“Emily was so amazing taking care of our 1 year old cat while we were gone for 2 weeks on vacation. It is the first time we have ever left her alone. Emily visited with her twice a day and sent text updates as well as photos which we really enjoyed. Emily made sure to not only keep her on her normal schedule but also take cues to meet her needs. We could not be happier with Emily. We will definitely use her services again and are so thankful to have found her.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Velcro dog mom to two high-energy Goldendoodles, plus a 10-year-old rescue cat I took in after a box of kittens was left at the pet store where I worked. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Living with two anxious, very attached doodles has given me hands-on experience with dogs who need structure, reassurance, and enrichment to thrive. I’m comfortable adapting to any personality — from independent cats to sensitive or high-energy pups — and I’m especially skilled at helping anxious dogs feel safe through positive reinforcement, exercise, mental stimulation, and consistency. I’m gentle, highly attentive, and detail-oriented with routines, feeding, medications, and behavioral cues. I believe in building trust with every pet so they feel secure, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. You’ll always receive thoughtful updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease.
About: Dog lover all my life! Would love to meet more and ease your worries while apart from your babies. Please let me know how I can assist I’m not currently working at the moment and would be available for care any day of the week. Can offer many hugs and smiles with many pets. I will be able to come to you and or travel to dog parks near your neighborhood to care for your pups. Walk around the block?? No problem! I got you:)
“Rachel was just great!! She followed all of our pet care requests with no issue and was very responsive! She sent pictures of our cats and gave a reassuring update that they are doing well!! We will totally book her again!”
“Angie is fantastic!! We were gone two days, & she had to go take care of our two dogs 6 times, total. She sent lots of pics, & gave updates each time she was there. She had to clean up some messes in the house, took care of everything like we would have. We already have her scheduled to take care of them again, highly recommend having her take care of your pets!!!”
“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!”
“During the meet and greet, Blue took an instant liking to Kisha which was great to see. Kisha sent us pictures for every visit and we felt very confident that Blue was in good hands. This was our first time using a service like this and Kisha made the experience a positive one and we look forward to using Kisha in the future.”
“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!”
“I booked a 30-minute drop-in visit for my dog, and everything went well. Heather was right on time, super friendly with my dog. I appreciated the photo updates and notes after the visit—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was getting love and attention while I was out, specially since it was our first time using Rover app. 100% recommended”
“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.”
“Christopher was wonderful and reliable with our kitty. Our cat takes awhile to warm up to others and his patience was rewarded with her trust. It was great to know she was in good hands while we were away.”
“Xiaotong was super thorough and communicative. She did an excellent job throughout the process, from booking and planning to taking care of our pets! She sent videos and pictures every day showing that she had done the tasks we laid out. She even took care of our chickens, which she’d never done before, with ease and grace! Thanks so much, Xiaotong!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet. I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and kindness I would want for my own. 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m usually available in the mornings through approximately 2–3 PM on weekdays. My schedule can vary, so I may also have additional availability depending on the day. I’m happy to coordinate with you to find a schedule that works best for your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I carefully follow all instructions provided by their family, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications or special routines when needed. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision while in my care.
“Claire made sure both my kitties were cared for and happy. She was even able to find my skittish kitty who likes to hide under the bed. Provided on-time visits and photos to hold me over till I got home. Great experience!”
“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!”
“First time leaving our kitty & Victoria took wonderful care of him!! She also offered to do some extras while we were gone (mail & garbage) which was just so thoughtful!! So happy that our little guy was taken care of so well - highly recommend & will use again on our next trip :)”
“I just got home to the happiest kitties - Amelia was great! She’s an excellent communicator and I’m grateful that someone so caring was here for the cats while I was away. Thank you, Amelia!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Plainfield on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,699 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.

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.
