“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 💕”
“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!”
“Tug just loves Stephany. And she handles my 75 pound pitbull like a pro. He can be anxious when we go but is not anxious when she is here. And she loves him back - all things are good….clean house, respectful of our space but honestly, it is how she genuinely loves our dog that makes all the difference. Thank you”
“Zoila was great with my dog Tristan, got pictures when I wanted/needed them on my trips and I could easily tell that Tristan was loved and was given the attention that he needs. Can't wait to rebook for all my future trips”
“Laurie was amazing while watching my two dogs! She kept me updated and my dogs seemed so happy when I got home. My house was also spotless when I got back! Would definitely hire her again!”
“This was our second time using Jess and she was great!! Responsive and sent great pictures. Jess stayed in our home both times and most recently it was a longer stay. Our pets were well taken care of and we felt at ease. Thank you, Jess!”
“A great help to our crazy dog, super patient and attentive! Gave updates, reassured us with pictures that she was doing well, and was very accommodating with her schedule. Would absolutely recommend and use for future services!”
About: From English Bulldogs to Great Pyrenees, Ive taken care of them all!! I have had cats and dogs all of my life. I take care of any animal like they're my own. My care for pets goes beyond the casual care. Your pet is my truly my highest priority and will do anything to show them the love they deserve. I work full time at a veterinary hospital as a CSR and currently in an online college program to become a veterinary Technician in the future. My weekends I spend studying mostly but would love to make some money on the side to pay for classes. I will introduce myself to them (as I am complete stranger) and try to gain trust. Slowly but surely is the process. Then, i will attend to their needs. If they need to potty, we go outside. If hungry, lets eat! Play time- lets do it! I will follow instructions as given by the client. I am able to follow medication procedures and timings for everything. I really want to do the best for you animal as thats what they deserve.
“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!”
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.
“My husband and I were first-time Rover users and were very nervous about using this app. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and caring with both our pets and with me throughout the entire stay. She handled my questions and check-ins with professionalism and kindness, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She stayed at our home and took great care of everything, including both our dog and cat. What stood out most was how comfortable our dog became with her. Luna is usually very cautious around new people and can be nervous around strangers, so seeing her warm up so quickly was huge for us. It was clear that Luna trusted her and felt safe in her care. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that had been looked after. We are so grateful for all of her help and the peace of mind she provided during our trip. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”
“Maria exceeded all of our expectations. She took videos and photos of our babies which helped our nerves tremendously. She’s so sweet and attentive with them, took everything we told her and doubled it. And on top of that, our babies adore her. Highly highly recommend her :)”
“Louann was great with our elderly Lab & high energy Boston! It was so nice to go on vacation and have the peace of mind that our dogs were being treated so well! She came before we left so dogs could have an easier transition to our leaving & was flexible with our later arrival back home. Will definitely have her back to love on our babies, again!”
“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 have 8 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for dogs of all personalities and sizes. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who need playtime and attention, as well as dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I believe in providing a safe, patient, and loving environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and keeping your dog on their usual routine. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own and make sure they get plenty of love while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I can coordinate visits, walks, and pet-sitting around your dog’s needs and routine. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance to find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family member! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, boundaries, and needs. I’ll also keep you updated during their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving attentive, loving care.
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)”
“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!”
“Juno had an amazing stay, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. It was clear she was treated with kindness, attention, and plenty of love, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We received great updates throughout the stay, and came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed dog. We would absolutely book with Wilson again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy Rover sitter.”

Riley was excellent. Look no further if she is available. She stayed at our house and looked after multiple dogs and my cats. She was very communicative sending both video and pics. My dogs and kitties were well taken care of. Will be using her again in the future for sure.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Plano is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 per night. 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 4,451 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plano. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
