“If I could’ve given more than five stars, I would have!!! Aaliyah was fabulous! We love her the dogs love her. The house was in perfect shape. I can’t thank her enough!”
“We'd give John 10 stars if it were an option. He took magnificent care of our 2 boys. He sent multiple pics and videos every day. And went above and beyond by picking up our mail, dealing with Amazon deliveries, stripped and washed the sheets from the bed he slept in, and even cleaned the fridge! Hands down the best pet-sitter we've ever hired!!”
“Wonderful experience. She updated me frequent and sent pictures. That made me feel really secure and knew that they were being taken care of. Will for sure use again.”
About: I have one year of experience caring for pets, and I absolutely love it! I’ve taken care of dogs, making sure they’re well-fed, walked, and comfortable. I’m reliable and make sure to keep their routines, giving them plenty of attention and love so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to ensure I have time for feeding, walking, and playing with each pet in my care, whether at my home or a client’s. I make sure to give each pet the attention and care they need, balancing my day around their routines. Staying organized and flexible allows me to keep up with my other commitments while still making pets my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax and feel at home. I keep a close eye on them, follow their usual feeding and walking schedules, and give them plenty of playtime and affection. I keep any special needs or routines in mind to make their stay comfortable and familiar. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their regular schedule and routines as much as possible to minimize stress. I make sure their food, water, and walk times are consistent, and I keep the home tidy and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos, so my clients feel connected while they’re away!
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.
“Another great sitting session. Akira rolled our trash can in when she didn’t have to and ran the dishwasher. Rufus was happy and well behaved. She sent pictures and videos. Akira was in constant communication. I already have her booked again. Leaving my baby at home with someone I know is taking care of him makes traveling less stressful.”
“Nicole was fantastic with my senior pups during her housesitting stay! Mobility issues and medications were handled with great care. Lots of cute pics were provided and my pups soaked up every minute of love and attention. Nicole has stellar communication skills and was very flexible when I had a last minute change in plans. I will definitely book her housesitting services again. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family. Have experience with cats, puppies , small / medium and senior dogs. Have also boarded small dogs in my home. I am retired and available anytime for pet sitting, boarding or small/medium dog walking. I can also care for your cat, or other small animals I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly 9 month old puppy at home. I can also crate your dog if desired .
About: I’m 26 years old. I currently work full time so I would be part time during the weekends. I’m a huge animal lover! Always adore spending time with animals. Unfortunately I live in an apartment that does not allow me to boarder other pets, so your fur baby cannot stay with me but I’m more than happy to come to them. My schedule would be during the weekend and some holidays. With working full time 40 hours a week it makes it a little difficult to help during the week, but I am happy to help during weekends! My pets and every pet I am lucky enough to meet is family, they are protected and given all the love, care, and attention they deserve and need!
About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life! Currently, I own two dogs and I treat them like children. I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. My family and friends would ask me to watch, feed, walk and play with their dog when out of town. I work from home so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am available for weekend boarding, drop off anytime. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can play with your fur baby. I have a crate for your fur baby if needed.
“Michelle was amazing! We received regular updates and she was so patient and sweet with our shy 1 year old puppy and cuddly 16 year old! She left the house super tidy and went above and beyond with ensuring things were all set before she left. Would highly recommend Michelle!”
About: I've cared for a wide range of animals in my life; but mostly cats and dogs. I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs and I find it very easy and fun to work with them. I've raised kittens and puppies, as well as elderly animals. I have no issues with feeding, walking, or cleaning up after any animal. During the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, I have some time off from college and want to spend that extra time interacting with pets! I can work every day of the week and the weekend and can also do overnight care. I have a very reactive dog at my house that can be hard to control, but I'm able to get him on walks without escaping my grip. I'm stronger than I look! But I also treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness. I don't believe in negative reinforcement and I will treat your pet like royalty!
“Chrisztina was amazing with my pet furry boys. She sent me videos and pictures every day. She understood that Oscar has never being boarded or left our sides since he was two months old. Charlie was adjusted fine. Oscar likes to follow us around the house or he is in his home. I believe he knew that we left him as he followed Chrisztina everywhere too. I love Chrisztina for her get go personality. She really does care care about animals. Also, she’s very reasonable, too reasonable. She should increase her fee.”
“Skipper did an excellent job. I am so thankful he came and took such good care of my cats. The automatic feeder has a gel pack to keep out moisture broke and dispersed into the food. It was the perfect example of why even with an automatic feeder it is important to have someone check on the animals. Skipper provided excellent communication and updates.”
“Marietta was absolutely the BEST!! From the very first visit, we knew we had finally found an extra special pet sitter! Her calm spirit, warm personality, and caring approach to our three dogs was remarkable! It was evident how they instantly felt right at ease with her! She was punctual, followed all instructions we provided to her before our trip, and kept in contact with us, along with sending several photos throughout our time away. She even kept the house clean and handled taking the trash out. We recommend her 1000%!! :)”
“Allison was fantastic! She stayed in my home and took great care of my very anxious dog. She took Lucy on daily walks and numerous car rides and kept me well updated throughout. She was gracious and flexible enough to add an additional night when my flight home was cancelled, leading me to arrive a day later than planned. She stayed until I was able to confirm that my new flight landed and I was on my way home. She left my home immaculate as well.”
“Tyler was amazing. Extremely communicative, but a good balance of not being overbearing. Asked the important questions, including idiosyncrasies about the dogs, and was able to send photos and updates throughout the trip. He truly bonded with them instead of treating it like just a job. We will use him again !”
“Matthew was great!! We have a 5 month old vizsla puppy and he came and stayed at our house. He took Mater on long walks, always sent updates, photos, and videos. Mater was so happy when we got home, but also seemed like he missed his new friend! Matthew also cleaned the sheets, made the bed and washed all the towels. He kept the house very clean! Thank you so much!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Social Plains
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Social Plains on Rover is $59.34 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,055 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Social Plains. 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 Social Plains 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 Social Plains 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 Social Plains 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.
