“Our golden doodle loved staying with Rachel! She sent pictures of our dog and showed him napping and playing with other dogs. I felt comfortable while I was away knowing he was being taken care of by Rachel!”
“As always, we are so grateful to have Lauren as our go-to pet sitter. She has watched our pup since he was just a few months old and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the care and love she provides. She truly treats our pup like one of her own :)”
“Krystal is Very nice and has a very spacious place for Oscar. He seemed to like it. Very good communication and understanding with the changes in my schedule vacation. We will use her again.”
“Jana is great! This was our first time using a private pet sitter (and Rover), and we are very happy to find her. The dogs were well cared for, and she sent pictures and let us know how the dogs were doing throughout the stay. We look forward to the next visit.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart! ❤️ I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I previously cared for my own two small dogs through their senior years, including when they needed medication and extra care. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, cuddling, and keeping pets company. I also love sending photo updates to pet parents so they can feel reassured and stay connected with their furry family members. I always do my best to follow each pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pets will be treated like family in my care! 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy creating a safe and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home. I always make sure to follow each pet’s feeding schedule, habits, and individual needs. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like part of our family! 🐾❤️ We have a patio where pets can enjoy some fresh air, and there’s a park nearby where we can take dogs for walks, exercise, and playtime. 🐾 I always follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their parents.
“Mitchell is an amazing dog sitter. He exceeded our expectations! We appreciate he only tends one dog at a time. We also like his safe, fully fenced back yard. Mitchell sent us daily photos and updates on our fur baby. Our dog takes medications and Mitchell had no issues in giving the meds to our dog. We had a human medical emergency while we were gone. Mitchell was very accommodating with our pick up time We will definitely will use Mitchell again!! If you are needing a dog sitter, we recommend Mitchell 100%”
“Fantastic experience!! Our pup is full of energy and they handled him with no problems! Genuinely seemed to love the dogs. Highly recommend! they were great to work with! Our pup came home happy and tired will definitely call again!”
“Leaving my dogs Bruno and Mia behind when we travel is always difficult, but knowing they’re in the loving hands of Jason & Bridget brings us immense peace of mind. From the moment we met, it was clear that Bridget is not just a pet sitter but a true animal lover who treats my dogs as her own. During their stay, she provided regular updates, complete with photos and videos, so we could see how well they were doing. It was evident that our dogs were not only safe but also enjoying their time, playing and relaxing in a comfortable environment. What sets Bridget apart is her genuine affection for animals and her dedication to their well-being. She goes above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and cared for, making our time away stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for her exceptional care and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. 😇🥰😘🐶🐶”
“Crowe and Taylor were wonderful! Quick to respond and made sure we had any questions or concerns answered or taken care of. They sent lots of pictures and updates on Hazel which we loved. She was happy and well taken care of :)”
About: I have always had dogs! I have one 3 year old goldendoodle who loves friends! We would love to share time and toys with your baby! I work Monday - Friday 6 mins from my home. I can come home for potty breaks as needed. I am home on the weekends. This is a dog's world, I just live in it! I am all about meeting their needs. My dog, Missy Lou, will be with me, and we would love be with your furry friends where it is most comfortable for them.
About: Hey I’m Jen! I love all animals and I know how important it is to find someone who cares when you need help! I have had animals my whole life and grew up in the country with horses, goats, dogs, cats, rabbits and ducks! I previously worked as a veterinary technician and have been running this business since 2021. I currently have 6 fur children, 2 horses and 4 working dogs. Helping animals is a passion of mine. So when I see a wandering, lost critter, you better believe I’m picking them up and getting them home! I am a working mom of two ages 14 & 12 who both love animals and help out a lot. When you board with me your fur babies are always taken care of. They can run in the huge backyard, swim in the dog pool, lay in the shade, play with the toys and go on walks during the day, then have their own private space at night to sleep. I am currently working a 48/96 rotating schedule so I have a lot of availability in between those days. I will always do all that I can to fit your pet care needs into my schedule. I have a fully fenced large backyard, private kennel space for each dog for sleeping, eating and rotation with those that are in heat, intact or don’t get along with others. In your home, I will always go above and beyond to meet your wishes and keep things as close to normal operations for your pet as possible to avoid disruption to their lives.
“Ashley was sweet! She sent lots of pictures and videos that helped ease any anxiousness over leaving. Our dog seemed to have a great time with Ashley and her family.”
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.
“Ashley and James took amazing care of our 12yo shih tzu and 4yo golden retriever. Our doggos got along well and played with their lab. They had plenty of room in the backyard to play and plenty of cuddles and sleepy time inside. They were super communicative and sent us pics and vidros while we were gone. They were so kind and even gave us some doggo treats with the ingredients listed! We'd be happy to have them watch our doggos again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plain City
Jason is awesome! He stepped up to care for our Gracie and Remi after another provider declined due to our incontinent Yorkie. He was super laid back but confident, which we really appreciated. We were taking such a long trip and had never left our dogs for more than a couple days before. He was very reassuring, attentive and has such a great set up with so much room for them to play. Our shihpoo made fast friends with Jason’s dog we knew would have fun. He provided updates and pictures while we were gone and we appreciated that so much. We missed our dogs but weren’t worried because Jason was so great.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Plain City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Plain City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Plain City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plain City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
You and your Plain City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
