“Having to be away from my 16 yr old mini schnauzer is so stressful for me . However, once I met Marta & she shared her own experience she had when her 19 yr old fur baby passed away , a weight was lifted from my shoulders. She had more experience caring for a senior dog than I have . She kept me updated on Bailey & assured me that he was doing well . I was able to enjoy my time away from home . I will not hesitate to reschedule her again !”
“Stephany is hand down one of the best!!! She is not only kind but very professional! She takes good care of the dogs and follow all the instructions! I love her”
“Molly was absolutely amazing. She communicated clearly and provided daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also fully prepared to administer medications to our two senior dogs without any issues. All of our babies clearly loved her, and we came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided! 🐾”
“Kaitlin is a fantastic dog sitter! She kept in touch with my roommate while I was in Australia, which I really appreciated. She took great care of both my dog and our home! I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such great hands.”
“Alex was a great sitter for Winston and Simba! She communicated really well leading up to and throughout the sit. We’re so happy that Winston had someone to take him on walks and play games to keep him stimulated while we were away. Thanks for taking great care of our boys!”
“Rachel came for our meet and greet and the dogs were very receptive to her. We have a Golden Retriever and a Terripoo and both dogs looked well taken of upon our return. The house was in good order when we returned from our vacation. She is a delightful young woman.”
“Rachelle was absolutely incredible! We were so nervous leaving our sweet dog while away and she went over the top making sure he was well taken care of. She continuously updated us throughout each day with pictures and notes about how the day was going. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in such great hands while out of town. Rachelle stayed in our home with him and we will 100% use her services again. Thank you!!!!!!”
“David did a wonderful job dog sitting in our house with our energetic golden retriever. He communicated with us daily while we were away and send pictures which was great! We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Would highly recommend and definitely will use David again in the future.”

Both are our dogs were calm and happy when we came back which shows what a great job jessica did. She Followed all the house and dog instructions and we would hire her again in future for our pups. She was a delight to work with.”
“I would highly, highly recommend Kristie! She did such an amazing job with our dog Josie, who had just lost her sister a few days before we went away. Kristie made sure that Josie was comforted and had all the extra love and care so she didn't feel lonely. We also received daily pictures and updates so we knew Josie was well taken care of. Having lost a dog before we left, we were uneasy about leaving Josie behind. But Kristie made us feel 100% like Josie was in the best hands and we knew she genuinely cared for her like she was her own. That was very meaningful to us. And, when we returned home, Kristie left a very thoughtful gift for us, which was a plant in memory of the dog we had just lost. I can't say how much that meant to us. Again, highly, highly recommend Kristie!”
“Izzy watched our herd while we were out of the country for a week. She was great! The dogs and cats were happy and the house was perfect when we got back. We will of course rebook with her in the future.”
“Roua was great! I highly recommend her. We have two large dogs that can be over whelming for most people. When we got home, the house was clean and our dogs looked happy & seemed well exercised. My husband and I use Roover several times a year and have had both good and bad experiences so we were grateful to found Roua.”
“Loved Kristin! She is very aware of the house surroundings that make my dogs feel comfortable. I love that Kristin had bed time with my Cavapoo dog that sleeps with me! I will advocate and trust Kristin with anyone’s dogs. She is very attentive, she communicated via text quick, and absolutely affectionate to my dogs. Thank you Kristin!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, since I was in high school. I am very patient and respectful of your pet’s boundaries. I can do all of the basics for pet care, such as feeding, walking and playtime. I am also comfortable with giving pet’s their medication. I’m a college student looking for a summer job, to help pay for my tuition and expenses! This will be a great stress reducer. I am very patient and respectful of an animals boundaries. Sometimes, pets don’t want to be bothered when meeting new people, and that’s fine!
“We had a great experience with Rebecca. She was caring, responsible, and very attentive to our pet’s needs. She came along with her daughter, who was equally gentle and respectful, and together they made our pet feel comfortable and loved. It was reassuring to know our pet was in safe and kind hands. We truly appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly pet sitter.”
“We had Kennedy house/dog sit for a few hours in preparation for a couple of vacation trips, and we think we have a good one in Kennedy! She shows up 5 mins early (like that) and our dog Wiley is very happy to be greeted by her happy personality. Kennedy has our confidence that our home and dog will be in good, caring hands.”

Adrienne was the epitome of what you would want and expect with a dog sitter. She is reliable, detail oriented and asked all the right questions prior to her taking care of my two Great Pyreness. We LOVED Adrienne! I truly was able to enjoy my vacation and not have to be concerned about how my boys were doing. She was communicative and knew when to take on walks, especially with the Texas heat upon us, and balanced this equally with their feeding schedules, treats, and even bedtime routines. I am very selective on who cares for my boys and I wouldn’t hesitate on booking with her again! ❤️✈️🌴⭐️
Holden did an amazing job with my two very energetic girls! He was super communicative and extremely mindful of the different needs of each dog. I came home to a cleaner house than I left and my girls clearly had a good time! It can be hard to find someone you trust with your babies but I will absolutely book with Holden again! Thank you, Holden!
Allison always does an amazing job with our pups. This was probably a longer trip than we’ve taken away from them so I was naturally a nervous wreck leading up to it, but as soon as Allison was with them I knew they were in great hands. Thank you Allison for caring for our girls!
We booked Kennedy for overnight stays to watch our dood for over a week while we were on vacation. She sent bedtime, morning, and afternoon photos to let us know that she was checking in on him while going out to visit other dogs during the day. The house was the most clean upon arrival home compared to other sitters we've had in the past. We could tell Murphy was at ease throughout her stay and that she walked him/played with him enough based on his energy when we got home. She seemed to follow our detailed instructions well and even watered my plant and stripped the bed before leaving. Would definitely book again. Thank you Kennedy!
Always so easy to work with Marta and Marshall. I love that I can be away without worrying that my pup is in great hands. I also trust that Marta and Marshall will reach out with questions when necessary. When I arrive home, everything is in order and my dog is happy and healthy.
Janelle was absolutely amazing! She kept me consistently updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy Nyx struggles with separation anxiety, and Janelle handled it with so much care, patience, and understanding. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Nyx and my other dog Eros were comfortable and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.
David did a wonderful job dog sitting in our house with our energetic golden retriever. He communicated with us daily while we were away and send pictures which was great! We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Would highly recommend and definitely will use David again in the future.
Jonathan was fantastic! He loved on our babies and made us feel secure in knowing they were taken care of. He went the extra mile in caring for them and kept everything tidy while staying in our home. Communication was several times with pictures while we were away. You won’t regret asking him to take care of your precious pets!
Jaz was an amazing sitter! I had total peace of mind while I was away knowing my pets were so well cared for. I have an older pup and two cats, and she handled everyone with such kindness and attention. She sent daily updates that really reassured me, and even my shy cat came to cuddle near her.. which says a lot about how safe and comfortable he must have felt. I would love to use her services every time I’m out of town. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Plano
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plano on Rover is $44.94 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,729 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plano. 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 Plano 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 Plano 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 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!
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.

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.
