“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Clear communication, quick responses, and my dog seemed to have a blast! Will definitely be coming back. My flight got delayed by a day and David was able to accommodate the change. Really appreciate it. David is also super close to Philly airport, very convenient for anyone traveling and looking for a sitter near the airport.”
“Carly was awesome had place to go out of town and other sitter canceled at last minute and Carly was able to watch my pup she was very good with her highly recommended five stars sent update pictures my phone had a lot of fun there no issues”
“Amazing! Erin was exactly the perfect person for watching our Bella. Just like a fish to the water, Bella was made comfortable and loved. I can’t say enough about how happy we are and looking forward to the next chance to spend time at Erin’s lovely home for our sweet fur baby.”
“Chrissy is a wonderful Rover Sitter, I highly recommend her services. She and her daughter Stephanie cared for my dog Lula as they would their own dog, Lula loved them and felt right at home. Chrissy sent regular updates , photos and videos which were much appreciated. Lula will be returning for her second visit next month!”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”
About: I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. I’m caring, dependable, patient, and enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and personalities and will always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am a teacher and I live a one minute walk from my school. I come home every day for lunch to let out dogs I am watching! After school I am home all night with the dog I am watching! I provide dog boarding in my home and treat every dog like part of the family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding and sleeping routines so they feel comfortable and at home. I also love sending photos and updates to their owners so they know their pup is happy, safe, and being well cared for!
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“2nd time with Bobby and it was just as great as the first! This is the first time we’ve been comfortable to use the same sitter more than once and will def be going back next time! Thanks again!!”
“Su and her family did an amazing job taking care of Milo for our trip! I got daily updates and he looked like he was having a blast. I really appreciated how flexible they were with meet up times too. We’ll definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch him!”
“Olivia was so great with Babaganoush! She was very patient about all his quirks and neediness, and her frequent updates and photos made us feel at ease. So grateful he had a loving place to stay. Thank you Olivia!”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of dogs. While other kids watched Saturday morning cartoons, I watched shows about dog training and dog breeds. I grew up around dogs of all types and have always loved having one by my side. Our family recently lost our dog, and while I’m not ready to commit to dog ownership full time, I miss having one around and want to help other families. I have experience walking different types of dogs that have varying levels of leash skills, managing special dietary and medication needs and can adapt to their activity requirements. If you have a dog that’s used to being part of an active family, or at least around one, I could be a great fit for you. I shared availability that accommodates long weekend boarding needs. This is when I consistently work from home or am off so that I can be around and give your dog the best care. You can expect regular breaks and walks for your dog on my work from home days. On the weekends, I will include your dog in my family activities. While busy, I am at our home base a lot, and much of the activity involves walking the borough, going on mini adventures in nearby parks, or hanging at our house with friends. Including a furry guest into my family-centered lifestyle is easy (and fun!) for me to do. I have a fenced in yard, live in an extremely walkable neighborhood, and have a gated off mudroom when your dog needs a little more space or down time. My kids understand animal boundaries well for their age and are used to respecting their space. While they will not be responsible for your dog’s care, they will be around. My cat is suspicious, but typically tolerant of dogs once he gets used to them.
“Exactly what we were hoping for our two dogs. Rebecca was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures of them. The dogs looked like they had a blast during their stay and we would definitely have Rebecca watch our dogs again and recommend her to others.”
“Amy was great with our pretty anxious dog who stayed at her home overnight. We got several cute photos and felt really comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. Would definitely use Amy’s services again!”
About: I grew up with a male Shih Tzu that I took care of for most of my life! I enjoyed playing with him and taking him on walks. I've also helped my sister raise her female Shih Tzu. I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I have a light class load this semester and a good amount of free time. If your pet requires a specific schedule please let me know ahead of time. I love interacting with dogs and spending time with them. I am very active and have a lot of free time, so playing with them will be no problem for me. I live near Clark Park and the Schuylkill River so I can take active dogs on long walks.
“Amazing! After our regular sitter got sick (kidney infection) Robbi and Shelby stepped in to take amazing care of Prancer. I was emotional but Robbi was reassuring and fantastic. Plan on using them as my go to sitter!”
“Jackie was just wonderful with our four year old Toller. She was responsive, flexible, and very good with dogs. Upon first meeting, our Toller clearly felt comfortable with Jackie. We used her services for boarding, but would highly recommend her for walks or house sitting as well. Our children loved getting pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would use again!”
“Rupert had such a great time he didn’t really want to leave when I went to pick him up! Great communication throughout and lots of pics, clearly he had a blast!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Springfield is $55

Ok so I was nervous leaving my pups with someone new. Dana eased those fears quickly! She took such great care of my girls and she sent me pics and updates my whole time away! My Covid pup even met herself a little boyfriend 🤣. I highly recommend Dana as she treated my girls as her own and she will truly give you peace of mind. She will definitely be seeing my pups again!
We had an amazing experience booking with Juliana! Juliana opened her home and welcomed our Simon for one week. Automatically, there was a sense of kindness and warmth upon leaving Simon with her as we left for vacation. Juliana messaged us daily sharing with us Simon's day, along with pictures of him as well. This act of kindness and thoughtfulness touched our hearts for we missed him immensely! Knowing that Simon was safe , cared for with warmth and attention , allowed us to enjoy our time away from him without worry. We highly recommend Juliana for anyone that needs care for their beloved pets. 10/10 stars!!
Christine was a great caretaker for our deaf 11 year old hound mix over a long weekend. Christine helped Georgia settle in to unfamiliar surroundings. She is warm and comforting and clearly has lots of experience with and loves dogs. We will use her again without hesitation.
Shelby and Robbie were a great place to leave our two dogs for an extended time. One has some serious anxiety towards other dogs and they handled the situation and came up with a plan for her. They let us know how they were doing and we are thankful for them! Would use them again!
We have greatly benefited from having Jennifer S. provide Boarding services for our two Australian Labradoodles. She delivered outstanding care for our furry children, including regular walks and playing fetch with a ball, as she is extremely thorough and meticulous in meeting all of their needs. All of the members of her family create a warm and loving environment in which our pets are always relaxed and thriving. We loved receiving daily photos of our pooches looking happy, resting peacefully, and enjoying time outdoors. Accordingly, we highly and unreservedly recommend Jennifer S. for all your Boarding and Doggy Day Care needs.
Scott was wonderful and my dog had the best time with him and his posse of dogs! The other dogs he was watching at the time were very friendly and Scott did a great job introducing them and making sure they were comfortable together. He sent lots of pics during the stay and I know my dog had unbelievable attention, exercise and love! We can’t wait to go away again so we can send Hoagie to his new favorite place!
I had no doubt upon our first meeting that Dakota would have a very comfortable loving stay with Chrissy. She sent a ton of pictures and videos along the way, which was super nice to get while traveling so far away! I can’t wait for Chrissy and Dakota to hang out again! No
First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !
Saya and David are absolutely incredible pet sitters! They sent us plenty of updates about Cricket’s stay. They also were so wonderfully kind to her; snuggling her, playing fetch, basically treating her like she was their own family member. I’ve never felt so safe leaving my pup before!

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Springfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Springfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Springfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
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 PA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
