“Taylor and Brian were lovely and did daily drop ins with my two cats. They spent plenty of time loving and playing with the cats. I got daily updates on how the cats were fairing and anything that seemed amiss. I definitely trust them with invested and true caring of pets.”

“We are so happy we chose Danielle as our sitter for our 2 cats during our destination wedding and honeymoon (2 weeks)!! Danielle went above and beyond. She truly treated our cats as her own, was extremely professional, and sent cute photos of them daily. We will 100% be using her again! Thank you Danielle!🩷”

“We needed pet sitting for our shy senior pup Chloe for 2 separate days & Angelica turned out to be the perfect fit. She was friendly & sweet to her during the 30-min visits, & also respected her energy! We left instructions for feeding, going outside & for hanging out & Angelica followed it perfectly. She also helped clean up our pup's accidental pee inside the house. We hope to book her services in the future when we need a sitter again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with several dogs and caring for cats for as long as I can remember. This lifelong experience has taught me how to recognize different pet personalities and meet their unique needs, whether that means playful energy for younger pets or calm patience for older companions. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering lots of love and attention, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their people are away. I’m currently in grad school and interning part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Spending time with fur babies is honestly the best break from schoolwork—it helps me recharge and brings so much joy to my day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping pets company, I love making pet care part of my weekly routine. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I always keep things tidy, refresh water bowls, and make sure litter boxes or potty breaks are taken care of. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play, along with a cozy place to rest. I keep the environment safe and pet-friendly, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions to make sure your furry friend feels right at home.

About: I have owned several dogs since I was a child! I have learned to take proper care of pets and I enjoy spending time with them. I also enjoy learning about animals. ( I take an animal anatomy class ) I grew up training puppies, potty training, learning tricks. I also have taken care of elderly dogs before! I myself own a cat and a few dogs. I would love to get to know your pet! I work part-time, but I was enjoy to care for dogs or cats on my days off sometimes I would like to fill in that time and get a little extra cash and I believe I have good skills with animals and I also have a lot of patience and love for them. In my home with my pets, I enjoy having a routine and I understand that other people may also have a routine. It may not be the exact way. I have mine for my pets, but I will gladly follow your instructions. I believe I can keep things professional, and I am confident in my ability to comply.

About: Passionate about caring for your furry friend. When life happens count on me to care for your baby, I think it's important for our pets to have someone to watch them when we are away or busy. I am currently on summer break from work. I work as a part time aide at an elementary school and looking to stay busy and share my love to your pets. I am available everyday. I have a fenced backyard that they can freely roam in and can cage them if you would prefer that. I am okay with indoor dogs and would love for them to cuddle on the couch with me if that's what they like :) my main priority is for your pet to be as stress free as they can be when you are away. I have 2 friendly miniature poodles of my own(I can easily separate them, if needed).

About: Growing up in a family that loved animals I had gained experience caring for and training small, medium, and large dogs as well as cats and horses! I have held the titles of Miss Calaveras Saddle Queen, Miss California State Horseman's Association, and Miss Rodeo Oakdale. All of these titles were ambassador rolls for excellent animal welfare care and required a tremendous amount of equine care knowledge. My knowledge of animal care was expanded further during my employment at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital as first a kennel assistant and then a veterinary assistant. Working at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital I provided routine walks for a vast variety of dog breeds that were both boarding and hospitalized. I am able to administer medications if need be and willing to help with medical care. Currently a student at UC Davis, my weekly routine is very flexible for providing you the best pet care possible! This quarter mornings and evenings work best during week days and my weekends are open! My employee feedback from Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital described me as thorough, patient, and compassionate. I am confident that I will provide your pet with all the play time, treats, and care they could possibly want!

About: I've grown up with German Shepherds, and can lift up to 70 pounds. I often house sat for friends and family. One in which had me take care of four dogs and four cats. My jobs included feeding, walking, and playing with the dogs. As they were diffrent beeds/sizes and some were seniors, they had a very strict potty and pill/medicine times, as well as different portions sizes. I do best with written instructions and am task oriented. I am prepared for different animal behaviors and conditions, as I possess a certificate for veterinary assistance. In my care your pet will be throughly loved and cared for. As of right now I am free any day of the week. I am more then willing to do holidays as well as weekends. I am pretty flexible time wise, but do wish for dates to be final set. I am very mindful of pets security and animal behaviors. I will keep parents updated and alert if desired or in emergency situations. I will make sure your pet is taken care of and loved. I thank you for your consideration.

I current can’t sit at my home, but at your home, I will follow every safety rule AND SOME because this is someone’s fur baby.

About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Plainsburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainsburg. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 86% 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.

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.

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.
