About: I have been taking care of my dogs since i was 10. I've given dogs shots and pilled them, fed them, made sure they had water and can walk dogs every couple of hours i am currently working a part time job and I can easily schedule my job around when you need me. I love playing with dogs no matter the size. I can cuddle and bathe your dogs if needed. I love spending times with new dogs and getting to know their personality. I have four dogs of my own and they are very needy. I love cuddling with dogs and making sure they are as comfy as I am.
“Samantha is great!! She takes her time to learn your animal’s specific personality and needs. I felt like my cat was good hands. Really went above and beyond to make our Rover experience a good one. We will be having Samantha back again !”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since before I was 10 years old. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and have raised a lab and pit of my own. My family and friends have always felt comfortable relying on me for the care of their animals! There’s no pup too big or too small around here I’m fully free for whatever the babies need throughout the day. I usually let them out about every hour until we go to bed. Let me know your schedule and we would be glad to keep them on their routine We have a fully fenced in yard that spans about an acre we also have a doggy door they could go in and out if they would like and we have two of our own dogs here both big babies I have my 3 year old brown and white pit mix and our 5 year old brown pit mix who loves to be anybody and everybody's friend
“Where do I start? I loved Gwen and CC. From the minute we met them at the meet and greet, I knew they were wonderful. As we sat and talked, they loved on both our pups - who fell asleep while being petted - and they were so sad to see them go. We received pictures and updates and the house looked perfect when we got home (nicer than when we left it!) They are true dog lovers and it showed with how they took care of our boys. We will absolutely be using them again - and again.”
“Tessa did such a great job taking care of my dog & cat! She sent lots of pictures so I could see them while I was out of town and was very communicative. Will definitely hire her again! Thanks, Tessa! 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve been watching my friends and my friends families animals for a few years now while they vacation or anything comes up. I’ve done the walking, the repetitive throws back and forth, and the quick check in during a storm just to make sure they haven’t chewed the house to pieces. I’m naturally an early bird so checking in earlier then my normal 6-3ish work schedule isn’t an issue and anytime after I’m usually free I have a fenced in run area for free running if they’d like. My porch is screened in so they can have the outside time without getting out.
About: At the age of 10 I got my first dog. Ever since then I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I needed to be the voice for all animals. To me every animal is deserving of love and I can promise you I will treat every one of your fur babies as if they are my own. I currently work as a veterinary assistant while I am working to get my degree as a veterinary technician. i’ve worked at many clinics, boarding, daycare and grooming facilities I am very educated on the means of animal care & behavior. I guarantee your pets are in good hands! I have one friendly dog to keep your pups company & plenty of space for your babies to enjoy! I have extra crates if anyone needed a break or if i’m leaving the apartment. So you wont have to worry about anyone being unsupervised. as well as enrichment toys & treats.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about nine or 10 years old, less in the caregiver since until I was an adult, I now have two dogs and love them dearly. I also enjoy working for Wag!, which I have worked for almost 10 years on and off with a perfect five star rating in many many great reviews. my daily routine includes taking care of a my older dogs, and my cat. I include them in all my plans to make sure they are always taken care of. I always consider them as an extension of the family and their needs are always my priority. I tried to tackle things head on and make sure that their needs are met before my own.
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
“Has been absolutely great at slowly working with my undersocialized/shy rescue the past few weeks, always answers quickly, shows up on time, and is very available - definitely will be working with for future stays!”
“Our kitties were well-cared for while we were away for vacation. Zakiyyah-Iman alerted me when she arrived at our home, and sent multiple check-in photos during her visits. Thankful to have found someone we trust to watch our boys while we are out of town :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainville is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 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 346 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
