“Andy was great!! He and his partner did a great job looking after our dogs and staying in contact with us! Our dogs had a blast and they were even given a very kind thanksgiving treat from Andy! We will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Maja is the best! We left our kitties in her care for 9 days. We’ve never left them for more than 3 so we were a little nervous about how they would do. Her detailed notes and updates were very reassuring and she captures the cutest pics! Thank you Maja, from our kitties and us <3”
About: My 17 year old brownie passed in May 2026, and I had spent the last 15 years loving her, but her final 3 years caring for her in her old age. From cleaning the messes from an old bladder to hand-cooking her food for her allergies, I have learned the amount of care is different for each animal, and I am flexible with what is necessary to keep them happy. I am currently living a happy, unemployed life and excited to give your pet all the attention and time they need! Flexible on the weekends and weekdays. Your home is you and your pets’ safe space, and I respect every aspect of it and will keep it the way you left it. Clean, organized, and comfortable.
“My babies seemed very happy when we got home nearly like we hadn't been gone at all. Giana did a great job making sure they were attended to and we are looking forward to having her look in on our bouys in the future.”
About: I have always had many animals from rabbits to birds to fish, and of course dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and love making bonds with them as well as making them feel loved and safe. I am in grad school so have school every day Monay-Friday, off on Thursday's but I am extremely flexible. I have school most days 8:30-4pm. I care for pets in my home by making sure they have access to fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a clean and safe environment. I also make time to give them attention and all the love. If caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the client’s specific instructions and routines for feeding, walking, grooming, and other pet-care needs. I would also make sure the pet’s environment is safe and clean while respecting the client’s home, preferences, and routines!
About: Hey y’all! My name is David and I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child. I love going on walks and bonding with all animals in my care. I’m experienced in feeding, administering medication, playtime, and cuddles. I’m very careful to follow all instructions. I have a 10 year old dog name Goliath. I currently work Full time and always prioritize to give Goliath the time and care that he needs . I’m very careful to follow all instructions provided by the pet’s parent regarding care of their pet. I’m respectful and make sure to clean up after your pet and myself while I’m inside your home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I love dogs of all sizes. A lot of my clients I dog sit for reply on me for letting their dogs out, playing with them, giving them lots of love and treats - of course, and taking them on walks I’m currently working part time so I will have time to let your dogs out and feed them. My work schedule is also super flexible. I like to follow instructions given to me by the owner(s). Whatever you would like to happen, I’m open to. If you prefer for me to crate your dogs when I leave, I can. If you prefer for them to free roam, I can also do that.
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”
“Damica was incredible! Super reliable and flexible with some last-minute pet sitting needs. Great with communication and Storm loved the walks! Definitely hope to choose Damica for future needs.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life! From cats and dogs to farm animals and exotic reptiles. I used to work as a musher at a sled dog tour guide kennel in Alaska. We had a little over 80 dogs so I’d say Im pretty comfortable around dogs. I also foster dogs with my wife through the speedway rescue and are looking into fostering cats soon also. If you need quality care for your beloved fur family I promise to deliver the best care! I’m free most every day and can always work in taking a pup for a walk or stopping by to care for one as well! I take my dogs out about every 2 hours for potty breaks and I now have a fenced in yard for play time and some exercise. I frequently walk my dogs throughout the day to keep them happy and active. I also like to do enrichment for my pups to keep their brains thinking and occupied so they don’t get too bored.
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, and birds, plus two years working at an animal shelter where I bathed, walked, and cared for dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to shy or senior pets and always tailor my care to each animal’s needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. As a pet parent to my cats, Beans and Rufus (and having grown up with my dogs, Wrigley and Gigi), I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—I treat them like my own! I work full time, but I am available after 5pm on weekdays. I’m very open most weekends and happy to work around your pet’s routine! . Your pet’s comfort, safety, and daily routine are my #1 priority. I provide calm, attentive care in their home, following feeding, walking, and play schedules as directed. I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and always send updates and photos so you stay connected while you’re away.
About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. I have a gift for connecting with pets I'm meeting for the first time — even the shy or standoffish ones tend to warm up to me quickly. I raised my own dog for 13 years, guiding him through anxiety issues from puppyhood all the way into adulthood, so I understand firsthand how much patience and consistency can matter. I know how important feeding schedules and medication routines are, and I make sure they're followed carefully and on time, every time. Through pet sitting apps, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs — nothing has been too much to handle. I lead with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for animals. A quick note on availability: between my work schedule and time with my daughter, I'm away from home between 9am and 6pm daily. I'm a great fit for pets who are comfortable being on their own during that window, and I'll make sure they're well cared for and comfortable before and after. I'm also proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome clients from all walks of life. Building trust is everything to me — I want you to feel confident that your pet (and your home, if I'm house sitting) is in caring, capable hands. I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!
About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Plainfield is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
Alisa was amazing with Dusty and Toby! She took such great care of Dusty, our dog, and Toby, our cat, while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Alisa was caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about both of them and made sure they were happy and comfortable. We came home to two happy pets, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely have Alisa watch Dusty and Toby again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐶🐱
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.

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.

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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
