“Chelsea watched my 14 year old dog for a weekend while I was away. I think he enjoyed it so much I have never seen him act better! Highly recommend if you have an older dog or one that needs a bit more attention!”
“Sarah and Justin and super! They love your dog just like their own! Great about providing updates and pictures! Our doggie came home happy as could be! Will definitely book again!”
“Emily was exceptional with Lovely. She sent several videos of Lovely to me during her stay. I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with Emily and would certainly book with her again.”
“My Mack had an amazing time with Kristens pups and family. She took great care of my boy especially with the medication he has been taken and keeping me updated with it. I loved getting all the photos and videos of my pup playing in the snow or just taking a snooze. Mack will definitely be back!”
“Bill and his wife are so good with our baby and always send us a daily picture of how he is doing. We are always confident of his safety and happiness while he is there! We have used them several times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Tracy was amazing with our senior dog, Fezzick! He wasn’t used to being away from us so I was hesitant to leave him with anyone. Tracy updated us regularly and provided lots of pics which helped ease our anxiousness. She helped Fezzick during his time away from us and helped ease his anxiety too. I won’t hesitate to book Tracy for Fezzick’s next stay. Plus, she and her husband were super friendly!”
“Christine provided excellent dog sitting services! She's great at communicating and very responsive. Her friendly demeanor and lovely home with a large fenced yard were perfect for our dog. We'll definitely use her again for any future dog sitting needs. She gave us great peace of mind while our family was on vacation. Highly recommended!”
“Celsei and “team” were amazing!! Rudi had fun!! It’s like he was on vacation too with his new friends!! We are from out of town so having Rudi stay with Celsei was a blessing. She communicated regularly which was wonderful peace of mind. When we come back, Celsei will be our first pick!!”
“Yvette took care of our cats while we were away for almost 2 weeks and she was great! She sent pictures along the way and was super easy to communicate with. We always knew how the were doing, whether hiding under the bed or snuggling with her girls for a nap. The cats came home happy and we will definitely be calling Yvette again in the future/.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She was so sweet and kept me updated the entire time with tons of pictures and messages. Cooper had an absolute blast at her house, especially playing with her dog. It made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Wonderful care for my two pups while on vacation. I could tell by the updates and pics Julie sent me that my boys were happy and comfortable. So appreciative of your communication and flexibility.”
“We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care Sam provided for our elderly cat, Topo. What began as a week-and-a-half pet sit extended into over three weeks due to a new job opportunity and a cross-country move. Throughout this entire period, Sam's support was invaluable. Sam's dedication to his role was evident in every interaction. He was not only a great communicator but also incredibly patient with us as we adjusted and extended our bookings. He consistently sent daily and weekly updates, ensuring we were always in the loop about Topo's well-being.Caring for an elderly pet, especially one as attached as our "five-class clinger," requires a special touch, and Sam delivered with professionalism and compassion. He ensured Topo never felt lonely and provided her with the company and care she needed. The responsibility of looking after someone else's beloved pet is no small task, but Sam handled it with grace and capability. If we could give him ten stars, we would. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. We truly cannot thank him enough for his outstanding service.”
“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Tilmer and his family! He had fantastic communication, and photos everyday with an update! I felt like my pup truly fit into their family and was so well loved over her week stay! Next time I go out of town I won’t have to even think about where my fur baby will stay, Tilmer!!”
About: I have watched dogs both young and old. They are truly beautiful animals, and I love being around them. I know how to communicate with them and make them feel comfortable and loved:) Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work approximately 10 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to care for animals and love on them. My life is pretty simple and uncluttered so being able to care for your animal would be a perfect fit for both me and your pet. I live in the country on 2.5 acres. My 2,300 square foot house is open concept and there is plenty of room for pets to roam. There are many large windows to look out and watch the wildlife. I love to take walks and there is next to no traffic in my area. My spare room has a large tree house for cats to enjoy.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life — my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I will be available three days a week. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Danielle was so awesome, she arranged a meet up with us beforehand so our dog would know her and her lovely dogs when he went for his sleepover! Danielle sent us messages and photos of Austin's stay which made us feel so happy 😊 Austin cant wait for his next sleepover at Danielle's!”
“Maelynn did a great job watching our dog! Our pup and hers became fast friends, and Maelynn gave us periodic updates that eased any of my worries about our pup staying somewhere new.”
“Melinda was amazing! She dog sat our senior dog w medication needs, poor hearing and eye sight and was outstanding! She provided updates, photos and peace of mind allowing us to enjoy our visit to Nashville, IN. Looking for a rockstar sitter - look no farther - Melinda is the best!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Plano can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Plano home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Plano.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plano. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
You and your Plano sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
