Appreciated her thoughtfulness and care so much and I would definitely book her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, and I've also had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends over the years—sometimes for several weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding,I'm dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Dog walking and boarding fit very well into my schedule. I work in the office from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and I'm home for the rest of the day, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. During the few hours I'm away, your dog will have the companionship of my friendly, well-socialized dog, so they won't be alone. Once I'm home, I'll be available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I live in a gated community which is extremely secure. We also have numerous huge dog parks in the community but I would only take the dogs when it is just them in the dog park, safety is the priority!
“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.”
“Christopher was wonderful and very responsible. It was so fun getting to see pictures of our dog at each of his visits to our home. It was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have picked a better person to care for our dog while we were away. We’ll definitely be using him again. Thanks again, Christopher!”
“Claire was great at communicating during our meet and greet and in our texts leading up to her visit. From her photos while she cat sit for my two cats, they were well fed and got plenty of play. Everything was in great order when I came home, and Claire is someone I will definitely try to use again.”
“From the first time we met Clarissa we could tell she would be a good match for our cat Lacy. Lacy is shy and comes from a rough background. Clarissa communicated every day (twice) and sent photos showing the progress she was making with Lacy. We will recommend her to our friends and look forward to requesting her again in the future. She our trip worry free!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I don’t just stop by to feed or walk them—I make sure they get attention, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their comfort, company, and entertainment is my goal! I work from home most of the week, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and pet care. I have been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years and understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, medication, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help and accommodate their routine. I’m available all day Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and weekends. Mondays I’m available after 3:30 pm. Wednesdays I am not available at this time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have owned dogs my entire life and have cared for more than two dozen dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and dogs that require medication. I also provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I prefer to care for your pet in your own home, as I feel that is where dogs feel most comfortable as it is their home too! I own an English bulldog at my home, so being in your home allows just that one-on-one connection.
“Bentley had a fantastic time with Amanda today! She was very attentive and gave him lots of love plus sent pictures during her drop in! Super quick to responding and confirmed last minute which was a lifesaver! We'll definitely book her again!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful! She responded quickly and was able to stop by on just a few hours' notice, which was such a relief. She took great care of my dogs and kept me updated throughout. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and care—definitely someone I’ll be booking again!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
We had Amanda for four drop in visits over the weekend while we worked and she did absolutely amazing with our two boys. We have an injured puppy and she was very thorough with understanding his care and followed his activity restriction exactly as instructed. She provided updates and left detailed notes of everything they did together during the visit! She even reached out to let us know of anything unexpected with the dogs to make sure we were aware! And she provided plenty of pics. It was very comforting to know our pups would be safe with her. We will definitely be having her back!
From the first time we met Clarissa we could tell she would be a good match for our cat Lacy. Lacy is shy and comes from a rough background. Clarissa communicated every day (twice) and sent photos showing the progress she was making with Lacy. We will recommend her to our friends and look forward to requesting her again in the future. She our trip worry free!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plainfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
