“Deanne kept all three of our dogs when we were out of town for four days. She kept us informed how they were doing and sent pictures so we could see them and they had all settled in well with her crew. So glad we found her in Rover!”
“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”
“Kylie was super accommodating to helping my girls adjust and feel comfortable. She sent pictures and videos throughout their stay. I felt very comfortable with the dogs in her care and would definitely use her again💕”
“Elizabeth was incredibly patient with my shy girl. When Mabel refused to eat for the first few days, she sat with her and mixed boiled chicken into the kibble. Elizabeth is a great dog boarder and her fenced in yard is a huge added bonus on top of her kindness and love for animals.”
“I was so lucky to find Stella! Boarding the girls in a loving home was exactly what I wanted. Having a fenced yard was a great vacation for them. The updates and photos were great. Highly recommend!”

“Scott and his family were amazing. The daily pictures and updates were something we looked forward to while we were on vacation. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands and having the time of their lives. They came home so tired! Would 100% use them again.”
“Melissa took very good care of Khloe. Khloe was anxious the first day, but settled in after that. Has slept since I picked her up. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would highly recommend Melissa”

“If I could leave 10 stars I would. Jill and her family were the best! I broke my tibia and fibula back in July and it’s been hard handling an 100+ pound German Shepherd so I was nervous about leaving him with other people, but I was so wrong. In these few days Jill has helped him calm down and just slow down in general. I was able to walk him for the first time in 6 months because of her. It’s like I have a new dog, I cried lol. I can’t believe how above and beyond she went. I’m so grateful to have come across her profile because I have been contemplating on giving him to someone who could handle him but I don’t have to do that now. She was always amazing with sending little pics and updates. Big shout out to Jill and the fam❤️ 100000/10 Forsureeee”
“Heather and her family were very welcoming ! They allowed Evie and I to come the night before and meet them to make sure everyone was comfortable! Heather communicated and sent so many pictures! The communication and pictures gave me peace of mind while being away. I really enjoyed the little updates! She made sure Evie was comfortable, snuggled, and even helped to get her to eat when she was a bit stubborn! I loved that her and her family loved Evie like their own! I would definitely recommend and would return. Thank you Heather and family❤️”
“Once again Katie and DJ have taken excellent care of my special needs pup. He is so happy to go to their house, he doesn’t even care that I am leaving. LOL 😂 seriously amazing family that love the animals they care for.”
“My family had an amazing experience with Ashley. She and her family provided exceptional service while taking care of our dog, during a long boarding. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. When we returned, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Ashley. Thank you for taking such great care of our dog! We will definitely look for availability with you for any future boarding needs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
