Highly-rated overnight sitters - Springfield
“My pup absolutely loved her time with Daisy! She played and played and I loved getting videos and pictures from Daisy that gave me piece of mind that Kota was having so much fun during her stay! And Daisy graciously worked with me when my flight was delayed coming back home so that was wonderful not to be stressed picking the pup up after a long trip. Wonderful experience!!”
“Harley had a great time and will definitely be coming back to see Claudia! First time using Rover to board my own dog, and I felt at ease the whole trip. I received lots of pictures. She took Harley on a walk and I got videos of her running around the yard having a blast. She even sent Harley home with a goodie bag! Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was amazing! She was so responsive and updated me every day, multiple times on my pup! She sent me pictures and videos (as requested) and he LOVED it! She has a nice, open, and fenced yard. Her dogs were so sweet and got along great with my dog. I would 100% rebook with Nicole!”
“Hatsuki’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”
“Amber is very good with Asher. He is a bit skittish and she knows how to handle him. Any other time I had taken Asher to be boarded, he came back a little different and less trusting. Not so with Amber. When I bring him home after being with her, he goes quickly back to his old self. I see no new behaviors.. He’s his lovable self and that says a lot for the care she gives him.”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Ashlee was wonderful with my dogs. She loved on them like they were her own. One was a 5-month old puppy full of energy which required extra attention. She spoiled him and bought him to baby pool as she noticed that he loved water! She also bathe and washed bedding for both dogs before I picked them up. It was so nice not having to clean them when we got home. I highly recommend her if you want a worry free vacation.”
“Tami did such a great job watching our dogs! She allowed us to come over to see the place and meet her before we made a decision. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures and updates each day. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at their home. Our dogs were very relaxed and loved and we greatly appreciate Tami taking such good care of our dogs.”
About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Kristol was very sweet and accommodating! Had a great backyard for Kobe to run around in and an equally energetic pint sized friend for him to play with! I received photos and updates regularly. Thank you so much for caring for my little guy over the weekend!”
“Karen was fantastic! My dogs, two larger breeds, enjoyed hanging out with her and the other dogs and got lots of outside time. I got pictures of my pups several times a day and she gave them rotisserie chicken with their meals. If I need my dogs watched again, I will definitely go back to her inbox!”
“Well Sadie must have had a good time she was wore out I'm sure with playing with the children I know she loves little children and dogs everything went well is expected”
“Such a kind and caring family. This was Shay's 1st time staying without us and she did wonderful. They made her feel loved and safe, which really put our minds at ease! Definitely will use in the future!”
“Kris takes wonderful care of my dog, Scout. I get daily pictures and updates. Her home is lovely and has a large back yard. Scout loves to visit and play frisbee with Kris and her dog, Baloo.”

“Jenna is awesome! She was willing to come and do a meet/greet with short notice the week before Christmas to care for our senior cat, Kaiba. Very accommodating and good communication. Would definitely love her help again in the future, highly recommend! Our cats are our children, so we are picky with who we hire to help us.”

“Krista took fantastic care of my kitty, Girly, while I was away on vacation. She sent pictures every day, so that I could see Girly was happy and doing great. This is the second time she has taken care of Girly, and both times I was able to relax and enjoy my vacations knowing Girly was in very good hands. Thanks Krista!”
“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”

I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Springfield
“The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!”

