About: I have worked at veterinarian clinics and dealt with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I work Monday - Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. I am off most weekends and major holidays. Message me for what your needs are. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
About: I’m the go to dog sitter in my social circle! As a designated dog-mom, I’m always trying to give each dog the best care I can from different enrichment activities like lick mats or puzzle toys to long 3-5 mile walks through the neighborhood or through a park. I do have my own dog, who loves to play but will also enjoy quiet naps with any visiting dogs. I am lucky enough to work from home so pets are not left alone for the work day. They would have access to a fully fenced yard for outside time several times a day. When a pet is in my care, I do my best to keep to their routine while keeping mine and my own dog’s routine. While with me, they’d have opportunities to not only play with my dog, but to run outside in a fully 6’ fenced in yard, different enrichment activities and to work on any training their pet parents would like us to work on.
About: I was a veterinary technician for some time before I had my baby and became a stay-at-home mom. I have cared for so many different animals with any and all needs imaginable and they have such a special place in my heart. I would love to be a trusted addition to your pet care routine. I have an open schedule that can easily accommodate any of your pet care needs. I can’t wait to work something out for you and your pets! I care for all pets with love and trust, and take very seriously the requests of all pet parents. Every animal has their specifics needs and wants and I am happy to make sure all of those are met.

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.

About: Hi! My name is Rebekah, and I would love to help take care of your animal! I am currently work full time in social media, and use Rover as a way to earn money on the side while spending time with furry friends! I have grown up with pets my entire life, and have previously worked in the salon at PetSmart. During my time at PetSmart I primarily worked with dogs, and have no issues handling all types of dogs, both big and small. Growing up I always had at least three cats in the house, and now have two fur babies of my own. Because of this I feel extremely comfortable handling both dogs and cats, and assisting you with whatever you may need! The nature of my job allows flexibility throughout the week during the day, so while I intend to primarily schedule services after work hours, if your pet needs more than one visit or a visit at a specific time I’m more than happy to work with you on that! Safety is my number one priority when taking care of your furry friend. I always ensure that I know where the pet I am caring for is at all times while I am checking in, I open doors slowly and keep an eye on any pets as I enter or exit your home, and I ensure I am familiar with your pets routine prior to arriving at your home. While on walks I make sure to place myself between your pet and the road, and I also make sure to avoid dogs I don’t know. I do my absolute best to make my stay with your pet fun, comfortable, and safe!
“Kyla is so contentious - she kept me posted when her schedule altered from our requested times. I appreciate her great communication. I will certainly use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
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.

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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plainfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 2,336 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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. 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 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. 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.
To find sitters in Plainfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 95% 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 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.
