“Breelyn is great! She’s always on time, is quick to communicate and sends multiple photos during her visit. We’ve used her for 3 years and our cat Fifi loves her.”
“Adrienne was fantastic! We have a pretty anxious cat and she can be fiesty. She gave us updates during each visit, and was super respectful of our cat’s boundaries. Her top priority was making sure our cat felt comfortable while we were on our trip. I definitely would recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy I chose Corrine to help with my fur buddies. She is super bubbly and outgoing. She communicated with me every time she stopped over to let them out and sent photos so I could see them in the yard. She asked great questions and covered everything they needed. I highly recommended her to help with your fur buddies. She took excellent care of mine. I will being using her again!”

About: Your fur babies deserve the best, so you can relax while I handle their health needs, happiness, and entertainment!! I’ve been around big and small dogs all my life, I was raised with them and have been responsible for feeding them, walking them, entertaining them, and administering their medications when needed! I’ve also had the pleasure of adopting and caring for my own cat for 9 years now! I have a deep love and respect for all animals, big and small, and would be honored to assist you by walking or watching your beloved pet or pets!! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of openings for walks, drop-ins, or overnight sitting! Weekdays and weekends available!! I will arrive at your home promptly at the scheduled time(s) on a blue motorcycle wearing a white helmet. From there I can take your pets on walks through the neighborhood, entertain them with toys, feed them, administer any medications, let them outside to potty or play, and even stay overnight to watch them.
About: Having lifelong experience around both dogs and cats has helped me become very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for them whenever my parents were away. I’ve had both small and large dogs so I understand that every pet has different needs and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read animals body language and recognize when they need space, comfort, playtime, or extra attention. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away, and I will treat every animal like they are my own. I’m a college student here in Springfield majoring in Exercise Science. Since I’m currently only enrolled in school, I’m able to keep my schedule pretty flexible and adjust it as needed. This makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine so your pets can get plenty of attention, cuddles, and care while you’re away. I’m very attentive when caring for pets, and my main goal is to make them feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while their humans are away. I know what it’s like to have velcro pets who get anxious when their people leave, so I always try to give pets extra attention, patience, playtime, and affection so they feel safe and not alone. I have 4 dogs of my own, so I’m very used to busy and sometimes chaotic environments, and I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible! I also wanted to add that my account shows that I have a response rate below 100% because I messaged one of my clients outside of the app!
About: I have had pets my entire life. Since moving to Springfield, I have helped multiple friends take care of their pets while they have traveled. I have experience with kittens and puppies all the way up to Great Danes. I currently have two pit bulls, a shiba inu and a ball python at home. Every pet and every home is different. You can trust that I will handle instructions exactly. I approach every animal slowly and with the respect they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I’m able to work pet visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while I’m there.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Due to an emergency medical.issue my cat was left at home. Katelyn was able to make a last minute stop and sit with Kat for 30 min. Really gave me peace of mind and i know from my smartlock that she did stay the full 30 min. She sent pics of my kitty and put my mind at ease.
Adrienne was fantastic! We have a pretty anxious cat and she can be fiesty. She gave us updates during each visit, and was super respectful of our cat’s boundaries. Her top priority was making sure our cat felt comfortable while we were on our trip. I definitely would recommend her!
I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes. She was very attentive and went above & beyond, making sure all my animals had their needs met & enough attention and love. I appreciate the communication I received as well throughout my trip. Will absolutely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Springfield is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
