“Celia was my first ever Dogsitter/Rover experience. I was anxious leaving my dog behind because I didn’t know what to expect — from hiring a sitter or from my Leo. But Celia calmed those nerves at our meet and greet. Seeing how quickly Leo fell in love with her made me feel confident that he was in good hands. With each visit, I knew when she arrived and when she left. I received photos and videos of my boy enjoying his snuggles and eating. Communication was a breeze! And her level of flexibility also helped. I’m so grateful to have found Celia and couldn’t recommend her more!! I’ll definitely be tapping her again for any future needs.”
“Very conscientious and a pet lover. Even held one of my guinea pigs. Spent sufficient time giving affection and playing my very lonely attention-starved cats as well. Report cards were detailed and photos are adorable. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my ability to balance active, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. Whether your pet loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or simply relaxing and feeling safe, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable working with elderly pets and those with medical needs. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and close attention to detail when it comes to medications, mobility limitations, or simply providing a quieter, low-stress environment. I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable, supported, and cared for at their own pace. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying attention to the little things, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure to plan my availability so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I am a graduate student at Wayne State, so I do have classes Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours, I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins. My weekends are somewhat flexible, allowing me to provide more extended care, drop-ins, or multiple visits as needed. I’m especially happy to help with dog walking, whether it’s part of your pet’s daily routine or if you just need an extra hand. If getting your dog out for a walk has become difficult, I’m more than willing to step in and make sure they still get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I aim to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or favorite playtime activities. I approach every home with respect and every pet with patience. Some pets love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence, and I’m very comfortable adjusting to both. I make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in the place they know best.
About: I have experience pet sitting, housesitting, and live with three dogs of my own. I love animals and helping people with their pets. I offer photography services, lots of cuddles, and will love your dogs like you do! I work during the week and choose to relax by taking care of and playing with dogs! There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people and caring for pups. I always make sure to spend time with dogs while not leaving them alone for long periods of time. When their family leaves, it can be stressful for pets and I do everything I can to make it easier for them.
“Kelsey was amazing! She took such good care of Rico, shared pictures, and gave him lots of snuggles. We lost power at our house while we were away, and not only did Kelsey keep us updated on the temperature and make sure Rico was comfortable - she even reported the outage on our behalf! We will definitely contact her for future dog sitting needs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else. Thank you, Kelsey!”
“Evelyn was absolutely amazing! She was so patient and kind to my pup, Louie. She allowed my dog to get adjusted to her and sent constant updates to me! I am so grateful to have found Evelyn and will be asking for her help for all things Louie in the future!”
About: I have cared for animals since I was 14 years old for my family, neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I really enjoy seeing the unique personality of each animal & how they need to feel love and care. I recognize each animal is different in their care and I attend to these details. I typically work 9a-4p Monday through Thursday. So, I am free those days before work, during lunch hour and after work for drop-ins or walks. My weekends are open Friday and Saturday for care. Sundays I typically work 8a-12p. I do not have any pets of my own. When caring for animals at my home, I am able to put dogs on a leash for walks. I keep doors shut to my basement, my bedroom, and outdoors. I adhere to requirements that clients ask of their pets in their own homes.
About: I have had animals all my life. I would love to take care of yours. If you are looking for a happy, healthy, and loving place to be when you are not available, then I am your lady. I am a retired lady so my schedule is mostly open. I plan ahead for engagements and appointments so once you are on my calendar, you are set. I live in a one story condo. I am happy to take your pet for walks or let your pet enjoy the outdoors on a lead. I of course will provide a safe place for your pet
“As always, Heather is reliable and wonderful. We travel many weekends for kids' activities, but we never worry about our pets because we know we can count on her to take excellent care of them!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets and have lots of experience. I had cats and dogs growing up and started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends when I was around 12 years old. I am used to taking care of both puppies and kittens along with senior cats and dogs. I have pet sit for animals that require medication and looked after my own dogs post surgery. I have volunteered at shelters/fostered and worked with animals of all temperaments. I just got back from a year abroad and won’t be starting school back up until January so I have lots of time and no set schedule. I often go to the gym Monday and Friday morning and hikes with my mothers dog on the weekends but I’m flexible. I have pet sit and my home and at the clients home and am comfortable with either! My house has a fenced in yard and is close to a park. I have recently taken in my grandfathers elderly cat she’s very quiet and sweet and spends most of her time sleeping in my bed. I also occasionally watch my moms husky mix who loves to play with other dogs.
