“Taylor is fantastic! Taylor has been doing drop ins for my dogs and the pups have really enjoyed having Taylor come over and spend time with them! So grateful!”
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was young. I have volunteered at Pet Rescue centers and I have dog walked and was a sitter for many people in my community. I want to become more active and dog walking will help. I love to play fetch, walk dogs and if they are down to cuddle we can do that too! I’m a huge Dog Lover and I will do my best to give your dog a fun and enjoyable time. I am pretty flexible in the evenings every day and I will be available during most weekends. This is something I love to do so please feel free to contact me and I would love to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently pretty flexible with my schedule. I work part-time from home and I have a morning routine but fairly flexible schedule during the daytime. I enjoy dog walking in the safer areas within the city with plenty of space for each of the dogs to roam, explore and play.
About: I want to be able to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment where your pets can get the love and attention they deserve just like mine. I've always love dogs. Right now I have a female corgi which is adorable and love her so much. I'd be delighted to come to your home to walk your dog, take him/her to Vet or to a grooming appointment. Please let me know any medical conditions your pup may have. Any special needs. What the rules are at your house, also I require your pups to be vaccinated and treated with fleas and tick medication.
“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”
“Sierra was amazing! She took such great care of my cat. Not only did she follow the directions I provided meticulously, she even went above and beyond and cleaned the wet food bowl. Needless to say I’ll certainly book Sierra again in the future!”
“Catie helped us take care of our 4-month old puppy when our roommate (and dog caretaker) went out of town. Catie was super responsive and flexible and followed the care directions really well. We really appreciated her help!”
“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”
“Sheila was amazing with our three dogs. She kept us updated and she was flexible. Three dogs is a lot, but she was amazing. We will have her watch them again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 5 years old. Growing up with animals has conditioned me to love and care for every animal like it’s my own! I have had large dogs and small dogs. I have special needs animal experiences as one of my dogs had diabetes which required medication and special diets. I have a part time job so I am free most days. Although the part time job is mostly in 4-6 hour shifts which gives me flexibility to care for animals as well I have a fenced in yard and great trails near my house for walking! I live in a quiet neighborhood so loud noises won’t be an issue. I do have two younger brothers 5/6 who live in the house but are used to animals.
About: I have had pets my whole life and worked with others pets for 5 years. I have had experience with elderly , blind, and special medical needs animals as well as healthy ones. I think all animals are special and I enjoy getting to know them and taking care of them. I also have experience with rabbits,cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I am currently working part time. I am a single person with plenty of time to spend with your fur Babies. While you are on vacation. I will work with you as to the best way you feel you would like me to watch your pet. I can stay there the whole time or if you prefer I can come two or three times per day. I can collect mail, if you would like. I am very flexible and do what you feel comfortable with.
“Lina is an outstanding pet sitter. I was nervous to find a new sitter when we moved to the area due to having several pets with behavioral and/or medical needs, but Lina is extremely skilled at what she does. My nervous and reactive dog warmed up to her so quickly during our meet and greet, and my usually shy kitties came to greet her every visit. Lina has such a warm and welcoming energy. She leaves such thorough reports, along with sweet pictures of all my pets after each visit. She even noted a medical concern that I had forgotten to previously mention. She is so attentive, and I’m grateful to have her care for my pets.”
About: We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family. We let our own mammals out once every two hours. We also feed our animals twice a day about 12 hours apart. We make sure they are well exercised and rested. There is a large fenced in area for horses that we converted to our own private dog park. We will follow the rules of your home should you need a stop in. If your mammals stay with us, we will treat them as our own, and per your instructions.
“Lori is an absolutely amazing care person, and a perfect professional. She knew exactly what to do when my dog misbehaved, and took perfect care of her while I was away. I look forward to working with her more in the future, and am eternally grateful.”
