“Destiny was wonderful. She watched all 5 of our animals. 1 cat, 2 senior Chihuahuas and 2 puppies. That is not an easy task. Upon returning home I could tell they were all well taken care of. The house was clean (which isn't easy with 2 puppies) and she even left music in for them when she left. A kind soul that I will absolutely trust my animals with again.”
“Rosa was so wonderful with my two cats, she took her time to make them feel comfortable and gave them lots of attention. She did a great job of sending photos and providing updates to keep me posted on how the visit was going. I will definitely book Rosa as a pet sitter again in the future!”
“Shay was a very caring and compassionate cat sitter and helped us immensely with our injured kitty. It's great to know we have someone we can trust that can care for Happy and highly recommend.”
“Amy house sat our two big dogs while we were out of town. She is a fantastic communicator and she clearly loves dogs! She is very professional and thorough, asked us tons of questions about our habits and preferences regarding our dogs. While we were gone she sent photos daily and little updates. Highly recommend, will definitely use again! Thanks Amy!”
About: Im a lifelong dog lover with four dogs of my own. Active, reliable, flexible, and experienced with puppies. I’ll treat your pup like family. I work for myself, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to provide your dog with attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks and companionship. I’m unable to host other dogs in my home because I have four dogs of my own, but I’m happy to provide care through walks, drop-ins, and house sitting.
“Elora really helped us out when our previous sitter was beyond disappointing. It means so much to have someone love your pets when you are away. We feel very confident in her abilities to take care of our babies like we would. Will for sure reach out to her again!”
“Joshua was wonderful with my two dogs! He provided tons of updates and sent pictures throughout the stay so I could check in! Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
About: Caring for pets has been an important part of my life for as long as I remember and I know how important it is that our furry family members get the best care when we are away. From daily feeding, playtime, and training to handling medications, vet visits, trips to the emergency vet, I've done it all. I volunteer weekly at the Greenhill Humane Society socializing shy and nervous cats and have completed a course in pet CPR and first aid. With an 18-month-old boxer of my own, I know all about working with exuberant dogs and puppies and am always learning new training techniques to help with enrichment and obedience. A few things I would like every pet parent to provide me before I care for their pet. We can discuss this, and anything that I missed, when we first meet. - Expected arrival and departure dates and time - Emergency contacts besides yourself - Feeding schedule and instructions, including treats allowed - Health conditions to be aware of - Detailed medication instructions if needed - Name and address of their vet - Closest emergency vet - Pet temperament (fears, anxieties, etc) - Toys and favorite games - Where pet(s) sleep - Where they are and are not allowed in the house or yard (if dog) Dog: - Their potty habits - Equipment such as harnesses, leashes, poop bags, treats etc. - Anything I need to know about their behavior outside of the home (walking, in the car, around other animals and people) - Crate rules (if used) House (if housesitting): - Alarm instructions if applicable - Trash, recycling, and mail/package handling - Location of pet supplies - Location of thermostats, electrical panels, laundry, etc. - Wifi password, remote controls, etc. - Any service professionals who might visit during the stay (cleaners, yard maintenance, etc.) - Expectations around plants, mail, clean-up before your return I'm retired from the UO, so outside of my volunteer hours (~6 hours/week), my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with the schedule that suits your pets needs. Meeting your pet's needs is my highest priority, whether it is playtime, quiet affection, a long walk, or simple companionship. I ask that all pet owners leave detailed instructions on their pet's needs, including what treats they can have, medications required, how they like to play, what actions or situations might cause anxiety, and all information for vet care and emergency contacts.
About: I have always loved animals! I have taken care of many animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and types!! Anything you need I can do and will do happily! I am completely available during the entire week I would just have to work around my classes which I have very large breaks in between each for! Whenever I am petsitting I always leave the house cleaner than I found it, and make sure the pets are fed and have clean water and have been taken out and used the bathroom
“Julia is a fantastic sitter! This is the second time I’ve worked with her but this was the first time she’s stayed overnight and it was a holiday! She’s so reliable, cares about your dogs and gives good updates and lots of pictures! She’s also very good at giving meds to a sometimes difficult dog and when my dog got an upset stomach, she communicated with me right away. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her!! We will definitely be working with Julia again!”
