“Trent took excellent care of our three pets while we were away. We have three pets, an older black lab Coal requires medication twice daily (thanks to some jerk running him over in the dog park parking lot), along with my wife’s two cats, Cooper & Murphy. Trent was completely reliable with his care routine, including using excellent judgement on the length of Coal’s three daily walks in last week’s extreme heat. What really impressed us was how quickly he connected with Murphy. She is extremely shy and cautious around new people, especially men, but she warmed up to Trent almost immediately and even sitting next to him to let him pet her - which is the highest praise we could give any pet sitter! Trent was easy to work and coordinate with, including being very responsive. His communication throughout our trip was outstanding. He kept us updated and sent wonderful photos that gave us such peace of mind knowing our quadrupeds were in great hands. His attention to detail and genuine care for our pets made our time away stress-free, evidently stress free for our pets as well given Murphy’s endorsement. We highly recommend Trent and will definitely be booking him again for future trips.”
“Katelyn is an excellent pet sitter, and she has taken extremely good care of my 15 yr. old “temperamental” cat. Katelyn is dependable, and she gives detailed reports & pics when she visits. Katelyn truly cares about the well-being of my cat. She is patient and understands cat behavior, which resulted in my cat warming up to her very quickly. We are lucky to have found Katelyn for our pet sitting needs!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat. My cat was comfortable with her from day one - which made me feel much more secure knowing that he was in good hands while I was away on my trip.”
About: Hey, use my code for $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/mahdoa39338 About me? I'm a WFH freelancer, and can choose my own hours. This leaves me wide open to help you and your pets on a call/text! Why me? I have loved, house-trained, and cared for nearly 25 cats and dogs over 45lbs. Several of my pets in my household needed end of life care or special medical treatment, too, which means I had extra love to give and ease their comfort. I have petsit for friends, family, and my extended network for the past 10yrs, and supported many of them through their special and unique needs and care. So, here I am, making it an official hobby. Because I am a part-time WFH freelancer, I have the flexibility to be more available and attentive for you and your pets! I'm always available, and LOVE giving PAWgress reports - pupdates and daily* mews! Reports are always more than just "daily" - pet content is a vital necessity ❤️ In any care with any pet, I listen to their expressions and behaviors for both their and my security. In your home, I will follow your pet's natural safe spaces to make sure that both of us have time and space to know each other better, which doesn't disrupt their normal routine, and keeps us both comfortable and safe. It is important for me to always listen to your pet's and your needs and concerns, more than just for safety, but also fun! This means I will need information on your pet and your rules, expectations, and specific treatment and care.
“Kristin took care of my cat so well and I think my cat really liked her coming too! ? She always went to my place on time, and seems like she had a fair amount of time with my cat. I appreciate her help and I’m willing to choose her again for my cat!”

“Hieu and Anna were amazing! They took great care of my 2 energetic Australian Shepherds while I was out of town. They were wonderful at communicating and gave me updates.

About: Our family has owned several different types of dogs, from small to large we are a family that loves dogs. Currently have a 120 lb black lab that loves to play with any dog. We always take care of your dog like it was one of our own. We have a big fenced in backyard for play time and can do a couple walks per day if your furry friend needs/wants that. We can do short or long stays and always make sure your puppy is loved and has a great stay! I care for pets with love and trust, allowing them their space and play time is always keen and letting them be dogs is what means the most
“Steve did an outstanding job caring for our dog while we were on vacation. Steve was always on time for the walks and sent pictures and videos of our dog. It felt as if we were there with our dog. Steve went above and beyond by caring for our bird and watering our daughters plants while we were on vacation. Our dog is better trained too! We highly recommend Steve!”
About: Dogs love me. Owners trust me. I bring dependable, loving care with clear communication, fun adventures, and as many photo updates as you’d like—plus treats in my pocket, always! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life—raised in a home where dogs were family and teaching my husband and child the same. From senior rescues to 8-week-old puppies, I’ve cared for dogs of every age, size, and personality. What sets me apart is my ability to meet each dog exactly where they are. Playful pup? I’m down for tug, fetch, and zoomies. Shy or older dog? I offer a calm, quiet presence, gentle affection, and lots of patience. I always let the dog lead the way. Safety is my top priority: I double-clip leashes and harnesses on walks, use canine seat belts in the car, and I’m certified in Cat and Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross. I clip gps apple AirTags on each dog when we go for a walk for a “just in case” scenario. Thankfully I’ve never had to use them, but exercising an abundance of caution with your sweet pup is important. I take pride in offering not just great pet care, but great people care too. I’m highly responsive, punctual, and respectful of your space. I keep things clean, follow your instructions to the letter, and always check in if I have a question. Want tons of pictures and videos? I’m happy to send as many updates as you’d like—or just a few, if you prefer peace of mind with less pinging. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free, with a happy dog and a tidy, calm home to return to. And yes—it was me. I let the dogs out. And I’d love to take yours out too. As a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my sweet 4-year-old mixed breed pup and a teen aged human, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the one-on-one attention they deserve. Most days you’ll find me exploring local trails, visiting dog parks, or going on long walks. I’d love to add dog walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting to my daily routine. I’m happy to leave my dog at home to focus solely on your pup, or—if your dog enjoys the company—I can bring my friendly boy along for a playdate. Either way, your dog will get lots of love, exercise, and care. Whether I’m visiting your home or staying overnight, I aim to make your dog feel completely safe and relaxed in their own environment. I treat your pet like I do my own—with love, respect, and attentiveness. I follow your instructions carefully and take time to understand your dog’s routine and preferences. I’m all about enriching their day with whatever makes them happiest—whether that’s a game of tug, a quiet cuddle, a scent walk, or a few rounds of “find the treat.” We can stick to your neighborhood, explore nearby parks, or simply hang at home—it’s entirely up to you and your pup. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, exercised, and deeply cared for while you’re away.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of a variety of dogs and cats and love watching dogs in my home! We have an energetic and very friendly two-year-old dog Eddie that especially loves having dog friends stay over! I am very responsible and will communicate with you about your pet as much as you would like. I will only board one dog at a time, in addition to my dog so your pup will get lots of attention and care. Happy to have your pup sleep on the bed and relax on the couch with us! We do also have a senior cat in our home but we can easily keep him separated from your dog if needed or requested. He is very used to being around dogs however. I have availability between Thursday-Sunday when I will primarily be at home, however someone is always at home as my husband works remotely. We have a large fenced in backyard and also will take your dog on plenty of walks. And your dog will get a lot of playtime and exercise with my high energy dog Eddie and our two kids. I have a fenced in backyard and will also take your dog on walks. I will treat your dog as our own when they are in our home and we do allow dogs to sleep on the couches and beds. We also have a large and small crate available if your dog prefers a crate.

