About: 🐾 A Lifetime of Love for Pets! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! As a lifelong cat and dog lover, I know that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. ❤️ My own little (okay, not so little!) furry family includes my angel dog, Severus, who I love and miss dearly 🌈, my sweet Yorkie, Phineas, and my 11 cats, all proudly named after Harry Potter characters! 🪄🐈‍⬛ You could say I have a little magic and a whole lot of fur in my life! I love everything from going on walks and playing with energetic pups to simply lounging, cuddling, and keeping your pets company. I’m happy to meet each animal where they are and give them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. ✨ What you can expect from me: * 🐶 A genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities * 💕 Patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to your pet * 📱 Reliable, responsive communication — I know how important updates are when you’re away from your fur babies! * 🐾 Dependable care you can feel comfortable trusting * 🏡 A commitment to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved I’m excited to grow my pet-care family and build lasting relationships with wonderful clients and their beloved animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a little playtime, a cozy companion, or someone to give them extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾❤️ I work full time from home Monday through Friday from 7am to 330pm. My walking availability is any time after my work day through the week, and open to anytime on the weekends. For sitting/drop ins, please inquire. For boarding, pets will be with me all day and night. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, my house is full of love, treats and toys! If you book me for services, you can be assured that same love will be given to your furry friend. Feeding schedules followed as provided by pet parent to ensure your pup is getting the required amount of food. My dog eats freely except when I’m boarding as to not disrupt any schedules. I currently have one dog (Severus), who is a yorkie mix and 10 total cats, some indoor/outdoor/mix. Our home gets hectic but we love our animals and can’t imagine life any differently.

About: Being around dogs is something that comes naturally, and making them feel comfortable is always the priority. Time is taken to understand each dog’s personality, whether that means helping a puppy learn or giving a senior dog a slower relaxed walk. Every walk is filled with patience, attention, and a little extra love (and probably a few happy tail wags along the way). The goal is always a safe, fun, and stress free experience for every pup 🐾 I’m in my second year of college and working part time job on weekends, so afternoons on weekdays are when I’m most free. Every pet is cared for based on what they’re used to and what makes them feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, routines are followed closely to keep things familiar like feeding times, walks, or play. At home, pets are in a safe calm environment with lots of attention and care. Whether they’re energetic or more relaxed, they’re always treated with patience and love.

About: I have over 7 years of pet care experience, both through Rover and privately, and I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of dogs, from Pit Bulls and Boxers to Corgis and Dachshunds! I also have experience caring for my own Husky and cat, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and takes time to warm up, or just wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I truly love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. To me, pet sitting is about so much more than just stopping by to feed and walk your pets. It’s about giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve! ❤️🐾 I currently am a full time early education teacher!! I do this as a part-time job! I do my best to make pet care fit comfortably into my schedule while making sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I’m happy to communicate with you ahead of time to discuss your pet’s routine, your expectations, and the timing that works best for everyone. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I always aim to keep them as close to their normal routine as possible. Communication is important to me, and I’ll be upfront about my availability so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! I know how hard it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely comfortable trusting me with them and your home. I prioritize keeping pets safe, following your instructions carefully, securing doors and gates, using leashes responsibly, and being mindful of their surroundings. I respect each pet’s boundaries and never force interactions if they need a little extra time to feel comfortable with me. I also believe communication goes a long way, so I’m happy to send updates, photos, and little check-ins while you’re away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying, knowing your pets are being cared for with patience, love, and attention.

About: I have had puppies and dogs in my life for the last 32 years. My life would not be complete without them. Currently I have a treeing walker coon hound who is full of energy. My lab just recently passed away. She was almost 13 years old. Being able to help people out by making sure their dogs or cats are loved and exercised would be so rewarding for me. I’m a nurse who works part time two days a week. I’m looking forward to filling the rest of my week with pet care appointments. I will respect your home and privacy and be sure and agree upon set instructions before entering and leaving. I will effectively communicate prior to and after each visit.

“Kimberly was an awesome pet sitter and we will certainly use her again. My kitties are older and so it is important that we use a sitter who will closely monitor them to make sure they are doing well while we are away. Kimberly took great care of our three cats and spent time interacting and playing with them on visits, which was important to me. Her communication after the visits was excellent. Thank you Kimberly!”

