“This was the first tine Jennifer stayed with Kale'a. Kale'a is a slow moving 12 year old Lab - Jennifer walked her several tines a day, gave Kale'a her medications and lots of love. In addition, my house was also well-caref for. I can't express how happy both Kale'a and I were to have found Jennifer!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with two wonderful dogs and I’ve raised my three cats since they were kittens, so I understand just how much care, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. They’re part of my family, and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and respect. I also really enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more laid back and cuddly, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care for your furry loved ones! I work full time remotely, so as long as I can bring my laptop I can work from anywhere with wifi. I take frequent breaks so I can play with and give your pets plenty of attention. I take careful attention to detail when it comes to care instructions and the things that make every pet unique. I’m very flexible and adaptive; always happy to accommodate their needs.

About: Reliable pet sitter & dog walker with a quick pace. I have taken care of dogs my whole life. From my first dog, Nina, to my current, Pickles, I have always been attached to a pup. I’m responsible and kind. In my teens and early twenties I was the neighborhood babysitter, the additional responsibility of a family dog was always welcome. Now that I’m older, I enjoy pet sitting for friends and family anytime they need me. I have a calm demeanor and I practice patience when any obstacle comes my way. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to devote to your pup. I’m an avid reader and all around chill person. I will gladly spend time engaging with your dog, whether that is playing with a toy, going for a walk, or chilling in the backyard & on the couch. While being your pet sitter I will treat your space with respect. I will closely follow the routines you have set for you pets to make your absence as easy as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of our own, family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I previously worked with a dog walking company in college. I currently have my own, a 3-year-old Cavapoo named Berlioz who I adore. I look forward to hopefully meeting your furry friend! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I am working part-time, so I can be available whenever needed. I prefer weekdays, but am willing to do weekends. Timing is flexible as well :) I have a fenced-in yard, and two dogs at the house. They are both under 20 pounds, but friendly. I can also keep dogs separated if needed.

About: I have taken care of pups of all ages my whole life, as I have had my own as well as done overnights with multiples! I am in college, and have a part time job on weekdays, but I have no commitments after 5:30 and on weekends, and I can take care of your fur babies! I can easily crate dogs, and I have cats that love to run out so I am equipped to find the sneaky cats that want to run free

FAQs for House Sitting - Plattville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,119 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plattville. 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 Plattville 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 Plattville 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Plattville 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 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
