Rachel is the best! She is super friendly and responsible. She not only took care of my cat Mimi very well, and also helped with troubleshoot my pet camera, and watering plants. It’s really appreciated.

Jessica is absolutely amazing, great at communicating, and made me feel at ease knowing my fur baby was taken care of while I was away. I would 100% recommend her to others.

Jackie is amazing! She took great care of our dog Jack with her drop in visits. She texted me updates after each visit and made us feel extremely comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be asking her to come back soon! Thank you Jackie!

About: I have over 10 years of experience working with animals, including time in a professional animal hospital where I provided hands-on care in a fast-paced environment. Although I’ve stepped away from the hospital setting, my love for animals has never changed—I continue to bring calm energy, patience, and attentive care to every pet I look after.” I work full time; I will be able to do early mornings and evening hours. Mornings would consist of walking and feeding as does evening hours with any other specific needs for your pet. I would treat them as my own pets and any special instructions will follow accordingly for the pet's best experience and owners as well. ,

About: I have been pet sitting for seven years, and have experience with dogs of all breeds and ages. I am also a certified dog groomer and work in a vets office PT..! I have experience with special needs animals as well as administering meds/fluids/injections. I believe in treating all animals I care for as if they are my own! I have also owned cats, dogs, and even small animals in my life as well. When the weather is nice your pet will go on many outdoor adventures to new places such as the beach, play dates and even restaurants that are dog friendly! Please note overnights start at 3 pm and end at 10 am next day. There is an additional charge for any additional care needed that is not within this time frame. Holidays and holiday weekends also carry an additional fee. I can not accept dog aggressive dogs for daycare/boarding but can watch them in your home. My schedule is very flexible and I do my best to accommodate each pets specific needs! My care is not one size fits all like many others I always do my best to follow instructions as closely as possible and keep your pet on the same schedule, which provides for an easier adjustment for them.

Our cats are our kids and we hate them being lonely and uncomfortable when we are away. Our newest rescue also seems to not like men so much, so this time when we needed a sitter last minute we reached out to Ella and hit the jackpot!! Ella followed all our directions for feeding etc and kept our house clean while we were away...which isn't easy with 2 cats. Our cats, which can be very shy initially, fell in love with Ella and it put us at ease knowing how happy they were with her and how much they looked forward to seeing her. Highly recommend Ella to take care of your pets. She is very responsible, corresponds with you very well, and loves your pets like her own.

About: We are a family of dog lovers! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and though we don’t have pets currently, our love of dogs keeps us pet sitting and dog walking around our neighborhood. We have 3 young children who absolutely adore dogs, and love taking responsibility in taking care of them when we are pet sitting. We have a lot of snuggles to give your pups, and lots of walks to take them on, too! I am a stay at home mom so our schedule is pretty flexible! We are up early, and outside often. Any timing should be fine for us to work around. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your fur baby. We can play fetch with your pup, give them lots of snuggles, and plenty of walks!

About: Animals have always made me so happy, I have watched many family pets through my life, spending many hours on the floor playing with them, and taking them for long walks. For the last 3 years, I have provided support to several families in need of home sitting, daily walks and entertainment for their pets. Of course I would be happy to provide references upon request. I work everyday from 8-4! so I can be very flexible and head on over after work. I mainly would be able care for your pet on the weekends, but during the week is fine for me if it’s fine for you :) Caring for a pet to me would mean a clean safe environment. Making sure if it’s a puppy there are no choking hazards around that it’s not gonna harm the animal. Also, tiding the area keeping toys to one location, any accidents the animal may have, I would clean that up. Making sure there’s always fresh clean water for the puppy to drink, and plenty of play time and exercise. Some animals may have long hair and that may require some grooming with a brush.

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I am 33 years old . I majored in business. I am a fun, responsible, caring, loving person. I love animals more than anything! I will take care your fur baby, as if they were my own! I have been taking care of pets since 2016. I own two rescue pups! Best decision that my family and I ever made. ❤️ I have self trained my own dogs. I have also saved more than a dozen pets who roam the streets and have nowhere to go. Even the aggressive ones. Medically- I know animal CPR. I know how to give a pet medication. I have taken care of very elderly dogs, handicapped dogs. Deaf or blind. there are pets who are both deaf & blind and I am extra on top of them. I am used to very energetic dogs! So, that is not an issue. I have dealt with very shy & scares dogs as well. Who leaves my home with a brand new personality! I have a big & fenced backyard. It is locked on top and boarded on the bottom. No way in, no way out! If you currently crate training your pet, I can easily continue to crate train here. Lastly, if your pet is under my care they will be as safe as they can be! You will receive updates and photos throughout the day. I will follow the same schedule that they have at home, with me! :) I work from home 24/7. I am available all day to tend to your pet. I am available any time unless I am booked. :) I will always be with your pet at all times. They will never leave my side. Safety takes a HUGE ROLE in my services. My backyard is fully fenced in. Boarded from the bottom, locked on top. No way in, no way out. My backyard/home is a very safe environment for any pet that comes & goes.

There is a short stretch of time in August where i will be away, but other than that, I am excited to meet new pet friends :) I am well versed in crating dogs, as well as keeping an eye on mischievous animals.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience in pet care, including time as a veterinary assistant and my ongoing work with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter as both a rescuer and foster. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from dogs and cats to birds and exotics — and I’m comfortable with animals who need extra patience, whether it’s shy rescues, energetic puppies, or seniors needing gentle support. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional training with compassionate care. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior, keeping pets safe, and making them feel at ease in new situations. Whether your pet needs medication, structured playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I’ve built my schedule around it. Between my own pets, fostering, and volunteering with the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, I’m used to giving animals consistent attention, exercise, and enrichment every day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings and cuddle time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes — so your pet feels secure and stress-free. I take the time to learn their cues and make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of love. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, supervised environment where they get attention, enrichment, and space to relax. Because of my background as a vet assistant, foster, and rescue worker, I’m experienced in monitoring health, administering medications, and keeping pets calm in new situations. Above all, I value trust — I treat your pets and your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.

About: As an owner of a hound mix, I will make sure that your fur baby's happiness is a top priority because I would want the same thing for her. Because I'm semi-retired, I would have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup. I'm available most mid-mornings to late afternoons on weekdays with possible availability on Saturdays. I can walk, feed, and play with your pup at your residence if needed. I have worked with a trainer in order to walk on a lead with my dog and would apply those lessons yours. I can also crate your dog if needed.

About: Hi! My name is Bella. I’ve had years of experience caring for animals: dog and cat sitting, dog walking, puppy care (including caring for newborn puppies). My family has always had dogs of our own as well, including many rescue dogs over the years. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and offer a flexible schedule to suit you and your pet’s needs. I’m currently working part time and can adjust my schedule to your pets needs and can manage walks, playtime, etc. in between my current schedule. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I live across the street from a big field and usually take pups on walks there or around my neighborhood. I can also take them to a fenced in park nearby if the owner is okay with that. Although I work part time close by I’m around most of the day so your pup will have plenty of attention and play time!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Plainview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Plainview on Rover is $44.4 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 24,914 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plainview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plainview stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Plainview with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
