“I was very happy with Alex. She obviously took great care of my critters. Nahla was excited to go for a walk with me, and she didn’t want to go before! When we had our meet and greet, Nahla was enthralled with Alex and Simba came up and gave her a kiss! He only gives me kisses!!! That kind of clenched it for me. She sent a few photos and stayed in touch. I will use her again if she’ll have us.”
“This was our third time using megan and we love her. Very efficient, always on time, sends lots of photos and the animals love her! Would recommend for any future animal sitting you need!”
“Great job! She kept me up to date all the time! The pups were in great hands! Would definitely recommend! She is quick to respond if I needed anything and super professional. Asked great questions when meeting the pups.”
“It was just a one nighter, but I can’t help but leave a five star review. She did what I asked, but the main thing I was very happy about is knowing that he had ball play. I’ve had too many that have ignored that my dog is active and enjoys to have a little fun each day.”
“Shiyuan was the best dog sitter i ever met! She sent every hour updates and my dogs loved her! You can really trust her with dogs! She takes good notes for dog’s routine and follow the directions. Will definitely hire for my upcoming trips.”
“Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.”
“Such a. Calming influence. She also projects confidence & capability. Our 2 dogs cozied right up to her to watch TV & relax after she took both at once for a walk, at our meet & greet. We felt so comfortable knowing we could be out of state & not worry about our furry kids! TU Kayla❣️”
About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up in a pet-friendly household, I learned from a very young age what it takes to keep dogs and cats healthy, safe, and happy. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have consistently relied on me to watch their homes and care for their pets while they are away. I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities—from high-energy pups who need long, engaging walks, to senior pets who require a gentle touch and strict adherence to a medication routine. Because I am focusing entirely on building my Rover business right now, your pet will have my dedicated attention. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, clean, and communicative. I know how tough it can be to leave your pets behind, so I love sending frequent photo and text updates to give you total peace of mind! My schedule is highly flexible and open throughout the week! Because I work independently on a flexible basis, pet care is my top priority. I am available for overnight house sitting, daytime walks, and drop-in visits. This open availability means I can easily adapt to your pet's exact feeding, potty, and exercise routines without having to rush off to a strict 9-to-5 job. As someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life, your pet's safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. When staying at your home, I strictly follow your house rules and routine guidelines. I am incredibly respectful of your space, keeping it clean and secure. I also understand how important communication is, so I make sure to send regular text updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and in great hands.
“Emily is fantastic! She took excellent care of our dogs and was the perfect houseguest. Our dogs were happy, well exercised, and well fed when we got home. She knows so much about dogs, she even gave me some great tips on training our puppy! 10/10 we will be asking Emily for help again with our dogs!”
“Abbey was great! She was attentive, trustworthy, and loved on our pup so well. She went above and beyond and we loved getting picture updates while she helped with our pup. Highly recommend☺️”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs, from looking after my own dogs and neighborhood pets growing up to recently working professionally at a dog daycare and boarding facility. This background gives me extensive experience handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including large and giant breeds. I am completely confident managing multi-dog environments, reading canine body language, and keeping energetic pups safe and happy. Additionally, I am highly experienced with special needs and can precisely administer oral medications or insulin injections. Whether your dog needs structured care or just a lot of love, I am ready to treat them like my own! I am not currently working, I have completely open availability to care for your pets. I am flexible and ready to accommodate your schedule, providing full-time attention and regular updates during the day or night. I am incredibly detail oriented. Safety and structure are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. Drawing from my professional dog daycare background, I am highly trained in reading animal body language, preventing stressful situations, and ensuring environments remain secure. When entering your home, my first step is always ensuring all doors and gates are securely locked behind me so no pets can slip out. I strictly adhere to your established household rules, feeding schedules, and crate routines to keep your pet's environment consistent and stress-free. For outdoor time and walks, I always utilize secure leashes, double-check collars or harnesses, and maintain high alertness to keep your pet safe from outside distractions or other animals. Because I have extensive experience with large breeds and medical needs like insulin, you can trust that I will closely monitor your pet’s health, behavior, and well-being. I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it exactly as I found it while keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved.
“Lauren and Ian were fantastic! They walked and played with my dogs, and sent me daily updates. I could tell my dogs were very happy. They were very communicative and even did extras I did not ask for in cleaning up! I will 100% recommend them and will use them again!”
“House Sitting/Pet care Jan. 2026 Hannah Del was once again great with our pets. She is very loving and I know they like her since they were sad when she had to leave. She keeps us updated on their days with excellent communication; she administered their meds and kept the house tidy while we were away. We were delayed in our return flight from the east coast during the recent snowstorm, and Hannah kindly stayed the extra day giving us one less thing to worry about. Can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks again, Hannah!”
“I don't want to write great things about Hannah because then other people will scoop her up! And I will, great in all ways from feeding according to instructions, doing long walks, pictures every day, petting my cat, doesn't get better.”
“Michele sat with our two dogs and cat. She took great care of them. Took our high energy dog for a walk and made sure she received lots of ball playtime. She sent pictures to us of our animals during her stay and was a joy to work with.”
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. I have experience with dogs of varying sizes as well as ages. I am well versed in caring for senior dogs that need a bit of extra attention in their golden years. I'll always prioritize your pet's needs to ensure they have a great experience. I currently work full-time remotely. I can work from anywhere to ensure quality care of your pets at any time of the week. I am flexible to take care of pets with reliable consistency.

“Katie was a wonderful dog-sitter for our dog Gunner. She stayed overnight 3 nights, and it's obvious how much she loves animals - so naturally warm and affectionate, and Gunner immediately liked her, too. She was easy and clear to communicate with, and she sent us several pictures of their time together throughout her stay. I'd her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other small pets including rabbits and guinea pigs. Growing up with both a small and a large dog gave me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Both dogs completed training programs—one as a puppy and the other later in life—which helped me develop an understanding of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement in animal care. I understand the importance of providing quality walks, maintaining feeding schedules, paying close attention to grooming and hygiene, and ensuring pets receive proper exercise and enrichment. In addition, I have personally owned cats and am knowledgeable about their daily care needs, including providing fresh food and water, maintaining clean living spaces, monitoring behavior, and grooming as needed. I am attentive, dependable, and committed to ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I base my scheduled depending on the clients and their pets’ needs. Emphasis on the importance of consistency and schedule that the pet is used to. I familiarize myself with the environment and ask any necessary questions that I need in order to feel comfortable in the environment to gain the pets’ trust.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plymouth
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog Bruiser. He’s usually pretty wary of strangers, but he warmed up to Kelsey right away when she came for the meet and greet. Throughout our trip, she sent regular photos and updates, which put our minds at ease about leaving him home alone for the first time. Besides taking great care of Bruiser, she went above and beyond with the house — bringing in the mail, taking out the trash, and leaving everything spotless when we got back. We’d trust Kelsey with Bruiser again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her highly enough!
Alex took great care of my dog, Red. She met Red ahead of accepting the booking, asked all the right questions. Her in-home stay with Red was great. I received photos and updates and she really took the time to make Red feel comfortable with her. Will definitely be rebooking!
Denielle was kind, empathetic and just wonderful with Shoni and Zorro. She handled Shoni’s medicine very well and I appreciate her coming in early last minute to discuss Shoni’s medication. She followed all instructions and kept me updated at all times. I am very grateful to have found someone I trust so much with my cats and my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plymouth on Rover is $55.5 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 2,393 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 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.

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.
