“Valerie was a great help. It gave me a peace of mind while I had to work late all week. And I know my babies enjoyed it. And Roxie (the Bassett), loved her time with Stetson, her son. She received many tummy rubs from him. Stetson now has a friend for life. LOL. And I was so happy to hear that Dixie behaved herself. She is my mischievous one. And yes I would use Valerie again.”

About: We are the proud rescue parents of two adorable girls and a precious beagle prince! Winnie and Baxter are pure-bred beagles and Hannah Jo, a jack russell terrier. The girls are 8 years old and Baxter is 4. They are friendly to all other dogs and people although Hannah gets a little territorial with other dogs if we are around. They love to play and make new friends on walks, at pet stores, and at daycare or boarding trips! We will treat your dog with all the love, attention and care that we give our own fur babies. We know how important our girls are to us and how important your dogs are to you! Rest easy when your dogs are with Cameron’s Canine Care. We encourage you to bring their favorite toys, blankets, pillows or anything else they need to feel at home during their stay with us. 🐾 ❤️ We both work full time evenings and are unable to do a lot of hosting for daycare or boarding currently. That may change soon based on our work schedules. We have a large fenced yard and a house full of toys, blankets and love! We make every dog feel at home in ours and love new visitors and friends!
“Norris communicated well, took care of my animals. Played with them, and showed attention. Made sure all of their needs were taken care of. Norris came two times a day, close to the time I scheduled.”
About: Hi! I’m Janet. I provide a quiet, home-based boarding experience for dogs who do best in a relaxed environment rather than a busy kennel setting. I work from home full-time, so your dog receives plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs become part of the household and are welcome to relax on the furniture, follow me from room to room, or sleep wherever they are most comfortable, including the bed if that’s their normal routine at home. My home features a fully fenced yard with dog-door access, allowing dogs to move freely between indoors and outdoors throughout the day. My Home Is Best Suited For Dogs Who: • Are friendly, well-socialized, and non-aggressive • Have a calm to moderate energy level • Enjoy a quieter home environment • Are comfortable with free access to a fenced yard 🚫 Dogs I Do Not Accept For safety and compatibility reasons, I do not accept: • Dogs with a history of aggression toward people or animals • Dogs that jump fences, climb, dig out, or otherwise attempt to escape • High-drive or high-energy dogs that require constant activity • Pit Bulls, Pit Bull-type breeds, American Bullies, Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas, Wolf Hybrids, or mixes of these breeds I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Just provide instructions and I’ll be happy to help. If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-based boarding experience where your dog can relax and receive individualized attention, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I maintain a consistent daily routine and try to keep each dog’s schedule as close as possible to what they’re accustomed to at home, including feeding times, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care instructions. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences before their stay. I also provide updates and photos during boarding so owners know how their dog is doing while they’re away.
“Ben was awesome, very nice, caring and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable letting Ben into our home to care for our animals while we were away. We will forsure be using him again in the future.”
“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”


About: I am third year medical student, and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds. Your dog will be treated like family if he or she is with me. I am an avid runner, and I am happy to take your dog for a run, to the beach, to play frisbee or sit home with your dog with lots of cuddles. Dogs are always welcome and in fact encouraged to join me on the couch or the bed. If you wish, I will give your dogs lots of treats, but only with your permission :). I have cared for numerous dogs, including disabled dogs,- one had back injury that prevented her from jumping and climbing and another was blind and deaf. The dog in my profile picture is my college's emotional support dog. I took her for near daily walks and around campus to visit students and attend campus events. I am happy to take your dog out in the community, and show it off proudly, treating him/her as if he/she is my own dog. I have a dog loving roommate and lots of dog loving friends, meaning there will be no shortage of cuddles for your "fur-baby"
About: I have had a passion and strong love for all dogs since I was very young. I have grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes and I previously worked in a doggy daycare facility that relied on creating a safe environment for pups to exercise, play, and feel loved. My priority is creating levels of trust and providing your pet with the utmost affection and attention while they are under my care. I currently have full time flexibility after moving back home from attending school out in Colorado. I am now staying with my parents and my dog Nancy before heading down to Alabama :) I unfortunately cannot provide a fenced in yard, but I live an active lifestyle and will happily go on walks, prioritize being outside, and give frequent potty breaks. In addition, my family adores all dogs and breeds as well - a huge plus! Since leaving Colorado with my own dog, Nancy, we have been looking for ways she can make new friends too! With that being said, I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to pet sit, dog-walk, or drop-in for you! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet which is why I want to provide happiness, care and comfort. This is a passion I genuinely love and enjoy so feel free to reach out before hand! Since graduating college, I have a completely wide open schedule before I move again, so your dog will have my undivided attention while in my care. I am prepared to follow any house rules/daily routines such as crating overnight or during the day, or ensuring any training patterns or techniques you may have, etc. I want your dog to feel as if they are at home with me!
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 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: I’m a married 51 year old mom with two daughters aged 17 and 14. I have over 25 years of experience working in a school setting, and am now working part time. I have a 10 year old service dog who lives with us, and works with students at my school. I treat dogs as well as my own children, as I understand how much they are a part of your family. I’m responsible and will be as connected to you as you want- sending updates and pictures to ensure you feel confident that your pet is safe and happy. My husband works from home, and I’m currently working part time. We are up by 6 every morning. I’m primarily trying this on the weekends to start, however depending on your situation, the weekdays could work as well. I have a 10year old golden/lab cross. He is a neutered male and was trained by an organization as a service dog. He comes to work with me to work with students. We often watch other service dogs through this same organization, so I do have experience caring for other pets. We have a kennel in our home that we can use, if needed. While our dog loves other dogs, it would be important that your pet is not aggressive. I have zero concerns that our dog would ever be aggressive. We do not feed our dog anything other than two meals per day, as he is on a strict diet. Water is always out. We would follow all food directions you provide for your pet. Our pet is treated like a human, so no furniture is off limits and pet hair is just part of our lives.

About: I had a small dog growing up, I lived with my roommates small dog for a year, and I pet sit (overnight at my house) for my friend’s Yorkie often. I am an active walker and have a yard. I live alone with no kids or other pets. I am looking to bring some reliability and loving care for your pet! I work full time Monday-Friday 15 minutes from my home, so I can come home during my lunch hour, but I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays usually. I am available for daily walks after 5pm, sitting/boarding Thursdays-Sundays. I have a clean and pet friendly 3 bedroom home and neighborhood. I have a backyard and walk daily. I can crate if needed. I will take care of all needs instructed by owners.

Lindsay was amazing!! I was nervous at first since my 2 toy poodles are blind and special needs babies. Lindsay was amazing with them she took the extra time needed with them and my 2 cats even warmed up to her right away and they usually hide from people they don't know. I will definitely use her again!!! She is fabulous!! Thanks Lindsay!!!
Safe At Home Hannah has consistently provided exceptional care for our dogs. She checks in, and provides pictures to reassure us that all is well. We’ve used her before and recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in the future. Thank you for the special care of our canines.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Plainfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
