“Milo had such a great experience today! 😊 Paisley was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cared about him. She made sure he got everything he needed, followed all of my instructions, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoy working with dogs, and Milo came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will be continuously using her walking services. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”
About: I have volunteered at a couple of local animal shelters over the duration of 2 years for multiple hours a day! While I only have a certain amount of professional experience, I also own 2 domestic long haired cats who I’ve raised for the last 4 years. I specialize in cat care on a private setting and dog care on a professional setting. I have many available days within my weekly calendar to fit pet sitting and pet walking into my schedule. I have open availability until further notice! Please feel free to reach out and we can make something work. I currently own two beautiful domestic long haired cats. Their daily routine consists of a strong high moisture diets, supplements that cater to their needs, rotation of toys when under supervision, 100% cat safe toys when unsupervised, cat scratchers, fur and dental care, routine vet visits, litter box scoops multiple times a day, and more.
“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”
About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)
About: I have a 6 year old Jack Russel/Chihuahua that is the sweetest most loving girl! I have trained her myself since she was a puppy, I have learned SO much. I have a schedule that’s a little all over the place but I’m willing to work out different times through the week that best suits you and your dog. It’s something that would have to be discussed based on your wants and needs for your dog. All dogs are different, every dog owner is different. But I would be sure to feed, give them water and walk as needed.
About: I’m caring patient and love to have fun from giving paw to fetch with all ages I have flexible scheduling and references as well hope to hear from you soon 🐾🙂 I love pet sitting and always have and I’m very flexible for scheduling if you have any questions please feel free to contact me hope to hear from you soon I can offer as a pet sitter love care compassion and kindness treating your pets as I do my own I hope to hear from you soon
“Was the first time using a sitter/walker and Samantha was so great with our little pug. She kept us updated and sent us pictures of them doing walks and enjoying the day. Couldn’t recommend a better person to trust with your pets when you are occupied or going out of the area. 10/10”
About: I have had animals my entire life, both cats and dogs. Am well versed in different training languages as well as training styles (Mine listen to English and German). I can provide round the clock care as I work from home and am a student from home as well. I can also provide care to special needs/ diabetic animals as I have had both in the past. As well as provide separation between animals if so requested my home if set up to allow them to come and go as they please or be sectioned to different areas. With that I have 2 loving animals one who is a great pyreneese (Daisy mae) and the other whom is a very loving Siamese kitten (snowball) both who are very excited to introduce new friends into their daily routine! I am currently working and going to school from home. Short of grocery store trips and gas rations runs I am available 24/7 for the animals care/ needs I will always provide the utmost respect and care for your home and animals as if they were mine, I am a cna/haha as well and have much experience working in and out of people’s homes. I understand that your animals are your loved ones and your babies just as mine are and will treat them and your belongings as so.
About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish etc. My biggest joke is I take care of other people’s pets so I don’t bring home any other animals. I own 3 cats myself. I work with all breeds and love what I do. I take care of all pets as if they were my own. I work full time at WestMass ElderCare. I am at work for 8 hours. . On my breaks I love giving pets and kisses to the fur babies! I own a 1 bedroom condo. I board on a case to case basis. Your dog must be ok with a leash, somewhat smaller space and be ok ignoring cats. (I own 3)
“Dereck did a great job with our 2 dogs. He is a very good communicator, he's punctual, and our dogs love him! He sent some great pictures and videos so we were able to see what good hands they were in (they had so much fun!). We will definitely have him care for our pups again and we highly recommend him!”
About: I have owned and cared for many pets as well as working for the forest park zoo tending to animals and socializing with them, as well as working as a dog groomer and a dog kennel attendant. I am very passionate and serious about pet care, our fluffy friends deserve the best. I have plenty of experience with elderly and special needs animals, as well as experience administering medication. As someone who owns many animals of my own, a dog, a cat, a multitude of small animals and reptiles, my entire life consists of caring for animals. It’s my main passion. I am available for bookings all day Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and available for mornings every other day of the week! I am a trustworthy person able to remember the schedule of your pets and any extra care they may need. Due to working in grooming for so long, I am excellent in time management and understanding the body language of dogs. I love to take my own dogs outside and play with them with a ball or a toy to help them get enrichment. I am also incredibly interested in training and find respect and boundaries to be very important when forming a relationship with an animal.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I've cared for all types of dogs from dachshunds to pitbulls; toy poodles to great danes. No dog is too excitable or too strong to handle. I am an active person and will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise. My husband and I like to make sure all pups end the day happy and tired. With a large yard on a quiet street, you pet will feel right at home here. I work from home every day aside from Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with a lenient job that I can walk away from when needed. I can take the dog out at any time of day, and have a long lunch break for walks, and plenty of time in the evening for play. I've sat many pets in their own home, and have been able to learn how they behave in their own environment and adapt accordingly. Respecting people's spaces is a top priority, and I always make sure to leave a home exactly as I found it. I have a large home with plenty of outdoor space at the end of a quiet cul da sac. The back yard is secluded and very safe. We do not keep food out, and we make sure no plants that can harm animals ever enter the home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with very few cars. Most all other dogs in the area have interacted with dogs we have babysat, and are very friendly and well trained.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs and I’ve taken care of them and loved them for forever. I’ve recently adopted two kittens and I love to play with them. I’m a student right now with a flexible schedule so I could check in on pets on pretty much every day and throughout the day. I have energy to play with young cats or dogs and can fulfill all their needs. My services will change depending on the pets personality and what they’re needs are.
About: I believe in treating animals humanely and as we would want to be treated. Dogs get the same affect from exercising outdoors as humans do, maybe even more. So why not give them what is good for them? I know you love your pets as a family member and would do anything to keep them healthy and happy however, I understand life just gets in the way sometimes. Allow me to be there to take care of them and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s taking your pup on a wellness walk in the outdoors, playing laser tag with Mr. Meowgi, or keeping your house pets company by staying the night, no request is too big or small to keep your floofs happy. I am just as flexible with taking care of any animal (take a peek at some of my pics) as I am with what I charge. Please do not hesitate to reach out. And always remember, A happy pooch is a happy parent! I am patient, understanding and love all animals. I work full time as a waitress in the evenings and attend online college during the day. I have availability most days and can be flexible (: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I currently live with 2 dogs and a parakeet. I have cared for pets with anxiety, senior animals, farm animals and baby animals.
About: I have not walked dogs for others before, but my family are dog lovers ! I have a genuine love for dogs and love to get to know their personalities. I love to play and be attentive to dogs. I am reliable and you don’t have to worry when I’m walking them! I am currently working full time and in school. I will dedicate Sundays ( Fridays and Saturdays if available)to taking care of your dog! I need puppy time with how busy I am too! Your pets routine is important to me, I’ll follow any instructions that is required of me to make sure your pet is well taken cared of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
Samantha has been incredible! She’s so attentive to our dogs, helpful with our home, and respectful in all ways you can imagine. We appreciate how communicative she is while taking care of our furbabies, and so incredibly kind and easy to get along with! We’ve had some last minute plans made recently and were in a pinch for some dog care and she was available! The dogs do so well with her too which is huge! Thank you Samantha for your kindness and for what you do!
Gina is fantastic! She is a quick and clear communicator and excellent with my two pitbulls. I reach out to her whenever I am in the Springfield MA area and need a walker for my girls. She is on time and always fills out a rover card and sends pictures. Will absolutely book again!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
