“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”
“Joseiris is our favorite sitter! I've writer previous reviews saying how diligent and detail-oriented she is. But I will add that my kitties can sometimes be sneaky and difficult (and both need medications), and when needed she puts in the extra time without question to make sure they get everything they need, even when they make it difficult! I trust her 100% with their health & safety when I'm not around, and she always leaves the house clean & neat.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets every day in my own home. I currently care for three dogs—a Pomeranian, a Husky/Lab mix, and a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix—so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I also care for three parakeets and maintain a fish tank, giving me experience with birds and aquatic pets as well. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Hi, I’m Lunah! I’m currently a senior in college pursuing degrees in Sociology, Psychology, and Criminal Justice. As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I understand that pets are family and deserve dependable, compassionate care. I currently have three dogs—a Pomeranian, a Husky/Lab mix, and a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix—along with three parakeets and a freshwater fish tank. Over the years, I’ve also cared for a rabbit and reptiles, giving me experience with a wide variety of animals. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve cared for my nanny family’s cat, so I’m comfortable providing care in clients’ homes and following each pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with companionship, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I’ll always send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer flexible availability and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Whether you need dog walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight house sitting, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. Send me your requested dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your furry family members like they’re my own! 🐾 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make their safety, comfort, and routine my top priorities. I follow each pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s personality and energy level!
“Victoria was fantastic. Very responsive made herself available came as requested asked questions when needed and took care of my little kitty cats while I was gone for a few days thank you Victoria!”
“Andrea did such a wonderful job taking care of our boy while we were away! Thank you so much and we know Murphy loved going on those walks with you!”
“Paisley was very reliable, timely with visits, and loving to our pups. Paisley gave detailed updates with great photos so it seemed like we never left! I will definitely book again with Paisley for future dog care needs.”
“Kayla is a great communicator. She is very kind, and she is patient with our puppy. She clearly loves animals and is very reliable when it comes to providing care.”
“Five stars isn’t enough. Our cat Felix absolutely fell in love with Eryn. He was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored while we were away. We got great updates, thoughtful care, and came home to a very content boy. Truly exceptional experience — we’ll be booking again without hesitation.”
“Alexandra was amazing with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of them while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands at home. We came back to happy pups and everything just as we left it. We’ll absolutely be using Alexandra again and would highly recommend her! 🐾💕”
“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”
“We were unsure of using a service at first, but let me just say, Amy and Lily took away any doubts. We were thrilled with the care Amy and Lilly took of our girl, the daily updates and photos put this doggy mommy's mind to rest knowing the old girl was in good hands. We will definitely use this service again, and highly recommend Amy for any of your pet sitting needs, if she can put the bounce back in our 16yr old Cocker Spaniel she can handle anything. Amy went well above our expectations and we could not be happier.”
About: I have volunteered at a couple of local animal shelters over the duration of 2 years for multiple hours a day! While I only have a certain amount of professional experience, I also own 2 domestic long haired cats who I’ve raised for the last 4 years. I specialize in cat care on a private setting and dog care on a professional setting. I have many available days within my weekly calendar to fit pet sitting and pet walking into my schedule. Weekends are completely open with weekdays having limited availability. Weekdays: Anything after 3:30 PM! Weekends: Complete open availability! I currently own two beautiful domestic long haired cats. Their daily routine consists of a strong high moisture diets, supplements that cater to their needs, rotation of toys when under supervision, 100% cat safe toys when unsupervised, cat scratchers, fur and dental care, routine vet visits, litter box scoops multiple times a day, and more.
About: I have always had pets since I was a young girl. Dogs, cats, and even a rabbit named Honey! My passion and love for animals has inevitably made me the designated pet sitter amongst my family and friends, as they know I will always give their babies the upmost care and attention. My philosophy has always been: Your pet isn’t “just a pet” they are family and they have their own feelings and needs. When you’re away, I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, quirks, and individual needs, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions that you may require. You can also expect plenty of communication from me, including consistent updates, photos, and quick check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and comfortable, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, earn their trust, and give them some extra love and companionship when you need to get away! I have a small business and create my own schedule so I am very flexible on a daily and weekly basis. I prefer a few days notice for any overnight stays or cancellations, otherwise I’m open and available for you and your pups! I typically like to follow the routine that the owners have set in place regarding walks, potty breaks, feed times, wind down, and anything else that might establish a sense of normalcy for your dog even when you aren’t around. I’m always willing to offer treats and other things if recommended or approved.
