“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: From my first family dog at 5 to taking care of my grandparents dogs growing up, I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have easily spent more time with them, than without. I was a friends go to for taking care of their Boston Terrier when they went on vacation in my teenage years, and more recently I have been the same for a carefree Husky and loving Rottie mix during longer family vacations, and soon a pair of awesome sibling Samoyeds. I am currently in an off year for school, so I have the privilege of having open availability. I used to work overnights so I tend to be awake late in the evening, but am not against pet care earlier in the day. I am a very patient and caring person and I understand your relationship with your dog is important. With that said I am willing to accommodate the needs of your pet and you. Whether they need plenty of playtime, affection, or guidance, I am more than excited to provide.
“Morgan is great with our family dog she comes Monday through Friday to walk her and Lola is so excited to see her. She wipes her off when it rains and fills her water bowl. My parents are senior citizens so it helps so much having her assist with Lola!”
“Katey has been AWESOME with Willie and working to accommodate our family’s schedule. Katey has tons of experience to match our high energy Irish Setter. Willie’s mood and behavior at home has improved since his walks with Katey!”
About: I've had my share of pets since I was probably about 6 years old and my love kept growing with them. I currently have 3 pets; 2 dogs (Pitbull and a Doberman mix) and a cockatiel. They are my world, along with my husband and 7-year-old twins. I work part-time so I can do late mornings, evenings, and/or weekends to fit your needs. I have a 4-hour break in between my morning work routes and I am off of work by 5 pm. How I care for my pets in my household, may be different from your house. I am able to adhere to any and all rules for your fur babies.

About: I have my own transportation and have animals at home so I personal experience as well as outside experience. I have been involved with a shelter for many years and have fostered dogs for one year. Having experience in a shelter aspect I am understanding of dietary restrictions and am able to give medications. I am extremely punctual and responsible. I love and care for all animals regardless of size or breed. I can do light cleaning around the house and will clean up after the pets. To me jobs such as these are extremely rewarding not only for the pet but for me since I love being around all animals and have lots of fun making connections with new animals. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! I am a student and work part time. I do school through Oregon State University (online classes) so it doesn’t affect my schedule. I’m currently working 25 hours a week at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I always make sure to follow care instructions closely. Calm, safe environments are needed in pet sitting and I feel I can provide different environments based on each pet. Any issues I will always immediately reach out.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. For the past 2.5 years, my wife and I have also been dog parents to our corgi, Riley. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat every dog I care for like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine since we have a dog of our own. I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

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.
I am so grateful for the care and love my dog receives from Amanda. She is very dependable, thoughtful, and truly treats my dog like her own. You can tell she genuinely love animals, and my dog is always so happy and excited to see her for her walks. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Plainfield is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 Plainfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Plainfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
