“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!”
“Xiaotong is a friendly caring pet sitter who seems to thoroughly enjoy spending time with the animals. My 2 cats immediately became friends with her and my 2 dogs also really liked her. She cared for the pets, fed them, cleaned up after them, and played with them. She also let us know about their health and offered to take the cats to the vet when there was bloody urine found in the litter box. I am very impressed with Xiaotong and recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Velcro dog mom to two high-energy Goldendoodles, plus a 10-year-old rescue cat I took in after a box of kittens was left at the pet store where I worked. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Living with two anxious, very attached doodles has given me hands-on experience with dogs who need structure, reassurance, and enrichment to thrive. I’m comfortable adapting to any personality — from independent cats to sensitive or high-energy pups — and I’m especially skilled at helping anxious dogs feel safe through positive reinforcement, exercise, mental stimulation, and consistency. I’m gentle, highly attentive, and detail-oriented with routines, feeding, medications, and behavioral cues. I believe in building trust with every pet so they feel secure, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. You’ll always receive thoughtful updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease.
“Caitlin was great!!!! My dog, Rodgers, loved her and her belly rubs. My booking was also VERY last minute so very thankful she was able to help with such short notice and on a Holiday! Will be using her every time we need a dog sitter 🥰”
“Bradlei has been amazing! My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and she’s not only been kind, but patient and understanding to his needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their fur babies taken care of without having to worry!”
“We were nervous in the beginning because we’ve never hired anybody to watch our kitties. Heather was fantastic. She sent a text and pictures every single day with an update. We enjoyed our vacation even more knowing that the kitties were being taken care of. Thank you, Heather.”
“Christopher is the best! If you’re looking for a pet sitter, choose him! I know my girls are in such great hands with him and I can relax when I’m away. He leaves great Rover cards with wonderful pictures and lets me know if something seems out of the norm.”
“Erin was absolutely amazing. She was punctual and took the time to write daily updates on how he did with each visit that also included a pic, I looked forward to each one. She took amazing care of my Moose. I highly recommend Erin, she is truly the best.”
About: hello! After a long break of doing what we love the most we are back at it. ❤️ my wife Shruti and I love dogs and promise to take amazing care of your pooch. we have a lab mix senior girl-Shirley and a young naughty French bulldog -Bluey. ok with giving any medication if required to.
“Kisha was very attentive and caring for my teenage cat and actively updated me while I was out which was appreciated! She was kind enough to care for my cat on very short notice and was very easy to work with! My cat is usually very jumpy around people, but upon meeting Kisha he was instantly drawn to her. She also gave great advice when I asked about recommendations to make him more comfortable.”
“Claire was great to my 2 cats when I was away. I have an old grumpy cat and by the last day or two he finally let her actually pet him! Huge step for my guy. She took very good care of everything..would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs help!”
“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!”
“Stephanie was fantastic with our cats and diligently adhered to all the instructions provided. I highly recommend her services and would gladly book her again in the future.”

About: It’s pretty fitting that I was born and raised in Brookfield and grew up just a few blocks from the zoo, because my household has been a zoo my entire life! I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, frogs, turtles, fish—you name it. As an adult, I’m the proud fur dad of three large dogs, and I’ve also had plenty of experience watching cats for friends and neighbors. I’m definitely a social butterfly, but at every get-together, my first priority is finding the pets. That’s usually where you’ll find me! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout most of the day for pet care. As a full-time parent, I’m available during school hours, with a few brief commitments around school drop-off and pickup. I’m also available most evenings and have plenty of flexibility on weekends. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel secure and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care. I treat them as if they were my own. I’m also mindful of keeping doors, gates, and other potential escape points secure, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable throughout my stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
Emily was absolutely fantastic! Our dog is very anxious and typically takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Emily was incredibly patient and understanding. She came by three times to help him get comfortable and never rushed the process. Her kindness and persistence paid off, and before long he had come out of his shell and befriended her. Emily was also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and making everything easy and stress free. She was friendly, professional, and flexible with scheduling, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We highly recommend Emily and would gladly book her again!
We were referred to Daniella through another Rover sitter and she was an angel to our pups! She was very thorough and detailed with her care and notes. And the boys just loved her! She knew exactly what to do and how to take care of them and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!
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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
