“Jessica was amazing. Our older dog Wallace occasionally has mild seizures. Unfortunately he had an episode during Jessica's visit. She picked him up and held him until the seizure subsided.”
“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She has helped me so much with my German Shepherd, Frank! She walks him everyday. She has even made herself available last minute when I have been stuck at work and couldn’t get home to my boy, life saver! I highly recommend if you want someone caring and trustworthy to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life! From pet sitting, to owning my own, I take great pride in caring for all animals. I hope to care for yours soon! I just moved to the area and am self-employed. With that flexibility being on Rover is a great way for me to fill up my day and help my fellow pet lovers! My dogs (Archie and Cooper) are my babies, we prioritize their exercise, mental stimulation and lots and lots of love. I will adhere to the rules any owner might have but always come in to your home heart first!
“What a fantastic experience! My dog walker arrived right on time and was so attentive to my dog. She took him on a great walk and was even thoughtful enough to check his food and water bowl before she left. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.
About: Hello! I never had any pets growing up, but always really wanted a dog. I love to travel a lot, so its not the right time for one of my own now, but would love to spend time with yours. I love being active and being outdoors and would enjoy getting outside with your dog. I have experience checking on dogs throughout the day and taking them on walks for friends and family. I’d love the chance to give your dog some extra attention and help make your life a little easier! Let me know if you have any questions. I’m very easy going and hope you’ll consider letting me spend some time with your beloved family member. I look forward to hearing from you! I work as a pediatric nurse Monday-Wednesday during normal business hours. I am open for house sitting any time, as long as you understand I will be gone during the day. I can also do walks and drop ins on Thursdays and fridays I see pets as your family members and will treat them the same way I would treat your children. I will work hard to make sure they are comfortable and getting all of their needs met, and will work with you to determine what exactly those needs are.
About: I currently cannot have my own dog but I love taking care of dogs. I have been watching some family friends’ dogs taking care of them and their home while they’re on vacation. I’m currently working a job part time on the weekends but my week days are completely free because I’m a teacher who is off for the summer. I have a fenced in yard. I also do not have any pets but my boyfriend and I love dogs! We love taking care of other people’s pets because they all have different personalities!
About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience walking dogs, feeding, providing potty breaks, playing, and giving pets lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also love cats and understand that every pet has their own personality. Whether they want to play, cuddle, explore, or simply have a calm companion nearby. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to routines so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a teacher, I have summers off, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time outside, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets company fit naturally into my routine. During the school year, I’m organized and used to managing schedules and responsibilities, and during the summer I have even more flexibility to accommodate visits, walks, feedings, and quality time with pets. I love creating a calm, dependable experience so pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual needs and personality. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I pay close attention to instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I also communicate with owners through updates and photos so they feel confident knowing their pet is being cared for. If caring for pets in my own home, I would provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible.
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs on walks, long or short, and multiple times a day if needed. Or even if they just need to be let out in the yard and have a little play time! I have grown up around cats and understand all the little quirks that come with them. I would be perfect if they need a hangout buddy for a little bit! I always know how to find the pets at any function I’m at! I am currently waiting to start a new job, so I have all the time in the world to go on walks throughout the day, let them out in the yard to play, or even just hangout with the fur baby inside. I have always cared for animals my whole life. I understand that a pet isn’t just a pet, they are family. You can trust me to look after and care for them as if they were my own fur baby.
About: I’ve worked at a boarding kennel for a year and know how to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, and take care of all kinds of pets. I can also work with some exotic pets if you need to have them watched as well I don’t currently have a job so I’m free to watch pets and all times of the day or night depending on what you need. I’m good with fenced in yards or walk’s of all kinds. I have house sat while watching pets for family many times so I know how to go about house sitting for dogs and cats.

“When Sutton and I met Lauren and Wynn, it was easy to chat with them and Sutton instantly loved them both! She seemed very comfortable with them and was very happy to see them. I really do appreciate the pictures and updates from the walks. We are very fortunate that Lauren and Wynn are there for Sutton and we truly appreciate the care they give her. ❤️🐾”
“Andrea is an amazing dog walker! She takes such great care of my dog, Scooby, and I always feel confident knowing she’s in good hands. She is extremely reliable, responds quickly, and is clearly very attentive and caring with him. Scooby absolutely loves her, and it shows in how happy and well cared for she is after every walk. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!!”
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainville
Jessica was a joy to work with. We were looking for a person we can trust to help with our cavapoo during our wedding ceremony, as well as drive our Melvin to daycare. She was professional, kind, and so easy going. She is very easy to communicate with and we are so grateful for her!
William is excellent with my GSD! My girl can be quite reactive when seeing other dogs on the street, but William handles her like a champ. Most importantly, my dog is obsessed with him! She’s always so excited when he arrives and returns home fully exercised. William is awesome!👏🏼⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,358 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Plainville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Plainville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Plainville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainville. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
