“Janna is absolutely amazing and my Leo loved her right away. I especially appreciated that she set up an initial “meet and greet” with me to make sure everything would go smoothly.”
About: I used to work at Felix and Oscar so if you need any food recommendations, i’m your girl! I also have walked dogs for about 2 years as well as overnight care and drop ins. I just graduated from James Madison University and I am working a part time job so I am available to work mornings and afternoons as well! I have a 1 year old puppy and I take care of him as well as train him. We play, I give treats, and many walks! I also had a puppy throughout all my childhood and he lived to be 16 years old, so i have experience with senior dogs.
About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover since birth!! Caring for pets had always been a great passion of mine and I genuinely enjoy it. I have cared for several pets and have also volunteered an animal shelter for 2 years! Looking forward to caring for your beloved pet :) I’m currently on vacation so I have all the time in the world to spend time with your pets! I work on ships but am home for months at time. I am very bubbly and will give your pet the best playtime. I can do walks, bathing, taking adventures or just some relaxation in the home. You name it and I will work with you :)
“Angela was amazing with Tofu. She spent plenty of time playing with Tofu and petting her. Normally, Tofu has a lot of anxiety meeting new people but she took right to Angela. Communication was clear and Angela arrived promptly at the scheduled time. Would 100% recommend her.”
“Elena was wonderful and took good care of my two boys. I got routine check-ins from her each time she came by and spent good quality time with them. She saved my skin before I was due to be on holiday for 2 weeks in Europe. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again to stay with my dogs.”
“Will definitely continue to use Cassidy to care for our cat when we travel! She took excellent care of our cat and communicated with us about everything! We couldn't be happier!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, taking care of both and learning about different temperaments and how to love them the best. I'm more of a cat girl, but I love dogs and I love the playful ones!. I also have a year of experience working at an animal shelter. Walking dogs, feeding and watering them, taking them out to go potty, picking up after them, playing with them outside as well as in their rooms, making and giving them frozen treats. I also worked with the shelter's cats, feeding and watering them, cleaning their litter boxes, bathing them, playing with them, giving treats. I also gave both dogs and cats various medications, whether that be hiding pills in food or applying gels and creams. I am currently self-employed as a nail artist, so I have all the time in the world to devote to your fur babies! I don't have any specific days I need off, I have full availability! Since I have experience in an animal shelter, I can safely walk your dogs and take them out in your yard to play or go potty! I like to say I'm pretty good at being able to gain a pet's trust, treats go a long way in making friends😅😅
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is that I have first hand experience with many types of dogs and cats. I’ve worked at a couple of daycares and I have my own animals that I care for deeply. I understand how a pet can be your child and I promise to care for them as I would my own. I’m very responsible, reliable, and I am very fast with responses. Please consider me when you want your pet properly cared for🫶 I currently stay at home for work and I am an artist! I care for my cats daily and can take on the extra responsibility of your animals too! I care for my own pets in many ways, I accommodate their needs and I also try to give them the best care possible! Accidents happen but I always keep the place clean!
“Trent is a great petsitter for our cats - reliable, punctual, and communicative. This was our first time using him, and I’m so happy I found someone that I can trust to use again in the future. Highly recommend him!”
About: Ever since my family got our first dog I have fallen in love with taking care of animals. I have taken care of my pet, friends and family’s pets, and recently even worked at a doggy daycare and hotel! I am looking to be independent with my business and have a better schedule so that I can focus on my vet school. I have taken care of animals without teeth, with pills, with funky weird behaviors, with asthma, etc. I am still working and going to school, but I am hoping to make the transition into Rover. Unfortunately my work schedule is inconsistent and doesn’t communicate in advance, but I will always try my best. Just reach out if unsure and I can set something up with you! I am so used to making sure that everything is as safe as possible. I am trained in dog scuffles, behaviors, and work a job where I am constantly cleaning up and making sure everyone is safe and clean. I am on my phone alot and take TONS of photos, so I will always be able to tell a story and send a photo of your baby(s).
