“Very thankful to have found such an amazing dog sitter for our extremely energetic Australian Shepherd. We have used Deanne twice now and plan on her being our go to sitter! She updates with pictures and our Pup is always happy and smiling in the photos. Each time our dog has come home tired and happy. Would recommend her and her family to anyone.”
“Kaitlyn was great! She was so caring and helpful in responding to my concerns and questions. Also so prompt in all my communications. It is a big plus to know that she is a vet tech and knows what to do! She keeps her home and pet areas so clean and I love all the puzzles she did with our dogs. She sent pictures with the dog’s activities from each day. I will definitely use Kaitlyn again! She is GREAT!!”
“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”
“Milwaukee Brewers won the 2026 World Series and we wanted to spend the day in Milwaukee celebrating without worrying about Lucy. I contacted Heather last minute and she accommodated! Lucy walked into the house with her tail wagging. I know Lucy is happy to be there!”
“Pepe came home soooo happy! He had a great time with Angela. He can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! This is the first time I've left him that he wasn't upset when he came home. Angela made me feel relieved and not worried about him being ignored or abused. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our Chesapeake! We appreciated her communication, pictures, and videos while we were away. I feel lucky to have found her and would definitely recommend her!”
“Carla was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dogs - 3 of them none the less- with anyone and I was very nervous but she made me feel so much better and like they were left with family. On top of that, we had recently adopted a new puppy and she willingly took on them all and loved them as I do. She sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day (as she knew I was nervous) and my family and I loved seeing how happy they were and how loved they were. We are already planning to use her for our summer vacation. Highly recommend using Carla for your pups if you want them loved and cared for ❤️”
“I highly recommend Rusty. Benny stayed with him while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. He sent me pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I was especially nervous because Benny has a history of resource guarding, but he handled him very well and everything went smoothly. Benny was well cared for, safe, and happy during his stay. I would def trust him to watch Benny again.”
“Second time booking. Melissa was super flexible with our last minute overnight trip. We received lots of pictures and updates. We plan to continue to use her! Our dog seems to feel right at home here!”
“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”
About: My wife and I have been loving pet owners for over 10 years. We have pet sat many times over the years and treat others pets like our own family. We also have a decently sized fenced backyard so dogs can play and roam in a safe area. I am a stay-at-home dad who does some work within my house. I can be home pretty much all day during the week so your Animals will not be left alone for any significant amount of time at all. I have a fenced backyard, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. I have no problem crating a dog if needed or allowing them to sleep in the bed with us. Our dogs sleep on our bed every night and most dogs we pet sit also join us on our bed.
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Francine is very professional, a true dog lover and immensely kind with every one and every special needs. I had my little one taken care for 4th July weekend in a very short notice Francine was very eased very much our meet and greet appointment at her place. I received plenty of photos and I was relaxed and very happy during my dog’s stay. I would definitely book her again!”
“Repeat customer. Diane takes great care of our Princess and we are very happy with her dog sitter services. We can travel with peace of mind knowing our dog is being well cared for by Diane.”
“Jason and his wife were awesome. We couldn't of asked for anyone better to watch our dog Ziggy. We really appreciated the many updates and how comfortable they made Ziggy feel. He really enjoyed his stay with Jason and his wife. Thank you so much!”
“This is the first time we've used Rover.com and we were naturally concerned about leaving Gracie with someone we didn't know, especially for almost two weeks. After meeting Joe and Diana, their girls and their little dog Pickles, we knew Gracie would be well cared for. And she was. While we were on vacation, we got pictures of Pickles and Gracie just chilling out. We even got a movie of them playing together. They apparently were becoming such good buddies, we began to wonder if Gracie would want to come home with us. Joe and Diana were terrific accommodating Gracie's needs. Gracie very much likes to sleep overnight in our bedroom and Joe and Diana arranged for her to do that. Except for one night when they woke to find Gracie's bed was empty. It was not a problem though. They soon found her sleeping with Pickles in the other room. Joe and Diana have the perfect house for dog sitting. They even have a cabinet that runs the length of the front picture window, so Gracie had a place to sit and watch the world outside - one of her favorite pass-times. We will definitely use Joe and Diana to dog sit Gracie in the future. Highly recommend.”
“It's always hard leaving my fur baby, but it makes it so, so much easier to have ABSOLUTE peace of mind knowing she is in amazing hands with Jen and her family! I LOVE that I get picture updates and Doby looks so calm and comfortable and like THEIR family pet...she is loved by their family like she is their own. That is PRICELESS. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer and her family a million times over. They will always be my first choice for doggy daycare and overnights. ❤”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Springfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Springfield. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 WI 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
