“Marta and Marshall are fantastic. This was my first experience with Rover and they made me feel completely comfortable leaving my fur baby. Marta is quick to answer texts. She sent a photo every day we were gone too. The house was in perfect order when I returned. If my Sadie could talk, 100% she’d request Marta and Marshall again. I will certainly be using Rover in the future and hope to book with Marta and Marshall.”
“Jill was INCREDIBLE!!! She was so great to us and our girls- especially since we had travel issues getting home and she made sure they were taken care of. 11/10 would recommend and will be using again!!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great! On time, communication was consistent, picked up mail and packages left outside. I was able to focus on my trip knowing my dog was in good hands. I will book Jessica again.”
“Heather is was wonderful with Bruce! This was my first time using Rover and it could not have gone any better. He takes an oral medication every evening and Heather made me feel reassured and send me photos everyday while I was away. Absolutely will be using Heather again.”
About: I have a Russian blue and a Siberian husky. I love cats and dogs and have taken care of them since 11 years old 🫶🏾 I’m a full time student but when I’m free i would love to hang out with some of our little best friends and make some change while doing so. For me, safety is always first. Professionalism and etiquette will always be maintained and going above and beyond what I’m obligated to do is never an issue when considering the wellbeing of others and or pets.
About: I've taken care of dogs for about four years now. I first started when my roommate left for Korea for about a month. I've always had an affinity towards dogs so taking care of his dog made me want to take care of other dogs as well. Ever since then, I've been able to take care of 18 other dogs. Whether it be playing with your pets or walking them around or going potty, I have everything covered! I have time to take care of your pets on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between the times of 11:30 AM to midnight. Also, Saturdays I am free whenever. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of attention. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
“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.”
“Kayla is an awesome pet sitter! I just got back from a weekend conference out of town. Kayla took care of my two Havanese, Leela and Button while I and my husband were on separate trips. I received daily updates and Kayla was quick to respond back to me when I checked in with her about how things were going. When I got back home, I could tell that Kayla had taken excellent care of my dogs and my home. We even had a little storm pop up while I was gone and the outside patio table and umbrella were overturned, breaking a piece of pottery that was on the table. Kayla let me know immediately what had happened, sent me pictures of the damage, and cleaned up the mess. I was very appreciative I had someone so considerate taking care of my pets and my home. Leela and Button hope that Kayla will stay with them again the next time their mom needs to go out of town.”
“Just got home from our weekend away to a very happy dog and nice clean home. Sheridan did a great job giving updates throughout our trip making it very easy for us to relax knowing our dear pet was well cared for. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Josh is great! He is respectful and responsible. Josh provided pictures of walks with our dog and closed gates which was reassuring to us while we were away. Our home was clean and tidy upon return. I highly recommend Josh and hope to book him in the future.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
“I hired Destiny to watch my dog for two days for a few hours while I attended a function. She was quick to respond, very accommodating to my changing schedule, and super sweet. She also sent pictures of my dog, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her services! Thanks again!”
“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!!!!!!”
About: Dogs require more energy in comparison to other animals. I have taken care of and trained puppies to adults. I am specialized in feeding, grooming, bathing, and giving medications to dogs! I’m currently working a part-time job which leaves lots of room for animal care! I enjoy surrounding myself with loving animals and am always available to commute! As I will only be able to care for pets in clients’ home's, I feel as though respecting the clients requests and boundaries are the most important. Communication and building a relationship is the key to creating a loveable sitter for your pets!
About: I raised my poodle/chihuahua mix Suba for almost 3 years and she’s just the sweetest. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies and/or precious belongings. I am currently doing house and pet sitting full time until the end of the June and I have been enjoying this new passion of mine! When caring for pets in my or the owners home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets are treated as a part of family. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any medications or special instructions provided by the owner. I send regular photo and video updates so owners have peace of mind while away.
About: I have 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets with genuine care and attention. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. I'm also comfortable with cat/kitties, puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra TLC. Working remotely with flexible hours means I'm home most of the day, but have log certain hours at my office. so I can easily fit walks, playtime, and feeding around my own schedule without leaving a pet alone for long stretches I care for pets in the client's home, since I offer pet sitting and dog walking services. That way your pet stays in their own familiar environment, which keeps their routine and stress levels as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any special needs — and I'm happy to send updates and photos while you're away.

Very communicative and attentive. David did an in home stay with my cat for 4 nights. He provided photos and updates at least once per day. He spent a considerable amount of time with the cat and the house looked great when I came back home. I recommend David for pet care.
We absolutely loved having Kristi care for our little Yorkie princess! She was so caring, loving, and attentive, and it was clear our girl was in great hands. She kept us updated throughout, communicated wonderfully, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She also left the house spotless! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving with their pets. We will book her again in December!
Justin stayed in our home and cared for our boston terrier for over a week. He is very knowledgable about dogs and knows how to care for them properly. He took care of our dog as if she was his own. Justin did a fantastic job caring for our pet while we were away and we will definitely want to book him again in the future! Thank you Justin!
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!!
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.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