About: I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs all my life and now that I'm older I own two myself. I've always had a love for dogs but for me they're more than just man's best friend they're a part of your family and they should be treated as such. Caring for your dog in your home they will be treated just like a part of my family as I treat my own dogs. While working through Rover I also work under another company called Nomad at Home Caretaking where I am able to learn from the owner on how to run my own dog sitting business myself. Caring for animals is my passion and I love what I do. I treat everyone’s pet with the utmost care and comfort while your away so they never feel alone. I cannot wait to hear from you! Hope you have a great day! For walks I am available between the hours of 9 and 5 and after depending on availability. This would also be the same with drop ins. House Sittings I will be gone usually 4 to 6 hours maximum during the week and 3 to 4 during weekends unless otherwise specified. I care for pets as though you never left the home! I do my best to keep all pets on their normal routines and schedules so they feel more at ease while your away. At my home currently I have a large yard with multiple tie outs but they will never be unsupervised outside. Inside I have a good floor place for cuddles and play!

“Gwen took fantastic care of our cat when we were away for a two-week long trip. I am always nervous about leaving my pet for so long, but with Gwen’s help I knew he was not only being cared for, but nurtured as well. Gwen came over every day to make sure Rue had company, and I am grateful I got to enjoy my trip knowing he was well looked after. Gwen is friendly, has great communication, and sends photos every day. She even left a very thoughtful gift at the end of her last visit. I would/will 1000% book with Gwen again, and you should too!!”

“Corey was an amazing Rover sitter! He was on time, took wonderful care of my cat, and went above and beyond by washing all of the food and water bowls before I got home. My cat had a great play session, and Corey sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always knew how my cat was doing. I would absolutely book Corey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”

About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and I currently take care of my senior Maltipoo. I’ve been dog-sitting and taking care of other people’s pets since I was a teenager. I currently only work a few days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Any stop in or walk will be treated as if they were my own pet. I truly just love animals, especially dogs, and I love getting to know their different personalities. Exercise and play time are so important for dogs, and I’m happy to help out with that!!

About: I have a strong passion for animals especially dogs. I have an extreme level of patience with animals and feel that they deserve to be spoiled with love and attention. I lost my best friend/my heart February 17, 2022 Jaylo, my female boxer mix. My girl was 14 years 7 months 1 week old. Jaylo fought diabetes the last 3 years of her life which required a strict healthy diet and routine including insulin shots 2x a daily and additional medication unrelated to her diabetes. Overtime Jaylo did lose her eye sight and was blind for the last 3 years of her life also. I feel strongly to protect and nurture each animal. They give us priceless amount of love, attention, company and loyalty. I will be sure to treat your animal like it is mine - gentle, friendly, loving and fun. I can't wait to meet your pet! :-) I work full-time from my residence day time hours currently M-F. My schedule is expected to change in the coming months (I will be sure to update) however, currently I am available for dog walking in the evenings after 6:15pm. I am available for dog sitting Friday and Saturday evenings also available after 6:15pm. I reside in a 2BR 1BA apartment. My unit sits along side a large patch of grass that I spent hours each day walking my female boxer I lost 02/17/22. I live on the bottom floor where the concrete slab runs right into the grass area on the opposite side of the parking lot which is alot safer and easily available to bring your animal in/out for potty breaks and to stretch his/her legs on frequent walks. Animals are family and welcome to get on furniture. I will provide prompt updates on your pet also :-)

About: have extensive experience caring for cats with special needs and common health conditions. I’m familiar with upper respiratory infections (such as feline herpesvirus), ear mites, digestive sensitivities, and post-surgery recovery care. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye drops, and ear treatments as instructed by pet parents or veterinarians. I pay close attention to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, ear scratching, appetite changes, litter box habits, and overall behavior to help monitor a cat’s condition. I understand how to properly isolate cats when needed, maintain a clean and low-stress environment, and follow hygiene protocols to reduce the risk of cross-contamination—especially in multi-cat households. I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive cats and take a gentle, calm approach to build trust. My goal is always to keep cats comfortable, safe, and stress-free while keeping pet parents informed with regular updates. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended stays, and I make sure pets are never rushed or left unattended for long periods of time. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I always monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I’m experienced in managing multi-pet households, maintaining proper hygiene, and ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.

Angela was probably the best decision we ever made to take care of our brand new puppies who had never been separated from us before and we’re both still under 20 weeks. They loved her right away and they were super receptive to her from the start. She was able to help us take care of them when one was sick while we were gone, and she kept us up-to-date every moment of the day and went above and beyond more than we can even say for our pups and our home while we were gone. We will absolutely use her again when we go on our next trip. 10 million stars because I’m only allowed giving five above!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Plain City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plain City is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 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 2,441 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plain City. 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.

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 Plain City 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Plain City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plain City. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
