About: For my dog boarding clients: 🎟️ I host ONE dog at a time 🧳 I supply water and food bowls, poop bags and crate 📷 I’ll send you daily pictures and updates 🏡 We have a secure fenced yard 🦮 Your dog will get two walks per day 🛋️ Dogs are allowed on the couch and bed 🐱 We have a cat but she sticks to herself 👦 We have three kids ages 9, 11, and 13 and they are comfortable with dogs and love to play and give them lots of attention 😊 I’m happy to do a meet and greet! For my dog walking clients: ❌ I don’t let your dog eat trash or poop 🤗 I give before or after pet and play time 🔑 I always lock the door and bring in packages 💅 Need a special request? Just ask! I provide calm, private in-home boarding for your dog only. This is a good fit for dogs who are anxious, older, easily overstimulated, or used to a quieter home environment. I am highly responsive and will provide regular photo and video updates and communication throughout your dog’s stay or walk. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities, routines, quirks, and special needs. Whether your pup needs extra patience, medications, structure, or just a little extra love, I’m here to help.
About: I have worked with dogs for over 10 years. I have trained dogs and worked for two daycares. I know about medications and common injuries prone to popular breeds. I enjoy walking with and interacting with dogs of all sizes. I have plenty of free time to watch and walk dogs whenever needed. I am available any time during the week/weekend that would be needed. Available for emergency walks or sittings if needed. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I prioritize clear communication and plenty of photo updates. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, exercised, and showered with affection while you’re away. I provide a structured and safe environment for your animals. I understand that every pet has a unique temperament and specific needs, and I pride myself on being a calm, observant caregiver. I am comfortable administering medication, handling leash-reactive dogs, and maintaining strict feeding schedules. When your pet is with me, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities.

“Mellissa is trustworthy, dependable, prompt, communicative, and affectionate. She was patient, kind, and caring to my two dogs (one is a 5-month-old puppy who is still potty training). Melissa went above and beyond to care for my dogs. She took them for walks, replaced their pee pads, supplied new food, drink, and treats, and played with them. I enjoy reading Melissa's notes and pictures, which she shares after each visit. Melissa is an amazing pet sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Yan has taken care of Pepa (our cat) for the third time! She’s simply wonderful. We continue to appreciate the thoughtful updates, photos, and the genuine care. Yan provides us complete peace of mind knowing our cat was not only safe but happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while we were gone. Coming home to a relaxed, content cat and a spotless feeding and litter area speaks volumes to Yan’s professionalism and dedication. We highly recommend Yan to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and compassionate cat sitter.
Lauren was an absolutely amazing sitter for my two cats!! She accommodated me on short notice and was very responsive from start to finish. She made my cats feel very comfortable and even gave them extra attention when they needed it. It is very clear that she is an experienced care taker and put my mind at ease so that we could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!

Katrina was the first pet sitter we have had outside of family members. She is responsive and caring. She was very flexible with the changing needs of our three senior cats and took the time to make sure they got what they needed. She communicated with us during the booking and adapted as needed. We recommend Katrina and are planning to rebook for our next trip.
Angela has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is reliable, always punctual, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. During every visit, she kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was so reassuring to see our cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. We truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Springfield on Rover is $27.75 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 7,155 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
- 95% 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.
