“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.”
“Allison was great with my 2 pugs. She went above and beyond what I expected. My go loved her. She watered plants, filled Hummingbird feeders and dispensed medicine to one of the girls. She left my house clean and was a joy to work with”
“Patrick is our go to sitter by now, and he always proves the best sitter for my cats! I feel so comfortable with my cats in his care and they adore him. It’s amazing to know how much he cares about them and their funny personalities. He follows every instruction perfectly, and cares for them like they were his own. Clear communication, happy cats, and a stress free trip… who could ask for anything more? I am so thankful every time that we found Patrick- he is a gem!”
“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!”
“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 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’ve owned dogs my whole life and have taken care of all different kinds of dogs. My grandfather trained police dogs so I am used to taking care of all style of dogs. I’m currently on working on the side so I have a very free schedule to offer services at all times. I’m home most of the day and I can choose my own schedule to work around providing pet care. My wife and I live in a gated community that is very dog friendly. There is a dog park in the middle of the complex. We have a very friendly corgi for your fur babies to play with. We allow dogs on the furniture and to sleep wherever they want to.
About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs
“I cannot express how much I appreciated the service. Above and beyond in all respects. Pretty last minute booking, very quick to respond. So sweet and kind. Top notch communication and sent all kinds of pictures. Even swept up the litter and did other extras that were absolutely more than was needed. So very appreciative. Absolutely the best pet sitter experience! Thank you so much for your time and effort. You're amazing!”
“Sara is wonderful! During her stay at our house, she took excellent care of our 3 dogs and our home. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that she had everything covered. We are ao thankful for her!”
About: I took care of my childhood dog for over 10 years, walking, feeding, playing, and bathing. I love all kinds of dogs, especially the little weirdos and lazy ones! I've had the opportunity to tag along with my older sister when she would cat-sit. Cats tend to love me (sometimes because cats are cool like that) even when they're not usually cuddly, and I love them even more! I'm currently a full-time college student, so evenings on weekdays, except for Fridays; then I'm free all day! Of course, I'm also free on the weekends whenever! I can absolutely crate and walk dogs, scoop litter boxes, provide any comfort/support required for anxious animals according to your instructions, feeding with clear instructions (I know sometimes they have sensitive stomachs, allergies, or strict regimens).
“Faith is a person to recommend House super clean... dogs really happy When you text Faith she answers quickly She made us a little surprise after our long trip... she prepared us cookies... so good Diane”
“This is the second time we’ve had Brittany stay at our house to watch our dogs and she did amazing. Very communicative and sent pictures the whole time. Would recommend to anyone traveling needing a house/pet sitter!”
“I always get nervous leaving my pets when I go out of town, but I felt so much better with Clarissa at my house! She did a great job giving me lots of updates and making sure they had lots of company while I was gone. I’d definitely book her again.”
“Gigi was so kind and our sweet Daisy loved her! Gigi arrived on time and stayed all day with our 8 week old puppy. She updated us throughout the stay with adorable photos. We absolutely will stay in touch with Gigi for future visits! Thank you so much! 🥰”
“Allison is a total rockstar! She watched our four (yes, four) dogs and somehow managed to keep up with their chaos better than we do ourselves. She sent us tons of videos and updates, and we could tell the pups were having the time of their lives—all the playtime & snuggles. Honestly, we think they were a little disappointed when we came home instead of her staying forever. On top of that, we had a last-minute change in houses and she rolled with it like it was no big deal. Super chill, super reliable, and clearly a dog whisperer. We couldn’t be happier and would 1000% book her again (if our dogs don’t convince her to adopt them first)!”
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.
“Cali did an amazing job with our (high-maintenanced) shiba inu! She was very communicative throughout the entire time she was house sitting for us, which made it easier to be away from our sweet pup knowing she was in good hands! We even came home to a very clean house! She will definitely be the first person we call next time we need a sitter!”
“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”

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. Pippa is very emotional but they did excellently together. Our Beau is getting on in years so we aren't traveling as he is in his senior years we don't like to leave him! I am glad Beau got to see Lindsay again for Christmas !

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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.
