About: I am a lover of animals who will treat your pets with the love and care that you want for them, making sure it feels like you’re there with them! I am flexible as a college student home on break, so my schedule can fit the needs of your pets- caring for them is my first priority. I will make sure that your pets are in a safe environment in my home, as well as making sure the environment best fits your pets' needs.
About: I’ve had pets for my entire life, so I have experience with young and old dogs alike. My favorite thing to do is hangout with my dog, and I’d love to become friends with yours too! I love to walk, even more so if I have a companion with me! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets, especially during weekdays! My schedule is flexible and I can work around your needs. I head back to college in September, so my location will change then, but I am more than happy to help you out this summer! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during visits, making sure to follow your instructions carefully. I will make sure to provide updates and maintain consistent communication! I keep the environment calm, clean, and structured.
“Eliza is a wonderful! She took great care of our 3 dogs. She is always on time, gives the dogs all the love and pets, and sends great updates. We highly recommend Eliza and will definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Molly was awesome! Great detailed communication, prompt and complete visits. She is friendly and enthusiastic, we felt assured that our pets were well cared for while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”
“This was my first time having anyone dropping in on my dogs. While it was a tough first visit for my girl Buffy, Patricia was patient with her and tried to be her friend.”
About: Starting when I was only two years old, I became the neighborhood dog walker. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, birds, and more. In 2020, I began my own cat rescue and to date have saved 40 stray/feral cats and kittens. I have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, and am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. My house is full of fur babies - I have a pit bull and three cats of my own. I know how stressful it can be to go away and leave them, and I hope to alleviate some of that stress! ❤️ I work as a therapist in Dedham. My schedule is semi flexible and I work remotely on Wednesdays. I do not work on Fridays or over the weekends. I feel very comfortable with all animals. My rescue work has taught me how to work well with terrified or aggressive animals, and I have a lot of patience. I feel comfortable crating dogs if that is requested, as well as walking very big or very strong dogs.
“Lauren has been very responsive throughout the booking process, flexible as our work schedules change, prompt, and most importantly, our puppy loves her! I would highly recommend her for pop in visits and/or walks.”
About: I grew up in a household that couldn't have pets due to severe allergies within the family. I've always had a strong love for animals of all kinds, and it was always such a bummer not being able to bring an animal home to care for. That never stopped me from pet-sitting though. I've watched over a range of ages, from puppies and kittens to sleepy sweet seniors. I also currently work at a doggy daycare, something I love to do during my time off from my full-time job. It's given me an incredible amount of insight into animal behavior and specifically canine body language. Our pups are always communicating with us. We just have to know what to look for. I'm always down to take your companions on adventures, because an enriched and fulfilled dog is a happy dog, whether it's hiking, sniffing around a new neighborhood, or learning to play a new game. If adventures do occur, I have a variety of car seat sizes available to keep your pups safe and secure if need be. I have an American Red Cross Certificate of Completion for Cat and Dog First Aid (expires: 08/30/2027). Copies can be distributed upon request. I currently work full time at a hospital, 7 days on and 7 days off. I'm available most mornings to drop in and hang out with your furry friend(s)! Whether it's for a cuddle, a potty break, a walk around the neighborhood, or even a car ride and a hike for the more adventurous, I'm open to all activities. My availability is limited to mornings at this time, but during my weeks off I can offer more hours. I'm happy to discuss that further if necessary! Truthfully, my schedule is not the most consistent, however I can guarantee it'll be made up for in passion and genuine companionship for your beloved furry friends. I'm willing to take on same day bookings; I understand that life can get hectic and emergencies happen. My available days will remain that, available. While I am not currently boarding in my home, I'm more than happy to drop in on your little one(s). Your house rules apply, and detailed instructions would be incredibly helpful in ensuring your pet gets its needs met while you are not home. I can and will happily provide frequent updates (or less if that is your preference). Meet & greets are required prior to confirming bookings for house sitting or long term bookings. It's to ensure that I am able to obtain all the information required to properly care for your pet.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a little girl, whether they were my own pets or the pets of neighbors, friends, or the dogs at my daycare job. People know they can rely on me especially when it comes to their pets, because I know that to most people, their dog or cat is seen as an important member of the family and they should be treated as such. I am very capable of this as well as seeing to your animal’s needs, including but not limited to: playing, exercising, grooming, bathing, feeding, training, and petting. At the moment, I am working at a doggy daycare and learning to train dogs. I have available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays but I will become more available soon. I will play with your pet and create a safe way for them to play. I will make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and safe. I will respect your property and privacy and make sure I follow your instructions to the T.
About: I've had a dog my entire life. Friends and family have relied on me to watch and care for their pets. I have experience with all types of dogs but have mainly owned medium to large size. I am quite open and flexible since I recently graduated and am between jobs right now so I would love to do Rover while job hunting. I've had a dog my entire life and currently own a 4 year old golden retriever named Koda! We go on walks every day together.
About: I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, from growing up training Golden Retrievers to the many years I spent with my Lhasa Apso, Cooper, and my two beloved cats. My home is a bit too quiet since they passed, and I’m eager to share that "family-first" devotion with your pets. I’m new to the app, but a veteran with animals! My Commitment to You: • Full-Time Attention: I work independently and am home the majority of the day. Your pet will be my primary focus and never left alone for more than an hour or two. • Versatile Experience: Whether it’s the high energy of a large breed or the specialized needs of a small senior, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. • The "Spoiled" Treatment: Since I’m just starting on Rover, I’m only taking limited guests. This means your pet gets 1-on-1 attention and a schedule tailored entirely to them. Services I Provide: • 🏡 Boarding: A cozy townhouse with carpeted stairs (great for traction!) in a very walkable community. Multiple daily strolls are a guarantee. • 🐾 Walks & Drop-ins: Punctual and reliable. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and am happy to follow your specific training or house rules. • 🐱 Cat Care: As a former cat mom, I specialize in visits that prioritize real companionship and play, not just a food-bowl refill. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and treat them like a member of my own family! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work independently and am home the majority of the day, stepping out for no more than an hour or two at a time. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I treat every animal in my care as my own. My home is a townhouse with carpeted stairs and plenty of cozy space for pets to roam. Both cats and dogs are welcome throughout. I live in a very dog friendly community, so walks happen multiple times a day based on your pet’s needs and energy level. Your pet will be comfortable, well cared for, and never an afterthought.

“Thank you so much for taking care of the kitties!!! You kept me in the loop and up to date on their status and behaviors. With both kitties having medical issues and needing special care, I appreciate the attention to detail and additional time you took to make sure everything was just right. Thank you so much!!!”

“Cheyana responded quickly to my last minute request and set up a Meet and Greet for later that day. Cheyana came promptly as scheduled and took my dog for a nice walk. There were no issues and my dog was really happy!!! Would definitely hire Cheyana again!”
“I hired Renee to care for my kitties while I have been away. She stayed just as long as I asked her to and sent me plenty of videos while playing with my cats and kitten. They were definitely happy to see her and I will be booking her again! She has a genuine passion for animals :)”

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.
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 .

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

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.
