About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting other people’s pets in high school. I’ve looked after all types of pets such as hermit crabs, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since then I’ve adopted two kitties of my own and I can’t wait to look after yours! I am happy to stop by for drop in visits before or after my shifts at work or on my days off, send me a message for more specific scheduling. I am very comfortable navigating your home to your needs. I am happy to follow any instruction given and will make sure your fur baby is happy and safely taken care of.
About: I have always taken care of family pets, and within the last 3 years have opened up to family friends, and their friends who looked for pet care. I do not limit myself to just cats and dogs, I can care for more exotic animals such as ferrets, turtles, reptiles, rabbits, etc. I am able to administer medications as needed. Pet sitting is a big part of my schedule. I have spent up to 3 weeks caring for family pets, both overnights and drop ins. Although I have the families I love to care for, I am excited to meet some friendly faces and give more love to! I care for peoples pets preferably in their own homes. I always like to do a meet-and-greet following up to my stays/visits. I always follow how parents ask for me to care for each pet to keep them in a routine they know and love.
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.
“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: 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.
“Lanie was absolutely wonderful to my two cats! She was open to learning their schedule/feeding routine. I have a rescue cat who doesn't like most people and he jumped right in her lap! I'm so happy to have had Lanie while I was gone, and I hope she's available the next time I need to go out of town.”
“Kelli was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. She has experience with older dogs, which we appreciated. She came by for a meet and greet a few days before the appointment and our dog loved her. She took some time to get to know him and seemed to really enjoy doing it. Will definitely book her again!”
About: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
About: From taking care of neighborhood, strays and loving next-door pets. I’m now doing door-to-door service with your loved pets and I’m willing to provide the best service possible! I work part-time during the week and I’m saving money to go to college at Indiana State University! I’m here day or night morning or evening rain or shine! I want to give you and your pet the most relaxing and homely experience possible. I’ll do it to ensure I’m providing the best experience possible tailored to your needs.
About: I’ve had dogs since high school and would love your pup like my own. You can count on me to give your fur baby the best experience! Hi, I’m Maria! I am a lover of all breeds of dogs. I currently have a labradoodle named Millie who has been trained as a therapy dog. I’ve had numerous dogs since high school and even a rabbit at one time! I currently work a part time 3 days a week so I’m open on Wednesday and Friday mornings to help out and possibly do some sitting if my schedule allows it. Feel free to message me and we can work it out :). When caring for your baby, I will make sure to send plenty of photos and updates. I have used other sitters in the past and appreciate the reports I would get from them regarding my pup was doing and it always made my day. I am a very active individual so I love going on long walks with my pup Millie. We’d love for your dog to join us! I have plenty of experience feeding, giving meds, playtime, and lots of snuggles!
About: 🐾 Registered Veterinary Technician Providing Exceptional Pet Care 🐾 Hi! My name is Kelsey, and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with 7 years of experience in the veterinary field. I currently work in both general practice and shelter medicine, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments every day. Animals have always been my passion. I became a veterinary technician because I wanted to give animals a voice and help ensure they receive the care, comfort, and advocacy they deserve. As a pet sitter, I bring that same dedication into every visit. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services throughout the Indianapolis area. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, medication administration, or companionship while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and capable hands. My veterinary background allows me to provide a level of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I am experienced in administering oral medications, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, and intramuscular injections. I am also trained to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health. If I notice anything concerning, I will not hesitate to contact you. At home, I share my life with a Husky, two Husky-Pitbull mixes, a German Shepherd mix, and a turtle. Caring for a diverse group of pets has given me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. My goal is simple: to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I love building relationships with both pets and their owners and treating every animal as if they were my own. I am comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Senior pets • Puppies and kittens • Multiple-pet households • Pets requiring medications or special care • Shy, nervous, or reactive pets I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work full time but my schedule is flexible! If there are any specific needs you have, I am willing to accommodate you and your fur babies :) I currently care for my pets through a large privacy fence and lots of attention! Our pets are very routine-based, but I am also flexible when client’s pets have specific needs.

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.
10000/10! Lindsay is a terrific sitter. She is responsive, kind and you can tell really loves animals. She watched our three dogs in the middle of a snowstorm and went above and beyond caring for them, it means a lot to know your babies are well taken care of and there’s nothing to worry about. Cannot recommend enough!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plainfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
