as walks ,weather permitting of course.when it's cold outside we tend to just snuggle up on the couch next to a fire.

She is such a great dog and is so aloof, like nothing bothers her! I am unable to board certain breeds due to home insurance restrictions and my senior dog so may not be able to accept every request, however, I haven’t turned one down yet!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and trained them myself. Our home has also housed rescues including litters, pregnant, mamas, senior dogs, and everything in between for the last nine years. We truly thrive on helping animals feel safe in our space. We are a work from home family so we have very flexible schedules, which would allow us to give your pet our full attention for the duration of their stay. We have an oversized fenced in yard for our Personal dogs to enjoy via doggy door anytime they’d like. Our pets include one lemon beagle named Finn and a standard Aussie-Doodle named Niko.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets when they’re out of town or busy. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra patience or love. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student, so my class schedule is flexible and I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends. I love spending time with animals, and pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to adjust based on your pet’s specific needs. In my client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions closely to make sure their pet stays on a familiar routine. I take care of feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to give lots of love, attention, and comfort so the pet feels safe while their owner is away. I keep things clean, send updates, and treat their home with care and respect. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles!
About: Hi, I'm Jerica! I live in Ozark, Missouri and run Earthbeet Farm with my partner. Prior to settling in Ozark, I moved around for a couple of years as a pet / house sitter domestically and internationally via Trusted Housesitters. I'd now like to open my home to your pets or enjoy getaway-sits. We have a large property along a creek and near the forest. We are flexible with sitting situations, animal needs, and schedules depending on the season. I am available for drop-ins, overnights or extended stays at the pet’s residence as well. We have a large property along a creek that does not have fencing, however we have a kennel and indoor living space. If we are sitting, it is best for a dog that likes to stay close by or not likely to run off. I am a tidy animal lover, and when sitting at someone’s residence, I treat their home and pets as I would treat my own.
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and birds since I was a teenager. I love them all and will go the extra mile to care for them. I will walk them, play with them, bathe them, and feed them.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small child but as I’ve gotten older I’ve become extremely interested in the training and grooming side of things. I’ve got experience with dogs ranging from 3 months to as old as 15 years old. I myself go hiking and walking with my dogs (2 year old Australian cattle dog mix) on a daily basis so I’m familiar with regularly exercising dogs. I’ve walked dogs for family members and friends so I’m familiar with walking dogs of all sizes, shapes and temperaments. I’m currently unemployed so I spend more of my time walking and hiking with my personal dogs, I’m very focused on dog training as well. I typically spend about 4-6 hours a day out with my dogs. I’ve been a pet sitter for various family members, sometimes staying with their pets for up to a week. Daily walks, mental stimulation and some training goes a long way for a pup being taken care of by someone else!

Everyone knows how the routine works as far as time outside to play, cuddle, and the feeding schedule.
About: I’m very intuitive with animals and quickly understand their routines and needs. I carefully follow care instructions and focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy building trust and giving each pet personalized care. I love animals and taking care of loved family members. I am also just trying to get enough money to pay for the rest of my college tuition. With my cat, I feed him 1/2 of a can of soft cat food 2 times a day with a treat at the end of the night. My pickles doesn’t need much care, he is already a very independent cat. When it comes to others pets, I closely follow each owner’s instructions so their pet receives the exact care, attention, and routine they’re used to.
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and birds since I was a teenager. I love them all and will go the extra mile to care for them. I will walk them, play with them, bathe them, and feed them. I'm available 7 days a week, but will only care for one families pets at a time, so first come first served. I take last minute same day requests. I will watch your pets in my home or yours. I don't have any of my own pets right now so yours will get all of my attention and care.
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 currently work remotely, full time so I will be able to take your pet out as much as they need. I am home most of the day. I live in a house with a nice fenced in backyard. My Australian Shepherd, Elsa loves to play fetch outdoors, while my Chihuahua tans in the sun.
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 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. 💛

“Karen & Delbert's place is Brandon's home away from home! He loves to play with their dog and knows his name very well. I asked him if he wanted to go play with Bairn and he got so excited, running back and forth, looking out the window and wagging his tail! He couldn't wait to get there. They will treat your dog like it is their own. Highly recommend.”
“It was so amazing to be able to find some one so close to our home . Especially when you are leaving on a holiday week. Our 5 month old hair ball was taking care of like was part of the family . It made leaving town less stressful for us so we could enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Jennifer and your beautiful family. I hope you had and had a wonderful Thanksgiving.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sabrina is fabulous! We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing while we were away, which I SO appreciated! Her attention to our "second child" allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more! We will for sure use her again and HIGHLY recommend!”
“You know you’ve found a great sitter when your dog runs happily up to the door and into the house! No guilt or worry for us, we know he’s in the best hands with Gerrad!”
About: Growing up I’ve worked with dog’s and sometimes cat’s whether it’s with family, friends or even my neighbors! From a very young age others have relied on me to give their pet’s the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to give your pup attention. I’m available during the weekdays from 7am - 1pm and all day on weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule which gives me time to give your pet the attention they need. I can work most weekdays and I can also work around their routines to help them feel comfortable, and cared for.
“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.”
“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!!”
“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: 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.
“Jennifer was very welcoming and happy to have my large dogs. She was very professional and went out of her way to make them happy and welcome while they stayed at her home. I received regular photo updates too. Previously I have kenneled my dogs and I know Jennifer treated them so much better. Will repeat business for sure. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Brooke took great care of our dog. She asked questions about her routine and feeding ahead of time and kept us updated while we were away. We will definitely use Brooke again in the future!”
“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”
“Nancy and Kevin took such sweet care of our fur baby Honey. She was completely spoiled! They fed my picky eater off of their dinner plate and hand fed her. Nancy provided a photo library daily. We missed her so much, but had complete Confidence in her care.”
“Jill was wonderful for our 2 kitties! She gave us daily videos and picture updates, and really helped our kids know the kitties would be okay. We think they had more fun there than at home! :) We will definitely use Jill again!”
“Oliver had a great weekend with Ashley and her family! He loves to go and hang out with her. Ashley treats him like one of her own furry pets! I would highly recommend her Rover services.”
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 two dogs and three cats at one time. I have house sat for two families and have no problem doing it again! I have experience working with big dogs, small dogs, disabled dogs, and have even given medication to dogs in pill form. I am not allergic to cats or dogs and I’m very stern on the animal getting comfortable with me in their own time. I am a stay-at-home wife, so I have all the time in the world. I don't have all the energy in the world though. I go for walks on nice days with my own dog often, but more than that, I can't because of health reasons. In my home, my animals don't have a set schedule or regimen. I go with their ques and roll with their punches. I can follow a schedule to the T if said baby needs one, especially for medications! I treat every animal (even strays) with love and care as if they were my own.