“Christina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.”
“I had an excellent experience with my cat-sitter Lauren. She was always on time for every visit and spent lots of quality time playing with Nimbus, which I really appreciated. She consistently sent pictures and messages to keep me updated, and it was clear from every update that Nimbus was happy and comfortable. She followed all of my instructions correctly and was incredibly kind and gentle with Nimbus throughout her stay. I will definitely ask Lauren to cat-sit Nimbus again whenever I need to. I highly recommend her — she provided outstanding care and great peace of mind while I was away.”
About: Have enjoyed having pets around my entire life. Would love an opportunity to spend time with your furry family member when you are not available. I am retired therefore I’m currently available any day or evening for an opportunity to help you out by keeping your pets healthy and happy. Looking forward to spending time with your dog either in their happy home or while out for some exercise. Would never pass up an opportunity to say hello and give a little belly rub to a furry friend.
“Steph is the perfect pet sitter for my Gracie. She has a border collie just like mine so she is well aware of their energy levels and high sensitivity. You can tell Gracie loves when Steph comes over to visit her. Steph gets a lot of that energy out that is getting built up while Gracie is home alone and shows a lot of love for her. I know I can trust her while I’m away.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cat since I was 14 years old. I love pets and can provide them with excellent care. I currently have a part time job but have a lot of free time that I would love to fill with pets. I will soon be a full time student this fall and this service will allow me to also further my education. I will insure the pets I care for have a clean space and harmless environment. When taking them for walks I will make sure they have access to water when necessary.
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.
“Thank you Taylor! Taylor did an amazing job watching our dog Daisy all weekend and was exactly what we were hoping for when we signed up for rover. Taylor gave very detailed reports utilizing the rover app during drop in visits and provided tons of photos. Taylor also took our girl on walks each visit. When we arrived home from our trip Daisy was looking for Taylor haha. We will definitely utilize Taylor again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!
“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have 13 years of caring for animals personally 🥰 I am currently a dog & cat mom and a first-time mom to a baby girl. Over the years not only have I cared for my own pets but I have house sat for friends and family members. Additionally I have 3 years of dog grooming experience! One of my favorite jobs yet! Please keep in mind booking that I work from 8am-4:30pm. I look forward to discussing the possibility of caring for your fur babies. Please note I require a meet and greet before booking and a video call for last minute bookings I will give constant updates on your fur babies and keep them on whatever schedule you have setup for them. They will get lots of cuddles love.

Emily did a great job watching our senior cat who was happy to see her each day! Emily was very patient with our Charlie who is sweet but not super lovey-dovey with strangers. Emily's updates each day helped put us at ease, and though Charlie was happy to have "mom and dad" back, she was obviously well cared for and not distraught or anxious. I would definitely recommend Emily!
This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!
We really appreciate Lynn for taking such good care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats). Lynn is very attentive to their needs -- not just their food and medications, but sitting and being with them. Plus we enjoy the pictures of each pet that she sends after every visit. This was our 8th time with Lynn caring for them. We highly recommend her!
Holland went above and beyond - she came over to introduce herself to us and our dog before caring for him later in the day. She brought him to her house to play with their family dog and took a few photos as well - our dog loved it! Definitely would recommend her and we’re glad we booked. Fast and easy to communicate with, as well.
Celia did such a wonderful job caring for our cats and chickens while we were away for our wedding. Our cats looked so comfortable around her in the photos, and they warmed up to her immediately. We were so happy to have Celia watch our cats and will be booking her again in the future!
Kelsey did a wonderful job dropping in on our senior cat while we were away. She gave our cat the attention and love she needed and it was clear Kelsey genuinely cared for her. Kelsey shared lots of photos and updates to make sure we could relax on vacation knowing our cat was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Kelsey for your Rover needs!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Plymouth is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $37 per visit. 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 4,117 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plymouth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plymouth. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
