“Samantha is the best!! I was in a tight spot on finding a sitter and reached out to her and she got back right away and saved me. Mav had the best time with her, he’s always doing his little wiggle dance when she walks through the door. I recommend her 100%, you won’t regret it.”
“Sarah was great and my kitty was very well looked after! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely book her again. I know my cat appreciated the company 😊”
“Sammy is an awesome person to have care for our dogs. She’s attentive to the dog’s needs, responds quickly to any questions I have and a joy to work with. Thank you Sammy! I feel lucky we found you.”
“Caitlin was a wonderful caretaker for our bunny! I really appreciated how responsive Caitlin was to all of my messages. Caitlin was also very punctual for all of her visits and took great care of our bun. I look forward to having Caitlin visit Pee Wee again in the future!”
“Emily is exactly what I want a pet sitter to be. She asked questions, followed instructions, and gave our boys comfort, along with the necessities, while we were gone. Takes an extra worry off when traveling to know our furry family is safe and loved. Highly recommend. Thanks Emily!”
“Shay took great care of our kitties! She was very responsive and sent lots of fun photos & updates. Our very shy cat even felt comfortable enough to come say hi a few times, which was amazing!”
“Thanks Hannah for taking such good care of our quirky cat, Remy, in spite of the challenging winter break weather!! You made our first experience with ROVER a very positive one. Much appreciated!!”
“Julia is wonderful! She has been extremely thoughtful to our cat’s particular personality, habits, and behaviors as well as respectful to our household preferences on multiple occasions while we were away from home. She’s extremely responsive and even stepped up last minute after a death in the family that necessitated unexpected travel. She’s always ensured our cat is well cared for and extremely happy when we return home. I highly recommend her!”
“We came to vacation in Nags Head and needed a sitter for our young (and recently adopted) dog while we went to dinner. Meagan did a great job keeping her calm, took her out a few times and got her to eat (which we had also been struggling with). Would book again!”
“Armani was perfect! Easy going, asked a lot of questions, attentive and enjoyed the dog energy! She was flexible with my request for timing and last minute request. I am hoping to have her back here soon to hang out again!”
About: I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience including but not limited to, feeding, daily exercise, oral medication administration, foster dog, and senior dog experience. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am available most weekends for all your furry friends needs. I typically request a meet and greet so that I can see your pups routine first hand and ensure that we are a great match :)
“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”
“This was our first experience using Rover in Florida and Katie did a great job taking care of our cat Cami. She kept us informed with pictures and put our mind at ease. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Cyan was an amazing sitter. She came by our house before we scheduled her to meet our pup. Was very responsive and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Megan was a great dog sitter. She was able to do drop-ins with only two days notice. She arranged her visits for three dogs staying at my house. She seemed to get along well with our dogs and got them outside and fed. I’d recommend Megan to other pet owners.”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. I got my first family dog when I was 7 and my second dog at 13, giving me experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after neighbors' dogs, cared for a friend's dog for over a week while they were on vacation, and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and giving plenty of attention and love to pets. I've also had a cat since I was young and have cared for my neighbor's cats, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm home and very available throughout the summer, so your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work part-time only 2–3 days a week for a few hours at a time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and daycare. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard for supervised play and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new friends! I have over 11 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats and will follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
