“David and his family went above and beyond to care for our golden while we were away. It was our first time leaving Hank alone at our house for the weekend so we were filled with nerves. That was until we received the first pictures and rover card for their first visit. It was evident that they made Hank feel comfortable and even excited when they arrived! They popped in for 4 hour-long visits each day, doing two long walks and making sure he was fed, put to sleep, and played with each time. It was wonderful seeing multiple members of the family there with him. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years and have a dog of my own, Lola. I enjoy walking, playing with, and taking care of dogs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m used to taking care of my own dog and can easily fit walks, feeding, and playtime into my daily routine. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I also make sure to give each dog plenty of attention and keep their environment clean and safe.
“Krysta did a great job taking care of the dogs. I had no doubt of the care they were receiving. She had great communication prior and during the visits. I would use again. Thanks.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our two cats when we were away. She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates with pictures. We will definitely use her again in the near future!”
“We had a great experience with Kimberly! Communication was simple and easy & she was flexible with last minute schedule changes. My pups were happy and well cared for when we got home. We’ll definitely book again!”
About: As a part-time behavior technician, I have developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, responsibility, and providing individualized care. My experience has taught me the importance of understanding different needs, maintaining routines, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m passionate about animal care and enjoy staying active through walks and outdoor activities. I strive to provide every pet with dependable care, attention, affection, and a comfortable experience while their owners are away. i’m currently part time! although i am available through the rest of afternoon, maybe early in the morning infact.Ill let you know more when needed discuss once giving them food and water i do check up every 5-10 minutes to see if they have ate and if did, i do them couple more minutes (est. 10 mins) before taking them out and walking them to use the bathroom. Medication i read the labels and instructions and when it comes to rest i make sure they are comfortable in their own space
“10 stars if I could!!! Thank you so much for all your help! At the drop of a dime came and helped out super last minute for a situation! Thank you again, 10/10 support and derive for my cats! Literally saved my cats life! Thank you”
About: I want to be able to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment where your pets can get the love and attention they deserve just like mine. I've always love dogs. Right now I have a female corgi which is adorable and love her so much. I'd be delighted to come to your home to walk your dog, take him/her to Vet or to a grooming appointment. Please let me know any medical conditions your pup may have. Any special needs. What the rules are at your house, also I require your pups to be vaccinated and treated with fleas and tick medication.
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.
“Cassie did an incredible job taking care of our three kitties. They absolutely loved her and loved hanging out with her, even though they are usually pretty shy around new people. She made sure that every evening they had their dinner, water, clean litter boxes and lots of love. We felt much more comfortable being away from them for a week knowing that Cassie was taking such good care of them. We came home to some pretty happy kitties, thanks to Cassie. We will definitely use her, again, next time we need someone to care for our fur babies.”
“Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future”
About: We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family. We let our own mammals out once every two hours. We also feed our animals twice a day about 12 hours apart. We make sure they are well exercised and rested. There is a large fenced in area for horses that we converted to our own private dog park. We will follow the rules of your home should you need a stop in. If your mammals stay with us, we will treat them as our own, and per your instructions.
“Lucy was a wonderful dogsitter! She was very thoughtful and caring with our Binya and kept us updated with photos and notes the whole time we were gone. It was a HUGE relief to know that Binya was being cared for so well. Highly recommended!”
“Jackie took amazing care of Tycho during our trip, with highly communicative updates that really gave us peace of mind — especially around the fireworks on July 4th. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with Tycho to help him feel safe and calm, and giving him lots of extra cuddles. We could not have asked for better care, and we’re so grateful to have found such a thoughtful, reliable sitter! Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Springfield
David did a wonderful job of caring for our dog Mindy. David was always in time and highly communicative. He was very kind to our senior doggo. We had to do a fairly last minute booking, and David responded right away and made time for a meet up beforehand. He was also able to adjust along the way to add some more drop ins.
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!
Rydia watched our older cat Dave for a week while we were out of town. We don't leave her very often because she's older and so it was very nice to have her come in take pictures of him and keep us updated as to how Dave is doing and it just gave us peace of mind that we knew our cat was being well taken care of while we were gone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Springfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 15,379 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Springfield. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
