“Kelley was a thoughtful and caring dogsitter for our 12 year old dog. She sent us daily updates, comforted him during summer thunderstorms and genuinely cared about him while we were gone. We were anxious to leave him and are so happy to have found Kelley!”
“Amazing communication and very accommodating ! Very kind and loving to my baby, Mocha. Shared lots of pics and videos and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was in great hands! Thank you so much !”
“She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.”
“Isa housesat our large dog over a weekend. She kept in touch with us via text and photos throughout her stay, and clearly took great care of our pup. She was punctual, responsible, and neat. I appreciated her proactive communication with me, and how responsive she was when I checked in. Would love to use her again!”
“John was fantastic! He came and met the dogs prior to staying with them for the weekend - they loved him. He was great with them, kept them exercised and entertained, and couldn’t have been more accommodating.I would book him again and don’t hesitate to trust my furry babies with him. 🐶😊🐶”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She wanted to know all the details of how to take best care of them. The house was pristine and the animals very happy on our return. We highly recommend her.”
“I was nervous about leaving my senior cat for a week, but Annie put me at ease! She sent photos consistently and regularly checked in with me. From every photo, it seemed that my sweet girl took to Annie immediately! She also left the place spotless and took good care of the apartment while I was away. I would definitely recommend Annie to fellow pet parents!”
“Addison was fantastic. She was very courteous and punctual. Reina absolutely loved her. Also, Addison fed Reina and gave her medication to her on schedule. I will definitely use Addison again to care for Reina.”
“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”
“The aunties are amazing. Super communicative, tons of pictures, I told my friend I felt like I was traveling first class with these pet sitters. My dog looked like he was having the time of his life! Also enjoyed meeting them both at the meet and greet and chatting over the phone. Will definitely book them again.”
“Always amazing with my dogs! One of my pups was suffering from an upset stomach the night before my trip and Oriana went out of her way to feed her a special diet of pumpkin all week. I really appreciate when a sitter goes out of their way to take care of my senior pets 🙏❤️”
“Ajia was amazing with our two boys. She is very communicative, leaving us with no worries during our trip, super responsive to our messages and took great care of my apartment. I think we found our permanent walker.”
“This was our first of two sittings with Tara and we couldn’t be more pleased with the attention and care given to our pup and our home. She is so communicative, offering updates as frequently as desired and was proactive in learning and doing everything she could to ensure our pup was happy and comfortable with her. We have a Velcro pup so we do worry about his anxiety while we are away but Tara put our minds at ease.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Springfield is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Springfield
Trisha took care of our 3 pups while we were away and did a great job! They got playtime and/or walks everyday. She was able to walk our big guy @120lbs and knew when it was too hot for our Frenchies to go out on a walk. She seemed to have no problem juggling the different needs of the pups. I got daily reports with pictures which gave me a lot of assurance I was leaving my dogs in good hands!
Kelley was an amazing sitter for my two senior dogs while I was abroad for two weeks. Right before my trip, my older dog had an unexpected ER visit, but Kelley handled his transition and care seamlessly—even navigating a power outage—with total dedication and diligence. She provided excellent communication, frequent updates, and kept the house so well-cared for, giving me total peace of mind throughout my trip. Highly recommended!
To say that Dynjandi enjoyed his time with Hieu and Anna is an understatement! He was so sad when his aunties left. I received pictures multiple times throughout the day and a summary of the day every day that I was gone. It was so nice to see that he was being so well taken care of and gave me such great peace of mind. Thank you!
McKenna is amazing. I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want others to get in the way of me having access to her when I need her! She's amazing with my dog and so attentive to keeping my house just like she found it. Sometimes cleaner! I will always attempt to book her first whenever I have needs for dog sitting.
Outstanding care for our two boys. Dana took care to make sure our dog’s schedules were not disrupted and made sure they had plenty of love and cuddles. Dana was very communicative and kept me updated on walks, scheduled activities and if there was anything she wanted to double check on she asked. I would highly recommend here for pet sitting and for walks.
We were so grateful to have Elena come and care for our sweet Olive during our wedding weekend! Especially on somewhat short notice! She took great care of our space and our girl! Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you so much again, Elena!
Tara was great with my 2 little Yorkies, as always. They absolutely love her. She made special treats for them and made cute little stickers out of some of the pictures she took of them. They absolutely love her. She also made sure that she left the house in great shape.
Denise is the best! She stayed in our home and cared for our two dogs for two and a half weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us frequent pictures and updates, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about bonding with our dogs and keeping them happy, comfortable, and safe. One of our dogs has severe anxiety, especially during storms and loud noises, and Denise was incredibly patient, attentive, and understanding with her. Knowing she was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. She also took wonderful care of our home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Being able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs or our house was priceless—and probably the hardest thing for any pet owner to achieve when traveling! We couldn’t recommend Denise enough and would absolutely trust her to care for our dogs and home again!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Springfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Springfield on Rover is $20 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,785 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
