Christa is amazing! We needed her last minute to let our dogs out when we weren’t home and she was able to stop by that night to meet us and them and then was there promptly the next day to care for them. She sent great pictures and her communication was excellent. We will definitely use her again!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, both in my own home and in clients’ homes. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique routine and comfort level. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone stick to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re with family. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet care. Throughout the school year, I work as an elementary school counselor, so I’m typically available after school on weekdays, as well as evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I’m very easy to communicate with and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Whether you need regular care or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment.

About: I have had a wide range of experience caring for a variety of pets ever since I was a young child. I have taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Your pet will have all the attention and care they need during their time with me or in my home. I work Monday to Friday with weekends off. I am able to care for them before and right after work, with family home during the day as well. I care for pets by feeding them their proper diet, playing with them/making them feel welcome, making sure their bathroom needs are met, and updating the owners.

About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!

About: I am 26 years old from New Jersey, I have a bachelors degree criminal justice, a masters degree in forensic studies. Over my lifetime I’ve had five dogs I’ve had. Two golden retrievers, a black Labbe, German Shepherd and now I have a rescue golden retriever mix. My love for dogs undeniable and I love spending time with them and being able to care for them and exercise and enjoy quality time outside is something that I take seriously. I’ve had dogs from puppy stage to senior stage and will always treat all animals the same and like they are my own. I currently work 8 AM to 4 PM. I usually leave my house around 6:30 in the morning and return home by five with potential of going to the gym.. I am able to take care of dogs before I go to work and after I go to work and on the weekends. I treat all dogs like they’re my own as far as taking care of them. I take my dog myself on several walks a day feed them two times a day as far as roaming the apartment and or my parents house they have the opportunity to do both.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since 2014. I currently have five dogs and three cats that take care of each day. They are my babies. I am a teacher on my summer break so my schedule is quite open apart from taking care of my own 5 pups and 3 cats. I offer drop in visits where I can spend time playing with your pup or cat, I can feed them, give them fresh water, and I also offer walking services.

About: I have cared for dogs at every stage of life since I was a child. I am particularly adept at managing litters, having successfully trained multiple puppies at once to encourage good behavior and social confidence. My professional background in restorative practices makes me an exceptionally observant sitter, perfect for pets with anxiety or those needing strict medical recovery protocols. From the specialized needs of a senior to the round-the-clock energy of a new litter, I provide reliable, high-quality care that honors your pet's unique personality. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am working a flexible part time job so I have plenty of free time to spend with animals and take care of their needs. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that had a fenced in dog area and lots of walking trails. I personally home cook my dogs food so if there are special diet restrictions I have experience. I love spending time bonding with my animals and would put that time into someone else’s pets to make them feel loved and safe whether that’s cuddling, wrestling, playing ball or dog walking.

Joyce was fantastic with my kitties. She took pictures and everything looked great when I returned. Cats were relaxed and content so I know she paid them plenty of attention! Food bowls were filled and the litter box was spotless! I'll definitely be calling you for future kitty sitting dates! Thank you!

Laura was amazing. She was very caring with my 13 year old dog. She even carried her down the stairs because she had a hard time with her back legs. Laura carried her outside also so my dog didn’t have to maneuver more stairs. She kept us updated and send video and pictures. I would totally recommend Laura. She is professional, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. She hand fed my dog to make sure she ate. She was on time with her visits. Again, I would highly recommend Laura.

About: I have years of professional experience caring for animals as a veterinary technician, dog trainer, and shelter worker. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and pets needing extra attention or medication. I treat every pet with patience and care and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule can vary depending on the semester. However, I’m usually available after 2 PM, with even more flexibility after 5 PM. I do my best to work around each pet’s routine and can coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pets receive consistent, reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. With my veterinary and animal care experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, administering medications, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect their pet’s individual routine, personality, and boundaries.

About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.

About: Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified! Thank you for considering me to help you out and thank you for trusting me with your pets! I am currently working part time and am able to request any day off if given advance notice. I can also care for any animals after work by 3pm. I have a fenced in yard with four friendly dogs, a large home that is able to have separated space if needed. In a client's home I treat their house with respect and leave everything cleaner than when I found it. I treat every single pet as if they were my own!

About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science graduate student, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Plumsted

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 2,741 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Plumsted. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
