About: As a kid and young adult I gained a lot of experience pet sitting for family, friends, and coworkers. Since then, I have gained valuable experience working as a kennel technician at Crossroads Animal Hospital where I not only learned how to care for many animals at once, but also the patience needed to work with scared animals, medicine administration, and how to monitor animal health. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities. I can help with training for young pets although I am not a registered trainer. I am currently working for myself selling plants and crochet at farmer's markets which means I can easily work your needs into my schedule. I may have limited morning availability during weekends I go to farmer's markets but I am also flexible to move this around in order to accommodate! I am accustomed to caring for 10+ animals that all have different food and medical needs as well as experience taking care of chickens, plants, cats, and dogs simultaneously. Because of this experience with many animals, small details are crucial to me. I will ensure that everything you ask is completed as well as watching your pets for any signs of changes in health such as unusual eating or bathroom habits. I take animal care very seriously and will ensure you always have the information you need to build trust and peace of mind.
“Brittnee was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our two cats while we were gone. She was responsible, dependable, and very attentive to our animals and their needs. We received frequent updates on their care and she gave us peace of mind leaving our cats in her keeping. We will definitely be booking Brittnee again for any of our future trips! She’s the best!”
“Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!”
“Mary was great! I received an update each day of our vacation on Addison and Rafter. Mary has a true heart for animals so I had no worries my babies were taken care of. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. My father has owned and operated a dog training/boarding business for over 14 years, and I grew up helping him with the daily care and responsibilities that come with working with dogs. I currently work part time as a kennel technician at Hickory Small Animal Hospital in Ponchatoula, where I help care for pets staying in the boarding facility. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I also have extensive experience with horses and regularly help care for horses and assist with barn responsibilities for several owners. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I also work part time, but I am able to plan my schedule around bookings and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outside time. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can provide some company and playtime! I am always happy to follow each owner’s preferences and routines to make sure their pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible.

My golden is very active so I’m always prioritizing getting home to play with my baby! I know how hard it is to find help being busy, so while I have time I want to be that person for others! I have a fenced in backyard with a very friendly Golden who would love play dates! If you would rather me come to your house, I love taking long walks and am very used to playing with toys in the house to try to burn all of that energy! I will give your pup the same attention I give my own❤️

“Loralei did drop in visits 2 x day for 5 days for my 3 pups . Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2. She also fed my fish and put bird seed in my feeder every morning. She communicated concerns and reassured me all was well . I recommend her and I will use her again in the future !”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary office, where I’ve gained valuable knowledge about pet health and behavior.

I stick to their regular feeding and exercise schedules to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I provide plenty of playtime and affection to help them feel happy and secure. I’m attentive to their individual needs, including any medication or special care, and I always monitor their health closely. My home becomes a cozy, caring space where pets can relax and enjoy their time while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Brenley did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Razor. He truly went above and beyond during every visit. He carefully followed Razor’s feeding routine, washed and refilled his food and water bowls, cleaned and refreshed the litter box, and even vacuumed around the apartment when Razor made a mess. The way he kept everything clean and comfortable for Razor was remarkable. Razor is shy around strangers, but Brenley was very patient with him. He spent time sitting nearby, talking to him, offering toys, and giving him space to become comfortable at his own pace. He also sent detailed updates and plenty of photos after each visit, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciate the care and attention Brenley gave Razor. I will definitely try to book him again in the future whenever I need to leave my cat at home while traveling. Highly recommended!
Brittnee was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our two cats while we were gone. She was responsible, dependable, and very attentive to our animals and their needs. We received frequent updates on their care and she gave us peace of mind leaving our cats in her keeping. We will definitely be booking Brittnee again for any of our future trips! She’s the best!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
