About: I have four dogs of my own, so I’m pretty experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs They’re all well-trained, and I’ve learned how to handle different personalities and needs. I really love being around dogs and would be happy to take care of your pup like they’re my own I’m off Monday through Thursday, so I have a lot of free time and would love to spend it helping take care of someone’s pet. I’ve always loved being around animals, and I think it would be really nice to help out a pet owner who needs an extra hand. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, or just some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and care I have a cat and a dog, and they have a big backyard with plenty of food, fresh water, and comfortable beds. They’re free to come inside whenever they want, so they have plenty of space and freedom to feel comfortable.

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.

“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’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog owner with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs. I truly can’t imagine my life without them! ❤️ When your dog stays with me, I treat them like they are part of my own family. I have a wonderful family who absolutely loves animals, and I’ve always taught my two children the importance of loving, respecting, and caring for them. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pup to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. During the summer, they can enjoy our dog pool, and during the colder months, they have their own cozy space with a fireplace, comfortable couch, and TV. 🐶❤️ I also love keeping pet parents connected. I FaceTime several times throughout the stay so you can see your baby, check in, and have peace of mind while you’re away. My children and my dog are very accustomed to having other dogs in our home, and we make every effort to ensure each guest feels comfortable, safe, and loved. For boarding, I only book one dog at a time, allowing me to give your pup the individual attention and care they deserve. Dates marked unavailable are dates that have already been booked. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! I look forward to welcoming them into our home and giving them a safe, loving, and fun stay. 🐾❤️ I work from home so we have the whole day to play and have fun. They are welcome to my whole house . I have a ton of toys for them to play . I have a huge fence in the yard and a small senior dog who absolutely loves new Friends. We have a great relationship with all my clients.

“Words cannot express my gratitude for Erika not only taking care of my Mr. Chauncey but of my home as well. From our meet and greet all the way to the end of the contract, Erika kept in touch, took care of Mr. Chauncey’s feeding and litter box needs and also took the time to give him a little attention. As an added bonus, I came home to a clean and organized home which made coming back from vacation that much more glorious. I can’t wait to work with her again for all my future pet sitting needs and would recommend her ten times over!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I’m very reliable and my main goal is to make these fur babies comfortable while in my care! Since 8 years old I’ve had a love for animals when I got my first puppy for Christmas, and since then I’ve gained my trust around my peers, coworkers, family that I’m the best dog sitter/ walker there is. I work part time at an office so my schedule tends to be open. The office I am employed at is actually 5 minutes away from my house, so even when I’m at work I tend to come home for lunch breaks or any reason I need to go home. I have a fenced back yard with enough space for your pet to run around and get some exercise. Or if they just like being outside I also have a deck and we can just chill for a little until they want to come in!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Plainfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plainfield on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 24,658 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Plainfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Plainfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 87% 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 , 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.
