“Amanda and her family and pets were amazing...Do not look any further! This is our first experience leaving our almost 4 year old Mini Schnauzer, Bella. Bella did amazing and we are so happy with the experience. Thank you Amanda and family. 😇”
“Mallory, you were more than I expected. She is so kind, took such wonderful care of my shy guy, Lenny. She loves your furry babies like her own, and her kiddos are wonderful at helping. They all just loved Lenny and were so understanding and patient with him. He's prone to hiding in new places, she was able to get him out safely. She helped me with some tips and told me about an awesome product for worms and other pests that works, I was and still am so grateful. She is quick to respond, has a very calm and sweet personality. I read several reviews before I decided, and all of them were right. I will be returning and Lenny came home happy, feeling good and cared for. Thank you Mallory, and tell your littles I said thank you! You are definitely someone I will continue to trust with my fur babies safely and happiness. Lenny says hi and he misses you guys! :)”
“Brooke was so good with our pup. She even helped him get potty trained while we were on vacation. She sent us videos, pictures, daily updates and even tips on training our dog. She’s very responsive and trustworthy. We didn’t worry at all and knew our puppy was in great hands! I cannot recommend her enough for your dog sitting needs.”
“Nella was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she cares a lot for the dogs she is entrusted with. Thank you Nella! Will definitely book again.”
“Bogey and Birdie made themselves right at home at Gretchen’s. We can tell they got lots of TLC from her entire family. Communication was great and we received fun pictures and updates.”
“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.”
“Gerrad was very accommodating for our girl Stella! He was quick to respond when I sent messages and also checked in several times a day with pictures! We would feel comfortable sending Stella back to him anytime. She was very loved while staying there!”
“We were very happy with Dylan and his care for our dog. He thought of everything and gave us peace of mind. He sent plenty of updates and photos. We will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend!”
“Ashleigh did great with my 2 weenie babies. She has a fenced in, safe yard. She text and sent photos everyday and was very accommodating to their needs. Definitely recommend her services!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid, im really considerate of everyone’s time and need of there own time I can help and do anything you may ask even give the pet medicine if that is what is needed I have 4 cats and they are very well trained and loveable. I also help out around the neighborhood in pet sitting so I pretty much know what you will expect of me and I’ll make sure it happens. I give them baths, brush them, feed them, walk them, I’m very calm and time proficient and know what to do in case of emergency
“My dog came home happy! I am so happy to see her calm and not anxious after being away from home. I definitely recommend Aaron and Jennifer. It was the exact care my dog needed. I already booked them for my next trip!”
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: 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.
“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.”
“Payten was an exceptional dog sitter for our two pups during their week-long stay. Her house and yard were perfect for our dogs to play and relax in. Communication was timely, and she was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Payten's friendly demeanor made us feel at ease leaving our pets in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing, we got pictures daily and I felt very at ease knowing my babies were taken care of. She even cleaned up after my elderly cat, very nice and would recommend!”
“She took great care of my cat while I was out of town! She sent lots of photos and was very quick to respond to messages. She also went out of her way to take out my trash and sweep the floors so I could come back to a clean home! I’m glad that Momo was able to make a new friend!!”
“She was great with my kitty Sasha. We had a mix up on the date we were coming home and had scheduled an extra day, which worked out. We had car problems and we stayed in touch on that extra day of I would/might need. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have always loved taking care of pets. I have had w dog in my life one passing away when I was a small child who I loved very much and one who has grown with me and taken care of me just as much as I have taken care of her. I am currently in college with mainly online classes so I have a very flexible schedule and tons and tons of time to come make sure everything is going well with your loved pets and play with them. I am capable of treating your pet with kindness, love and respect while also respecting and following any requests/rules you have. I am here to make your pet happy in any way 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!”
