“Amanda was amazing with our pups. Communicated with us everyday, kept our home very clean and tidy. I have no doubt that if Bert and Gertie could talk, they would praise her highly!”


“We had such a fantastic experience with Linda as our dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dog, Kia. One of the most fun and memorable parts was that this is Kia’s third “French lesson” with Linda, she even gets to sit in on her classes! At this point, we’re convinced Kia is well on her way to being bilingual. It’s such a unique and thoughtful touch, and we love knowing Kia is getting extra attention and enrichment. Linda also sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could clearly see that Kia was happy, relaxed, and having a great time. To top it all off, we came home to a perfectly clean house, everything was spotless and just as we left it. Linda is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter (and maybe a French tutor for their dog too!). Jade and Kia”

“Ashton is amazing!! My pup is a little crazy and she handled everything with ease! Best experience I could have asked for leaving my girl for the first time! She kept me posted with pictures and always checked in. Was never a moment of worry while she was there :)”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have had dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I grew up helping my mom care for other people’s pets in their homes, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life! I’m currently a proud dog mom to one pup and a cat mom to two littermate kitties. I’m also a mom of three boys, so I’m VERY accustomed to energy and chaos. I’m also very comfortable cleaning up pet messes, I simply ask that you provide your preferred products and supplies for your home and pets. :) I’m experienced with administering medications and love learning all the little details about your pet — their routines, quirks, favorite treats, fears, and what makes their tail wag. My goal is always to earn their trust and make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. With my flexible schedule, I have more than enough time to devote to your fur babies and I'm happy to send plenty of photo updates at your request! I like to know everything I can from your preferences to theirs and I do ask plenty of questions as to give your pets as much normalcy and consistency as possible and to give you peace of mind that everything is well taken care of. I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine. 🐾🩷 I am currently a stay at home mom with all my children now in school so I have more than enough time to devote to caring and spending time with your pets. I can walk or drop in more locally to me but am willing to travel further from home for overnight stays depending on the circumstances and with enough notice. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow whatever house rules and routines you have in place, both for your pets and for myself. I know every home and pet has their own routines and preferences, and I want to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Christina did a great job of taking care of our pet family! They were all very healthy and happy when we got home! She was very communicative and sent many pictures which was very much appreciated!”

“Briar genuinely loves dog and has shown a great deal of patience with my shy and sometimes skittish spaniel. She takes time to play with my dog and even gives her periodic car rides.”

About: Your dog will be treated like part of our family! I work remotely from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. They are rarely left alone at most, about an hour on the occasional grocery trip or quick walk around the neighborhood. My husband also works primarily from home, running his own home services business, so there is almost always someone here with your dog. We understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when they’re away from home. Whether your pup loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, we’ll make sure they receive personalized care, regular potty breaks, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment. We treat every dog as if they were our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home most of the time, except for quick grocery trips. I’ll be available to give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We keep your pups active during the day so they’re ready to settle in at night. Dogs usually sleep in their room with their own bed or blanket (if provided), which keeps them safe and cozy. We have a separate room to ensure they’re comfortable and relaxed. Feel free to message us with any questions—we’d love to make sure both you and your pup feel at ease!

“Tracy is awesome! Our babies love having her stay with them! She loves on them and treats them the way we do. Thank you for being amazing and so helpful. Will definitely work with her again.”

“Meaghan was awesome to work with. She took excellent care of my dog while I was away, from taking him to new trails to bathing him, she even bought him some treats when I didn’t have any. She kept me updated throughout each day with pictures and letting me know what they did and how he was doing. Highly recommended!”

“Meggen was the perfect pet sitter for our dog and cat when we were on vacation. We got frequent photos and updates and came home to very chill pets. It's obvious that she loves pets and will treat them as her own. We are so happy to have found someone so responsible and trustworthy.”

“Caitlynn was great, she came on short notice and was polite, very clean and was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures and updates. The pups were clearly well taken care of and I will use her again for sure.”

About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.
About: I’m an experienced pet owner and animal lover who has cared for a wide variety of animals, including cats, kittens, senior cats, ferrets, and dogs of different breeds and sizes. This experience helps me quickly recognize each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and care needs. I can provide attentive and dependable support while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for both friendly and reactive dogs. I have firsthand experience caring for puppies. I understand the extra patience, consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement they require. I’ve had my husky since she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of her development. This has helped me understand how a dog’s needs change from puppyhood through adulthood. I can provide thoughtful, age-appropriate care for both puppies and adult dogs. I currently care for a husky, a boa constrictor, and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. My experience with exotic pets has made me comfortable following specialized care instructions. I’m also experienced with maintaining precise routines and paying close attention to details that are important for an animal’s health and well-being. Pet care is currently my part-time work. My primary profession involves working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This work has strengthened my patience, communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to follow individualized routines. These skills directly benefit my clients by helping me provide calm, consistent, and personalized care for each pet. I understand the importance of clear communication with owners. I will keep you informed about how your pet is doing. I hope to continue building on these skills as I work with, train, rehabilitate, and study animals. My future goals include working primarily with dogs, exotic animals, and aquatic animals. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and individual needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. This helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that are shy, high-energy, reactive, or slow to warm up to new people. I respect each animal’s boundaries and allow them to interact at their own pace. I provide gentle encouragement, patience, and reassurance. My goal is to build trust and create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I can provide drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, basic enclosure care, and companionship. I’ll care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. You can feel confident knowing they are in dependable and compassionate hands. My schedule is mostly remote and very flexible. I am available most days and times on both weekends and week days. I do travel sometimes for my full-time job, which would be the main reason I would not be available. I care for my pets as part of my daily routine and make sure their individual needs are met throughout the day. My husky receives regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, attention, and downtime. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, so caring for her has been a consistent part of my life for years. I also care for a boa constrictor and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. I maintain their enclosures and monitor their temperature, humidity, feeding, water, and overall environment based on their individual needs. Their enclosures are kept secure and separate from my other pets. With any animal in my care, I pay attention to behavior and body language, provide appropriate enrichment and interaction, and make adjustments when I notice their needs have changed. I prioritize safety, consistency, cleanliness, and making sure each animal receives the level of care and attention appropriate for their species and personality.
“Arianna was a dream! She took care of Kia as if she was her own. I think she spoiled her more than we do, if that is possible. Another surprise? The house was spotless. My mom was so surprised when she came home and there wasn't fur built up over the time we were gone. From constant pictures and updates, to a clean house when we got home we couldn't have asked for more! Arianna is dream and Kia's new best friend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,061 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plum Point. 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 Plum Point 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 Point 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 Point 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.

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.
