“Lexie was very kind and willing to help us on short notice during an unexpected family emergency, and I really appreciated her flexibility. There were a couple of times when I needed to provide reminders about their established routines, particularly the dogs’ potty schedule, so they didn’t have to go long periods between breaks. However, everything ultimately worked out. My senior dog also has additional medical needs, and she was consistent about making sure he received his medication every morning and night which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She also sent update photos which was appreciated. Overall, I’m grateful she was able to help us during a very challenging week. Thank you, Lexie!”

“I can't say enough good things about Kara! She went above and beyond while taking care of my dog, Luna, and my two cats. Not only did she shower them with attention and make sure all their needs were met, but she also took the initiative to clean up very well after herself and the pets, and even gave Luna a bath! I came home to a spotless house and a happy, clean dog. I received multiple pictures and videos every day with clear communication. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will be rebooking, and so far she’s the only one in the area i have thought that about. Loved!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plantation
First time using Rover and could not have made a better choice by finding Rosa. She was beyond wonderful, felt very comfortable having Rosa stay in our home and care for our dogs. Came home to a clean home and happy pups, they miss her already. Highly recommend and will be booking again for all future travels! A+++
Yasmine was amazing with Oliver! She took great care of him and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated every step of the way with messages and picture updates, which I really appreciated. She also treated my home with so much respect and left everything just as I had it. I could tell Oliver was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!
Mariana is great with dogs and all animals , she loves them and take care of them like they are her own. She stayed at our home for 4 days and took care of our animals, my dogs love her , I have a Yorkie and a big dog (mix ) so she’s great with both sizes and personalities. I recommend her !! Definitely will book her again.
Stephanie went absolutely above and beyond for my dog Nikita. She was incredibly responsive, filled my inbox with pictures, and was very clean when she was boarding my house. You could just tell she cared for Nikita and loves what she does. I have used other pet stores before and she blew everyone out of the water. I will definitely be using her again and I recommend anyone that really cares for their pet do the same.
I have never left my dogs with anyone and was nervous in the beginning. I didn’t know how my dogs would react to a sitter but that all changed when we hired Ryan. We have 2 older dogs and he handled them both so well. He’s kind, compassionate and experienced. He was very patient with both dogs which makes all the difference when you have an older dog. I know he did a great job because they ended up loving him after a couple of days. I would recommend him over and over again and will use him in the future for sure.
Melissa was amazing! She took such great care of my pets and my home while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe, happy, and getting tons of love. The frequent update videos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. I will 100% be booking Melissa again—she’s truly a gem 💎
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Crystal. While I was out for the evening, she went above and beyond to make sure George was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She took him on multiple walks, spent quality time playing with him, and kept me consistently updated on how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the moment I got home that George had a wonderful time—he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. He truly enjoyed her company and has already made a new friend. I would absolutely trust Crystal again and look forward to having her watch George in the future. Highly recommend!
Adrianna is an excellent dog sitter! I have two rescue dogs, one is mine and one a foster and she was incredibly patient, allowing them to warm up and build trust at their own pace. She treated my dogs and my home with great care, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her, especially for anyone with rescue pups. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plantation on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,520 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plantation. 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 Plantation 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 Plantation 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 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!
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 Plantation. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
