“We were impressed with how thorough and detailed David was during the meet and greet, and this carried over when we were away and to the attention he gave to our 2 large pups for a week. Once all of his questions were answered, it is clear he provided excellent care and carried out all instructions to the tee. He sent updates 3x a time with pictures so we knew they were doing well - exactly what you want for your fur babies and so you can enjoy your vacay without that worry. We would absolutely book David again!”

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life, being born into a dog and cats household. My passion for pets has led me to working in places that are centered around animals, and my professional experience has given me a great foundation in pet health, nutrition, training and behavior. Animals are my calling in life, and hanging out with them for a living is not a job for me but a dream! P.S. Prices negotiable, open to discuss and find solutions! I am a college student with an open availability schedule. While I have some classes, I am always open to working together and figuring out a schedule that works. I do prefer evenings/weekends, but I am flexible. I will follow all pet parent instructions clearly and explicitly, no matter how much effort it might take. I care about animals deeply and will sacrifice my own time to deliver proper care. With my wide expertise in pet care, I am also open to working with special needs pets. Happy to answer any questions any questions and concerns you may have.
“Michelle is so patient with our dog… and me, as a first time Rover user. Our dog has anxiety and is very active. Michelle has worked with her to build trust and comfort. She’s also great with communicating through the app.”
“Ray answers in a timely fashion and is highly communicative. I had unforeseen scheduling conflicts to which she adapted and remained flexible. I appreciate her understanding and willingness to care for my puppy!”
“Victoria took great care of my senior kitty Macy! She provided comprehensive feedback on how Macy was doing while I was away and gave me peace of mind. I will definitely book her again.”
About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of a variety of dogs and cats and love watching dogs in my home! We have an energetic and very friendly two-year-old dog Eddie that especially loves having dog friends stay over! I am very responsible and will communicate with you about your pet as much as you would like. I will only board one dog at a time, in addition to my dog so your pup will get lots of attention and care. Happy to have your pup sleep on the bed and relax on the couch with us! We do also have a senior cat in our home but we can easily keep him separated from your dog if needed or requested. He is very used to being around dogs however. I have availability between Thursday-Sunday when I will primarily be at home, however someone is always at home as my husband works remotely. We have a large fenced in backyard and also will take your dog on plenty of walks. And your dog will get a lot of playtime and exercise with my high energy dog Eddie and our two kids. I have a fenced in backyard and will also take your dog on walks. I will treat your dog as our own when they are in our home and we do allow dogs to sleep on the couches and beds. We also have a large and small crate available if your dog prefers a crate.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
Tldr: Very caring and very attentive to our pup's care She was incredibly attentive to our needs and sent detailed updates throughout every visit, so we always knew exactly how our pup was doing. She went above and beyond, even wiping leftover poop off our pup's butt without hesitation, which really showed how much she genuinely cares. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thorough sitter.
Lauren was wonderful! I enjoyed receiving pictures of my pup from every visit. She was great with communication, always prompt and on time! My pup was so happy to see her on every visit! I would highly recommend her and will be booking again for our next trip!
Krysta was communicative and extremely responsive before, during, and after planning and check ins with our big dog. She shared photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our pup was happy and relaxed with her! We lost connection while away and though we got it resolved, she even offered to come back and check things out. We really appreciated her services and resolve to make sure Meeko was taken care of.
Ella was absolutely amazing with my dog Chewbacca over the weekend! She treated my little boy with so much love, care, and respect the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Chewbacca was so happy and comfortable with her, and you can truly tell she genuinely loves animals. Communication was great, she was very kind, attentive, and went above and beyond. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!
David and his family went above and beyond to care for our golden while we were away. It was our first time leaving Hank alone at our house for the weekend so we were filled with nerves. That was until we received the first pictures and rover card for their first visit. It was evident that they made Hank feel comfortable and even excited when they arrived! They popped in for 4 hour-long visits each day, doing two long walks and making sure he was fed, put to sleep, and played with each time. It was wonderful seeing multiple members of the family there with him. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Nicole was so great with Lucy and my cat Gia! She was great with communication and i’m so thankful she was so flexible when I needed a last minute rover to check in. She took care of everything I needed and provided me a lot of relief when I had to leave Lucy at home for so long.
We were impressed with how thorough and detailed David was during the meet and greet, and this carried over when we were away and to the attention he gave to our 2 large pups for a week. Once all of his questions were answered, it is clear he provided excellent care and carried out all instructions to the tee. He sent updates 3x a time with pictures so we knew they were doing well - exactly what you want for your fur babies and so you can enjoy your vacay without that worry. We would absolutely book David again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Springfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Springfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