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am passionate about their well-being. In addition to caring for my own dog, Archie for the past three years, I also foster dogs through two local rescue organizations, including medical-case dogs that require extra patience, attention, and care. I graduated from Oregon State University in 2021 and earned my master’s degree from USC in 2025. I work fully remote from my home in Eugene, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether you’re looking for drop-in visits, house sitting, or boarding, I want to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My dog is incredibly friendly and enjoys meeting new furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own! I work remote full time 8-4. I usually have only 1-2 meetings a day and am available to play/walk at lunch and take breaks for meal times! Your pet would be supervised all day! I have a fully fenced back yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company! I can also crate your pup at whatever times you like to keep a routine! If I’m caring for pets in your home I’ll follow your exact routine, be with your pet all day, and keep your house clean!
“Claire was an amazing sitter, couldn’t recommend more! My dog Evie didn’t want her to leave! Claire was very communicative, flexible with my arrival back, and was a joy to work with.”
“Another sitter in Rover canceled last minute and we found Kasandra and asked if she could do an overnight the next day. She agreed and did an amazing job keeping our dog and cat safe and happy. We don’t leave our dog a whole lot so we needed lots of updates to keep us at ease and she delivered. She sent pictures and updates and left the house clean and as we left it. We’ll certainly ask her to take care of our fur babes again! Thanks, Kasandra!”
“Erin was great, even when things had to change. Something in our house set off Erin's allergies, and made it difficult for her to stay there. So she brought Tucson to her apartment, where he was happy, mellow and snuggly! This has inspired us to board him from now on, so he can relax while we are away!”
“Leigh was amazing! Our Monty was so comfortable with her. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. It was great to see how relaxed and happy he was. We look forward to working with Leigh again and we highly recommend her services!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved just being around animals. While I'm away from home, I'd love to spend some time with dogs and help give them the best possible time I can! I'm a college student, so my schedule shifts a bit with the seasons, but pet care fits in easily either way. Over the summer, I'm home essentially all day, every day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins whenever they're needed. This fall, I'll be taking classes again, but since they're online and my schedule is very flexible, I'll still have plenty of availability throughout the day. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I've spent a lot of time caring for others' animals and understand how much consistency and attention matters. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine, whether that means a set feeding schedule, a mid-day walk, or just extra company during the day. Since I offer dog walking and house sitting/drop-in visits rather than boarding, most of my pet care happens in the client's home and neighborhood, so I always make safety and comfort a top priority there. Before any visit, I like to get a clear understanding of the pet's routine, any commands they know, leash behavior, and specific instructions from the owner. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of traffic and other animals, and avoid unfamiliar areas that could pose risks. For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat the client's home with the same care and respect as I would my own, making sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are refreshed as needed, and any medications or special routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for while they're away. At my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets or young kids, which makes it easy to give a visiting dog calm, focused attention with minimal distractions or safety concerns.
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Springfield is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Springfield
Absolutely wonderful experience with Caitlin! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier! Her communication was fantastic. She was professional, thoughtful and a great house sitter overall. Most importantly, all of our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Caitlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
Madison was a fantastic sitter for our pups. We received updates daily and she gave us peace of mind. She was also an excellent communicator from the first interaction until the end of the stay. We came home and the house was in order and best of all we had very happy pups. Thank you for caring for pups, we appreciate you.
Jackson has watched my pup twice now, and he is such an awesome person! He sends me lots of updates and is so kind and flexible. I know my dog gets a bit disappointed when I come home because I am definitely more boring 😅 I am so grateful for your services and love, and I hope to see you again!
Kelsie does an amazing job with the dogs and the house. She went above and beyond and we are so pleased we found her. We are VERY PICKY about our house and even more particular about our fur babies. We were overseas and felt very at ease having her in charge of both our home and our two dogs. Kelsie is one of the best!!
Alyssa and Eve were fantastic to work with. Our pups had the best time with them. We received frequent updates throughout their stay. We so appreciated the special care they took for our guy Dublin. He had an ear issue and had bunch of different medications to take. They ensured he received everything he needed and kept us updated on how he was doing. Lily our other pup gained two new friends and she was overjoyed. The house was all in order and we truly appreciated that when we arrived home after a long trip. We look forward to have them sit for us again. Thank you so much!!
Ellisa took such great care of our senior dog in our home while we took a ten day vacation out of state. She went above and beyond in looking out for our old girl, our fish pond and our home while we were away. We definitely will request her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, efficient and trustworthy pet care giver. Thanks so much Ellisa, you’re awesome!
We could not be happier with Eric's care for Sadie (and our home). When we met with Eric for an initial interview, his professionalism was evident; and Sadie snuggled right up to him. His reassuring energy meant she was happy to see us after a week without being frantic. We will request Eric's care again. We are so grateful.

The average cost of House Sitting in North Springfield is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $74 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Springfield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Springfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 North Springfield 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
