“Amanda is such a sweetheart and our puppy Noa loves her so much! She falls asleep in her lap and adores her. We look forward to booking Amanda to care for Noa when we return for work in the fall and I highly recommend Amanda! She's fantastic!”
“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 🥰”
“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.”
“Xiaotong was great with my fur babies. She kept me informed of their behaviors and asked what they were like she could see what their normal behavior was. I always worry about them but loved she sent me videos and pictures. Very professional and such a nice person. You can tell she loves kitties.”
“We have used Christopher a couple times for our two labs and they love him. He is always prompt and takes beautiful photos to share. This time was a last minute request and we are so thankful for his help! We will not hesitate to use him again.”
“Heather took such great care of our pups while we were gone for the day! Adorable photos and a very detailed report. We feel wet comfortable leaving our pups with Heather.”
“Emily was so amazing taking care of our 1 year old cat while we were gone for 2 weeks on vacation. It is the first time we have ever left her alone. Emily visited with her twice a day and sent text updates as well as photos which we really enjoyed. Emily made sure to not only keep her on her normal schedule but also take cues to meet her needs. We could not be happier with Emily. We will definitely use her services again and are so thankful to have found her.”
“We were going to our family reunion and didn’t want Jojo to make that trip. He’s getting older and the ride would probably be uncomfortable for it. Vanessa was awesome with Jojo and we were comfortable with her from the very beginning. While we were out of town we were at peace knowing Jojo was being cared for. I wish I had known about Rover before because having someone like Vanessa was a life saver. Vanessa was the great. Thank you so much.”
“Rachel was just great!! She followed all of our pet care requests with no issue and was very responsive! She sent pictures of our cats and gave a reassuring update that they are doing well!! We will totally book her again!”
“Bradlei was so great! I'm very happy I chose her to watch my lil "special needs" cat Oliver! He needs his heart meds daily and she was able to make sure he took em! Bradlei kept in touch with me daily, sent the best pix of Oliver and kept his space tidy! I would definitely recommend and use Bradlei again in the future... Thank you so much again! 🧡😺”
“Samantha did a great job of taking care of our almost 11 year old Zeus! We had some drop in visits and Samantha sent us notes and photos of her time with Zeus. We were very happy and highly recommend.”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals! Currently have 3 loving and friendly dog along with 1 cat! They love when friends come over and they have someone to play with! We go on walks, love to be outside in our fenced in our back yard and snuggling up on the couch! My fur babies and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!
About: From dogs to turtles to birds. I grew up with animals all my life. I have my own young pup and senior dog. I truly know the time it takes, walking/ exercising, food schedule, and love to give to both! I love love love animals, so I definitely want to incorporate pet sitting into my lifestyle; especially if it means I can help others during their travels and such. I’m a new mom, but I have a flexible schedule most days! If my hubby works during the time of your pet’s care, I will have to bring the baby so he’s not left alone. I know the value in crate training, potty/ food schedules if need be, being in a comfortable space for your pet, and anything to maintain their sanctuary at home.
“This is our second time having Katie watch our cats. I am a nervous wreck about leaving them but both times we have used Katie she has made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I have one cat who has been through cancer treatment so I particularly worry about him but Katie made me feel confident that she would be able to recognize if he needed anything and sent me pictures and updates every day. We will absolutely be calling Katie for our next trip.”
“Kari is such a rockstar! She was able to fit us in super last minute and still make sure everyone got fed and checked in. Despite our grumpy cat's best effort she was still able to check on her too. Lol you cannot go wrong booking Kari :)”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Plainfield on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,899 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainfield. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
