“Deborah was wonderful! She was exactly on time and communicated with me throughout. She took such great care of our 11 week old puppy and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her.”
“Sydney did an outstanding job with our 4 kitties. She not only managed my complex instructions but also helped befriend our nervous cat who is afraid of strangers. After a couple of days all the kitties were good with their new routine.”
About: I work remotely, which means I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with pets while caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I've been a dog and cat owner since 2009, and while my two dogs sadly passed away a few years ago, that experience taught me a lot about routines, personalities, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I know many pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible, whether that's walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I'm used to everything from energetic zoomies to picky eaters to pets with very specific walk preferences, and I do my best to meet each pet where they are. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you're never left wondering how things are going and can relax knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away. Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medication, or simply spending quality time together. Because I work remotely, most pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, which can be especially helpful for dogs who experience separation anxiety or just enjoy having company around. I do my best to keep pets' routines as consistent as possible, since many dogs are most comfortable when their day feels familiar and predictable. Whether it's sticking to their normal walking schedule, feeding times, favorite activities, or just providing companionship, my goal is to help them feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I provide pet care in your pet's home, where many dogs and cats feel most comfortable and secure. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual schedules for walks, meals, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at ease. I make sure pets receive plenty of one-on-one attention, companionship, and care while you're away, so they're not just being watched, they're being cared for. If I'm house sitting, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on the home. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you always know how things are going. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate midday breaks, overnight stays, and longer care periods. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in the place they know best. I might use pictures of pets in my care for social media and marketing purposes; I will never disclose private information or showcase a home. If you have questions about this, please feel free to ask!
“Liz is great with our pup. Very respectful of all our requests, super flexible, takes great care of her, and is very attentive to her and goes above and beyond regularly! We really appreciate it!”
“Elise was wonderful and did everything I asked. More importantly, my two cats were very happy with her—they played with her and even let her rub their bellies. I know they’ll be thrilled to have Elise care for them again!”
About: I have taken care of and walked dogs professionally for 6 years while also owning 4 corgis and a terrier over the span 26 years I am a working professional musician with lots of free time in the morning hours; while also having a flexible schedule that can fit in! I take my dogs on plenty of walks with balanced play time and measured meals. Matching the needs of each dog is my main priority.
About: I have had animals lots of animals; from dogs and cats to gerbils and horses. I am a huge animal lover, and I currently have a very unique cat who I love very much. I know when I have a pet sitter, I want to check in and make sure he is being well taken care of and loved so I want to do the same for you and your pet! During the week, I work a full-time job, but work remote most days, so my schedule is flexible. On the weekends, I am completely free. I have experience with pets who need medications, pets who are trouble makers, and pets with unique needs. I will ensure your pet is in a safe and happy environment.
“Kelsey rules! She is always on time and a great communicator. Our German Shepherd loves her and she makes the most out of her stop in visits with plenty of play and potty breaks. Will continue to book as her and Forrest are available!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of family cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve been a busy pet parent wishing I could spend more time with my animals during my long days at work. Now that I’m self employed and work from home, I’m able to do that with my dogs and it has been wonderful. I’m looking to help other busy pet parents looking to provide the same for their fur babies when they can’t go it themselves. I’m self employed and able to accommodate a wide range of times during the week. I travel a lot on weekends, but I’m able to do any times on weekends I’m home. I’m able to do drop in visits and dog walks, but I require a meet with your dog before I drop in or walk them. For both of our sakes I’d like the dog to be familiar with me and excited for the visit rather than anxious about an unknown intruder.
