“Denver is a responsible pet caregiver. He was prompt every morning and evening. He kept me up to date on Maizey’s visits. If he is not sure of something he is not afraid to message you for clarification. He took good care of my furbaby and I would definitely use him again.”
“Nikki and William are awesome! They took care of my babies and I never once had any worries. So sweet and caring! They went Above and Beyond and Ralph and Rosa loved them!”
“Lori did an amazing job taking care our kitty. It was our first time using Rover and we didn’t know what to expect. She was a true pleasure to work with. She was flexible with the feeding schedule and his medical needs. It was so nice to know that our kitty was in good hands while we were gone. All in all this was a great experience!! We and our kitty look forward to having Lori back!!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I graduated Austin Peay with a Bachelor’s in Agriculture and concentrated in Veterinary Technology. While I was in school, I worked at a boarding facility and daycare. I worked in an animal hospital for over 3 years until I had my son in November. I stay home with my son now as a full time mom. My veterinary experience allows me to administer medication, provide extraordinary care, and give lots of love! I currently am a stay at home mom to my son who was born in November! Our days are open and willing to help out families with their fur babies! I have 4 dogs of my own- 2 senior small girls, a senior lab (though she doesn’t act like it), and a middle aged silly boy! They are all friendly and welcoming to any animal in our home. I do have an unfenced yard but do have runners and will leash walk all animals in my yard. I am able to crate any animal if necessary.
“We have used Lee Marie for several years. We know she will take such good care of our lab and poodle that we never have to worry about them while we are away. She is a blessing to us and our pups.”
“Danielle did amazing! She was super sweet and asked lots of questions at the meet and greet with pups prior to the booking. She took great care of our dogs and posted pictures every time she visited them. Would highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend! Great communication ! I have a dog that is very afraid of people and she loves her ! Will come up to her and let her pet her! Animals know when to trust someone !”
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.

“Jessica has taken such good care of our pups! She has always been on time and every detail done. The pictures were great since we missed our pups so much! Will definitely use her again.”
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: I’ve taken care of horses, dogs and cats my whole life. I’d be happy to make your pets feel at home while you’re away and love them as my own! I work from home full time so your pet will get all the attention they want! I know my family has had a hard time finding good help with our dogs when we want to go on vacation so I’d like to be there for yours. We want to make sure we don’t mess up any of your training so please let me know if there’s a no furniture rule in your home. Otherwise I like to keep them as cozy and loved as possible.
“Laura and her daughter were amazing with my kitties! I could not recommend them enough. Thank you so much for loving on them and being thorough in the time card!! ❤️”
“Anita is a true blessing to our family. I felt completely comfortable from the moment we met. She came for a pre visit for introductions and instructions. We chatted for a while. My elderly Mother lives in a separate Mom Suite in our basement so it was important for me to find someone trustworthy and caring. Anita went above and beyond our cat sitting needs. She came for 4 visits to feed and scoop for my two indoor cats. She checked the mail and visited with my Mom and watered the plants. She took pictures of my cat and sent to me and we chatted on the phone. I will definitely be asking for Anita’s pet sitting services again. Many thanks.”
“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $19.98 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,704 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
