About: I have had pets my entire life. Since moving to Springfield, I have helped multiple friends take care of their pets while they have traveled. I have experience with kittens and puppies all the way up to Great Danes. I currently have two pit bulls, a shiba inu and a ball python at home. Every pet and every home is different. You can trust that I will handle instructions exactly. I approach every animal slowly and with the respect they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I’m able to work pet visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while I’m there.
“Mariah did wonderful with my cats while I was away. She communicated, and provided wonderful feedback on how the cats were doing. She was available on some short notice which also made working with her super easy and great.”
“Adrienne was fantastic! We have a pretty anxious cat and she can be fiesty. She gave us updates during each visit, and was super respectful of our cat’s boundaries. Her top priority was making sure our cat felt comfortable while we were on our trip. I definitely would recommend her!”
“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”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with nearly four years of hands-on work as a kennel technician, ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also completed specialized training and worked at Hounds Town Springfield South, so I’m well-versed in maintaining clean, secure environments and managing playgroups. Safety is my top priority. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I’m available all weekends, as well as before 12 PM and after 5:30 PM on weekdays, but I occasional work as early as 8 AM. With nearly four years of professional experience as a kennel technician and at a pet resort, I provide reliable care, feeding, and attention to keep your furry friend happy and safe. When caring for your pets in your home, I ensure their daily routine is maintained with the utmost attention to their comfort and safety. I provide reliable feeding, fresh water, thorough litter box or outdoor care, and plenty of playtime and affection.
About: Hello! My name is Samantha, or Sam. I am a huge animal lover in general, dogs and cats especially. My personal experience goes back to my childhood days of helping take care of the family pets, all the way to current date of caring for my own fur babies. I have 10+ years experience of caring for and walking dogs for friends, family and co-workers. I have cared for and walked dogs of all ages and sizes. I am a Safe Space person and apart of the LGBTQ+ community. I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to be available to you and your furry friend's every need! Walks will be no less than 30 minutes long, ensuring your dog(s) gets all the physical activity needed for the day. Can provide up to 2 walks per day. Drop-in visits will include feeding, watering, allowing a potty break and a 30 minute play break. Can provide up to 2 drop-ins per day. I am currently working as a caregiver to my mom, allowing a relatively flexible schedule. Just message me and we can work something out together! I currently live in a one bedroom apartment with two cats, so I am not able to board any pets with me. At your house, I will follow all house rules you have and dedicate my time to giving love and attention to your pet.
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: I have helped my newfie give birth 4 times. I have done all the nitty gritty. I will do whatever it takes to take care of my girl. I take better care of her than I do myself. She only gets filtered clean cold water. She has the highest quality dog food and treats. She has an orthopedic memory form bed to sleep on. She has a custom harness with her name and my number. I promise I will take care of your animal just as well as I take care of mine. I work full time. From 7-3 but after I am free. I can let your dog out before work and after. Spend the evening there if needed. Walk, water, feed, and administer medicine. I have an orthopedic memory foam bed because my dog is big. She gets filtered, cold water. Highest quality kibble. Salmon skin for dog treats. Daily walks.
About: I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their unique needs. I have experience with puppy training (potty, crate, and leash basics) and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience or medication support. I also provide regular updates so you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. I am working full time but will be able to tend to your animals within my given availability! Your animal will be in great hands When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate time, and any training reinforcement — so the transition feels smooth and stress-free. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine. I stick to detailed care instructions, provide plenty of attention and exercise, keep litter boxes or yards clean, and send regular updates with photos. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and cared for just like you would at home.
About: I have 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.
About: I have grown up having pets all of my life and raised and trained them. Many family members have relied on me to take care of their pets while they were away as well. Currently playing college baseball. I am working towards my masters degree right now which is all online, so I am home most of the day until practice. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with two outdoor dog parks. I will make sure to keep your dog entertained with a full belly!
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!
“KJ has been so amazing to work with! Always available for my travel dates, even over holidays. She's been super patient when my pet opts to not come home on time and goes the extra mile to make sure she's safe. I highly recommend her if she's in your area.”
“Lynette is totally awesome She can handle our large great dane better than anyone I know Our maincoon just loves her....And he has appropriately trained her where the treats are”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Samantha!!! My mom lives in Aurora Mo and I live 9 hours away in Wisconsin, my mom ended up in the hospital and I had no one to go let her dogs out. Samantha answered my message for help in just minutes saying she could assist with taking care of the dogs. She was even able to let them out and feed them the SAME NIGHT as my distress message. Set up 2 more visits for the next day as well because my dad wouldn’t be home until later that night. Samantha made me feel so at ease with entering my mom’s house without meeting her, taking care of my mom’s dogs that are her babies and locking back up! I was grateful for the pictures she sent of them so I knew they did indeed go potty. I sent the pictures to my mom and she cried knowing they were being well taken care of. Samantha thank you for being my hero and taking such good care of Dezi and Rowdy while my mom was in the hospital on such extremely short notice!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and am rarely not taking care or around them. Many friends and neighbors have relied on me to watch their pets overnight, feed, walk, and most importantly give them love and attention while their owners are gone. I work part-time and have plenty of time to watch your pets! I never work overnight and I will be able to love and give your pups and pets plenty of attention and affection even if I work! I live in a fenced in home with a kitty cat named Gigi and two fur babies named Zues and Remi who love meeting new pups and will help distract your pup from missing you too much! We have a pool and outdoor area (fenced in) that the pups here loved to chill outside and sunbathe or take a dip in the pool! Our pups are spoiled and so will your pup if you decide to choose me as your sitter!
About: Growing up my family had 3 dogs at the minimum. On top of that of that I grew up on a farm so I'm used to taking care of lots of different animals. I love animals and love exercise so it's a perfect fit. I have a part time job I have to work around. but there's usually a few hours a day I can take care of your best friends. I don't offer a pet sitting service.But I would happily visit your home, take your animal on a walk and feed them, give them water, and make sure they are as comfortable as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Battlefield
Ashton always goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our puppy, Rango. Rango is mischievous and still learning, and having a puppy takes a ton of patience something Ashton has in abundance. He always cleans up any accidents, plays with Rango to make sure he’s tired out while we’re at work, and consistently uses positive reinforcement so Rango doesn’t form bad habits. He is always on time and always communicates super well. It’s clear he genuinely cares and puts in extra effort every single visit. We couldn’t ask for a better caretaker. We appreciate you and highly recommend Ashton!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Battlefield is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Battlefield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Battlefield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Battlefield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
