About: I am an exceptional choice for someone to take care of your pet(s). I am friendly, attentive, and respectful, always putting your pets safety and wellbeing first. I am a lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pitbulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. This is a fun fact, but when I was 16, my friends and I fundraised $2,000 within 3 days to donate towards a local shelter, including food, bedding, and other items. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. I wake up early, so I can do early morning walks, drop-ins, or house sit early in the morning. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I have my own backpack I could use. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that. I will also send you pictures/videos of your pet while you’re away if that helps you feel comfortable.

About: Hii i’m Isabele !! I’ve been around animals pretty much my whole life. I’ve cared for everything from dogs to rabbits to little rodents and more. Over the years, I’ve learned how to give dogs of all ages and personalities the best care possible. My love for animals lead to my career of Dog grooming!! I don’t just offer basic pet sitting—I can take your pup for fun walks, give them a good brushing or nail trim, and provide extra TLC for senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, making walks easier for older pups, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog is full of energy or just needs a gentle, quiet kind of care, I’m here to make sure they’re treated like one of my own. Pet care is part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I prioritize walking, exercising, and spending quality time with the dogs in my care. My schedule is flexible to accommodate both regular daily walks and occasional overnight stays, ensuring your pet gets consistent care. I work around your dog’s unique needs, whether that means a morning walk to start the day or mid-day check-ins. On a weekly basis, I also offer grooming services and playtime. With my routine, your dog gets a structured, loving experience every day. When caring for pets in my clients homes, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for them. I maintain your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, whether that involves feeding, playtime, or walks at specific times. I also make sure to offer plenty of affection and companionship to reduce any anxiety from being away from their owner. I’m always careful to follow any specific instructions you provide, whether that’s administering medications, managing special diets, or attending to specific needs for puppies or senior dogs. While I'm in your home, I also respect your space, keeping it clean and tidy, and I’m always available for updates and communication so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets, and I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior pets that need a gentler pace, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I plan my day around scheduled visits so I’m never rushing through their time. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I am very friendly and compassionate when it comes to animals. I have never been without a pet I’ ve had a dog since I can remember growing up my mom loved animals and I share that passion with her. If your beloved fur baby comes to stay with me they will go on regular walks with playtime outside on the porch. I am a stay at home mom so I have really nothing but time on my hands, especially when the kids are in school during the days and when they come home after dinner, we enjoy taking the dogs for a walk I have a fenced in yard and a French bulldog to keep your baby company and so they can have plenty of playtime she is very friendly and she loves to play.

About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.

I have a very needy and energetic Siberian husky so pet care is a huge priority of mine and I will be mindful of your dogs needs based on size, breed and personality.

About: I’ve had already 5 years with my own cats, currently I have 3 cats, I love more than anything in life! I also lived in Germany for 1 year and took care of one big dog 🐶 every day too! I also took care of a ferret for few months. I think the best part of taking care of pets is the love and connection you start to feel with them no matter the species, once they feel comfortable and they learn to like & love you, it’s the best reward of it all ❤️ On the weekends would be better for me! but if it’s a small dog or cats i could arrange it with my current work schedule easily. If i go to your home, I’d follow all the owner’s house rules, such as if they want me to have their pets in a specific environment, if they want me to take them for walks, their food schedule/routine, & anything relevant to their care/interests/preferences

About: I am an optometry student at NSU. I am away from home so having a pet to walk and be around will help with being away from home. I have a family dog I had to leave at home :(( In high school I would walk dogs after school and in college I would dog and cat sit all the time. I am not scared of big or little dogs. My sister had a cat growing up so I also love cats. I go to school from 8a-5p Monday through Friday. So I can be with pets before 8a and after 5p. But I am free all weekend! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure they get appropriate exercise and that their environment stays clean and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep the owner updated on how their pet is doing.

About: If you want your dog to have fun with a quality stay. I’m your sitter !! I have raised two puppies to full grown breeds. I have been caring for dogs since I was a kid. Before there was this app I would be the dog whisperer in my area 🤣 I love dogs! Everything from bathing to feeding to going to the park. Going on walks, nature walks grooming, training. You name it! I love bringing my dogs out. I don’t like restricting my pets! Because I believe they should see the world too! So I always have them around, outside and active. I previously owned two pit beauties, Bullet and Rocky. Unfortunately Bullet passed away. Gladly, Rocky we received shortly after, 4 years ago. Rocky the Rockstar!! Rocky is currently in Naples with my Aunt who’s also been madly in love with him since a puppy. My aunt is an extreme dog lover and begged to have him for a few months before she leaves to work over seas. So I am dog free :( I have open availability as I currently work from home. I have more than enough time to dedicate myself throughly and attentively to their needs. I am currently working part time at home. My work at home does not interfere with the care I will be providing or take time away. Pet care would be daily throughout the day. I normally watch friends pets when they are out of town as well so I am excited about making it a great past time. I will be taking the dog outside most of the day for playtime. My home is air conditioned as well. I provide overnight stays as well ! Outside family. Will take lots of walks in our dog park. Nice neighborhood and open back area. I live in a gated community so you can also be sure that your dog will be safe. There will be no contact with other dogs on our walks. We have access 24 to our dog park within our gated community! As I am not super strict on routine it is important for your dog to have an experience to look forward to. Being active is key to me even in between work. I appreciate being active. And so will your dog as well. 8:00 Morning Walk 8:45 Breakfast Leisure inside & or Play 12:00 Lunch 1:00- 2:30 Long Walk Leisure & or relax Dinner 4:00-5:00pm Dusk Walk 5:00-6:00pm 6:00 Leisure & Play (while I work **IF work day ) 9:30–10:00pm Late Night Walk Our home is your dogs home. Our home is Covid free. We pride in a healthy disinfectant environment. Floors and carpet will be cleaned. And fabrics and utensils are washed after every visit. They have the house or their desired space to sleep. With a bed and toys. Lots of room for them to roam and feel comfortable. Have their own play area as well. Would gladly take pictures and videos of your pups anytime for your comfort!!

I cannot say enough great things about Nathalya. She really came through for me and my animals. I had to be hospitalized unexpectedly due to a medical issue and had no one to care for my animals. Nathalya was able to make time to come feed them and spend time with them at the last minute for me. I’m very grateful and appreciative to her care for my babies. Could not recommend her enough!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Plantation

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Plantation is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 7,163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Plantation. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.
