“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.”
“I’ve used Riley for our two fur-babies and love her!! Our babies stay overnight for a few days at a time while we travel and she communicates through out the day with messages. Pictures, and videos Definitely will continue using her services 💕”
“Marshall was a joy to meet, and was wonderful with our pups!! Puppies really warmed up to Marshall very quickly. He is great with dogs!! Highly recommend. Cash tip.”
“This is our 2nd time to have Jill here and she was just wonderful again!! She stayed at our house to take care of our dog and cat for 3 1/2 days. She continued to send pictures, communicate with us, and update us whet she was leaving for the end of the stay. She left such a detailed message upon leaving and made sure to see if we needed anything else first. She even took the cover off the bed and put it in the washer for me to do when we got home. Once again, highly highly recommend having Jill take care of your babies! (She was even wonderful with our human kids :)”
“Acacia took such amazing care of our pets and our home while we were out of the country for 8 nights! She was consistent and reliable and we could not be more pleased. She was incredibly thoughtful and even went out of her way to replace our vase with fresh flowers!! 🌼 100% recommend!!!”
“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! 🐾”
“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of our 3 fur babies while we were away for a few days. She gave us regular updates & the pups were healthy & happy when we got home. Highly recommend! ?”
“Jess was amazing!!! We were so nervous about leaving the cats for a few days but we were actually able to enjoy our vacation because of her ?? She sent us plenty of pictures and videos the whole time and we could really tell that the cats bonded with her ? Wish I could give more than 5 stars!”
About: I've had 4 dogs myself from puppies until 14 years of age. I've been through puppy training and obedience training with 3 of my dogs. I love playing with them and making sure they get the exercise they need. I love dogs and they love me. If I could rescue and care for all the dogs in shelters and pounds I would just so they would know what love is. I'm a major dog lover I am currently working full time at Target, five days a week. My days off vary week to week but I do get my schedule three weeks in advance. Most of my shifts are from 11:00am-6:30/7:00pm and one or two closing shifts of 1:30/2:00pm-10:00pm I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around and play. I have two teenage children who will help care for and love on your dog.
“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!”
“Nakia was absolutely wonderful with Luna! 🐾 Luna can be quite the sassy little Cockapoo and Nakia handled her with so much patience and love. She was communicative throughout the whole weekend and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. You could tell she genuinely cared about Luna’s wellbeing and not just going through the motions. I came home to a happy and well looked after pup which is all you can ask for! I will definitely be booking Nakia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, birds, hamsters, rabbits and even ducks. Besides the family pets, I had my own dog since he was 4 months and passed at 13 years, my own cat who was the feral barn cat turned domesticated & living with me until she passed at about 14 years and my own horse I had since I was 10 until he passed at almost 39 years old. I have been around all kinds of breeds and ages of dogs, all sizes, and even volunteered at a wolf sanctuary when I lived in NH. Animals are my love and passion. I work from home so I can be available anytime and be home with your fur babies all day. My schedule is flexible so I am readily available anytime. I know each pet is uniquely individual and you know your fur babies best. I follow all instructions explicitly as you set them and give daily updates with pictures. I know how hard it is leaving your pets home while you travel.
“I can’t say enough good things! Nina took such wonderful care of Shiner and Peanut while I was away. Both of my pups have their own unique quirks and needs. Shiner, with his protective streak and daily “sniffy” morning walks, and Peanut, with his special diet and independent personality, and Nina handled it all with patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I came home to two happy dogs, watered plants, and a spotless house. Nina kept me updated, followed all of the care instructions, and left everything tidy and comfortable for my return (even fresh linens waiting!). It’s such a relief to know my boys are safe and cared for when I’m gone. I would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful sitter who truly respects their home and pets. Thank you again, Nina gave me complete peace of mind!”
“This is my second time booking with Alicia, and she has been amazing both times! She always goes above and beyond with communication and sends plenty of pictures and updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She takes wonderful care of my dogs and is also very respectful of my home. I always come back to everything clean, cared for, and in great condition. I truly appreciate how reliable and thoughtful she is and would definitely book with her again!”
“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”
“Joo watched my pups for me for a 3 day weekend. He came over often and stayed a good while. He took my girls on lots of walks and kept me updated with photos. My pups were really happy and I would book with Joo again!”
About: I am dog owner of a golden retriever. I love teaching him new tricks all the time. I have worked very closely with other trainers to train dogs so I have expirence training dogs. I love taking the dogs to the dog parks. I usually walk everyday. I spend about 20 minutes training him every day and he loves it. Training is another way of showing your dog you love them and you are paying attention to them. So they love it. I also grew with my parents that have a farm with alot of differnt animals. They own 6 Great Pyraneese , goats, chickens, cats, pigs, and I have been peacocks. I have helped my parents raised them and feed them.

Kayla was great staying with our Zara for a couple days. My dog was a little unsure at first but Kayla stayed patient and gave her a chance to get settled! Zara seemed very content in all the pictures we got and as well after we got back. Kayla also took excellent care of our home. Will definitely be booking with her again!!
Riley was amazing! We took a 3 day trip and she stayed in our apartment to watch our dog and 2 cats and she was great. We received plenty of updates with lots of videos and pictures so I definitely feel like Riley took super good care of them, would definitely recommend her
This is my second time booking with Alicia, and she has been amazing both times! She always goes above and beyond with communication and sends plenty of pictures and updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She takes wonderful care of my dogs and is also very respectful of my home. I always come back to everything clean, cared for, and in great condition. I truly appreciate how reliable and thoughtful she is and would definitely book with her again!
Bridget and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our pups. They were even gracious enough to extend our booking by an extra day, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, healthy dogs that were clearly well cared for and comfortable while we were away. It's obvious they genuinely care about the animals they look after. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and look forward to booking them in the near future!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plano on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,610 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plano. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
