About: I grew up in a house with cats and taking care of the neighbors golden retriever dog whenever they had trips. I house sat for pet owners throughout highschool. I have given pills to cats and dogs and also done light grooming such as baths, shampoos, and some nail work on dogs. I currently work at the hospital 4 days a week that are swing shifts. I have a flexible work schedule and am always looking for things to do on the side. I currently help care for a dog that requires medication so I am skilled at administering pills to dogs and making sure they actually take the pill. I enjoy going on walks with dogs and also have dog seatbelts if a drive is necessary for the dogs.
About: I’ve been volunteering with animals since I was 8 years old, which gave me a strong foundation in responsibility, compassion, and hands-on animal care from a young age. Over the years, I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, learning how to approach each one with patience and understanding. Volunteering taught me how important consistency, gentle handling, and careful observation are when caring for pets. In addition to volunteering, I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the daily commitment that comes with being a pet owner. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, behavior changes, and overall comfort to make sure they feel safe and secure. I also worked as a kennel technician, where I cared for animals in a structured, professional environment. In this role, I gained experience with proper handling techniques, maintaining clean and sanitary spaces, monitoring for signs of stress or illness, and ensuring each animal’s needs were met efficiently and safely. Working in that setting strengthened my ability to stay calm, organized, and attentive, even in busy environments. Animal care has always been a consistent and meaningful part of my life. It’s not just something I do, it’s something I genuinely care about and take pride in. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work at a school during the day, which means I’m available after 2:30 PM on weekdays. I’m also fully available on weekends and have extended availability during school holidays, spring break, and summer break. Because of my schedule, I’m a great option for families needing care during holiday travel or extended trips. I can provide afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on distance. I prioritize organization and time management to ensure every pet receives consistent, reliable attention and care. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my own home because I have pets of my own and limited space. I want to ensure that every animal in my care feels comfortable and safe, and I believe being realistic about space is important for everyone’s well-being. Instead, I focus on providing high-quality care in your home through drop-in visits and overnight stays. Many pets feel more relaxed in their familiar environment, and this allows me to maintain their routine while keeping their stress levels low. My goal is always to provide attentive, dependable care where your pet feels most secure.
About: I’m a dog trainer with a background in shelter work and years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds — from laid-back family pets to reactive and high-drive working dogs. Dogs are my people, and it shows. Whether your pup needs a structured walk or a friendly face and person to play with while you’re away, you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who truly gets dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of availability in my schedule to spend time with your pups! I will make sure to make your dog feel comfortable and most importantly LOVED while in my care! I will be sure to feed your dog and also make sure he/she gets the proper exercise and attention! I am willing to walk your dog, or even go on a longer adventure if your dog prefers that!
“VIctoria was amazing! Our dogs are rescues and came from abusive situations, so they dont normally take well to strangers and they warmed up to her, which is huge in our book! She is so patient and has a great love for animals. Communicates well and goes above and beyond! I will gladly use her services again and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve raised all my animals from babies. I’m a very caring animal lover and would do anything for them. I’m punctual and very honest. I will make sure I’m giving any and all pets the caring and love they need. I always make sure the animals are fed. Giving them all the love and attention they could ever want. And going that extra mile to make sure they’re happy. In clients homes I always make sure to keep the place clean. Clean up after the animals, take them out if they need to go. Feed them. Etc. I always try to make sure that everything is in the proper place.
About: I recently moved to the area from Colorado, where my career has been working in wildlife conservation managment. I also am an artist and create realistic pet portraits, and I used to work and teach photography. I'm passionate about animal care and have worked as a dog daycare supervisor, kennel manager, vet technician, and surgical assistant. I'm very knowledgeable and comfortable with pets with behavior or health issues. In college I was pet care tech certified and learned about ABC training methods. I have worked with and raised young, senior, rescue pets, and pets with behavior and/or health issues. I am training for running races, so feel free to request a run with your dog (weather and health permitting). Please feel free to message me about boarding and please note I do not have any children (even though my profile refuses to let me change that) As an online student, I can fit most pet care into my schedule and do my schoolwork around. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I can do visits throughout the day. In my home I have a senior dog, she is getting arthritis in her hips and back legs so we keep her moving to help her from getting too stiff - which means lots of walks and rest. And we have a young pyr mix puppy - he helps keep her young. I do not being them with me when I visit clients homes. When I visit your dog it is just me so your dog will get 100% of my attention
About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!
About: Should have heeded my original calling to be a vet but instead, I've made a life around animals by taking care of a variety of animals all my life from cats and dogs to farm animals and birds. I also have vast experience with pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I'm currently working flexible hours from home and can offer care for your pet in your home or mine and am able to do overnight sitting as well as offer morning or evening care. I live in the country and have a friendly lab that is vaccinated and dog-friendly/cat-friendly, and house cats that think all dogs are their friends. Can also utilize a crate if preferred.
“Pam was wonderful with our three cats. She went above and beyond caring for them. Pam even brushed and groomed the cats. Pam always showed up on time, played with the cats and kept us well informed with pictures and texts. She was very respectful of our home, we would Highly recommend Pam for any sitting job.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have a degree in psychology with a focus in animal behavior, which helps me to understand and be patient with all types of animals I'm currently working part time, which gives me plenty of time to play with and take care of your animals. I'm available for sitting and boarding throughout the week and will be available on weekends if need be. I'm willing to travel to your home and care for your animals and I'm willing to bring your animals to my home if you prefer. I have a big yard for them to play in. Pricing is subject to change depending on additional care instructions and situations. Message for more details.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 74 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
