“Allison left the funniest and detailed notes after her visits to see our boys! She is reliable, a good communicator and made sure our cats were well cared for while we were away for the weekend. We will definitely have Allison over again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“As someone using Rover for the first time, Katie more-than exceeded my expectations. I could tell from the picture progression each day that my two kitties were well taken care of and loved to the fullest. Katie was excellent with communication, providing pictures and written statements every visit. She was attentive to both their needs and my own. I would easily recommend Katie to any pet owner, and will be asking for her help in the future!”
“Amber and Zachary were great again! Zachary always takes such good pics and writes the sweetest updates! I love being able to visit home without having to worry that my babies are in good hands ❤️ they are such a blessing!!”
“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. 🐾❤️”
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)
“Taylor was wonderful with Teddy! He updated us and sent pictures. Teddy took to him immediately! Don’t hesitate to reach out to Taylor if you need someone to care for your pups!”
“Allyssah was great with my three dogs during her drop in visits. She took the time to meet them while I was home prior to the visits and was very friendly and asked good questions to make sure she was prepared. She was very punctual and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would book her again!”
“Hailey was very communicative and won over our anxious Great Dane, which isn’t easy to do. She went above and beyond in care and we are so happy to have trusted her with our pups!”
“USophia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. We had her scheduled for three drop-in visits each day, and she was always on time and often stayed even longer than expected to spend extra time with our dog, which meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire weekend. She sent us lots of photos and updates at every visit, so we were able to see how our dog was doing and felt completely at ease while we were away. Sophia was incredibly kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Sophia with our dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
“I can't recommend Teaghan enough! I am a first time Rover user and I was super anxious about it. I had another sitter booked originally but they were flaky so I had to find someone else last minute and Teaghan was sooo easy to work with and accommodating. I am so happy I found her and would definitely use her again in the future :)”
About: Works at doggy daycare, which includes boarding and grooming! Also have had 2 dogs, one small, one big! I would pay attention to your dog’s needs and preferences! I currently work part time, but I have enough time to fit in more time to care for your pups! I’m seeking more experience working with dogs and would love to care for any pups I can! I am a very loving and caring to my dog! He’s a sweet American Pitbull Terrier mix. He is very well behaved on the leash and very responsive when giving commands. I like to make sure I have control over the pup to ensure smooth walks and to ensure the safety for me, but most importantly for your pup!
“Jessica did a great job watching out cat got 11 days! She was flexible when we added on two days last minute. She was professional and did an amazing job! Highly recommend her!”
“Our travel schedule went a little haywire during this booking and Stephanie smoothly accomodated, taking a lot of stress out of the situation. Again, the pet care was outstanding. Would highly recommend Stephanie!”
About: I have two dogs that I was had since I was a little girl. I have grown up learning how to take care of dogs. I love animals and caring for them! I am currently on summer break from school so I have a lot of free time to focus on animals! I keep a light schedule so I can focus on the cares and needs of each animal! I care for my pets by giving them the attention they need! For some people it can be easy to over look a dogs attitude and dismiss their feelings but I try to understand how the animal is feeling and help them with their needs!
“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!”

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. 🐾❤️
Dan and Serena were very attentive to our cats' feeding schedules and made sure they had lots of playtime. One of our cats had an accident and they cleaned it up perfectly as if it were never there and even brought out the trash. I highly recommend Serena and would trust her to watch our fur(less) babies again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Plainville on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 10,260 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plainville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
