“Had a last minute change of plans and needed to have someone walk our pup for a couple of days. This was our first time using this service, and Marcela was nothing short of great!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of both of my dogs and really gave us peace of mind while recovering. Excellent communication, great with the dogs, punctual, efficient, went above and beyond while watching them, and most importantly caring - my dogs loved her. 100% recommend!!”
“Dana was fantastic! Reliable, friendly, professional and diligent. This was our first experience with drop-in visits for our cats. We were a little nervous as they haven't been left alone for more than a day until now. Dana was wonderful in providing updates and keeping us in the loop with how they were doing. Everything was left clean and tidy when we returned and the cats were both happy. Highly recommend Dana!”
“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!”
“She is trustworthy and caring, my dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. I also really appreciated the multiple photos and detailed updates for each visit. I would 100% recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Kyle is great. My almost 3 year-old golden retriever still has quite a bit of energy and I work a lot so it’s nice to know that I can rely on Kyle to periodically check in on Buddy and let him out if needed. 🙂 Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Lauren was an absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Prompt, responsible and always let us know how our dogs were doing. We have two big dogs and they were no problem for her. I will definitely have Lauren watch our dogs again and again and again!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, and I have always had cats and dogs in my home. I started pet-sitting for my neighbors in middle-school, and have regularly watched pets for friends as an adult. I currently have two cats and 1 dog. I have had many pets for their entire life-cycle from baby to old age, and I am familiar with the needs and complexities that each stage of life brings. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have significant flexibility to my schedule since I do not have outside employment, and I can typically be available as needed. I have a very small fenced in yard for quick potty breaks, but significant green space around my house for dogs to enjoy regular long-walks and playtime.
“Reagan was an excellent and caring sitter who paid great attention to Dutchess and made sure she was comfortable with a stranger in the house. Will absolutely look to book her again!”
“Allison is fantastic! She provided so many photos and updates for every visit. My kitties were well taken care of. Recommend using Allison for in house visits for any pet. She is so sweet and genuinely cares for animals.”
“Dionisia is a great pet care taker . She is very good and patient with handling dogs with anxiety like mine and I can tell my dog loved her as well. She send photos and always communicated very well with me. I 100% trust and recommend her for anyone who may want to book with her !”
About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.
“Hieu and Anna were amazing! They took great care of my 2 energetic Australian Shepherds while I was out of town. They were wonderful at communicating and gave me updates. My one dog is scared of the elevator and they were able to get him to go on. My doggies are always excited to see them and I will definitely request their help in the future!”

Katrina was awesome! She left me great messages and photos. Even though my cat was so skittish, he never really came out for her, she's still trying to get a picture of him every time so I could see him.. She cleaned up everything when he decided he was going to make a mess. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again.
David was a great sitter for our pit mix. We had a hiccup at the beginning with our dog being aggressive at first. David communicated this promptly and we discussed a plan for support. There were no further issues and our dog was well cared for in our absence.
Kerry was an absolute pleasure to work with and excellent caretaker for our cat Mike! She went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable but also putting us at ease letting us know his every move and interaction while she was here. She gave him pets, brushes, and played with his favorite toys to ensure he was stimulated and not just fed and watered. She made his care experience memorable, thank you!
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.
Lauren was wonderful! I enjoyed receiving pictures of my pup from every visit. She was great with communication, always prompt and on time! My pup was so happy to see her on every visit! I would highly recommend her and will be booking again for our next trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in West Springfield on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,647 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Springfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