“She is very attentive to the boys and with their age it can be a lot. She definitely seems to go above and beyond when she takes care of them. We used her previously and would use her again”
“Aubrianna did a great job caring for our two cats and Home. She sent pictures several times throughout the week giving us additional peace of mind! We would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up caring for a dog that I was solely responsible for. Now I have an Australian Shepherd who I love dearly, who gets along with every dog she’s ever met and I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pup. Whether I’m doing a check-in, taking them for a walk, or having them over to play with my dog, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I have a big, fully fenced backyard and a dog-friendly home where they’re welcome to roam. You’re welcome to bring their crate, bed, or anything else that makes them comfortable. I’m flexible, accommodating, and happy to discuss your dog’s unique needs so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I am typically available evenings on Mondays-Thursdays after 5pm and available all day Friday-sundays including overnight visits and can be flexible for your puppy needs Clients can request to bring their dogs crates, beds, however their dog feels the most comfortable for naps and winding down. My puppy sleeps in a crate so she would give your dog the space they need to decompress. I have long leashes in my back yard that are secured and unbreakable that I attach every dog to for extra security in case they get out. If your dog is with me eyes will be on them the entire time. They will be safe.
“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!”
“Mikala did an amazing job dropping in and taking care of my 2 dogs!! One of my dogs is fairly skittish and Mikala helped her feel comfortable enough that she came right out by the end of the weekend. Highly recommend!”
“kate is great! our pickles was so well taken care of. she wrote detailed messages and attached photos everyday so we knew how our girl was doing without us. very thankful that we knew she was in good hands!”
“Ashlyn was very responsive and was always on time and gave me multiple pictures so I always knew how things were at home when I was gone. It was a last minute booking and yet she still worked with me and made things happen and I couldn’t recommend a better person to watch a furry friend!”
About: I’ve grown up with, and been taking care of dogs majority of my life. I know how important it is to make sure your dog is in good hands and would love to help you out! Could definitely do morning and evening care. I have some flexibility with work, so depending on your needs, we can definitely work something out in between that! I believe in maintaining structure (yes, even for dogs). They do better when they know what to expect too. I will do my best to learn your routine, their quirks, and make them as comfortable as possible and maintain your routine as I do with my own dog!

“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.”
“Jackie and Micheal were absolutely amazing and really exceeded my expectations! They were communicative, attentive, & so incredible with my Sadie! I would highly recommend these folks to care for your fur baby! They understood how to care for Sadie and were so patient with her! love them seriously!!”

“Brooke was great to meet with Harper before her daycare stay and help her be at ease for her upcoming daycare visit. During her daycare stay, we received pictures and videos- no doubt Harper had an amazing time! We will definitely book again.”
“Mikala and her daughter were so sweet. Both our Corgis were so calm and relaxed when we picked them up. You can tell they had lots of fun running around. If we are back in the area and need a sitter again, we will definitely have her watch them again! Thanks so much for taking such great care of our maniacs!”
“Levi has done a wonderful job watching Bruno while I am at work. Bruno was nervous in his first week but now is really excited to get to go see Levi and his two pups Mushu and Buddy each day and comes home exhausted from having such a good time. Thank you Levi!”
About: Combining my years of pet experience with my current flexibility as a stay-at-home wife allows me to provide an incredibly attentive, safe, and loving environment for your dog. As a stay-at-home wife, my schedule is incredibly flexible, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. Since I manage our household from home, I don't have a rigid 9-to-5 commute. This means your pet becomes a natural part of my day. I structure my routine around their needs—whether that’s morning walks, mid-day playtime in the yard, or just having them keep me company while I’m taking care of things around the house. They are rarely left alone and get consistent attention throughout the day I treat every furry friend exactly like my own They have full access to our main living spaces, plenty of comfortable spots to lounge, and they are never left unattended for long periods. I stick closely to whatever feeding, medication, and bathroom schedule they are used to at home so their routine stays completely normal. You can trust they are good hands.
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!

“Took elphie in super last minute and saved the day. Was so kind and loving to her and made me feel comfortable leaving her. She sent lots of photos and was very obviously enjoying the presence of my dog, which gives any dog mom peace of mind!”
