Elaine and I did a meet and greet today with my miniature dachshund Casey. Casey warmed up to her immediately and felt very safe with her from the get go! It's easy to tell that Elaine is a true pet lover and we look forward to future visits for walks and pet sitting! This is my first time using the Rover app, and meeting Elaine made me so happy I did!

I cannot recommend Diana enough! She took such incredible care of our pup, Moose, while we were away. We received regular updates & adorable photos! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated, Diana is everything you’d hope for in a sitter. We’re beyond grateful and will 100% be booking again!

About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I’ve helped walk friends’ dogs, played with them, and assisted with their care when needed. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or extra affection, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and always follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! Dog walking fits easily into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability during the early mornings, evenings, and some mid-day hours depending on the day, which allows me to consistently take on walks. I’ve helped walk dogs for friends and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable building this into my schedule regularly. I make sure to plan ahead and keep commitments organized so each dog gets reliable, attentive care and a consistent walking routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. For dog walking, I focus on giving each dog a safe and enjoyable walk based on their energy level and personality—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things clean, and make sure pets are safe and happy at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.

I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. I had a miniature poodle for many years and then I had a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore animals and treat every fur friend like they’re my own. While I do work full time, my job is 1 mile from my home and I come home for lunch during the day and I’m home by 3:30 so pet sitting and boarding works well for my schedule. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of pet beds. I also have deck with a gate and dog bed in case they just want some fresh air.

About: I've had pets my entire life! Have my own golden lab mix whose a retired service dog now have fostered many pets via the Seattle Animal Shelter program - week old puppies to 90+ pound dogs! I am currently working in office, traditional 9-5, but I am always happy to help on the weekends at anytime and during the week anytime before or after then! I’ve stayed at many clients' homes before and love to spend time with all pets! I think it’s amazing to keep pets in their safe environments and give them all the love. I personally like to be mindful of their routines, their unique personalities and quirks, and overall cater to them.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for 4 years, so I know how much love, patience, and attention dogs need. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, so I’m comfortable using Spanish commands if that’s what your dog is used to. I’ll always treat your pet like my own. I currently have availability Friday through Monday from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM and 5:00 PM–12:00 AM. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and love while staying on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I always respect your home and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

Kristina is always reliable and wonderful with my cat. Amelia just loves her and comes running for pets when she arrives! This time Kristina also had to handle a couple of unexpected challenges when my wifi went down while I was out of town and I couldn’t access smart devices, and much worse when my door lock broke (no fault of hers—it was very old) and she couldn’t get in. She was calm, communicative, and willing to do whatever necessary to ensure Amelia was cared for (including an unplanned visit and working around locksmith). Such a weight off my mind knowing Kristina is taking such good care of things when I’m not at home.

Cassidy was a wonderful cat sitter! She was incredibly attentive and caring with our cats, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. She played with them frequently and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well cared for while we were away. We especially appreciated how communicative Cassidy was throughout our trip. She sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. She was always responsive, helpful, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. We would love to have Cassidy watch our cats again in the future!

Lisa went out of her way to care for my pets. She braved the snowstorm of 2026 to make her appointments. She spent extra time with the dog, changed the cat litter, and cleaned the rabbit cage. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet nanny.

Cait is all that we could have asked for in a cat sitters. Patient , loving and very responsible she takes the time and effort to bond with our cat . She plays with kiki showers her with affection on every visit. Having her around gives us immense peace of mind whenever we are away. We have had her take care of kiki multiple times and will want to have her to sit for us as long as she is available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Plainfield on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 11,553 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
