“I was very nervous about having to leave my senior chaweeni for a few nights. Kelsie was so wonderful and eased my anxiety. She took very good care of Koda, sent me pictures and updates on how he was doing. I will definitely call on her again in the future!”

“This was our first time using Kristine and she was great. She was able to help us out on short notice by adjusting her schedule. She responded quickly to our questions and communicated very well. Our normally reactive dog warmed up to her quickly thanks to her calm and secure presence. Kristine followed the details of our care request and we were very happy with the service she provided. We plan to call on her again.”

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’ve owned pets of all kinds my whole life. I’ve been trusted with taking care of my family and friends’ pets since I was twelve. One of my cats is older than me and has been with me my entire life, so I know very well how to take care of elderly and disabled animals, especially cats. I’ve also taken care of multiple very energetic dogs and I know how to handle their behavior. I’m very open to long play sessions or walks, but if a calm presence is what your pet needs, I am very good at providing that as well. I’m very adaptable. Whatever your pet needs, I am more than willing to do my best to give it. I’m a college student who is busy every afternoon but most mornings and almost every evening and night I am fully available for your pet. I’m completely free on the weekends as well. Understanding the signals pets use to communicate is one of the most important things to me. I value your pet’s safety and to me it is very important to know what they’re trying to say in times of crisis. I also am conscious of things in homes that may be harmful to pets, such as certain herbs, scents, or foods, and I go out of my way to ensure that pets do not make contact with anything that could be dangerous to them. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I want them to be met and for your animal to feel safe and comfortable with me and the environment.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have cared for them through every stage of life. I raised both of my dogs from puppies. One lived to be 18, and the other was with me for 15 years. I also raised a cat from a kitten who lived to be 16 and adopted an adult cat who stayed with me well into her senior years. Caring for my own pets from their earliest days through their senior years gave me experience with everything from puppy and kitten care, to medications, mobility changes, and noticing the little things that can make a big difference in their comfort and quality of life. Friends and family have always counted on me to care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and medical needs. I know every pet is different, and my goal is to help yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday (8-5), but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer several services throughout the week. Dog walks: My favorite service! Available most weekdays early before work, during lunch (for nearby clients), and after work. I’m also available for walks throughout most weekends. House sitting: I have the most flexibility on weekends, but I can also be available for house sitting during the week with advance notice. If you have reliable Wi-Fi and are comfortable with it, I’m able to work remotely from your home so your pet can enjoy extra company while staying in their normal routine. Drop-in visits: Available during weekday lunch breaks for nearby clients, as well as on weekends. If you’re unsure whether your schedule will work with mine, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to see if we can make it work! I believe pets are happiest in their own home, where they can keep their normal routine. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’ll care for your pet and your home with the same respect and attention I’d give my own.

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: 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: 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 Liz! I know how important it is to find pet care that’s both reliable and affordable. That’s why I offer caring, dependable pet sitting at a price that works for your family! I document everything, even the funny moments 😆. I’m not afraid of dog poop or quirky behaviors. I’ll give your furball all the love and attention they need from walks and playtime to belly rubs and snuggles. Pets bring me so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both high and low energy dogs, shy and extroverted. I love every moment. If you’re looking for trustworthy care that fits your budget, I’d be honored to help! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to provide pet care on weekends and any day after 2 PM. I can work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs and ensure their pets receive reliable, attentive care and plenty of love while they are away. My pupper is living with my parents and not with me, so if you have a furball that doesn’t like other animals. It’s all good here 😌👍. I always make sure to give animals space and to not force interaction. Regarding other homes, I follow the moto of: If they don’t even go near to smell you, do not go near them. Wait for that moment to come. 🍀

About: I grew up having dogs as pets my whole life. I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I understand their needs and how to keep them safe and happy. I’ve raised my own dogs from when they were puppies until they were about 14 years old as a senior. I’m a full-time student at the University of Oregon, but I don’t have another job, so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets! I’m available most days after a few classes and fully available on weekends for house sitting or frequent check-ins on your pups! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me at all times. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions! I always keep a clean, calm environment and give lots of attention, playtime, and affection. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with messages or photos while you’re away!

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.

About: Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! At this point I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into. Time spent caring for companions like cats and dogs, snakes and spiders, as well as on farms with cattle, goats and chickens has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been an everywhere/everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will be with me on most sitting and walking jobs. Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Springfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Springfield is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $25 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 927 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.

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.
