“Angie was amazing !! She showed up on time and took great care of our dogs. She showed a great deal of compassion and listened to our special requests. One of our dogs has a hip issue and she took notice and provided extra care and concern. We will use her again and welcome her to stay over at our home overnight in the future. Amazing !!!”
About: Hi, my name is Erin, and I have been around dogs since the day I was born. I have dog sat many different breeds for my neighbors and family friends. I worked at a dog groomer's as a bather and learned so much about taking care of dogs. The most important lesson I learned during that experience is that patience and kindness are key when interacting with a new dog. Having these two skills is especially important for taking care of senior dogs and nervous dogs. I also learned that a dog experiences the world through their nose. With that knowledge, I always make sure to include sniffing time on walks. Taking different paths and experiencing new smells keeps their mind active and makes the walk 10 times better. I use all of my knowledge to make sure that each walk is a fun and rewarding experience. I can't wait to meet your pup! For the next few months, I will be on summer break. I only work on the weekends and have always wanted to give Rover a try to meet some new furry friends and help them exercise! I will have plenty of free time during the week, but I am willing to chat to see what works best for you and your dog! I have two dogs whom I love to take on walks in my free time. I always make sure to have two hands on the leash at all times when walking both of my dogs. My older dog (110 lb) is quite reactive and could try to chase something at any moment, so I need to be prepared. My younger dog (70 lb) is very sweet and relaxed on walks and not reactive to other dogs or people; however, he is very skittish around loud noises. If he gets frightened, he may try to run and hide, so keeping two hands on the leash is crucial. I never push my puppies beyond their limit, especially if it is hot outside. Their health and safety are always a concern.
About: Ive grown up with dogs all my life, i started dog sitting for family and friends when i was 15. All family’s relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. Im currently working part time at a carwash which are normally 4 hour shifts. I can come before and after to play and walk your dogs! I will be able to execute the schedule you give me, whether it is feeding time, walking time, or playing time. I love spoiling dogs.
“Samantha did a great job of taking care of our almost 11 year old Zeus! We had some drop in visits and Samantha sent us notes and photos of her time with Zeus. We were very happy and highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Katharine was a blessing! She took great care of our two dogs Abby and Zuma (a beagle and a pit mix). We came home from our trip to two happy and loved dogs. We enjoyed seeing the pictures she sent every visit 💗 Will definitely request Katharine 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.
“Caryn was fantastic! Communication was great, she was very friendly and sent great updates and pictures when she stopped to check on our kitties. We will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.
“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 will definitely be using Sylvie for my future needs! Everything went smooth from meet and greet up until the final day. In my past there he always been some issue with dog sitters. Sylvie was quick to respond to request. The next day she came for a meet and greet which my dogs took well to her! I always get nervous with my 150+ lb mastiff but she had no fear of her! Sylvie sent many pictures during each visit to show me they were in good hands! She also went above and beyond for my older dog who sometimes can't hold her potty on the blanket! I HIGHLY recommend Sylvie for your pet needs!!!!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old German Shepherd and 4 year old black lab mix. I love all animals and spending time with them. I have experience with taking care of diabetic cats who received insulin twice a day. I work full time from home so I have flexibility throughout the day. I am about to become an empty nester now that my youngest will be heading off to college in August. I’ve found that I have a lot of free time. I am available to come to your house as often as needed to care for your fur babies. I can take your dog for walks or just snuggle with your cat, whatever is needed.

I do not have a fenced in yard but am always willing to walk dogs as needed. I have a dog myself. If needed I have an additional small cage for crating/boarding purposes.
“Kari is an amazing walker. Truly the best! She leaves me with photos and details that are above the expectation of what a dog walker could do and Jewel my dog is always happy to be with her.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born and treat them all like my own. I grew up with huskies and labs and now have a husky of my own and a chihuahua. My husky, Koda is a big ball of energy and love to go on walks! My chihuahua, Tiffie is more subdued and loves to cuddle! From puppies to middle age dogs and senior dogs, I can provide for them all and give them all the attention they need. I’m currently only working part-time so I have plenty of time to play and take walks with your dogs! They will all be treated as part of the family. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that would love to play with yours. My husky is always looking to play with a friend! I’m home full time so I’ll be available for your dogs every need! Tons of play time, walks, and of course treats(if no allergies that is) I have a fully fenced in yard! Safety is my number 1 priority for your dog and cannot accommodate aggressive dogs. If there are certain triggers that we can avoid, then please let me know in advance. :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
We had Amanda for four drop in visits over the weekend while we worked and she did absolutely amazing with our two boys. We have an injured puppy and she was very thorough with understanding his care and followed his activity restriction exactly as instructed. She provided updates and left detailed notes of everything they did together during the visit! She even reached out to let us know of anything unexpected with the dogs to make sure we were aware! And she provided plenty of pics. It was very comforting to know our pups would be safe with her. We will definitely be having her back!
Elizabeth did a great job dropping in to feed Winnie and let her out. It was sort of last minute and she was free. Lucky Winnie! She was on time, sent pictures and followed instructions . I am using her services again in the summer for a long stay and I am 💯 % confident she will do an excellent job. I trust her completely in my home. We’re grateful to have found her.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Plainfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