“I’ve been using Heather’s pet sitting services 2–3x/week for over 2 years now. She is the absolute best. She will provide such loving, enriching care for your dog. My dog is exhausted from all the play and excitement when I come to pick her up, and that’s exactly what she needs because she doesn’t get enough of that otherwise. Heather has gone out of her way countless times to make sure my dog is taken care of. I’d never consider another dog sitter at this point unless I absolutely had to.”
About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet play and care for other dogs while providing you peace of mind while you are away from them. I've owned many breeds from small to large and find all they need is love and attention . I am heading into retirement and my kids live in other states so dog sitting seems perfect to earn & help others.I have a small home and fair size fenced yard . I have a fenced yard and quiet neighborhood for walking . I can also come to your home if you will be away for a period of time.
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!
About: I grew up with my best friend Reuben, the family St. Bernard. My love for caring for pets has never ceased. I love and respect dogs and believe that if I love your dogs like I love mine, they will feel secure and confident until you come home. Additionally, having been a homeowner for many years, I am a fantastic house sitter. I have an extensive frame of reference if something presents itself that I need to address or call to your attention. If you like, I can bring in your mail and water your plants. And optional services can include running errands, shopping in preparation for your return, running packages to drop off, weeding landscaped beds, organizing projects, cleaning projects, and anything that you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t had the time. I work remote part-time, so I can work from anywhere and am available most of the time for overnight stays, or just visits and walks. Taking care of your pet(s) in your home offers your pet(s) the most familiarity because we will follow your protocol and structure to which they are accustomed. Occasionally I will care for pets in my home.
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.
“Super responsive, nice, and great place to drop your dogo off for the day. Sent updates all day. My puppy was tuckered out by the time I picked him up. Thank you Gretchen!”
About: I’m an animal science major with lots of different animal experience! I foster with local shelters, extern at a local veterinary office, and pride myself in research/care I’ve taken with my own animals and others. I’m currently a full time student MSU. Most of my classes are first thing in the morning, then I’m available for the rest of the day. I have a completely fenced 1 acre yard with 3 personal dogs who are completely used to new interesting dogs from previous fosters. I kennel all of my dogs and all meals are given separated. No animal in my house is left alone together unsupervised.
“Ashleigh was great with our 2 doggies! We can tell she has a very tender heart for animals. She kept us informed all during their stay and even sent pictures. We highly recommend her! Jay & Carol M”

“Anastasia (Kristi) was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help tire our pup out with some exercise, and did some bonus training and cuddles. Our lab mix Kadee Buggins really soaked it up and we can’t wait to book her again! Very kind. Very professional. Extremely fast response rate and excellent communication with the visit. I felt so at ease and knew my dog was in great hands with Kristi.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Romeo (my pit/jack Russell), is not always fond of new people. Mallory was able to connect with him and provide a positive experience. I'm so glad to have found someone we both like and can turn to when he is in need of physical exertion and I am too busy.”
About: I have pet sit since I could drive, both dogs, cats, and horses. I will always be flexible with each pets individual needs and wants. I am available to walk and visit your animals almost all day. When house sitting, I try to stay in the house a majority of the day. Loving your animals and taking care of them is my priority during those times! I understand that keeping to the usual schedule is imperative when it comes to keeping an animal calm. Your animal deserves the consistent care that I can provide.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats a majority of my life. I grew up with them in the house and know how to take care of them. I love animals and want to make sure they are happy and healthy! I currently work full time but my mornings and afternoons are available for walks during the week. I also have pretty open availability on weekends. Every pet has its own schedule so I want to make sure I follow it to make them feel more safe and secure. Having detailed guidelines depending on how they are normally taken care of is perferred to give them a better experience!
