“Sarah was amazing and very helpful and patient when a few little things did not go as planned. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! Millie loved having her! We are so grateful for such a wonderful experience!”

“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’ve had four rescues in the last 20 plus years from young to senior with very different personalities. I walk, play, feed, snuggle and love 💕 I work a full time office job with a hybrid schedule. I’m able to provide care before/after work and lunches and typically free all times during the weekend. I follow the pet parents instructions, ensure the pet has water, walked or played with or snuggled for the appropriate time, send pics, lock up
“Jaclyn is a wonderful person with a great personality and true love and respect for the care of pets. She is the first sitter we have used and if she's not available next time, will be hard to top! We highly recommend and appreciate Jaclyn!”

“Mercedes did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. She was able to accommodate the times we needed her to come to the house, which was so helpful. I would book with Mercedes again!”

About: I've taken care of cats/dogs/guinea pigs of my own over the years since I was young. Friends trust me to watch their fur babies. I'm currently available anytime to care for your fur babies. I've been an Executive for 21 years with an advanced degree and am taking a break from the workforce to reset, raise my daughter, and breathe. I will happily take care of your fur babies in their domain that they know. I will also offer cleaning, laundry, dish washing services or organization services if desired. I will keep your home tidy.
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.
About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).

About: I am third year medical student, and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds. Your dog will be treated like family if he or she is with me. I am an avid runner, and I am happy to take your dog for a run, to the beach, to play frisbee or sit home with your dog with lots of cuddles. Dogs are always welcome and in fact encouraged to join me on the couch or the bed. If you wish, I will give your dogs lots of treats, but only with your permission :). I have cared for numerous dogs, including disabled dogs,- one had back injury that prevented her from jumping and climbing and another was blind and deaf. The dog in my profile picture is my college's emotional support dog. I took her for near daily walks and around campus to visit students and attend campus events. I am happy to take your dog out in the community, and show it off proudly, treating him/her as if he/she is my own dog. I have a dog loving roommate and lots of dog loving friends, meaning there will be no shortage of cuddles for your "fur-baby"
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
About: I have had a passion and strong love for all dogs since I was very young. I have grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes and I previously worked in a doggy daycare facility that relied on creating a safe environment for pups to exercise, play, and feel loved. My priority is creating levels of trust and providing your pet with the utmost affection and attention while they are under my care. I currently have full time flexibility after moving back home from attending school out in Colorado. I am now staying with my parents and my dog Nancy before heading down to Alabama :) I unfortunately cannot provide a fenced in yard, but I live an active lifestyle and will happily go on walks, prioritize being outside, and give frequent potty breaks. In addition, my family adores all dogs and breeds as well - a huge plus! Since leaving Colorado with my own dog, Nancy, we have been looking for ways she can make new friends too! With that being said, I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to pet sit, dog-walk, or drop-in for you! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet which is why I want to provide happiness, care and comfort. This is a passion I genuinely love and enjoy so feel free to reach out before hand! Since graduating college, I have a completely wide open schedule before I move again, so your dog will have my undivided attention while in my care. I am prepared to follow any house rules/daily routines such as crating overnight or during the day, or ensuring any training patterns or techniques you may have, etc. I want your dog to feel as if they are at home with me!
“Patrick is amazing. He communicates so well and spent extra time making sure our senior pitbull is as comfortable with him before his visit. It’s so wonderful knowing we have a reliable person to care for our dog while we’re away!”

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
About: As long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for all animals. Growing up and still to this day I have always brought stray animals home to love on and care for. I recently started promoting myself as a pet sitter/dog walker and now I have a few clients that have hired me. My availability is very flexible. I am looking for long-term set schedules but I am willing and able to do short-term as well if need be. I have a house which is in a subdivision which makes it nice for long walks. We also have a fenced in backyard for a running around.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life, including my own dog, family dogs and cats, and pets belonging to neighbors. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own household, with plenty of love, attention, patience, and respect for their individual personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and following detailed instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom routines, and other special needs. I also have experience providing additional care, including administering both liquid and tablet medications. I know that every pet is different, so I’m happy to learn their routine, favorite activities, little quirks, and what helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is not only to make your pet feel loved and cared for, but also to help you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially with my weekends generally open and flexible. I’ll also be transitioning to a hybrid work schedule soon, giving me additional weekday availability. I’m happy to coordinate my schedule whenever possible to provide reliable care, visits, walks, and companionship when your pets need it most. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and home environment so they can feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and will carefully follow instructions for walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and other needs. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while keeping their routine familiar and their home respected.

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.

Pet 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!!!

- 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 .
