“Jenna did a great job taking care of my dog. She played with him, fed him, and walked him. I was able to relax knowing my pup was well taken care of. I have booked with her before and will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Stephanie is such a big help to my chickens and me! She made sure my chickens had fresh water when I was worried about it being frozen. And on a holiday!! Thank you so much, Stephanie!!”
“Thanks for an amazing week, Amber! It was great to know my cats were in good hands. Thanks for being so gracious and flexible! You’re the best! ?”
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.
“STOP looking….. You found the best, most reliable! We are just thrilled with Katie!!! She is a MUST for your you next fur babysitter. She just finished her fourth stay with our two boys. Nelson and Franny are both very timid with visitors, Franny now greets her for daily loving - as Katie’s report states, her new 👯♀️ BFF. Nelson is coming around. She cleans better than my husband and her messages are so absorbable. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable leaving them behind. Katie is the BEST eva!!! Until our next adventure. 🐈⬛🌟✅👑🌞🥰❤️”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I have been a dog Mom for 15 years now. I have a lot of experience with puppies, mid-age dogs as well as senior dogs. My dog now is 10 years old and I did her training myself. I am happy to help out with any training, walking, or overall care! I am a stay at home Mom, but available during mother hours Monday-Friday 8:30AM-2:15PM. Weekends can be discussed and worked into the schedule if needed by the client. I am able to travel to the client’s home, as well as able to take the client’s pet to my home. My dog gets along well with other dogs. I do have a crate at my home for use.
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) :)
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life- some being very high maintenance! I have also worked in a doggy day care and have trained experience in working with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as performing things such as animal cpr and safety procedures! As a college student, I am currently available most of December and January...especially the holidays!!! I don't celebrate Christmas and would love to help any families who travel during the holiday season! I am also currently available for the summer season (May-August) My main goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable! When at a clients home, I make sure to keep pets in their regular routine (except for giving some extra treats)!
“We would absolutely book Hailey again. She was on time, reliable, detailed, and easy to work with. Our cats loved her and were extremely thankful for her being able to give them some attention while we were away.”
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.
“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: I have dog sat multiple dogs at one time for as long as a week long stay. I am very active and enjoy outside walks, and I am able to keep up with fast, strong, and heavy pets. I have always loved animals and am happy to sit and pet a dog or cat for hours. I am a full time student with a low commitment part time job looking for a way to fill my time with work I am passionate about which is spending time with animals and helping owners! I prioritize integrity, safety, and communication. My goal is to keep pets safe and owner’s minds at ease. I enjoy quality time with pets and want to make your life easier!
“Isabell is great! She came over to let Lyra out while we were gone for the day. Her communication before and during the visit were perfect. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Allison went above and beyond for my pup, while she was scared of fireworks she sang a brave girl song and was very detailed in the cards left I would definitely book with her again and she has 100% of my trust”
“Wendy was amazing for our little cat, Gunner! She dropped by for 3 days while we were out of state and gave us so much peace of mind. She was really responsive, wrote detailed drop in summaries (which honestly made our day!), and played with him every time she visited. We would LOVE to work with Wendy again in the future! Thank you, Wendy!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I have had numerous jobs caring for and staying in homes to care for pets while families are away. I am currently available for quick visits or even longer stays! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am happy to be of help where/when needed! I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers at home on an electric fence. Happy to discuss your home requirements when it comes to your pup!
“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!”

Cierra is our go to sitter for our 2 cats. This time, our extended family had to go away for 3 days, and both our cats as well as one of our relative's cats needed looking after together. Cierra went above and beyond and managed 3 cats who didn't know each other very well in the same household (for 1 of whom, it was also a foreign house) without issue. By the time we came back, all 3 cats were co-existing well. Cierra made our vacation stress free by providing such great care for all our fur babies in such a unique situation!
Katie is by far the best cat sitter we ever had! We were so lucky to find her. She was absolutely caring and loving to our cats. She was so communicative as soon as she felt she needed or noticed something different, she would contact me. She left us a very clean home and well-fed and loved cats to come back to! Thank you, Katie! 😻
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 10,297 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:
- 90% 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.