About: i’m open to traveling around springfield to accommodate whatever you need. my experience with dogs goes way beyond casual pet care — during my mom’s cancer journey, i was heavily involved in caring for her great danes and pitbull, so i’m very comfortable handling large breeds, strong personalities, and more involved routines - that time really shaped how i show up as a caregiver. i’m calm, patient, and very tuned into an animal’s behavior and needs — whether that’s high-energy, anxious, protective, or just wanting to be left alone lol. i’m not easily overwhelmed, and i take their safety and comfort seriously. i also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, especially when they’re used to a certain routine. i’m extremely detail-oriented and will follow instructions exactly — feeding schedules, meds, quirks, all of it. what sets me apart is that i don’t just “watch” pets — i care for them in a way that keeps their environment consistent, stress low, and their personality respected. and you’ll always get updates because i know how important that peace of mind is. i am also a regular volunteer with local organization Rescue One! 💜 can't wait to meet you & your fur babies! i currently work full-time as a marketing project coordinator here in springfield, but my schedule is super consistent, which makes pet care easy to plan around. i’m fully available early mornings, evenings, and weekends — aka the exact times most pets need the most attention anyway. honestly, pet care fits really naturally into my routine because i already structure my days around consistency, timing, and attention to detail (very much my job lol). whether it’s early morning drop-ins, evening walks/feeds, or weekend coverage, i’m able to show up reliably and keep things on schedule. i also prioritize making time for it — this isn’t an afterthought for me. i genuinely enjoy it, and i like having that balance outside of my 9–5. so when i’m with your pet, they’re getting my full attention, not me rushing through a checklist to get to the next thing. i’m open to traveling anywhere around the springfield area to accommodate what you need. when i’m in a client’s home, i’m super respectful of your space — i treat it like i would my own and make sure everything stays clean, calm, and exactly how you left it. my approach is really centered on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. i’ll follow any instructions closely — feeding, meds, walk schedules, quirks, all of it — and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment while you’re away. i’m also very mindful of energy and temperament, so whether your pet needs a lot of activity, structured walks, or just a calm presence, i adjust to them. i’m especially great for early mornings, evenings, and weekends, which tends to be when pets need the most consistency anyway with a typical work schedule. overall, i’m not just popping in and out — i’m making sure your pet is cared for in a way that feels familiar, safe, and genuinely attentive, while also respecting your home and any specific expectations you have.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid, im really considerate of everyone’s time and need of there own time I can help and do anything you may ask even give the pet medicine if that is what is needed I have 4 cats and they are very well trained and loveable. I also help out around the neighborhood in pet sitting so I pretty much know what you will expect of me and I’ll make sure it happens. I give them baths, brush them, feed them, walk them, I’m very calm and time proficient and know what to do in case of emergency
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals in the house including dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and even turtles. The responsibility of pet ownership has been instilled in me from a young age and I’d love to help out others where I can! I’ve had all sizes and energy levels of dogs including a greyhound, chihuahua, cattle dog, cocker spaniel, and a chiweenie! I’m not at a place in life where I can own my own pet right now but I’d love to help others take care of their furry family members! I work 3.5 days a week and I’m looking to care for pets on Thursday-Sunday! I have a pretty open/flexible schedule on those days! I would be able to walk, play with and/or entertain your dog or cat depending on its needs and energy level. I am a very flexible person and can work and learn to accommodate to your pets needs!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old and have been house sitting and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for the past 5 years. Throughout that time, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give owners peace of mind by providing dependable, attentive care. I typically work Saturday through Wednesday from 6:00am to 3:00pm. During these hours, I may be away for my shift, but I always make sure pets are cared for before I leave and immediately after I return. I plan my schedule around their needs as much as possible and communicate clearly with owners to ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. I care for pets by ensuring they are fed, have fresh water, receive plenty of exercise and attention, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s regular routine, so I always do my best to follow their schedule for meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime. I also have experience administering medications. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog that required medication every morning and evening, as well as a senior dog with arthritis who needed oral medication each night. I know how important consistency is, and I’m committed to following each pet’s care instructions closely to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable.
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds, plus have years of pet sitting experience for friends & family, even interned at the Dickerson Park Zoo for a summer! Im just new to Rover! I love animals, of all kinds and sizes! I can’t wait to meet you & your pet or pets! I have a pretty flexible schedule, I take care of my own pets daily along with running errands and other daily activities. Pets have always been a big part of my daily life! I unfortunately can’t do boarding but I will gladly stay at your home to make your babies as comfortable as possible! Meeting before you leave allows us to go over their normal routines, feeding, what they love to play. I will gladly dance or sing for your dog to get them to sing, tell me all about your pets silly quirks! Honestly, with my pets weird habits or quirks, nothing phases me anymore! I will not ever judge you for making up a dance just to get your pet to eat.
