“This was our first time using Rover and Andy was our sitter. We were very pleased with the level of care that Andy gave our two girls. During Andy's visits she provided updates and pictures. We would definitely recommend Andy and will call on her again for our sitting needs.”
“We’ve been using Cayla for our Golden Retrievers since October 2025. She is wonderful! She really cares for the dogs and can tell that she really loves seeing them each time. She goes above and beyond for the dogs and us too. Cayla is also extremely dependable, which is huge for us. We feel VERY comfortable knowing that she is taking care of our babies on the days we work. We highly recommend Cayla!!”
About: For some reason, every dog I've ever met loves me. I absolutely adore dogs. I've been dog sitting for 17 years for friends and family. I've taken care of shy, skittish, hyper, calm, anxious, and every other type of dog personality. I have a calming way about me that dogs love. I'm incredibly trustworthy, detail oriented, careful, loving, and protective. I am willing to help out in any way needed to make your dog as happy as possible. The dog in my profile is my former dog Roxy. I rescued her from a shelter. She was my best friend. No one would choose her for a forever home because she had a lot of social needs. I was able to work with her on these needs and did a lot of training and she became an amazing dog. I can't wait to meet your dog or dogs and give them the care that they need.
“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”
“Sara is incredible! Is was onvious on day one how much she cares for animals. She is patient and kind with my doggo and quickly made friends. Her communication is top notch and the photos she sends really brighten a dull day”
“Rianna is so sweet with my pups. While they are very low maintenance, she goes out of her way to be super sweet and patient with them. 2 big thumbs up and I will continue to book her for my daily dog needs.”
“Allison is an incredible pet sitter. I was very nervous to leave my babies for a few days, and they helped me feel at ease. Very communicative, and I really appreciated all the photos. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re at work or away on vacation. I’m a mom of two who works from home, which allows me to have a flexible and reliable schedule. I’m available for pet care between 8:00am–2:30pm and again from 4:00pm–8:00pm most days. Because I’m home based, I’m able to consistently show up on time, provide dependable care, and give your pets the attention they need during the day while you’re at work or away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always treat any pet with respect, care, and attention to detail. I follow all instructions closely, keep doors secured, and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving them space or extra attention. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for just like they would with you 🫶🏻
“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”
“I love being able to always count on Deanne to follow through on her commitments. I was gone for 11 hours and it felt wonderful knowing my dogs would be let out. I appreciate the cute photos she sends too and how the app tells you when she came and left.”
About: I have almost a lifetime of experience with animals of all ages. Im patient with high energy puppies and calming to older and wiser animals. I love to bond with dogs over long walks and play sessions. I love spending time outdoors and with the company of a dog, the time becomes even more meaningful. Caring and visiting pets had always been a huge mood booster for me. When I am spending time with your pets we will be playing, taking walks or cuddling as much as possible. I will take the time to understand the needs your pet might be communicating.
“Madalyn is amazing! She does a very good job taking care of my boys while im away for work. She follows instructions extremely well, and the follow ups is excellent! I highly recommend Madalyn for your fur babies!”
“Awesome sitter and very communicative! Was a great help on short notice and we we're never worried about our cat's medications/feeding schedules! I would recommend Travis again and again to whomever may need him!”
About: Retired pediatric ICU nurse. Looking to branch out and care for all animals including ones with medical needs. I volunteer at the animal shelter with the cats. Retired so open to come anytime I’m okay with whatever is needed while your away from your pet. Your animal will be in excellent hands. I have a 60 lb pitbull mix and Yorkie. Would have to care for your animal at your place. Excellent references if needed to check
“Monica was again, able to provide 5-star sitter services for my Big Guy. Long walks, drop in visits, feedings, pictures and great communication. I would highly recommend her for pet care needs. Thank you again Monica, Ripley is so happy when you visit him!”
“Dawnlea is awesome with our dog and three cats. We have her do weekly drop-ins Monday through Friday. She has a calm and loving manner with our pets. She plays with and feeds them. The pictures she sends of our pets are very comforting to see them so well cared for.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Heather took great care of our kitties with daily drop-in visits while we were on vacation. She not only made sure they were ok, fed, watered and cleaned the litter daily, but engaged them to play. She sent pictures each day and gave us a great peace of mind that they were well cared for while we were gone. Will definitely contact her again to take care of our furry babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 726 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
