“Kelsey was the best cat sitter! She was so attentive to our fluffy friends and texted me to double check certain things. She also sent us lots of cute pictures of our cats which we loved. I’m so grateful that we found her!”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal lover with 7 years of pet care experience. After taking some time away from Rover, I'm excited to welcome new clients and get back to doing something I genuinely love. I enjoy caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, and species. I'm comfortable working with energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, additional assistance, and more specialized care. I'm also comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, and providing basic bathing services. I understand that every animal has different needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet receives individualized attention and care. My love for animals extends beyond just dogs and cats. I have a genuine interest in reptiles, amphibians, and other small or exotic animals as well. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and care requirements. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have flexible availability throughout the week and am happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I'm looking to take on regular clients as well as occasional bookings. I enjoy staying busy and would love to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday visits, afternoon care, or extra attention throughout the day, I'm happy to discuss scheduling! Your pets safety and comfort are always my priority. I make sure every animal is properly cared for, fed on schedule, given fresh water, and taken outside or provided with appropriate bathroom breaks as needed. I'm comfortable administering medications according to owner instructions, caring for senior pets and puppies, and providing basic baths when requested. I always follow your household routines and specific care instructions. I believe in being patient, attentive, and respectful of every pet's individual needs and personality.
“Siobhan did a great job looking after our shy kitties while we were away. She was professional and friendly, prompt to reply to our request, and everything looked great when we returned. We recommend Siobhan as a cat sitter, and would be happy to have her take care of the cats again.”
“Teresa did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She is great with communication and sent us plenty of great (and artistic!) photos! She followed all our instructions and is very kind and caring. She even made our cat's birthday extra special. We returned home to very happy cats. We highly recommend! Thanks again, Teresa!”
“Melanie was a life saver. I was on a trip for Christmas. The family friend of my husband was supposed to watch Isabel. We had not heard from her for 18 hrs. So I had a friend check on Isabel. But, she could only do it for 2 days and we were going to be gone for another day. On Dec 24th at the last minute, Melanie took my emergency visit for the 25th and at am amazing rate. Thank you so much for helping Isabel and our sanity. I will definitely be asking in the future and recommending you to everyone”
“Rosa was so wonderful with my two cats, she took her time to make them feel comfortable and gave them lots of attention. She did a great job of sending photos and providing updates to keep me posted on how the visit was going. I will definitely book Rosa as a pet sitter again in the future!”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and a true animal lover :) I have provided caring and compassionate pet care for the cats and dogs of my friends, family members and neighbors for several years. Previously, I have worked for a dog-walking agency and have received formal First Aid training in pet care. My work schedule varies day to day, which means our schedule will depend on the day and the service being provided. When I am working from home, I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, tons of play time and scheduled feedings as requested by the humans! If you and pup are interested in long walks and/or outside time, we will make it happen! If your dog is more chill and laid-back, I can provide attentive and gentle care, and relaxation time. I am happy to crate your puppy/dog if requested. For cat owners, I am very cautious moving in and out of an individual’s home - I know from experience that sometimes they try to sneak out the door to explore! I believe a primary component of building trust with a client is consistent communication, so I prioritize keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day.
About: I helped raise our family dog, a golden doodle for his 10 years so far with us. We also just brought in a stray puppy in January, so I am familiar with the puppy stage. He was probably 3 months when we got him and he’s now a year old at least. I am currently free all day everyday during the summer. However when the year starts when I will be free after school on weekdays, because I plan to substitute teach. I will still be available weekends though. I love all animals and I promise to do my best to keep your animals safe. I am organized and will follow the directions I am given to keep your animals safe.
“Maya is amazing!! She took so many cute pictures and really made me feel better about leaving our kitty at home for a couple days. She was super responsive and gave lots of good updates. She’s my first pick from now on!”
“Rachel did a fabulous job of caring for our shy, skittish cat Isa. After initially hiding, Isa responded to Rachel's skills of attraction by playing with the wand and allowing Rachel to pet her. Rachel sent pictures daily, showing Isa playing and rolling over ecstatically to be petted (a real sign of trust). I highly recommend Rachel for any pet care position. She is communicative, caring, and obviously loves her charges.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and have worked as a nutritionist at a holistic pet store for close to 4 years. I love animals and I love interacting with them! I currently work a part time job that only gives me 20-25 hours a week. Other than that I am completely available, as long as it fits into my current schedule. I cannot take animals into my own apartment, but I am more than happy to care for animals in their own home. I am well experienced in keeping a close eye on animals and love communicating with owners about their pets wellbeing.
About: Living vicariously through pet sitting so that I don't have 20 dogs of my own. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart! With three dogs of my own, I understand that every pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether your dog is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, or a high-energy ball of chaos, I'm here for it! I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own, with plenty of love, patience, playtime, and maybe a little extra spoiling! 🐾❤️ I'm a full time real estate agent looking to fill my downtime with what I love the most, animals! Flexible to fit your pets needs. I have a fully fenced back yard and a home with great division if needed. We have one dog (male fixed black lab) full time and 3 total part time. Wether your pet is best at their own home or love exploring new places, I can accommodate.
