“Alexis is a very dependable and caring sitter for our cat Charlie. We really appreciate her effort to play with, feed and spend her time with Charlie when we are away.”
“Wendy was truly awesome! This is our first time using a pet sitter and she calmed my nerves from the second we first connected. My cat Phoebe also loved her from the moment she met her. Wendy has a heart of gold and we’ll definitely be using her in the future!!”
“Marley is wonderful. Her communication is top notch. I always know what is happening at home with my cats while we are away. She gives them attention, plays with them and makes them feel loved.”
“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!!!”
About: Volunteer at the Hotel for Homeless dogs for 4 years now. Lifetime pet owner with much experience. No age, size, or breed I would not care for. Currently Radiology student at CCRI. Set to graduate in May 2027. Take my responsibilities and duties very seriously. I would treat your animals like they were my own. I have my own vehicle and means of transportation. Whether it’s a drop in visit, walking or sitting I will make sure to tend to their needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies for neighbors, friends and family for 12 years! I’ve always had 3 dogs my entire life, so I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and needs! I am a college student and I currently work part time, I have plenty of time in the morning before work to go on walks and give other care needed. On my days off I am fully available and can even board overnight if needed! I have a fenced in yard and have room in my house with a crate if needed. I can provide treats and even some toys for any pup! I am flexible with walks, long or short, and am willing to adjust to any dogs needs!
About: I have been taking care of pets for friends and family members for about seven years, including drop in visits, walks, and overnight or weeklong stays! I enjoy taking the time to play with dogs outside and returning to see my favorite dogs on a regular basis! I currently work part time therefore I have very flexible hours and wide availability. I am unable to board dogs at my own home, but I am happy to meet pets at their home! Friends and family members normally ask me to walk, feed, and play with dogs, however I am also very willing to help train puppies or help dogs with specific needs.
About: I have taken care of my pets for years, mainly cats, but I have experience with dogs as well. Either way, I love both the same! I am able to administer medications, follow diet guidelines, and take care of accidents that may occur. And most of all, I can provide a cuddle or snuggle and unconditional love for your fur baby or babies! I currently have a part time job, but will be able to take care of animals full time soon! For now I can take care of animals Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I have one cat at the moment, I have helped to take care of him along with my parents for over 11 years. In recent years, as he ages, he has needed more medications which I have helped to administer, he is on a special diet and he also has some tummy troubles occasionally that I have helped to clean up. I also had a second cat that I took care of at the same time who needed a lot more care. He was a small, sensitive Siamese who was extremely overbred and who suffered from a lot of stomach issues. The two cats didn’t get along so the Siamese ended up living mainly in my room and our other cat had the run of the house since he had arrived in the family first.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have a sweet 7 year old Yorkie mix who is definitely the center of our household. If your pup is used to a home where they get lots of attention, then ours is the right fit. I volunteer with the Hotel for Homeless Dogs in Cumberland and understand the patience and love dogs need when with someone new or in an unfamiliar place. I’m a teacher so my summers and weekends are relatively free and I would love to spend some of July and August caring for your pup. During the summer, I usually take my dog Petey on about 4 walks a day and would love to bring your pup along as well. I do only take small- medium sized dogs as Petey can sometimes be intimidated by larger breeds. I live with my husband and stepchildren who have had dogs all their lives and understand how to be around them. I have an unfenced yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I love going for dog walks and you can be assured your pup will be outside for a good portion of the day. I can crate your dog if you like, but we don’t crate our own.
“We have 3 older cats (2 with some health issues and meds), so leaving them for 10 days made me a little nervous. Kimberly did a great job with them! The pictures she sent everyday provided such a sense of comfort, as did all of her communications about any of the small issues we've come to expect with our cats. I really felt that she was able to handle everything very well. Made our vacation so much more enjoyable! Thank you Kimberly, we'll call again!”

I have always walked my own dogs as well as friends, and families animals, I volunteer are animal shelters and visit their animals often. Im currently a full-time college athlete, who works part-time, but I am currently on summer break! I'm looking for some extra money, while being home for the summer Im a very trust worthy person, because I care for the animals I would be watching, I have experience with all types of animals that would allow me to be safe and understand the different elements of being a pet owner
“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was 6. Growing up I had over twenty cats, numerous dogs (big and small), and a horse! While owning animals allowed me to learn the basics, I’ve spent 10+ years volunteering in both RI and MA animal rescues to help animals in need. This has allowed me to meet an array of different species as well as personalities. It’s also taught me how to socialize feral cats/dogs, administer medication, CLEAN, and give lots of love. Each pet is unique and I learn something from every one of them! Some can run endlessly and others have to be rolled off the couch. I love and care for them all. If your pet is a social butterfly who is easy going or a bit of a weirdo who won’t tolerate being looked at or the sound of breathing while they eat, I’m your girl! At the end of the day I aim to be a consistent, stable, and reliable resource for pet parents looking for someone to care for their babies! I’m also open to discuss my pricing if need be I have LOTS of free time!! I’m hoping to fill up my schedule with as many fur babies as possible! The more snuggles the better! Making your pet comfortable is always the goal and that process isn’t always smooth! That’s okay! I have time, treats, and more treats on my side. For social animals I am able to just do what makes them happy. Walks, play time, cuddles, etc. For the shy babies I know it’s not always a one visit solution and that’s okay! I’ve had the meanest feral cats you can imagine in my house who turn into the snuggliest love bugs with a little time, love, and stability. It takes time to build trust and I respect that
About: Hi, my name is Gabby! I am a huge animal lover and I find so much joy in caring for people’s dogs and cats. I grew up alongside 3 of the sweetest cats and my family's beloved dog Bandit, who we rescued when I was 7 years old. Apart from that, I have been caring for peoples dogs and cats on Rover for 5 years and have been a reliable sitter for friends and family since I was 10. I know the special love and attention that goes into caring for dogs and cats, both young and old. Your pets will be given daily walks, fun in the sun, and trips to nearby parks or nature trails if allowed. I understand how worrisome it can be to leave your fur babies behind. Rest assured, your pet will have my undivided love and attention. I am available to come stay at your home with your pets and provide care during the day and overnight. I understand the importance of routine which is why I do my best to stick to your pets regular routine while providing plenty of playtime, exercise, and of course cuddles. I always do my best to earn the pets trust with treats and plenty of cuddles. It is important to me that they feel comfortable with me in their home.

This was our second time booking care for our kitty, Turtle, with Hailey. She does a wonderful job and our usually shy cat absolutely adores her. We definitely feel a little less guilty leaving Turtle at home for our trips because we know that Hailey will take great care of her. We love getting pictures from Hailey’s visits to our baby while we’re away! Would absolutely book with Hailey again and again!
Katie once again took care of my cats for me and once again did a great job ! Always sends pictures and gives updates which I appreciate so much . I would recommend her anytime . She is always so dependable . I never have to worry knowing she’s checking on them . I think it’s been 4 or 5 occasions now and every time it’s worked out great !
Such a great experience! He took amazing care of Zeus while I was away and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. He was reliable, communicative, and great with Zeus from the start. Everything went smoothly, and I came home to a happy pup! I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely be reaching out again whenever I need someone to watch Zeus. 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plainville is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 10,223 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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
