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
“Katelyn did an amazing job! She was very kind and easy to work with. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was looking after my cat, and I felt comfortable having her in my home. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Ever since we rescued our first dog when I was a teenager, I have felt a special bond with these amazing creatures. While I am not a professional trainer, I have attended beginner and intermediate dog training classes with my own pups and will happily enforce any training you already have in place in your household. I will also spoil your dog rotten if you wish. Whatever you say goes! Dog care is currently my primary source of employment and my schedule is incredibly flexible, so I will easily be able to accommodate any schedule. I we'll be happy to come visit and walk with your dog, rain or shine. While I did not list doggie daycare or overnight stays on my list of services, I do have a fenced-in backyard and small house with plenty of comfy spots for doggies to sleep. However, we would have to arrange a meet-and-greet with my own small dog first.
“Katie was amazing! We were really nervous about leaving our sweet pups but she took amazing care of them and provided us with photos and updates during every visit. She went above and beyond and put our minds at ease so we weren’t worried about our babies the entire trip. She brought packages inside and even washed a load of laundry for our pup that has to wear diapers. I couldn’t make a higher recommendation if I tried. We will absolutely be hoping to have her back for our next trip!”
“Micheal & Jackie went out of their way to follow my very detailed 1 page instructions for our 2 dogs, cat, chickens and goose. I could tell they cared about my animals. They also did great with our large, sometimes scary and protective, dog. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to others.”
About: I've always had a love for dogs! And thankfully I have friends and family that trust me to house sit while they are out of town. I do have another part-time job, its very early in the morning. So my availability will be open after 3pm. Monday-Saturday. Sundays are completely open. For my friends and family its usually at their place, I myself live alone so would have completely no distraction. Also live very close to a dog park.
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.
“Aliyah was recommended to us by some friends, and we are so happy she was available to check-in on our sweet kitty while we enjoyed our honeymoon! It was so nice to receive photos and updates throughout the week, giving us one less thing to worry about on our trip. I would completely recommend her to watch your babies!!”
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.

About: I don’t just love animals, I try to master their behavior with science, operant conditioning, and rescue devotion. Heart + lab rat expertise = unstoppable! Id like to stick to school schedules. some weekends are ok as long as they are noticed in advance. typically an 8-4 schedule on days My animals trust me completely because I’ve conditioned safety through gentle handling, predictable routines, and positive reinforcement. They done flinch; since I’m their secure base.
“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!!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cave Spring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 428 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cave Spring. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cave Spring. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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.
