Dog Walking in Plainfield

About: I love dogs and have two rescue dogs of my own. Two years ago, I fostered a dog who had been rescued from a puppy mill. She needed lots of patience, care and love, but she is thriving! I understand the needs of skittish animals, and know they need extra kindness. I would love to give your dog love, attention, and to go for a walk! I’m a teacher who is off for the summer. I am available for visits most days. I will make my clients’ animals a priority, and will always give them attention and care. I will care for clients’ pets by walking them, letting them out in a fenced yard, as well feeding and playing with them, and giving them extra attention! I have a lot of patience (I teach middle school!) and dogs bring me a lot of joy! Can’t wait to meet my newest fur friend!

“Emily was my consistent dog walker before moving after college. She is responsible, flexible, and kind. I’m so glad I found her on rover and I really enjoyed working with her! I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’m Amanda (or Mindy). Animals, especially dogs, have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for when you can’t be there. I work fully remote, which gives me a stable, flexible schedule. I’m looking to give back and make a difference and caring for pets is something that genuinely brings me joy. Being able to help other pet parents while spending time with animals feels like a perfect fit for both my heart and my daily routine. If you live fairly close by, my schedule can be more flexible than what I was able to put in the calendar within the app - just shoot me a message! I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I know how important it is to earn both your trust and your pup’s tail wags.

“Excellent communication and was able to help on such short notice. My dog got a great walk and I enjoyed the pictures :)”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family. From senior dogs with special medical care to young energetic puppies. I make sure to follow all care instructions for feeding and walking (rain, shine, or snow). I keep contact with the owners and send updates. I work fulltime in a school district so I am free during all school holidays and weekends. Summer and winter breaks being the longest free time. Starting August 13th I won't be available weekdays from 7am-3:30pm I make sure to follow all care instructions and never leave any dangerous items (foods, medicines, etc) out and unattended. I keep an eye on the pets at all times.

“Caryn came by for the meet and greet and to understand our Pet’s routine. We have now used her twice and I greatly enjoy the pup reports and photos we get. Would recommend.”

“Victoria was awesome! She took my 6 month puppy and 5 year old dog on walks and played with them. Didn’t have to worry about a thing with Victoria taking care of them.”

About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

“My dog is so happy to see Mikey for her walks! Had to take a personal rest due to an injury. Mikey saved mine and her sanity! Will definitely be using his services in the future if needed.”

About: I love watching and caring for dogs because of their loyal nature and joyful energy. Each dog has its own way of showing affection and excitement, making every visit fun and rewarding. I enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where dogs feel loved and secure, whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. Caring for dogs allows me to build trust and form meaningful bonds with these amazing friends, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy, well-cared-for dog enjoying their time at home. I work from home- so it’s easy for me to stop by before, during, or after work! I am very flexible with timing and days as well. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. Whether in your home or mine, I ensure a secure space by pet-proofing areas, closely supervising all interactions, and following any specific instructions you provide. I create a calm and loving atmosphere where pets feel safe and relaxed, and I maintain open communication with you to build trust and keep you updated. Every pet’s well-being is my commitment, so they can enjoy their time with me worry-free.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I regularly watch dogs for friends and neighbors, treating each pet like family. I’m comfortable with all breeds and ages, and I’m especially patient with puppies and senior dogs who need extra attention and care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available on weekdays for walks and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority in my daily routine. When doing drop-ins or walks, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or administering medication. On walks, I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, attention, and fun while staying safe. I always respect the home and leave everything just as I found it.

“Samantha is great at communicating! Thank you so much for working with my crazy schedule.”

About: I grew up in a household with two of everything! Dogs, cats, turtles, fish, and guinea pigs. I personally took care of them for long weekends. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs and would love the opportunity to take care of your pets! I’m currently a college student. I have class throughout the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays with breaks in between. I also have a part time job I work on Wednesday for about 6 hours and every other Friday and Saturday from 9-5. I like to follow what the owner tells me since every pet is different. I’ll closely supervise them to make sure they are eating and going to the bathroom. I will take them for a long walk/ play with them to make sure they are getting exercise, if i notice a problem I will contact the owner. This should help your pet eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom while their life isn’t as they are use to since their owner is gone.

About: I have had many dogs and cats throughout my life time and love caring for them! I currently work at Part-time and Petsuites also which has given me plenty of experience! I’m currently working part-time at Petsuites so I have plenty of time and experience to care for your furry babies!!! I am very flexible and can accommodate to most needs! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zummies and a bin full of toys and treats just waiting to be played with!

About: I have helped a professional dog waking company in the past. I really care about pets and people, which is why I am going to school for a music education degree. I will make sure your pets are taken care of. I am a college student home for the summer and taking a few classes. Schedule whenever you need to and I will make sure to fit it into my schedule I am very caring and have fun with them. I make sure that they have everything that they need and that they are doing well.
