“Jaclyn was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with photos, and went above and beyond - he even got a bath! Our puppy loved her, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Bethany did an amazing job with Eevee. She took care of my little girl as if Eevee were hers. Bethany sent multiple pictures and texts every day, and she made sure my dog got plenty of exercise. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“This was our first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how our dog would do. Bodhi spent 5 days with Stephanie and she was amazing! She sent pictures and updates. We would definitely send Bodhi back the next time we head out of town.”
“Our pups had an amazing time and were such well cared for during their stay! 10/10 would recommend Crystal for taking care of your fur baby, she provided us daily updates and tons of pictures of our dogs!!!”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”
“Dahzi took such wonderful care of Teddy this weekend! It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such loving, attentive hands. Teddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly adored. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Dahzi again!”
“Thanks Jill for watching Grace. Its nice that you are so close to us. Thanks for sending pictures of grace & glad she got along with the other golden doodle that was there.”
“Torey was great with our pups. I have two puppies that we had to find a sitter for for a surprise vacation. I was super nervous about leaving the little guys behind. She sent pictures and updates everyday & was great with communication. Thanks Torey! I will definitely recommend you and would 100% use again.”
“Allyson was amazing!! She sent pictures during our trip and kept us updated on how Pedro was doing! He was so happy and worn out when finally got home. Thank you so much!”
“Patricia is the only sitter I will now go to on Rover. She is incredibly attentive and caring towards every little soul that she takes into her home. Lola comes back so happy and healthy every single time. Thank you for everything!”
“I couldn’t have found a better sitter for my Lucy. Lucy is used to staying with friends and has been so anxious since moving to Omaha. I was so nervous because we are new to town and we don’t know anyone and I was in need of a sitter to watch Lucy for almost a week. Emily kept me updated with tons of pictures the entire time. She assured me that Lucy was safe and in good hands. I highly recommend Emily to watch your pups.”
“Flights got messed up. Doyle and Mike graciously took care of our little one for an extra night, and it was such a relief to not worry about hunter while we dealt with everything else.”
“Highly recommended, my big boy (English mastiff) had a good time, they sent me pictures and videos and also they gave him his medication Of course he will comeback”
“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!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 435 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.
90% 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.