Tara g.
“I’ve known Tara for over five years, which in neighbor years is basically a lifetime. She’s my across the street neighbor and is the kind of person you’re always grateful lives nearby. And not just because she’ll crochet you a nearly life-size replica of your doggo (she will), but because she’s the one you’d call at 11 p.m. when you think your dog may have a tick on it and you’re spiraling. She’s funny, she’s smart, she’s solid. The kind of solid that reminds you that everything’s going to be okay just because she’s in the room. And you always know when Tara’s in the room. She walks in with this vibrant creative energy, like a one-woman Broadway show that’s somehow unscripted and always hilarious. She’s the kind of person who can turn a simple interaction into a laugh so hard you’re crying type of moment. And yet, underneath all that wit and sparkle, she’s quietly one of the most compassionate and caring people I know. When my kids were little, I used to tell them that if they ever got lost to look for a mom to help them. Tara is that mom. If my kids were lost, Tara is the type of person I hoped they would find. She’s someone who will crouch down to their level, smile, and say exactly the right thing. It’s not performative. It’s not rehearsed. It’s just who she is. So if you’re wondering whether to trust Tara with your beloved fur baby, wonder no more. She’ll show up on time, probably with treats, and she’ll talk to your doggo like it’s a real person (I know this firsthand). She’s smart and thoughtful and tuned in to notice if something’s off. Tara is a gem, and your fur baby will adore her because animals, like people, know genuine goodness when they see it. That’s Tara.”
Alyssa K.
“Aly is a wonderful person that is great with animals. She is a pet owner herself and treats all her pets with the love they deserve. She is friendly, professional, and most of all dependable. I have trusted her with my pets many times and have always been more than satisfied.”
West Springfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Yan took great care of my cat, Doc. I was feeling a little guilty about leaving him, but the adorable pictures she'd take of him playing & eating made me feel better when I was on the other side of the world. All in all, Doc was in great shape, and Yan made sure he had everything he needed: food, water, and playtime! If you're worried about finding a reputable sitter, look no further than Yan!
Steve has continued to be an excellent sitter for our dog Shannon. Shannon developed a medical condition that required our return to take her to the vet. Steve alerted us to the situation and sent us information that allowed us to make a sound decision to return. Thanks Steve. You are the best! Shannon is doing great now.
Thank you Isabelle! I appreciate you helping us last minute and on a Holiday on top of that! You saved us… ❤️❤️❤️ Isabelle is not only responsible but also very sweet to our fur babies!!! They love her so much. You can tell from all the pictures! I totally recommend her for your babies. Until next time! Have a great summer 🥰
Alanna is the best communicator and definitely one of the best dog sitters in this W. Springfield neighborhood. There are some dog sitters in Cardinal Forest who don’t even return a message 😬. Alanna loved my dog Jack and remained flexible when he ended up sick. She really knows how to love up on dogs and isn’t anxious or fearful of them, a must to be a dog sitter, but surprisingly not as common as you’d think. She’s definitely going into my Rolodex!
