About: Growing up the son of a farmer I've taken care of more animals than just cats and dogs. Today I take care of my own cat, Princess and regularly dog/house sit two Golden Doodles for my fifth grade teacher. I work primarily at a restaurant in town. My hours are typically 430pm-9pm. So most days I'm free during the morning/afternoon and again later at night. I follow all instructions left and treat your pets as you would if you were home. The two Doodles that I frequently take care of have a very regimated diet and lifestyle that I adhere to and make sure they feel like their mama never left!

Julia did an excellent job watching our fur baby during our weekend getaway. We got updates of how the dog was doing, and got pictures of her playing the yard. We came back to a happy dog, and will definitely be using her again in future.

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a big time animal lover! I’ve had experience taking care of cats and dogs. I grew up with a cockapoo named Millie and a cat named Maggie and have always had a special connection to animals, dogs and cats in particular. I’m quite an active person, so I’ll be able to take your dog on a speed walk, but I’m also very patient if your dog prefers leisurely walks! I have Sundays and Mondays off of work, and I work the rest of the days so am not as available. Tuesday mornings before 10 am are available for me. I work a full-time 40 hr. a week job that is about an hour away from my house, so I’m only available to pet sit on days I have off, which are Sundays and Mondays. I am also available Tuesday mornings before 10 am I do not offer pet sitting in my own house, but in my client’s house I will make sure to follow the pet care instructions given to me to the T! I’m a very detail oriented person. I also love meeting new pets, and will make them feel as comfortable as possible by introducing myself slowly and in a friendly way.

About: Attention to detail and understanding that each pet has unique needs is very important to me. I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m flexible with my scheduling including last minute bookings when possible. I prioritize clear communication by sending regular updates such as photos/videos and check-ins with owners. I’m also patient with puppies who need consistency and routine. Being gentle with senior dogs who may need extra attention, slower paced care, or administration of medication during my visit. My goal is to help every pet feel at home and give owners peace of mind. I am working toward a long term career in animal care and value every opportunity to build experience while giving pets the compassionate attention they deserve. My weekday schedule is very flexible allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs. My weekend schedule has some flexible availability as well. Meeting with you and your pets are a requirement before I can provide my services. I believe safety and trust are a crucial part to our professional relationship. When caring for pets in your home I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and happy. I will provide updates and communication during my time with them, in addition to leaving your home in the same condition as when I arrived.

About: I am an animal lover and active walker. I am looking to help local pet owners find someone to take their dog for a walk by the lake or to Point Au Roche for an outing. I love animals and this is the perfect side gig to spend more time with animals, while saving for a rainy day. I'm happy to take your dog out for a walk about town, let them out in your own yard, play with your cat, or check on small caged pets. As an active person, I love being outside, and enjoy giving pets that outlet too. Notes for drop-in home visits: I’m happy to check food and water for animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils. Additional rodents will be charged at the additional cat fee. I would prefer that you have your dog, their leash, treats and waste bags ready for pick-up at your home. I can easily self-navigate to let myself in and out without disturbing your home.

Needing a sitter on short notice, due to a death in the family, Brooke was a perfect sitter for our aging Yorkie. Being her first time handling her, She was very thorough and gave us updates and pictures of her visits. Despite our dog being a little shy and fearful of a new presence in the house, I believe she got excellent care.

I don't do training but would be happy to reinforce learned tricks and commands that they already have experience with! currently caring for a newborn and off of my full-time employment. baby would join me in dog walks and drop ins. when returning to work i’m out early afternoon for those doggies needing a midday potty or visit would love to work with a couple of families closely to offer routine to your pet with consistent visits and care. I’m no longer offering services in my own home.

About: I have 5 animals at home (3 cats & 2 dogs) that i love dearly and consider my children. I have had all my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with puppies and kittens. I am comfortable and have experience with giving medicine as well, if needed. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to coordinate drop ins or walks at just about any time of the day. I have raised all my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with working with whatever routine your animals are in (ie. leash training, crate training).

About: I’ve worked with dogs on and off for years but have had dogs all of my life. I have given played with big packs of pups and done solo play times as well. I have a flexible schedule that will let me have more availability for your fluffy friends to get out and play and exercise.

I do have two wonderful dogs who love to have play dates at puppy parks and go for long walks.

Zachary took excellent care of my cat while I was out of state. I'm quite particular about who enters my home or cares for my animals. Zach was extremely communicative, upfront, and timely. Loved the photo updates, and not once did I worry about my cat while I was on vacation. Will book him every time. Thanks, Zach!

Mikayla and James are outstanding animal caregivers. They cared for my Corgi as if he was their own, and he loved them! This amazing couple treated him like the Corgi prince he thinks he is, with belly rubs, herding ball play, and treats. Hope to see them again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Plattsburgh

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Plattsburgh on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 536 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plattsburgh. 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 Plattsburgh 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 Plattsburgh. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
