“Tyler took wonderful care of Dusty and Daisy. They took to him immediately and it was obvious that he gave them a lot of attention. He is punctual, polite, and a very caring young man. We will be rebooking with him again in the near future. Thanks again Tyler.”
“Julia did a great job! We were away for 5 days, and our dogs were happy and well fed when we returned. The house was cleaned and she checked in with pictures to let us know that everything was going well.”
“Kat is awesome. (I hate posting this because I want her to always be available to take of my fur babies, but that would be selfish.) She is great and I definitely recommend her.”
“Sarah did a great job watching Lacy at my home over the weekend. She was an extremely responsive communicator and left my house like she hadn't even been here! Would certainly use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of dogs in the family, friends, and even strangers. I have been caring for dogs all through out my life and would like to continue to help others with their fur babies. I have gone and done daily things like walk and take outside or I have even done boarding for 2 weeks at a time. I currently am in between jobs and would love to help care for other people's fur babies! Check out my calendar for specific availability or shoot me a message! I always pay the upmost attention when taking pups outside at their home. I will look after them and love them as if they were my own.
About: No dogs too big, no dogs too small, I love them all! Hi I’m Alaina! I’ve been my family and friends go to pet sitter for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and energy levels. I take pride in assuring I am your dogs new best friend by the time I leave your home. I have a reputation for providing top notch care for every animal I have the pleasure of watching. With my reliability, excellent communication skills, and my deep sense of responsibility, Im here to ensure your animal gets the love and attention they deserve. I work part time Monday-Thursday. I am able to provide full time pet care Thursday-Sunday. Whether that is staying in your home full time or doing drop ins as needed. I am capable in doing anything you ask of me. Whether that is administering medications, feeding three times a day, taking your dog for walks or just giving them the time and attention they deserve.
“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”
About: Hi! I'm the type of dog lover that will roll down my window and say things like, "Awww look at that good, sweet pup. You're such a good dog." if I see a dog with its head out the window. 🤣 I see a dog out walking, I have to meet it. Go to a dog shelter? I'm no longer allowed there - I want to bring them all home! Anyways, I absolutely adore dogs and know that they are family members who deserve love, time and proper care! My husband and I have 4 dogs that we love to run around in the backyard with and take for walks! We have a Bichon named Buddy who is 13, a St Bernard Mix named Sadie who is 11, a mini aussie named Kali who is 10, and another mini Aussie mix named Nora who is 3. They are the best of friends and the greatest companions through the highs and lows of life. I've also pet sat for friends and family over the years, including caring for cows! I am an animal lover, but dogs hold the largest piece of my heart. I would absolutely love to come and walk/play with your fur baby! My schedule is completely flexible! I'm here to make sure everything runs on your schedule! I'm currently working part time from home and create my own schedule. I run my own business and will always put your schedule and your pups first! Monday-Friday are absolutely free from 9am-5pm with nights available occasionally during the school year. Nights available now, until Aug 31st. I do not offer in home boarding at this time unless it is a small puppy. With 4 dogs and 2 kids, we have a full house already! I will stay at your house overnight if needed! Within your home, I care for your pets exactly how you ask + lots of extra love and pets and cuddles. Showing up when you need me to and staying the length of time you need is very important to me as I know it is for you and your pets as well. Their well-being and happiness will always be at the forefront.
“Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.”
“Anissa is amazing! Very reliable and made things so easy for us. It had been years since someone other than family watched our dogs, but Anissa quickly put all anxiety at ease. Our fur babies and home were very well cared for while we were away.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Experienced all ages and kinds. I’m also experienced in cat care as well as kittens. I’ve raised livestock since age 10! I relish human connections, but I have a deep passion for connecting with animals. I am highly adaptable when it comes to caring for your furry companion. I have a cat who needs his own space. I live in a large house with multiple levels and rooms, and I’m more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate him. My cat takes medication daily, and I’m knowledgeable about animal behavior.
“Ella was very good at giving updates and letting us know how things were going. She sent multiple pictures daily. I would definitely recommend and have her watch our dogs again.”
“Arica has watched our two senior huskies twice now and she is just awesome! Our old boy requires lots of medications and has some special needs and she’s so kind and gentle with him, making sure he gets some walks around the yard. Our old girl is still spunky and is tricky to give a pill, but Arica was quick to understand the best method and had no issues. She sent pictures, updates, and my old fluffs were so relaxed and happy when we came home. She made sure our house was ready for us as well. I recommend Arica to anyone who wants their pups in good hands while away. She’s wonderful.”
“Couldn’t have had a better first experience on Rover than we did with Jillian. She sent us frequent updates and photos. Definitely will be requesting her for our dog sitting needs next time we go out of town!”
“Mikayla did a fantastic job for us. We have two demanding dogs who crave attention and a new puppy. She was amazing with all of them and even stayed an extra night when our travel plans home changed because of our airline. We can't say enough good things about her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plainwell on Rover is $66.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 868 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plainwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Plainwell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Plainwell maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Plainwell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plainwell. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
