“Danielle was amazing! She took such good care of Lola, communicating with us everyday and sending us pictures. We felt very comfortable having her in our home and will absolutely be having her sit for us again!”

“We’ve been using Sarah for daily dog care and this was the first time we used her as a house sitter. Sarah was so great with our dogs and our house and we felt so comfortable. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you”
“Heather watched our dog for a long weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. You can tell she truly cares for your pets. She sent updates and pictures frequently and was wonderful at communicating. We will for sure be having her watch our dog again.”


“It’s so nice to go on vacation and not to worry about your animals. That’s what you get with Erika. She is amazing. I have nothing but good things to say absolutely a blessing for us. Thank you, Erika.!!”

“Scott is a reliable and loving dog and house sitter. Going above and beyond, he even helped with some household tasks while I was away! More importantly, he cared for my dogs as if they were his own, he even was able to win over the more difficult of the two dogs. He was able to patiently manage their more difficult qualities, like leash aggressiveness, and trash picking. I received daily updates and photos, putting me at ease. I confidently recommend Scott, and will be a repeat customer.”


“Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Sydney has watched our house and pets a couple of times. We hope she'll keep coming back. She's very attentive and sweet with them. Very considerate and communicative with us. We appreciate her very much!”

“Cannot say enough good things about Grace's house-sitting! She was kind and patient with my weird dog, kept me updated, and left my home in great condition. Have already booked her for another stay!!”


“Ann was wonderful! After trying a few other sitters and a highly rated kennel, I found a perfect fit! Ann sent pictures, played ball with Bailey endlessly, and let Rascal sleep in bed with her. Just perfect!”

About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.
“Very reliable and always punctual. Considerate of our routines and home. Gives me a peace of mind knowing my anxious girl has someone to lean on while we are gone. Appreciate that Marylin will communicate with me throughout her stay with my precious pup. She is just what my girl needs…..a calm, confident member of the pack”

“Emily is great! She was able to house sit for us over the weekend and she was super friendly, sent lots of updates, and took great care of Penny. She was eager to learn about Penny and her routine and stick to it so that she was comfortable while we were gone. Not only did she take great care of our dog Penny, she also left the house extremely clean. I would highly recommend Emily to watch your pups!”

“Valerie was great on her first visit. She was very attentive to my nervous pup who wasn’t nervous at all with her. My time away was so enjoyable because of her. Will be rebooking over and over. Thank you!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs through walking and pet sitting since 2024, helping neighbors, friends, and family with everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for. In addition to pet care, I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years, which has made me very responsible, patient, and reliable. I’m used to being trusted in others’ homes and keeping a consistent routine. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure to provide updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which allows me to give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, exercise, and consistency they’re used to. I always prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I have a male Chihuahua-Terrier mix who stays with me part-time and gets along well with other dogs. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, because my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, indoor or outdoor play sessions, or relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to their unique personality and routine. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication, preparing special diets, and providing extra care and attention. I love having dogs around and would be delighted to welcome your pet into my home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I ask that dogs be friendly around children, adults, and other dogs. Meet and greets—virtual or in person—are required before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a flexible hybrid schedule, with three days per week at home and my office is close enough to come home midday on office days for walks and all your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious townhome and do not have a fenced yard, but if your dog enjoys leashed walks and outdoor playtime, I have easy access to open outdoor spaces, parks, and nature trails. In my home, dogs are a part of the family and welcome to make themselves comfortable just as they would in your home. They are welcome to relax on the couch, snooze on the bed, or use their own bed or crate if that’s most comfortable. I want your dog (and you) to feel relaxed and safe until your return.
“Stephanie was great! I was concerned and hesitant as a first timer to Rover and with Stephanie. She immediately put my mind at ease with immediate text responses, pictures and going above and beyond the basic care for cooper. Typically my dog would not eat the first day we’re gone. He ate more then usual. It was clear that when we came home he was happy and not stressed. Thank you Stephanie!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Plato Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plato Center on Rover is $38.85 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 3,364 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plato Center. 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 Plato Center 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 Plato Center 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 Plato Center 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.
