Ann was wonderful with our dog. She was very responsive to messages, and updated us all day while she was watching him. She came by and met him a few days before, and was really understanding about him being skittish near new people. Would definitely recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future! Thanks Ann!

Monica helped me with a pretty short notice request. She followed instructions and really went above and beyond. She took my dog to a park and got him a pup cup and she didn’t have to do all that. Put me at ease while out of town knowing he was living his best life with Monica! I will absolutely be using Monica again when something comes up.

We had a wonderful experience with Katarinna! She was punctual and attentive to everything we asked of her. She took great care of our pets (2 cats, 1 dog) and our home. We had a cat that was having some health issues and Katarinna had experience with how to handle the situation and put us at ease. We will definitely be working with her again!

Rachel did a great job watching our old man for a couple nights. Munchie is 19 and pretty low maintenance but has his quirks. Sent pictures throughout the day and let us know when he was up and about. Would ask her to watch him again!

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.

I could see the love that Kylie had for animals when we first met with her. She came by twice in advance of our trip to get the dogs, especially Miller, comfortable with her. The only thing that keeps me from giving her 5 stars is that except for the first day, I had to initiate any check-ins with her. Once I did that, she sent pictures, updates, etc. She did say her messages were not going through but I would expect, since she had my number, she would send text updates. I hope she gets that resolved, as I would book with her again.

About: I've been around various dog breed since as a child. From as small as a chihuahua and dachshund to the size of german shepards and Rottweiler. My biggest thing with animals im general is just understanding their personalities and setting them up for success. Always easier than done but thats the challenge and its always rewarding for you and the animal with building long term friendship and goals! I think the challenging experience I've had with a close friend of mine who i see once a year dog sitting his 2 Belgium malnois, senior german shepherd and Rottweiler shepard mix. It was difficult as i had not met the 2 Belgium malnois in person but after being acquainted and exercising them it was a match made in heaven! My close friend hardly let anyone watch his dogs except his wife due to how the dogs are very particular with who they interact with. Other than that I'm excited to meet some fur babies could turn to potential friends with my baby boy! At this current time I work remotely for my full time job 8 to 5. I am very flexible on the weekends. During the day incase I am close enough to let your animal out to use the restroom and let them stretch their legs. I understand how important it is especially being away from home atleast 7hrs is hard for a dog. When it comes to safety I always make sure the dogs does not have access to areas that can cause them harm or they can get into. I've met some sneaky dogs over the years where you have to make sure the trash in a locked closet etc. Always thinking how to keep the dog safe as I would hope someone would do the same for my boy! In regard to trust just have to be patient with the fur baby and take things slow. As humans we dont trust strangers so your pet for sure wouldnt right away. Before agreeing to any service I would always would love to meet the animal atleast twice before fully going through the process to make sure everyone feels safe and secure.

About: I've owned dogs since high-school. I blessed to meet my soul dog 6yrs ago, but unfortunately lost him to cancer a year after we adopted him. Our current pup, Harley is a huge couch potato and loves kids... but she's my husband's doggo. I'm looking for families who can appreciate having a caretaker for their pets, who wants to be best friends with every dog and cat she meets and will love them like family. I work from home Monday- Friday. Which gives me lots of flexibility to provide care for your pets as needed. My job requires me to be detail oriented, good at multitasking and extremely reliable. All traits that I can bring into providing care for your furry best friend! I have great communication skills, can follow pet schedules as required for food/walks/potty breaks etc, and administer medication. As well as providing all the other important needs your pets might have, playtime, snuggles and treats!

About: I’ve pet sat for friends of friends and neighbors in KY for a few years and hope to do the same here. I love taking care of animals, I’ve had a few over the years including 2 dogs, 3 cats and a snake. I’ve been lucky enough to raise some of them from birth. On Wednesday to Friday the pets will have my undivided attention if needs be. I get off work at about 3 and still have all day to you pet. I am also fully flexible if plans change or if something comes up. I have stopped cat fights and created a Great Dane with little to no issues. Every dogs has his day. I’m also more worried about them than me.

About: I have always been the go to in my family when pet care is needed when they travel. Cats, dogs and frogs. I am an aunt to humans as well and will be a good aunt to your pet. I was laid off and I have been doing different things while I figure out the next steps in life. I am home a lot during the day and evening as most of my side gigs are work from home so I could spend a lot of time with your baby. My apartment complex is pet friendly but I don't see a lot of dogs. I would leash the dog and take them around the property here for walks and bathroom breaks.

Zach was an excellent pet sitter! He provided daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He made sure Rebel got a walk every day and took great care of all of our pets—Rebel, our dog, and Lilly and Bella, our cats. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the care he showed our pets. We’d absolutely trust Zach to watch them again.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 9 years old. I was hired for two months consecutively by a family in Indian Hill twice this year to stay with their lovely lab and have taken care of pets in the Cincinnati area for some years now, and for some cats and dogs for months at a time due to travel. I have one kitty of my own and have owned cats and worked with dogs my whole life. Since I've just moved back to the Marysville region I'd love to get settled before bringing your babies to my home, but I have plenty of free time to travel between the Marysville, Dublin, Columbus, and Delaware regions to spend time playing, take them for walks, feed, and comfort your loved ones. I am very dedicated to ensuring your little guys get the best care and snuggles, I do well to be attentive to any requests and instructions you may have as each pet is so unique and need different levels of care. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask any questions as I'm new to this specific platform! I currently am in the process of getting a part-time position as I've just moved back and have plenty of time to watch your little guys! I always ensure I have all the instructions I need for each pet and home before heading there. I love to build professional relationships with clients, so they know who I am and what I stand for: great care for your pets. I do my best to make sure the pets are well taken care of, groomed, get their exercise, and comforted along with ensuring the home is in its original state or better before I head home!

About: Hello! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets since a young age. I was trusted by neighbors to pet sit/house sit during their trips and when I got older I became an independent contractor for a pet sitting company! I worked there only a year due to relocation but there I learned animal behaviors and personalities, walking, playing, comforting, and even how to administer medications to pets!! I have a big heart for animals so I’d love to meet your fur babies and take the best care of them for you! I’m currently working very limited part time, and am available for meet n greets any day except Tuesday!! I have a clear schedule because I hope to dedicate majority of my time to taking care of animals :) I plan to have meet n greets before any official visit so I can learn your pets routine and behavior around me and give them the best care in your home!

Abby watched our two pups in our home for a little over a week. She followed all of our instructions and did a great job! They were so well cared for. We loved the daily updates and pictures that she sent as well as the extra care she gave our senior dog. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Plumwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Plumwood on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,466 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plumwood. 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 Plumwood 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 Plumwood 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 Plumwood 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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