About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. 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: 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: Hello! I have two little dogs, I would definitely say my life is structured around both of them. I have a lifetime of experience around all types of dogs and other animals! I have been dog walking / cat house sitting for a few years and really enjoy getting to spend time with new animals! I live in a house with a large fenced in back yard that is safe and clean to roam around! We have a schedule of bathing, flea and tick treatments and special medication for my older chihuahua every month. My older chihuahua requires daily medication as well. I am very personable with my dogs, I speak to them often, they're definitely in the loop of things and get treats often. My dogs are my best buddies, I see all animals that way. <3

“Mallory, you were more than I expected. She is so kind, took such wonderful care of my shy guy, Lenny. She loves your furry babies like her own, and her kiddos are wonderful at helping. They all just loved Lenny and were so understanding and patient with him. He's prone to hiding in new places, she was able to get him out safely. She helped me with some tips and told me about an awesome product for worms and other pests that works, I was and still am so grateful. She is quick to respond, has a very calm and sweet personality. I read several reviews before I decided, and all of them were right. I will be returning and Lenny came home happy, feeling good and cared for. Thank you Mallory, and tell your littles I said thank you! You are definitely someone I will continue to trust with my fur babies safely and happiness. Lenny says hi and he misses you guys! :)”
“Nella was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she cares a lot for the dogs she is entrusted with. Thank you Nella! Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“Gerrad was very accommodating for our girl Stella! He was quick to respond when I sent messages and also checked in several times a day with pictures! We would feel comfortable sending Stella back to him anytime. She was very loved while staying there!”
“We were very happy with Dylan and his care for our dog. He thought of everything and gave us peace of mind. He sent plenty of updates and photos. We will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid, im really considerate of everyone’s time and need of there own time I can help and do anything you may ask even give the pet medicine if that is what is needed I have 4 cats and they are very well trained and loveable. I also help out around the neighborhood in pet sitting so I pretty much know what you will expect of me and I’ll make sure it happens. I give them baths, brush them, feed them, walk them, I’m very calm and time proficient and know what to do in case of emergency
“My dog came home happy! I am so happy to see her calm and not anxious after being away from home. I definitely recommend Aaron and Jennifer. It was the exact care my dog needed. I already booked them for my next trip!”
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.
“Payten was an exceptional dog sitter for our two pups during their week-long stay. Her house and yard were perfect for our dogs to play and relax in. Communication was timely, and she was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Payten's friendly demeanor made us feel at ease leaving our pets in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 33 years ever since getting my first dog at 7 years old. I’ve had dogs of all sizes and shapes including a Lhasa Apso, King Charles Spaniel, Golden Retrievers, Pitbull, Shihpoo, and Heeler/Daschund mix. They’ve ranged in ages from 8 week old puppy to 5 year old rescue when I brought them home and I nursed many through their senior years. Of course I love all pets so I’ve also had Bunnies, Fish, Cats, hermit crabs, frogs, and more. I love them all! Currently in my home I have a 1 year old Shihpoo name Mocha and a 5 year old Heeler/Dauschund mix named Luna. I promise to take care of your fur babies just as if they were mine! I am a single mother with lots of time on my hands to love on pets. I have a daughter in Junior High and a son in High School so I do run them back and forth to their activities but otherwise I’m ready to spend time with the fur babies. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a couple big trees for shade while pets are playing outdoors and a covered back porch for relaxing.
“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.”
“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: 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.
“Our dog was so spoiled with Daria, I was unsure if she was going to want to come home! Daria has amazing communication, sent tons of photos and videos of our girl being spoiled and she was super understanding of our dogs needs. Daria is definitely our go-to dog sitter!”
“Michael and Jackie were absolutely amazing! They sent pictures to keep me updated and my kids had so much fun! Usually Yoshi has a lot of anxiety, but not this time!”
