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.
“Karina has done a great job consistently walking my two very rambunctious pups. She’s very good at balancing fun play time with training and ensure they are well behaved. The dogs are always ecstatic to see her. I have never had any issues contacting her and she goes above and beyond to send great updates on how the walks have gone and if she needs anything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I have helped take care and sit dogs since I was about 14. I always make sure each pup gets the same love and attention as well as catering to any special care they may need. I will care for every dog as if it was my own. I have fostered a few dogs over the years and have experienced a wide range of different breeds! I am a full time college student as well as working. With the free time I do have I would love to spend some of it with the fur babies! I have a decent amount of leisure time throughout the week and would love nothing more than spending it helping others and taking care of their pups! I will always make sure my full attention is on your pup and make sure to take not of any special care your dog may need. I will always make sure they get lots of attention and play time depending on their needs and will check in regularly with owners to ensure their pup is in good hands!
About: I have had pets my whole life- I grew up with cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas! I understand that all pets have different needs. I can be there for you when you can't, and will make sure your pet is cared for like my own. I love dogs and other pets too! I currently have 2 cats and want to make all cats my friend (even though they have their own thoughts on this!). I had a Frenchie for 10 amazing years, and grew up with Labs. I have a flexible schedule and am available most times. I can be available for pet routines or drop in visit, morning, mid day or afternoon/evening. I can come to you- in home visits, or dog walking. I am central to Eugene and have a reliable car for visits. I can visit mornings or afternoons.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, having grown up with pets. My experience includes daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship for both dogs and cats, which are my primary areas of expertise. In addition, I have hands-on experience caring for farm animals, such as horses. Animals have always been a passion of mine. Growing up, my dream was to own a no-kill animal shelter, and that passion continues to guide the way I care for every animal I meet. I am patient, dependable, attentive to animals needs, and committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra free time and flexibility. I am also a college student at Lane Community College and as we are on summer break I have so much extra time on my hands. I care for pets by knowing the clients environment and understanding what makes the pet feel the most comfortable. Being able to read and assess how the pet is feeling is a huge part of my service. My main goal is to leave you with zero doubt when trusting me with the care of your pet.
“Coco looks forward to her walks with Hayden each week. She is always so excited to see her! We both feel secure with Hayden taking her for walks and sniff fests!”
“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”
“When we lost our dog sitter I was devastated and nervous we wouldn't find another great fit. However, we feel so lucky to have found Sarah! She is so carrying, understanding, and just amazing with our high energy 1 year old dog. She truly understands that dogs come with their own unique quirks and does a great job at letting our boy know whose the boss. She listens to what your training goals are and helps you achieve it through consistency. Thank you so much Sarah!!!!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs, as well as helping my grandmother with her dogs. About a year ago I have been taking this more serious as a job and I have been helping family friends take care of their furry babies while they are out of town. I love it so much and keeps me company as well! I am currently enrolled at Lane Community College, where I am at school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12-3, and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10-12, then the rest of my day is completely free as well as weekends. At my apartment I have a fenced in dog park, as well as a bunch of access to parks and places to walk. I do have Roomate’s, and they are really welcoming and love animals as well.
“Pinch loves his walks/runs with Julia. He’s always excited to see her. Julia is always punctual and has great communication with us. She’s shared some beautiful photos of Pinch. Is accommodating when asked to increase walking time. We are grateful for her! We will continue to have Julia walk Pinch for however long it works for both of us”
About: Hi my name is Jamie, I’m a student that has a fair bit of extra time and I love dogs. I grew up with 4 large dogs and I enjoy taking care and simply just being around dogs. I’m used to all types of dogs and able to structure walks around their physical capabilities. I miss my dogs and it would be an honor to take care of yours. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages— puppies through senior citizens. I am active and athletic and would be more than willing to run, walk, hike, etc. with your puppies as you see fit! I look forward to working with you to make sure your dog has the best experience possible while in my care!
About: For ten years, my friends or family have trusted me to take care of their furry (or scaly) friends when they're away. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including elderly, disabled, shy, high energy, and/or rescue dogs and cats. I am a full-time student, but my hours are very flexible! This term (Spring 2026), the longest stretch I would have to be away is four hours (on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I am highly flexible with addressing your pet's unique social and exercise needs. I am open to taking them to a dog park, taking them on a hike, or whatever activity they enjoy. No worries if your pup is sensitive to other dogs/ children/ cats- I want them to be as comfortable as possible!
About: Hi, I'm Madeline! I'm always active taking my dogs for long walks and hikes, or to the local dog parks. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom. While I’m new to Rover, I bring years of trusted experience walking and sitting dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from playful 8-week-old puppies to wise 13-year-old seniors. The dogs I'm carrying in the photos have been family to me since they were pups, and ones I've had the pleasure of looking out for. Friends and family have relied on me time and time again, one even called me a dog whisperer after watching me connect with their strong-willed pointer mix! I’ve studied basic training techniques through a puppy obedience course, guidance from a professional trainer, and good ol' YouTube. These tools help me better understand each dog’s energy and needs, whether they’re high-reactive adventurers or mellow cuddlebugs. My goal is always to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet because I’d love to connect with you and your pup! Whether your pet needs regular daily walks, last-minute check-ins, or extended sitting while you're out of town, I’m here to help. My open availability means I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I've had the pleasure of dog sitting and walking for close friends and family, always making sure to follow any specific instructions provided. Since summer days can get especially hot, I’m always prepared by carrying a bag with essentials like water, a bowl, treats, poop bags, and a frisbee. For my dogs, if the pavement is too hot (I always check with the back of my hand), they wear protective boots to prevent burns, and if you're dog has some little booties, I'll make sure their paws stay protected and take frequent shade breaks. On those extra hot days when it’s safer to stay indoors, I make sure my dogs still get their energy out with games, enrichment toys, and fun training tricks. I love keeping things playful while prioritizing safety and well-being.
“Maddie is great! My dog needs a little extra and she is very patient and kind with her. Annabelle is always excited to see her and she gets a great walk everyday. With my busy schedule it's been a lifesaver!”
“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”

Mariam was amazing! Communication was great and very speedy. She was able to squeeze us in last minute for a meet and greet, and a walk the next day. She was so patient with our dogs needs and shared pictures to show how happy our dog was during their walk. We are so pleased and will continue to use Mariam as long as she’ll have us!
Karina (remember that song?), well Karina is a.wonderful walker and really cares for my getting old, Aggie. Calm, confident, responsible…most of all Aggie truly loves her. Karina made a daisy chain wreath for my seeet Aggie’s head. Aggie rides in a wagon and gets out to lay on the grass and smell the flowers. I live in Whittaker.
Morgan has been a fantastic, reliable dog walker. I liked that she asked thoughtful, relevant questions which helped me feel confident in her ability to care for Daphne. She did a great job following instructions and kept me up to date on any schedule changes within a reasonable timeframe (we did recurring weekly walks).

The average cost for Dog Walking in Springfield on Rover is $33.3 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
