“Hannah was incredible with our cats. She was loving, proactive in their care, tidy, and kept us informed about how they were doing daily! So appreciative of her help and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jaclyn was the best and so accommodating. She kept me up to date and sent daily pictures! We will definitely book with her in the future! I had no concern at all and felt 100% confident that our pup was getting the best care while we were gone!”
“Alisa has a great personality and is very caring and gentle. Alisa did a great job caring for our animals. She took several cute photos and our pets loved her. Alisa never missed an appointment and we trust her to care for our pets again. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Savanna did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation with my family. She fed and pampered Sasha and sent me updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend Savanna!”
“Sarah did an excellent job with our girls Molly and Chloe. Molly is very picky about who she "likes". I was happy to see her playing and coming out when Sarah was there. I will definitely book Sarah again when we need someone in the future.”
“Valerie exceeded our expectations caring for our 13 year old dachshund. She spent ample time with him outside and ensured he ate. We enjoyed the updates with pictures which gave us confidence he was in good hands. We highly recommend Valerie and will request she care for our dog the next time we go out of town.”
“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Crystal was fantastic! We decided last minute to leave town for the 4th of July, and she responded immediately to help take care of our two cats. Our boys loved her! She gave one of our cats his daily medicine, and she loved and played with our boys like they were her own. We also really appreciated the pictures she sent us! I'm sure our boys will be excited for her to visit again in the future!”
“Susan was able to cover a very last minute late night visit for me, and took great care of my babies It was so appreciated to know they were taken care of during a 28 hour shift. Thanks so much for your flexibility and love for them!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or a calm and attentive sitter while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. **I also offer yard freedom for all my K9 friends, as our home sits on EIGHT ACRES, a sought after haven for those high energy babies who love to get their zoomies in!** I understand that every dog is unique, so I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and energy levels. From energetic walks and games to relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to what your dog needs most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and work hard to build trust with both pets and their owners. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and help make their days happier while you’re busy or away! I am a SAHM, so caring for dogs and cats can easily be built into my schedule! My little one loves animals, so taking him along or introducing him to someone new is always exciting, he also enjoys playing with them! We do love backpacking on trails, so there is no limit to the care and fun I can provide. I provide safe, attentive, and loving care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. Since I have animals of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I treat every animal like part of the family. For **boarding in my home**, I create a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow a routine similar to what they’re used to. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and a safe space to rest. For **house sitting in a client’s home**, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I also help keep the home tidy and make sure pets feel secure while their owner is away. For **dog walking**, I make sure each walk is safe, fun, and suited to the dog’s energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower sniff-and-explore pace, I tailor the walk to their needs. For **drop-in visits**, I stop by to feed pets, refresh water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, provide playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. No matter the service, I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive veterinary experience. I've had animals my entire life and have been a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) since 2011. I currently work full-time as a Practice Manager in a busy veterinary hospital, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, injections, insulin, eye and ear medications, and caring for senior pets, puppies, and those with special medical needs. I can recognize early signs of illness or injury and know when a situation requires veterinary attention, giving pet parents extra peace of mind. Above all, I treat every pet like they're my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where your furry family member feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a Practice Manager at a veterinary hospital, so caring for animals is what I do every day. Before and after work, as well as during evenings and weekends, I dedicate time to providing personalized care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's normal routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration, and any special care instructions. During every visit, I make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and companionship while also monitoring their health and well-being. As a Registered Veterinary Technician with years of experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, compassionate hands while you're away.
About: I've lived on a farm for most of my life. My parents were always involved in fostering and caring for pets (most of them were found tossed in a ditch), and many became part of our family. I'm used to caring for animals of different temperaments/personalities. I've always been passionate about animals, and my husband and I have three pets of our own! I'm currently taking time off of school, so I'm flexible most days/hours of the week. My husband does travel for work sometimes, but those times would be reflected on my schedule. Our dog doesn't get along with other dogs, so I'd be more comfortable working with your pet(s) in their own familiar environment. I'd be available to walk, pet-sit, or check up on your fur babies.

Lindsay is fantastic! We have used her twice now to check on our kitties. She is dependable and spends the full time with our pets, sending us photos and providing an update on them. She was very mindful of our home and brought in our mail for us also. Would definitely recommend! Great communication also.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainfield. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
