“We’ve had Miki watch our cats several times and each time she does an excellent job. She treats our cats as her own and we can tell they always have a great time. We always joke that our cats get their own “mini-vacation” when Miki is watching them 🙂”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Im a huge animal lover. I lost both my dogs in the past couple years and haven't got another one. Loving on someone else's pet is the next best thing.. right?! I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time and plenty of love to share with my 4 legged friends! I've been dog sitting/house sitting for my neighbors and love ever minute of it. If I am at my house, I don't current have dogs. I have a fenced in yard.
“Nina was amazing! She was communicative and I felt so comfortable leaving my two cats in her care. She sent lots of pics and my apartment looked great when I got home! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be asking her to watch my pets again. ?”
“Vicki gave extra special attention to Cinder Lou even though he would not come out of his hidey hole in the closet. She spoke to him and called him by name as well as giving his treats and bringing a toy for him. I know it made a difference that he knew someone was there talking to him and keeping his food and water fresh and his box clean. Vicki is loving, caring and intuitive lady who gives attention to every detail and I'm so lucky I found her!”
About: As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a potty break, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same love and patience I give my own pets. I’m dependable, attentive to detail, and committed to following your instructions closely. I also love providing updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!

I’m primarily available Monday through Friday during the morning and early afternoon hours, making me a great fit for midday walks, potty breaks, feeding, and drop-in visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to making pet care a regular part of my routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone entering your home and caring for your furry family members. I carefully follow all instructions, respect your home and your pet’s routine, and make sure doors and gates are securely closed. During walks, I prioritize leash safety and pay close attention to my surroundings. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, attentive care!

About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life.

“Alexis was great about agreeing to work with me on short notice. She gave great care to my cat, playing with her and respecting when she wanted space. She did a great job keeping me updated and responding quickly. Definitely recommend her!!”
“Yung was absolutely amazing! She cared for both my cat and my bird as if they were her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving, capable hands. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away. I came home to two happy, healthy pets and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 🐱❤️🐦 5 stars all the way!”
“Jade is patient with my very timid boxer, and we hope this is the start of a beautiful new relationship. She just did a lunch drop-in today and sent us several pics, which helped us feel at ease and very hopeful that our girl will have a new bestie in Jade. ♥️”
“I wish I could give more than a 5 star review! My babies were so well loved while I was out of town. I got pictures and updates every day. Jingyi was a consummate professional and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the care I bring to every dog I meet. Growing up, I spent years volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I learned how to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. More recently, I cared for my own senior dog, Oatmeal, through his cancer journey, which taught me even more about patience, compassion, and the importance of making every dog feel safe and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them that way. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive personalized attention and care while you're away. As mentioned above, I have personal experience with dogs with medical needs. This includes dogs with amputated limbs or dogs that have a strict schedule for medicine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I’m available to watch dogs for weekends or extended weekends! We have no pets in the home and are able to watch multiple dogs at a time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your dogs to run! With easy access to walking trails, I am happy to take your dogs for walks during the day to try to stick to their normal routine. I also have dog beds, toys, and food and water bowls available to use.

“Fernando is amazing! We definitely recommend him. Will book him again. My little one did so well with him. He is just the best. He gave her the love and attention she needed on her first time apart from us. Ten stars. Thank you.”
“Braylee came to care for our outdoor cat and spent time calling for her and sitting with her while she eats. She was great with her communication and provided many pictures to keep us updated while out of town. We looked forward to the updates daily.”

Kassidy was truly the most amazing pet sitter! She was so attentive to both our critters, and she kept us updated so well! She truly went above and beyond the expectations that we had for pet sitting. We have a bit of a territorial dog, and Kassidy did an amazing job of tailoring to our puppy's needs. Will 100% be booking again!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plano is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,542 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plano. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Plano 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Plano with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
