“Crystal was fantastic! She was communicative, thorough in the caretaking of our home and pets, and went above and beyond in tidying things up before we got home. Thank you!”
“Sierra took such great care of our kitty and provided excellent updates. She also helped with a couple other things around the house while we were out of town. I would highly recommend!”
“Super impressed with Ashley. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She took attentive care of my kitty and was so polite and communicative. I came back to a very happy and healthy cat. 10/10!!”
“I highly recommend using Madeline for drop in visits! She did a wonderful job caring for our two Boxers. She was very communicative and right on time with her drop-ins. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“Morgan took amazing care of our Gracie while we were out of town! Our kitty is very shy and rarely comes out when there are people other than us at our house - but not only did she come out during Morgan’s visits, she actually allowed her to give her pets and take her picture! We will definitely hire Morgan again for our next trip!”
“Shaylee was fantastic with my cat! She took the time to understand his special diet and handled his twice-daily feesings with complete care and attention. He quickly warmed up to her, and the frequent updates and photos she sent gave me complete peace of mind. She is completely trustworthy, attentive, and clearly loves what she does I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her.”
“Celeste was an amazing cat sitter! Went above and beyond expectations and was in regular contact with me while I was away. When I returned home, my cats were obviously very well taken care of and my apartment looked just as I had left it! Cannot recommend Celeste enough. Incredibly appreciative of her willingness to watch my pets and keep me updated while on vacation.”
About: Animals are meant to be treated with respect, love and kindness and a strong understanding of their mannerisms & personality. This is what sets my pet care apart from others. We learn your pets to help them flourish and give them the greatest love! I’ve trained and continued training my massive “wolf dog” Robin, a Shepsky breed full of energy & motivation to see life to the fullest. From excessive hyper energy to chill calm couch potato pets — all in between deserve the most understanding. My main work schedule is part time on Wed - Friday so Monday and Tuesdays would be an early morning or late afternoon but other days are highly flexible for your fur babies and house sitting with pets is absolutely welcomed. Taking care of your fur babies in your home is prime for development and growth in a place they feel absolutely the safest. Their schedules become habitual and this is schedule we work with to accommodate their needs and wants.
“Linda was great with Scout. She arrived on time and sent a picture every day..she managed food and treats and was a great companion for my girl. I hope to have her come again in November.”
“We continue to utilize Crystal's services due to her excellence. Her communication is quick, and her schedule is flexible to adapt to our ad hoc needs as emergencies arise. We appreciate having someone reliable that ensures Champ is in good hands.”
About: Hello! I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior cats. As a cat mom myself, I know that pets are family, and how important it is for your pet to be with someone they can trust while you’re away. I have extensive experience providing attention and active engagement with all types of pets. I would love to care for your pets and provide them with a welcoming, trusting face while you're away. I work full-time, but have options to work from home if needed, and can use lunch breaks as a potty break for your furry friend. I love spending time with pets, providing them with enrichment, and a loving, interactive environment. I care for pets by providing them with proper attention and watching their behaviors to determine cues. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, providing them with a welcoming environment with someone they, and you, can trust.
About: I have had pets my entire life and currently have a beautiful Great Dane and two cats of my own. I’ve worked at veterinary clinics and doggy day cares since I was 16. My knowledge and love for pets makes me a great candidate for taking care of others fur babies. If you want someone you can trust with your furry friends and can be there for them when you can not I am the person for this job! What makes me different from others is that I have hands on experience and loved doing my job. I want to open up my own business one day and with the help of my future clients and I can make this happen and continue to offer my services. I do not have breed restrictions, I only ask that the pets I care for are ready for lots of cuddles ! I’m currently working part time, so I have open availability across the board ! I’m looking for more consistent stays if possible. Fitting in walks and cuddle time comes easy with my schedule. I am able to travel to clients homes, to help keep their pet the most comfortable they can be and feel at ease being in their own safe space. I offer walks, cuddles, and love to take pictures to send to pet parents
“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 493 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
