Kim was Awesome, this was our first time leaving both dogs and I was nervous. She sent pics of the dogs and gave us updates. Our doodles were well taken care of and enjoyed their time with Kim. We will 100% use Kim again.

Katelyn was great with our pups and our home. We came back to a house that was just as clean as we left it, and our dogs seemed completely unaffected by our absence — always a good sign. Highly recommend.

We are so happy to have found Erika to take care of our older puppy Rigby. She did an amazing job not only with Rigby with watching our house while we were gone. On top of that she provided so many video/text updates and took care of our house as her own. She was prompt, on time, and communicated through the whole process. You will not find someone better to take care of your animal while you are away. I will be rebooking and I recommend her to everyone.

Michelle is amazing! I wish I could give her way more than 5 stars. She is a great communicator and sends pics of the pups often which is very comforting to me. When I return home the house is just as clean as I left it…if not cleaner. Most importantly, the pups absolutely LOVE her.

Peyton took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away! One of our dogs is diabetic and requires oral medication and insulin injections twice a day, and she handled his care with confidence. She went above and beyond trying to get him to eat when he was being stubborn. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs and would absolutely book with Peyton again. Highly recommend!

Ada is absolutely wonderful with my pets. My cat is a little bizarre ands likes to snuggle into and bite people’s hair if he likes them. It’s super weird and most people are intimidated by him because of it, but Ada sends me pictures of him snuggling in her hair and she still loves him. My dog was scared of thunderstorms and shaking and being super extra, but she comforted her and when I got home, they both look happy and well taken care of. She even helped when a leak happened in my house and she moved furniture and dried out the floor. She has gone above and beyond to take exceptional care of them ands I would absolute recommend her to anyone. This is the second time we’ve used her, ands we will definitely hire her in the future. She’s a gem.

About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors, family and friends since I’ve been able to drive. I have some pets that I have been watching for multiple years. I currently work full time but it is flexible. I can let you dog out before and after work, and potentially during my lunch break if you are nearby! I can easily crate your dog and easily put them on a leash and take them on walks. If you have strict rules with your pet, I will try my hardest to enforce your rules.

About: I work with a variety of animals from horses to dogs, this includes simple checkups to dog/house sitting! I love being outside and going for walks myself and find it so much more enjoyable with a furry companion. From hyper to chill dogs we can go for walks or runs!! I am doing this to make money for college and hopefully transfer to a university that will foster my passion in engineering. Thank you for considering me :) I am a student with a very flexible schedule as long as we communicate prior to your expectations I can be sure to be a reliable and responsible person to take care of your loved ones. I am completely free on the weekends and in the mornings and late afternoons to evenings on the weekdays when school starts august 25th. During the summer i am completely available everyday! I have a backyard with no fence but a big home, I live with my cat and backyard chickens. My house is tucked away from any busy roads and the yard has clear visibility all around!

Julia did a great job taking care of our 2 great danes! Our dogs can be a handful but she was so good with them. She even allowed them to sleep with her, not that she had much room in the bed. Julia also did any extra tasks I asked her, like brining packages in. She was amazing and I plan on usisng her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Plain View

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Plain View on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,391 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plain View. 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 View 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 View 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 View 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 View. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
