“Mary did an excellent job checking in on our kitty and guinea pigs, she even brought in a package for us that was on the porch I thought that was very thoughtful. Thank you!! I highly recommend Mary she is great!”
“Annette is very warm and kind. My older dog is usually a little slow to warm up these days but he took to her right away during our meet and greet. She dropped in as discussed, shared photos and even brought a package in the house for me! Thank you Annette! Highly recommend!”
“Jess was so responsive and helpful and kind. Our puppy needed special care after surgery, and medication too, as well as removal and replacement of his e dollar so he could eat and drink. She did an amazing job, and kept me informed. We really needed help and she came through. Would 💯 recommend. Thank you Jessica!”
“I had the utmost positive experience by having Brandon looking after Midnight. He provided daily check-ins and treated Midnight super well. Once I was back, I could tell that Midnight was very comfortable with you. I will definitely book it again. Thank you so much Brandon!”
“Fantastic pet care. One of my cats needs a twice daily oral medication twice a day and he was able to do that no problem! Will definitely book with him again in the future!”
“Savannah was super communicative and . I could tell she was really passionate about the work and knew my pets (a dog and a cat) would be in good hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend her as a pet-sitter to others.”
About: I’ve had cats now for about 5 years! 4 of my own (ages 4, 4, 4, and 8), and they are absolutely the loves of my life!! I do also have experience with administering oral and eye medications for cats! My experience with dogs isn’t quite as extensive but just as thorough!! I have experience with walking and feeding!! I currently work full-time as a registered nurse, doing rotating (days and nights) 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week, so I typically have quite a bit of availability and a pretty flexible schedule!! I am currently available for drop-in visits to ensure your pet has all the care they need! I will also provide pictures and updates :) My cats get fed twice a day and have plenty of toys and scratch posts! I also have an abundance of treats for them to snack on!!
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
“Beatriz was attentive and caring when she did drop-in visits for my cat. She want at or beyond expectations, and was extremely responsive in communication, looking out for everything. She did a great job and I am happy to rebook her in the future.”
“Teagan was so great with our baby. My husband and I are first timers and were a little nervous at first. But Teagan sent me so many updates and pictures which put me at ease. We are so thankful for her!”
About: I have been working in animal care for the last 10 years between animal shelters and boarding facilities. I can provide references. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, I have experience working with dogs and cats of all temperaments and also have knowledge in administering medications and insulin if needed. I am currently open. I can provide walks, drop ins, baths, nails, transport to and from daycare, whatever is needed! My routine is pretty set once I have a good schedule going! I can follow any instructions left by the client. I am very committed to making sure your pet stays happy and healthy in the time they spend with me.
About: Dog owner since 1970. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front, and one in back, with a gate in between if needed. Dogs love me and I love them. ❤️ I have an older service dog as well, and am able to help train a dog if needed. I'm semi-retired, so it's rare that your dog would be left alone at all, but if you're dog enjoys being left alone, that's always an option as well. Communication is the key.... feeding times, special needs, etc. I have everything needed to pet sit. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front and one in back with a gate in between. My home has whole house ac and vinyl flooring. I have 3 dogs to keep your dog company, or those two seperate fenced yards if requested or needed. I also have crates for dogs that enjoy that den feeling.
About: Professional dog trainer, not just a sitter – I understand canine behavior, body language, and how to manage dogs safely and confidently. Behavior-aware care – I proactively manage jumping, pulling, barking, and over-arousal instead of ignoring it. As a professional dog trainer, my schedule already revolves around dogs. Pet care is a priority in my day, allowing me to provide structured routines, supervised activity, and mental enrichment. Dogs in my care are integrated into my daily routine and receive consistent attention, not just drop-in care. I I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their own. In my home, dogs follow a consistent routine that includes scheduled feedings, frequent potty breaks, walks, enrichment, play, and calm rest time. I keep a limited number of dogs to ensure safety and individual attention, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I focus on calm handling, safety, and clear communication, and I always leave the home clean and respected. As a professional dog trainer, I naturally reinforce good manners and basic obedience during care while prioritizing your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners feel confident and connected
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both cats and dogs—though my own cats would probably like me to emphasize cats first 🐾 I’ve spent time volunteering with the Humane Society of Somerset County, where I walked and cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and with Kitty Queen Cat Rescue here in Pittsburgh. These experiences gave me hands-on confidence with animals who need patience, attentiveness, and a calm presence. At home, I’ve had cats my entire adult life—they truly are my babies—and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which means more flexibility, more availability, and more attention for your pets—whether that’s a midday walk, a check-in, or just extra time spent keeping them company. I offer: 🐶 Dog walking (reliable, attentive, and tailored to your dog’s pace and personality) 🐾 Drop-in visits for cats and dogs (feeding, litter/yard care, playtime, and meds if needed) 🐱 In-home cat sitting (a calm, cozy environment—perfect for cats who prefer a quieter stay) I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications. Availability-wise, I offer flexible evening and weekend scheduling to fit your needs. I’m especially great with: Cats (shy, opinionated, or “only likes their person” types included) Dogs who benefit from a patient, calm walker Pet parents who want thoughtful updates and peace of mind You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and honest communication while you’re away—I know how much that matters. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family (and probably talk to them like tiny roommates), I’d love to help 💛 I have a full time, work from home job as a Customer Experience manager M-F, so my availability is evenings and weekends as I'm able. I can also board kitties anytime that can hang out with me while I work! I am a nature lover who loves walks in the park and in the woods. When caring for pets in my home, I have a separate bedroom where I would be able to keep them separate from my two cats, if need be.
“Natalie took the best care of Daisy. She was easy to communicate with and very reliable. She was able to accommodate a last minute change & sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She also offered and cleaned up all the dog fur so we didn’t have to come home to a mess. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to care for our pup while we were on vacation.”

So grateful Yasmeen could watch my bunny again on short notice! I swear my girl looks a little disappointed when she sees me come home after my trip and I’m not Yasmeen lol. I always look forward to the photos I receive during drop ins and I can tell my Truffle really loves her visits!
Maria was amazing from the start for us! She agreed to take care of our babies last minute the day before we left for our trip! She came and loved them like they were her own and kept us updated on everything! She was kind enough to grab our packages for us too! We had no worries while being away knowing she was caring for our baby doggies 🩶
This is the second time Laurel has watched our cats for us, and as long as she’s available, she’s who we will always go to! Laurel clearly cares for our animals when we’re away, and does the extra little things too. She peeped that we had a thirsty plant and gave it some water during her check in too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plum is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 2,544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plum. 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 Plum. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
