Caitlin is so amazing with my dog Alabama. From the first time they met it was an instant connection. You can tell how much she really cares for animals. My cats love her too!

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for 12 years along with helping my friends and siblings care for their pets. I love dogs and cats of all ages and breeds and I love to show them the affection and care they deserve. I am currently working part time so I have pretty open availability including all day off on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. I can provide multi day care if needed or just a walk or visits! I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs with different attitudes and personalities. I know how to effectively and nicely deal with any problems that pop up and I’m always willing to provide whatever care is needed for any dogs.

We love Ava, she has walked Stoney about 6 or 7 times. He sits by the front door just waiting for her. She sends her route and pic on every walk. Sometimes I feel a little worried about the cold for Ava, but she is a trooper. Thanks Ava

About: I've had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I've helped my parents train (through training classes and at home), walk, feed, bathe and enrich both of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pups for the last 15 years. I also had the opportunity to take care of my roommate's two gorgeous cats in college. In October 2023, I rescued my own kitty that I care for night and day. When I’m not lounging with Zilla, I like to spend time with my friends and family, try new restaurants with my boyfriend, exercise, and jam out to music in my car. I've done many overnight stays at friends’ and family members’ homes while pet sitting, and I encourage you to browse my testimonials to learn more about how passionate I am about nurturing animals. I have experience with: - puppies/kittens - adult dogs/cats - dogs of all sizes I also work full-time at a marketing agency focused exclusively on the pet industry, so I've learned an immense amount of information about pet health, pet care, pet safety and breed-specific behaviors/characteristics. My current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. I look forward to becoming your local, trusted pet sitter! As mentioned, my current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. Monday evenings and Tuesday's are the only times I'm usually unavailable. Feel free to message me to discuss my availability as needed - I can be flexible! I'm happy to stay overnight at your home to make your pet(s) feel more comfortable. You know your pet best, so I'll make sure to follow the instructions you give me and make the experience as stress-free as I possibly can for your pet(s). I'll make sure your pet is on a leash/harness whenever I take them outside (unless you have a backyard that is fenced in, of course), and will avoid interactions with other animals during walks if you have a reactive pet.

Elyse has taken care of my dog for the past two years while I am away at work or out of town. Unfortunately we moved away so we can no longer utilize her services. She was always super flexible with her schedule and always did her best to help me out even if it was short notice. I know she loved my dog and enjoyed being with her. I never had to worry! Thank you,Elyse, for all your help over the last couple years!

About: I have such a big heart with a passion for animals. I have been surrounded by dogs most of my life. I have had 5 dogs, 1 hedgehog, 1 turtle, and 2 rabbits. In the past I have worked at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant and even at a dog grooming salon. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from poochons to great pyrenees. I have experience house sitting/dog sitting, and boarding in my own home. I can administer medication, prepare food, and attend to any other needs. Of course I provide lots of walks, play-time, possible massages, and lots of TLC. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. <3 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My mornings start with dropping my son off at school, after which I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care. I am generally available throughout the week, with limited availability on occasional Saturdays. I am home most evenings and available most weekends. I treat every pet visit as a priority — not something I squeeze in between other obligations. I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with animals, so caring for your pet never feels like a chore. My schedule allows me to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Safety and comfort are my top priority for every pet in my care. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible — same feeding schedule, same sleeping spots, same rules — because consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. I am comfortable administering medication, preparing meals to dietary specifications, and handling any special needs. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I am also equipped to recognize signs of illness or distress and respond appropriately.

About: Hi my name is Ky (Kylah)! From as young as I remember I have always had a 4 pawed family member from guinea pigs to large dog. I have always loved caring for animals because they truly so bring peace and are the cutest sour patch kids! So, far I have been pet sitting for my aunt/ other family members, as well as friends for almost 2 years. My main concern when caring for people’s fur family members is having fun and be safe about it. I like to treat everyone’s pet as my own family, with all the love and respect because that is the expectation I have when my very own is in other people’s care. Personal Bio: I currently live in Naperville and work full time while attending school online and doing part time jobs on the side. Full time I work in High School Education with teens with “super powers”. Part time, I pet sit, dog walk, work at a luxury jewelry store, and once in awhile babysit. As a student, I am majoring in Social Work and have hopes of being able to provide therapy to people in need while also bring my own fur baby in as a in-house emotional support dog. My very on. fur baby is currently registered as an emotional support dog. His name is Chance (not like the rapper), he is 10 months and he is a Golden-doodle (miniature/standard- almost 30lbs). He is truly the light of my life. Therefore, if ever booking for boarding he is around. Chance loves other dogs and is very friendly, he has never been aggressive towards any other animals, and he loves playing with all the fur friends. Chance is also trained and he knows to respect other animals space! I am currently working a full time job as a parapro working with students with “superpowers” (special needs/ emotional support), while studying Social Work online. Pet care fits into my daily/weekly routine as my peace. Getting to play with pets or even just going to walks give me the best pick me up after working with highschoolers. I will in a gated apartment community with a on site dog park as well a community dog park next to my unit. I try to continuously have toys and playtime with my fur friends. As well as having my own dog I try to do some training to keep him well balanced which I could do with other peoples animals.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and my family has owned a total of five dogs over the years. Caring for animals has always been something I enjoy, and I have experience dog sitting for many families in my area, as well as caring for my own three dogs whenever my parents are out of town. Through my experience, I have worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments, including dogs with separation anxiety. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for every dog in my care, ensuring they feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away. Recently, I have also begun training my own dogs using operant conditioning techniques, which has expanded my knowledge of dog behavior, care, and training. My lifelong experience with dogs, combined with my dedication to their well being, allows me to provide attentive and compassionate care for every pet I watch. I am currently dog sitting full-time, so I have plenty of availability for daily walks, visits, and personalized care. As a college student, I am available primarily during summer, winter, and school breaks. I always make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it during drop in visits and will treat your space with the utmost respect. I’m also happy to bring in any mail or deliveries that arrive while you’re away.

This is the 2nd time we have used Elizabeth for walking Stoney. She took a last minute appointment for the 2nd time. She is a wonderful happy person. Stoney lived her. She also informed us after the walk a person was messing around our mail box and other mail boxes. So nice if her to notice that. Thank you so much.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Plainfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Plainfield on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,172 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Plainfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Plainfield.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainfield. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
