About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.

About: Hi, I'm Jackson an experienced pet owner and sitter. I have experience with anxious and nervous pets and consider myself a calm person to be around. I'm currently in the works of becoming a dog trainer, so I can offer a more rounded list of services. In general, I offer enrichment activities ranging from daily walks to playing their favorite game as I believe that while the parents are gone, you should spoil the pet. I work a hybrid of WFH and in person work on Monday and Friday mornings. This allows me to be there for your pet most of the time. I keep a clean and tidy space as I want to always make sure that there isn't clutter or something the pet could get into.

About: I have had my dog for about 4 and a half years and I love hanging out with him and going on walks. I've been around animals my whole life though, and we have always had cats around, and even fostered for about five years. I did lots of work with neighbors and friends Cat and Dogsitting as well, so I have been around dogs a lot. I am around for a good chunk of the summer, and will be until late September when i leave for college, but until then I usually walk my own dog consistently, and I will be available a lot to come take your dog for a walk too. I care for all animals, and at my house we never really have our dog crated unless we aren't home, (he is still young and loves counter surfing), and I can guarantee the same when I am watching your pet, that they will be treated respectfully, loved, and have a great time.

She was also willing to meet up beforehand and go over all of his specific needs. I would recommend. Thank you sarah ! :)”

About: Caring for pets has been an important part of my life for as long as I remember and I know how important it is that our furry family members get the best care when we are away. From daily feeding, playtime, and training to handling medications, vet visits, trips to the emergency vet, I've done it all. I volunteer weekly at the Greenhill Humane Society socializing shy and nervous cats and have completed a course in pet CPR and first aid. With an 18-month-old boxer of my own, I know all about working with exuberant dogs and puppies and am always learning new training techniques to help with enrichment and obedience. A few things I would like every pet parent to provide me before I care for their pet. We can discuss this, and anything that I missed, when we first meet. - Expected arrival and departure dates and time - Emergency contacts besides yourself - Feeding schedule and instructions, including treats allowed - Health conditions to be aware of - Detailed medication instructions if needed - Name and address of their vet - Closest emergency vet - Pet temperament (fears, anxieties, etc) - Toys and favorite games - Where pet(s) sleep - Where they are and are not allowed in the house or yard (if dog) Dog: - Their potty habits - Equipment such as harnesses, leashes, poop bags, treats etc. - Anything I need to know about their behavior outside of the home (walking, in the car, around other animals and people) - Crate rules (if used) House (if housesitting): - Alarm instructions if applicable - Trash, recycling, and mail/package handling - Location of pet supplies - Location of thermostats, electrical panels, laundry, etc. - Wifi password, remote controls, etc. - Any service professionals who might visit during the stay (cleaners, yard maintenance, etc.) - Expectations around plants, mail, clean-up before your return I'm retired from the UO, so outside of my volunteer hours (~6 hours/week), my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with the schedule that suits your pets needs. Meeting your pet's needs is my highest priority, whether it is playtime, quiet affection, a long walk, or simple companionship. I ask that all pet owners leave detailed instructions on their pet's needs, including what treats they can have, medications required, how they like to play, what actions or situations might cause anxiety, and all information for vet care and emergency contacts.

A little keepsake of their time with their Furry Nanny! My goal? To become your dog’s second-best friend (because nobody can replace you)! 🐾❤️ 🐾 A Day in the Life of Your Furry Nanny! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I’m an active dog mom who loves walking, running, hiking, and staying fit. I enjoy incorporating playtime, outdoor adventures, and plenty of cuddles into each pup’s routine! ❤️ I share my home with two furry companions: Maxx, my playful husky, and Taquito, my sweet Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix. Maxx loves having fun, while Taquito enjoys relaxing and soaking up affection! 🐶 I work Mondays and Tuesdays from 5–11 PM and Saturdays and Sundays from 7 AM–3 PM. My boyfriend is my secondary caregiver and helps care for our furry guests while I’m working. We also live with two other family members who are comfortable around dogs and lend a helping hand when needed.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

About: I’ve never known life without animals. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, and horses, and have been responsible for animal care in some form since I was around six. Today, I have three dogs and three cats of my own, including two dogs under 1.5 years old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, training routines, enrichment, walks, and consistency. I also have experience caring for senior pets, cats and dogs with different medical needs, and animals who need a little more patience or structure. I’m comfortable giving oral and injected medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and noticing when something seems off. I’m also very active and love hiking, so I’m happy to tailor exercise to the dog in front of me — whether that means a relaxed neighborhood walk, a longer adventure, extra sniffing and enrichment, or helping a high-energy dog burn off some steam. What I bring most is a lot of real-life animal experience, patience, and attention to detail. I know the small things matter when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am self-employed and work from home M-Th, so I can work anywhere and have long weekends. My work days are completely on my own schedule, so I have time for potty breaks, walks, play time, or drop in visits whenever needed. I'm happy to help with your pets on any schedule. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take the time to understand their specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise preferences, and any household rules before care begins. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pets and the space, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect safety. I also pay close attention to behavior and changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their usual routine as possible while you’re away.

About: I have had family dogs for my whole life, and taken care of dogs since I was very young of all sizes. As I see dogs as family, I always treat them with respect and kindness. I am currently doing online summer classes at the UO and have no other obligations, so I’m free most days of the week to provide quality pet care! When pet sitting for others I make sure to keep your space as close to how you left it as possible, respecting your home as well as your pet.

About: I’ve raised two reactive dogs. One towards humans and one towards other dogs. This has taught me a lot of skill to keep the dog and others safe. I had a 16 year old pit bull mix who taught me about taking care of elderly dogs, such as changing diapers and giving medication. I truly love all animals and they are always my number 1 priority when I’m around them! I am very flexible with working all days on weekdays and if really needed open to weekends as well. Shoot me a text and I’m sure we can find a time! Whatever the owner says, goes. My interest is in creating the best environment for your pet. You know your pet better than anyone so I’m gonna listen to you. If I were to take your pet to my house, I do not have a fenced yard so they would stay inside with me whenever we are not walking or going on adventures. I’m a huge outdoor guy and if you have an active pup who loves the nature I would also love to go on hikes with them.

About: Hi! My name is Stella, and I’m a senior at the University of Oregon. I’m looking for dog walking and cat or dog sitting opportunities to stay busy while I’m away from my own pets. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, senior dogs, dog walking, and managing households with multiple animals. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, surfing, trying new restaurants and cafés, and reading. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available before and after classes for walks, feeding, and check-ins, with full availability on weekends for more flexible care. I prioritize creating a safe and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency. I ensure pets receive plenty of attention and supervision while keeping their environment clean. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away.

About: Having pets is more then having a little creature live in your home, it’s having a family member and loved one. Growing up, pets were always considered family and deserving of the upmost love, attention and care. I carry that with me when taking care of others babies! My number one priority will always be your pets safety and happiness! I love to find new games and new smells with the pets in my care, because it’s so important for their brains to be stimulated. My cat, Mr. Stinks and I love to play hide and seek! P.S I love to capture your pets sweet and silly moments, so you will receive some great photos! I am currently a student working part-time and my schedule can be pretty flexible! I am available most nights, afternoons and early mornings to check your pets, take them on walks or even just provide some extra cuddles.

If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! My biggest concern will always be your pets safety and happiness.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Springfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Springfield is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 903 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 Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Springfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
