“Sarah watched our puppy Zora for 10 days while we traveled. She sent us daily photos and routine updates. Zora was very happy and clearly well cared for. Will definitely be asking her to watch for us again.”
“LOVE Tara. My good little boi could NOT be in better hands while I’m away. He even got a little crown, which he surely appreciated , as he knows he is Augie, Prince of the Earthly Chows and Radiant Golden Spacepuppy. Your home and furry family members will be in excellent hands with Tara!”
“Kerry was amazing!! She really stepped up last minute for us when our last Rover canceled 😭 she is a life saver and took amazing care of our girls. She also provided so many updates throughout our trip. Highly recommend, will definitely book with her again if she’s available!!”
“Hieu and Anna were amazing from the first time we communicated. We had a complimentary meet and greet and it was obvious they desire to put both humans and animals at ease, including bringing healthy treats for our pups! We truly cannot say enough about these two aunties~ from their frequent updates to going the extra mile when communicating with our friend about the status of their visit. They even left a special and unexpected gift. We felt so at ease being gone and it was thanks to these two angels! Otter & Mabel love their lesbian aunties :) we are already looking to book another stay! Thank you Hieu and Anna for making it so easy while we were gone!”
“Dana is an amazing sitter. She provided updates throughout the day which was nice to see how our jeter was doing. She made sure he was exercised even in rainy weather. Definitely would recommend and will hire again in the future.”
“Truffle had a blast yet again! We really appreciated the videos of our pup’s adventures. Titi also got some cuddle time during the stay. The house was very clean when we got home and Renee even mowed the grass. Thank you for taking great care of our furry friends”
“Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!”
“Jeana is a gem! She took excellent care of our 3 dogs. She sent pics and updates throughout her stay. Very trustworthy and dependable. She’s our new “go-to” for dog sitting!”
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish… and some at the same time. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and they will be treated as such with me. I also know that pet care is not just playtime, they require care, constant attention, to follow what you have set for them in terms of schedule and routine, reinforced love… and of course playtime and cuddles! Your pet will be safe with me and I hope to be an extension of your family’s pet care team. I am available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. I work full time from home so your pet will have my constant attention and time to ensure safety, care, and FUN! I do not currently have any pets in the home. Another driving reason for wishing you’ll share your furbaby with me - I definitely miss the companionship, company, and fun a pet brings to the home and my day.
“Seth was great! He kept in touch with me all the time I was away. The dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for as was my home. He cleaned up before my return, in fact when I got back I could hardly tell that anyone had been in my home! My dogs are hugely important to me and I'm at home with them a lot, so knowing there was someone spending a descent amount of time with them each day while I was away made all the difference to me being able to relax on my vacation.”
“Isa was great staying with our 2 dogs for 2 night. She kept us well updated and sent lots of photos. One of our rescues has special behavioral needs where strangers can't pet him, and Isa definitely made him comfortable and he warmed up to her immediately. She took good care of the house as well and followed all of our instructions. We recommend Isa!”
“Kelley was an amazing sitter for my two senior dogs while I was abroad for two weeks. Right before my trip, my older dog had an unexpected ER visit, but Kelley handled his transition and care seamlessly—even navigating a power outage—with total dedication and diligence. She provided excellent communication, frequent updates, and kept the house so well-cared for, giving me total peace of mind throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
“Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!”
“Leah was very personable, thorough and timely. Our crew definitely enjoyed her visit! She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We will absolutely try to use her in the future.”
“Our pups absolutely LOVED Reagan. We were always kept up to date with lots of pictures and videos of our fur babies. Communication was great and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Addison was fantastic. She was very courteous and punctual. Reina absolutely loved her. Also, Addison fed Reina and gave her medication to her on schedule. I will definitely use Addison again to care for Reina.”
“Annie was great with our boy, and he was so relaxed with her. She was so wonderful to come at the last minute when our other sitter had a family emergency and she was very patient when it took us a little while to get home.”
About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve had experience caring for pets of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. From my own pets to caring for family, friends’, and other people’s animals, I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care! I’m also very active and have a genuine love for exercise and the outdoors, which makes spending time with energetic pets especially enjoyable for me! Whether it’s going for a long walk, exploring a new trail, playing outside, or simply getting some fresh air together, I’m always excited to make exercise and adventure part of your pet’s day. I’m happy to match the activity level to each pet’s individual needs and personality. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member and make their time with me fun, active, and comfortable! I am currently a graduate student at George Mason University. Pet care will easily fit into my schedule as I only have classes Monday 7-10pm, Tuesday 4-7pm, and Thursday 7-10pm. Other prior commitments include babysitting every Tuesday from 8am-2pm. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
To say that Dynjandi enjoyed his time with Hieu and Anna is an understatement! He was so sad when his aunties left. I received pictures multiple times throughout the day and a summary of the day every day that I was gone. It was so nice to see that he was being so well taken care of and gave me such great peace of mind. Thank you!
Rydia pet/house sat a second time for us and for much longer this time and she did a fantastic job! She cared for our pets and our home like they were her own. We came home from a 12 day overseas trip and the pets acted like we hadn’t even been gone! And the house was in order and all taken care of. I will definitely use her again in the future!
We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Amanda provided exceptional care for our dog, completely putting our minds at ease while we were away. She was attentive to his routine, went above and beyond to give him extra love and attention, and kept us updated with great check-ins. It is rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own family. We will absolutely be booking Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter!
We used David for the first time and he was great. He was very flexible with a meet and greet and planning around our travel for his stay. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending lots of pictures and updates. We came home to a very clean house and happy pets. Highly recommend and look forward to having him care for our dog again soon!
We were so grateful to have Elena come and care for our sweet Olive during our wedding weekend! Especially on somewhat short notice! She took great care of our space and our girl! Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you so much again, Elena!
Fabiana was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for Ferrari and Aston and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and happiness. She paid close attention to their routines, picked up on their cues, and kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout the stay. It was obvious that my pups felt comfortable, safe, and loved in her care. Fabiana was attentive, responsible, and proactive, always making sure their needs were met and that they received plenty of attention and affection. What impressed me most was her dedication and communication. She treated Ferrari and Aston as if they were her own and made every effort to ensure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed and content pups was the best confirmation of the excellent care she provided. I highly recommend Fabiana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. I’m definitely looking forward to booking with her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to family, friends, and fellow pet parents. She truly exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided.
Isa took good care of our two miniature schnauzers. We didn't have to worry and were able to enjoy our son's wedding. Isa sent us a few messages to update us on how the girls were doing along with pictures. If we need a dog sitter again, I would definitely try to get Isa. Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Springfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Springfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,739 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Springfield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Springfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