About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
About: I am an Art grad student and currently working on my thesis at home. I have a 3 years old dog named Mischa, who is the best part of my life. I will provide everything for your dogs, the same as I provide for my dog. He is 90lb, so I am pretty okay with the huge dogs, when I take care of them I take them to a walk at least twice a day, pulse plays with them at home. If the owner is okay I would love to take them to the dog park with my dogs. I provide the same environments for your dogs when you are not around for a short time. I hope I get a chance to meet your dog. Thanks, Safa
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong passion for animals and a dream of growing my own pet care business. I’ve had animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I also have experience administering medications and caring for special-needs pets, so your fur baby will always be in safe and loving hands. My home is perfect for active, social dogs! I have high-energy pups of my own who absolutely love making new friends and playing with other animals. Because safety is my top priority, I only accept dogs that are friendly, social, and well-behaved around other dogs. Your pup will enjoy tons of supervised playtime on our fully fenced-in acre of land, including separate fenced areas for independent play and relaxation if needed. I believe every dog deserves love, attention, enrichment, and lots of fun while you’re away. I also offer free light grooming for overnight stays if requested, and I love making homemade pet treats for my furry guests! Animal rescue and helping pets in need has always been close to my heart, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a safe, loving, and fun home away from home I am a stay at home mommy so I have so much free time on hands to care for your babies ! I have a golden retriever that loves to play! I let all animals out as needed so works perfectly for your fur babies potty needs ! I’m available any time and any day I have multiple fenced in areas and a heated pet area in the garage to also bathe your babies in if needed! Your furry pets are welcome in my home during day and at night they will be put in my spare room to sleep safely at night
“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my greyhound, Buttercup. There was excellent communication before and during the visit and as someone like myself that hasn’t taken a dog for daycare, I was so happy how easy it was with your service. My dog loved Nicole and I would highly recommend her.”
“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”
“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”
About: We have had all three of our mini schnauzers since birth so we have plenty of experience with puppies. I have been around dogs all my life. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am very flexible with scheduling and late notice boarding. I am available to take in your pet any day of the week. I have a fenced yard with three friendly mini schnauzers to keep your pet company. They are all neutered and spayed and ready for a play mate, but they also love to sleep.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
“Jeanie was so sweet and excited to have my senior pup! She sent me a couple pictures and an update to ease my mind dropping him off somewhere new. Xavier did great at her house and I could tell he was very comfortable with her when I picked him up. I’m super thankful to have found her in a pinch. Now, I know I can drop him off again!”
About: I have over 20 years experience raising puppies, training dogs, and caring for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Contact early to guarantee availability I work remotely and dogs are monitored closely. We care for your pet just like one of our family dogs. Well behaved dogs are welcome to be uncrated in our home. All are leash walked on our property. can offer crate training, housebreaking, and also have many extras clients can choose from. Dogs are kept here just like at home for the least stress possible.
“Mollie was wonderful with our 6mo old Bullmastiff puppy! We were passing through during a road trip. We wanted a day to go to a museum, and our puppy needed a day of good exercise. Our dog had a great day with Mollie, her hubby, and their dogs. We are so grateful we found her and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
“Arlissa is THE best! My girl is a barker and she handles her wonderfully. Arlissa sends little videos throughout the stay so I can see how Valkyrie is getting along! So far Arlissa is the only Rover sitter I’ve used.I’m sure there are others that are good, but Arlissa is AWESOME!”
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game

About: We have a 9 year old mixed breed and a 4 year old mixed breed. I have cared for many family members' and friends' animals. Skilled in training, grooming, and loving all breeds and sizes of dog! I am able to work from home during the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I am open to all schedules at this time. We own our home with a partially fenced yard and a dog line. My husband is also a dog-lover, and we are both very active with animals. Our dogs are very friendly with others, and they love to play and cuddle with friends.
About: I've been watching other people's animals since I was a child, but only listing my experience as 9 years as that's how long I've had my very own dog and cats. I cared for my dog from 9 months old until he was a sweet elderly gentleman, through cancer treatment, incontinence, and mobility issues. I'm not scared of any special needs a pup may have, in fact I love the need for extra attention. Oral medications, diapers and belly bands, needing help up off a hard floor, etc. I'm here for it. Although I have never administered injected medication, I am comfortable with the idea of learning how to do it and taking that on should the need arise. Professionally I have cared for animals ranging from 4 months old to senior years, and 5lbs to 150lbs. Not only am I a crazy dog lady, but also a crazy cat lady, bird lady, fish lady, reptile lady, etc. I truly love all creatures, big and small, young and old, furry or scaly and everything in between. I have my own large fish aquarium as well so I'm very comfortable with aquatic pets. I have cared for chickens and guineas as well. You have whole farm? I call that heaven 😊 I work from home full time so I can be in your home nearly full time as long as I have access to wifi :) i do have my own dog now once again (finally!), so as long as I can step out for around 4 hours on weekdays, I can be with your babies for the balance of the day. The more detailed the instructions I receive, the better! I can follow them to a tee. I understand that every home and every pet has unique needs and I'm excited to provide exceptional service! You have a whole dissertation written up detailing care needs? The more information for me, the better!
“Tori has been great with communication and flexibility, as well as taking care of my puppy. He loved her so much he cried for her when she left lol! We will definitely rebook in the future.”

