Cat Sitting Plato Center

“Doreen was fantastic! She took care of our 3 cats for 2 weeks while we were away on our summer vacation. We really appreciated her open communication, punctuality, and professionalism. She provided notes and photos on how things were going with each visit which I looked forward to every day.”

“Erika was super, she even went above and beyond and brushed my dog for me. Very thorough with what she did for me, which I appreciate as a first time user! Thank You Erika :)”

Ursula A.

“Katy is absolutely fantastic and so in tune to what our dogs need. We have a malamute and even 70 degree weather can be too much for a walk. Katy recognized this without me telling her and caters to his needs. She also checks on the dogs randomly when she isn’t even watching them. I feel very confident in her abilities and that our dogs are in good hands!”

Ann J.

“I’m so glad Samantha got to stay home and receive care from Jamie. Jamie was available to care for my girl while I away for the evening. She provide pics so I can see how well Sam was. This gave me peace of mind. Will definitely book again!”

Mel W.

“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of my 4 cats. She dropped in every day in the scheduled timeframe and ensured the cats were fed, their boxes cleaned and spent time with them. She even cleaned when one of the kitties threw up.”

“Madeline was amazing with our cat! It was so comforting knowing our cat was being so well taken care of! We would recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a caring and diligent pet sitter!”

Jacob P.

“Scott took amazing care of my girl who needs extra help getting around. He was very attentive and sent detailed updates along with photos after each drop-in. My dog had a lot of fun with Scott and she seemed very comfortable and relaxed around him. Highly recommend him!”

“Stephanie very clearly cares about the animals she looks after and it is easy to see she has their best interest at heart. She also is able to read the personalities of different animals and caters her care to each specific animal. I am so glad she is around and will definitely call her again!”

About: About us: I stumbled onto Rover in August 2022 after trying to think of ways to make a little extra money while working at home, full-time, and with 3 kids (approaching middle and high school) that have wanted a dog since probably before they were born. I grew up with dogs and wanted a dog too! But I also didn’t want the vet visits, food expenses…what do we do with a dog when we want to travel? Fast forward to now and dog-sitting has been a truly epic, awesome experience for all of us. By the time you read this it’s likely we will have reached triple digits of dogs that have stayed here. My kids get to learn about ALL different kinds of dogs which has turned them into lifelong dog lovers. I get the companionship I’m looking for while having a flexible hybrid work schedule. And when you choose us your dog becomes part of our pack, and given the very best care 24/7. I am fully aware that your dog is a member of your family and I truly appreciate your trust in selecting us to care for them. I believe strongly in supporting and giving back to the community, so in addition to fostering dogs we also give a portion of my Rover income back to the local animal shelter. Win-win! What it’s like here: We have a huge fenced-in yard with a horse farm behind us so lots of interesting sights, sounds and smells for your doggie to experience. Many like to hang out on the deck and watch the horses behind our home. Your dog will come home relaxed and happy. Many repeat clients tell me their dogs get excited as soon as they turn onto our street for the next visit because they have happy memories of their last stay. We can hang out with your pooch for doggie day care, overnight, weekend visits, short-term (1-2 weeks), and long-term stays (>2 weeks). We will follow your instructions to a T. Is your dog allowed on your couch? Sure, us too! Does your dog sleep with you? Okay, we can do that! No crate? Sounds great! We want them to enjoy themselves as much as we enjoy having them here. They are truly our guest. It's amazing how quickly the dogs adapt and become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs that require oral and injected medication, senior dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with diapers. YOUR dog is most welcome. I love figuring out what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Did you know? When searching for a sitter check if the review is flagged "verified stay". Anyone can write a review so only the ones that are flagged this way are legitimate Rover stays!

About: I grew up taking care of my 2 collies and helping out with family members pets. I am experienced with managing large breeds and high energy dogs. I am currently on summer break from university, so I have a lot more free time. I am available on weekdays after 11 and weekends I have full availability. Safety is my top priority. I treat every pet as my own, maintaining a calm, clean, and safe environment. Ahead of time, I ask about any triggers your pet may have and make sure we walk in comfortable environments.

“Meghan was great- I didn’t have to worry about our cat at all and trusted he was in good hands. She gave us great updates; will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have had a long love for animals,growing up with cats and dogs. As an adult we had a beloved German Shepherd mix that was our ring bearer. And we were blessed to have him for 11 years. Now I'm a proud dog mom to 1 terrier mix. I've taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was in Middle School for neighbors and friends. I love going on walks and playing fetch. I work part-time at a school so right now I'm off during the summer but during the school year I would be able to work around my schedule and have several days off during the school week to pop in before and after or on my days off. I would love to pop into your house for visiting. I will follow your dogs normal routine. Please let me know how to help your animal feels most comfortable.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and lizards my whole life. I will spoil your pets based on what the owner allows me to do. I have an 11 year old Boxer who loves companion ship of all animals. Currently I am unemployed so pet care is my main focus. When I’m not taking care of my 11 y/o Boxer and 1 year old Bearded Dragon I’m looking up ways to make my animals more happy I will take dogs on walks at least 2 times a day and will take them to dog parks to run around. I have a 11 year old Boxer that will keep your dog company too. This household is cat friendly as well and will treat the cat like a king/queen that they believe they are.

“Ryan did great with drop in visits for our dogs! One is diabetic and we really appreciate the care he showed.”

About: I have taken care of animals for it seems like my whole life. I have experience administering medication both orally and through syringes and love to spoil dogs when walks and cuddles. I work for a school district so I my school day runs from 7:30-2:30, so no pet would be alone for long. I can do weekdays and weekends. I have experience going into someone’s home and watching their animals from there. I find it’s easier for on them when they are in their own home environment. I follow your routine and instructions and will let you know if I have any questions or anything comes up.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7-8 years for my family, friends, and neighbors. They have trusted me with walking, feeding, and overall loving their furry friends! When my family first got our dog in 2020, I assisted in training him and learning how to take care of a puppy. I have also helped to take care of my roommates pet dog and cat in these last few months as well! During the summer of 2024, my dog suddenly went paralyzed and lost function of his back legs. We had to learn how to take care of him and walk him using unconventional ways, while teaching him how to learn to walk again, so I have experience with a dog who has been partially disabled (but he has regained his ability to walk and is doing great!!) I recently graduated from Miami University, Ohio with my masters degree in speech-language pathology. I just moved back to Illinois and am looking to do some dog walking and pet care/love this summer before starting a new job in the schools this upcoming August as a speech-language pathologist. I will adhere to any requests that the client has. I am willing to put them in their crates, give them treats, play with them in the yard, or go for a nice long walk with them. It really comes down to the clients preference and I will stick to their normal routine!!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my eight years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also birds, chickens, and horses. I bring a calm, confident presence that helps animals feel at ease, even those with special needs or unique temperaments. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My background in animal care goes beyond the basics, and I treat each pet like my own—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or specialized care, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive service you can count on. Pet care is part of my daily routine, both at work and at home. I’m a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is literally what I do every day. Before and after work, I’m already on a routine with my own two Aussies and three cats — feeding, walking, and playtime are built right in. That means I’m used to early mornings, late evenings, and structured schedules, and I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pets. I always follow your instructions whether that be taking your dog out on a long lead, or constant watching in your fenced in yard. I make sure they get fed on time, potty breaks if they need them a certain time apart, ie every hour, etc.
