“Sandra took care of our pup with such care and absolute kindness when Izzy was having a hard time with our leaving. She forwarded regular updates and the best pics of them on walks & relaxing by the fireplace. We recommend her by far as one of the best sitters we have ever worked with on Rover. Highly recommend!”
“Mariah was great! She communicated well, sent pictures, and enjoyed spending time with the pets. They looked well taken care of and the house was left clean. Would book again!”
“Rebecca is a sweet and caring person who loves animals and puts their care first and foremost! We knew from seeing her around town working over the years that she is friendly and very responsible. I have to say that we were not worried leaving our pets in her hands. While, we were away and needed to ask her to take care of a matter for us, she did so with total grace and patience. If, you want to feel totally secure when leaving your pets while your away, please, consider booking Rebecca. You'll thank yourself, later!!!”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young and have handled dogs both large and small. I've cared for cats since 2019, I am newer to them technically, but I love how different they can be. I run my own business, so making my own hours allows me a lot of wiggle room on doing check-ins or rearranging my day to allow for walks. My home is a temple to good vibes and my happy lil buddies (Sprout and Tansy) get along with everyone they've met so far.
“Gabby was simply awesome! Leo and I met her and her pets before to ensure Leo will get along with them. It was great, dogs played together and Gabby put my worries to ease. The stay itself was amazing, i got steady stream of pictures about Leo's stay and his adventures. I thought he had more fun than he bargained for. After the stay Leo was sleeping for two days straight and i think he had so much fun that he needed vacation from the vacation. Thank you Gabby for being wonderful host to Leo and putting my worries to the rest. I'll definitely reaching out to her again when i need dog sitter. ”
“Third time having JaVae watch our pets at our home and another great experience. We trust her and she's so patient with our very anxious dog. Always a pleasure!”
“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”
“Olivia was wonderful with our dog! She asked thoughtful questions on how to best care for her, and was very understanding of our dog being reactive around other dogs. She sent updates and pictures while we were away so we knew she was being well cared for. We would definitely book with Olivia again!”
“Corrine did a great job watching over our two pups and the house for 9 days. She communicated with us regularly on how things were going and answered any questions we had while travelling. Pups were happy when we got home and she treated our home like her own. Will be reaching out the next time we need a pup sitter.”
About: Hello I love children and animals! I love taking care of dogs and watching them get excited as you walk in the door or as the leash comes out and they know it's time to go! They bring joy to your heart as they explore their world either playing, sniffing or just enjoying their walk. I engage your dog with whatever their interests are: favorite toy, ball, running or playing hide and seek! I also can be calm and affectionate with your elderly dog and just do potty breaks and supply cuddles and love. I like to know your dogs normal routine so I can make them as happy as possible during my visit with them. All fur babies receive unconditional cuddles and love from me! I work as a nanny part time and do pet care Services part time. I enjoy spending my time providing care for others when needed. I will take care of you animal(s) as you have instructed. Let them out on a potty break and give them time to explore. Make sure they have fresh food and water and then give them playtime and cuddles if they allow me to! If I am caring for your cat I will scoop litter give fresh food and water and give them play time and cuddles also if they allow me too!

About: I have always loved animals of all kinds, and caring for them is truly my passion. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, nurturing, and dependable. I grew up with dogs, so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I treat every pet with love, attention, and care. I began watching dogs for family and friends in high school. Recently, I have been watching animals more frequently over the weekends which inspired me to create a Rover account! I am the happiest when I am around furry animals so I am very much looking forward to this journey! As a teacher, my weekdays are typically busy until 4:00 PM, but I’m available afterward for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. My weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide fresh food and water, lots of playtime, endless attention, and plenty of affection. For walks, I focus on safety and keeping dogs active, happy, and comfortable while following their pace and needs.
About: I grew up around dogs. We have had dogs ranging from Newfoundlands to yorkies! I currently have a 7 year old Yorkie (Rudy) and a 3 year old Shorkie (Chico). I was always responsible for the pet care in my house. I also help friends out when they go on vacation or won’t be home in time to feed or let them outside. My husband also owns a grooming business so I pop in every once in a while to say hi to the dogs he’s grooming. I usually work till 2pm during the week and work from home on Fridays. My work schedule is pretty open for weekends and holidays as well. I can crate dogs easily. Both of mine love their crates. I can snuggle them on the couch if you prefer. I keep a close eye on them at all times if they are not right beside me.
“Roman took his time to let my dog warm up to him at the meet and greet. He sent plenty of updates and I could see that my dog felt super comfortable and at ease with him. I will definitely be booking with Roman again in the future!!”

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 Plum 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 Plum 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 Plum 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
