About: Hi, I'm Jill! Dogs have been part of my life since I can remember. I've spent years caring for and connecting with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family often call me the "dog whisperer" because I seem to naturally build trust with dogs, whether they're shy, anxious, energetic, independent, or just need a little extra patience. I also have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand their unique needs, routines, and comfort requirements. Your pup will be welcomed into a loving home with Sunny, my friendly chocolate Lab, a large-fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of supervised playtime and attention throughout the day. There is also optional swimming in the river behind my home. As a full-time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule, I'm home or nearby most of the time, so your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I believe every dog is an individual. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax in a calm environment, I'll take the time to learn their personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. My home is where dogs aren't just watched—they're welcomed, understood, and loved. 🐾 I am a fully time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule. I spend much of my day working from home or close by, which means your dog won't be left along for long periods. I have a fenced-in back yard and one very friendly female Chocolate Lab named Sunny who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs sleep in my room in a crate or on the floor at night

“Kierra is AMAZING. We asked Kierra to check in on our pup numerous times over our wedding weekend and she ensured that blue was cared-for and safe. Our dog can be very protective/guarded at times, but Kierra was very patient and worked so well with him. We will certainly hire her again! 110% recommend :)”

About: As a young female I have cared for many family pets, so I’ve experienced every stage from puppies to seniors. I provide reliable, structured care whether it’s keeping dogs active with frequent neighborhood walks, taking a nap with them, or just coming to check up on your furbaby if that’s all you need! I currently work about 15 hours a week so I should have plenty of time to give your dog the care he or she needs! I don’t mind sitting during the day or night whatever would make you know your pet is safe. Whether in your home or mine, I like to maintain constant supervision and ensure all dogs will be okay. I use sturdy leashes for every walk and stay highly alert to our surroundings to avoid any high stress interactions with other animals or people for those sensitive dogs. I also like to make sure your animal eats and feel comfortable enough to make sure they get the proper nutrition.

“Anna was absolutely wonderful with my pets! I have a unique crew—including two pet frogs and my cat Kirby, who requires medication—and Anna was incredibly kind, attentive, and detailed in following all of their specific care routines. It is such a relief to find a sitter who is completely comfortable and dependable with unique pet needs. I highly recommend her!”

About: Lots of experience caring for my own dog as well as the pets of my friends and family. I am familiar with senior dogs and diabetic dogs specifically strict feeding, medication, and exercise routines. I am currently taking college courses online which leaves me with a flexible and accommodating schedule to provide the best care for your special little one. I will take your dog out on a leash as often as they need as well provide walks to the dog park where they can get off leash exercise. There are currently no other pets in the home so lots of attention for your pup or a good place for dogs who like their space.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 7 years now, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pups—different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a 6-year-old dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekends. Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need! I primarily care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space and stick to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also respect your home and keep everything just as you left it. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets and small pets. Aggressive, anxious, timid, reactive, and generally difficult pets are my specialty. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.

About: I have owned and taken care of pets my whole life. Within the past five years did I start actively pet sitting. Services I have experience in include staying overnight (can be long term after discussion), drop-ins, feeding, and consistent walking. I also have helped pets with taking medications. I am currently working full time, so pet care would best work Friday to Sunday evening. If the location is close, I will be able to do weekday overnight stays. I would like to see the owner’s home first to ensure I can get in / get out and take care of the pet properly! This includes taking note of fenced yards, any space the pet is not allowed in, and being aware of pet habits (chewing on items, scratching, not potty trained). This ensures I know what to do beforehand and can give the best pet care.

About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

“Gabby is a fantastic sitter, my boy Deke is always shy when he meets new people but immediately took to Gabby which goes to show how amazing she is with animals. She has timely communication and gives my deke all the love and play during her visit! It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing Gabby is stopping in to spend time with him!”

About: Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic dogs who love adventure to cats who prefer a quiet companion, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is simple: give your pets the attention, care, and peace of mind they deserve while you’re gone. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend bookings. Because pet care is one of my primary focuses, I’m able to provide reliable communication, consistent care, and accommodate many last-minute requests when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or extended care, I strive to be available when you need me most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my time with them so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities.

About: I have grown up with multiple pets in the house at once and have 5+ years of sitting. I am very passionate about ensuring that animals are well taken care of and have a flexible schedule. I’m currently a graduate student at WMU, and spend most of my free time studying or hanging out with my cats! My schedule is very flexible, which means I have more time to spend with your fur babies :) I am able to walk, feed and play with your pet for as long as needed, as well as drop by for potty breaks as often as needed. I take into account the personality of every animal and tailor each experience to each different pet.

This was the first time I used Barry, and I was extremely pleased with his kindness and the great job he took care of my dogs on such short notice. He even did a meet and great before I went out of town. I will be requesting him to watch my dogs again in the future.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Plainwell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainwell is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $3 and $36 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 1,425 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainwell. 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 Plainwell. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
