“We were hesitant to have a sitter at our house but were really happy with Ryane. Ryane kept in regular contact, our dog seemed happy and well cared for, and our house was in perfect condition (possibly even better than before we left). Would definitely use Ryane again.”
About: I'm a repeat dog sitter and have experience with unexpectedly taking a dog to the vet, after-surgery care, cleaning wounds, breaking up fights, multiple dog homes, getting difficult dogs to take pills, and training. I also do pet portraits! I work from home as an illustrator so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I'm available all weekends and weekdays! I take care of pets in their own home. I can take animals on walks, play fetch, crate them; whatever would make them most comfortable! I can stay for as long as you'd like or only check in a few times a day.
“Always a great stay for our Trio. This time we were completely out of touch at a location with no cell or WIFI and left backup numbers for just in case and when we were late in getting home she contacted our backups to make sure we were going to get back or was there an issue really above and beyond.”
“Celine was great! She stayed with our pups all day, sent pictures and kept us in the loop. We’re very appreciative of her, and our pups loved her company all day. Looking forward to their next time with her!”
“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”
“Matt took phenomenal care of our two pups while we were away. He was extremely communicative and got them both tons of exercise and play. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!!”
“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Hey, I'm Kelly! I've dog-sat for friends over the years for various lengths of time, getting to know many different breeds and their unique personalities. I genuinely love dogs and focus not just on their basic needs, but also on engaging with them and providing a fun environment. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced, and fun-loving dog sitter, I'm your person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home, which means plenty of time to hang with dogs. Whether it's walk time, feed time, or just chill time, I've got it covered. Love having a furry friend around to make the workday better. I've got a great setup at home for dogs – a fenced backyard for them to run around in and tons of toys for playtime. Your dog will have the freedom to explore and play in a secure environment, and I'll always be there to keep an eye on them. So, while you're away, they'll be having their own little fun-filled vacation at my place.
About: I’ve had and cared for all types of animals my whole life, they’ve always been a huge focus and passion of mine. I’ve now been an official pet sitter for about 10 years. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for walks and play, my availability for bookings is completely open for weekdays weekends and holidays. When caring for animals I always treat them as if they were my own, animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember and I have always connected with them deeply. You rest assured that your pets will get the very best care, love and attention while youre away.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.
“Noelle is great and goes above and beyond. She stayed with my two dogs for multiple nights which is not easy. My dogs are lovable but they are rescues who were abused so they have behavioral issues. Noelle wasn’t worried and came to spend time with them ahead of our travel to ensure she understood their challenges and learned how to handle them. One of my dogs is people selective but loved Noelle from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She even worked on some training techniques with them during her stay. She is a true animal lover and it’s evident in her care towards all animals, treating them as her own. I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a local medical student who loves to get outside and be active! I would love to walk your dogs, spend some quality time with them, and help you out with your day. I have grown up with two family dogs, who I visit when I am home in Scranton and not in Philly. One new baby puppy and one 12 year old girl, so I have lots of experience with any age range! I am available 7 days a week. I am currently in school, so my schedule is on a week by week basis for how open I am walking or caring for your animal. I can work with you to fit your needs I care for my pets by making sure they are fed, cool (or warm!), happy, and entertained. I have had 3 large breed dogs my entire life, a Bouvier, a giant schnauzer, and Saint Bernard, so I know how to care for some big fluffy friends
About: As a proud dog mom of two, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every dog like family—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Both of my dogs take daily medications, so I'm very comfortable giving pills, liquids, or supplements and making sure each dose is given on time. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and sweet seniors who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meds, or just snuggles, I provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your dog peace of mind. I work full time from home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily stick to their usual routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, I can crate if needed or separate dogs using our finished basement to give everyone their own space. I closely supervise all interactions and always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe and at ease.

“Brittney was truly the best!!! She kept us updated every day, multiple times a day, with pictures and messages about our 3 kitties. She went above and beyond for us and put our mind at ease while we were away for the weekend. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“My husband and I are new to the area and don’t know many people yet, so using Rover for the first time made us a little nerve wracking. Briana was absolutely AMAZING and took such incredible care of our dog. He truly loved her, which made us feel even more at ease. She went above and beyond, sending tons of pictures and frequent updates throughout the day which completely put our minds at ease. Knowing our boy was in such loving and capable hands meant everything to us, and we will 100% be using her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in La Plume is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Plume
As much as it pains us to leave this review, we have no choice. Selfishly we want to keep Kimberly and her family to ourselves but that would not be fair. Our dog, Wasco, stayed with Kimberly's family for nearly two weeks while we were on vacation. To say he was spoiled, is an understatement. Daily walks, doggy art projects, homemade treats and beyond. We had no idea that our little man was such a great pen pal too. Along with daily videos and pictures we got a nightly letter. For the first time in a year and a half, we finally got to enjoy a vacation without the stress of wondering if our baby was okay. The only downside was, now Wasco wants to live with them. Wasco definitely fell in love with their dog, Lilly. He wasn't the only one because she is the cutest and sweetest little girl ever. I also have to give a shout out to Hailey and Joe because they spoiled the heck out of Wasco as well. The whole family was the biggest blessing we could have ever had. We consider them Wascos second family now. Thank you Kimberly, Hailey & Joe.

FAQs for House Sitting - La Plume
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Plume. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred La Plume walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in La Plume maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 La Plume 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
