About: I have been dog sitting for 10 years. Not only will they get a walk or visit but they will also receive a belly rub and play time. I am currently available everyday for the next couple weeks and then I will be available 4 days a week. Once I start work again my days vary from each week. Dog walking is a passion because I love walking and will gladly have a little companion walk beside me. I will take great care of your best friend and make sure he is well exercised. If your dog is learning commands I will uphold them and practice the tricks with him or her. Message me to find out more information and hopefully I see you soon! I have and open schedule during the week Monday through Thursday and would love to fill my time visiting you cat or dog or taking your dog on a walk. Walks are very enjoyable for me, especially with a companion. I ensure that dogs are safe on their walks. They will walk on the side furthest from the road and always remain on leash during walks. I will also make sure that their immediate environment is free from choking hazards.
About: We’ve always had pets since I was little. I love animals and can’t wait to welcome your pet to our home for visiting and a fun little day trip or staycation. My children love helping with our furry friends getting exercise too. We’ll be sure they get some R & R too! Feel free to reach out and we’ll discuss needs personally as each pet is different. Typically I’m able to accommodate any needs for you and your pet. Feel free to reach out and we’ll discuss needs personally as each pet is different.

“Jenny visited my inside dog and cat over a long weekend and I couldn’t be more pleased. She handled my shy little old man with care, and gave the cat all the lovins. Jenny is sharp, responsible, and obviously loves animals. I’ll definitely call on her again, knowing I can have peace of mind about my critters when I’m traveling.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabby — your pet’s new favorite human. I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for 11+ years. Most of my experience is with dogs and cats of all ages, from tiny 2mo puppies to sweet seniors who need a gentler pace. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with the world’s best white Westy‑Maltese mix named Benji, who loved yard time, pup cups, and long naps. In high school, I also raised four chickens — Peep, Squirt, Hector, and Spooky — who had big personalities and made every day fun. I don’t currently have pets, but I hope to one day have a small farm full of furry and feathered friends. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Your pet will be treated like my own — safe, loved, and happy every moment we’re together. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or drop‑in visits, I’m here to make their day better. “Can I pet that dog?!” is basically my catchphrase, and I always seem to make new furry friends wherever I go. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat and learn more about your pet. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I’m available Monday - Friday for drop ins up to 4x a day and weekends when planned in advance. I can keep your fur babies company in the comfort of their own home with drop in visits and can take your pets on walks in their neighborhood.
About: I prefer animals over humans. Have had pets all my life. From small dogs like a chihuahua to large dogs like a boxer. Very attentive. Work from home and available on weekends. Can care for your pet all day since i work from home. I also enjoy walks and will walk your pet. Home is pet friendly and safe for all pets. Your pet will be leashed on walks. Unsafe rooms will be gated off so that they can stay in sight.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Springfield is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $23 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
