About: I may be new to cat caretaking, but I pull a lot of wisdom from many cat parents around me! Communication is very important to me and I want to make sure your cat is well taken care of while you're away! I work remotely and can easily stop by to check on your cat twice a day. Google calendar is one of my favorite tools to stay organized! I would like to speak with you first to discuss in depth what works/doesn't work for your pet as well as the rules of your home. Respect is key!

About: I have had dogs and cats ever since I was 5 years old. Growing up with animals has conditioned me to love and care for every animal like it’s my own! I have had large dogs and small dogs. I have special needs animal experiences as one of my dogs had diabetes which required medication and special diets. I have a part time job so I am free most days. Although the part time job is mostly in 4-6 hour shifts which gives me flexibility to care for animals as well I have a fenced in yard and great trails near my house for walking! I live in a quiet neighborhood so loud noises won’t be an issue. I do have two younger brothers 5/6 who live in the house but are used to animals.

“Sophie totally blew me away, once again! I can’t recommend her services enough. She is so kind and so good to my cats when she’s with them. I was gone for 17 days out of the country and I never once felt like I needed to worry about them. When I returned, my apartment was cleaner than I had left it. Every instruction had been followed closely and Sophie even washed my sheets and remade the bed so I had a fresh bed made when I got in from a long, late flight. If you’re considering Sophie, just book her! You won’t regret it.”

About: I have walked, stayed overnight with, given medicine to, and played with animals of all shapes and sizes. I am studying to become a vet so I am an all around animal person! I work from coffee shops a lot so I have a flexible enough schedule to regularly let pets out, feed them, or perform other caretaking tasks throughout the day. I am very adaptable and enjoy taking care of pets in their homes. I like to maintain their regular schedules and be present with them as much as possible during my stay.

About: I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. I provide frequent photo updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles while you're away. As a dog and human mom, I will take care of your pups and home like my own. I enjoy walking, playing, and chilling out with dogs of all kinds. I'm free to help you with all your dog and house-sitting needs. Rest assured that everything will be taken care of and you might even find it better than you left it! I will care for your animals however you know is best for them. I like to get plenty of exercise, cuddles, and crate time, as needed.

“Olena was kind enough to do a meet and greet with me before the trip and my kitties did not hide, which is pretty amazing. My guy kitty hid behind the couch during her visits but did come out and eat for her when she put the dish close to him. This was also big because he has been hiding upstairs on sitters. My girl kitty engaged with her. They seemed relaxed when I got home and no major issues with diarrhea, which is totally amazing for these two. I really think Olena is a bit of a cat whisperer and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

She was very flexible with the changing needs of our three senior cats and took the time to make sure they got what they needed. She communicated with us during the booking and adapted as needed. We recommend Katrina and are planning to rebook for our next trip.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve regularly dog and cat sat for friends and neighbors, and I have two dogs of my own. I’ve also previously had a bunny, so I’m comfortable caring for different types of pets and making sure each one feels safe, loved, and comfortable! I currently have a flexible schedule while I look for my next job, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I already walk my own dogs twice a day, so your pup would get the same routine, exercise, and attention. I’m happy to keep their usual feeding and walking schedule, send regular updates and photos, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m a very responsible, patient, and attentive person, and I take pet safety seriously. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they’re in a clean, comfortable, and secure environment. I’m careful to follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions, and I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care.

About: What sets me apart is the personal connections I build with both pets and their owners. With two years of dog-walking and pet-care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, from small and medium-sized pups to larger breeds. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for Poodles, Labs, Bichons, and many other wonderful dogs! I’ve also maintained consistent, long-term relationships with clients, including families I’ve worked with regularly for two years. I believe every dog deserves individualized attention, patience, and plenty of love. I’m committed to making every walk safe, enjoyable, and something your pup looks forward to! 🐶❤️ My schedule is fairly flexible since I work in the hospitality industry, where hours can vary from week to week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate regular pet-care needs and build consistent relationships with both pets and their owners. As long as I have at least one week’s notice of the dates and times needed, I can plan my work schedule accordingly to ensure I’m available and reliable. I value consistency and communication and want to make pet care as easy and stress-free as possible for you and your furry family members! I have more experience caring for pets in their own homes, which is actually my preferred approach! I believe pets are most comfortable in familiar surroundings, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or their usual daily habits. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible by keeping disruptions to a minimum while making sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for.

As always, Yan provides excellent care for my kitty. This is the third time I’ve had her pet sit and she consistently provides a stellar experience! I know I can trust my cat and my home with her and that brings me so much peace of mind.

Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)

Rydia watched our older cat Dave for a week while we were out of town. We don't leave her very often because she's older and so it was very nice to have her come in take pictures of him and keep us updated as to how Dave is doing and it just gave us peace of mind that we knew our cat was being well taken care of while we were gone

FAQs for Cat Sitting - West Springfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Springfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,203 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Springfield. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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 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 sitter.
