“Charlotte was a wonderful sitter and made me feel so comfortable throughout my trip away from my babies (w cats)! Will be booking again the next time I’m away.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and have always been an animal lover since a little kid!! My experience ranges from 2+ years working as a veterinary assistant, to working at a dog daycare for a little over 2 years, and volunteering at an animal shelter for 4 years! I am comfortable with any dog size and breed as well as cats! All pets are welcome! I currently have two dogs which you can see in my photos, they are my babies and they have brought me so much joy into my life! I hope to bring joy into your dogs life when their paw-rents arent home! I am currently working full time but I do commute to the city twice a week and then WFH the rest of the days so I can be flexible with my schedule. When i'm not at work i'm going on nature walks or playing with my dogs or working out at the gym! I am always aware of any surroundings when taking your pet out on walks and I will always make sure they get a lot of love and attention while their paw-rents are away! I would just like to be informed if your pet is reactive to other animals/people and if there are any other concerns I should be well aware of! Also if they need to use any special collar or e-collar while being out. I am also comfortable with giving your pet medications if they are on any, whether it be oral meds or ointment or eye drops as long as they are cooperative!
“Ally was a great sitter and a pleasure to work with! She was so great with our babies in our weekend away. It was our first time leaving them home, but we felt super safe know ally was looking in on them. We will definitely book with Ally again!”
About: As far as I remember myself, I always had a cat in my house. From childhood I wanted to become a veterinarian and although I’ve gotten a different degree, my passion for animals never went away. I have a cat of my own, have work experience from a dog and cat daycare center, and experience from volunteering in Humane Society, so I know what kind of a care a pet deserves. Additionally, I took safety training at the pet daycare center, which thought me how to handle myself with cats and dogs in the best way. I am working part-time and have most days available for taking care of your pets! Usually I’m available every day in early mornings and after 5 pm, and any time on Fridays and weekends For boarding, I have a spacious home with a fenced backyard if you desire your cats to take a stroll and I know how to safely take you dog on a walk!

About: I have had dogs all my life! I adopted my dog Crew 2 years ago and it has been so much fun. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am a travel pediatric ICU nurse and therefore I only work 3 nights a week! So I have a lot of flexibility, even on the days I work ☺️ I love to take my pup for long walks and would love to do the same with your dogs! My dog Crew is always looking to make new friends!
“It was our first time using Rover and we have a cat that needs daily medication. Kayla kept us informed of how our pets were doing on a daily basis and we could see from our cameras our cats looked forward to seeing her! I have no reservations about hiring Kayla again.”
About: As a long time dog owner, I can care for dogs of all different ages-or just visit with them for a bit! I am experienced with my own pets and am sure I can care for yours in the same way. I’m currently in a hybrid setting at my job so I work from home Monday and Friday and am flexible throughout any point of the day at that time. Tuesday-Thursday I get home at 6:30 or earlier so I can take your dog on a little afternoon stroll as well. With or without toys I can be sure to find a way to entertain your pet! Or we can take it easy and just provide some company and plenty of pats and snuggles for a drop in visit!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
Amanda is amazing! She is so attentive and caring towards our pups, and they truly love her. Being such big dogs scares a lot of people off, but she has a knack for speaking these big babies love language. We are so glad we found her and are excited to have her watch our furry family whenever we may need. Thank you so much!!
Emily was absolutely fantastic! Our dog is very anxious and typically takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Emily was incredibly patient and understanding. She came by three times to help him get comfortable and never rushed the process. Her kindness and persistence paid off, and before long he had come out of his shell and befriended her. Emily was also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and making everything easy and stress free. She was friendly, professional, and flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We highly recommend Emily and would gladly book her again!
We were referred to Daniella through another Rover sitter and she was an angel to our pups! She was very thorough and detailed with her care and notes. And the boys just loved her! She knew exactly what to do and how to take care of them and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!
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.
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 of Dog Sitting in Plainfield is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,598 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
To find sitters in Plainfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