About: Hi, I'm Desiree! I live in the hills in Southwest Eugene with my family & fur babies: four dogs, a cat, and a bunny. So animals are my everyday life. I know that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I treat every pet like one of my own: lots of cuddles & attention, consistent routines, and clear updates, so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I have such a passion for doing this because when I’ve had to leave my fur babies it was really hard. I’m hoping to put you at ease knowing your fur baby is receiving love and attention while you are gone 💙💜 I currently work full time but my position is one that I get to work from home. So I am available anytime to watch the animal or walk them. My dogs and bunny would stay upstairs and there is a whole living area on the second floor. There is a gate on the stairs separating the living areas (due to my dog having bad hips). Your pet gets a fenced yard / daily walks and outdoor time, regular meals on your schedule, fresh water, and plenty of attention and play. I'm comfortable giving medications and following special diets or recovery instructions, and I'll send photo or video updates during every stay. Dogs sleep inside with us. We can do a meet-and-greet first so your pet can get comfortable with me.
“As always, Abbigail is a wonderful sitter for my pet and I feel very at ease knowing that my cat is well cared for. She keeps me updated with texts and pictures and is always on time for her visits.”
“Tara did a great job dropping in to take care of my kitty while I was away! She sent lots of picture updates and my shy kitty even came out to play with her. I came home to bowls of clean water and fresh food. I will definitely use Tara again when I'm going out of town and can't take my fur baby with me.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of many different breeds and ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs who needed extra comfort and care in their final weeks. I’ve never lived without a dog or cat in my house, and I truly can’t imagine life without pets. I’m comfortable administering medication, giving baths, providing sanitary trims, and adjusting walks and activities to each pet’s needs. I also have experience with basic training and have taught all of my dogs commands like sit, down, and shake. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine to ensure that they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Whether they need regular check-ins, extra attention, or just some company during the day, I’m happy to work around what’s best for them. I have a very happy dog and cat who can keep your pet company if they’re comfortable around other animals. If they’d prefer their own space, I also have a separate downstairs room where I can keep my pets so your pet can feel fully comfortable!
About: I've loved and taken care of dogs since I was around 12 years old and I had several dogs of my own and I have experience fostering dogs as well. I have worked with dogs of all ages - from puppies to elderly dogs - and I have experience administering meds and caring for ill dogs. I've worked with all kinds of dogs - from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I've been a stay-at-home dad for the last 13 years and have worked from home for 8 years. I have ample availability during the day to walk your dog(s) and to feed and care for them according to their needs. I treat all animals with kindness, and will carefully and considerately follow any and all care instructions. I have experience getting dogs into their crates or kennels and administering meds to dogs.
About: I have three beautiful cats at home that are super energetic and snuggly! My family had cats while I was in high school and I love being around all animals! Just moved to Eugene from Tennessee and currently have open availability! I’m an early riser so if you need a dog walked in the morning, I’ve got you! I have a car and am willing to walk or bus as well! Our house is plentiful of cat trees, window perches and tunnels! We give them fresh food and water every day and they all get individualized attention! I will do the exact same for your pets!
About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home and I’ve loved every each one of them. I currently have 2 cats and 3 other in the house from my roommates. my youngest is a 5 month old orange tabby named boots and my oldest is a 8 year old calico named Nora. I’ve taken care of rotties, huge huskies, German shepherds, border collies, chihuahuas along with many many cats! I’m ready to give your pets the love and care that they need! ❤️ I am currently working a full time job, but I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week so I have 4 days available a week to tend to your pets! I have very playful kittens in home and a huge area around me to take your dogs on plenty of walks! I also have multi dog parks around my apartment!
About: Hi! My name is Camila, and I’m a senior at the University of Oregon. I’ve grown up around animals and have two dogs of my own who now live with my parents in Portland. They’re getting older and love being at home with my parents, but I definitely miss having dogs around while I’m at school! I’ve cared for my own dogs my entire life and have also helped care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at once, handling larger dogs, and caring for older dogs who may need a little more patience and attention. I also had a cat for many years, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I love being outside and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to give your dog plenty of exercise and attention. I currently work part-time as a medical assistant at a pain specialty clinic, which gives me plenty of availability during the week for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting before or after work. I’m responsible, patient, and would treat your pets like I would my own! I currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday, so I have plenty of availability throughout the rest of the week for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I’m also available after 6 p.m. on the days that I work and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I would make sure to follow whatever routine and instructions you have for your pets because I know every pet is different. I’m happy to do walks, feeding, medications, playtime, or anything else they normally need. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable and get plenty of attention while you’re away, and I’ll always treat your home and pets with the same care I would my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Shea was super responsive to our last-minute request. We did a meet and greet to make sure our dog would get along with their dogs. Shea was super responsive to all text and communication and sent pictures. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again.
Karina is always great! She’s kind, and so great at communicating with us, even if it’s just small updates on our pet’s activities that day. Leaving our pet under Karina’s care guarantees our peace of mind, and he loves her visits! We can’t recommend Karina enough :)
Siobhan did a great job looking after our shy kitties while we were away. She was professional and friendly, prompt to reply to our request, and everything looked great when we returned. We recommend Siobhan as a cat sitter, and would be happy to have her take care of the cats again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Springfield is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 160 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
