“It’s nice to go away and not have to worry about your pets .Its the third time I’ve used Mary Ann and she is punctual and keeps in touch with me .My house is always in perfect order when I come home 🙂”
“Elphie was happy & relaxed when we picked her up. Morgan was just amazing, we had a terrible 2 hr delay & she helped us tremendously by holding onto Elphaba a bit longer. Very much appreciated & will rebook if ever in the area again.”
“oh my gosh Victoria was AMAZING! The day we did our meet and greet, Victoria explained to us (as this was our first Rover sitter) exactly how the system works and how she works when she was pet sitting/checking on pets. We so appreciated the detailed information. More important than the instructions, our dog Scout would not leave her alone. He sat right in front of her the entire meeting and that spoke volumes to us - he trusted her. Victoria kept us constantly updated starting as soon as she got to the house. She sent us videos and pics of the boys to keep us up to date and informed. It was amazing knowing how our loved doggos were doing while we were gone. She left the house immaculately clean when she left too. I will HIGHLY recommend her and definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have cared for lots of different kinds of animals in the past. From puppies, elderly dogs, kittens, and older cats. I have no problem giving them medication or treatments they may need. I work at home so I will be able to walk and spend lots of time with your pet. If you have a set schedule for them I will be able to follow it to a T. I have a fenced in backyard so your dog will be able to run around safely. Also inside my screened area I have a pool, so if they like to swim supervised as well. And for cats that like the fresh outside area the backyard screen provides the perfect space. I have a cat at home but he likes to keep to himself so it’s no problem.
“My pup Ted couldn't have had a better time hanging with Maddie. We can't recommend her enough! Trusting, reliable, and so caring of our Ted. You can tell Maddie absolutely loves animals. Highly recommend!!”
“Raven was amazing!! Sent me daily updates, answered me almost immediately when I wanted to check on my puppy. She also had to administer medicine. I could relax on vacation because I knew Raven was handling everything!! Would book again!”
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter and yard cleanup, and giving medications when needed. I understand how important routines and trust are, and I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and responsive, with regular updates to keep owners at ease. I am retired and available anytime. I consider pet sitting to be my long lasting hobby. I do not consider it to be a job. I prefer not to sit pets in my home. I have 3 of my own between me and my sons. I prefer to keep your babies in their own environment.
“Amanda is awesome… We were nervous about having a stranger watch our Stella girl. But we found out almost immediately that we had picked the right sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
“Katelyn was great! I had a long list of details for my dog and Katelyn accommodated everything and was able to work with her when she was a little nervous and barking. She was very communicative and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Would definitely have her watch Rue again and would recommend to anyone that needed a dog sitter!”
“Carol provided my senior dog with love and affection. Engaging Carol's services was simple; Carol and I met face-to-face and introduced Violet. Carol was meticulous in explaining the program and we got along great. I wholeheartedly recommend her service!”
“Catalina was a wonderful sitter and my baby did great with her! They had snuggle time and she fed her on time too ! It was a great experience and she will definitely be the one I will call often !”

About: I’ve had pets by my side since I was 10 years old. Growing up with a Poodle taught me the ins and outs of high-intelligence breeds, grooming needs, and maintaining consistent routines. I am are also lucky enough to live right next to a dog park, making it incredibly easy to ensure your pup gets their daily dose of socialization and high-energy exercise. On the weekends, I am fully available for long walks and extra playtime. Whether your dog needs a quiet co-pilot while we work or an active weekend adventure, I’ve got them covered! I live in a closed, gated apartment complex with restricted entry, ensuring a safe and private environment for your pet during their stay. My neighborhood is notably quiet, making it an ideal "zen" space for anxious dogs or pets who prefer a calm, distraction-free environment.
About: I have been pet sitting for dogs, cats, and horses for years. I have administered shots, drugs for seizures and more. I have held dogs while have full seizures lasting over 20 minutes. I understand the importance of both mental and physical exercise and stimulation. I provide food games for dogs they require it. I am Fear Free certified. I am a Realtor who works from home. My schedule is very flexible. Dog walks, drop ins, over night stays and day care is always available. I have a walled in backyard for your furry babies to play. The backyard has foam mats for the dogs’ comfort. There is also a trampoline, weave poles, a ladder, kiddy pool, child’s play school house, Little Tykes outdoor climb, slides, stairs, walk across & buckets of balls for the dogs’ entertainment. Our lure kit just arrived! There is two floors to provide more space, there are normally at least 2 dogs and 2 cats to play with at all times. I live with someone who will also provide additional love and attention. All house guests are crated for feeding time, and if no one is home for the safety of all the animals. If you would like your your dog to go for a run, I take them on my roller blades. Our couch, bed, and additional dog beds are there for comfort. There are full water buckets on each floor, and toy bins in every room over flowing with toys the dogs have access to 24/7 unless they are crated. There is normally some sort of dog friendly tv playing at all times on at least one tv in the house for the dogs’ entertainment. I have stair treads on all stairs in the house for the comfort and safety of all the dogs...some dogs are afraid of stairs without carpet..such as my dog. All the dogs, no matter the size seem to enjoy the cat door. For the dogs that really like food, I feed them with slow feeders. Slow feeders provide mental stimulation, slow down how fast they eat, aid in a healthier digestive system and reduce gas. If you are interested in slow feeders for your dog, I sell them as well. When I am home I am able to do one Skype or FaceTime call per day and activity pictures upon request.

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+++
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 watched on senior german shepherd while we went on vacation this summer. Her care of Leo was nothing short of 5 stars. Her thoughtfulness through her stay and beyond is what truly makes her stand out. Would absolutely have her watch Leo again. He is family and it is so important for us to trust who we leave him with. Happy to say we’ve found just the right person.
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 💎
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!

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
