“Caroline was great!! She took excellent care of my dogs! This was my first time with the house sitting service and I’m so glad it was with Caroline! She was great to communicate and send pics and my pups had a great time with her!!”


“We have used Candace several times now for house sitting. She is great with communication and truly takes care of your home and pet as if they were hers. I always feel relieved knowing I can go on vacation without worrying about our pup knowing she’s in great hands with Candace! Thanks again!”

“Brittany did a fantastic job at keeping us informed about our fur babies day and sent pictures. The dogs seemed very happy and content. We will definitely be having Brittany back to help with the dogs.”

“Aubree was absolutely wonderful! We have two dogs and three cats, and she did an amazing job caring for all of them while we were away. She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets as if they were her own. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, which we really appreciated and made it so easy to know our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also left our home very clean and tidy, and everything was exactly as we left it when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book Aubree again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had animals all my life ranging from dogs and cats to lizards, bunnies, and snakes. I have also worked in the petcare industry professionally as well for 7 years doing grooming, training, and vet tech work. I currently work form home so I can provide constant care if that is needed. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can make appropriate accommodations :) Im available for long term care or even short daily visits whichever your schedule requires. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I CAN accommodate last minute requests. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“I had to leave my two Siamese boys home for the holidays. I was very nervous. I work from home and they aren't home alone much, if at all! Having true flame-point Siamese characteristics, they require constant attention and play. They are known to be one of the most social of cat breeds and are often called the royalty of cats for good reason! Lucy stayed over the whole week and did more than give them her undivided attention! She followed their feeding schedule and medicine administration. They had just been neutered a week before and she checked that they were still healing properly. She checked in with me and responded promptly when I texted her to see how things were going. She let me know how much time she was with them and when she was away. I could tell when I got home they had still gotten the amount of playtime and cuddles they need. She met with me beforehand and went over last minute details as I requested before I left. I was in a rush the day I left and Lucy watered my plants for me. My dishwasher was broken at the time and couldn't run water in one side of my sink. She made sure to not use them and hand washed any dishes. I left my only apartment key with her and she didn't forget to put it back for my return. Everything was tidy and perfectly taken care of. I can tell Lucy enjoys animals and watching them. It's not a "job" for her, but a joy she holds in her everyday life. I am excited to have found a permanent sitter and my kitties are happy they'll have a familiar friend when I'm gone! I'm so grateful that she was able to stay over and spend her Christmas watching them. Thanks for becoming my cat-sitter Lucy!”

About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
About: Hi, my name is Cindy and I have always been an animal lover and have had animals in my life. I have two small dogs one is a poodle who is seven years old and loved his ball, he ,is good with children and other dogs his name is cuckoo, and my other dog is a Shih Tzu named Unchie he is 11 years old he is good with children and other dogs as well. Of course they always bark at first.. I have bread and raised Shih Tzu's, )36) total. I worked on my grandparents farm when I was younger. I am a retired Montessori teacher, therefore I am very passionate about nature, children, and animals in general. I am single and have a perfect home, environment, and time-for your loved furry one😊 I am retired and am able to spend lots of quality time with your pet or pets. Also, I have a nearby park that I walk to often. I have a fenced in yard and two lovable small dogs of my own that get along great with other dogs. And for extra activity, I have a park that is next to me with a large grass area.
“This gal hit a home run caring for my pup. I didn’t worry a single minute with Bailey by my fur baby’s side! She walked her daily before the temps were too hot and tended to her every need. I appreciated the photo updates as well! Bailey is an ALLSTAR!”

“Our usual dog sitter had to cancel on us last minute, so we were in a bind trying to find someone else to care for our sweet, special needs dog with less than a weeks notice. Big ask, especially last minute. Brandi was so quick to respond, happy to take on the job, and asked really good questions to ensure our doggo was well taken care of while we were gone. She sent pictures throughout our trip and made sure he had his medications at the times he needed them, and even took him to get a pup cup. She not only took great care of our dog, but our house as well. We came back to the house as we left it. She was kind, reliable, and we absolutely loved working with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”

