About: Ive taken care of people's pets while they were away. I even stayed at their house. I am trustworthy and reliable when it comes to taking care of people's pets. I'll make sure the animals are well taken care of especially pets that are older. I currently work full time at a nursing home kitchen as a dietary aide. I usually work 6-2. Tuesdays I work 10-7:30. The only days I am off are Thursdays and Sundays. So anything after 3 is fine and Thursdays I am available all day. I will care for your pets with love and affection.

“Allison was awesome! She was very flexible with my schedule and sent me pics/updates throughout her stay. My dog is also still under a year old and has puppy energy, but you could tell she was a dog person and not phased by it at all.”
“I was really stuck in a last-minute center just for one night And brian did a great job! Definitely recommend I would definitely use Brian again. Mickey, my bull terrier was very happy with Bryan !”
About: Over the past few years I have been caring for family and friends pets while they are away. I have just fell in love with all the dogs I have meet along the way. I also have spent time walking at a local rescue which has just taught me so much about dogs and how to be around them and work with them on and off the leash. I continue to grow and learn something new from each dog I work with. It’s a great pleasure of mine. I’m a stay at home mom with both my boys off at school during the day so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I offer drop in visit, dog walking and even over night visits in your home. I will care for your pets like I would care for my own. I will give them lots of love and affection with safety being number 1. I am very careful to follow all the owners need and wants when caring for their pets. I love sharing updates and picture with the owners on my visits. I take pride in my work and make sure I am on time for every job. I am careful to lock up behind me and make sure the pets are secure before leaving them. I am very respectful of people’s home and property as well.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid. There has always been a pet in my house while growing up. My family has relied on me to feed and play with the pets while they were away. I additionally have experience in caring for both young and senior pets. I’m currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most days except for Wednesday & Thursday afternoons. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate if needed :) I currently have one cat in my home. I feed him, give him affection and play with him everyday. We also have a dog that lives at home with us. I take care of him when his owner is busy.
“Nia was so thoughtful and caring with our dog, Jiffers! We booked Nia for an overnight service in our home and we couldn’t be more happy. She sent us picture updates throughout the day and kept us informed on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.
“My pup Rocky and me were visiting the area for the holidays again, and Rita watched Rocky for a second time on Christmas Eve. She’s so great with him and I was ease knowing he’d be safe and cared for while I was out!”
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.

I therefore can give your pet consistent care and attention throughout the day. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. I let them explore the house and make themselves comfortable wherever that might be. I want to make your pet feel at home and give them the best stay possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plumsted. 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 Plumsted 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 Plumsted 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.
Tip: 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 Plumsted 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
