“Haley is so great to work with! We have used her to let our dog out a few times and will continue to use her for drop ins/boarding. Very comfortable with her, and never worried about our fur child when he’s with her. Highly suggest!”
“Thanks Nikki & William for taking such great care of my Gracey cat! Nikki & William are reliable and were willing to do what I requested. They also provide love while I’m away.”
“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.”
“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.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My golden retriever, Scout, has taught me firsthand that every dog deserves patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. Whether your pup is energetic and adventure-loving or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, play sessions, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to be separated from your furry family member, which is why I’m always happy to provide regular updates, photos, videos, and messages so you can have peace of mind throughout the day. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for. I genuinely love dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care that makes your experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will be treated like part of the family while in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I also share my home with Scout, my friendly golden retriever, who loves making new friends and gets along wonderfully with people, dogs, cats, and other animals. I have experience caring for pets with a variety of needs, including separation anxiety, senior care, medication administration, and injectable medications. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, cozy, and stress-free environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether your furry friend needs extra attention, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, you can trust that they will be in caring and capable hands.
“Lee's Marie did an absolutely amazing job for us... The Daily Pictures & reports were wonderful. It's great to know Benji & Lela are in good hands while we are away... A+++++ Service”
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.

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.

“Rachael is very happy and works hard. She listens to the information she’s given at meet and greets. She doesn’t need her hand held; she just loves on your pets and does what’s asked of her. Will definitely use again! This time was for a drop in to let out and love on my Daisy a bit.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Denver was awesome with Regina(the pupper). He gave thorough updates, made sure she got outside, and spent time playing with her instead of just stopping in and leaving. He was also very responsive when I had questions. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for. I’d absolutely use him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 3,622 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
