“Kyle has a kind, calm demeanor, which is a must for my pup with separation anxiety! Right away, Kramer was excited to see Kyle, grabbing a toy and showing his playful side. Kyle has experience with pit bulls, and dogs with medical issues, so that the fact he was unfazed by Kramer's medical challenges, really put me at ease. I look forward to working with him more, and for house sits!”
“She always arrives on time, follows all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, makes our dog Coco so happy. We trust her completely with Coco’s walks, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommended!”
“Completely happy and satisfied with the care Dana provided our 2 boys for their walk we scheduled with her. The dogs were happy and I would definitely recommend Dana to others!”
“We’re so happy to have found Matthew! He visits and walks our dog on a weekly schedule, and he’s always prompt, considerate, and very easy to coordinate with. He’s also clearly very skilled at understanding dogs, reading their queues, and adjusting to make sure they’re comfortable. Our pup definitely looks forward to his visits, and we know he’s in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Cristina has been really great with our dog Casey! She’s punctual and always takes pictures for us to see. Cristina takes Casey on walks all over our neighborhood and makes sure she gets exercise and let’s Casey sniff.”
“Excellent walk! Bella was instantly drawn to Sweta and I was very comfortable with their first walk together! Grateful for Sweta’s availability in a lay minute pinch!”
“Sarah is Godsend!! My dog Nash is absolutely obsessed and is so happy when she comes over. She is always communicative, and I appreciate her walking Nash everyday! Would recommend over and over!”
“Let me tell you about Cleo’s best friend Monique!!!! I went on a last minute trip and had to leave Cleo behind for the first time. I was SO anxious and felt super guilty about leaving her alone. Monique was very diligent about showing up, sending reports, and following my tedious instructions about leaving the TV on/moving our coffee table for our roomba lol. I felt like she actually wanted to be there and love on Cleo. Cleo loves tug of war and Monique would play with her literally every time she visited and made sure she got her treat’o’s. I’m glad I don’t have to go through the trial and error process of finding our go to dog sitter for Cleo! I’ll be contacting her very soon for their next play date.”
“Alejandra was incredibly responsive and really helped us out in a pinch, doing more than was originally asked of her. Grateful to have found her and will continue to use her services!”
“Alex has been so great with our pup, Toby! Our dog has a lot of energy and a lot of quirks and Alex was so patient with him. Alex clearly cares a lot about dogs and I know Toby is well taken care of!”
“After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕”
“Sofia is the best! Our pup loves her! She is flexible with scheduling and is super friendly! 10000/10 care provided for Knox! We have already rebooked with her and cannot recommend her enough!! 🙃🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I have personal experience owning both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided in-home pet care for both drop-ins and overnight stays. I have a car, so I’m happy to take a trip to the dog park or explore new areas for a walk! Whether it’s checking in, going for walks, or just giving some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Animals bring me so much joy, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for short walks during the day. In the morning and evenings I can take longer walks. I am committed to making sure you are stress-free when it comes to pet care, so I will update you with photos, videos, and messages every time I take care of your furry friend! I’m happy to send as many updates as will make you comfortable!
“Thanks for walking Riley and Archie, Davis! They had a great time and I was so glad I could find someone to help out with them on short notice. We will definitely reach out again 😊”
About: My experience comes from years of being around and caring for pets belonging to family and close friends. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing so I definitely understand how important it is for your fur babies to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Pets are family too and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and attention. I also have close family and friends connected to the military, so I understand how unpredictable and demanding military life can be. Long workdays and changing schedules can make having reliable pet care especially important. I want to be someone you can count on when life gets busy or plans change. Whether you’re fur baby needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply someone trustworthy to check in on them, I’m happy to help. I’m great at following instructions and paying attention to the little things that make each pet unique. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while making your time away easier and giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My main daily commitment is making sure my two kids get on and off the school bus safely and on time, which means I have flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. For walks and drop ins, I focus on making each visit fun, safe, and engaging while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable for both you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for.

After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕
Lucy was great, my dog immediately liked her and was comfortable enough to go on walks with her despite separation anxiety. Lucy is easy to communicate with and a quick responder to messages, I was able to let her know the evening before one of the walks that my dog would need a medication the next day.
Cassidy is simply amazing ! I was impressed with the map of where she walked my dogs and time of check in and checkout! She even stairf a few extra minutes ! And also left a great report about their walk .. it felt like I was right there! She truly cares about my doggies (and I am sure all other animals) and I am so happy I found her ! She is becoming a part of my dogs routine. I would highly recommend Cassidy !
McKenna is fantastic! She is truly a professional-attentive to details, asks great questions to make sure she’s caring for our pup to the highest standard, and gives our little guy so much love. The way he is always excited to see her is also a testament to the quality of care she provides! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for their pets.
Janna was AMAZING with Buddy. We were in a real pinch and needed a dog walker on super short notice. She jumped in, was able to do a meet-and-greet same day, and I felt so relieved to be able to leave my pupper with someone I could trust. I will definitely be reaching out to Janna any time I need a dog walker. She was awesome!
Angela was amazing with our doggos. She was very thorough in her reports and provided lots of pictures. We especially appreciated how patient she was with our older doggo and made sure she ate her food as she takes a while - definitely will be rebooking again and recommending to our family and friends!
Mike is an extremely professional pet sitter. I have booked him more than once and I will continue to do so. He has stayed at my dwelling and I trust he will take care of my dog very well. Mike sends regular updates with pictures that keep me up to date with my senior dog.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
