“Sarah was excellent, and great last minute help.! She made time to meet myself and Rocky prior to sitting which I appreciated a lot. She was very trustworthy and made me feel comfortable leaving my Rocky with her!”
About: I grew up with farm cats and dogs in the house, and as an adult I’ve cared for fish and a lovebird named Taylor. I currently have three rescue cats and a rescue Corgi, Maggie. My pets range from 5 to 12 years old, so I’m comfortable caring for animals at different stages of life. Maggie came to me a year and a half ago weighing 59 pounds—nearly twice her healthy weight. She’s now down to 38 pounds, and watching her become healthier, happier, and more energetic has been incredibly rewarding. All of my pets are rescues, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized care are. I’m currently between full-time positions, which gives me the flexibility to provide care for cats and dogs seven days a week. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting, daily dog walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines, litter box care, and plenty of companionship. I also welcome both cats and dogs into my home for stays, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and provide personalized care based on their personality and needs. In my home, I have a small unfenced yard with two tie-outs for supervised outdoor time. I also provide an indoor grass patch to help reduce accidents inside. Dogs can sleep in a large kennel if they prefer one, or they’re welcome to sleep upstairs with me. Cats have access to a separate, safe room away from my cats and dog. They can choose whether to spend time with the other cats or relax on their own in their private room. To ensure every pet receives plenty of individual attention, I only care for dogs or cats who already know each other when accepting multiple pets at the same time, and I limit stays to two guest pets. I also have treat feeders for both dogs and cats, along with homemade treats. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine and provide personalized care based on their personality, comfort level, and needs.

“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jamila was awesome. Our pets were very well taken care of and the house was clean. Jamila sent tons of pics throughout the duration of our trip. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Jenn was so great with my very spoiled Great Pyrenees at her home Christmas weekend. She was so good at communicating and sending pictures the weekend she was with him. I felt she genuinely cared so much about Koda and us too. I will definitely be contacting her again on our next travels. Thanks again Jenn!”
“Alex was a great in-home pet sitter for us for our three pets for a long weekend (Wednesday-Sunday). She was reliable and communicative from the beginning. While she was caring for our pets, she clarified any questions, kept us updated, and sent us photos. I know she gave our pets dedicated, compassionate care, which included administering medications for them and making sure their routines were as consistent as possible. We returned home to happy, healthy pets and a tidy home. We hope Alex is available for future pet sitting needs!”

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.
