About: I’m a big animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I’m all about walks, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of cuddles — whatever makes your pet happiest. I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels, and I have hands-on experience caring for a dog with a seizure history and a senior dog with health issues, so I’m calm, attentive, and great at following care instructions. I’m super affectionate, love building trust with pets, and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe and happy. Don’t let the tattoos fool you — I’m a total softie who lives for puppy kisses and kitty cuddles! I work from home as a business owner and set my own schedule, which means pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, walking preferences, and house rules. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and always monitor pets closely during walks and visits. I’m careful about leashes, doors, gates, and surroundings, and I provide updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will always treat your pet as I want my kids (pets) to be treated—with extra love!
“Today was Rose’s first Daycare day with Sylvie. It went really well. She sent a lot of videos, pictures and updates. Rose is getting use to the new surroundings. Sylvie’s puppies were very friendly to Rose. Looking forward to our next visit.”
About: I’ve owned pets since I was younger. I was in charge of walking, feeding, and grooming them. I will provide a loving, safe and comfortable space for your baby’s needs. I pay attention to detail in case there are special request/requirements. My schedule is pretty flexible. We can discuss specific times needed to care for your pet. I am available during the week after 9 a.m and any time on weekends. I have a spacious backyard and inside my home. To provide your fur baby with the care they need, I can also take further steps to make sure he/she is comfortable.
“I can't even put into words how happy and grateful I am to have found Erin. From our first drop off she made me feel totally comfortable. She sent many pics and videos throughout the day. She has great energy with all her pets and mine too. I know my baby is loved and well cared for in her home.”
“Brittany and Eric were a life saver. I had a last minute request to meet them and their pup Bogey before needing day care day for my dog Baxter and they made it happen! I was having construction done on my house and they were sooo flexible with times to drop off and pick up during a stressful time. Their dog is amazing and got along perfect with Baxter. They both seemed tired at the end of the day. And they welcomed Baxter into their home with open arms right away. Right when I met them they welcomed me to come into their home and allowed me to take my dog off his leash to wonder and explore their home. They also let both dogs get to know each other in their back yard. It was a perfect meet and greet and perfect care while I was at home busy with construction workers. They also sent pictures throughout the day and made sure I knew Baxter was happy and in good hands. I would recommend them for care for any dog.”
“Awesome experience! Kimberly was very quick to respond to my request, and schedule a meet/greet. Louis is typically shy at the start, however Kimberly provided great updates during the day as he warmed up. At pick up, Louis was running around all over with her two dogs. Thank you Kim, appreciate you and the warm care you gave Louis!”
About: I love all dogs! I have a senior 12+ year old pitbull who is the most social and friendly dog anyone will ever meet. He himself has been going to doggy daycare for the last 8 years due to seperation anxiety. I work from home and do have to be at the office from time to time or job sites, so my days will vary. I’ll treat your pup like they are my own! I have been a bully breed dog mom for 21 years. We have no kids and a big yard almost a half acre where they can roam, play and of course sploot in the sun! If you pup needs meds I’m happy to help make sure they get their meds. I have plenty of dog beds for them to lounge and sleep too. I work from home, so am at a computer and can work from any room. I start at 8:30 and finish at 5 PM. I will never leave any pets unattended so they feel safe. Fenced yard and I’ll always be around watching when they venture out to the bathroom. If you tell me they need to pee every hour, on every hour it is.
“Ever since we started searching for a home, Vanessa has been our go to person to take care our my Lulu. She’s wonderful, very accommodating to last minute scheduling. I highly recommend Vanessa to take of your fur babies.”
“I was so happy to find someone that gave my pup all the love & attention!! Enzo looked so happy & I know he had a great time. Ana was great with communication & caring for my dog, we will definitely keep in her in mind for the future. Thank you again!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have a dog of my own who I personally potty trained and taught basic tricks, which has given me a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I am very caring and truly love animals more than anything, treating every dog as if they were my own. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while following their routines closely, and I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I prefer morning and afternoon schedules, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy building my day around pets’ routines to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well-loved. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I treat every home and pet with respect and care.
