“Cassie was fabulous as always! She was able to watch our cats for nearly two weeks on short notice. She took fantastic care of them and did a great job with communication after each visit. Will definitely have her watch the cats again in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I found Yan to take care of my cat. My cat has several special needs, and Yan was incredibly patient in following all of the instructions I provided. She also kept detailed notes and let me know how everything went, which I really appreciated. I’m very grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Yan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter for their furry friends!”
“Sarah was so great with our 2 cats. She even managed to get a “head bump” from our shyest cat on her initial meet and greet! Sarah arrived on time everyday, sent us detailed information on how the visit went and sent lots of pictures. She respected our cats’ boundaries and spent a lot of time playing with them and watching cat TV together. It is so nice to find a sitter that really cares about the pets she sits. We’ll definitely rebook her the next time we are out of town. Thank you Sarah!”
“Asia took great care of my sweet babies! She provided a lot of pictures, pets, and help with their food. We appreciated her help around the house and positive attitude.”
“Ni was so loving and caring to my two cats I call the “twins”. She made sure they were fed, kitty litter was cleaned and gave them so much quality time while I was out on vacation. She was super communicative, provided photo updates and even was so sweet to take Mail that wasn’t supposed to be delivered into the home. I will definitely be using her again and am just so grateful I could be at peace knowing my babies were okay while I was away.”
“Katrina is excellent! She took such good care of my kitty that my cat missed her upon our arrival! We will absolutely use her services again in the future! Thank you Katrina!! Emma, my cat, was very lucky to get someone so caring and compassionate. We also loved the photos and in-depth daily notes!!”
“This was the first time we’ve taken a trip out of town since adopting our cat and thus the first time we had to board her. Marcela knew our cat already because she fostered her prior to our adopting her, and we were very happy to learn that she boards pets as well. We would absolutely board our cat with Marcela again. We had no problems at all, communication was great, and Marcela was flexible and understanding when a medical emergency threatened to delay our return home (thankfully a non-issue in the end, but we were very grateful that she was willing to be flexible). I highly recommend her to board your pet.”
“Alexandra was great. She provided prompt responses, we had a nice meet and greet and she provided care for our young cat for a week. We appreciate the photos and updates.”
“Ray was fantastic taking care of our two cats. They were well fed and happy- it was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Would love to rebook Ray for the future!”
“Highly recommend Kimara for your all of your pet sitting needs. She is punctual, reliable, responsible and most of all kind. She will become your pet’s new best friend.”
“Carrington is amazing with cats! My cat has CKD and requires medication and special care, and Carrington handled great. She was attentive to every detail, followed all instructions carefully, and kept me updated with photos and messages. Both of my cats loved her.I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!” ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had pets my entire life. I’m also a dog mom myself, so I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you’re away. I truly believe pets are family, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs, and I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Booking with me means you’ll also receive detailed updates and plenty of photos, so you can feel connected and have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I love using my breaks to step away from the computer, get some fresh air, and take walks with my pup. After work, you’ll usually find me going for a run or getting my steps in with my dog. I’d love to have your furry friend join me! I have a very friendly and playful 3-year-old Bernedoodle who loves making new friends! I have a spacious, pet-friendly home with a yard (not fenced), plus a great, walkable neighborhood where we love getting outside. Your pup will have plenty of space, exercise, and companionship!
“Trent as always is great. He is able to medicate our difficult cats and spends quality time with them. He definitely has good energy because even our skittish cat warms up to him over each period sitting.”
“Thanks again Hieu and Anna for being so attentive to our pup! Prior to the drop-in, our dog had a stressful experience in the morning that put her on edge for the rest of the day--Hieu and Anna were so great about making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We're so glad to keep working with her new fave aunties!”
“Bianca was an incredible pet sitter! She made my two cats comfortable by visiting them while I was away this holiday break. She did everything I asked while sending great photos every day. I highly recommend Bianca for petting-sitting needs. She was on time, professional, and kind!”
“Dana was fantastic! Reliable, friendly, professional and diligent. This was our first experience with drop-in visits for our cats. We were a little nervous as they haven't been left alone for more than a day until now. Dana was wonderful in providing updates and keeping us in the loop with how they were doing. Everything was left clean and tidy when we returned and the cats were both happy. Highly recommend Dana!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat. My cat was comfortable with her from day one - which made me feel much more secure knowing that he was in good hands while I was away on my trip.”

Could not have asked for a more smooth process. My cat, Book, was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and so needs alot more care, Yan took it all in stride and Book immediately liked her and it was such a relief to find someone competent and kind to help take care of my little furbaby! Also I loved the pictures and updates I got along the way, it did alot to help my anxiety about having to leave him to get his meds from someone new for the first time. 12/10
Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)
Patricha did a great job taking care of my cats. She took time and effort to gain their confidence and play with them. She was reliable and timely with her visits and great about following directions for feeding, etc. She went above and beyond to leave things neat and clean. She was great about communicating, and that freed me from worrying. When I came home, I found my cats relaxed and happy. Very grateful, and would hire her again (and hopefully will).
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,238 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
