“Megan did a great job (per usual) taking care of my senior dog and my home! She even went above and beyond and put out my trash/recycling bins when she noticed it was pickup day. Thanks, Megan!”
“Alex was very responsive and took wonderful care of my dog Binny and our house! Binny can be reactive toward other dogs on walks and Alex didn’t blink an eye about managing that. She was great with him!”
“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❣️”
“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 owned pets my entire life and cared for many animals throughout that time. I have the most experience with large and xl dogs, including those who are puppies, have more energy, and may still need some extra training. I’m well acquainted with caring for pets with different medical needs, such as mobility issues, medication needs, and sensitivities. I work from home mostly with a flexible day to day, so I can spend time with your pet whenever they need! I have the ability to work from your home if your pet prefers a companion throughout the day or can stop in for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. Leaving your pet in someone’s care is not a simple task and I want to make you feel most comfortable! My priorities will be meeting your instructions for the pet and your home to ensure you’re confident in my care. Trust from both you and your pet are key.
“Amazing job watching our Winnie! Thank you so very much to Emily for all the care given to our girl. Great communication and feedback during her stay and lots of pics to keep us up to date on how Winnie was doing while we were gone. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using Emily again. ❤️🐾 Winnie and her family!”
“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.”
“Absolutely Amazing!!!!! I could not recommend Jennifer enough. Her love and care for my two dogs was out of this world. They were sad to see her leave and cant wait to have their new play friend back. She took such great care of my home as well and went over and beyond. I would give her a 10 star review if it were possible.”
“Denise was wonderful with my dogs. I have 3 small dogs who like to have company at home and that’s exactly what she provided. I was able to relax peacefully knowing my babies were safe and home, enjoying themselves. I got lots of updates throughout the weekend including videos and texts. She left the house exactly as she found it and had no issues! I will be inviting Denise back for my next trip!”
“Amy was amazing with Axl. She took such great care of him and our house while we were away. Even fed the fish and watered our plants as needed. Would highly recommend Amy. Very professional and amazing with animals!”
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. I am comfortable with caring for your pets in your home. I pride myself on taking good care of both your animals and your home.
“Taylor was amazing with my two dogs! She showed up right on time and immediately connected with them. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of pictures and quick updates that really put my mind at ease. It’s such a relief to find someone who not only takes care of the basics but actually enjoys spending time with your pets. Both of my dogs clearly loved her. When I got home, they were happy, calm, and the house was exactly how I left it. That told me everything I needed to know about how well she cared for them. I really appreciate how dependable and thoughtful Taylor was. She went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals and enjoy spending as much time with them as I can! I’ve had my dog for 14 years and have been dog sitting for others for about 2 years. I want the pet parents to feel comfortable and stress-free leaving their dog with me or having me stay with them while they are out of town or need extra help! I work full-time Monday-Friday, but I will be available for boarding after 3pm, and I’m available on weekends! If I am staying at your house and it is close by my full time work, I can swing by and let them out during the day! I have a small dog that would love to play with another pup, I have a yard and can attach a lead to a tree or spike to hold the dogs, and I can crate the dogs when/if needed
“Christina was excellent! Very kind and accommodating, followed instructions, and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and competent pet sitter.”
“Ebbie did a great job watching our senior dog! We were able to go away for the night feeling comfortable that he was in good hands. Our pup seemed relaxed and trusting around her very quickly. We hope she’ll come back and watch him again soon!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Plymouth Township is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plymouth Township
Jessica house-sat for me and watched my dog, Atlas, for 9 days. I had never used a service like this before, so I was a bit concerned/nervous at first. Jessica eliminated any doubts that I was having immediately. She checked on him multiple times a day, for multiple hours a day, and kept me consistently updated on how he was doing with pictures and videos. I could see from the videos that my dog really loved spending time with her; I believe her extensive knowledge and background experience in animal care helps to endear her to all types of animals. She also kept my home in spotless condition; I believe it was actually cleaner when I got home than it was when I left! She made my trip that much better, knowing that my boy was in safe hands. Overall, I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found Jessica, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for house-sitting services.

FAQs for House Sitting - Plymouth Township
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Plymouth Township on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Plymouth Township. 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 Township 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 Township 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 Township 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
