“Monica is such a great dog sitter. Our boy Louie loves to stay with her and always is happy and content in her home. She even puts up with his vocal ways!! Lol I thank god for Monica, she makes being away from my dog baby a lot easier. I would recommend her to anyone that wants the dog well cared for and loved!!!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“I must say I was def scared as Dakota has never been with anyone else. Ms. Margarita made not only me feel confident but my sons whom both were so happy that she was in good hands . I will definitely book again even for a day just so Dakota can keep in touch !”
“Jessica’s the best there is. I can tell she treats all dogs as if they were her own. Harper gets excited as we pull up to her neighborhood. Jessica updates us frequently with pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Our 8year old doggy had her first visit here and jumped out and ran to the door excitedly as if she came everyday. Seuron and DK took Lulu out for walks and showered her with love. They are the nicest couple! We got lots of updates and we were at ease immediately. Lulu settled in right away. We highly recommend Seuron and DK! We plan to be repeat clients.”
“Maureen always takes such wonderful care of our fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie feels loved and happy. We’re so grateful for her kindness.”
“Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!”
“Alex and her family were amazing with our Pup. She watched him for 1 week. He received lots of attention and love! He returned happy. She made us feel comfortable leaving our pup! We will definitely use her again! Thank you!”
“Vanessa was great! Charlie came home exhausted and sad to leave her house. She made him feel right at home with her dog and family. They have a great fenced backyard that he enjoyed running around in. We will be sure to ask Vanessa to watch Charlie again when we are out of town!”
“Melodie is wonderful. She really got to know my dog and is great with grouping together similar temperment dogs at the same time. My dog was spoiled with play, walks, treats and outdoor deck/yard time. I received lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend her for anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup when traveling out of town!”
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.
“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“Isbath is 100% the best dog sitter we’ve ever experienced! We left our 1.5 year old pit mix Brunson with her for a full week, and he had a great experience. Isbath kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the week, and was always quick to respond. Brunson had so much fun with playing with her dogs, and he came home with so much energy we could tell he enjoyed his visit! Thank you again Isbath, we will definitely book with you again in the future!”
“Raheem was great. My dog’s breed is known to be incredibly stubborn, but that proved to not be an issue. Felt very confident that my boy was under good care as I got regular updates. Very chill experience and had absolutely no worries while I was across the country.”
“Elizabeth is a very kind and thoughtful caregiver and our puppy had a great time hanging with the other dogs under her care. She is very responsive and made us feel at ease as our puppy is only 6 months old. Our travel flights shifted a bit and she was very flexible and accomodating to help us manage. Thanks Elizabeth!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Plainfield is $60

I highly recommend Raheem as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. He sends pictures and videos of Mabel throughout the stay keeping us informed. He was so accommodating on the last stay considering our flight got delayed twice, uber took a while to pick us up at the airport. We finally picked up Mabel much later than scheduled and he was so understanding and professional.
A huge thank you to Isbath for coming to our rescue at the last minute! While I was in New Jersey for my niece’s graduation, Pepper started her first heat cycle, which meant she couldn’t stay with my sister’s male dog. Isbath stepped in on short notice and took amazing care of Pepper for three nights. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and I could tell Pepper felt safe and comfortable with her. One of the videos she sent showed Pepper following her around the house—something Pepper only does when she trusts someone. Thank you, Isbath, for treating Pepper like family! ❤️🐾
Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.
Highly recommend. Melodie was amazing!! Polite and very welcoming. This was my 1st time leaving my dog an I was nervous but she kept me updated and sent me pictures it really eased my mind . My dog was super happy and comfortable being there with all the walks and play dates I would totally book with her again. Very pleased with the whole experience.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 13,163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Plainfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Plainfield sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Plainfield landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Plainfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Plainfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Plainfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
