“Cara is the best dog sitter. Our Goldendoodle loved her stay so much, which I could tell by the daily pictures sent and communication from Cara. We look forward to more visits when/if we travel in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and am happy to care for your doggo. I currently have a 1 year old Golden Retriever and am well versed in both puppy and senior care. I am a full time teacher on summer break, so have availability to fit your needs over the summer. I’m a full time teacher on summer break, so have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve! I am home most of the day with occasional trips to the gym/store. I have a fenced yard and available sidewalks/trails for walks. I do have a 1 year old energetic Golden Retriever who is very friendly (maybe too friendly for some dogs) and a 2 year old Persian kitty who is skeptical of new animals
“Rosie Bea loved Joe and was excited to see him after meet and greet. She barely bothered to say goodbye to us. When we picked her up, she was still having fun but was very happy to see us as well. I look forward to setting up another date. It was a perfect first time boarding!”
“Hope was terrific! Our dog doesn’t do well in traditional kennels, left alone at night. He was calm and happy with her, and Hope was flexible enough to let us pick him up and drop off later in the middle of his stay. He had no problem returning to her house after a nearby hike, which says it all.”
“Wonderful couple. My dog, Willow, had such a great time with them and their fur baby, Emily, I don't think she missed me at all. Lol. I'm so happy I found someone I trust to care for Willow when I travel.”
“Michele was the perfect host for our goldendoodle while we were in the area for graduation weekend. Based on the photos she sent me, he appeared to enjoy looking at the wildlife out her windows, going for walks with her dog and stretching out on her sofa. Michele was very flexible about drop off and pickup times as well. A great experience for everyone!”
“Greta provided great care for our 11 month old puppy. She has a wonderful property for active dogs and takes them on several walks a day. She was very communicative throughout our pets stay and provided pictures and updates several times a day. We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you for the care.”
“Emily is kind and caring. Funny too! We were impressed by her thoughtfulness with the humans as well -- thank you for the photos and the updates. My old dog's first stay with Emily will not be her last.”
“Kevin was great with our highly energetic dog, Archie! He was very communicative day to day! Archie spent 4 days having the time of his life on the homestead and came home dirty, tired and happy. If we’re ever in the area again, or if we were living there, they would be our go to! Thanks again!”
“Jessica took good care of Bella! Bella was shy and nervous and but Jessica was sweet and patient with her. She communicated well and and was easy to make arrangements with! I would definitely have Bella stay with her again.”
“Swift, Brian, family were amazing with our two dogs! They sent lots of photos throughout the weekend and responded quickly. We will definitely be using them again and highly recommend!”
“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren again!”
“Richard and Hope took great care of Betty; lots of outdoor time and playing with children. They obviously LOVE dogs and make them part of their family! If I’m back in their ar3a, Betty is definitely staying with them again!”
“Sarah, Ben, and Bean are awesome- It was such a relief to get updates and see Attie having such a great time! Having the fenced yard where both dogs could run and get all their wiggles out is a huge bonus, and Attie came home exhausted and happy. Highly recommend them both :)”
About: I have had small and big dogs in my home growing up and have loved them all! Regularly took care of friends and neighbors pets and am a future pet owner myself once I graduate college!! I work part time and am able to do check ins early morning and afternoons. Also love to stay active so always up for walk and even runs I have a very friendly golden at home and a great fully fenced baseball field nearby to let them off leash! Also a big house so plenty of room to move around.
About: Hello! My name is Maryl and I'm very excited to meet your pets and make sure they feel special, loved and overall happy and safe in my care. I've been pet sitting and taking care of dogs for about 2 years now. I absolutely adore animals and I find caring for them to be particularly rewarding. I grew up with a lot of animals (dogs, cats, fish) but no longer have any. Because of this I absolutely love every single opportunity I get to care for them. Each and every pet is unique in their own way and I love getting to know them, connecting with them, and helping them to feel safe and loved while their family is away. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is very free so I have a lot of time to care for, play, and watch your pets! I love animals so I’m more than happy to adjust my schedule for them. I am very willing to do overnights to make sure your pet is safe and happy! I am naturally very calm and positive which I find always animals more comfortable :)
“I felt very comfortable, safe, and secure with my dog Tubbs in Abbie’s care. She has great communication, is kind and caring, and Tubbs was in the best mood when I picked him up (I’m not certain he wanted to leave!). Highly recommend, will definitely rebook!”

Melissa went above and beyond, giving my pup the best time during the two days she watched him. So many outdoor adventures, provided plenty of play time, and made sure to communicate and keep me in the loop on all of it! I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend knowing he was in such capable hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Springfield on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 82 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Springfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Springfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Springfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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 VT 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
