“We’ve had an excellent experience with Farrin! She has been walking our 7-month-old German Shepherd puppy, who is full of energy and still learning, and she handled her with such patience, care, and professionalism. We feel completely confident leaving our puppy in her care and really appreciate the reliability and communication as well. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”


About: I was raised on a farm and have cared for all sorts of animals my entire life. I now have a mature rough coat collie, Rhea. She is a very good companion for people and other pets. I worked as a Vet assistant, which included large animal surgeries. I ran the anesthesia. I rode on a Rescue Squad for 7 yrs and was a paramedic in the Military. I am very active and love spending time with pets. I am retired, very active, but I have plenty of time, energy, and love to give to your animal. I am available most any day/night. I have a large fenced-in yard. I have one very friendly fur baby to keep yours company. I have availability to crate your pets also if that is what your pet is comfortable with.

About: I have my own reactive dog I’ve learned so much about. In the 8 years we’ve had him, we have been able to watch his growth, and my own, as we’ve learned what his needs are. I have successfully brought a puppy into our home and trained him alongside our older, reactive dog. I understand the need for love and patience. I am a teacher in the Papillion district and would love to be involved in the community. I love animals, being outside, and creating relationships with new people. I am open during the summer and nights and weekend when school starts back up! I am experienced with my own reactive dog. I have learned so much about walking, crate training, and overall daily mental health stimulation for him. I understand the balance of love and support for animals who need extra care and attention.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. We also have a 4ft fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!
“Sierra is punctual, quick to respond and overall a very delightful person to work with. She took absolutely wonderful care of our dog and she’s a fast walker so our doggo got some good mileage on his walk.”


About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I've been taking care of my own personal pets since I was in high school. We currently have two dogs. A Golden Doodle and a Bichon. Our house is always busy. We have kids and dogs so someone is always home to watch after your pet and give lots of love! Can't wait to meet them!

About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.
“Danella is a dog whisperer from my perspective. She has been walking our 62 lb dog since Spring ’22. Of course our Rusty has fallen in love with her. She has even taught him some commands. Danella has lots of experience with many dogs especially since she also boards them at her home. She has many pictures of other peoples’ pets. Dogs are very important for her and she takes excellent care of our pup. I highly recommend Danella for any dog care you need.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me.

Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully.

I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I’ve pet sat for family and friends the last three years and have recently joined the pet care community! I’ve watched cats and dogs, ages ranging from babies to seniors, and care including feeding, walking, giving medications, and more. If you have special accommodations please don’t hesitate! I work in education so my summers are practically free, which means I can do mid-day check ins, walks, and more! I just ask for roughly 2-3 days notice:) I live in an apartment with two cats, and both are friendly towards cats and dogs! I have a gated patio so kitties can lounge in the sun, and pups have easy access to a grassy lawn. If you have any concerns, just ask:) I also provide at-home care if you’d like your babes to stay at home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,014 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Springfield.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
