“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: Every animal deserves to feel safe, and I pride myself on being calm, compassionate, and attentive. Whether your fur baby is energetic or anxious, I meet them with patience to create that trusting bond during our time together. ‼️IMPORTANT SCHEDULING INFORMATION‼️ I’m very transparent about my other jobs outside of Rover. Below are the only times I am *not* available during a typical week. (Please reach out if you have any questions!) • Mondays: 12pm-12:30pm with an off-Rover repeat client, 6pm-8pm at Save the Animals Foundation • Wednesdays: 12pm-5pm at Nova Candle Company • Thursdays: 11am-6pm at Nova Candle Company • Saturdays: 10am-3pm at Nova Candle Company I always approach animals with the same energy they give off. If I come in and they’re super excited, I’m going to greet them playfully. If I come in and they’re cautious or relaxed, though, I’m going to greet them softly.
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.
“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!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ve had both some combinations of dogs and cats my whole adults life and I can’t imagine my life with them in it. I will love your pets like they are my own. I have two cats at home that require some of my attention but I do have flexibility. Looking to expand my business to allow more weekly routine but as of right now I am available nights and weekends I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. I will pay special attention to any special care or needs that you might have.
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 able to do walks or drop in visits on the weekends and Fridays after 5pm! I know my availability says I am unable to during the week, however, if you are in a crunch and need some help after 5pm Monday-Thursday just reach out and I’ll see if I can be there! 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 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 been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. From dogs to turtles, I’ve had pets throughout my life, and I’ve always made sure to give them the best care possible. I’ve also gained experience through pet sitting for neighbors and family friends’ dogs and cats over the years. I’ve gladly taken on the responsibility of their care without any issues. When your animal is in my hands, they become my top priority. I understand the worry that comes with leaving your beloved pet with someone new. But when they’re with me, they’ll be treated like family. I currently work full-time in the afternoons and evenings, but I’d be happy to accommodate your pet during my mornings and days off. This includes morning walks, bathroom breaks, or feeding times, so they can stay on their natural schedule. When your pet is in my care, I ensure they are always fully leashed and secure whenever we leave the house, so there’s no chance of an easy escape. They will be closely supervised during potty breaks, and I’ll send you confirmation photos of how they’re doing. Any messes will be cleaned up immediately, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.
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’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
“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. ❤️🐾”
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!
“Maddie was incredible! I reached out last minute and wouldn’t be able to meet her before hand. Her good reviews and repeat clients gave me a lot of reassurance. My dog’s walk went perfectly and Maddie had great communication. We will definitely be re-booking 😊”
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.

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.
