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.
“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.”
“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 🥰”
About: Dog lover all my life! Would love to meet more and ease your worries while apart from your babies. Please let me know how I can assist I’m not currently working at the moment and would be available for care any day of the week. Can offer many hugs and smiles with many pets. I will be able to come to you and or travel to dog parks near your neighborhood to care for your pups. Walk around the block?? No problem! I got you:)
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have been around dogs and cats since I was little. My family currently has a sweet Toy Poodle, and we had cats before. I volunteered at a cat shelter, feeding, playing with and looking after kitties. I truly enjoy spending time with every pet. All my pet‑care services take place in your home. I cannot host pets at my place I can provide pet‑sitting after 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and I am available the entire day on weekends. I am flexible to work out a proper visiting schedule for you. I only offer in‑home pet care at your place. No pets are accepted at my home. I will carefully follow your care instructions and keep your pets safe and comfortable in their familiar space
“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!”
“Heather is amazing! I have an older dog, who isn't always very comfortable with strangers, but after just a couple visits I could really tell that she was starting to relax. Heather was super responsive and her updates were great! She was even able to add on an additional visit last minute because our plane was delayed. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Xiaotong truly understands cats — it feels like she has a kind of magic that wins them over. My cat is extremely shy; whenever a stranger enters the house, she always hides under the bed. So my only expectation was that the sitter could simply refill food and water and clean the litter box. That was all I hoped for, because every sitter I booked before could only do just that. But Xiaotong completely surprised me. Not only did she handle all the basic tasks perfectly, but on her very first visit she was already able to gently pet my cat! Over the next few days, she even managed to play with her, and the most astonishing moment was on the third day — Xiaotong was able to hold my cat in her arms. For a cat who is terrified of strangers, this is truly unbelievable. Knowing my cat was no longer lonely while we were away made me feel incredibly relieved and grateful. Xiaotong also helped us collect packages while we were out of town, which we really appreciate. I highly recommend Xiaotong. She is professional, patient, and truly caring. She will take excellent care of your cat and give you complete peace of mind.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Small to big and 2 at a time. I Love all dogs and will also love your pet I am open during the week and can do random weekends. I can be flexible on the weekend depending on the weekend that is needed. I walk and play with my dog every day. I will gladly walk and spend time with your dog or puppy as it was my own.
“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.”

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.

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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
