“Jaclyn was wonderful and let us know how our dog was doing. My kiddos were missing our dog, so she sent a couple of videos, which was so nice!! We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Jaclyn in the future!!”
“Bailey was very good with Oakley - a very large but "old" dog. She had her best interests in mind the whole time and just let Oakley be herself. Very friendly, accommodating, and immediately communicative at all phases of booking, the stay, and the pick up”
“We've been bringing our dogs to Bethany for several years now. The dogs know her house as their 'home away from home'. It's so nice to have someone that's dependable and takes such great care of them. I love that she sends me pics of them also. So thankful we found her!”
“Allyson and her family were great! She was awesome about sending updates and helping us relax while we were out of town. Our dog seemed sad to leave, he had such a great time. We will definitely be re-booking and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She treated our fur baby like one of her own. She was extremely flexible and even kept our dog an extra day when we asked to extend our trip. 10/10 would recommend, and we will be using her again!”
“Crystal provided excellent care for our dog’s, Bonnie and Gus. She also sent pictures and updates everyday, which was greatly appreciated! We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“We our very happy with our puppy sitting by Dazhi. We received tons of pics and know he was taken on a couple walks. Dazhi was very kind through the app an accommodating when we could pick our puppy up early.”
“Jill was super attentive to my anxious puppy’s needs! The family made him feel comfortable right away and seeing the pictures of how he calmed down over time eased my mind. Thank you for everything!”
“I was so nervous to leave my pup at a complete strangers house but it went so well. Lynsee sent me messages, pictures, even a video of my dog throughout the night. Our dog played so hard with her dogs that he didn't move the while next day. It's was great. Highly recommend”
“Doyle and Michael took great care of my senior dog who is blind and insulin dependent. I was nervous to leave my dog with anyone because of his health issues but they made sure to send updates throughout my dogs stay with them. For my first time using Rover, I am glad I found them. They will be my first choice in the future and I highly recommend them.”
“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”
“I had previously only had amazing experience, in light of recent experiences they will be the only sitters I trust to care for my pup. They went above and beyond for me on limited notice due to a family medical emergency. They provided myself and my family with such relief during a traumatic experience and I can never fully thank them.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our dog! Communication was great. Emily & Jim’s home was a safe, enriching, family environment. Appreciated the updates. Voodoo had a great time!!”
“Torey is great! She communicates at least one a day. Our dog Zoey gets so excited when we drive up to her house. Zoey races to the front door! I guess Zoey doesn’t mind we are leaving her. 😂”
“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”
“Brett and Christine were so great with my pup! He had a bit of a strained back leg when I dropped him off, and they did a great job making sure he didn’t exert himself too much. When I picked him up after the weekend, he was walking normally and they said he had a great time with their other dogs. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Nicole was amazing! She has 3 well behaved beautiful dogs that got to play and distract Midas while we were gone. She also has some extra little hand that I am sure gave our dog so much love while we were gone! We got pictures daily! We were so happy that he was so well taken care of we would request Nicole anytime we are out of town. Highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Springfield sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Springfield landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Springfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Springfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
