“Jackie always does a fantastic job when watching my dog. There was some bad weather while she had Kiko and she let me know right away that they were all safe and that Kiko was in the basement with them. She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend, and I always know Kiko is having fun and getting lots of love when he goes to Jackie's!”
“We’d never done private personal dog care before and we were blessed to have Bethany be our first sitter. Bethany was very attentive as if Jax was her own dog. Staying with Bethany and her family seemed to keep Jax calm and relaxed. We will ask for Bethany 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!”
“Torey did an awesome job with our fur babies, Lilly & Nikki. They were happy and well taken care of. Their behavior was great returning home, compared to other stay overs or boarding. We definitely will use her again! Thank you Torey!!”
“What a wonderful first time experience! Stephanie and her family were wonderful with our 2 pups! It was so nice to have them in a home where they were cared for like we would care for them. It was great receiving pictures and/or videos of our pups while gone. We missed them so much and this always made it better! Thank you so much for everything! We’ll be coming back!”
“Our poodle had a wonderful stay and enjoyed playing with Cheryl's two dogs. Cheryl sent pics of the dogs and my family loved the updates. We hope to have our dog stay with Cheryl in the future! Thanks for a great weekend, Cheryl!”
“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”
“We have used Erin to watch our dog numerous times. Because she treats him like her own, he is extremely happy to stay with her. Our vacations are less stressful because we know our dog is in caring hands.”
“Chelsea’s care was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Kola arrived, it was clear she was treated like part of the family. Chelsea is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for—and it shows in every detail. Kola was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. I truly don’t think Kola could have been with a kinder, more thoughtful family. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. I would recommend Chelsea without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
“It was great! Elsa seemed comfortable as I left. The notes and pictures confirmed she was having a great time. Leaving her with a family is way better than leaving her with a kennel.”
“Best possible choice I could have hoped for! When we came for a visit to see if it would be a good fit, Annie was comfortable and at home immediately...the house had good doggie vibes. I knew then that it would be fine to leave her there. Patricia was in touch at least daily with pictures and what Annie was up to. Very responsive to any concerns and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I received a very calm and happy dog when I returned. Couldn't have asked for more! Would not hesitate to use Patricia again!”
“Wallie came home tired from his long weekend stay with Amanda and her dogs! I originally picked her because she was close to where I live but I would choose her again even if I lived further. Was provided plenty of photos and am confident that my dog was happy and healthy in her care.”
“Emily was fantastic. She sent photos and gave daily updates on how Roscoe was doing. Very comforting for our first experience with leaving our 10 mo old puppy. Would definitely have Roscoe stay with her again.”
“This was my first time boarding Henry with Melissa and it was a great experience. She was so accommodating and loving of Henry. She’s definitely an animal lover. Great communication with me as well. She sent me updates and pictures daily. Henry had lots of playtime and love. I will definitely be having her take care of Henry again!”
“Absolutely top-notch care for our two little Schnauzers who had only stayed away from us once in their lives! They walked them, played with them, took them to the dog park and even bathed them! We forgot their treats and they supplied them some!”
“Ashlee and her husband Jay were very nice. They understood our dog’s triggers especially over the Fourth of July weekend. They cared for him and were very accommodating and loving toward him.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 449 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.
