“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.”
“Patricia took very good care of our older cat while we were away for a week. She was great at communicating and sent us an update and pictures after each visit. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 6 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I currently care for pets of my own and have also volunteered with animals through community service. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and following specific care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I do every day. I work part-time on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but I am available before and after work on those days. I have more flexibility on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-in visits, and extended pet care. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide a calm, loving environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I also can provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Cassie took great care of my senior cat during a family trip, keeping me posted on her food intake and litter habits, giving her lots of attention and affection, and sending daily pictures. I’ll definitely book with her on future trips.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs ever since I was 12. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to watch over their little ones and make sure they have the time of their life’s! I’m currently a stay at home mom that loves to take my little one on walks. I’d love to take your puppers along with us! I have a two year old labradoodle, and a one year old toddler that will keep your puppers tail waggin all day! Rather it be playing fetch, going on walks, or cuddles on the couch, your pup will be well loved and well taken care of!
“Robyn was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and kind while taking care of our two cats while we were away. With one senior cat, and one much younger escape artist cat, I was worried about leaving them while my husband and I were traveling, but Robyn put my mind at ease with regular pictures, videos, and updates. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. At a very young age I fell in awe with my four legged friends! I have cared for my own dogs from puppies till their senior years of life, with care and compassion. I have three amazing dogs currently one is young (Shasta) and the two are my seniors (Phelan and Joey). I have rescued most of my pets, and I have had the ability to train and rehabilitate some. Every single one of them have always had the utmost care, love and respect individually, no matter the breed. I am currently working as a mobile notary and set my own schedule, which allows me the flexibility and time needed to meet the needs of pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to trust someone other than yourself to meet the needs and care of your fur babies. I will follow your directions and guidance to always make sure that I am meeting the specific requirements of care and need for each one of your pets individually. Communication is key!
“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!”
About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesn’t get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
“Kayla is great. We had a last minute change in our schedule and she was able to pop in to play with the puppies taking a lot of stress off us for the day. She is so good with our babies!!”
“Amazing as always! We have used Amber multiple times to watch our critters. She’s very loving and caring. Always makes sure to communicate with us about any concern. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin has been so wonderful to have as a help with drop-in visits for our young puppy. She is quickly responsive, thorough and responsible. We would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Chloe walked my dog for me and was great so I came back to her when I was out of town with my animals just to water my plants 😂 and she did! I asked her and she did it the next day. So helpful and flexible and nice!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I have one puppy and she is working on becoming service dog who will love more friends to play with I work part time as a delivery driver. I will have plenty of time to walk and spend time with your babies including taking them to the park and baths. I will watch your babies in my house which I prefer because I have two small child. One who needs to have a schedule and does not do well with random people.
About: Hi! My name is Isabella Lee, and I LOVE animals! I grew up always having pets of my own, from dogs and cats to bunnies, birds, Guinea pigs, and turtles. Then I started pet sitting/dog walking for others when I was 10 years old. I also grew up on various family farms, and spent every moment I could outside with the animals, riding horses, feeding pigs, and chasing/being chased by goats and cows. I have extensive experience with many different types, sizes and ages of both dogs and cats. Whether you need someone to go for walks around the neighborhood, visit the dog park, or just play around the house, I really love whatever furry friend I'm with! I really try to make your pets my first priority! I make an effort to follow whatever schedule the pets are normally used too. I do have a second business of my own, but it’s all remote from my computer and the hours are 100% dictated by me, which leaves me flexible and available most of the time! I try to comply with whatever the pet parents request/require. I don’t do boarding so whatever the house rules are at your home, those are the ones I follow.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Springfield is $20
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 of Pet Sitting in Springfield is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $39 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,646 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
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.
