“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!”
“Mia was wonderful with our cat and very responsive and always sent a bunch of pictures to us!! It was so sweet she even found out our cats little quirks such as his favorite thing of having a human scratch his scratching post with him haha. She also provided him with his oral steroids throughout. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
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.

“Teresa provided absolutely wonderful care for our two cats! She gave our girl lots of pets and playtime and found our scaredy boy under beds so we knew he was ok. Water, food and boxes were perfect. She even cleaned up kitty litter tracked outside of the boxes. Excited to use Teresa’s services again in the future! Thank you so much for everything. We truly appreciate it.”
“Hayden did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! I have never had someone come and take care of my cats before so I was definitely nervous about how it would go, but she was able to get my very shy cats to warm up to her really quickly! She followed my directions perfectly and there was great communication the entire time. I would absolutely have her come and help out again!”
“Sonia is fantastic! She’s very professional and always on time. She takes such wonderful care of our dog (he’s always so excited to see her!) and she sends daily updates and pictures, which we absolutely love! We will definitely rebook with Sonia for future needs!”
“Monique is a genuine & reliable care giver. We always receive check ins when she watches our senior kitty. She extended her service when we had a last minute hold up getting home. We appreciate you Monique!”
“Julia is amazing! I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog and cats. She sent me updates and pictures on every visit and I definitely appreciated that. She is the best and I strongly recommend her! ❤️”
“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”
“So so so glad that we can rely on Kristine over and over again to care for our pets whenever we ask. No one makes it so easy and stress free as Kristine. Thanks for always being so great to my family and for all the times you’ve gone above and beyond for us!”
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.
About: I am definitely the person that gravitates towards the fur babies at social gatherings. I experience with my own dogs and cats, AND petsit for friends. I have two dogs and a cat currently. I'm happy to host your dog as long as they're non-aggressive and non marking around other animals. I'm currently working part-time, but have a lot of availability for watching your pets. I will be at work Tuesday from 9-1 and Wednesday evenings. I love hosting friends and family, and your pets are the same! I make sure they understand their surroundings and have the basic needs met, water, food, bathrooms, AND fun.

Siobhan did a great job looking after our shy kitties while we were away. She was professional and friendly, prompt to reply to our request, and everything looked great when we returned. We recommend Siobhan as a cat sitter, and would be happy to have her take care of the cats again.
Julia took such good care of our cats. She was available for a fairly last minute need which we couldn’t have been more grateful for. We’d definitely have her come back!! She gave us great check ins, was very responsive, and sent us such cute photos of our cats while we were away. Highly recommend her.
Anabelle took a good care of Bear (male cat) over the last two weeks through her daily visits. She made sure Bear got everything he needed. I loved getting Ana's daily updates and photos of Bear—it really gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Ana. I appreciate you.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 917 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 pet, 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.
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.
