Katelyn took great care of our cats while we were away. She made sure our shy cat was also taken care of and took great pics of the cats! I highly recommend her!

We absolutely adore Julie. She took her time and not only had no problem with our cat's semi complicated meal routine, but she sat with our very needy cat and gave her undivided attention while we were away. We will absolutely be contacting Julie anytime we are going to be away and need our pets to be taken care of.

We had such a great experience with Mckenzie! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I have experience walking dogs, dog-sitting, and house-sitting for pets, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and happiness! I’m currently in an accelerated nursing program, so I have a structured but flexible schedule. I have two in-person classes for 2 hours each on Mondays and Wednesdays, and clinicals on Thursdays. I’m generally available after 3 PM on Thursdays, and I’m fully available Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine and instructions closely. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pet and your home, so I am respectful and thoughtful of their wishes. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away!

Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!

My seconding time booking Deborah and she’s great! Follows the routine. And plays and loves on your pet! The first thing she said to me once I rebooked with her was “I’m so excited to see her again.” which is something very heartwarming to see when you’re leaving your pet to be taken care of by someone.

Stephanie M. was awesome! This is the first time I have used Rover and Stephanie made me feel at ease about leaving my 2 cats in her care. She sent great pictures and documented what they were up to in detail. I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again!

About: I’ve had pets of all kind since the age of 4 and taken love for them since. I’ve had about 5 dogs, 4 birds 3 red ear slider turtles, multiple fishes and 1 cat throughout. I work full time as a properties manager. But in my spare time I would like to walk some dog as i truest enjoy walks, sitting and a fun time. I would care for your pest as if they were my own(of course respecting all your standards). Communication is key as I would like all expectations to be met and transparency across. To be trusted with a love one is a responsibility I take very seriously

Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!

Ashley has been a god send to our family (and our pup). She has helped our family out last minute on many occasions, and when we are both at work my mind is at peace knowing Ashley is scheduled to care for our dog. She is reliable and I know my dog is in good hands when she is sitting her. I can’t say thank you enough for her help.

About: I have owned my own animals my whole life. I currently have a Doberman who has Addison’s disease and requires daily medication and weekly injections. I worked at a rescue for 3 years when I was in college so I know a lot about dog behavior and care. My husband and I own a small masonry business. I currently assist him on the jobsite when needed but mostly take care of the administrative duties so my schedule is very customizable to your pet care needs I am comfortable working with pets of all ages and in a variety of environments. Wether you prefer drop in visits in your home or long walks with your dog I can accommodate many different options.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Plantsville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,755 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plantsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Plantsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
