“Sarah and her husband were great! We got lots of pictures and they had no issues dealing with our two high energy corgis. Will definitely book again with Sarah when we need a sitter!”
“Savanna is the best kitty sitter we could ask for! She is very attentive to our needs and works to make sure our old and finicky cat is loved and well cared for. She is such a blessing to us! We absolutely recommend her to anyone - 10/10.”
“Allyson is an excellent dog sitter! She’s been wonderful with my YorkiePoo, Jamaica, while I work from home. She keeps him active and entertained throughout their time together, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys her company. Jamaica always seems happy and well-exercised after their walks. I really appreciate how engaged and attentive she is with him. Highly recommend Allyson if you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Charlene was absolutely phenomenal. Very sweet and personable- took care of our pups wonderfully and within a couple days notice! Definitely will be reaching out to her for our future sittings! Thank you again Charlene!”
About: With over 15 years of experience as a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I offer great care, compassion, and commitment to pets' well-being and happiness. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate more time investing into your fur babies needs. As a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter, I ensure pets feel safe and loved in both my home and yours, providing personalized care, attention, and a secure environment.
“Allison cared for our dog while we were on vacation. Our dog can be very nervous around new people, but Allison was extremely patient, and kept us in the loop with how everything went. We would highly recommend Allison!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and grew up around dogs and had many of my own! I am an animal lover and I enjoy taking care of them as it is therapeutic to me. I currently work as an instructional assistant at a school where I work with children who have social and emotional disabilities. I love my job, however, I would love to be able to make this my full time job so I can be home with the dogs all day and be able to homeschool my daughter. If I get enough clientele, I will be able to have even more availability! I can care for your pet just how you would in your home! I will treat your pup like a member of my family and will make sure they are well taken care of.
“Norris communicated well, took care of my animals. Played with them, and showed attention. Made sure all of their needs were taken care of. Norris came two times a day, close to the time I scheduled.”
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
“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: I’ve been around animals my entire life — my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I am available most of the week. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“Did an excellent job checking in on our two cats and giving medicine. He noticed my aquarium was low and filled it for me. I really appreciate his photos and attentiveness.”
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me to take care of their pets every since I can remember, my most unique pet being a pot belly pig. I have trained 3 puppies and taken care of a senior dog over the last three years. I work from home four days a week and the one day that I go in to the office is only for four hours. While I am home your pet will be left out with me and if they need crated while I am gone I have one that can be provided. They have full access to the home, including the couch and bed. I live in a condo with a small yard. I have a 2 year old treeing walker coonhound for them to socialize with. We go on frequent walks in the neighborhood to stretch our legs and to the park.
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”

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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainfield is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 2,429 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainfield. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
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.
