House Sitting in Plymouth

“Where to begin… This was a wonderfully, amazing experience working with Robin so much so, I selfishly don’t want to share her! Like other Rover.com users, I was nervous using this service for the first time. When Robin’s profile appeared for our dates, I knew right away she was someone special. In fact, special is an understatement. Robin cared for my 2 rescue fur babies AND my home as if it were her own. She went out of her way to come by the house twice before we left for our trip in addition to stopping by when we returned to check in with us and say “farewell for now” to our dogs. We are legitimately going to miss Robin as she quickly became someone to confide in about my worries with the dogs and leaving them. I could not have felt more comfortable while away, so much so, I could have been away longer knowing how well my two babies were taken care of. She checked in every single day, both morning and night and sent pictures all throughout the 8 days we were gone. She trudged through terrible weather, including 2 snow storms, without any hesitation because Robin was that dedicated to her caretaking. Both of my dogs loved her AND her husband who is equally as compassionate and loving as Robin. One of my dogs is very nervous around people but he instantly fell in love with Robin. It was amazing to see how well both my dogs connected with her when we first met. It was even more amazing to see how excited they were when Robin came to visit after we arrived back home. I am so grateful for Robin staying at our house and being there for us when our flight was majorly delayed too. I can’t say enough good things about Robin and her position as a Rover.com sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Robin to anyone looking for a regular, weekly pet walker and/or a house sitter. I would also like to note that one of my dogs is on a strict medication system and Robin was so diligent in making sure she received everything she needed on the correct days. I am truly looking forward to working with Robin again. Robin truly is a rarity in the way she cares for both animals and people. I feel privileged to have met her and like I stated before, both my dogs and my husband and I will miss her.”

“Lauren took great care of our pets, which included a daily pill our cat had to be tricked into taking. She was very responsive and put our minds at ease, and flexible when a travel delay meant that we were going to be late getting home. I will definitely book with Lauren again.”

“This is my first time using Rover or requesting dog sitting and I wasn’t sure if someone would care for not 2, but 3 little dogs for one day… especially my first dog who barks anlot and is reactive a lot to the point when I worry he may not like anyone except family. Well, color me surprised when Drake came to meet and great the day before the booking and my 1yr Chipin took a quick liking to him and the other two! Drake was very professional and kept me up to date on the dogs and didn’t hesitate to ask questions and reply in a timely manner . He respected not only me, but my dogs and home. He was very flexible if something came up on my end and I appreciate the photo updates of my dogs snuggling up with him because I knew they were taken well care for. Thank you again and I will definitely hire again!”

“Carol is simply the best sitter I’ve ever used! She is so caring, kind and accommodating and provides sweet updates for my girl. I know that Harper is in excellent hands with her and will be so well taken care of. She loves the dogs like her own and will be SO missed after her move!!! Thank you 🥰”

“Nina was great. She stayed at our house for the week with our two dogs and you could tell by the pics they loved being with her. When we got home music was playing and the bed was stripped and in laundry. Would highly recommend.”

“Katie was absolutely lovely, and the pets got on with her really well. She sent through updates and photos, and made sure we felt comfortable (all on a holiday, too!) -- thank you Katie!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

“Maddie was great, she took good care of our girl and sent plenty of photos . Even helped shovel our sidewalk so the kids could get to the bus stop”

“Peace of mind. Sara took care of our pets on two separate occasions staying overnight in my home – when we returned it’s like she was never there. She was very communicative while we were away, sending photos and keeping us updated. Very grateful for Sara’s attention to detail, proactivity, and thoughtfulness. Thank you, Sara!”

“Zachary was so kind and conscientious of my older dog. Stayed a couple of nights and took great care of my home. Also, I came home to a calm dog and a clean home. He also gave me some great advice on end of life for my 17-year-old boy.”

About: I have several years of paid and volunteer experience with all animals, including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, horses, and goats. Growing up, I had two dogs, one small and one medium. I also used to volunteer at a therapeutic horse-riding center for people with disabilities, where I groomed horses and cleaned their barns. I currently have two guinea pigs who are contained in cages, but are very curious, playful, and friendly with other animals. I'm an incoming Master's student who is currently working part-time this summer. I have a highly flexible schedule and short commute times, which gives me more time to care for your pets! I have spacious front and back yards where your pet can roam. I also have a doggy gate to block off the upstairs of my house if necessary, but our downstairs and upstairs are very dog-proof from years of caring for our previous pets. I live in a 3-bedroom home, providing ample room for your pet to explore and wander inside if they prefer the indoors. I also have dog bowls, leashes, toys, and food, ready for use.

“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two labs (one is a puppy!) at our home. She was very easy going and easy to work with. When we got home the dogs were happy and quite tired! I would definitely use Elizabeth again!”

“Pros: Professional , flexible & timely My dog seemed to really enjoy cuddling with him. No cons: I’ll ask more next time for feedback how she was, what activities they did (play or walk?) etc.”

“Sophia was truly amazing. She communicated every step of the way and always reached out with any questions. I appreciated how consistently she kept me informed with updates and photos, and how she let me know when she arrived and left each day. She also gave me helpful summaries of their daily activities so I always knew how Kharma was doing. I came home to a neat and tidy house, the trash taken out, and a very happy dog. It was clear Kharma was well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her again.”

“Annie was awesome!! She took great care of our golden, he had his own vacation while we were gone. Annie kept us up to date and sent some great pictures. She is a natural and our dog absolutely loves her!”

“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of my own pets for 6+ years. I make sure pets feel loved and well-cared for, whether it's playtime, feeding, or just giving them some extra snuggles.

I have a small dog and cat that are friendly, But they can be moved to another part of the house if you prefer.

“Kaleigh and Ri came together as we arranged. They were wonderful with my 2 dogs! Kaleigh kept me in the loop on what they were up to and sent pics and videos along the way. It is very clear from the videos that my dogs bonded with them both and got a lot of attention. My house was in good shape when I returned. All in all, a great experience! I would happily hire Kaleigh again. Sheryl”

About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong

About: Dogs have always been part of my family, from Beagles to Bullies and up to three in a home at a time. Friends and family have trusted me with caring for their animals on a fairly regular basis doing anything from food/bathroom check-ins to walks and dog park visits. Experienced walking three medium sized dogs at once. Comfortable with elderly dogs and their needs, including handling seizures and the appropriate care. I'm less experienced with cats but have had and loved them all the same, my only hesitation being allergies from extended exposure to some. Currently open to just about anything. I'm recovering from health issues and have much more free time since losing my dog, they just bring me a ton of joy and caring for them is good for the soul. I'm very affectionate with animals and rely heavily on positive reinforcement/praise, they're very much part of the family and not just pets to me. I understand their physical, mental and emotional requirements and do my best to meet or exceed them. I've always been very interested in psychology and feel that knowledge has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals.
