“Erin was fantastic with my dog, Max, this weekend! She provided daily updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Max was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. Erin was reliable, communicative, and treated Max like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Sylvie is awesome 👏 My fur baby, Willa, absolutely loves staying here. Sylvie keeps me updated with several pictures and videos throughout the day and treats Willa like she is family 🩷. To anyone who may be nervous about boarding - Sylvie is the one to trust to take the best care of your pupper! Highly recommend!”
“Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.”

During my lunch break at 11:45 AM, I am able to come home to check on your pet and provide a potty break and some attention. Because I work for a school district, I am home on weekends, holidays, school breaks, and throughout the summer, giving me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. While I am at work, my mother is also available to assist with your pet as needed, so your dog will always have someone available to provide care and attention. My schedule allows me to create a dependable routine while still giving your pet plenty of companionship, exercise, potty breaks, and individualized attention throughout the day. My dog follows a consistent routine with daily feedings, Three walks, and regular outdoor play and potty breaks. He’s a friendly, 3-year-old who loves having other dogs to play with. Pets in my home are treated like family, allowed on furniture and welcome to sleep in my bed if that’s your preference. I’m happy to match your pet’s routine and comfort level.
“Beatrice did an amazing job caring for our 9 year old pit mix dog. She took pictures, updated us and was always quick to respond. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her while we went away for a weekend. We would use Beatrice again in the future!”

“Enas and her family took great care of our baby girl Choco. She was patient with her transition (staying at her house) and also with her fireworks fears over 4th of July. Daily pictures a quick response was great. I believe Choco was in great hands while we re out of town. Thanks ?”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter than Kimberly. She took incredible care of our dog, Dolce, while we were away for two weeks—and it gave us so much peace of mind to know she was in such good hands. Kimberly sent daily photo updates, and it was clear from her happy face that she was having the best time. Dolce was treated like part of the family and came home calm, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Freya was fabulous and open with communication about our pet. They constantly sent us pics and updates on the status of our Waffle. I feel they went the extra mile on caring for our baby. This was my first experience using this app and now I am willing to keep using it! Thank you Freya!!”

“Patricia was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. She took very good care of our gentle giant, 7yr old golden doodle, and I would definitely seek to use her services again. She is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend.”
“Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.”

About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, and I've also had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends over the years—sometimes for several weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding,I'm dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Dog walking and boarding fit very well into my schedule. I work in the office from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and I'm home for the rest of the day, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. During the few hours I'm away, your dog will have the companionship of my friendly, well-socialized dog, so they won't be alone. Once I'm home, I'll be available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I live in a gated community which is extremely secure. We also have numerous huge dog parks in the community but I would only take the dogs when it is just them in the dog park, safety is the priority!

She was wonderful. Our older dog can be anxious and standoff but seemed comfortable and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I had to. Communication was clear and responsive. I feel it was much better than using a kennel as my dogs were abused at one.
Clarissa did an outstanding job caring for our 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson, for an entire week while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious from the updates that Tyson was having a great time with walks, outdoor play, and lots of love. When she dropped him off tonight, he came home happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true sign that he was well cared for. Clarissa is kind, reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We are incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you again, Clarissa, for taking such wonderful care of Tyson! ❤️

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Plainfield on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Plainfield sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Plainfield landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Plainfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Plainfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Plainfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
