“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.”
About: In addition to being an approved foster home for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and one very cute hamster throughout my 48 years. After both of my senior rescue pups passed away from old age during Covid, I've really missed having a furry companion running around. I'm not quite ready to have my own pet full-time again but enjoy caring for others' furry friends between foster pups. Open to full day, evenings, or weekends. Seniors have a special place in my heart and are always welcome. I am very experienced with those that have special needs or medicines. I do ask that all pets are kid friendly as I have a 10 year old "trainer" that comes with me and really enjoys reading to the pups at bedtime. Though my son will keep his distance from dogs that are skittish, we want a safe and calm place for both the pet and child to stay when they're in our home. For stays in our home, especially those last minute needs, we have beds, crates, bowls, toys, and even various types of emergency food just in case. We're who you need in a pinch or if your flight is delayed on the way home. Boarding in our home always comes with multiple walks a day and often a fun adventure and patio time! Working from home makes flexible pick up and drop off scheduling a breeze for pups staying with me! I look forward to making your pet part of our family while you're away. Be sure to let me know if they'd enjoy the park and long walks or prefer a more laid back stay with extra cuddles or space to decompress and we'll adjust. We sit for many families in our neighborhood and several prior dogs have walked with us to and from school (Hi Georgie!)... while others have napped most of the day away. (Hi Duke, Lana, and Mimi, I'm looking at you!) Need me to pick up to make it easier to head out of town? Or deliver once you're home? I gotcha! I have a small fenced in yard and lots of open green space out back to keep your pup busy! Does your pet prefer a walk around the neighborhood? We'll show them around around and where the best town "gossip" is located. Our "fur-iends" who visit love to check their "pee-mails" and we know all the great spots. Have a well behaved pooch? Your pet will always have free range of my home, if they're most comfortable contained near their humans I can close off doors and block off stairs! We even have extra floor coverings for those a little older that appreciate extra traction when walking. Does the pup like crates better at night, just let me know and I'll follow your routine! We have a couple med/lg sized ones here I keep on hand, in case they're needed. I usually keep the doors off so they can use it as a safe place whenever they'd like unless mom or dad prefers otherwise! Safety is incredibly important to us so all animals will stay leashed outside and I have a 2 pet limit set on Rover so things stay calm and we have plenty of scratchies & snuggle time with the dogs who like to hang out with humans. Have a senior pup who wants to hide somewhere quiet? There's plenty of great hiding spots and we'll tote a bed over to their new favorite spot to keep them comfy.
“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.”
“Hyunbang and Love are the best!! Dora who is usually shy 🙈 got comfortable quickly and Dora did not seem ready to leave when I came to pick her up. I got SO many photos throughout the day and I know Dora can’t wait to go back. Thank you again!!”
“Russ and his family took excellent care of our girl! They have a lovely yard and some adorable and playful bassets - a dogs paradise! They sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pup throughout the day. We picked up a very happy girl! Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Indigo had a great stay with Victoria. She was very welcoming and helped our shy dog adjust and feel at home. Her very friendly dog was also a great friend to our pup, which I know helped too. Victoria was accommodating to our schedule, kept us informed, and took great care of our dog. We'll definitely be back and I'm sure our Indigo will be excited to see her again!”
“mina LOVED her stay with kara and devin. they also assisted with potty training her and it was a big help. it’s very hard finding someone you can trust but they did not disappoint and were serious when they said they would treat ur dog like family. mina had a wonderful experience being with them and they kept up with updates of her. i would recommend them!”
“Reliable, friendly and flexible, Tehani is the consummate professional. Henry is genuinely excited when he sees her and comes home happy. Highly recommended”
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”
“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!”
“I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.”
“Helena & Nathan watched my boy, Jackson, while I attended my nephew's high school graduation ceremony. Originally scheduled for the evening, stormy weather precipitated a change in time and location and the ceremony was rescheduled for much earlier in the day. Luckily, Helena & Nathan were incredibly flexible in allowing me to drop off Jackson much earlier than I expected. Jackson absolutely loved their fenced backyard - and Helena & Nathan captured multiple photos and even a little video of Jackson enjoying the outdoors. He really seemed to enjoy his time with them both. I will look forward to working with them again!”
“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.”
“Jordyn was great - very flexible with timing which was a huge help since we were on the road and weren't sure exactly when we would get there. Zeke had a really great time with her - sad for him since it was only for one night! We will definitely be contacting Jordyn again in the future when we come to the area again!”

My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in creating a loving and stress-free environment where every dog receives personalized attention, exercise, and care as if they were my own. My goal has always been to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands.

I also have full availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays for boarding, overnight care, walks, and personalized attention. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care while ensuring pet owners have peace of mind during their time away. I have a friendly and playful toy poodle who enjoys being around and interacting with other animals, helping create a welcoming and comfortable environment for pets in my care. For larger dogs, my apartment complex features a spacious dog park where they can safely exercise, play, and burn off energy. I provide attentive care that includes daily walks, scheduled feedings, playtime, and baths if needed. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for like family.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and I’ve had my own dog, Koa, since she was a puppy. Raising and training Koa has given me hands-on experience with puppy care, basic training, routines, socialization, and understanding a dog’s individual personality and needs. I’m excited to welcome new pups into my home and give them the same patience, attention, and care I give my own dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines and take the time to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and lots of love! I’m available for boarding on weekends and select weekdays, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. I’m also comfortable providing regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, some training and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who are used to being around other dogs. I provide a clean, comfortable, and supervised home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walking, and medication routines, and I can provide a crate or separate space when needed.
About: I have currently have 2 dogs which I adore so much! I love playing with dogs and love spending time with then and other dogs in my neighborhood on my free time. I will ensure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own. I currently work from home full time along with my fiancé. I wake up early to walk my dogs in the Morning before all my work calls and will take them out again usually at noon after my last call. I also have a third person (my mom who’s retired) that is free all day that watches the dogs when I’m in my office. The dogs usually are free to roam around the house and there’s usually a person on all 3 floors. I have a fenced back yard that the dogs can play if they like. I also have a large crate in my basement as well. There are at least 2 people at home most of the day that will watch the dogs play. I am very attentive when I dog watch and will play with the dogs and/or walk them on my free time.
“Another amazing visit with Carlos! My dog was soooo excited to see Carlos again which says A LOT because he is not like that with all humans. Definitely gives me peace of mind that my little guy feels so safe and happy. The quality of care Carlos provides is above and beyond any dogsitter I have ever encountered. I highly recommend Carlos.”

I needed a last-minute sitter for my two fur babies, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was great at communicating, kept me updated, and took care of my girls like they were her own. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. I would definitely recommend her and will happily use her again!
Our dog Indigo had a great stay with Victoria. She was very welcoming and helped our shy dog adjust and feel at home. Her very friendly dog was also a great friend to our pup, which I know helped too. Victoria was accommodating to our schedule, kept us informed, and took great care of our dog. We'll definitely be back and I'm sure our Indigo will be excited to see her again!
Marley had such a great time with Hyunbang and Love! I'm nervous every time I leave her since Marley is an anxious girl, but Hyunbang's calming presence and regular communication put me completely at ease. I loved the constant updates and adorable photos throughout the day. My girl clearly had a blast! We have boarding booked with her in a few weeks, and I am relieved to know Marley will be in such good hands.
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
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Springfield on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 4,998 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 4,998 sitters in Springfield, 86% 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.