“Cassandra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! She followed all instructions and went above and beyond for the upkeep of the apartment. From the photos Cassandra sent, it seemed like my cat had a good time with her and I can tell she loves cats. I would definitely recommend Cassandra for your cat sitting needs:)”
“Genevieve was very prompt in her response and had great communication! My dogs were taken care of and I had no messes to clean up when I came home, which is always a plus! Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Abby is the absolute best! My puppy adores her and she’s great with response time! I can honestly say I fully trust her with my pup and I am so thankful. Thank you, Abby!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover and a proud owner to a 9-year old dog, I know what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, providing focused, one-on-one attention to your furry family members within their familiar home environment. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm here to adapt to what makes them feel most secure and comfortable. I have house-sat and dog-sat multiple times for friends in the past. For walks, I prioritize safety, fresh air, and plenty of sniffing for important stimulation, and mindful of weather conditions like hot pavement, water availability, and leash safety. I use a 4 ft leash with a lead handle with my dog. For drop-ins, I prioritize feeding (if necessary), fresh water, plenty of mental stimulation, playtime, and affection. I'm also happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail and watering plants (I have a 6 ft Monstera). Caring for my large dog has required patience, observance, and consistency. Peace of mind for your pets is important, you can expect frequent photos and quick responses during each visit. I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pups. My schedule will be updated on a regular basis to match your needs. I approach slowly and accordingly to the pet's responsiveness and behavior, follow house rules, and use familiar items to keep pets feeling safe and comfortable. Close and lock doors, windows, and gates upon departure to ensure the pet's safety.
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages. Walking, bathing (chowhound), feeding, belly rubs and dog parks are all activities I enjoy sharing time with dogs. I'm available most weekdays and weekends for walks or care. As a recent empty nester my availability has opened up. Reach out for more detail. I have a fenced yard and sidewalk friendly neighborhood for walks. Our 5 yr old labrahound is always eager to sniff and play with other dogs, too.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and you will often find me loving on the dog at gatherings that include a pup. I tend to be the type of person that animals and children gravitate towards! I grew up with a dog that I certainly considered to be my baby, as I had him for 17 years, and definitely treat other dogs with as much love and respect as I treated him. I would love to care for your dog and give them the love they need while you are away. I now have a small dog of my own (my child!), so I do prefer that your dog(s) is vaccinated and good with other puppies/dogs. I want this to be the best and most fun experience for both pups and myself! Currently, I work remote so I am home most of the day during the workday (which is much preferred for my dog!). I am also available for quick visits to your home in the morning, a quick visit throughout the day if needed, and then after work. I could spend more time with your pup(s) as needed on weekends that I am available. Given that I work from home, I am there more often than not to provide the most attention for your furbaby! This would certainly involve loving on your pet, of course feeding and giving them water, playtime, short walks, etc. I treat all pets as if they were my own!
“Kaitlin goes above and beyond to take care of our pets. She is extremely communicative and trustworthy, and she does an amazing job. We feel so comfortable having her come take care of our pets for us while we are away and she makes the process so smooth and easy. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my seven -year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home the majority of the time to care for your pet. I work from home three out of five days a week, and I am available on weekends. I am in the office two days per week, However, I drive home on my lunch hour to care for our new friends. I will provide your pet with a quiet, safe environment. If you are boarding your pet with me, I will ensure they receive care tailored to their unique needs and personality

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield Township
Maia went above and beyond what we asked and took wonderful care of our kitty. We really appreciated her detailed updates, including exactly what she did and how much our kitty ate, it was clear she genuinely cared about our kitty. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Jenny has been very helpful with our babies. They all seem happy and relaxed while she is around and if there is an accident Jenny is quick to clean up and the pictures from each visit show she is caring and the pups enjoy the time spent with her. Will be using Jenny for future visits.
Breean was absolutely amazing with Betty. From the moment we connected, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs, and that care showed in every detail. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and thoughtful, making sure Betty felt safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We received great updates and could tell Betty was comfortable and thriving in her care. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Betty was with someone who truly treats dogs like family. We would 100% trust Breean again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving sitter.
Taylor was exactly what I was looking for in a cat sitter. Communicative and caring in what she does. As a first time rover user, Taylor put me at ease and updated me daily on how my cat was doing. She is new to a medicine and Taylor did a great job ensuring she took her pill daily. I cant recommend her enough to watch your pets!
Jennifer was so awesome! She agreed to watch PK last minute and was so patient and nice while I figured out scheduling. She sent me several photos and updates each time she visited and was very accommodating to my separation anxiety. Jennifer is the best and will def be using her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainfield Township is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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 1,508 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainfield Township. 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.

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.
