“Issa was great. The dogs remembered her from last year and Aggie, who is slow to trust me people, was in her lap right away. Issa communicated well and sent several pictures. Highly recommend.”
“WOW! No really, WOW! Hieu and Anna are AMAZING! I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of pup. You see, she can be a challenge. I can't board her due to her fear aggression issues (we're in therapy for it!). From the meet and greet, which by the end of my pup was on her back getting belly rubs from them (and that never happens with other people!) to the excellent communication (with hilarious fotos) from them, I am beyond impressed. And they left my home exactly the way they found it: clean and tidy! I've had some real disasters with pet sitters and Hieu and Anna are absolute GEMS!”
“Extremely professional. She look care of Artemis very well played with him, fed him and sent us many pictures when we were away. She asked all he right questions and managed everything very well. Showed personal care for him and took care of him like hers.”
About: Neighbors, family and friends have trusted me with their dogs for over 13 years. I have experience with all ages and up to four dogs in my care at a time. Walking, feeding, playing, and bathing are just some of the services I provide and enjoy. My goal is to make your furry friend feel as comfortable as possible while receiving excellent care! :) I currently have availability Sunday through Wednesday. I can take same day bookings for walks and check ins. I prefer to have one day notice for overnight stays. I intend to keep your home and pet safe by: -Keeping them happy and comfortable -Keeping the dog's area clean and organized -Making sure all doors, fences, crates, etc are closed and locked as instructed
“Kaylie was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cats and they clearly loved her. She also sent wonderful updates and photos throughout our trip. Her communication was amazing both before and during our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kerry was our first dog/house sitter through Rover, and we’ll definitely use her again! She made us super comfortable throughout the process (even recommending we interview multiple sitters before making our decision). She took great care of our fur baby and our home. Kerry was responsive, kind, and kept us informed with updates and photos. Most important, our dog, who can be nervous and has separation anxiety, loved her! She may not have even missed us!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies while I was away! Jeannie is amazing and provided phenomenal communication and pictures making me feel at ease that they were in great hands! Definitely will rebook”
“We recently booked Alexis for pet sitting for the first time, and had a great experience. At the meet-and-greet, she was patient and understanding while we did exercises prescribed by our dog’s personal trainer to properly introduce him to guests in the house, as he is initially very fearful of new people. I could tell by the way Alexis spoke about her own pets and past client pets, that she is very patient and accommodating in order to cater to each individual pet. She followed our care guide to a tee and sent nice pictures and updates of our dog and 2 cats. We felt very comfortable that our pets were being well taken care of. A bonus was, she stayed to clean, running the dishwasher and taking out the trash before departing so we came home to a clean house. We are glad to have found Alexis and certainly will request her for future pet sitting needs.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tatiana. We have an anxious, noise sensitive doggo and she is very high maintenance to take care of (even for us) in this storm prone DC summer. Not only did Tatiana go along with all the crazy care instructions we left her, she showed our dog love and care that most dogs don’t get from their owners. We have never had such a carefree vacation and peace of mind that no matter what, Kesu is taken care of and this is a true gift. Thank you, Tatiana!”
“Michaela stayed with our Lab for three days, and she was wonderful all around. She was prompt and extremely communicative (and shared lots of pics). She walked our dog frequently, and when he created a couple of issues (ha), she handled it great, kept us in the loop, and went above and beyond with cleaning up (laundry, dishes, etc) and generally left the place looking nicer than before she arrived : ). I would absolutely recommend Michaela!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, communication, and attention I give every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra support, I adapt my care to what helps them feel most at ease. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need consistency, potty breaks, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need slower walks, medication reminders, extra patience, or mobility support. I pay close attention to details and always keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize giving them consistent, attentive care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate feedings, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and mindful of maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owner is away. Whether it’s early morning visits, evening care, or extra attention for pets with medical or senior care needs, I make sure they receive the time, patience, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure and relaxed by keeping their feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedules consistent. I pay close attention to details like fresh water, clean litter boxes, secure doors and gates, and monitoring behavior to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take a calm, patient approach to building trust, especially with shy, anxious, senior, or medically sensitive pets. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. As a longtime cat owner and rescuer, I’m especially attentive to creating a clean, safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel at ease and cared for at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
Tara is truly the most amazing pet sitter! We have two seniors, a golden and a German shepherd, that can be a challenge to care for. The German shepherd usually shuts down when we leave on vacation. Tara found ways to connect with him and bring him out of his shell. We loved receiving lots of pictures and videos of both dogs showing them smiling and happy! Tara also took exceptional care of our home. We recommend Tara without reservation. She is the best!
Kaiya was amazing with my 2 dogs. She stayed in our home and made sure they felt comfortable with her and gave them an endless supply of belly rubs, pats, and attention which I know they loved. We would definitely have her and Charles take care of our pups again.
We had to leave down for a death in the family and Christina came to our rescue. Our dog is a recent adoptee and a shelter surrender with a lot of anxieties, who can be VERY reactive to new people. Christina was perfect with him and he took to her right away. Highly recommend.
Christina was absolutely incredible as our dog and house sitter. She continuously went above and beyond in her care for our dogs and home. We had a dog that unfortunately got very sick early on, so Christina stepped up to be sure that he was taken care of and felt loved through his illness. We had constant communication with her to be sure he could be okay while we were gone. We are so thankful for her care and attention. We would love to have Christina care for our dogs again and again in the future. She's wonderful!!
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!
As usual, Jena was amazing. She has stayed at our place twice now with Gus and he’s always very happy and relaxed when we return home, as if we hadn’t left at all. Our place looks great and we trust Jena to be in our home and take care of Gus. We hope to have her back again in the future!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