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.
About: With a year of experience in a pet daycare and boarding facility, I've mastered the art of grouping dogs for optimal companionship, ensuring they're exercised, fed, bathed, and engaged with other dogs. I've always taken immense pleasure in taking care of variety of breeds in the past. I also handle drop-in visits for family pets. Engaging with pets isn't just my job but my passion, so you can rest assured that your furbaby will be in loving hands. I'm currently unemployed and can provide daily/weekly care with my little one tagging along. As a stay home mom there are two faces for your fur baby to enjoy during the care. We can come by to let them out to go pee/poop in your yard. Give them water and food upon pet owners request. Provide care to your uptmost liking when it's a drop-in visits.
About: I am now available Full-Time to love and take care of your wonderful and adorable babies ! I am, Reliable, Professional, Trustworthy, and I’m always available day and night Your pet(s) will always have 100% of my attention, we will go for 30 minute to an hour walk as often as possible. I always let them on my bed and furniture if you allow them to. I can easily crate your pets if needed. I do not drive so I unfortunately cannot pick-up/drop-off your pets. I always walk them on a leash. All pets are allowed on furniture.
About: I have a 6 year old Jack Russel/Chihuahua that is the sweetest most loving girl! I have trained her myself since she was a puppy, I have learned SO much. I have a schedule that’s a little all over the place but I’m willing to work out different times through the week that best suits you and your dog. It’s something that would have to be discussed based on your wants and needs for your dog. All dogs are different, every dog owner is different. But I would be sure to feed, give them water and walk as needed.
About: I’m caring patient and love to have fun from giving paw to fetch with all ages I have flexible scheduling and references as well hope to hear from you soon 🐾🙂 I love pet sitting and always have and I’m very flexible for scheduling if you have any questions please feel free to contact me hope to hear from you soon I can offer as a pet sitter love care compassion and kindness treating your pets as I do my own I hope to hear from you soon
About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Joseiris is a wonderful sitter. She is caring, attentive, and thorough on her visits. She sent us many pictures of both of our cats each day, along with a great write up of the time she spent with them. She clearly has a natural connection with cats, and was even able to get our shy cat, Tini to come out and play with her and sit on her lap. We were gone for almost two weeks and our minds were totally at ease knowing that Joseiris was coming by each day.
Alexandra was amazing with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of them while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands at home. We came back to happy pups and everything just as we left it. We’ll absolutely be using Alexandra again and would highly recommend her! 🐾💕
We highly recommend Mary Elizabeth! Our sweet, elder dog was comfortable and happy in her care. Marybeth took the time to get to know our dog prior to their first visit. She wrote things down and was communicative and responsive. Marybeth is trustworthy and although we don’t want to share her, we know she will do the same for your sweet pet!
Erin was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat, Tinky, and my elderly Chihuahua, Sasha, for five days while I was away in Puerto Rico. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with Sasha, making sure my senior pup was comfortable and well cared for. She also handled Tinky's persistent attempts to convince her to let him outside with so much patience and good humor! Eryn went above and beyond, and it was clear she genuinely cared about both of my pets. I came home to two happy, well-loved animals, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Eryn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable. Thank you so much, Eryn! We will hope to use her again and again .
Servicio fue excelente y de gran ayuda para nosotros durante nuestro viaje. Sophie siempre estuvo contenta de esperar su visita, la atención y el cariño que le brindaba. Espero volvernos a ver pronto! Saludos cordiales The service was excellent and a great help to us during our trip. Sophie was always delighted to look forward to your visits—and the attention and affection you gave her. We hope to see you again soon! Warm regards.
I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.
Anna is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to hire a “stranger” last minute for my trip but Anna made everything soooo stress free!!! She took perfect care of my pup, sent daily updates & was easily accessible via message! Anna is the best of the best!! ♥️♥️ so happy she is no longer a stranger !

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,950 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
