“Julia is amazing! I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog and cats. She sent me updates and pictures on every visit and I definitely appreciated that. She is the best and I strongly recommend her! ❤️”
“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”
“Monique was wonderful with our senior cat; administered medicine & provided daily updates. She’s knowledgeable & gave me a great suggestion about her diet as she had become finicky. I hope to book Monique on a regular basis. Thank you Monique!”
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.
“Mia was so good to TJ, lots of attention, handled new feeding instructions and his potty accidents well! He was relaxed and happy when I returned - rare for him.”
“It was a quick and simple visit, but Caitlin went above and beyond to take care of my kitties. She spent time with them and even sent me pictures of them eating their food. Top notch sitter!”
“We are repeat customers of Kristine which says a lot. Pippa was well cared for and comfortable. Kristine was flexible as our needs changed. We will be calling her again. Thank you!”
“I was floored by how attentive and engaged Jessica was with our two elderly kitties. She took extra time to earn their trust, and after a week in her care they were utterly devoted. One of the two particularly suffers when I’m absent for extended periods, and she took extra care with him. Her daily updates were informative and gave me clear indication of whether she was concerned/ not concerned for the small issues that cropped up (furballs and etc). She has my highest recommendation!”
About: Hello! My name is Kyle, I'm 29 years old, and I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I've lived with dogs on and off since I was 6 years old, and I have done occasional pet sitting for friends and family. The highlight of my trips visiting family is always running around the yard with their dogs. Though I have less experience with cats, I currently live with 4 and love them almost as much as dogs. I am eager to gain more experience with a wider variety of cats and dogs, and I hope I get the opportunity to spend time with your furry friends! I am physically fit and have plenty of energy to walk and play with them. I would like to work with pets full-time. Currently, my only job is gig work, so I am available just about anytime for walks and drop-ins. Although I prefer to not work before 10am, I am willing to make an exception for the right client. For pet/home sitting, I will need to leave for 2-4 hours at a time during the day for gig work (food delivery, dog walking, drop-in pet visits), but can then return to your home for potty breaks and short walks. I can provide longer walks in the mornings and evenings, as well as plenty of play time. If you have cats, I will clean litter boxes at least once every day, and more often if needed. I will take care of your pet according to your instructions. I have lots of experience entering and exiting doors without letting eager pets escape, and I am strong enough to hold on to a large dog's leash. As an additional safety measure, I will use a waist-mounted leash during walks, so there is no risk of my grip slipping from the leash.
“Emily was great, highly responsive and always went above and beyond. She was very flexible and was able to accommodate requests for additional visits. She ensured my two fur babies were well loved and played with the entire time I was gone.”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.
“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - North Springfield
morgan was amazing! they took great care of my two cats while i was out of town. they were respectul of my home and kept it clean. my cats were well loved and fed, and the pictures they took were very helpful. i will rebook with morgan if i need this service again!
Ashley did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while we were gone for 10 days. She went above and beyond caring for them. On a super hot day she left extra water bowls out for them, and also thoughtfully took my garbage out that was starting to smell from too many kitty wet food cans. I looked forward to her picture updates each day and she always communicated when something was needed to be shared. Her care and attention to detail was top notch. I highly recommend Ashley and would book again. Thank you Ashley!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Springfield on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 481 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
