About: I am a huge Dog Lover. I will provide walks and a lot of snuggles. I also have a mini golden doodle who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I work remote so I will be home all day Monday through Friday to be able to give your dog a lot of attention. I am in and out on weekends so will have plenty of time to give your dog the proper care. I have a big backyard with a privacy fence so plenty of room for your dog to run and play. I will care for your dog like it’s my own. I allow dogs on my furniture and all around the house.
About: Hi! I'm Emily, and we just moved to the Avon/Danville border with 10 acres of play room. I have 5 kiddos who will love and snuggle your pet just like you would. Your pet will fit right in with our loving family. We have a military German Shepard (14 years old) who is just a lazy girl anymore but use to different dogs in her home. We have experience in caring for many types of pets and have experience giving medications. I work from home so I am here with them all day so your loved one is not locked in a kennel all day. **Please only select times that you can be here for pick up and drop off. I work from home so I move meetings around the times that you select or kids activities for pick up and drop offs. You not being on time may result in me not be available at the time you decide to show up. I am flexible, but only with communication.** Looking forward to spending time with your pet! I work from home so I am able to have a more strict schedule on letting your loved pet outside, take on walks, and dispense medication. Kids are home and will snuggle and play even more with your pet as wished. I have two friendly dogs and 5 kiddos who can help keep your baby company and well cared for. We really try to follow your schedule. If you crate train, then we will continue your schedule. If not, then we won't. We really try to follow what your pup is used to to ease any anxiety.
“Miranda took great care of our dogs and bunnies! She communicated with daily reports while we were gone. She went above and beyond to keep our house neat and tidy. As a first time Rover customer this was a great first experience. I would rebook with Miranda in the future, and recommend her to others.”
“Heather was amazing with Rip & Diesel. I couldn’t ask for a better house / dog sitter. It was a last minute booking and Heather came through for me. I will rebook for sure with Heather.”
“Patrick is an EXCELLENT fur baby sitter! He sent us so many great reports and photos while he was taking great care of Chanel and Raven! He was so patient with our nervous Nellie pup and by the time we returned home, they were best of friends. He was on time to start house and pet sitting and just delivered the BEST service overall!”
“We have 2 dogs. 6 month old puppy and 4 year old. Susan helped train them. She walked them and had them outside playing every day. They were treated like royalty! She’s wonderful to communicate with. You can tell she is very experienced with dogs. We felt like we won the lottery.”
“Danielle was amazing! She took care of my 2 older kitties one of which has to take medicine 2 times a day! She came morning and night to administer her meds, cleaned the liter box and made sure all was picked up! Would definitely recommend and would be sure to use Danielle again!”

“Robin was very attentive to my babies and treated them as her own. She kept me updated during the stay with photos and texts. I was very relaxed knowing my girls were all happy! I would definitely use her again!”
“Once again Ben was wonderful. He made sure our boys had enough exercise and fun while he was here. We felt at ease knowing our babies were being well taken care of. Hopefully Ben will be available for our next getaway!”

“As always. Zach was the best dog and house sitter! Goes above and beyond, sends lots of photos and videos, and makes sure our dog is getting lots of love and care while we’re away.”
About: Throughout my life, I have grown up being around dogs and cats and have taken care of my own pets within my household. From my experiences, I have taken on basic responsibilities such as feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up, and giving them lots of cuddles and affection! I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, and I am very attentive and patient when it comes to providing care that makes them feel comfortable and safe. I am excited to provide reliable and loving care for your pets and treat them as if they are my own! I am currently a college student taking courses online, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am generally available Monday through Friday from 9am-2pm, while my weekend availability will vary. However, I am happy to discuss scheduling further and will do my very best to accommodate your pet's needs! When caring for your pets, their comfort and safety is my top priorities. I will follow any specific instructions that you may have regarding walking or feeding schedules, as well as any other needs that your pet may have. I understand that each pet is different, so I will take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable while in my care. I will also treat your home to the utmost respect and ensure that it remains clean and safe for your pets. My goal is provide you with peace of mind while you are away and give your pets plenty of love, attention, and snuggles!
“Sara did a fantastic job with my pup! This was the first time that we have left Daisy alone with a dog sitter and they seemed to get along wonderfully. Sara was punctual when she came over to meet Daisy. She was also incredibly flexible and willing to help when our schedule needed to be adjusted. If you are nervous about leaving your pup with a dog sitter, Sara is your girl! She sent daily updates and let me know that if I wanted more or less contact from her/ updates during the stay, she was more than willing to comply. I felt very at ease during the entire stay!”
“Whitney was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were in a bind after our Divine blessing came into our lives, who we named Belle. We rescued her from a busy street dodging traffic. We had a planned trip shortly after finding her, but she was not yet eligible for boarding. To say that we were FORTUNATE to find a caring, compassionate and responsible housesitter for Belle (at the last minute, no less) in Whitney would be an understatement! We can't thank her enough, but we'll try. THANK YOU, Whitney!”
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.

As always Lindsay is great with our dog. She has lots of patience & love for animals. She watched our daughter's dog along with Beau for a family Christmas outing.

I am glad Beau got to see Lindsay again for Christmas !

FAQs for House Sitting - Plainfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plainfield on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,408 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Plainfield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Plainfield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
