“Jamie is awesome! She sends pics, writes notes, and updates me on how Kenji is doing. She goes above and beyond in taking care of our dog. We travel a lot and it’s nice to know our dog is in very good hands.”
“Camila is great! She came to my apartment to meet them the day before which I think helped a lot. She is gentle and patient and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. I really appreciate the pictures and videos she sent me and I could tell my cats really liked her :)”
“Aurora, was willing to come the night before and meet our pups. They loved her the minute she got here. She did a 30 min drop in visit while at the rv show. She walked them, gave them water and played with them. This is our 1st time with Rover and with Aurora. Everything was great from start to finish! Aurora did a fantastic job and we couldn't be happier! Pups were happy and very content when we got back.”
About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.
About: I grew up with pets, sit for friends & fam, and volunteered & fostered at a rescue shelter in Chicago. Love to love on friends and family pets; I'm flexible and kind. I have a 6 year old rescue and 2 year old puppy. Allabamma's is a catahoula mix (the rescue).) Archee; the puppy, is an active guy! At this time, I’m only doing drop ins and walks; maybe a short overnight stay I am open to in your home w/ a meet up first. We can chat about it. Hope to hear from you soon! I work 8:30-5:30 M-F, every other Sat 10-4 and free after church on Sunday. If you request walks/drop ins, I can do anything before 8 a.m., walk on my lunch hour if you're close to me in Carlisle, and after 5:30 until about 10pm. I'm in an apartment, but we have an area for potty and the community is super pet friendly and nice for walking around. I'm in a two-bedroom and it's spacious, lots of light. (Not taking pets in our home just yet as of Oct 2026)
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with neighbors and friends who have trusted me to pet sit for their beloved pets. Whether it’s providing daily walks, administering medication, or just offering some love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in reliable hands. I am currently a full time student and working a part time job but your pets will always come first! Their safety and comfort will be my top priority while with them. Since I have class I will typically be unavailable in the late mornings, but early mornings and afternoon/evenings I will be completely available. I take the safety and well-being of your pets seriously, and I ensure that they are always in a secure environment while in the comfort of their own home. I stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication, to minimize stress and maintain a sense of normalcy. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. From securely closing doors and windows to keeping dangerous items out of reach, I’m committed to preventing any accidents or escapes. You can trust me to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Anna was a wonderful gift to caring for my senior dog. She came over on an additional day, just to learn about all of the complexities involved. She corresponded well with me while I was on the other side of the country. It helped keep my anxiety over my beloved pet way down! Anna is professional and detail oriented, and I would gladly hire her again.”
About: I’m one of the only people that could take care of my one friends dog because it was very mean. I stay at peoples house to watch their pets or just stop in throughout the day. I currently work full time, I go before work and then after work. If I’m not staying the night I go again before bed time. If I’m staying I go after work and then either get dinner or make dinner then stay for the night. When I’m taking care of others pets I do as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy, healthy, eating, drinking and doing their business. If something seems off I will inform the client to make sure it is normal for them. I want the clients to feel comfortable and sure their pets are being cared for while they are away.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, horses and more through pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering as an Animal Therapy Assistant. I’ve worked with a variety of pets, maintained regular communication with owners, and always make sure animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My experience as a nanny, camp coach, and small business owner has strengthened my responsibility, communication, and ability to handle different situations with confidence. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and love I would give my own. I’m a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I occasionally babysit and pet sit, but I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight care. I also care for my own dog, Lola, every day, so I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to help them feel secure while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and updates so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own dog, Lola.

About: I’ve been pet sitting/farm sitting on a part-time basis for the last five years. This has now become full-time for me, and I really enjoy working with different pets of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. I also am skilled in bathing, cleaning ears, and clipping nails for dogs and cats. Taking care of your pets is my full-time passion. This gives me all the time and the ability to provide individualized care to all animals in the household. I will take care of your pets in your home according to your preferences, while always respecting your personal space and the well-being of your furry companions.
About: I have had 8 years of experience dog sitting, hosting, walking and staying at others homes for dog sitting. I love dogs and as I think cats are cute, I am allergic and unfortunately cannot watch them. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I love boys or girls! I enjoy going on car rides and checking out new areas for the pups to take a walk. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a pittie/lab mix and his name is Bentley. He loves to cuddle, play with other dogs, and is sweet as can be! I currently work full time hybrid. I work from home tuesdays and Friday’s and off on weekends. These are the best days for me to have a dog with me since I’m home. I work a 8-4 job. I care for them by spending time, making sure they are fed, walked, and loved on. I have my dog who enjoys chilling or playing with the dogs depending on what the other dog prefers. Pet care fits with my routine as I am hybrid for work and only live 10 mins away from my job. It is easy for me to run home over lunch to check on the dog I’m watching or if close by take out. I make time to spend with the dog I am watching and that they feel comfortable in my home. While dogs are in my home, I treat them like my own. They are able to sleep with me, be on furniture, etc. I take them for walks to get exercise. With parent permission I make ice cream treats (blueberries & Greek yogurt frozen together) and give them to the dog. I make sure they feel comfortable, are fed and have plenty of water. If a parent would like me to administer meds or give a bath, I am happy to do so!
About: Ever since I was a very little girl, animals have been the object of my attention. My parents still love to tell stories about how as soon as I could walk, as little as 2, I would walk into pet shops and ask to hold snakes and other “scary” animals. I love them all and have had the luxury of either owning or taking care of every kind of pet. I truly mean every— dogs, cats, fish, turtles, lizards, birds (ducks, rescues, etc), tarantulas, frogs, newts, axolotls, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, moles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and I’m sure I’m missing some. I’ve also taken care of an extensive array of bugs. Just ask! While I mainly and primarily care for furry friends— I have lots of experience with other pets. :^) I’m currently only working with Rover and with Wag Caregiver, so I am always at home! I spend all of my time at home with other’s people pets. I am almost exclusively at home. I leave to go to the store and run errands, but otherwise, I’m a complete home body. I have a fenced in yard, paired with a very safe and pet friendly neighborhood to walk your dogs. Aside from that, my home is perfectly equipped for your furry (or maybe not so furry!) companions. I work from home as a stay at home parent, so I am always with your loved one(s) and they have my undivided attention and love!
About: Dogs are my absolute passion. I grew up in New York and later moved to Puerto Rico, where I actually ran my own neighborhood animal rescue from ages 8 to 11. Since moving to North Carolina and South Carolina, I have continued working with non-profits and animal rescues. I have hands-on experience with dogs of every size, from tiny puppies to gentle giants, and I want to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet first. I am home throughout the day to provide frequent potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I am always available for structured playtime, and I customize my daily routine to match whatever schedule your pup is used to at home. We live in a clean, smoke-free apartment with my sweet, small Shih Tzu who loves making new friends! Because my young brother lives with us, safety is our top priority. My mom and I work as a team to closely supervise all pet interactions at all times. Your pet is welcome on our furniture and bed, and we take regular leashed walks around the neighborhood for plenty of exercise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainfield is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 981 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:
- 90% 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.
