About: I got my first dog when I was 15 years old. I potty trained him myself, took him on multiple walks a day, and spoiled him rotten. He lived for 16 years. My future puppy is 3 weeks old and will be a service dog for me. I plan to train him myself with professional guidance and also get him certified as a therapy dog! My schedule is very flexible for the time being and I would be able to start assisting with your pet care needs today! I am open to helping out with dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have a fenced in backyard, my cats get filtered ice water daily, and they only eat the best food on the market. I am a nurse so I am also very good at giving medications if needed. I will definitely give your animal lots of love and kisses as well!

About: Hey y’all! I have over 6 years of experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and needs! I have a pug named Hubble who is my whole world and I would love to take care of your whole world! Your pet will fit into my routine by adapting fairly well and making changes to my schedule at a short notice. My favorite part of the day is being around animals! I love going out for walks or just playing inside (after going potty of course)! As previously stated, I love being around animals and providing the best care to put your mind at ease!
About: I have had dogs all of my life....big and small. I have trained my malshi to sit and stay and go through the doggy door and reacts to certain commands! Mostly weekends, but evenings during the weekdays work for us as well! I am in sales so I come home every now and then during the day! I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for small dogs if needed! Our backyard is very large for all size dogs to run around!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love and understanding of dogs! I have two adorable toy poodles one is 2 years old and the other is just 8 months and they are truly my babies. Through raising them, I’ve gained a lot of experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’ve spent about a year in total attending training sessions to learn how to read dog behaviors, recognize their comfort levels, and train them with patience and love. I can tell when a dog is happy, nervous, or unsure, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve personally trained both of my dogs, and they are sweet, well-behaved pups thanks to the time and effort I’ve put in. I would treat your dogs just like I do mine—with kindness, attention, and lots of love! I also offer a safe and happy home environment with a fenced-in yard where dogs can play freely and securely. I work from home two days a week, so I’m able to keep an eye on your pet and provide care, snuggles, and playtime throughout the day. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I promise to care for your dog like they’re part of the family. Whether they’re a playful puppy or a senior who just wants to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I currently work full time, but I’m usually available after 5:30 PM on weekdays to provide care, playtime, and attention to your pet. On weekends, I’m very flexible and available most of the time, which allows for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays if needed. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy. Two days a week, I work from home, which gives me even more flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether that means letting them out for potty breaks, giving them one-on-one attention, or simply being there so they’re not alone, I’m able to provide a calm and caring environment. Since I already care for my own two dogs daily, routines like feeding, walking, and playtime are already built into my day. Adding more furry friends to that routine is something I truly look forward to it’s not just a task, but something I genuinely love doing! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can play and explore safely, along with a variety of dog toys and puzzles to keep them engaged and entertained. Inside, I have three separate rooms, which makes it easy to give dogs their own space if they need a break or prefer quiet time. Since I have two toy poodles of my own, I also have plenty of cozy blankets, beds, and enrichment toys to help make every dog feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the dog and their space with the utmost respect and care—just as I would hope someone would do in my own home. I follow all instructions provided, stick to the dog’s usual routine, and make sure to respect any house rules or preferences. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for in a familiar setting, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family!

As a dog walker I will respect your home and space by not touching or wandering in spaces that I don’t need to be in.

“Kai was a great sitter for our baby Pebble (cat)! We came back home after a 6ish day trip and everything felt even more in order than we had left it. Pebble had an upset stomach and Kai was great about communicating how he was doing and making sure Pebble was well cared for when he was here as well as recommending remedies and health care we could try when we got back from our trip. When our automatic litter box got jammed, Kai was proactive about noticing that and even replaced the whole litter bag for us. Offers great communication such as photos and a summary of how each visit went. We will be thrilled going forward to use Kai if we ever need to go out of town.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Springfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
