“Justine is the best sitter ever! She does an amazing job with my two dogs by feeding, cleaning up after them! She sends me daily updates and photos of them what they are doing. I highly recommend Justine!”
“Alexandra is a great pet sitter and I recommend her 100%!! She took wonderful care of my two young cats and I was able to relax while I was away, knowing they were in good hands. She was really communicative with me and I could see from the photos she sent me that she was able to win over the trust of my somewhat shy kitties. :) Couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“Julie did great! Max loved the walks and the ball tosses. Sasha is 16 and has trouble walking, taking her medicine and sometimes has accidents and Julie took good care of her, took her for short walks, got her to take her pills most of the time.”
“Julia provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were out of town. She is very knowledgeable and responsive to their needs, both dogs being reactive on leash and Jac being blind and needing daily medication. We would recommend Julia and will be booking her services again!”
“Tina is an amazing sitter for our girls! Her love for animals shines through her personality. She’s very responsive to requests and our girls enjoy their time with her. If you are looking for a loving, caring and reliable sitter, Tina is your gal!”
“Mariam was wonderful with my dog! She always made sure he had fresh water before she left, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, caring, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with her again!”
“We are repeat customers of Kristine which says a lot. Pippa was well cared for and comfortable. Kristine was flexible as our needs changed. We will be calling her again. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. We currently have a dog, a cat and a tortoise, that love to run and play all day. I have cared for puppies all the way up to senior dogs and dogs that need special care. We would love to check on your pet, give them the love and walks and care they need while you’re away. I am off for the summer and have a flexible schedule to come check on/care for/walk your pet (any pet) while you’re away. I have 2 kids who love to help and tag along (but if that’s not possible that is ok) if that is allowed with your pet. We love to love on pets while their family is away and we would love to care for them! I am off during the summer and very flexible! I have 2 kids that do love to come and help BUT if it is not fusible with your pet we can work around it :? Currently, dogs would not be the best pet in our home. I can come to your house and check on ANY animal. We have cared for and have had part of our family reptiles, fish, cats, dogs…
About: As a pre-veterinary student, I provide more than just pet sitting—I bring knowledge, patience, and a genuine passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other small animals through both personal ownership and animal care work. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive, reliable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. I'm currently home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Aside from occasional appointments and errands, I'm home throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, as I have pets of my own with established care schedules. Adding your pet into that routine allows me to provide consistent feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I always work to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, medical needs, and any household rules so I can provide care that's both safe and consistent. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely supervise interactions. I carefully introduce new situations at each pet's comfort level and never leave animals in unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any specific care requests exactly as directed. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pre-veterinary student, I'm attentive to changes in an animal's behavior or health and won't hesitate to contact you—and, if necessary, seek veterinary care—if I have concerns.
“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
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.
“Heather has done drop-ins for our dog Hachi (180 lb Great Dane), and has always been great. We feel comfortable with her coming by our apartment and making sure he gets a potty break and has food/water available. Heather has also been flexible with last minute changes and requests, which is something that’s extremely helpful when things don’t always go according to plan. I am leaving this review after our second booking, but I know we’ll be reaching out again for future drop-ins. We’re very pleased with her services and recommend her! Thank you Heather.”
About: Hello I’m Bianca! I am entering my senior year at U of O, barista at Dutch, and I want to love/care for your fur kids! I grew up with 3 corgis in my family, so I learned daily dog care early on with walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. Since then, I’ve taken care of family dogs and dogs belonging to close family friends, and I even dog sat for a breeder with more than 10 dogs at once, so I’m familiar with managing multiple dogs with different personalities, and busy households. I treat every pet like my own and can’t wait to be their new bestie 😋 I work part-time at Dutch Bros, so my schedule shifts week to week and I don’t have fixed days off. That said, I’m generally very flexible and can definitely work around my shifts to fit in walks and drop ins. Just send me your dates and I’ll let you know what works! 😊 Since I’ll mostly be taking care of pets at your home, I like to stick as close as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, and whatever you’re used to doing. I’m careful about stuff like keeping doors and gates shut, giving meds if needed, and just making sure your pet feels comfortable the whole time. I love sending updates and photos so you’re not stressing while you’re away!

Not only did Maya respond very quickly, she took us on super last minute after our dog sitter had to cancel. She is a delight. Super timely, willing to make early morning visits, and as an extra bonus was able to get our elderly picky eater to eat the entire time we were away. She sent pictures and a brief synopsis of our dog’s well-being every visit. We can’t recommend her enough!! Thanks Maya.
Adam has always been very communicative and flexible when we have booked him to visit our pups. He is very patient with our Luna, who doesn't warm up as easily, and always has a blast playing with Bucket, who has a ton of energy. This time Adam went above and beyond when Bucket tore his nail off while playing; Adam took him to the vet to get checked out while we couldn't be reached, and by the time we had seen the messages, Bucket was already in a cone and back at home. This pivoted our plans for the rest of Adam's visits to all walks instead of sometimes yard play, and he was very adaptable and helped make sure both dogs were exercised safely. We highly recommend Adam! Thank you!
Kelsie did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Rukus, while I was away. She stopped by every day for four days, stayed for the full hour, and was always on time. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Rukus was doing well. When I got home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Kelsie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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.
To find sitters in Springfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
