“Vincent was fantastic, as always! Our baby, Charlie, loves going to Uncle Vincent, especially since he spoils her with homemade meatballs and chicken treats! Would definitely recommend Vincent to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”
“Carlos was amazing! I was nervous to leave Coco with a sitter but Carlos was kind, patient and an obvious dog lover. He kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and stories of what she was doing. I absolutely plan on using him for future trips!”
“David and his family are amazing! He is very diligent in sending pictures and updates. Otis loves going over there. They give him lots of love, cuddles, treats, walks, and exercise. Otis is excited every time we pull up to the house and I know he is well taken care of when he is there.”
“Aisha was wonderful and kind to our dog. He just moved back to USA and has been very nervous. She watched him for about six hours and he seemed very relaxed when we picked him up. Thank you so much!!”
“Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!”
“Khristie was excellent with my dog Goose who is somewhat needy and shy. He was immediately comfortable around her and she took great care of him. He had a ton of quality cuddle and play time. Can’t thank you enough!”
“Gail, I can't thank you enough for the great and loving care you gave our Nala. This was a long stay and she isn't used to being with anyone besides the family. Getting the photos and videos every day and seeing that she was happy and felt like home with you, made us feel at ease and relaxed. It made our overseas vacation more enjoyable, knowing that she was in such good hands. Nala would definitely want to stay with Gail again.”
“This was my puppy’s first time away from home and he could not have been in better hands! Mary gave us regular updates and tons of pictures and Obi had an absolute blast. She was so patient and understanding with all of his puppy quirks and high energy level. We were a little nervous about how he’d be in a new environment but Mary’s house is set up so well for the dogs with a huge fenced in backyard as well. I know Obi can’t wait to go back!”
“Marcela was very flexible with timing, thorough in following instructions, and took extra care to make sure my dog was comfortable and safe post-op. It was nice to be able to relax on my trip knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Our pup had an amazing time at Lauren’s! Lauren kept our active 1 year old dog plenty busy with walks, trips to the dog park and play with her own sweet doggy. She kept us updated w messages, videos and pictures throughout his stay.”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“What a great host! I highly recommend her! Our dog was incredibly anxious and she took great care of her! As a Rover sitter myself I know how hard it is to have a high maintenance dog visiting. She texted immediately when there was an issue.”
“Kay and Marc were fantastic! They took excellent care of my two dogs and treated them like family. Kay updated me every day and sent pictures. I will continue to use Marc and Kay every time I’m away. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Kay and Marc!”
“Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!”
“Rosy had a wonderful stay with Behice and her husband. Communication was very good, she sent a lot of photos and updates. Genuinely felt she was loved and cared for. Would highly recommend.”
“Tia and Mario has always been amazing with our dog Arabella. They make sure to bring her to adventures and also takes her on long walks. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our princess.”
“We don’t use rover often but when we do we try to use Danyelle. Aspen always seems happy and well cared for when she gets home! We hope to continue to use her in the future as she’s available 🥰”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Leaving a newly adopted pup with major anxiety is so stressful, but finding Liz, Will, and their family was such a blessing. I had to travel for nearly a month and a half, and they stepped right up to love and care for Kona unconditionally. They totally understood his special needs and showed him so much patience. Getting regular updates, photos, and videos was a total lifesaver and let me travel without constantly worrying. Kona wasn’t just staying there—he was treated like family. I’m so grateful for everything they did for him!
Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!

Carlos is an amazing sitter—diligent, caring, and communicative. It was so nice to receive photos of Mochi several times a day while on vacation. On top of his clear love for dogs and understanding of Mochi, he was super understanding when we had a travel snafu on the way home. We will happily leave Mochi with Carlos again and recommend his services. Thank you so much.
Rico loved spending the weekend with Gail and her pup. He actually didn’t want to leave! She was welcoming and flexible when our plans changed. She sent many pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Gail and Rico can’t wait to go play again.
My dog was absolutely obsessed with Joanna and her husband! Despite some pretty wacky weather over three days from 88° to 55°and drizzly, JJ still got good walks in! Very much appreciate. He barely greeted me from the couch when I first arrived to pick him up! I think he wanted to stay!
We had such a great experience with Carrie and Matthew! They took wonderful care of Marlin and treated him like he was their own. They kept us updated while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Marlin came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We would absolutely trust Carrie and Matthew with him again and highly recommend them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Springfield is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $72 per night. 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 7,291 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Springfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Springfield.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Springfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