About: Hi folks! I am new to Rover, but I am a big time animal lover, and sadly I cannot have my own pets at the moment, so I'd love to dote on yours! I have professional experience working with large and small dogs at a board, train, and daycare center where I was certified in canine CPR. I have also raised several of my own pups including one labrador, 3 Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and a Beagle, and have provided pet sitting for many friends and family, including my sister's Great Dane and English Bulldog. I am also a horse lover, so rest assured that size doesn't scare me! I currently work remotely, which allows me to easily dog-sit during weekdays, and I am an active person who would enjoy providing walks and playtime for your pup. I work remotely which allows me to provide pet sitting during the weekdays as long as you have a stable internet connection! I am also available weekends. I am available to provide pet sitting in your home, and/or drop in dog-walking, play time, feeding, etc. I would love to pet and cuddle with the dogs who like it, and will adjust to your dogs unique needs!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was six years old. I’ve always loved dogs. I treat them like I would treat a child. I try and make sure they have everything they need to be successful. I have 2 dogs of my own and I love them to pieces I work for instacart so I can plan my schedule to work for you and your pups! I typically do some side gigs after work but can move things around to ensure the pups are getting the most love and attention possible! I have a big field right behind my apartment where the pups can go potty. My apartment is puppy proof and is safe for all dogs.
“Marce did a fantastic job taking care of our little dog for 12 days while we were out of town. We had daily updates and came home home to him/the house looking great! We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.”

About: Animals have been the center of my world since I was 10 years old, when I got the dog who became the love of my life. Because my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I am looking to connect with dogs elsewhere and give them all the love I miss sharing at home. Whether I am dropping in for a quick walk or staying at your home for a house sit, your pup becomes my absolute top priority. I know how deeply you love your dog and how tough it is to be away, so I will send plenty of photo and text updates to keep your mind at ease. I am highly experienced with long-term stays, respect your home completely, and will treat your dogs with the same deep affection that I give my own. On weekdays I am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting starting at 4:30 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, my calendar is wide open and I am available all day. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and respect for your space are my highest priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to keep things consistent and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are always securely locked, and I keep a close eye on your pup during walks to ensure they are safe and comfortable. My goal is to leave your home exactly how I found it, while ensuring your dog feels completely safe, loved, and fully cared for until you return.
About: I have been watching animals for 16 years and have been surrounded by them my whole life. My husband and I have two dogs and two cats. We have trained our dogs ourselves. We have a fenced in back yard and lots of toys and mentally stimulating activities for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I don’t love when animals are lonely and locked in cages all day - so I want to help you as best as I can! I work from home off eastern time with occasional work trips. I’m pretty flexible during the week and can move my schedule around to accommodate you! I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have two cats but they tend to hide when there’s a lot of commotion. I can crate your fur baby at your request! I am all for open and honest communication and would love to send you updates through the day!
About: Because of allergies in my own home, I don’t have pets of my own. This means that when I am with your dog or cat, they have my 100% undivided attention and affection. I’m not just a sitter; I’m someone who truly cherishes the time I get to spend with animals. I treat every walk and every visit as the 'pet fix' I don't get at home, giving your furry family member the extra belly rubs, long walks, and genuine companionship they deserve. I offer a consistent routine that fits perfectly into a busy work week, along with the flexibility needed for those long weekend getaways: • Weekdays: I am available for evening walks, feedings, and playtime to help your pet unwind after you’ve had a long day at the office. • Weekends (Friday – Sunday): I have full flexibility! Whether it’s an extra-long hike on a Saturday morning or full-day companionship while you're out of town, I’m available to ensure your pet never feels lonely. I believe the best way to keep a pet stress-free while you're away is to stick to their established "house rules." Whether it’s specific feeding times, a preferred walking route, or making sure they aren't allowed on the couch, I follow your instructions to the letter. I want your pet to feel like their day-to-day life hasn't skipped a beat. I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I am naturally detail-oriented and responsible, ensuring that: • Doors and gates are always double-checked and locked. • The living space is kept clean and exactly as you left it.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.

About: I’m a mom and senior care professional, providing compassion, patience, and attention to detail in everything I do. Your pet with feel loved, secure, and well-cared for, just like family! Fur babies deserve the best! I work from home with my daughter, and my schedule is very flexible! I can take breaks at any time to fit your pet’s routine needs. If I commit to something, I stick to it! My daughter would tag along majority of the time as well. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, comfortable space with plenty of room to play, relax, and explore. My two dogs are walked regularly, and many cuddle sessions take place! I am used to fitting pet care into my daily schedule, and figured I could provide help to others who need the same! When caring for your pets, I will maintain their routine as closely as possible. Feeding, playtime, walks, and any of your special requests. I’d love to send you regular updates when you’re missing your babies!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plain City
Caroline was exceptional!! Very easy to work with, took great care of my pups and communicated very well!! I will definately rebook with her in the future!! She was awesome - she was a great house/pet sitter - I think my house is cleaner than when I left! 5-Stars!
100000/5!! What a great experience! We had Caroline housesit for our pups for 1 night and it could not have gone any better. They went on so many adventures in their short time together, plus lots of backyard time! My dogs are super high energy and not the easiest to wear out but they were struggling to keep their eyes open after playing so hard! I also came back to an absolutely spotless house. I would recommend Caroline a billion times over.

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 Plain City 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 Plain City 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!

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.
