About: With years of hands-on experience and three dogs of my own over the years, a Chihuahua, a Pit Bull, and a Staffordshire Bulldog mix, I've developed a deep appreciation for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From small, spirited companions to strong, affectionate breeds, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing patient, attentive care. As a devoted dog parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you're away. I treat every dog in my care with the same kindness, patience, and attention I give my own. As a dog parent myself, caring for their rhythm has been a natural part of my daily life! I'm accustomed to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm happy to coordinate care around your pet's established routine and communicate availability in advance to ensure a comfortable, stress-free experience for everyone. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and respecting each dog's individual needs given my experience with different breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their familiar routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and create a calm, loving environment. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, energy, and comfort, and believe in keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and consideration I give my own.

“Jill went over and above to care for our two golden retrievers! This was our first time leaving our dogs at home overnight— and for 3 days . It was such a comfort to know that Jill was stopping in to care for them throughout the day. They are happy & well cared for- highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and currently have a French Bulldog of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving lots of attention and affection. I currently take time out of my life to foster dogs in need from the shelter. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re in my care. My schedule allows me plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time throughout the week. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and given plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Whenever someone is watching my dog, I want multiple pictures a day so I totally understand the need for updates on your pup.

About: I've been caring for my own dog for the past 14 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life—from a playful puppy to a senior companion. Over the years, I've handled daily walks, feeding, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when needed, and making sure my dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a teenager, I also walked dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, which helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and walking styles. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own 14-year-old dog every day, making time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Because caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, I'm happy to fit additional walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting into my schedule. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I always make it a priority to be dependable and ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care their pet requires. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean and secure and providing updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and loved until you return home!

About: I'm caring and I have a pet of my own. I'm off most days and your baby will be spoiled with me. I've cared for small pets for deploying marines and the family members. We will take walks. Do sprints and play! I am responsible and a good person. I have a ton of patience and respect for these babies and safety is my top priority for them. They may be senior dogs but to me they are babies and part of the family. We will have loads of fun and it is also very theraputic for me to be able to interact and walk them daily. It helps me get exercise as well as they get to exert the energy they sometimes build up At the moment I employed full time. I can do afternoon/ evening visits and walks. And on the weekends I’m available. I can also board if crate trained or behaved enough where I can care for when I get home. I am in an apartment but we have a dog park right downstairs that has a ton of space to exert energy. Dogs should have their own beds and crates that are brought in by owners

About: Animals are my favorite thing in the world! Growing up we always had pets and I currently have 5 of my own. Professionally I have worked with a range of breeds from Rottweilers to chihuahuas. I understand the worries of most pet parents when choosing a sitter or walker. Safety and comfort are my top priority and I promise to take care of your pups as if they're my own. Look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently work a job with flexible hours and am often left with free time. The only set schedule I have is for my online classes at Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12 pm. But I can attend from anywhere as long as I have WiFi. I’ll keep your pup company in your home and provide play and potty breaks regularly. If you have a preference for anything just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions to make it as comfortable for you and your pet. I also promise to update you regularly with pictures and videos if you’d like! For boarding I have a fenced in yard and backyard cameras so I’m always able to monitor your fur baby. But I promise never to leave your pup unattended as they do their business. I also have 2 fur babies of my own so they’ll never be lonely. My pup Maisie just turned a year old and loves having furry friends to play with! While my Tilly is older and tends to keep to herself to snooze all day.

About: I’m responsible, trustworthy and a big animal lover. Since I was a child, we were always caring for pets of all kind in my household. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to manage my time and play with your furry friends. They will never be unattended and will have my full attention. I have a fenced patio and a park next door so your pets won’t ever be stuck inside. I also have 2 friendly indoor cats so I’m very careful when leaving the front door open.

About: I’ve had dogs in my house since before I was born. I had two labs growing up and currently have four dogs and a cat including two chihuahuas and a aussiedoodle. Family and friends have also relied on me to pet sit since I was 10. I recently graduated from FSU and moved home so I have a lot free time to dedicate to taking care of pets. My flexible schedule allows me to spend ample time ensuring that your pet receives attention and care. I can feed, walk, bathe, and play with your dogs as well as anything else you need me to do. I can also check in on your pets multiple times a day and clean up any messes they make.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Plantation

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plantation is $24 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 7,410 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plantation. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.

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.
