“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!”
“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!”
“Amanda was a lifesaver and amazing human from start to finish! We needed to board 2 dogs for 5 days and she said no problem. The night before our trip, our youngest dog was sprayed by a skunk! Despite 2 baths and our best efforts, the pupper still stunk and Amanda graciously accepted our booking!! We are beyond grateful to her for putting up with our stinker for 5 days. She seriously saved us during a very stressful time and we were the lucky ones for getting to board with her. Thank you thank you!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Miss Bailey was well looked after for the week we were gone. The family works together to help insure the dogs are safe and comfortable. Emily was very accommodating and a cheerful person to work with. We normally share sitting turns with our neighbors, but we’re out of town at the same time. With short notice Emily fit us in so we could go see our granddaughter be born. The family was fantastic. I would highly recommend Emily and Jim for your fur baby needs! James and Mary.”
“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”
“Amanda and Rae did a phenomenal job of taking care of my dog Dozer. They communicated with me daily and sent photos of him during his stay. We even did a FaceTime chat before he went to their home since I was moving to Omaha from another state so they could see and learn about him. I will definitely be using them to watch my pets when I am out of town.”
“Andrea and her family are the best boarders we've ever used!! Lady is so at home at their house and she is showered with love and attention. We are so lucky to have had them watch her twice now. 🥰🫶 If it always works out in the future, I would use Andrea exclusively as our boarder! Thank you so much for having Lady again! We are so lucky to have found you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“We are so happy to be able to trust Kylie and Landon with Hooch! It was hard for us to be away for so long but getting photos and updates made the separation much easier. We could tell how happy Hooch was while we were gone!”
“Big boy had a wonderful stay. Amber kept me updated with pictures every day of his stay. I would definitely recommend her for you fur kids stay. I will be using her in the future. Thanks Amber!!”
“Kay and Hutch were amazing! Our dog was truly home away from home in their care! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog, here are just a few things they did: lots of pictures, videos and text updates, numerous walks, plenty of toys, and they have a few puzzle boards that they hid treats in! Wonderful people, and a wonderful stay for our pet! We would 100% have them watch our dog again! Our dog had so much fun she has been missing them! Thank you again!”
About: We’re a dog-loving family with 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for our own pets and others. My husband has had dogs his entire life, and our home is full of genuine love for animals. We have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication and accommodating mobility issues with patience and care. Our home setup allows us to safely separate dogs when needed, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. For safety and routine, we do ask that dogs are crate trained for overnight stays. Most pets enjoy relaxing on our main floor or in our finished basement, where they’re treated like part of the family. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to provide consistent care and attention. Dogs are let out regularly every 4 hours, depending on their needs, and I make time for walks and outdoor breaks whenever the weather allows. My flexible schedule helps ensure your pet stays comfortable, active, and well cared We prioritize routine, consistency, and attention in our daily care. Dogs can be fed on your schedule, within reason, and are given frequent opportunities for outdoor time and exercise. Weather permitting, we incorporate playtime outside, and in the evenings, pets receive plenty of interaction, affection, and engagement.
“Had a great experience with Jodie Highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services. She treated my dog as her own and kept sending me regular updates. She cares so much and went above and beyond to ensure that my dog gets the best care. My dog came back so happy. Thanks Jodie for all you have done We greatly appreciate it”
“Sarah and Jason took Maggie in last minute and did great! They took great care of her and made sure she wasn't too anxious. Mag got lots of pets and outside time, her two favorite things! Definitely would book again.”
About: I've had dogs for almost 30 years. I understand their temperament, needs, and can recognize when they're in need. I've bred dogs, so I've cared for them from pregnancy, to infancy, to end of life. I've had dogs since I was a child, so they are always factored into my daily routine. I live 10 minutes from base and I set my own hours, so I can come home to take care for them as frequently as needed. My dogs have access to food and water 24/7. I own my home and have a fenced in back yard. I'm military with a clearance, so my trustworthiness is undeniable. I live a stable life, so clients don't have to worry about their pet while they're at my home.
“Amanda and her husband took great care of Ewee! Ewee seemed a little nervous at first because she's not use to being around other dogs on a regular basis but, she easily adapted. I would truly recommend Amanda to care for your hairy baby any day. We'll definitely use her again to care for her. Thank you Amanda for being there in our time of need! Go Rover!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 439 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Springfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
