“Ashley is absolutely amazing! She's very communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals. She also took out my trash and did my dishes and a few other chores, which was a wonderful surprise. Most of all, the dogs were clearly happy and relaxed when I got home. I'll definitely be going with Ashley again!”
“Traylor and Jason were excellent with our fur babies. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. Came home to a spotless house as well.”
“Open and honest sitter! My dog is particular on how she does things so when there were any questions or concerns she asked me for advice or tips on how to handle it. She’s great with sending pictures with updates. Soph came back happy so I’m satisfied!”
About: As a teacher, I’m used to being responsible, patient, and attentive to the needs of others every day. I bring that same care and consistency to every pet I look after. I’m dependable, detail oriented, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I also have my own large, overprotective dog with a big personality, so I understand how important it is to find someone who truly takes the time to understand a pet’s individual needs. I know firsthand that some dogs can be misunderstood and that finding the right person who respects their boundaries, routines, and quirks makes all the difference. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or simply needs a little extra patience, I’ll take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a teacher, so I have great availability on weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening drop-ins on weekdays. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both your pet’s needs and your routine. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, litter box care, and plenty of attention and affection based on their individual personality. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and boundaries. Some pets love lots of interaction, while others need a little more patience and space to warm up. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, while also providing you with updates and peace of mind.
“We had an a very personalized experience with Shayla. We have a sick pup, and she took amazing care of Bryce. We weee well informed daily of how they all were doing. She left our home cleaner than what we left it! She went out of her way to ensure my wife and I that our pups were taken care of. Thank you.”
“Brittany has taken care of our 2 dogs now twice and each time she is very thorough on how their day was and sends pictures. I know when we have Brittany watching our 2 fur babies that they are well taken care of”
“Meghan was a wonderful companion for our dear Kora! She provided us with pictures and feedback about Kora's well-being over the ten days that she cared for Kora. We highly recommend Meghan!”
“I can’t say enough! She is awesome! Took amazing care of my puppies. House looked great! My puppies desperately need to be groomed, but I had to cancel their appointment. If I’m honest, I’m horrible at brushing them. She took the time to brush both of them out and they looked 10 times better when I got back. Will definitely use again!”
About: I love walking and caring for dogs. I believe that regular exercise is important for every pet. I have been walking dogs for years. Over the past few months i have been providing daily care for my sisters two dogs. I have a flexible schedule and would love to be your pets favorite walker. I can fit your schedule very easily and will help your pet get appropriate exercise. I have been making sure my sisters dog got the vitamins and supplements he needed over the past few months when she was out of state.
“Aubrey was amazing and treated our boy like her own. He's going to want her to be his mom lol. Aubrey sent us pictures and videos of all the fun they had. We felt comfortable leaving him in her hands. Thank you Aubrey and we will be using you again!”
“This is the second time I’ve had Jayd and Ecko watch my dog. They’re so great with him and make sure that he’s comfortable and happy. They’re super great with checking in and responding back quickly.”
About: Ive taken care of pets since I was 7. My first pet was a salamander named "Ziggy." My next pet was a cat named "Jenny" who lived until she was 22-years old! Currently I have a blue heeler named "Sugar" who I absolutely Love! Sugar likes treats and needs as much exercise as possible. I throw the ball for her and I take her on a walk every day around 8:00 PM when it cools down. I talk to pets. My voice seems to soothe them if they are nervous about a new person visiting. More importantly, I make sure your pets are safe before I leave. I know what it is like to leave your Fur babies and want to ensure you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
“We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s incredible care for our baby doggie, Caramel, while we were away on a family trip to Hawaii! From the moment we left, we knew Caramel was in the best hands. Zoe treated her like royalty, giving her so much love and snuggles that it almost made us jealous! We especially appreciated the regular updates, complete with photos of Caramel’s adorable antics and health check-ins. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and thriving while we were away. Zoe went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, Zoe is the one!”
“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”
“Elva was a great house/pet sitter for us! This is the first time we have ever needed one for our 12 year old dog and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I appreciated that she was willing to come before we left to meet us and learn our dog's current routines. I came back home to the house still being clean and a happy dog. I will definitely reach out to Elva again for any upcoming trips!”
“Jada was amazing house sitting to take care of our pup blue! He needs special medicine in his food and needs a few more potty times than most and we came home to a happy guy! Thank you Jada!”
“Afton was amazing! She stayed at our house and watched over our Golden Retriever and Chihuahuas. She came by before hand to meet our dogs, and our Chihuahua (who is not a fan of strangers) immediately sat on her lap! We now are no longer worried leaving our pups when we go out of town... we know who to ask!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plain City
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Plain City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plain City on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 550 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plain City. 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 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.
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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plain City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
