“Olivia is absolutely a gem! Mabel was sooo happy to see, play and walk with her everyday! Olivia was so helpful even with curbing my baby back to using her litter box again #rovermagic !!! Definitely a permanent sitter in my books!!!”
“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”
“Nathan is the exact person you wanted taking care of your pets. He would take little Nathan out for us everyday at lunch time and my dog looked forward to his daily trips with one of his best buds. He always treated Nathan kindly and I never had to worry about anything. Not only was he professional but he became a crucial part of our day to day. I’d gladly take his services any day. 10/10 walker. 1000/10 person!”
About: While I don’t currently have a dog of my own (apartment living), I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s going for walks, checking in on them, providing companionship, sticking to feeding schedules, or giving plenty of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m a cat lover as well, with one of my own, and would love to check in on yours while you’re away! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to make every walk or check in safe, fun, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home most days, which gives me the flexibility to fit dog walks or pet check ins into my day without feeling rushed. My schedule allows me to be available for morning and midday walks, making it easy to provide reliable care when your pet needs it most. I enjoy getting outside throughout the day, so spending that time walking and caring for your pet is something I genuinely look forward to. Since I’m offering dog walking services and pet check ins, my focus is on providing safe, enjoyable walks and stress free check ins. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and positive reinforcement while following any specific instructions you provide. At home, I care for my own cat, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I know that every pet is unique, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: I've grown up around dogs and have cared for them my entire life, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether you have a high energy puppy, a relaxed senior, or somewhere in between, I am confident in my ability to meet their unique needs. I am skilled in administering oral medications, comfortable with crate training and leash manners, and knowledgable in calming techniques to help ease anxious pups. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I look forward to forming a loving, trusting bond with your fur baby! My schedule is currently very open; I am free 7 days a week and will be available all day to care for your pet whether you need someone to check in, go for a walk, or board! I treat every pet like family, ensuring your fur baby is loved and cared for like my own! I have a fenced in yard and located in a great neighborhood for walks. I have 2 adult cats who are more reserved and very well acquainted with dogs of all sizes. I keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so you always feel connected and informed. This house fully supports animals on the couch as well:)
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, so I learned early how to handle their daily needs. Years of experience have helped me learn how to read different personalities. As of now I am home during the day so I am available for boardings in the morning, afternoon, and evening throughout the whole week. I provide a tranquil, stress-free space for pets in my home, carefully sticking to their specific meal times and offering plenty of monitored play. My priority is offering consistent, caring companionship so they feel just as safe and cherished as they would in their own living room.
“Robyn took such great care of my pup while I was away. I could not have asked for more! We were nervous to leave our dog, as we don’t do this often. He was in such good hands with Robyn that it put me at ease. Her pics and reports were such a highlight of my days! I would 100% recommend Robyn to anyone and we will certainly be using her services again. My Barkley just loved her and so will your dog!”
“We accidentally left the door locked, and Angela kindly waited for us to call her with the code. She even made a return trip for us once we finally were able to get the door unlocked, I would highly recommend her. She is a faithful and determined pet sitter.”

About: I have experience walking dogs for regular families, as well as pet sitting both dogs and cats for extended periods of time. I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I currently work full-time, but that doesn’t stop me from giving your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m an early riser who loves starting my mornings with a walk, so I would be more than happy to stop by before work to take care of your pet. I also often have hour-long lunch breaks, which I’m more than willing to use to check in on your pets and give them some extra love and attention. I typically finish work around 3:30–4:00 PM (and around 3:00 PM on Fridays), leaving my evenings open for additional visits or walks. On weekends, I am fully available and happy to accommodate all your pet care needs! :) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and when caring for them in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to make sure they remain stress-free and happy! I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, and I remain very attentive during walks and visits to ensure a safe environment for both me and your pet! Alongside this, I also respect your home as if it were my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I have hands-on experience training my own pets, including teaching my dog to walk off-leash and my cat to sit on command! I believe the best training comes from patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and, of course, a little fun. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while giving their owners peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I work in the early mornings but I also make my own schedule so I'm able to accommodate most requests. Afternoons and evenings are typically best. I have a large fenced in yard and two dogs of my own along with a cat. I'm able to crate any dog that needs it and have multiple floors if the animals need to be separated.
“Mike was great! I reached out to him with less than 48 hours notice, he agreed to come over for a meet and greet and provided exceptional service to AJ. He’ll be my go-to for al future dog sitting needs.”
About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Chelsea and John were great. They were very kind to our dog and asked pertinent questions. We had a trial walk in the neighborhood, so that they could see our dog's typical behavior. We felt totally at ease with John and Chelsea taking her out for afternoon exercise. We will definitely contact the two of them in the future.
Theo has been an amazing walker with my Newfoundland Tiny! He’s incredibly communicative and on time for every walk. On days when Tiny wasn’t feeling up to a long walk, Theo found ways to get him moving in the backyard and brought him back happy and ready to chill out.
Helena went above and beyond! I reached out last minute because I was stuck at work and she was able to walk my dog. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and familiar with her before they went for a walk. She also refilled his water bowl! My dog is very timid and shy with new people but he warmed to Helena with just a few treats.
Karen was fantastic! She was always punctual, dependable, and so patient with my anxious senior dog. She took the time to earn his trust and never rushed him, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care and appreciated the updates along the way. I would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker.
Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!
Kristina did a wonderful job caring for Milo. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly very caring with animals. I felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands, and I could tell my dog enjoyed the walks and time with her. She was professional, communicative, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
Barbara is an excellent dog walker and we will go back to her time and time again. She works very well with our shy border collie and took the time to get to know him (3 visits!) before our first actual paid visit. She is very punctual and communicative which we really appreciate.
Nathan is the exact person you wanted taking care of your pets. He would take little Nathan out for us everyday at lunch time and my dog looked forward to his daily trips with one of his best buds. He always treated Nathan kindly and I never had to worry about anything. Not only was he professional but he became a crucial part of our day to day. I’d gladly take his services any day. 10/10 walker. 1000/10 person!

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.

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 walker.
