“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!”
“Marianne is an angel and I did not worry about my girl’s care while we left her and our home in Marianne’s care. We are all blessed to have met Marianne and to have engaged her pet sitting services for our senior girl. Highly recommend in every way!”
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.
“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.”
“Karla did a wonderful job, she followed instructions, and she was very neat, she sent us detailed reports while we were out every time she came. I am happy to have found her. I will absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
About: I’m a very detail-oriented and attentive dog sitter who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog and understanding what makes them unique. I have five years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for senior dogs who need extra attention and assistance with medication, physical therapy, and companionship. I believe great care goes beyond simply meeting a dog’s basic needs; it means being patient, recognizing their body language, respecting their temperament, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in providing thoughtful, individualized care and making every dog feel at ease while their owners are away. I make it a priority to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m organized and flexible with my time, which allows me to accommodate their individual routines, from feeding schedules and daily walks to playtime, medication, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I prioritize maintaining their established routines and schedules. I’m very respectful and mindful when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions, respect their space and household routines, and treat their home with the same care I would my own. I also believe communication is an important part of being a reliable sitter, so I make a point of keeping owners updated on their pets through messages, photos, and updates throughout the visit. Above all, I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in responsible and caring hands.
“Melody did such a phenomenal job with Teddy and really made him feel comfortable the moment she saw him! Puppy’s are never easy to watch and she exceeded expectations and even taught Teddy some potty training, which was a huge bonus. I really recommend her as she is a very responsible kind hearted person that will do a great job taking care of your dog.”
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.
About: I have had pets in my household since I was a toddler. From a young age I have learned how to care for them and be responsible with such things as feeding, givings meds, regular walks and play, grooming, and various special needs like spoon feeding and assisting with mobility for senior pets. I have even taken part in going through a full puppy obedience course as well as a few months of agility classes. My work schedule is normally pretty flexible with hybrid depending on the time of the year. Typically I am the most free in the mornings and will have some availability in the afternoons where I will sometimes need to drive locally for a couple hours. Most evenings are pretty free as well. Since I am renting I am not allowed to have pets in my own home, but I have house and pet sat for friends and family before and always do my best to respect and keep the place in the same way it was left. Most times I do find that having the pet in their own space is best and can help ease anxiety instead of making sudden changes to a new one.

“Melissa was very attentive to Yogi's needs and I could tell that they built a bond over the two plus days I was gone. I was happy too get pics and updates of my boy when I was out of town. I would definitely use Melissa's services again. It looks like Yogi has a new buddy!”
About: One of my passions in life are animals, I’ve been taking care of family and friends pets since I was 14, including dogs, cats, ferrets. I’m currently a nail technician. I can take care of pets on Tuesday and Thursday the whole day, besides that just mostly evenings and overnights. Making sure they have everything they need. Also, completing the required tasks asked for the client to ensure the pet’s comfort, well being and, happiness.
“Jenny was incredibly friendly and professional. When we met up to go over details and introduce the dog I could tell how much she loved dogs and would take good care of ours. When we got home our dog was happy, healthy, and excited to see us. It was obvious she took great care of our pet and our house. Everything was as we left it, and was cleaned before we got home. I would highly recommend Jenny to take care of your pet! 5 star service and care. :)”
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.

I’m quite attentive to even the little things, whether that means keeping up with feeding schedules, going on walks, providing playtime, or even offering that extra care and patience to seniors.

Thankfully, there’s a dog friendly park right across from my apartment, which is perfect for all their necessary zoomies, fresh air, exercise and socialization for every fur baby!

Melissa is a sweetheart 💕! She's so good with my pets! My dogs loved her and even my shy kitten warmed up to her. 😸 She was always updating me with videos and reports about how my fur babies were doing every step of the way. She left my home nice and tidy. Melissa is awesome!
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.
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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
