About: I work from home full time for a tech company and have a flexible schedule but no longer a dog of my own, so I love to fill my time with other people's pets. Able to work from anywhere so that your pet isn't alone if needed. Have experience with large and small dogs, cats, birds, and horses. Experience with medicating, walking, sticking to training schedules, and I'm always up for a hike, play in the yard, or just a lazy cuddle on the couch. I bring treats and patience :) References available. Available for walks, play and overnight stays too. I work from home so as long as I've got Wi-Fi and my laptop I can come to you! Responsible, educated, and employed adult. Have experience house sitting, overnights, and administering medication. Whether walks, long term stays, or check ins, fur babies will be spoiled, training will be kept, and fun will be had! Very communicative.

“McKenzie was fantastic while I was away on vacation, taking great care of my two cats and dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly gave each pet the attention they needed.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, from taking care of neighbors pets as a kid, to now owning two cats of my own! I am currently in nurse practitioner school looking to make some money to support me through that. I have some basic animal training experience, as well as medication administration if needed. I would love to take care of your pets and give them some extra love, they deserve it! I am currently working per diem as an RN while I put myself through nurse practitioner school, because of this my schedule is flexible! I am available most weekends and weekdays. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my boyfriend and two cats. I spoil our kitties and would love to spoil your pet(s) while I care for them as well!
“Hannah is great with our cats! She is communicative, professional and has helped us out even in last minute circumstances. Our two kitties are always excited to see and play with her -- even our more reserved girl. Would highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.
About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking my parents dog for 5 years and have done the same with other friends dogs as well. I love dogs and will gladly help other dog owners take care of there pups in anyway i can! As a teacher, my summers are open and i couldn’t think of a better part time job to help fill the space. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 3pm-6pm until June 10th and after that, on those same dates, 11am-3pm. On weekends i am available 9am-12 noon. I cannot host pets unfortunately due to my condo complex not allowing them. If that policy changes i will gladly host pets in the future.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to provide personalized care for dogs of all ages and energy levels! I am able to administer any necessary medications as well as keep high energy dogs and pups happy with long walks/runs and plenty of playtime. I’ve also cared for litters of puppies. No matter their age/personality I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable and loved! I am a night shift ICU nurse so I only work 3 days a week and pet care fits incredibly well into my daily/weekly routine! I can do various things around the home as needed such as cleaning up after your pet, I could tire them out with play/exercise, keep them safe and administer medication if needed.
About: I am currently studying Animal Science at my university. I am hoping to become a vet one day, so getting the opportunity to practice what I've been taught with your pet will be very beneficial to my carreer going forward! I also had a 15 year old black lab that had a couple of health issues, I was able to give her adequate care for her remaining years. I'm currently a college student studying Animal Science, on a summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Whenever you need me, I will be there. I'm also willing to work weekends and nights! I will make sure your pet is well feed, groomed and have frequent bathroom breaks. I will also take them to the dog park or even on car rides! My studies have also taught me what to look for if your animal isn't feeling well or is in distress, along with how to properly treat them if necessary.
“My seconding time booking Deborah and she’s great! Follows the routine. And plays and loves on your pet! The first thing she said to me once I rebooked with her was “I’m so excited to see her again.” which is something very heartwarming to see when you’re leaving your pet to be taken care of by someone.”
About: Since I was a small child I have been surrounded by dogs, cats and other pets. I’ve helped my parents raise two dogs over the years, including regular walks, feeding, mess clean-up, driving them to the vet, and lots of love and attention as I find that dogs need plenty! Additionally I currently work at a Petco as a Dog Trainer. I have experience giving dogs topical and oral medication as well as basic grooming and hygiene care. I have a passion for our beloved animal companions and can ensure I will take care of your furry friend’s needs with the utmost care and attention to detail. Currently, very open availability aside from Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I have training courses with Petco from 11 AM - 6 PM currently. I am available for weekends. I have a large backyard for lots of energetic romps in the grass with your fur babies! I also live in a quiet neighborhood with very little car traffic, perfect for daily walks. I also live only 3 minutes by car away from a lovely dog park. My dog Onyx is incredibly friendly, seldom ever barks and adores other dogs and people. She is a young ‘un at heart with lots of energy to spare and would love another playtime partner! I am also of course open to spending time in your home to care for your fur baby.

About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. They have a huge back yard to enjoy running around with their tongues hanging to the ground lol! We usually bathe them outside before heading in on hot summer days. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong
About: I’ve taken classes in animal science focusing from the smallest household pets to the biggest farm animals, you name it! But no matter the size, all pets deserve the love and care we people give each other so i'm here to support any ways to the best of my ability! <3 i work up to 3pm on most days so i can definitely stop by before dinner time! i’m also free on Friday and Saturday so feel free to take that weekend getaway :) i’m able to keep your pet consistently enriched and happy during services and have no issue with extra steps needed to ensure they are comfortable!
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.
“Maddie is a reliable, responsible pet sitter and is very attentive to our pets. I feel safe with her in my home and my pets just adore her. Maddie is polite, courteous and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainville
Maria (and her boyfriend) was a life saver when my partner and I had to leave for the weekend last minute and couldn't bring our pup with us. Despite Hiccups timid behavior and constant barking, Maria was very patient with her and eventually became fast friends with Hiccup once our timid pup realized Maria meant no harm. Maria and her boyfriend were so sweet to Hiccup and sent such adorable photos that let us feel comfortable knowing our pup was in great company. She was very thorough with her visits as Hiccup did require medications and even reached out about our turtle and asked if she should feed it which was just so kind and thoughtful of her. If I could give Maria more than 5 ⭐ I definitely would. Definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pet(s) taken care of and maybe they'll gain a new bestie just like Hiccup did 😁 A job well done!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plainville is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. 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 2,478 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plainville. 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.
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 Plainville 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 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.
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 Plainville 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 Plainville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