About: All my life I’ve been surrounded by pets. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and snakes. I started caring for pets professional in 2023 alongside my brother when he opened his own grooming company. I enjoy caring and playing with dogs and cats. I’m able to keep up with whatever level of energy the little furry friend brings. Currently I am self employed- I have a flexible schedule Monday-Friday 9am-8pm. Ideally I would feel most comfortable caring for your pet for 2-4 hours. I have a dog park and grooming care room within my complex to take care of furry friends. The grooming area and park has plenty of toys and beds to provide a welcoming environment for you pet.
About: Hi! My name is Nataly and I’m a huge animal lover with experience caring for many different types of pets. I currently own a Holland Lop bunny who is very spoiled and well cared for, and I bring that same level of love and attention to every animal I watch. I’ve grown up around different pets including fish, hamsters, and lizards, and I have experience helping friends care for their cats and dogs. I also regularly spend time playing with and walking my boyfriend’s dog, so I’m comfortable with dogs that have big personalities and lots of energy. I’m very patient, attentive, and playful, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals — whether that means going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I also love celebrating pets (yes, even birthdays!) because I believe they deserve just as much love as family. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and weekends. I attend college Monday and Wednesday mornings (9am–12pm) and work at a family business until about 4pm, but I am available after that. I am fully available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On weekends I am available during the day, with some evening commitments due to church. I always try to be flexible and work with pet owners’ schedules when possible. I am a college student attending NOVA and currently live with my parents. I have a 2-year-old Holland Lop bunny who I care for deeply. For the safety and comfort of both my pet and yours, I do not offer boarding in my home. I take safety and trust very seriously and always follow owner instructions carefully. I am very respectful of pets’ personalities and boundaries. With shy or nervous pets, I am patient and give them space until they feel comfortable approaching me. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was young. I have volunteered at Pet Rescue centers and I have dog walked and was a sitter for many people in my community. I want to become more active and dog walking will help. I love to play fetch, walk dogs and if they are down to cuddle we can do that too! I’m a huge Dog Lover and I will do my best to give your dog a fun and enjoyable time. I am pretty flexible in the evenings every day and I will be available during most weekends. This is something I love to do so please feel free to contact me and I would love to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently pretty flexible with my schedule. I work part-time from home and I have a morning routine but fairly flexible schedule during the daytime. I enjoy dog walking in the safer areas within the city with plenty of space for each of the dogs to roam, explore and play.
“Michelle is so patient with our dog… and me, as a first time Rover user. Our dog has anxiety and is very active. Michelle has worked with her to build trust and comfort. She’s also great with communicating through the app.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
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!
Sarah was amazing. She played with Chesney, brushed him (and found the brush even when I couldn’t clearly remember where it was) and actually hid and observed him to figure out how he was getting through the fences inside the house. Chesney is a big guy and high energy and it didn’t faze Sarah! She kept me posted and really went the extra mile to make sure Chesney and my home were safe. I’d recommend Sarah to anyone and will definitely use her again
Cassidy has been amazing with Sienna! She has been so patient with my tiny puppy and has really helped make my transition back to work much less stressful. I always appreciate her updates and photos, and it’s clear she treats Sienna with kindness and care. Knowing someone I trust is checking on my puppy gives me so so much peace do mind! It truly does!
Krysta was communicative and extremely responsive before, during, and after planning and check ins with our big dog. She shared photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our pup was happy and relaxed with her! We lost connection while away and though we got it resolved, she even offered to come back and check things out. We really appreciated her services and resolve to make sure Meeko was taken care of.
Ella was absolutely amazing with my dog Chewbacca over the weekend! She treated my little boy with so much love, care, and respect the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Chewbacca was so happy and comfortable with her, and you can truly tell she genuinely loves animals. Communication was great, she was very kind, attentive, and went above and beyond. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Springfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Springfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
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.
