“She always arrives on time, follows all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, makes our dog Coco so happy. We trust her completely with Coco’s walks, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young child and enjoy playing and walking dogs and ensuring they receive all the love and attention. I’m currently going to school and have time to walk and play with your pet to ensure they receive the best care possible. I am around everyday and on weekends unless I’m traveling. I will take your pet to the dog park or a long walk or daily runs depending on their type of exercise needs. I currently do not have a pet.
“Maura is amazing with my dog! She is super reliable, friendly, kind, and excellent with communication. My dog gets so excited when she arrives, and I always know he’s getting a great walk, plenty of exercise, and all the pets :) Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”
About: As fellow rover users we understand just how important it is to find the right fit for your fur baby! We’re both avid dog lovers who would love to drop in to make your day easier. We have both owned both large and small breeds our whole lives and are now the proud dog parents of two German shepherds. We have experience with medication administration, dietary restrictions, and reactivity. Jordan works full time as a pediatric nurse so has several days off a week and Guiness works full time Tues-Fri. We have morning availability from 7-1pm and evening from 7:30-10pm. And full availability Monday, Saturday, and Sunday. We do not currently offer in home services but are happy to come to you. We enjoy playing with dogs and letting them out of their crate to stretch their legs, walking, potty breaks, mealtime, and general enrichment.
About: I’ve been a passionate animal caretaker for many years to the point that I became one professionally! I’d love to watch your pet and ensure they are happy and healthy. I’m currently a mom to a 7 month old German Shepherd/Husky mix and I am working towards a Core Skills Dog Training Certification from CATCH. I am currently in between zookeeping jobs, so I am available all days of the week to help care for your furry friends! I am very passionate about animal care, and walking or dropping by to check on your pet would allow me to keep up my caretaking skills. I’m attentive to pet’s needs and look out for anything out of the ordinary. My quality of work is your pet’s quality of life, and I take that seriously. I’m able to care for your pet however you would like at your home!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years and have a dog of my own, Lola. I enjoy walking, playing with, and taking care of dogs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m used to taking care of my own dog and can easily fit walks, feeding, and playtime into my daily routine. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I also make sure to give each dog plenty of attention and keep their environment clean and safe.
About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve had experience caring for pets of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. From my own pets to caring for family, friends’, and other people’s animals, I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care! I’m also very active and have a genuine love for exercise and the outdoors, which makes spending time with energetic pets especially enjoyable for me! Whether it’s going for a long walk, exploring a new trail, playing outside, or simply getting some fresh air together, I’m always excited to make exercise and adventure part of your pet’s day. I’m happy to match the activity level to each pet’s individual needs and personality. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member and make their time with me fun, active, and comfortable! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason University. Pet care will easily fit into my schedule as I only have classes Monday 7-10pm, Tuesday 4-7pm, and Thursday 7-10pm. Other prior commitments include babysitting every Tuesday from 8am-2pm. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I've been pet-sitting for different families for the past three years, and I also have experience caring for animals on a farm. I love being around animals and making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I'm happy to work around each pet's needs. I make time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets attention and care while their owners are away. I'm responsible, flexible, and enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, whether that means feeding them, playing with them, going on walks, or just spending time with them. I try to stick to their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure to follow any instructions the owners leave me and keep their space clean and safe.
“Amie texted me when she was on her way and showed up early to walk our 2 pups for the first time. They barked at her from the window but calmed down as soon as Amie came inside. Based on the pics, both pups looked happy and came back worn out (Amie was kind enough to walk them longer than expected)! Amie’s personality is very warm and welcoming. I very much appreciate her thoroughness (asking clarifying questions) and transparency (keeping me abreast of status). I look forward to having Amie take care of our 2 babies going forward 😊”
“Neida goes above and beyond for our pups! We are so happy to have found her and trust her completely with our two fur babies. She is both knowledgeable and communicative. We will certainly be using her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.
“I don't even know where to begin, but Jackie has been such an absolute BLESSING during a very tumultuous time where I have not been able to walk my dog, Sadie, due to having leg surgery and needing someone short notice. Never would I have thought that I would find my dog's godmother, but HERE WE ARE! Jackie is incredible with Sadie and Sadie is IN LOVE with Jackie. I used to work in vets myself and can feel Jackie's empathetic and beautiful nature when it comes to pets, and even my little demon hobbit cat loves her too and he is hard to please. Jackie is also aware of any inconsistencies with Sadie's behavior, potty breaks and has even checked for ticks as the spring gets nuts with those terrible creatures. We are going to be so sad that she won't be coming 3 times a day anymore, but Jackie has become an actual friend and Sadie and I plan to have visits. There is no way Sadie cannot be in Jackie's life and Jackie has expressed the same. We seriously love her so much and will still book with her when needed in the future. You could not be in better hands than with Jackie and I have trust issues lol. She is the VERY BEST <3”

Michael was great! He came over to meet Daisy before her scheduled walk. He was on time, very friendly and asked good questions. He showed up on time the day of the scheduled walk and took care of Daisy. She seemed to really like him. I would definitely use him again and would recommend his services.
After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕
McKenna is fantastic! She is truly a professional-attentive to details, asks great questions to make sure she’s caring for our pup to the highest standard, and gives our little guy so much love. The way he is always excited to see her is also a testament to the quality of care she provides! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for their pets.
Steve is the best. Our slightly special needs rescue needs a gentle but confident hand, and Steve is great with him. He makes sure our old boy gets his medication and food (which he can be quite uncooperative about) and he always takes him on the best walks. We’ve used Steve for boarding and drop-in visits/walks in our home. We know we can trust that he’ll take care of Riley just like we would (or maybe even better!) He’s reliable, communicative, and always sends great pictures, so you’ll always know how well things are going with your furbaby while you’re away!
I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want Tara all to ourselves! It’s very difficult to find a quality/trust worthy dog walker these days, but Tara is surely both! She is extremely detail oriented and follows instructions to a T. She sends TONS of pics and videos with a detailed report card about the visit. It’s clear my pups adore her. They usually take a little while to warm up to strangers but it was love at first site with Tara! She also left the most thoughtful card and puppy cookies. Excited to use her for more walks/visits in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in North Springfield is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 15,360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in North Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in North Springfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Springfield. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
