“A big applause for Katelyn! We had to leave town to attend a funeral. Katelyn accepted our request on very short notice! One of our cats is extremely aggressive to the other cats, He has to be kept separated from the rest of our cats. (He loves humans, especially people who tell him he’s a good boy! ) Katelyn accepted the challenge wonderfully. Thank you Katelyn for everything!”
“Angelee is amazing. She spends time playing with our cats, and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy. We really appreciate her attention to detail and that she cleans up any messes the cats make. Angelee is our go to cat sitter. She takes great photos too.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my adult years. I have had all of my dogs from the time they were small puppies until they have become adult and senior dogs. I have worked with both large and small breeds, such as Beagles and German Shepherds. I currently foster/volunteer for Rescue One and enjoy every minute of it. To ensure you and your pet are comfortable, I provide a free meet and greet. I am available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings during the week. I am more flexible with times on the weekends. However, please feel free to message your needs and I will see if I can accommodate. I am accustomed to set schedules with pets, enrichment, and exercise. I practice strict leash security and will double check all gates, fence, and doors before leaving. There will be 100% transparency and regular, proactive communication with frequent updates and photos or videos. I will adhere to all instructions and specific routines and rules. I am always prompt and respectful.
“Kellie was amazing with our 3 cats!! One of our cats is incredibly shy, and requires daily meds. Kellie did an amazing job making sure he got his medication, and he seemed to really warm up to her (which is huge!!) in just a few days. We had great daily updates, definitely recommend!!”
“Steffany did a fantastic job with our two cats! She is a great communicator-we got wonderful photos & updates, she was able to give our older cat medication, and was just overall wonderful to work with. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Amanda did a great job! She had fantastic communication and I would 10/10 recommend her. Hopefully the next time we need someone to check on our fur babies, she will be available!”
“Brooke too such great care of our cat, Yul! She was prompt, super easy to work with, and left us at ease. I would definitely recommend Brooke to anyone looking for pet care 😊”
“Maddison was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and took such great care of our dogs. Little things like wiping their paws when it rained really showed how thoughtful she is. We'd definitely book her again!”

“Mackenzie went above and beyond. Our dog had just been neutered two days before, but she willingly accepted to check in on him while we were gone for the day. She always takes pictures and gives a detailed report which makes us feel at peace leaving him. Our dog really looks forward to seeing her too 😊”

“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!”

Katie was amazing! Our cat can be a little anxious and apprehensive towards strangers but she did so well with her. She made sure to send us updates so we could feel at ease while away on vacation. She even left a little goodie bag for our cat Jinx! Katie is amazing, i’d definitely recommend 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!
Lacey is fantastic!! She's great at communication and always keeps me updated. And she goes above and beyond and treats my boys as if they were her own and my boys adore her for it! I know they are in good hands when I'm at work. She will always be our go to sitter as long as she's available. We absolutely love her!
I am so grateful for Ara! She did amazing with my young, large dog who can be a handful sometimes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $19.98 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 434 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:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
