“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”

“This was our first time using Rover. We are planning a longer boarding stay and wanted to do a test run day. Amanda made Marty and Millie feel right at home and shared photos/updates throughout the day on how they were doing. It really helped us to feel good about their upcoming three night stay!”

“Our dog, Bella, comes home happy from Bethany's house. She gets some quality time and play with other dogs and with children. She doesn't get that at home with two old people. Thank you, Bethany!”

“Joan is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She was great to communicate with leading up to the stay, and kept us informed through texts and pictures of how Mia was doing while she was there. Mia was worn out after her day of fun at Joan's house. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future needs!”

About: I have two cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and ages, from tiny kittens to big goofy pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle duty, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe. Hi! I’m an animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My schedule is really flexible, which means I’m around during the day and in the evenings to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, and snuggles. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extra playtime, I’ve got them covered. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and routines to keep them secure, and I make sure they’re comfortable in a calm, loving environment. You’ll always get updates so you know your furry friend is happy and safe.

About: I am a retired and stay at home pet mom. I’m the mom of four Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who are the ages of 11, 5, 4 and 2. I’ve had each of them from the age of 8 weeks old. I’m a patient and loving pet mom and my pups and kitty are spoiled rotten. I specialize in caring for your dog’s diet as my four each have their own special needs. My senior dog has an occasional seizure, and I care for him with calm and caring attention. My only must would be that your dog is friendly and not aggressive with others as my dogs are very calm natured and sensitive to too much excitement. We will give your fur baby lots of love, play and stimulation while you can enjoy knowing your baby is safe and well taken care of. Our family plans a lot of activities end of week and weekends, but if you need a play date Monday - Thursday, those are our quiet days to give extra attention to your pup! We have the perfect fenced in and safe yard to play in. My younger two Cavaliers are playful and may bark at a newcomer at first, but will end up being friends in no time.

About: My experience caring for dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. As a rescue dog mom, I have a special place in my heart for shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs dogs. I understand that building trust takes time, and I always use a gentle, positive, non-violent approach. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering care as instructed, and giving pets the extra reassurance they need to feel safe. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. 🐾 I work Sundays through Wednesdays, with long shifts on Sundays, so I’m unavailable that day. Monday through Wednesday, I’m happy to care for pets as long as they’re comfortable being home alone while I’m at work. My home is dog-proofed, and I’m comfortable with dogs who are not kennel-trained or who have free roam of the house. I want every dog to feel safe and comfortable in an environment that suits their needs! My home has a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and a walking trail right out back for walks and good sniffs! I have one shy but friendly small pup who loves people and typically lets other dogs make the first move. She is very gentle and respectful of other dogs’ space, making her a great companion for dogs who enjoy having a calm canine friend around. I want every dog in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and free to settle in at their own pace.
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages!

I’m available on weekends and weekdays for check-ins and have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to play!

I’m especially available on weekends and love spending my free time with animals! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and give every pet plenty of attention, cuddles, and patience.
About: My Fiancé and I have 3 dogs of our own. We have a 13 year old Terrior Mix, a 8 year old Yorkie and a 1 year old Lhasa Apso. We also have an 9 year old child here part time. I work from home so I am available at all times for boarding and can make almost anything work for drop in visits and walking. We have had our dogs for many years so we are well versed in caring for dogs of all wants and needs. We believe time spent with dogs is the most important.

“My dog Mollie stayed with Donna for doggy day care. Mollie was immediately comfortable around Donna and was sufficiently tired when I took her home. Donna was very welcoming and prompt when it came to responding to my messages. She sent me updates through pictures and gave me a feedback of Mollie's stay. Great experience!”
“Ainsley was great! My little dog seemed completely comfortable at her home and was obviously happy when I picked him up. I definitely would recommend her as a sitter — she’s very kind, a great communicator, and clearly loves animals. Will ask her to watch my dog again. Thanks Ainsley! A+++”


About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 275 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Springfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 275 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NE. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