Because safety is my top priority, I only accept dogs that are friendly, social, and well-behaved around other dogs. Your pup will enjoy tons of supervised playtime on our fully fenced-in acre of land, including separate fenced areas for independent play and relaxation if needed. I believe every dog deserves love, attention, enrichment, and lots of fun while you’re away. I also offer free light grooming for overnight stays if requested, and I love making homemade pet treats for my furry guests! Animal rescue and helping pets in need has always been close to my heart, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a safe, loving, and fun home away from home I am a stay at home mommy so I have so much free time on hands to care for your babies ! I have a golden retriever that loves to play! I let all animals out as needed so works perfectly for your fur babies potty needs ! I’m available any time and any day I have multiple fenced in areas and a heated pet area in the garage to also bathe your babies in if needed! Your furry pets are welcome in my home during day and at night they will be put in my spare room to sleep safely at night

I’m available for house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits 7 days a week. I’m also an early riser, so if your pet is too, I’d be a great fit for you! I have plenty of room for dogs to run in the fenced in backyard. I also live in a great neighborhood to take your pup for a walk, and with your consent we can even go to the dog park nearby! At your home, I will follow any routines you have with your pets for feeding, potty, and play time.

About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
About: I am an Art grad student and currently working on my thesis at home. I have a 3 years old dog named Mischa, who is the best part of my life. I will provide everything for your dogs, the same as I provide for my dog. He is 90lb, so I am pretty okay with the huge dogs, when I take care of them I take them to a walk at least twice a day, pulse plays with them at home. If the owner is okay I would love to take them to the dog park with my dogs. I provide the same environments for your dogs when you are not around for a short time. I hope I get a chance to meet your dog. Thanks, Safa

“My pup absolutely loved her time with Daisy! She played and played and I loved getting videos and pictures from Daisy that gave me piece of mind that Kota was having so much fun during her stay! And Daisy graciously worked with me when my flight was delayed coming back home so that was wonderful not to be stressed picking the pup up after a long trip. Wonderful experience!!”
“Nicole was amazing! She was so responsive and updated me every day, multiple times on my pup! She sent me pictures and videos (as requested) and he LOVED it! She has a nice, open, and fenced yard. Her dogs were so sweet and got along great with my dog. I would 100% rebook with Nicole!”
“Amber is very good with Asher. He is a bit skittish and she knows how to handle him. Any other time I had taken Asher to be boarded, he came back a little different and less trusting. Not so with Amber. When I bring him home after being with her, he goes quickly back to his old self. I see no new behaviors.. He’s his lovable self and that says a lot for the care she gives him.”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“Ashlee was wonderful with my dogs. She loved on them like they were her own. One was a 5-month old puppy full of energy which required extra attention. She spoiled him and bought him to baby pool as she noticed that he loved water! She also bathe and washed bedding for both dogs before I picked them up. It was so nice not having to clean them when we got home. I highly recommend her if you want a worry free vacation.”
About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Kristol was very sweet and accommodating! Had a great backyard for Kobe to run around in and an equally energetic pint sized friend for him to play with! I received photos and updates regularly. Thank you so much for caring for my little guy over the weekend!”
“Karen was fantastic! My dogs, two larger breeds, enjoyed hanging out with her and the other dogs and got lots of outside time. I got pictures of my pups several times a day and she gave them rotisserie chicken with their meals. If I need my dogs watched again, I will definitely go back to her inbox!”
“Well Sadie must have had a good time she was wore out I'm sure with playing with the children I know she loves little children and dogs everything went well is expected”
“Such a kind and caring family. This was Shay's 1st time staying without us and she did wonderful. They made her feel loved and safe, which really put our minds at ease! Definitely will use in the future!”
“Kris takes wonderful care of my dog, Scout. I get daily pictures and updates. Her home is lovely and has a large back yard. Scout loves to visit and play frisbee with Kris and her dog, Baloo.”
About: We have a 9 year old mixed breed and a 4 year old mixed breed. I have cared for many family members' and friends' animals. Skilled in training, grooming, and loving all breeds and sizes of dog! I am able to work from home during the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I am open to all schedules at this time.
