“Our dogs were well cared for and everything seemed to go smoothly which is great considering the age of our boys. The house was left exactly as she found it. I would definitely use her again”
“I am very happy with the service Maddison provided. She was very communicative before and during her stay with my two pups, which made my nervous heart happy. She left my house spotless as well. I will use her again!”
“We had such a great experience with Brooke. She was super nice, easy to communicate with, and took really good care of our dogs. She followed all our instructions and made sure their meds were given on time, which was a huge relief for us. It was so comforting knowing we didn’t have to worry about them while we were away. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Lilli was super sweet, listened to all our many requests, and our pups loved her! We booked somewhat last minute because of a day trip, and she made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups in her care. Will book again! Thank you Lilli!”
“She took great care of my cat while I was out of town! She sent lots of photos and was very quick to respond to messages. She also went out of her way to take out my trash and sweep the floors so I could come back to a clean home! I’m glad that Momo was able to make a new friend!!”
“Corinne took such great care of our dogs! This was a last minute trip and the first time we left our puppy, so we were nervous. Corinne treated our dogs as her own and we were able to leave and enjoy ourselves knowing the dogs were in good hands!”
“I always feel Great leaving my animals with Paige. She makes sure to care for them like her own and always leaves our home looking great . I am thankful She is willing to help us out!”
“I cannot recommend Tiffany enough. This was the first time I had left my three dogs overnight since a major life change, so trusting someone with them was a really big deal for me. From the moment Tiffany met them, I could tell they were comfortable with her—even Angel, who is normally very cautious with new people, immediately trusted her. Tiffany was wonderful about communicating with me throughout the stay and sent pictures and updates that let me actually relax knowing my dogs were happy and safe. She followed their routines, gave them plenty of outside time and attention, and treated them like they were her own. They clearly adored her—Hera slept under the covers at her feet, while Buddy and Angel competed for space by her pillow. She also went above and beyond in little ways I never expected. When one of the dogs marked on a blanket, she went to wash it, discovered I had accidentally left laundry in the washer, rewashed everything, started it in the dryer, and even washed their food dishes. Most importantly, I came home to three happy, relaxed dogs who had obviously been loved and well cared for. Finding someone I genuinely trust with my dogs means more to me than I can explain, and Tiffany absolutely earned that trust. I have already arranged future care with her and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Drew was a wonderful house sitter and guest! We had morning update including pictures each day and came home to a tidy house. He’s very loving with animals and I knew from the first meet and greet our Gideon would be in great hands. Thanks again, Drew! Will definitely be booking you again for future trips without our pup!”
“Jonna not only took great care of my dog (and foster dog), but she was communicative with me all the time. If you’re a dog mom, you get this. I want pictures… I want how well they ate, I want how they slept, all of it. She did all of those things which helps me enjoy my trips away even more. My Foster dog is very afraid of new people and she did all the things needed to help her feel as comfortable as she possibly could… Considering. She is the best!”
“Meryk is such a personable and friendly human, my big dogs took to him almost instantly! He was very accommodating and understanding about the overnight worry - as a good neighbor I know that no one likes a 2 am wake up call warning about the occasional harmless yard invader, so having someone trustworthy just in case this happens-to bring my dogs back into the house- instead of letting them howl all night- is crucial to suburban neighborhood peace. Meryk was responsive, dependable, and honest on his schedule while caring for my much loved and cherished dogs. Will definitely be booking him again! To have that peace of mind while away from home is absolutely invaluable!”
“Thank You Isabella! She is professional, personable and did a great job with our 3 labs and 1 cat. She kept us informed and sent some great pictures. We'll definitely use Isabella in the future. Thanks again !”
“Kellie was wonderful to work with, was thoughtful and detailed, and took such good care of our dogs and our place! We highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Sadie did an amazing job. She took care of our home and dog. Our dog was sick while we were away. Sadie took very good care of her. I would highly reccomend her for pet and house sitting.”
“Mya did an amazing job watching the boys while we were gone! Sent us updates and pictures! The boys were in very good hands. She also left the house very nice to come home to! We love having Mya!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Springfield is $40

This was our first time using Morgan and first time having in home care. Morgan was very responsive and sent great picture updates throughout our trip. She did a great job with the animals. We felt that our home was in good hands. We plan to schedule more stays with her in the coming months. I highly recommend Morgan.
Broghan was absolutely outstanding! Very prompt, excellent in communications both prior and during booking. He has an easy, calming way about him my dogs just loved. Would definitely recommend. He dedicated his time to be at my house with my pets, playing with and caring for them with just a few ‘ aways’ for errands & to run his own dogs. Highly trustworthy and dependable! Will definitely be asking for his help with my two 102lbs dogs in future plans this summer!
Caroline was very easy to book and communicate with. I booked her as a last minute decision. I had to go out to go out of town with less than 24 hours notice. She agreed to come over and let my dog out and feed her twice daily. Caroline always let me know that she had been there and what happened on each visit. She definitely saved the day, highly recommend!!!
Brianna was an amazing pet sitter! She had great communication the entire time, sent lots of pictures and updates, and took such good care of our cats. We especially appreciated how comfortable and reliable she was with giving prescription medication, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. Highly recommend her
Wow Nicole did such a great dog with my pups!! I have 2 dogs that don’t get along so it requires a little extra attention to keep them separated and get them each plenty of time outside. She did a wonderful time and sent pics and updates daily. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Springfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $34.78 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Springfield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Springfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
