“Ashley was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the first meeting to the last day, our dogs and home were under the best care. She went above and beyond to ensure that our dogs were happy and comfortable while our family was away. From daily check ins to sending pictures, it gave the family a sense of comfort and security knowing that the dogs were happy and safe. We would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone and look forward to booking with her again.”
About: I previously worked for a dog boarding/daycare business where I learned a lot about taking care of dogs and their individual personalities. I also have a lot of experience with working with cats and their individual personalities as well. As a pet parent myself I know how important it is to have someone care for my pets that I can trust, who is responsible and who is reliable and that is why I pride myself on having those qualities when it comes to being a Rover sitter. I have a flexible schedule as I'm currently a stay at home mom. I am available 7 days a week and anytime between 9am-6pm. I do occasionally have to have my infant and 4 year old with me during my drop-ins and walks depending on my husbands work schedule. I always keep dogs on leash unless there is a fenced back yard. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed to ensure your pet does not get loose. I only give food/treats provided by you unless I know your pet has no allergies/restrictions to avoid any allergy or dietary issues. I also make sure to keep the pets area clean such as washing food and water bowls/cleaning the area around litter boxes.
“Nicole was a wonderful house sitter. We have two GSPs and they loved her. She exercised them enough to keep them happy and noted when they needed a rest (because they won’t stop). She provided lots of love and cuddles (which they also need 🥰) and sent us many pics showing them happy and relaxed. Additionally, she left the house spotless - I couldn’t have asked for a better feeling walking in the door. Highly recommend her and will definitely get on her future schedule!”
About: I have owned animals ever since I was born! I've always had some kind of fluffy, scaly, or slimly creature roaming around. My first pet sitting job was at about 9 years old for my neighbors farm animals and dog! I absolutely loved it! I'm currently a student, but it's all online and I have a very flexible schedule! I just need some advanced notice to plan but I can make it work! I am willing to be flexible in order to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible! I ONLY use positive reinforcement! And I truly treat all animals as if they were my own! Plenty of cute pictures of your pet coming your way!
“Grace is an amazing caregiver for our two beloved pets, Olivia (cat) and Shelly (dog). She treated our home with respect while house sitting. Olivia and Shelly seemed to take to her immediately and sense her "good vibes." Highly recommend, and we'll be reaching out again when in need!”
About: I have pet-sat for friends and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, and making sure each pet gets plenty of love and playtime. I focus on keeping pets happy and comfortable while maintaining their normal routines. I am currently home during the day with a flexible schedule. I love getting out for fresh air and exercise. I only care for one pet family at a time so I am a perfect option for dogs that don’t get along well with other dogs or prefer to be the main attraction. Getting the opportunity to walk, play and meet your fur babies needs would brighten my day! Safety is my top priority. With your dog being my only guest I can give ensure they get personalized attention. I never leave dogs unattended outside or off-leash in unfenced areas. I am familiar with dog body language and know how to handle dogs of all sizes safely.
About: Have taken care of many types of dogs from Dalmatians and Cane Corsos, to Pomeranians and chihuahuas. I will make sure your dog is taken care of and entertained to my upmost ability I am currently in school 2 days a week, as well as working on getting my private pilots license , but I would be out before 12 everyday. I could take care of your pet before as well as after my lessons. I will follow any rule given to me as well as any instructions about care or treatment of your pet. I will not snoop around or try and be nosy or go into any rooms you don’t want me to go into.
“Breanna was excellent! Very compassionate caring for our senior dog Maya! She put our mind at ease on very short notice to attend our daughters wedding that was out of town. Can't thank her enough!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and currently have a 14-year-old Havanese named Penny who I adore. I am very reliable, on time and caring. I work full time Mon-Thurs and am available Friday, Saturday and Sunday for dog walking, over night care or boarding.. also can run pet related errands. I can care for your pet either in my home or yours. I am very flexible and reliable. My home is on an acre of land.
About: I love animals and have taken care of many including fish, small mammals, chickens, ducks, turkeys, cats, and dogs. I have cared for these animals during all stages of life. I am very loving toward animals. I work at an elementary school and am home by 3 pm during the school year. During the summer I am available around 1 pm. I follow the clients instructions when caring for their pets in their homes. This includes walking the pets in a safe pet-friendly area, following feeding schedules, making sure the pet has plenty of fresh water, and providing stimulation and playtime with the pet.
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
About: I grew up with a Lab in my house! She lived until she was 16 and she was my best friend until the very end. I currently have two Morkies (6) so I have handled all different types of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own because after all, they are our children. I have struggled in the past with pet care, so I know first hand how difficult it can be to leave your pet while you are at work. Or just going out with friends for the night. I like to help where I can! My two Morkies are my world. They are on constant flea and tick prevention. They get let outside in the yard multiple times a day. I wipe their paws when they come in from outside and when I am at work during the day they stay nice & cool in the AC in this heat.
“Emily took great care of our two (very large) dogs! She also sent pictures of our cat, brought in packages, and was a big help filling in last minute when another sitter canceled. Would definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.

I stumbled upon Corey by chance, and I’m so glad I did! He sent me daily updates and pictures of my furry companions, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my two dogs and two cats were in the best of hands. After witnessing the exceptional care Corey provided for my animals, I can’t imagine considering anyone else for my pet care needs. Thank you so much Corey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Plymouth is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plymouth. 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
