About: I grew up with a variety of animals at a young age, always taking care to learn their personalities and individual needs. I was entrusted with pet sitting for friends and family growing up. I currently work full time, ideal pet drop ins would be early in the morning(6am-7:15am) and the afternoons or evenings from 4:30-9pm depending on location. Mondays 4:30-5pm or after 6:30pm. The weekends allow me more frequent, open, and flexible availability for drop ins and walks. I’m open to discussing any times that you need and trying to find a compromise! While caring for pets I like to keep them within eye sight at all times while interacting based on their body language and personality type.
About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.
“Kyle is the perfect match for my Cane Corso. She’s a strong guardian breed and Kyle was knowledgeable throughout the process of meeting her to ensure a safe interaction. He is patient and kind. She looooooves him. I appreciate his thoroughness in ensuring her needs are met, Makes this dog mom’s heart smile to know she has a good caregiver.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Steffany! I’ve booked with her twice now, and she has taken amazing care of my pets each time. I have a 7-year-old English Bulldog and a 5-year-old cat, so finding someone I could truly trust in my home while we were away was very important to me. Steffany gave me complete peace of mind from the very beginning. She sent the sweetest pictures and detailed report cards after every visit, which meant so much to us. She went above and beyond to keep my pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while we were gone. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my babies. I will absolutely continue booking with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Katelyn was wonderful with my old and spoiled rotten lab over the weekend. She followed my very detailed instructions and sent photos every drop in. I even came home to cute little doggy gifts when we returned from out of town. What a cute little touch to end her booking with us. Highly recommend. Will definitely use again when needed. Thank you!!

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!

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.

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.
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 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
