“I booked a trip last minute - Darlene was extremely accommodating with timing and took great care of our dog Bear! She took amazing pictures, had a yard for the dog to play in, and made me feel reassured about leaving our dog in her care. I will definitely rebook if I am back in the area!”
“I’m very happy that I found someone so dependable & dedicated to watch my dog when I’m away. Andrea obviously loves dogs and my dog was very happy to stay with her. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures regularly.”
“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”
“Hi Beth, I can't seem to navigate back to your profile from your old message -- but I am wondering if you might be free to watch Milo over Thanksgiving weekend -- Weds Nov. 22nd thru Sun or Mon. thanks so much! Maia (917-359-9364)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“We are new to using Patti, but couldn't be happier with her care of our Josie. Patti was very good about letting me know how Josie was getting on and sending photos of the two of them together. I have already scheduled our next visit with Patti!”
“I am grateful to have found Jessiana to care for my dog. She is dependable, kind, courteous and genuinely cared for my Samson, treating him as if he were her own. I received regular updates and picture, which provided me with peace of mind during my time away. I will certainly use her services again!”
“Adam was fantastic! Quick and clear communication from the initial message all the way to pick up. Adam was very friendly and has an immaculate house, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog for the long weekend. His dog Rocky was friendly as well and was a great playmate for my dog Max. I will definitely be booking with Adam again!”
About: I have had medium/large dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of a 35lb Australian Cattle dog as well as 2 pit bulls between 55-70lbs. I've also dog-sat a dog under 10lbs and walked dogs who were 140lbs. I've also worked in home with families who had cats ranging in size and demeanor. I work full time which is why I can only do sitting on weekends. I am looking to do more hobbies and this seems like something fun for me to add. I care for my dog Zelda who's partially blind so I have an awareness for disabled pups. That is also the reason I cannot board dogs in my home. I would likely spend a large portion of my day with the dog I'm taking care of, giving them some kind of walk during the day and making sure to lock up each time I leave the home. I would make sure they are fed on time and receive the same kind of loving care I give my dogs at home.
“Chris was amazing with our Scruffy! We appreciated her photos and messages…and Scruffy appreciated the walks and the love! We highly recommend booking with her! Thank you, Chris ?❤️”
About: Animals have been at the center of my life since childhood. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals of all kinds is truly in my roots. I was a devoted dog mom for 13 years to my late dachshund, Boston and currently have a big, friendly rescue dog who’s been by my side for 4 years, a beautiful mix of Blue Tick Coonhound, American Foxhound, Lab, Bully, German Shepherd, and who knows what else, or as I like to call her a Supermutt 🩷 Over the years I’ve rescued dogs, cats and other animals off the streets, and I’m constantly learning everything I can about animal health, behavior, and care so that I can always be prepared for any type of pet friend that comes into my home. Friends, family, and neighbors have always turned to me when they need someone they can truly trust with their pets. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I work full time during the week and am available to take in pets from Friday through Sunday, giving your fur baby a full weekend of dedicated love and attention. I’m present and engaged during my time at home, so your pet won’t just be waiting around they’ll be played with, walked, and genuinely cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I have a partially fenced yard and a secure ground-anchored long lead for supervised outdoor time, so dogs can enjoy fresh air safely. I also live right next to a large park with trails, making it easy to get in enriching walks and outdoor adventures. My own dog Khaleesi is friendly and social with other dogs, so boarded pets will have a welcoming companion. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own, your pet will feel right at home.
“Elliott took excellent care of my golden retriever. He responded promptly to all communications, sent me regular updates and photos, and even let her sleep on his bed! He was kind and understanding when I had to shorten my dogs’ stay due to a family emergency.”
“Lindsey was great! She kept us updated throughout our trip and was accommodating when asked for our Gus to be the only dog during the week! Would definitely rebook with her!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Springfield is $50

Aishea was wonderful with my dogs! They had never been properly socialized around other dogs and she was able to get them to join the pack and have fun! One of my dogs can go on a hunger strike when I leave but he ate by days 2 with her. She sent photos and updates during the week they were with her and took them on walks. Her house is set up perfectly with multiple rooms for the dogs to occupy (inside!) and a large fenced in backyard for running, lounging and playing. I was very grateful that she took such good care of them.
Six out of five stars! We went away with zero worries of our fur babies in the care of Saktah! She genuinely enjoyed and loved on our babies. Saktah was incredibly communicative and prompt in her responses. She sent us frequent updates (which we loved and were very appreciative and thankful for)! Thank you so much, Saktah!
Joseirys M. was absolutely amazing with our dog Django. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Django is a rescue and can be pretty anxious and fearful around new people, so we’re always very careful about who we leave him with. From the moment he was with Joseirys, it was clear she has a natural understanding of dogs and how to make them feel safe. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive, and Django quickly became comfortable in a way that honestly surprised us. What really stood out was how well she adapted—not just to Django’s needs, but to our schedule as well while we were in LA. She was communicative, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Django was in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and treats your pet like their own, I highly recommend Joseirys. We will definitely be booking with her again.

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 .
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
