“Rebecca helped me out with a last minute booking request and rushed to take care of my boy, for which I’m super grateful! She went above and beyond again with cleaning up after my boy as well as keeping me posted on how he is doing. Thank you, Rebecca!”


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 personally have a 2 year old Siberian husky back in Colorado that I dearly miss. I have taken care of smaller dogs like Yorkies as well. I enjoy their company and taking them on walks I’m free mostly on weekends. If you need me to drop off or take them for a walk during week days, I can do so. I work from home Monday and Friday and Tuesday- Wednesday I’m at the office. I prefer to take care of pets in your home. I follow instructions and make sure that their meds/ food or walk requirements are all met.
About: For me, pets are more than animals — they’re family. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, attention, and care that makes them feel safe and loved. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s unique routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own, and I’ll do my best to make every visit a happy one! I balance pet care with my regular work schedule and make an effort to be dependable, organized, and communicative with every pet parent. I can coordinate visits, walks, and sitting around my availability, including evenings and weekends when arranged in advance. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll also keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, habits, feeding instructions, and any special needs before caring for them. I’m happy to follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secure, use leashes properly, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, comfortable environment. I also believe communication matters, so I’ll gladly send photo updates and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved!

About: I’ve cared for both mine and my neighbor’s cats for several years and have begun walking dogs this past year. My goal through these visits is to prioritize your furry friends’ comfort while ensuring they have what they need to be and feel safe and healthy! I’m a full time GMU student with a car on campus! This allows me to have a flexible schedule outside of class hours to visit and check in with your pets. 8 years of owning a cat has taught me that animals tend to be very transparent about their boundaries and wants once you know what to look for, and respecting these boundaries while keeping them healthy is my top priority as your sitter!

I keep a calm, clean, pet-safe space, follow your feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates.

Angie was very easy to work with and communicated with us throughout the weekend for peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around animals. This isn’t just something I do for money I actually have fun with it. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re super playful, shy, or just want someone to be with them. When you’re away, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and not alone. I’ll play with them, give them attention, and treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for them to feel happy and cared for the whole time, not just “watched.”❤️🐾 Im available in the afternoons and weekends! i’m always flexable with my schedules, i work a part time job so i can have lots of time with your pup!

“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!”

“Very good attention to detail. I booked drop in visits with David to check in on my car while I was away. He made sure she was comfortable and happy, and sent lots of pictures and even videos so I knew she was being well taken care of. Will definitely use David again in the future.”

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.

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.
