“I had Julie do drop in visits for my two cats. She was reliable and great with them. I received pictures which made me happy. She gave my babies attention and played with them and I knew they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Julie!”
“Kelly is an absolutely phenomenal sitter! I’m always afraid of leaving my babies alone with someone, but Kelly kept me up to date and I never once worried. My two cats are special needs and require some extra care and Kelly went above and beyond. I am so thankful and highly recommend her :)”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was great! We were in the area from out of state for a wedding. We were also first time Rover users. Elizabeth walked us through the process, was an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dogs. We highly recommend her and if we lived in the area, would use her services again.”
“We needed a last minute cat sitter, and Stacey went above and beyond. Her rates are more than reasonable and she is a thorough, attentive animal caretaker - plus, my cats adore her :). Will definitely look to Stacey in the future when we need someone feed and medicate the beasts!”
About: I'm a huuuge pet lover! I have two cats of my own and also volunteer at my local animal shelter every week. Cleaning up poop, puke, and hairballs are all second nature to me haha! Rest assured your pet will be in great hands with me. :) I work from home 4x/week so my schedule is very flexible. I am often free any time of day (besides tuesdays) from 7am to overnights if needed. I'm flexible to all scheduling - just let me know! I do dog walks, dog feedings, cat feedings, and cat walks (if you are interested!) I can keep all pets company if you're just at work for the day or need a late-night stay.
“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: While I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, I am especially partial to dogs. I enjoy working with them, as well as spending my free time with them. As many people say, "if you love what you do than you don'ts work a day in your life." I am currently attending community college and I do it online. This leaves a lot of blank space in my schedule which I am trying to fill by spending time with animals! Currently, I work on a farm daily while also keeping up with college. In addition to that I have a few pet sitting clients, where I walk the dogs and sometimes stay overnight with them if owners are away.
“Theresa took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She followed instructions exactly and was very responsive to messages. Most importantly the cats liked her! Would absolutely recommend her, and will be hiring Theresa again for our next trip”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve lived with many Australian shepherds-sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 3. Dogs at my house are allowed on the furniture with free run of my ranch house-except for the kitchen if they’re counter surfers! I am training in animal reiki and would love the opportunity to work with your dog with this (only with permission). I have a list of hikes that I love to do-some very short and easy, others longer and more challenging that can be added if interested. I’m retired and flexible for daytime requests! I’m retired with plenty of energy to help out! I love walking and being outside so I’m happy to travel and give your pup some attention. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door to allow for freedom to come and go as dogs need if agreed upon. Otherwise, the door can be closed and dogs can be taken out only with supervision. The yard is large enough to throw a ball for fetch, and there is plenty of shade with large cedar, magnolia, oak, beech, pines, and larch trees. In nice weather I like to sit outside on my patio with the dogs.
“Victoria was great with Layla and Adonis. She arrived on time for each scheduled day and provided excellent care to the dogs. We truly appreciate that she was available for the days requested and plan to use her again in the future. Thanks so much Victoria!”
“Morgan was great with my shy cat! She helped me out last minute and came early morning for a meet & greet the day of the visit. I really appreciated her flexibility and calm energy. Will definitely book with Morgan again!”
“Whitnee was able to come through for us at the last minute when our usual rover had to cancel. She was punctual, professional, responsive, and took great care of our two cats! Would certainly book with her again.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful, our poochie loved her. She is very personable and is punctual. She sent loads of pictures daily, which I loved that. I would highly recommend her services.”
About: I am a career scientist and an avid animal lover. I have cared for up to 12 pets at a time including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, lizards, and fish. I have experience walking, feeding, exercising, overnight stays, and administering medication. I currently have one black cat age 13, and two bunnies ages 10 and 2. My senior rabbit receives daily oral medication and twice daily eye drops. I am also experienced at bunny-proofing spaces to keep spaces safe and undamaged. I am an active individual who enjoys hikes through the woods and practicing yoga. I am currently taking a break from the scientific industry and looking to fill my life with things that bring me joy. I am more than happy to meet with prospective families for an interview. I am currently not working full time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I can accommodate same day bookings for walks, check ins, and overnight stays. In my own home, I am strict about keeping gates closed to separate my cat from my bunnies while unsupervised. In clients homes I will take a similar approach, tailored to your needs and layout.
“Nina is very responsible and took great care of my new puppy, Charlotte. She played with her, took her outside gave her a snack and made sure she is left in her enclosed area. Will definitely re-hire!”
