“My dog truly enjoys staying with Ann and Richard! It is very apparent that they (& their dogs) enjoy her equally. I find it to be very reassuring when away that Dandelion is being not just cared for, but loved and enjoyed!! Thank you both!”
“Jona took incredible care of our sweet Cooper while we were on vacation earlier this month. We greatly appreciated the thoroughness of her communication before and during Cooper's stay with her, and her thoughtful, calm approach. Cooper is a senior dog who requires multiple medications, and she handled this with ease. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“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!”
“Stacy and her family took wonderful care of Curie! We got plenty of updates. The level of communication assured us that she was in good hands. She was happy when we picked her up but also wasn’t too eager to leave the people that gave her all the treats and belly rubs :) Thank you so much!”
“Andrew was amazing! He took great care of my Leo and made sure to provide me with daily updates about his stay. Andrew made sure to follow directions and provided great information and photos.”
“I was really nervous because this was the first time I had someone else watch Cooper, but they made me feel comfortable right away. They let me walk around the house, answered all my questions beforehand, and even little things like having rugs on the hardwood made me feel better about him being there. She was very communicative the whole time and sent a bunch of pictures and updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she and her husband truly care and make the pets they watch feel like part of their family. Cooper seemed to settle in well and came home happy. I’d absolutely book with them again.”
“Rosario was amazing with my dog Blaze! She gave him lots of walks, playtime, and activities, and he loved making new friends with her dogs. She treated Blaze like her own and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Vincent was awesome! My husband and I went on vacation for 2 weeks in Italy and was the first time we could not take Chifli with us. Chifli has stayed with pet sitters for a night here and there but we were never to far. I was so nervous, but Vincent helped me leave with confidence that Chifli would be loved and cared for and that he was! Vincent would send us pictures or videos daily so I can continue to enjoy my vacation and know that he was enjoying his stay also with Vincent. Thank you Vincent!”
“Mila had an incredible time with David and his family, as always. There’s honestly no better compliment than seeing her come home both exhausted and a little sad—it’s the perfect sign she had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you once again for taking such amazing care of her. Looking forward to next time!”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Miguelina is our go-to dog sitter for Mochi! Even for last minute plans, she would be available for us. We receive frequent updates with pictures, and Mochi always has such a blast when she’s there. I highly recommend booking thru Miguelina for your dog sitting needs!”
“I do not have enough kind words to share about Cheryl and Gustavo. I was out of the country for 3 weeks and very anxious about who would watch my dogter while I was away. I've had some pretty negative experiences on Rover before and had a bit of anxiety about leaving her for such a long time. When I met Cheryl and Gustavo, my anxiety was immediately calmed. They are such warm, caring, and kind people. I received daily pictures of my dog playing, cuddling, walking, and looking right at home with Cheryl and Gustavo's family. She even made a good friend in their dog as well. They are the absolute best and highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs. They treated Toots like their own and I know she is going to be so excited to be with them when we rebook for her next stay. 5/5 stars - trust me when I say THIS the family you want your fur baby to be with. Thank you immensely, Cheryl and Gustavo!!”
“Gail is always great with Bubba! He has such a great time and she always sends him home with some extra treats. This time the treats are in the shape of a B for Bubba and it was so thoughtful!”
“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
“Veronica does a great job taking care of our dogs. They always come back happy, healthy, and tired. She sends photos during the stay and is communicative. I highly recommend Veronica to look after your pup!”
“Michelle is awesome and my Goldendoodle Tofu loves spending his “vacations” with her. We’ve used her three times and will always check to see if she’s available first when we need a pet sitter for family vacations. Instead of being scared to left with someone, Tofu runs to her door, excited for his stay. Michelle is also great about sending us updates and videos on Tofu.”
“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!!”

I'm so happy to have left my dog in Bethany's care! You can tell she's an animal lover and treats pets with so much care and attention. I appreciated the photo she sent me while Korben was enjoying the dog park. I'm so happy to have found Bethany and I most certainly leave Korben with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Springfield on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,230 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Springfield sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Springfield landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