About: I've had pets—cats, dogs, etc.—for the majority of my 34 years on earth. Today, my wife and I have 2 dogs, Abbie (an 8-year-old pit mix) and Scout (a 2-year-old husky-shepherd mix). Both our pups are rescues! I have experience administering oral medication. Both of our pups are medicated for anxiety, so I'm quite comfortable with most medication. I also have some experience administering medication to cats. I work from home as a product designer, so my schedule is quite flexible. I typically let the pups out first thing each morning at around 8am, work through the day, but take periodic breaks for potty breaks and playtime. I'm flexible enough to pivot based on the needs of your pet! First and foremost, I have a conversation with every client to determine their comfort level with things like walks...some things I ask to get started: 1. Does your pet get along with other animals? If not, what are the circumstances or triggers? Abby, for example, doesn't do well with larger dogs because she was bullied as a puppy, so we avoid those triggers to keep her safe. 2. Is your pet a chunky muffin who is being calorie-restricted? Or is it challenging to get them to eat anything, period? 3. How does your pet handle on a leash? Should I watch out for lunging? Do they chase postal service workers? 4. Does your pet chew things that could be dangerous, like electrical cables? These questions help me keep your pet safe and happy at all times!
“Nedia is absolutely amazing. My pup loves her so much and they had such a great time together. She is so sweet and considerate and I feel so good knowing she’s checking in and hanging out with him! The absolute best!! If you’re looking for someone to book she is the one!!! 🤍”
“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

Leaving my dogs behind while out of town for six days was a first for me, so I was naturally pretty nervous going into the process. I interviewed several people before meeting Velkin in person. My girlfriend and I hosted her for a meet and greet, and her genuine, welcoming presence stood out immediately. There was nothing fake or performative about her. She has the kind of ground-level authenticity that puts you at ease right away. My Chihuahuas took to her immediately as well, which said everything. If you know anything about Chihuahuas, they do not warm up to strangers quickly, if at all. Hiring her was an easy decision, and she did not disappoint. She came by twice a day to handle feeding, water, outdoor time, and spending quality time with them. Beyond basic care, she treated my dogs like her own. I received regular photos and detailed updates after her visits, giving me complete peace of mind. I also felt totally comfortable giving her unfettered access to my home while I was away. On top of everything, she was remarkably flexible. When I came home a day early, she was gracious enough to modify the booking and remove that final day. Since she had reserved that slot for me, it would have been completely fair for her to charge for the full six days, so that gesture was unexpected and extremely kind. Velkin did a phenomenal job, and I have zero regrets about hiring her. She provides world class service, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I travel. Thanks again Velkin. You rock :) Jose, Stephanie, Lucy, & Waffles
Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)
Rachel was the best! She is competent and communicative. It was easy to go out of town because she loved on my dog and sent wonderful photos and fun stories about their adventures! Both my boys are older (13 and almost 15) and one has 3 legs. She was great at keeping my reactive big dog calm and he loved all her cuddles and treats and trips outside! She comforted my small tripod through the thunderstorm and he greatly appreciated her lifting him up onto the couch for snuggles and her carrying him home when he got tired after she let him explore and sniff out all his fave places. Thanks and the boys say woof!
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!
Many thanks, Samantha! So grateful we connected here. She’s been so good to and with my dog. He’s a grumpy old guy but she’s won him over :). She’s been great at keeping us in the loop with updates and pics, responsive to what he’s in the mood for (eg walk v hanging in the yard) and keeping an eye on how he’s doing. Really appreciate her working us into her schedule as we quickly became one of her regular clients. Highly recommend Samantha!
Krysta was communicative and extremely responsive before, during, and after planning and check ins with our big dog. She shared photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our pup was happy and relaxed with her! We lost connection while away and though we got it resolved, she even offered to come back and check things out. We really appreciated her services and resolve to make sure Meeko was taken care of.
Ella was absolutely amazing with my dog Chewbacca over the weekend! She treated my little boy with so much love, care, and respect the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Chewbacca was so happy and comfortable with her, and you can truly tell she genuinely loves animals. Communication was great, she was very kind, attentive, and went above and beyond. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Springfield is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $33 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 14,971 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Springfield. 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 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!
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 North Springfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Springfield. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