About: Since I was a small child I have been surrounded by dogs, cats and other pets. I’ve helped my parents raise two dogs over the years, including regular walks, feeding, mess clean-up, driving them to the vet, and lots of love and attention as I find that dogs need plenty! Additionally I currently work at a Petco as a Dog Trainer. I have experience giving dogs topical and oral medication as well as basic grooming and hygiene care. I have a passion for our beloved animal companions and can ensure I will take care of your furry friend’s needs with the utmost care and attention to detail. Currently, very open availability aside from Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I have training courses with Petco from 11 AM - 6 PM currently. I am available for weekends. I have a large backyard for lots of energetic romps in the grass with your fur babies! I also live in a quiet neighborhood with very little car traffic, perfect for daily walks. I also live only 3 minutes by car away from a lovely dog park. My dog Onyx is incredibly friendly, seldom ever barks and adores other dogs and people. She is a young ‘un at heart with lots of energy to spare and would love another playtime partner! I am also of course open to spending time in your home to care for your fur baby.
About: Hi, I have been taking care of animals for over 25 years now. I also use to breed German Shepherds for eight years. I am a stay at home mom and Rover, is my full time job now that my kids are teens. I use to foster dogs and other animals before I had a family and worked on two farms, So I have a lot of experience with different types of breeds, temperaments, past abuse, and very skittish animals. I have much confidence when it comes to taking care of special case dogs, senior dogs, newborn/Whelping puppies and more. We live in a house with over two acres of land, with lots of lovely areas to walk, including a cemetery that is located over the fence in our yard. It has lots of roads that are quiet and safe. I find this great because they gets lots and lots of exercise, and its great for dogs that may be frightened of loud, busy streets, or leash reactive dogs. We also have doggie pools ,( when it's hot) if your pup loves water play! My German Shepherd and Papilions are highly trained and socialized . They are extremely well behaved, as well as amazing house dogs and companions to my autistic son. HOWEVER, your dog/s and my dogs will NEVER come in physical contact with each other. . We are highly active family, so lots of play and exercise fits in our schedule everyday. While hosting your pets at my house, they will receive the same attention and affection as if they were my own dogs. I always sleep in the same room as the pups ( unless told otherwise) to keep they company and comfortable during their stay. We will have lots of potty breaks, keep right on track with feeding schedule. Everyday we will have lots of play time, down relax time, and brain stimulating fun as well. I will take them on long walks at the cemetery that is behind the fence of our home. I ONLY do family boardings, I do not mix other family dog/s. I find no matter how socialized they are, being away from home on top of being with unfamiliar dogs can always have a possibility of disaster. My goal is to keep everyone safe! I will take up to 2 dogs from the same family. Thank you for understanding. I absolutely am an animal lover, and it's the only job that makes me feel happy, confident and I have such a passion for this work So your pets will become my family when they are with me. I will always protect them and care for them like they are my own. I will always send pictures and videos of your furbaby while they are in my care. I am very good at keeping in contact with of my clients via their choice of email, text message or phone/video calls. Please ask me as many questions as you like, I am eager to learn about your fur babies! My dogs are on strict, daily routine that doesn't interfere with my work schedule. However my dogs and your dog/s will not come in physical contact with each other. We have two wings of our home and the main house where are dogs are. Down the hall we have the ..... Huge Doggie Suite!! Equipped with a mini fridge for meds and wet food, with lots of toys, beds,blankets, a big doggie couch, Sink, Raincoats and snow jackets, AC AND HEAT. Lots of windows and sky lights, screen windows to slide open to get that fresh crisp air in the morning and gentle breeze at night. Spring and Fall are best for those times. But we will have fun all year round because I am a huge outdoors person. I also have doggie Tv playing everyday!!😊 My schedule most of the time will be wide open, which only a few days here and there that I won't be available. I will follow all your directions to a T, and you will never be disappointed by my services! I look forward to all my new pup and "hooman" clients.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plantsville
Lindsay is fantastic! She has been letting Marshall out for several weeks and she is dependable and flexible! I had a change of plans and she took care of marsh on short notice! He is so excited to see her and it seems like she still gives him time and effort!!! Highly recommend!!!
McKenzie was absolutely fantastic with our puppy! She was very communicative from the very start. We felt extremely comfortable and confident trusting her with our puppy. She was on time and followed our instructions to a T. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks, McKenzie!
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 of Pet Sitting in Plantsville is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 2,716 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plantsville. 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 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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. 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.
