“Second time we have used Katherine and she was great again. Sent daily pics and updates for our dog. We are very happy with her overnight boarding services!”


“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”


“Shirley is the best petsitter! These aren’t just empty words—we’ve had sad experiences before, but with Shirley, everything changed. Our Dema was so happy and comfortable with her! We finally had peace of mind, knowing our baby was under careful and loving supervision. Shirley sent us updates and photos three times a day, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about our pug. Her place is perfectly set up for pets, with plenty of toys, cozy beds, and all the conditions needed to make them feel at home. Thank you so much, Shirley! We will definitely trust you with Dema again and recommend you to all our friends!”


“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”


“This is the second time Linda has watched my pups and they always have a great time with her. She is very quick to respond & sends updates frequently.

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: Tengo experiencia cuidando el perrito de mi hija por 10 años. No trabajo y estamos en casa el mayoría del día. Tengo una perrita Pom que se porta muy bien con otros perritos No trabajo y cuando salimos siempre es por unas cuantas horas. Cuando salimos aseguramos que el perrito sale al baño y tiene todo lo que necesita Tenemos yarda muy grande con fence. Los perritos pueden salir cuando quieran. Tengo una perrita Pom que se porta muy bien con otros perritos y hace bien compañía.

“My dog Ellie semed to have a good time there. Susseth sent lots of pictures and video of her. Her two dogs played very nice with my pup. Definitely recommend!”


“Ann was so good communicating with us and sending photos. Our dog was very happy and comfortable staying there. Would definitely use again and recommend!!”


About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm unavailable Monday through Friday between 10pm and 3am. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am also available on most weekends and holidays. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a very large, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

Over 26 pet parents in Willow Springs have booked dog boarding
Willow Springs dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ethel has been a wonderful caregiver for our Pammy while we are out of town. She is very communicative and understanding of our slightly older dog's needs. Ethel is obviously concerned for our dog's comfort and well being and we are very grateful! We will definitely board with her again. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Chloe. She and her boyfriend took great care of our little boy during our trip. Communications were easy. They are very detailed and took the time to learn about our boy’s habits & likes/dislikes to make sure he has a comfortable stay. We would definitely have them watch our boy again.

I can’t say enough about Sarai. She’s easily the best sitter I’ve ever had. I had a nightmare sitter I found here on rover and I was worried leaving my babies with another sitter using this service but Sarai reassured me and she delivered. She always gave me updates and my babies looked really happy and calm with her. I’m sure they’ll miss her.
