“David was great with our pup. I was definitely nervous leaving our pup with someone since moving back to the area. David eased that anxiety and took great care of our pup. Thanks so much, David!”
“Dana is amazing with my two dogs who can be a handful to walk together. I also have an incredibly selective dog who warmed up to Dana right away, which is a bigger relief than I can express in words.”
“Sonia is so patient and loving with our anxious pup! She went out of her way to make our dog Jane feel more comfortable with her during her first walk, and has since become a safe person in Jane’s eyes! Sonia is a great communicator and always goes above and beyond. We are very grateful!”
“Thanks for helping us out with walking Riley and Archie this week! Really appreciated the time you spent with Riley too to get her comfortable with you. Will be sure to reach out in the future!”
“First time having Lauren walk Frida. Everything went well. I received pictures from their walk. Frida enjoyed her walk. Frida and mom would definitely like to have Lauren walk her again.”
“Monique was great! She was very accommodating and fit us in on New Years Eve. My pup was very comfortable with her and SO happy to be getting some exercise! Very grateful to Monique for her time and for Julep's walk!”
“Sofia is the best! Our pup loves her! She is flexible with scheduling and is super friendly! 10000/10 care provided for Knox! We have already rebooked with her and cannot recommend her enough!! 🙃🐾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, taking on a dog walking and pet care job in my school neighborhood, caring for over 10 clients with dog sizes ranging from small to large and ages ranging from 2-17. I am currently on break, which means I’m free any day and for however long necessary. Cancellation or hiring me day of does not need any fee I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-supervised. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their environment clean, provide fresh water and food, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks they need. I have experience with rowdier dogs and have no problem walking them!
About: I grew up around pets and have always loved caring for animals. While living with my grandmother, I was primarily responsible for caring for her dog due to her medical conditions. I also have experience helping family members care for their pets. I am compassionate, dependable, and passionate about providing loving and attentive care to every pet I look after. I currently work only once a month at my part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and ample availability during the day to provide attentive and reliable care for your pet. I grew up in a home with pets and have always had animals as part of my life. While I do not currently own any pets, caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. My lifelong experience with pets has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. I am a caring and dependable individual with a true passion for animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while caring for your pet.
“Michelle was fantastic! She took great care of Bailey and provided some extra love and attention. When Bailey was feeling bad, she went the extra mile to make sure I knew how my baby was doing. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, very kind, and extremely attentive to all the specific instructions I gave her. My dog is usually very shy around strangers, but he loved her immediately and went on the walk with her without any hesitation. I couldn't be happier with her service, and I highly recommend her!.”
About: I’ve care for family dogs my entire life, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and routines. I myself had a pitbull mastiff and am comfortable caring for all dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection while following each owner’s instructions carefully. My experience caring for senior cats with changing health needs has also made me patient, observant, and attentive to subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or comfort. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a slower, calmer routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like family. I’m currently in between jobs so I’m available to take care of your pets within a day’s notice. If you need to cancel, please provide notice 3 days prior. I do not offer services regarding keeping animals at my home, as we have too many that aren’t socialized. I have no problem with crate trained animals and will follow whatever specific instructions you leave regarding your animals’ care and needs.
“I think the Aunties have been my best Rover experience so far! They are very reliable and communicative, always sending lots of pictures and personalized notes. One of my dogs is very shy and she warmed right up to Hieu and Anna! I highly recommend them for dog walking or pet sitting.”
About: I am a champion for every animal in my life. I am a proud mama and grandmama for my 2 cats and their kittens. I also have experience taking care of other types of pets, including elderly dogs that required more care and attention. Working in the social media and music world, I have the flexibility to change my daily and weekly schedule as needed for myself and clients. I built trust with my clients by being myself, honest, and kind. This allowed me to care for their pets in their homes, and also overnight as needed.
