“Asia has been amazing. She is very flexible with her doggy daycare scheduling, and is awesome with animals. Carmelo, my dog, loves going there, he loves playing with her dogs and the other dogs. He loves running and playing in her large backyard, a plus for us, since we reside in a condo. Carmelo has been going for two months, I feel at ease when he's there. Asia sends me pictures and responds to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend her doggy daycare.”
“We are so thankful to Ayme for watching our dogs -- Lucky and Minnie -- at the last minute while we moved today. It is clear from the pictures that they had a blast. We plan on having them visit again just so they can have fun with Ayme's dog again! Thank you Ayme!”
“Jona did a fantastic job caring for Silly this week. Silly loved going to Jona’s house and definitely came home more well-mannered. Jona did a great job working with Silly and her needs. I highly recommend and will be bringing Silly girl back for sure!”
“Thank you Sophie for treating our girl like your own, she’s always in the best hands with you. She had the best time sniffing your gardens, playing with Love, getting sprinkler time, and all the pets - she didn’t want to leave today 😆 .”
“We dropped our dog off at Rosario and Juan’s for the day, and our dog had a great time! Rosario was excellent at keeping us updated. By the time we came to pick her up, she barely wanted to leave!”
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“Maggie May loved doggie day care with Vincent. He is such a caring sitter. He has a beautiful fenced yard where Maggie May exercised with Pearl (Vincent’s dog). She was very sweet with Maggie May as well. I would highly recommend that your pet stays with Vincent and his adorable family.”
“Ann and Rick made my dog Winnie feel right at home and took great care of her during our recent very long day first visit. I received reports and photos during the day, which I very much appreciated. Even though we had done a successful meet and great beforehand and Winnie trotted into their house with only a brief look back, they felt she was a bit nervous and adjusted her day accordingly. I look forward to future bookings.”
“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”
“My pup and I are regular clients of Miguelina’s. She and her family are wonderful! They’re always willing to care for my dog (even on super short notice!), are super flexible, and take excellent care of him. I cannot recommend her enough! She’s great!”
“Samuel was able to accommodate my last minute request. He was also understanding when I had to delay my pick up time. My dog got along well with his two dogs. I would use Samuel again!”
“First time Rover user, and Erin was fantastic! She’s very communicative, honest, and friendly. Much better experience than the kennel. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Erin!!”

“Victoria watched our very energetic dog and my 21 year old tortise! They had the best time! They came home happy and clean. I could tell she took great care of them and they had fun playing at her home! I received daily updates with pictures which made it easier to enjoy our trip and not worry about being away. Our flight home was delayed and Victoria was very understanding and accommodating. It made a stressful time a lot less stressful. I would absolutely reccomend her! Thank you Victoria!”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 40 years and have had dogs and cats throughout my life. I have never met a dog who hasn’t been my fast friend. I am skilled at making sure a dog feels safe and heard. I’m retired and caring for your dog will be my full time job. I will ensure that your dog feels safe, loved and at home. My home has a fenced-in backyard to run and play in. I recently lost my baby dog and I miss her terribly, so your dog will be my surrogate puppy. This means that he/she will get unlimited love, with a place to sleep on my bed, couch, chair, lap…
“BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Carlos provided many updates, pictures, videos, and I could tell from all of the pictures and videos that my little guy felt safe and comfortable, which has not always been the case with other sitters. I could also tell that Carlos genuinely enjoyed my dog. Walks, sunbathing, playing ball, cuddles and naps on the sofa. It really was like my dogs home away from home. I honestly feel like I won the lottery by finding Carlos to take care of my boy while I am at work during the day. My heart is so happy and my dog was so happy and content after his stay with Carlos. I could not be more appreciative. Top notch!!! Thank you so much, Carlos!”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, from dogs to wild life rescues to farm animals. I treat all animals with nothing but love and care. I do live in an apartment so your pets will get to go on long walks with me and with your permission they will get to go to the dog park right next to my house! I will always be available to talk and send you pictures at anytime. They will always be in good hands with me! I currently work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. If I need to step out of the house my partner or my daughter will be able to watch the pets. My daughter is 13 and absolutely adores animals. (Shes 13 going on 30) so no worries about her not being mature enough to watch them for half an hour or so! The dogs will be walked every 2-4 hours through out the day depending on their needs. If they are a puppy or a senior dog these hours can be adjusted on their needs. I have gates so if the dogs tend to get into things like books on a bookshelf I can mark those areas off in my home.
“My dog Eddie had a great time at Marie’s playing with her dog and running around her fenced yard. He came home and promptly crashed. I highly recommend Marie and will be using her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our 1 year old pup. I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care and got regular updates throughout the day. She was also very understanding when he had accidents in her home. I can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of him and recommend her highly!
They made Chance and Po feel so at home. Both the home and back yard (fully fenced in) are clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Anya was very welcoming of both of them, and somehow both Sarah and her husband made our incredibly shy dog feel comfortable enough to ask for pets, which absolutely never happens. 10/10
Jona was amazing with Caruso who is a very shy dog and has separation anxiety. She made him feel very comfortable within a few minutes of our arrival and he responded to her quickly. He usually backs away from strangers and hides behind me but she was able to establish a rapport with him quickly by sitting on the floor and talking to him until he became comfortable enough to let her pet him.
BEST DOGSITTER EVER! Carlos is truly one-of-a-kind. I could not ask for a better human to care for my dog. My dog is a rescue that did not have good experiences with humans for the first 2 years of his life so naturally he is cautious of humans, but every time he sees Carlos, his tail starts wagging and he does the full-body wiggles. It makes my heart so happy and gives me peace of mind. It is obvious that Carlos truly loves dogs and cares for them like his own. He is also highly responsive, provides regular updates and amazing pictures. I cannot say enough good things about Carlos. He is the ONLY dogsitter I reach out to now. Carlos has earned my highest recommendation.
Erin is the best sitter for my Obi for daycare, overnight and long stays. He loves Erin and his bestie, Harrow, and enjoys when his other friend Chopper is there for daycare. We moved 45 minutes away, but when your fur baby is happy and safe, you can focus on other things. Anyone who has felt anxious about leaving there fur baby can understand. It’s a diamond in the rough when you do find it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Springfield on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Springfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,047 sitters in Springfield, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
