About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with a background in care of a variety of species. I have done volunteer work with shelter animals, was the main animal care taker at a pet store for years and have done some veterinary technician schooling. I've worked hands-on with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals, and I'm confident handling everything from daily care routines to administering basic medications. I also have experience in plant care as I currently work in that field as well. With my experience and huge passion for animals, I can promise to treat your pet as I would my own. I'd love to connect and learn more about how I can support you and your pet! Personally, I share 3 dogs that I help take care of, one being disabled, I had a dog and cat myself as well until they passed away of old age. Currently, I also have a tortoise, tree frog, rats, a hamster and fish I can only care for pets in client’s homes where I will treat the pet as I would any of my own and respect all wishes of the client.

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet. I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and kindness I would want for my own. 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m usually available in the mornings through approximately 2–3 PM on weekdays. My schedule can vary, so I may also have additional availability depending on the day. I’m happy to coordinate with you to find a schedule that works best for your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I carefully follow all instructions provided by their family, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications or special routines when needed. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision while in my care.
About: I pride myself on my individualistic approach to pet care. Experienced in all aspects of pet care, including: feeding, bathing, facilitating exercise, administering medication, and changing doggy diapers. Moderate experience with puppies and very experienced with senior pups. I plan to contribute my skills as a compassionate pet-lover to care for your pet. I’m currently a college student and my schedule is flexible throughout the week and weekend. I love being outside and around animals, I’m even going to school to do that for the rest of my life! While in a clients home, I respect any boundaries or household rules that are set. If in-home pet care is required while the home is unoccupied, it is my top-priority to ensure the safety of your fur baby and your home.

About: No dog too big or too small, I give out a paw-sitive pet experience. Dog walking done right!!! When you are away, your dogs will play. Pet care involves integrating daily tasks like feeding, playtime, and walks. I’m currently working part time so I would have more than enough time to care for your pets!! Establishing a routine for the pets. Consistency is vital for pets, providing for their basic needs, ensuring their health, and creating a safe and stimulating environment is key!!!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with two wonderful dogs and I’ve raised my three cats since they were kittens, so I understand just how much care, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. They’re part of my family, and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and respect. I also really enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more laid back and cuddly, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care for your furry loved ones!

I am comfortable with any dog size and breed as well as cats! All pets are welcome! I currently have two dogs which you can see in my photos, they are my babies and they have brought me so much joy into my life! I hope to bring joy into your dogs life when their paw-rents arent home! I am currently working full time but I do commute to the city twice a week and then WFH the rest of the days so I can be flexible with my schedule. When i'm not at work i'm going on nature walks or playing with my dogs or working out at the gym! I am always aware of any surroundings when taking your pet out on walks and I will always make sure they get a lot of love and attention while their paw-rents are away! I would just like to be informed if your pet is reactive to other animals/people and if there are any other concerns I should be well aware of! Also if they need to use any special collar or e-collar while being out. I am also comfortable with giving your pet medications if they are on any, whether it be oral meds or ointment or eye drops as long as they are cooperative!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
Amanda is amazing! She is so attentive and caring towards our pups, and they truly love her. Being such big dogs scares a lot of people off, but she has a knack for speaking these big babies love language. We are so glad we found her and are excited to have her watch our furry family whenever we may need. Thank you so much!!
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!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainfield is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