About: Hi! I’m Jillian, a dependable and attentive dog & cat lover (& any other 4 legged creature - shout out to gerbils) offering walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I’m active and love long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and always follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I also have personal experience caring for anxiety-prone dogs, as I have one of my own. Through that experience, I’ve learned successful strategies to help nervous or sensitive animals feel comfortable, safe, and calm in new situations. I’m patient, attentive to body language, and understand the importance of building trust with dogs and cats that need a little extra care. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work or care while you travel, I provide reliable, caring service and regular updates so you always know how your pup (or cat) is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part-time from home. I typically work from 8:30 AM to 1:30pm on weekdays, but I’m often able to accommodate walks or quick drop-ins during that time if needed. My afternoons, evenings, and weekends are flexible, so I have plenty of time to focus on giving dogs and cats the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Since pets are often most comfortable in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special preferences so your dog or cat feels relaxed and secure while you’re away. I’m very attentive to safety during walks and always keep dogs securely leashed and supervised. Because I have experience with an anxious dog of my own, I’m patient and sensitive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, helping them feel calm and comfortable in my care. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and care. I’m mindful of keeping the space clean and secure, and I’m happy to help with small tasks while you’re away, such as bringing in mail, taking out the trash, or watering plants. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.
“We needed a sitter for Leo, pretty much last minute, Penny was flexible and prompt to respond. She took such good care of Leo, he came back home happy and enthusiastic. I would definitely rebook with her.”
“It’s hard to tire out my Bob but he is snoozing beside me right now. Thank you for all the love and care given to him and the great pics and details. He is going to sleep well tonight. :)”
“Natalie was incredible with our dog, Theo! She was so responsive, SO kind and professional! We’re in a new area and are lucky to have found her! Theo had the best time and we’re so grateful for Natalie! Would highly highly recommend :)”
About: We have both had dogs since we were kids and we absolutely love them. But we currently do not have one and would love to help care for your fur baby. We have a large fenced in yard that will keep your dog safe and allow for lots of exercise. We also love taking walks and playing catch with dogs. Your fur baby will get lots of TLC, snuggles and attention here with 4 people in the house to love on them. We both work from home so your fur baby will never be alone. I work from home full time and so does my husband, so your pup will never be alone and this will allow for plenty of potty breaks too. We also go for daily walks in the neighborhood. We have a fully fenced in yard to make sure your baby will be safe while allowing for lots of activity. I am very aware on walks of other dogs who may potentially not be friendly and cross the street if needed. Your dog can sleep in our room on our carpet or our couches. We treat dogs like a member of our family and fully believe they are not just a “pet” but a best friend.
“Diana and Brian were so nice and welcoming! True dog lovers! They sent us videos and pictures of my dog Kofi during his first stay with them to ensure me my dog was having a great time. I will leave my dog under their care again with no hesitation. Huge thank you, Diana and Brian!”
About: Hi, my name is Sim! I have hands on experience caring for pets. I raised my own dog for 14 years and have pet-sat for friend’s dogs. Caring for animals is a passion of mine, and I understand how important routines and attention are. Having been both a pet owner and sitter, I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine. I provide attentive care, communicate clearly, and give regular updates to ensure you feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate focused time to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be attentive, responsive, and consistent with each pet’s routine, ensuring they get the care, attention, and companionship they need. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I make sure they’re fed on time, get their walks and playtime, and feel safe and comfortable. I also keep things clean and send updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Jameson had a wonderful play date with other dogs at Kathleen’s. He is a bit tired the day after. I also noticed he was more accepting, less riled, by other dogs on our walk this morning. A couple dogs barked at him and he did not bark back.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Plainfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,195 sitters in Plainfield, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
