About: I have taken care of friends dogs for several years now and have enjoyed it immensely! I've cared for 1-4 dogs at a time, and have had a great time with them. Right now, I've cared for mainly small to medium dogs, but I'm open to bigger dogs too. In addition to dogs, I have many years of experience with cats, fish, chickens, butterflies, and even turtles. I'm always open to variety and love caring for any animal! I am currently a student pilot with a good amount of flexibility in my schedule. I mainly fly in the mornings for a couple hours at a time. I also do babysitting and tutoring on the side but can also work around those. I can be available for overnight stays most nights and I can do a quick drop ins when needed! I am not currently working, mainly picking up smaller side jobs and studying away, so my schedule is very flexible! I do not offer boarding at my own house, but I am completely open to overnights at client's houses when needed. I have stayed at friends and families houses multiple times and my goal is always to leave making sure things look better than when I got there.
“Riley was amazing with our dog last week! She was incredibly attentive and communicative throughout the entire time, sending regular updates and photos. She even offered to stay with our pup during a big storm, even though it wasn’t required. That extra care and thoughtfulness meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
“Sonja was wonderful with karma! We are so glad that Rover has such capable people. She kept me posted on how things were going. I highly recommend her. If we have a need for a dog sitter again we certainly would use her. Thank you”

“Gabi did everything we asked her to do, and more! She did such an amazing job taking care of our dog. We knew we could trust her and relax on our trip and she did not disappoint. Would use her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.
About: I've had animals my entire life - cats, dogs of all sizes, caged critters, etc. I've provided care for pets of family and friends both inside my home and theirs, and feel comfortable caring for animals with special needs. I am also a licensed cosmetologist and have been grooming my own double-coated dogs for over 10 years and am happy to help with grooming your babies! At this time I am unemployed and have a pretty open schedule to love on your babies! My pups prefer to have me home overnight but otherwise I'm very flexible. My yard is not fenced so potty time is leashed outside, however I do have a fenced patio and large finished basement where my two dogs love to play. I can crate if needed, my boys typically only crate when nobody will be home. Also, I do enjoy giving a good groom- bathing, brushing, ears, nails, and trimming.
“Amanda is great with my kiddos. Given we have a highly reactive dog, Amanda has made great strides with developing a closer connection and has been rewarded with Shelby loves. Highly recommend Amanda and will book again with her.”

“Kay was awesome with our boys Alan and Jaxson! She sent pictures to us daily and gave updates on how they were doing. Dogs really liked her. She left the house as if we never left. Thank you so much. Most definitely will be using Kay for our future Rover inquiries.”

“Drew was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our three dogs while we were on vacation. From the moment we connected, he was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. He made sure our dogs were taken out regularly, kept them on their routine, and truly treated them like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Drew stayed overnight each night, which meant the dogs were comfortable and our home was well cared for too. On top of that, he kept the house in excellent condition, honestly, we came back to everything just as we left it (if not better!). He was also very responsive and kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. It’s clear Drew genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond for the families he works with. We’re so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, respectful, and truly great with pets, I highly recommend booking Drew, you won’t regret it!”

“Nora is an excellent pet sitter. She was patient and caring with my older dogs. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos and I appreciated that. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have recently started to work with cats. I miss walking my dogs from home and would love to help take care of yours I’m currently a student, so although I have many classes during weekdays I have breaks in between as well as Friday through Sundays free. I always make time for my own walks and workouts but I’d love to do it with an animal! My medium sized dog uses a harness on his walks, but I have worked with all kinds of leashes before. We had our yard fenced in for play time but I have worked with dogs in parks and ungated areas.
“Olivia did such an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure Blackjack got his medicine despite his best efforts to avoid it, and she even shoveled our stairs when a snowstorm hit. We would definitely choose her to cat sit for us again and would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.
About: I always grew up with cats but as I got older, have constantly been around dogs of all sizes as well. I currently do own one dog in our home too. I’m currently working part time and get to pick my own hours so I am very flexible! I can do some last minute pet care if the need should arise. I would be able to care for your pet in your own home. I can easily follow direction to make sure your pet is safe and comfy in their own home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Plainview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 272 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plainview. 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 Plainview 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 Plainview 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 Plainview 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 Plainview. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
