“Our dog was very well taken care of while she was with Joel and Crystal. We were in town for a track meet, and it was perfect to be able to drop her off and pick her up after! We would do this again with Joel and Crystal for sure!!”
“Maple Bacon had the most wonderful stay with Mattea and her pups! I was nervous to leave Maple somewhere new but she sent soo many updates to reassure me. Maple can't wait to stay with her again!”
“Denise was amazing. Coffee gets anxiety being away from me and she was able to calm him down and he even jumped up in her lap for a nap by the middle of the day.”
“Claire was patient and kind with our younger rescue dog, Quince, who can get stressed in new environments. Our senior dog, Duncan, seemed to do great. We appreciated the pictures of their day and were happy they were comfortable enough to settle in for a snooze. Their home seemed warm and inviting with plenty of comfy spaces to cuddle up. Claire had some good insight for future visits, and we hope to be able to have our boys in her care in the near future.”
“Michelly was great with my 2 little guys who have not been to doggy daycare before. They were very nervous but Michelly has a very calm manner and allowed them to interact at their own comfort level. It was a successful day overall, and I will definitely recommend and use Michelly again as needed. Thank you Michelly! ???”
“Mari and Steve provided a wonderful experience from beginning to end. They took extra care to make our dog and us feel at ease, communication was quick, and our dog left daycare happy and well loved!”
“What a great experience. We needed a last minute day care and based on reviews we chose Sabrina and Derrick. They were thorough asking questions to be sure Skippy was a good fit. Their yard is perfect for dog play and the dogs are also allowed inside. They are obviously experienced with dogs and they are really kind, gentle people. I highly recommend them. Skippy was very relaxed and came back happy.”
“Jen and Josh are wonderful to work with - dog lovers, very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. They have an excellent set-up for a fun, safe "day camp" for dogs with different natures - active, chill, aloof, garrulous! Our little tugger is a playing machine, and initially presents as intense, so I wasn't sure if he'd fit in. Before taking us on, Jen and Josh met with us in person at their location, and on day 1, I felt that they were observing him carefully, based on Jen's updates. When visit #2 rolled around, as soon as we got to the front entrance where Jen was waiting, I became non-existent and the tugger embarked on a great day! I'm truly grateful to have found this setting- the tugger benefits greatly from the socializing and activity, and it happens in a secure place with attentive and caring humans!”
“I am so, so glad I found Ruthie! I’m in the process of moving back to Eugene after a long absence, and while house sitting this week, needed someone to watch my dog Everett for a few hours while I ran some errands. It’s been nonstop travel/driving/boxes all summer and was concerned that Ev would be freaked out by yet another change in scenery…but it was instantly clear during the meet and greet that Ruthie’s house, coupled with her training and experience, would make for an excellent home-away-from-home environment. She walked us through her space, asked great questions about Ev’s personality and needs, and left me feeling totally confident that Ev’s visit would go perfectly. And it did— Ev was relaxed and in a great mood when I picked him up, and I got some great pics of his day. I knew he would be in great hands and look forward to bringing him back!”
“Journey is the perfect sitter for our reactive baby. I could immediately tell she has lots of experience and is comfortable with even fearful dogs like ours. The thing about Journey that I am most appreciative of is that she has Fear Free certification. She showed in all her communication with me that she understood Guinness’s needs through his body language and was respectful of his boundaries (however long they lasted, apparently he got pretty cuddly!). I will definitely be bringing Guinness back for boarding, daycare, and probably grooming too. I can’t express how grateful I am to imagine being able to board Guinness and therefore travel again! Thank you, Journey!”
“Our pups were relaxed and happy when we picked them up. A good sign they got lots of cuddle time. We will definitely use Joshua when we are back in the area.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 18. Ive worked at multiple doggy day cares and training. I dont have any pets myself so your animal will have my full attention. I also take care of cats. I grew up with a ton in my family home. Im currently unemployed, I have been aboard. Im taking my time to find a job that involves pets. So my attention will be fully on your pet. I can care for your pets in whatever way you possible require. I have all the free time in the world to make sure your pet is taken care of.
“I am so glad I found Julie as I was looking for last-minute coverage for my sweet boy Everett…she was very accommodating of my schedule & responded right away to a change in drop off time I needed to make. She sent pictures during the visit and when I picked Everett up, she reflected on how he did based on info in his doggie bio (namely Ev’s quirky reactions to things like crows and school busses) — I was impressed by the effort to give him the care & attention he needed way above and beyond basic feeding time/instructions. I will definitely be back, and Ev was a happy tired boy at the end of the day too!”
“Thank you for making Bolo's first time at a sitter a smooth sailing one!. I appreciate your care and kindness so much!. I would definitely take him back again when the time comes. Happy Thanksgiving, Valerie!!”
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.
“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”
“Howser thoroughly enjoyed his time with Angie and her pups! It's so comforting to know he gets to be with a true dog lover when I need to be away from him.”
“We had an outstanding experience with Erika. She really went the extra mile in being prepared, communicating well with us and giving Ruby a lot of exercise, as well as companionship with her dog. Highly recommended.”

Ava was wonderful with Moon! This was daycare in her home, and I really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was. She made sure Moon felt comfortable right away and really catered to his love of fetch, which meant a lot to me. I also loved that he received so much love and attention from her roommates, it felt like he had a whole little community caring for him. You can tell Ava genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she cares for, and she kept me at ease throughout the day. I’d absolutely trust her with Moon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Count yourself lucky to have your pup spend the day with Cassie and her dog Digby! Her home is uncluttered, clean and thoughtfully organized which was particularly helpful for a food motivated and curious dog like mine. She has a well enclosed outdoor space for dogs to run around, and lives in a great neighborhood for walks. Cassie was super professional and communicative. Our dog came home pleasantly tired after a day of play. I felt really comfortable leaving my dog with her. Her dog made a great companion for mine, and they got along famously. She even helped patiently navigate a complication with my booking through Rover support. Responsible, reliable, super personable. Without reservation, I recommend Cassie as a dog sitter. She’s great.
I wasn't sure how Harley would like going to stay with a dog sitter. He had so much fun with Ann and her dog that he was thrilled the next day when we went back. She sent lots of pictures and took him on long walks. He had blast! I highly recommend Ann and so does Harley! Thank you Ann!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Springfield on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 230 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 OR 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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 230 sitters in Springfield, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
