We had a wonderful experience with Catherine! She was reliable, accommodating, and kept me posted with great communication throughout. She took excellent care of our cats, especially making sure our kitty who needs special medication was well looked after. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!

About: As a lifelong pet owner, caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's a part of who I am! I'm naturally attentive and compassionate, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether it's sticking to routines, giving extra cuddles or making sure they feel safe while you're away, I'm committed to providing thoughtful, loving care. Even with a full-time job, I have a flexible, autonomous schedule that makes it easy for me to prioritize pet care during my day. I genuinely enjoy stepping away for walks or drop-ins. It's something I look forward to, not just fit in. Your pet will always get attentive, unhurried care! I deeply respect the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. When I'm in your space, my focus is entirely on your pet's care. I'm conscientious, respectful of your space and privacy, and always leave your home just as I found it.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I had the privilege of loving and caring for my own dog for 15 years, which taught me the importance of patience, routine, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, overnight care, or a safe place to stay while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I'll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and affection. My schedule is flexible, making it easier to accommodate your needs, and my home is currently pet-free, allowing me to provide your pet with a calm environment and my full, individualized attention. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by providing dependable care, clear communication, and regular photo updates so you always know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I'm committed to being a dependable and trustworthy caregiver for your furry family member. My schedule is flexible throughout the week and on weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs whenever possible. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, or care while you're away, I'll do my best to provide reliable, loving care that gives you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I currently do not have any pets at home, which allows me to give your furry friend my full attention in a calm and focused environment. I also have a backyard space available for safe outdoor time and play. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, especially senior pups who need extra patience, gentleness, and love. Growing up, I had two senior dogs, a 17 year old Poodle and a 15 year old Shih Tzu, so I’m very familiar with caring for older dogs, understanding their routines, and recognizing when they need a little extra support or comfort. I currently have a one-year-old Shih Tzu who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, so I’m experienced with both young, energetic dogs and calmer, older companions. I truly treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time but only three days a week, which gives me great flexibility for drop ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to follow your dog’s specific routine, whether that means quiet walks, playtime, medication schedules, or just extra cuddles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority, and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby 💕 I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re busy or away. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and my dog Momo provides gentle companionship for dogs who enjoy being around other pets and friendly playtime together.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, etc! I love to have play time with my dogs and take them and my cats on walks!! I’m able to come visit your pets day, afternoon, evening, and night! Unfortunately I can’t board any since I have a lot! I have a lot of time during the days! I’m free weekdays and weekends! I can make sure if any mess is made by the animals I will clean it, or If you’d like a little pickup around the house, do not hesitate to ask! I’m good at cleaning and quite enjoy it too!

About: Lifelong dog lover and current med student here! Raised alongside a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six, I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for pups. My medical training makes me exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and calm under pressure, while my inner kid just wants to provide the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I’m a med student taking a gap year to study for my Step 1 exam. Since I study from home nearly 24/7, your pup will have constant companionship, a quiet environment, and endless study-break cuddles!. I’ve raised and loved a Cockapoo and a Goldendoodle since I was six years old, so dog care is second nature to me. Living right in Las Olas, I offer a premium, ultra-reliable, and highly attentive environment. My medical background means your pet is in the safest, most responsible hands possible!

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine life without them! I currently have an 11 year old diabetic kitty and a 4 year old corgi! I love both like my own children! Between insulin injections twice a day and giving my corgi the attention she needs I feel so fulfilled to give them the love and care they deserve. I woke from home with a very flexible schedule! I can pop in for play time, walks, potty breaks or spend more time if there’s WiFi! I always ensure to ask detailed questions to the pet owner about the pet’s habits, environment, preferences, etc. I am also always respectful of the pet owner’s wishes and directions while maintaining pet safety.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for 14 years 🐶 (to my boy Michael Thomasz who is now in doggie heaven 🙏🏼). After his very difficult passing on the family, I volunteered at different animal shelters and rescues bringing awareness to dog adoption and quality care. I decided to create a legacy in Mikey’s name so our love for him may keep on growing in the care for other dogs. I love and care for all dogs deeply as if they were my very own! They are part of the family and they all have a personality of their own! I have experience and expertise caring for special needs and gentle love and patience to give to senior dogs. I focus on a cage-free environment and personalized attention, unlike other dog caretakers. Dogs may not talk but they DO communicate 😃 I am attentive to details to ensure I am providing a safe space full of love and everything they need. I am First Aid and CPR Certified. I am open to get directions on how your loved one behaves, likes, dislikes and anything else I can do to make their stay pleasant and memorable. I provide updates on the actions taken such as feeding, walking and daily activities as well as accommodate pictures and video calls to ensure you have peace of mind. I welcome hearing suggestions and feedback as this is a positive and healthy environment ✨ Check me out with a discount! Promo Code: BETTYV61589 I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preference in day and times. I prioritize my furry clients and ensure I provide them with uninterrupted quality time during your booking. I am home based for daycare and hotel services. I have a designated exclusive area for your pup and it is cleaned every day to ensure your furry baby is in a comfortable and clean space. I wash and sanitize all the covers, blankets, toys and any other supplies that are used with our dogs. Each dog gets their own clean supplies at the beginning of their stay for daycare and hotel stays. • If I am visiting your home during drop-in visits, I’ll be sure to clean up any doggie messes before I leave. • For walks, I am fully equipped with bags and additional leashes. • I also heavily rely on pet hair rollers to ensure we are hairball free (as much as possible anyway!) • For the safety of our dogs, I ensure all designated doggie areas are free of clutter or other items that may fall on them or cause them any harm.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m a true animal lover, and I especially have a soft spot for cats! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats, through both professional pet care and private pet-sitting. Over the years, I’ve built lasting relationships with many families who trusted me to care for their pets whenever they traveled. My services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, enrichment, administering basic care, lots of love and attention, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. If requested, I’m also happy to help with light home care, such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, and tidying up before you return. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, compassionate care so both you and your furry family members feel comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Please contact me for more details! I work full-time as a therapist and am also a mom to an 8 month old, but I have a flexible schedule and am able to make pet care work with proper planning. I am available for visits before and after my work hours, as well as on certain weekdays and weekends depending on the week. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain a reliable routine and communicate clearly about availability. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs are fully covered and that they receive consistent, attentive care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away. I aim to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I am mindful of keeping doors secured, following safety instructions carefully, and ensuring pets are always supervised during visits. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience for both pets and their owners.

It was a pleasure to have Nicole care for my senior-sweetie cat, Gracie. Nicole was attentive to Gracie's needs, such as administering medication, engaging in play, and of couse feeding and watering on schedule. Nicole clearly loves pets and was able to bring my shy Gracie out of her shell as seen in the pictures she posted for every visit. I strongly recommend Nicole for your pet sitting needs. She was dependable, thoughtful and sensitive to the needs and personality of of my precious kitty Gracie!

We recently moved and needed to find a new dog walker after years with the same person for our boy, Zeus. He is a senior, stubborn old man, and doesn't trust easily. From the moment Stephanie walked in the door, Zeus was in love! Not only can she get him to go out for walks, but he brings his toys to her and waits for her to pet him after their walks. We are thrilled with Stephanie and can't wait to have her back to see Zeus! Highly recommend.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Plantation

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Plantation on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 7,201 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plantation. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plantation stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Plantation 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Plantation 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 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.
