About: It’s pretty fitting that I was born and raised in Brookfield and grew up just a few blocks from the zoo, because my household has been a zoo my entire life! I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, frogs, turtles, fish—you name it. As an adult, I’m the proud fur dad of three large dogs, and I’ve also had plenty of experience watching cats for friends and neighbors. I’m definitely a social butterfly, but at every get-together, my first priority is finding the pets. That’s usually where you’ll find me! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout most of the day for pet care. As a full-time parent, I’m available during school hours, with a few brief commitments around school drop-off and pickup. I’m also available most evenings and have plenty of flexibility on weekends. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel secure and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care. I treat them as if they were my own. I’m also mindful of keeping doors, gates, and other potential escape points secure, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable throughout my stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been raised around dogs, particularly golden retrievers, and helped train multiple family dogs. Great a reflecting the training you prefer for your dogs. 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! Can also do house sitting particularly this coming Sep-Dec! Excellent at ensuring a safe environment for pets and caretakers. Prior experience in puppy proofing a house and comfortable bathing both cats and dogs as needed.
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.
“Claire took care of our cat and everything went perfect! She sent photos everyday and followed all instructions so definitely will recommend Claire to friends and will gladly work with her in the future!”
“Cheryl is very personable, friendly and amazing with cat. She took great care of my 15 y/o senior kitty who required daily medications. My cat feels very comfortable around her. Grateful to have found her. Highly recommended!”
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:)

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 .

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.
