“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Sierra was great to work with. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a tidy home. She was a great communicator and I felt secure that my boys would be well looked after. Would use her services again.”
About: Have had pets since my youth. Currently have 3 adopted playful dogs, 14yo terrier female mix, 6yo mix and a 6yo male staffie-mix. Aso have a 6yo feline (he acts like a dog). Will come to your pal's home for drop-in visit to feed and for playtime. If desired, I'll even take your pal out for a ride, walk and even hiking and exploring venture If you are a trucker and need someone to take care of your Roaddog while at a shipper or receiver let me know. If your pal has any special medical needs, let me know. My 15yo girl is going blind and requires special attention. The only medical thing I can not provide is shots, but able to provide medications and other special medical support during visit as necessary. My schedule is pretty much open, will keep my calendar updated to help ensure there is no conflict. Will accommodate those whom work night-shift also. The safety and comfort of your pal comes first. Let know of any "no-go zones", such as areas around your residence or neighborhood where he/she is not allowed.
About: I am a human mom, dog mom, and teacher looking to make some extra income throughout the summer. In this family, we’re always around animals. For questions or wanting to schedule care, please reach out! As a teacher, I have the majority of summers off. I’ll be home each day looking for something to keep busy outside of caring for my kids. In previous jobs my responsibilities included taking care of 1-4 pets at a time (cats and dogs). I was asked to feed them and let them outside. On top of this I played with them, took them on walks, gave them treats and attention, and brushed them. I can take on any pet responsibilities you may need when out of the home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work
“Dogs were well cared for and seemed happier and healthier than they were when I left. It was easy to get in touch, and we were regularly updated about about the the dogs.”
About: I have grown up with many animals in my lifetime from a very young age! I love being able to play and take care of any need they may have! I have taken care of puppies and older dogs with needs. My routine is very flexible so it’s not a problem fitting appointments around in my day for any amount of time! I look forward to meeting so many furry friends! I have two fur babies of my own who are the best friends a girl could ask for! I have watched many of my neighbors dogs growing up and now as they leave on vacations, they will be in great hands waiting for their best friends to get back!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve always had such a big heart for them and love that I can help people out with their pets needs. I’ve mostly take care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve been doing it consistently for a couple of my relatives for the past 4 years. I have two part time jobs right now. One is from 4 AM to 8:30 AM Tuesday through Saturday and my second job is from 3 PM to 7 PM Monday through Friday. I’m free all day on Mondays until 2:30 PM and I have between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM to help with your pets Tuesday through Friday. On Saturdays I’m available from 8:00 AM to 5 PM. I live in a nice and peaceful apartment complex that doesn’t have a yard but there’s plenty of grassland around along with a cute stream. The neighborhood I live in is also great for walks. I also have two cats who are curious of other animals but are sweet and friendly. I can keep my cats in another room if you prefer that.
“Maddison was amazing! She was super flexible on a last minute trip and made the accommodations needed. I even had run out of some food & she was kind enough to go pick some up for me. She was great with my farm - dogs, cats, livestock & I highly recommend her! She is super thorough & asks for further information in case of emergencies. She also is a vet tech which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving my animals in her hands. Will be rebooking!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. They’ve grown with me and I’ve grown with them. I’ve trained many dogs and pups of all kind! Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to add the experience of my wonderful kitty. He has been such a joy and light in my life, and I hope to treat your pets with that same joy! Usually I feed my two pups and walk them daily. I make sure they’re groomed once a day (brushing, etc) and play with them or cuddle them constantly! I have a fenced yard and two dogs. They love people and playing. When I head upstairs into my living room in the morning it’s filled with tummy rubs and kisses as well as treats!
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was a child. My best friend Sadie (aka Tater Dog) was almost 12 when she passed a few years ago. We currently have one Blue Healer female dog (3yrs). I am a stay at home mom and am able to give your pet the full time attention they need and want during the day. I will care for your pets every need as if they were mine. I wouldn’t want anyone unreliable or untrustworthy to take care of my pets.
“I had to leave my two Siamese boys home for the holidays. I was very nervous. I work from home and they aren't home alone much, if at all! Having true flame-point Siamese characteristics, they require constant attention and play. They are known to be one of the most social of cat breeds and are often called the royalty of cats for good reason! Lucy stayed over the whole week and did more than give them her undivided attention! She followed their feeding schedule and medicine administration. They had just been neutered a week before and she checked that they were still healing properly. She checked in with me and responded promptly when I texted her to see how things were going. She let me know how much time she was with them and when she was away. I could tell when I got home they had still gotten the amount of playtime and cuddles they need. She met with me beforehand and went over last minute details as I requested before I left. I was in a rush the day I left and Lucy watered my plants for me. My dishwasher was broken at the time and couldn't run water in one side of my sink. She made sure to not use them and hand washed any dishes. I left my only apartment key with her and she didn't forget to put it back for my return. Everything was tidy and perfectly taken care of. I can tell Lucy enjoys animals and watching them. It's not a "job" for her, but a joy she holds in her everyday life. I am excited to have found a permanent sitter and my kitties are happy they'll have a familiar friend when I'm gone! I'm so grateful that she was able to stay over and spend her Christmas watching them. Thanks for becoming my cat-sitter Lucy!”
About: I have worked with animals for over a decade and grew up with them my whole life. I was a care giver at a doggie daycare for over a year and worked at a local pet store, gaining knowledge on the best food/treat products available. My best friend is a vet and I've learned a lot through her as well. I've dog sat for a few clients on my own and always had very good experiences. I have a very good rapport with all animals, accepting the standoffish ones just as much as the slobbery kissing, energetic ones. There is so much joy to be gained from all animals! I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner's needs. Whether it's weekdays, weekends, or occasional visits, I'm happy to communicate and find a schedule that works for everyone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your pet's routine, pay close attention to their needs, and provide a calm, safe, and reliable environment. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Ive taken care of pets since I was 7. My first pet was a salamander named "Ziggy." My next pet was a cat named "Jenny" who lived until she was 22-years old! Currently I have a blue heeler named "Sugar" who I absolutely Love! Sugar likes treats and needs as much exercise as possible. I throw the ball for her and I take her on a walk every day around 8:00 PM when it cools down. I talk to pets. My voice seems to soothe them if they are nervous about a new person visiting. More importantly, I make sure your pets are safe before I leave. I know what it is like to leave your Fur babies and want to ensure you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
“Jackie is absolutely amazing. I had a unique situation come up while I was gone and she quickly adapted and took such great care of my doggo. I would highly recommend her. She really treated my pup like one of her own and goes above and beyond.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She stayed in our home the entire time with our dogs and took excellent care of them. She was incredibly respectful of our space, kept the house very clean, and followed everything we asked. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible sitter.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 148 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
