“As first-time Rover users, we couldn't be happier with Emily's care for our cat! She was very responsive and showed great attention to detail throughout. What really stood out were her visit updates, each one came with photos and a thoughtful description, which gave us peace of mind while on our trip. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to any pet owner!”
“Bentley had a fantastic time with Amanda today! She was very attentive and gave him lots of love plus sent pictures during her drop in! Super quick to responding and confirmed last minute which was a lifesaver! We'll definitely book her again!”
“Caitlin did such an amazing job with 2 cats, one if which can be difficult. Caitlin came daily at the time promised, sent detailed notes on how the visit went as well as adorable pictures of the stay! Definitely a 5 star sitter!”
“Bradlei has been amazing! My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and she’s not only been kind, but patient and understanding to his needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their fur babies taken care of without having to worry!”
“Elyse did a great job watching our cat while we were gone for a week. She was very organized and communicative, and sent plenty of pictures each day that she stopped by. She also gave Cid plenty of attention and was easy to work with”
About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for 12 years along with helping my friends and siblings care for their pets. I love dogs and cats of all ages and breeds and I love to show them the affection and care they deserve. I am currently working part time so I have pretty open availability including all day off on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. I can provide multi day care if needed or just a walk or visits! I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs with different attitudes and personalities. I know how to effectively and nicely deal with any problems that pop up and I’m always willing to provide whatever care is needed for any dogs.
“Xiaotong was an amazing sitter for my kitty! She made sure ahead of time that she had all the correct care instructions. Everytime she visited, she would send me pictures and videos of her playing and giving my cat his medicine and food. She made me feel like Conan was getting the love and care that he needed when I was away! She even went above and beyond what I asked her to do! 10/10 care! Will book again!!! Thanks Xiaotong!!”
“Claire was great to my 2 cats when I was away. I have an old grumpy cat and by the last day or two he finally let her actually pet him! Huge step for my guy. She took very good care of everything..would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs help!”
“I cannot express how wonderful it is to have Heather watch our 4 boys while we are away. She is easy to communicate with and takes great photos of our boys. I love that we have someone we can trust check in on them. 100 % will book her again and would recommend her to anyone !”
“Christopher did an amazing job in taking care of 3 of our pups while we were out of town. The updates during each visit made us so happy! You could tell the dogs love him, too. Very kind and caring, and I 100% recommend booking with Christopher—we sure plan to again! :)”
“Karley is fantastic! We were at ease knowing she was taking care of our pup. She got there right when we asked, played with him and made sure he had his walk. Karley even sent pictures as she was visiting. You won’t be disappointed having Karley care for your dog while you’re gone!”
“From the first time we met Clarissa we could tell she would be a good match for our cat Lacy. Lacy is shy and comes from a rough background. Clarissa communicated every day (twice) and sent photos showing the progress she was making with Lacy. We will recommend her to our friends and look forward to requesting her again in the future. She our trip worry free!”

Have often pet sit for friends and family Third year Med student that is currently on study leave with flexible schedule to fit your and your pets needs!

“Stephanie was fantastic with our cats and diligently adhered to all the instructions provided. I highly recommend her services and would gladly book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I don’t just stop by to feed or walk them—I make sure they get attention, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their comfort, company, and entertainment is my goal! I work from home most of the week, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and pet care. I have been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years and understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, medication, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help and accommodate their routine. I’m available all day Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends. Mondays I’m available after 3:30 pm. Wednesdays I am not available at this time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have owned dogs my entire life and have cared for more than two dozen dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and dogs that require medication. I also provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I prefer to care for your pet in your own home, as I feel that is where dogs feel most comfortable as it is their home too! I own an English bulldog at my home, so being in your home allows just that one-on-one connection.
“Jennifer holds a special place in our hearts. Her kindness and dedication to our dogs and family have made such a positive impact on our lives. We are truly thankful to have someone as loving and compassionate as her by our side. She is forever part of our family.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Plainfield on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,786 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainfield. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
