About: Hello! I'm a devoted dog lover who treats every pup like they're my own. There's nothing I enjoy more than showering dogs with affection and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important your furry family member is to you, so I'm committed to following your routines and instructions to a tee. Whether your dog thrives on structure or just needs some extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me. And because I know you'll miss them, I'm happy to send plenty of photos and updates throughout the day so you can see just how much fun they're having! As someone who loves the outdoors and exercise, I'm always ready for long walks or backyard playtime. I genuinely believe every dog deserves daily exercise and enrichment, and I have the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with even the most playful pups. I can't wait to meet your four-legged friend and give them all the care and attention they deserve! I work a flexible hybrid schedule, which makes me ideal for pet parents needing drop-in walks, home visits, or house sitting. I know that boarding facilities aren't right for every pet, so I'm happy to care for yours in the comfort of their own home. With experience handling reactive and special-needs pets, I understand when staying in a familiar environment is the best choice. While you're away, I'll keep your pet's routine consistent and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I keep my calendar updated to reflect my in-office days. I'm typically available on weekends and weekday daytime hours. If you're facing a long workday, a busy weekend, or are concerned about leaving your pet alone for extended periods, I'm happy to help with check-ins and care as needed. I work from home most of the time, which means I have wonderful flexibility to spend quality time with your pup! I'm especially available for late morning and midday visits, so your dog will never have to wait too long between potty breaks, meals, or playtime. I am usually in the office on Wednesdays but I aim to keep my calendar as updated as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I'm naturally cautious and attentive, always thinking ahead to prevent any potential issues before they happen. I've received training in dog body language, so I can usually quickly pick up on when a pup needs space, comfort, or extra playtime. My own reactive, special needs dog has been an incredible teacher. I've learned to be especially mindful during walks and around other people or dogs. I also know that dogs pick up on our energy, so I aim to stay calm and composed in every situation to help your pup feel secure and relaxed.
“Samuel walked Storm during a very cold and rainy week! He was responsive about booking and followed up on things like providing additional food in the afternoon.”
“Cassie has been very caring and communicative. She came the day before to meet our dog and ensure Roxy was comfortable with her. She gave us extra details on the walk and Roxy's well-being. Very much appreciated. Thank you.”
““Reliable, caring, and punctual!” Kimara has been walking Coco weekly and has been absolutely wonderful. She’s always on time, gives updates promptly, and genuinely cares for Coco. I can trust her completely and appreciate her consistency and professionalism. Highly recommended!”
“Thanks for helping us out with walking Riley and Archie this week! Really appreciated the time you spent with Riley too to get her comfortable with you. Will be sure to reach out in the future!”
About: Hello & welcome! Growing up, I had all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, rodents, reptiles, you name it! I have a very active dog, Rio - he’s a sweetheart & loves making new friends. I can assure you that during your pets stay, they will be cared for as my own. They are able to free roam in the house, have access to a full backyard, taken on walks, rides to the park, and all the cuddles. Hope you like updates, because I send a ton of pictures. I know what it’s like being away from your pet, so the more pictures the better! 🖤 I have experience administering medication if needed, and able to assist senior dogs. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend. I’m happy to answer any questions and/or meet before the stay. Get $20 off your first stay on Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/sidnet27669 I work from home on Mondays & Fridays. Tuesday - Thursday I am in office, but able to come home during the day as needed. Rio is very friendly and loves company! He will keep your pup entertained during their stay, and have cozy nights in. We ensure the house is always clean and have in-home cameras to keep an eye on things when away.
“Joanna is an incredible daily walker for my pup! She always leaves the most detailed notes, always follows care instructions, and even does training with him! We love Joanna and will continue to book with her!”
“Caryl went above and beyond for her walk with my dog, and she spent extra time ensuring that he was settled and had what he needed before she left our home. Highly recommend her to take care of your pups!”
About: I grew up around pets and have always loved caring for animals. While living with my grandmother, I was primarily responsible for caring for her dog due to her medical conditions. I also have experience helping family members care for their pets. I am compassionate, dependable, and passionate about providing loving and attentive care to every pet I look after. I currently work only once a month at my part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and ample availability during the day to provide attentive and reliable care for your pet. I grew up in a home with pets and have always had animals as part of my life. While I do not currently own any pets, caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. My lifelong experience with pets has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. I am a caring and dependable individual with a true passion for animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while caring for your pet.
“Tiana is amazing!!! We booked her over our vacation and she got there everyday on time and took lots of pics of Archie. So sweet and kind! Will definitely book her again soon!! Your pet is in safe hands with her”
“Tara is wonderful! She consistently goes the extra mile to care for our big dog, and he absolutely lights up when he sees her. She’s not just reliable — she’s become an important part of our daily routine, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she brings.”
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”

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.
Steve is the best. Our slightly special needs rescue needs a gentle but confident hand, and Steve is great with him. He makes sure our old boy gets his medication and food (which he can be quite uncooperative about) and he always takes him on the best walks. We’ve used Steve for boarding and drop-in visits/walks in our home. We know we can trust that he’ll take care of Riley just like we would (or maybe even better!) He’s reliable, communicative, and always sends great pictures, so you’ll always know how well things are going with your furbaby while you’re away!
I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want Tara all to ourselves! It’s very difficult to find a quality/trust worthy dog walker these days, but Tara is surely both! She is extremely detail oriented and follows instructions to a T. She sends TONS of pics and videos with a detailed report card about the visit. It’s clear my pups adore her. They usually take a little while to warm up to strangers but it was love at first site with Tara! She also left the most thoughtful card and puppy cookies. Excited to use her for more walks/visits in the future!
This was my first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier. Cassie was amazing, and I sincerely hope she is always available to walk/board my Labrador when I need her. From our first meeting I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She is trustworthy, reliable, provides timely communication and was a joy to work with. Rover is very lucky to have her on their team.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Springfield on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,557 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Springfield.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
