“Crystal was amazing. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear right away how knowledgeable and kind she is. She kept them on their normal schedule and routine, which is huge for us, and she was super communicative and helpful the entire time we were away. It was such a relief being able to go on vacation and not worry about the dogs at all. We’d 100% book with her again and HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Abbie was amazing! So sweet & communicative the whole time I was away from KoKo. She gave me so much peace of mind and left everything tidy and clean at my home. She even drew the cutest picture of my baby as a parting gift. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of a sitter & am definitely booking with her again!”
“Mikayla was amazing. She took care of our little guy for a couple days and he loved her!! She was responsive and sent us updates throughout the day. Our flight was delayed and she was available to stay with him an extra night which was lifesaving. We 100% would recommend her.”
“Charlene was wonderful with our animals and sent plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I have had dogs in the past. Some from shelter and or rescues. While having dogs in the past, I have learned a few tricks of training them. Never, like ever allow a dog to pulled: My first dog (unexperienced at that time) pulled me toward a flock of geneses. From that moment I realize I did not like to be pulled by dogs that do not know how to navigate the walk. That didn't turn out well. So instead of having my dogs walking in front of me they'll be trained to walk on the leash well on the side or behind me. Making accidental mistakes with your dog helps both you and pet to learned and be trained well. I have train quite a few dogs along walking my own around places that has plenty of dogs. I do not considered myself professional, top notch dog trainer; I've watched and see different tactics on how to train dogs. So to conclude, if you like me to help with training your dog the basics commands or walk properly on leash I am able to assist you. Wish you all best, pets parents. Hi, my schedule during the week, I work part time as an RBT before and after my work schedule I work in training my clients (dogs). I work with owners how to well train; burn out their fur babies. I work four days out of the week part time so that I have more time to work with the clientele. My previous dog was fearful of all things in this world, I had crate him for three months. After the three months his demeanor had change for the better. He no longer was crated as much during the day but roam free where he is limited. Depending on your dog if he or she needs to crated: fearful, too excited needs to settle in a crate, or nursing pups with mum. All tempting items will be removed if your pet is destructive he or she will be crated with toys for stimulant. Dogs will be walking for 1-2 hours (I am very active) 2-3 times a day. With morning and night.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all kinds ever since I started babysitting kids. From walking to overnights, I enjoy hanging out with your fur babies very much and would love to help you with any pet needs! I’m currently working full time, M-F 9-5pm. I am available for early morning or nighttime walks during the week or any needs on the weekends. Open to overnights at pet owners home! I have a fenced in dog area at my apartment as well as many nearby parks and safe sidewalks in my neighborhood. Any sittings at your home will be treated with respect and care!
About: I have had many different dogs over the years and cared for more than one dog at a time, which makes me very comfortable in caring for your fur babies and understanding their many personalities. Also, I believe socialization is very important for all dogs so if you are comfortable, I am able to take them to a dog park (I have one near my home). This will allow them to create new friends and make their experience more enjoyable. Overall, I am trying to avoid getting another pet, so if you let me care for your fur baby I would heavily appreciate it :D As you can tell from my photos I treat all pets like they are a part of my family. Rest assured your baby and I will become best friends. I am a remote worker which allows me more time to care for your babies and a lot of flexibility. I believe this would be a mutually beneficial relationship as I'd be able to enjoy my day playing with dogs, while you won't be worried about taking your dog out. If you ever need to board your dog I am available on the weekends and if you need a house sitter because it would make your fur baby more comfortable I am flexible on those dates as well. I have a multitude of toys, treats, and puzzles to keep them engaged and happy. I also have a dog park which tends to not be busy which allows for running and fetch time in a safe environment.
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Yasmine is incredibly loving, attentive, respectful, and responsible. Toby (my dog) absolutely adored her because of how caring and affectionate she was with him. She even bought him toys, and they spent so much time together throughout the day. She also constantly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel reassured that Toby was happy and well taken care of at all times. I highly recommend Yasmine with complete confidence to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets.”
“Rayna was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She did a fantastic job keeping me updated on how my dog and cat were doing, sending lots of detailed messages and tons of adorable pictures throughout her stay. It was so comforting to know they were in such good hands while I was away. Rayna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Happy pup, happy pup Mom! Khalil was great with my monster. He sent lots of videos, pics and updates. We were both very comfortable with Khalil's energy and vibe. Will be requesting again. 10/10”
About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, including dogs and horses, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, medications, and providing attentive, calm companionship. My background as a registered nurse has also strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs and comfort. As a nurse with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional last-minute bookings when available. Recent empty nesters. We have a yard and a pool on the property. The pool is not fenced, so pets are always supervised closely when outdoors. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure each dog is monitored at all times and cared for according to their routine and comfort level.
“Sarah was amazing and I highly recommend her! I have a senior dog, and she took care of her with so much patience, love, and attention. She made sure all of her medications were given on time and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust Sarah with my dog again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾💕”
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: Hi everyone my name is Bridie above is a typo!! Since I’m young and active college athlete, I’m comfortable handling all kinds of dogs from big, strong, energetic dogs to smaller ones too!! I don’t mind long walks, running around, or even getting pulled a little sometimes lol. I also love to make our shy or anxious dogs out there feel comfortable quickly:)) I am currently an intern Monday–Friday from 11 AM–4 PM. I’m available for early morning walks from 6–10 AM and evening/night walks from 4:30–10 PM. I’m also available to do both morning and evening walks. Although I can’t offer my home yet, I will care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routine, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“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.”

Mafalda was absolutely amazing with my two Golden Retrievers, Izzy and Lou. From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and she exceeded every expectation. She kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from every update that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. Izzy and Lou looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Mafalda is kind, reliable, attentive, and an excellent communicator. I came home to two happy dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. Thank you, Mafalda, for taking such wonderful care of Izzy and Lou! We will definitely be booking with you again.

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. 🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Plantation
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plantation on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,596 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.

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.
