“Elizabeth was great! We were in the area from out of state for a wedding. We were also first time Rover users. Elizabeth walked us through the process, was an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dogs. We highly recommend her and if we lived in the area, would use her services again.”
“Jade is so amazing, I cannot reccomend her more highly. I book her every time I go out of town. She takes the time to get to know each cat's quirks and loves them on their terms. The peace of mind she gives is priceless.”
“Nina is very responsible and took great care of my new puppy, Charlotte. She played with her, took her outside gave her a snack and made sure she is left in her enclosed area. Will definitely re-hire!”
“I was very nervous to use an app like this since I’m trusting someone with my babies… but Julie put me at ease and was amazing. Both of my kitties were super happy and well taken care of. 10/10 would book again.”
“Bethany truly went above and beyond for a last-minute drop-in after a schedule change kept us out of town overnight. Not only were our pets taken care of as asked, but they were played with, loved on, and our home was left better than we left it - with dishes and feeding mats washed and cleaned and litter boxes checked and attended to. We were truly blown away and so grateful after a long day. We feel completely confident in this sitter’s abilities and will absolutely be return clients.”
“Nelmarie saved the day with a last minute sitting request! She was amazing with both my boy's medication, oral and injections, and was very communicative. Highly recommend her to know your animals will be in good hands!”
“Thank you for hanging with Sasha, Sadie and now Winston , for the second time . They love having you. You are dependable and always willing to work with our schedule .”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life and always had a dog growing up, so being around pets has always felt natural to me. While I don’t currently have my own dog, taking care of someone else’s dog gives me that same joy and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve dog sat for multiple people in the past and also help with cat sitting for my neighbor from time to time. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each pet’s routine, whether that means burning off energy or enjoying some quiet cuddle time. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away. I work a 9–5 Monday through Friday, but I’m happy to stop by in the mornings or after work for feeding, walks, or quality hang-out time. I also have no issue staying over during the week if needed. On weekends, I’m fully available and open for business! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to follow all care instructions closely, maintain routines, and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for in their own environment. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. Unfortunately, I’m not able to bring pets back to where I live, but I’m more than happy to provide care in your home, including drop-in visits and overnight stays. I believe caring for pets in their familiar space helps reduce stress and keeps them happy and comfortable.
About: I've taken care of many breeds large and small for my friends and family over the last 20 years. Patience and calming demeanor are key to establishing trust with our fur babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so my job would not impede on caring for your pet and making sure they are getting enough attention. I currently have two golden doodles that are well mannered and socialized with other dogs. They are shared between my home and their Mom's so they aren't always with me. We're accustomed to multiple walks throughout the day and visit a dog park most days during the week.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own—Venus, Ivy, and Floki. Floki is a Maine Coon, giving me experience caring for larger felines with big personalities! I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether that means playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. Outside of pet care, I love hiking, thrifting, scary movies, and spending time with friends and family. I am currently a counseling intern, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 One of the benefits of being a graduate counseling intern is having a flexible schedule! I currently have full-day availability Friday through Monday and additional flexibility Tuesday through Thursday, allowing me to be available when your pets need care, attention, and companionship. My schedule makes it easy to provide consistent visits and reliable care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while respecting your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm presence around, I am committed to creating a safe and positive experience. I will care for your pets with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Allison is just the best! She’s reliable, always keeps us updated with pictures and messages, and always gives our dog the full time. Our dog loves her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she's in good hands. Thank you Allison!!”
About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life! From dogs to cats to horses, I have both domestic and farm animal experience! I currently own a 1 year old poodle rescue, and have in-depth experience from puppies and seniors, as well as with kittens and cats! My previous precious pet was a beautiful 15 year old standard poodle and we had the best times together :) I currently work full-time from home as a Registered Nurse (RN), so I am available all days of the week, both days and nights, for drop in visits to take the best care of your furry loved ones! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family. You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for, training, and loving dogs of all sizes and breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I have lots of experience house sitting for families with dogs, cats, and other animals. I also recently adopted a 7-month-old lab that I am learning to train. I currently work night shift 3 nights a week, so I have lots of time to care for your pets during the day and nights I am not working. I have a fenced in yard and live close to a lot of walking trails. I value communication and discussing individual pet needs and base care off their own daily routines.

Pet 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!

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

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 Plainville 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.
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 Plainville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