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is that I have first hand experience with many types of dogs and cats. I’ve worked at a couple of daycares and I have my own animals that I care for deeply. I understand how a pet can be your child and I promise to care for them as I would my own. I’m very responsible, reliable, and I am very fast with responses. Please consider me when you want your pet properly cared for🫶 I currently stay at home for work and I am an artist! I care for my cats daily and can take on the extra responsibility of your animals too! I care for my own pets in many ways, I accommodate their needs and I also try to give them the best care possible! Accidents happen but I always keep the place clean!
About: Hi, I'm John! I'm a dedicated dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs, including my own 7-year-old Boxer-Lab mix, Drogo. I've been taking care of dogs even before Drogo came into my life. I work from home, so your furry friend will have constant companionship and supervision. We live near a beautiful lake with a 0.7-mile path, perfect for daily walks and plenty of exercise. I'm excited to provide your dog with the love and attention they deserve! I work from home so I can care for dogs throughout the day and take them out on frequent potty breaks. We are pretty much always available. We would like to know the following to provide the care needed for your pup: potty and food schedule, medical needs and allergies, what they like and not like, what commands are used for communication, what you allow and not allow, plus anything else you want to tell us!
About: I’m gentle, caring, and dependable. I love animals, follow instructions carefully, and am eager to gain hands-on pet care experience while earning money during summer break from college. I’m currently a student in college and am on my summer break until late August! This leaves me with plenty of time to look after pups and pick up shifts, so I have a very flexible schedule. I currently don’t own any pets but am open to welcoming them for brief stays if needed! I am also very good at following directions, so I would be happy to care for pets as needed in their own space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
Mike is an extremely professional pet sitter. I have booked him more than once and I will continue to do so. He has stayed at my dwelling and I trust he will take care of my dog very well. Mike sends regular updates with pictures that keep me up to date with my senior dog.
Steve is the best. Our slightly special needs rescue needs a gentle but confident hand, and Steve is great with him. He makes sure our old boy gets his medication and food (which he can be quite uncooperative about) and he always takes him on the best walks. We’ve used Steve for boarding and drop-in visits/walks in our home. We know we can trust that he’ll take care of Riley just like we would (or maybe even better!) He’s reliable, communicative, and always sends great pictures, so you’ll always know how well things are going with your furbaby while you’re away!
I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want Tara all to ourselves! It’s very difficult to find a quality/trust worthy dog walker these days, but Tara is surely both! She is extremely detail oriented and follows instructions to a T. She sends TONS of pics and videos with a detailed report card about the visit. It’s clear my pups adore her. They usually take a little while to warm up to strangers but it was love at first site with Tara! She also left the most thoughtful card and puppy cookies. Excited to use her for more walks/visits in the future!
I booked Julia for reoccurring walks with my dog, a senior husky. She was very patient with my pup and made sure she was well taken care. Julia listened to all my notes and concerns with my dog and made me feel comfortable with entrusting her to take care of her. I definitely recommend Julia to look after your dog too!
Lauren was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, very kind, and extremely attentive to all the specific instructions I gave her. My dog is usually very shy around strangers, but he loved her immediately and went on the walk with her without any hesitation. I couldn't be happier with her service, and I highly recommend her!.
We’ve had a wonderful experience having Anna as our dog walker. She has been consistently dependable, always showing up as scheduled and giving us peace of mind that our pup is getting his regular walks while were at work. . She’s kind, considerate, and clearly cares about our dog’s well-being. We especially appreciate her communication — she keeps us updated on how each walk goes and lets us know if anything seems off or different. It’s reassuring to know our dog is in attentive, responsible hands. We’re very grateful for her help and the reliability she’s provided.
Frank is incredibly warm, patient, and friendly! He is reliable and very punctual, and it's a joy to work with him. From the moment he met our dog I could tell that he is a caring young man who really loves animals. Our dog looks forward to her walks with him every day. He meticulously sends updates and photos from each walk. We are so happy to have found him and highly recommend his services to anyone considering him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in West Springfield on Rover is $23.54 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,520 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Springfield.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Springfield. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
