“Elizabeth is extremely communicative and professional. She gives lots of updates and always make sure to let me know of their day. I feel very comfortable leaving and knowing my dog is well cared for.”
About: My family has a nine-year-old Goldendoodle named Rocky, and caring for him has been a wonderful part of my life. When I lived with my parents, I helped take care of Rocky by taking him outside for potty breaks every morning and before bedtime. After work, I enjoyed taking him on walks around our neighborhood, giving him exercise and time to explore. I also loved spending time with him in my parents’ backyard, where he could relax and enjoy the outdoors while I worked on yard projects. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of being patient, responsible, and attentive to a dog’s daily needs. Now that I have moved out of my parents’ home, I would love to share that same care and attention with other dogs while their owners are traveling. As a dog sitter, I can provide regular potty breaks, enjoyable walks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I would do my best to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands! I’m currently working full-time. I plan to sit your dog on weekends when I can pay attention to their needs and when most people might be travelling. I will take your dog on regular potty breaks. Let them enjoy the backyard in my townhouse. I will also walk them and take photos to share with the owners while they are away.
About: One of my favorite experiences in college was helping care for my roommate’s puppy during my senior year. While my roommate was away, I had the opportunity to look after her, take her on walks, play with her, and watch her grow. Spending time with her quickly became one of the highlights of my college experience and deepened my love for caring for animals! Since then, I’ve continued to spend plenty of time around the pets of family and friends, whether that means going on walks, keeping them entertained, providing companionship, or making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, cared for, and right at home, even when their favorite person is away. I’m attentive, patient, and always happy to give pets the time, affection, and care they deserve. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone around, I’d love to help! I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I currently work a 9–5, but I’m available for early morning visits from 6–7:30 AM, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve! I love taking dogs on walks, getting them fresh air and exercise, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities.
About: I’ve cared for pets personally and understand how important it is to keep their routines consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. I have a German Shepherd–Lab mix, so I’m experienced with energetic, larger dogs and daily exercise needs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure to follow each owner’s care instructions exactly, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or giving extra attention to shy pets. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I keep my schedule flexible for walks and drop-ins. I’m available for drop-in visits Monday and Wednesday before 8am and after 6pm. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends I have open availability and can schedule visits throughout the day. I keep my schedule organized to ensure pets receive reliable, on-time care and attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine and care instructions closely. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and surroundings on walks and in the home, and I always make sure pets are secure, fed properly, and relaxed. I treat every home respectfully and every pet like my own.
About: I had a German shepherd and Siberian husky both great dogs but boy were those girls headaches at times I know a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to dogs not that i have any certified experience just from my own 2 personal pets hopefully that shows how genuine it would be to watch someone else’s dog I work 3 days a week 13 hour days so Im free majority of the week and my days consist of gym, reading, and work on laptop I respect that I’m in there space and build trust as if it were the homeowner because it’s also the animals home as well, hopefully building trust and a relationship with the pet.
“Sheila took great care of my cat, Stella! She knew exactly what to do and made me feel comfortable right away to leave my pet in her care. Sheila has pets of her own, so she understands how important they are to other owners. I will definitely hire her again!”

“Cindy took excellent care of our cat and our new kitten while we were away for our wedding weekend. At a time where we wanted to be completely present and in the moment, Cindy gave us the mental reassurance to not worry at all about how our cat babies were doing, and that’s the most important quality in a cat sitter. Could not recommend her services enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
Fabiana was fantastic! She was able to help me out on short notice and made the entire process incredibly easy. She communicated well, followed my instructions, and took great care of Bandit despite it being their first time meeting. She even took him on a walk, got some playtime in, and sent pictures and updates afterward. I really appreciated her flexibility and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
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)
Rachel was the best! She is competent and communicative. It was easy to go out of town because she loved on my dog and sent wonderful photos and fun stories about their adventures! Both my boys are older (13 and almost 15) and one has 3 legs. She was great at keeping my reactive big dog calm and he loved all her cuddles and treats and trips outside! She comforted my small tripod through the thunderstorm and he greatly appreciated her lifting him up onto the couch for snuggles and her carrying him home when he got tired after she let him explore and sniff out all his fave places. Thanks and the boys say woof!
Michelle is absolutely fantastic and took such good care of our boy! She made sure to give him a lot of attention, playtime, and pets. We just moved and our dog is still adjusting, she was very attentive to this fact and definitely helped him have an easy day. Her narratives are so great and really paint the picture of her time with our boy. We would highly recommend Michelle!
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.
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
