“Issa was great. The dogs remembered her from last year and Aggie, who is slow to trust me people, was in her lap right away. Issa communicated well and sent several pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Sydney was wonderful! She was communicative, warm, and took amazing care of both our dog and cat! She left our house in better shape than she found it and made sure both our pets were happy and well-taken care of. We plan to book again with her in the future and definitely recommend her!”
“Orianna was wonderful. Tater Tot felt very comfortable with her. He ran to her when she came to the door. She stayed overnight at our house and was a model guest! She even offered to take the trash out with her. How thoughtful.”
“I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!”
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.
“Amie was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, responsive, and timely in her communication, and provided wonderful daily updates. She also takes the best pictures! Murphy is typically shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but from the moment she met Amie, she seemed comfortable around her and even flopped over for her! That comfort only seemed to grow throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and content cat and would happily book with Amie again!”
“Kathleen was wonderful with my dog Ella. She paid attention to her, followed instructions on her needs and what she is accustomed to in her weekend routine. Even though it was only one night of dog sitting she wowed me with her commitment to her house/dogsitting. I will definitely use her again .. She sent me multiple pics of Ella while I was away..”
“Livia was great with our dogs and provided us great updates during our time away. She left our home in a wonderful state and handled our dogs care with no problem. Would happily book her for future trips.”
“David was great with my two dogs!! They looked like they had a great time with him. He communicated very well during the 10 day stay. We would definitely use him again to take care of our babies in the future!”
“Gem was everything we hoped for and more in a dog sitter! She was extremely attentive to our pup’s needs and very communicative with us while we were away. The pictures/updates she sent regularly helped us feel at ease. We absolutely look forward to booking her again!”
“Ellie is an excellent pet sitter. My furry babies especially Minnie was happy with her. Charlie was not too happy that we left him alone LOL. We were more worried about Minnie being doesn’t get along with strangers but she was perfectly fine with Ellie. She send us the picture Minnie lying down next to her.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around animals. This isn’t just something I do for money I actually have fun with it. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re super playful, shy, or just want someone to be with them. When you’re away, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and not alone. I’ll play with them, give them attention, and treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for them to feel happy and cared for the whole time, not just “watched.”❤️🐾 Im available in the afternoons and weekends! i’m always flexable with my schedules, i work a part time job so i can have lots of time with your pup! I offer in-home pet care, meaning I care for your pets right in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and happiest. Comfort & Routine First!!– I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Keeping their routine consistent helps reduce stress and makes them feel secure while you’re away. Special Care – Whether it’s administering medications, helping senior pets with mobility, or reinforcing training for puppies, I’m attentive and experienced in meeting specific needs. Clean & Tidy – I keep food and water bowls clean, tidy up litter boxes, and make sure your pet’s space stays fresh and comfortable. Love & Attention – Beyond basic care, I provide companionship belly rubs, playtime, cuddles, or quiet presence, depending on what your pet enjoys most. Daily Updates – You’ll never be left wondering I send regular photos and updates so you feel connected and reassured. I treat your home with the same respect and care as I do your pets clean, responsible, and trustworthy every step of the way.
“Brianna took care of my pup for 5 nights and he was so happy and healthy when we got back! He has a lot of bladder issues and she did a great job following extra instructions to handle it ! She was loving to him and was by his side most of the time I was away! She also left my home perfectly clean”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, from chickens, cows, and rabbits to dogs and cats. As a consequence, I learned to care for and respect animals. I work remotely (in my apartment) Monday- Friday from 7:00 am - 3:00pm. The nature of my work is independent. Thus, it's very flexible in terms of time management. I live by myself in a spacious pet friendly apartment and at the moment I don't have any pets. There are several parks and nice side walks near the building.
“Madilyn did a great job watching my two mini poodles for several days while I was out of town. She left my home cleaner than when she arrived and my girls had a great time with her!!”
“I can always trust Jeannie to take such great care of my fur babies! I am always so thankful to have peace of mind when having to leave my babies. Thank you for all you do Jeannie!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Springfield is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Springfield
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jena! She cared for our senior dog, Tyson, and our mischievous kitty, Jarvy, during the second half of our honeymoon, and we are so incredibly grateful for her. Tyson is at a stage in his life where he requires a tremendous amount of patience, grace, and hands-on care, and Jena handled everything with such kindness, compassion, and attention to detail. From helping him with his mobility struggles and daily routines to making sure he was comfortable, loved on, and even getting some time to enjoy the sunshine, she truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly communicative, sent us updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions, and genuinely cared about making sure Tyson was as comfortable and happy as possible. She also took wonderful care of Jarvy and his feisty little personality! On top of all that, she went out of her way to clean up, wash linens, and have everything ready for us when we returned from a long international trip. Leaving our sweet senior boy behind is never easy, especially for such an extended period, but knowing he and Jarvy were in such capable and caring hands meant the world to us. Jena's patience, thoughtfulness, and dedication did not go unnoticed. We cannot thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like their own!
I truly cannot recommend Kelley enough! She took such amazing care of our senior boy, Tyson, while we were away for our wedding and part of our honeymoon. Tyson requires a lot of extra patience, grace, and attention at this stage in his life, and she handled all of his needs with so much love and compassion. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind during such an important time in our lives. On top of everything, she navigated an unexpected plumbing emergency at our house without hesitation and handled it like a total pro! She truly went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the wonderful care she gave Tyson. We couldn't have asked for anyone better and would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!
Rei did a great job with our German Shepherd McKinley. She stayed at our house with the dog for about 5 days and sent us plenty of updates while we were away. Our pup is getting older and takes a couple of medications and supplements, which Rei very carefully administered. Our dog was super calm and happy when we got home and the house was in great shape-- Rei had totally cleaned up after herself. We would happily book her again in the future!
I highly recommend this team! Heiu and Anna were lifesaver when I wasn't able to take my dog on vacation with me at the last minute. They eased all my concern about leaving a young puppy with strangers, I was well informed with all the my puppies activities and daily adventures while I was gone. They treated my fur baby as if she was their own. They are highly sought after with a full schedule, but I will use them again in a heartbeat.
Tara was awesome. She provided in home care for our dog while we were on vacation, feeding, walks, overnight care. She sent daily updates with photos and comments. Louie was so well cared for. She is very conscientious. We had no concerns at all. Highly recommend her!
Amie was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, responsive, and timely in her communication, and provided wonderful daily updates. She also takes the best pictures! Murphy is typically shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but from the moment she met Amie, she seemed comfortable around her and even flopped over for her! That comfort only seemed to grow throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and content cat and would happily book with Amie again!
Izzy took great care of my cat Amara for one full month while I was away. He's clearly a genuine cat lover — he even hoped she'd end up sleeping on his bed, and she eventually did, which says a lot about how comfortable she was with him. Communication was good: he sent regular photo updates throughout the stay, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also attentive to her wellbeing — he noticed and flagged it when she wasn't eating or drinking as much as usual, which I really appreciated. He left the house clean and even left a few groceries, which was a nice touch. Overall, nothing to worry about at all: my cat was in good hands, and I came home to a happy cat and a tidy home. Thanks again Izzy
Kaiya was amazing with my 2 dogs. She stayed in our home and made sure they felt comfortable with her and gave them an endless supply of belly rubs, pats, and attention which I know they loved. We would definitely have her and Charles take care of our pups again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Springfield is $20 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Springfield. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
