“Kara was amazing with Hershey!! She was so communicative and really made us feel comfortable having someone on our home taking care of our pets! It’s tough to get across all of the quirks of your home and pets but she made our trip more enjoyable! Looking forward to using her again!”
About: I’m a vet student and I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals from dogs, cats, and farm animals! I’ve administered medication like eye drops and vaccines and I’m comfortable with reactive or feral animals! I’m a part-time student taking classes on Mondays and Wednesdays in the afternoon. Besides those days, I’m free all throughout the week at any time! I have plenty of experience staying at my client’s home including overnight stays. I will make sure to respect any rules my clients have and care for their home the way I’d want someone to care for my own.
“Lauren house-sat for us, and cared for my two dogs like they were her own. They warmed up to her immediately, she stuck to the schedule and instructions that I provided, and was communicative with updates and pictures. We would absolutely hire her again.”
“Kristen took great care of my 9 year old Shepard mix. Our pup is super anxious during this time of year, during the summer storms, and Kristen was able to comfort her and was great with communication and sent videos and pictures! Looking forward to having her back soon!”

I love being able to care for pets in their own home, where they feel safe, comfortable, and surrounded by familiar sights and smells. My goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your furry family member!

From walks and playtime to meals, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love and attention while sticking to their normal routine. I’m kind, responsible, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet and your home. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my top priority. I’ll care for them as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands while you’re away! 🐶💕
“Samantha was awesome with our pet kitty! He’s extremely shy and has hidden from any sitter we’ve had before, but he made friends with Samantha! She even replaced a broken litter scoop without being asked, brought in our packages and made sure he was eating consistently. Highly recommend and would book again.”
“Michelle has house sat for us twice. She’s very communicative, organized and very considerate of our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Our dogs are rescues who require regular medications and are high maintenance. Michelle did a great job and we are grateful!”
“As a first time rover members and first time fur parents of an amazing little 4 months frenchie name Kali my bf and I were a little nervous and hesitant to leaver her with a new person. However, Karishma made it so easy and made us feel so comfortable in reassuring us that kali is in great care. I can not thank Karishma and her family enough for all the love and great care they give to Kali, her entire family loves Kali and cares for her as one of their own I 10000% recommend Karishma to anyone looking for a genuine dog lover and professional! Their vegetarian diet has helped my Kali with her sensitive stomach and as i said i cant thank her and her family enough for how amazing care they take of Kali. P.S I will always be booking with karishma moving forward ?”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a ranch-style home, we had dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also had dogs of my own since I was around 14 and have cared for them through every stage of life, from playful younger years to their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, energy levels, and the extra patience older dogs may need. I truly enjoy being around dogs and would care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own. I work during the week, but I’m available before and after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and safe, and I’m attentive to their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos while they’re in my care.

I am more than happy to take care of your pets before and after work, as well as on my days off I would care for your pets as if they are my own. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life so I’ve become accustomed to taking care of them. My pet care just becomes part of my routine. Your animals are cared for as if they’re my own so I will treat them the way I’d want someone to treat my pets I care for pets exactly how an owner asks of me. If you want me to sleep in the bed with your dog/cat I will do that. I like full transparency and there is no such thing as a crazy request!

Katie was absolutely great!! She sent updates, asked questions, and took such great care of our two dogs and home! Upon meeting for the first time, both boys instantly took a liking to her which put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend booking with Katie and we will definitely be rebooking in the future :)!
Joey did an amazing job watching my dog and house. My dog was immediately drawn to joeys friendly and easygoing disposition at the meet and greet. My dog was eager to greet her on her return to my home. Joey was professional and easy to work with. She provided frequent text updates with videos and photos. Joey had the stamina to walk my dog in our hilly neighborhood often. She was neat and took great care of my home and dog. I Will definitely rebook her. Thank you Joey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Plainview is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 18,096 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 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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
