“Corinne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Navi! She went above and beyond by meeting with us prior to the booking just to ensure Navi felt comfortable and safe with her. During the visit, she didn't just stick to the basics; she provided a perfect balance of playtime and exercise, letting our puppy burn off plenty of energy. It’s clear Corinne truly cares about the pets she watches. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her!”
“Brittnay was great and came last minute for a check in and potty break. One of our dogs invisible fence collar had come off and she contacted me immediately because she knew Honey was a runner.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!
“Stephanie takes great care of all of our pets, is quick to respond to questions/concerns about them, and was able to accommodate our booking on a day's notice due to a family emergency that required us to travel immediately. I highly recommend her!”
“Crystal was wonderful with drop-in visits for my two cats. She was great about communicating and the cats loved her. I came home to a full water and food bowl, clean litter box, and the trash was even taken out. I will use her again and 100% recommend her to other!”
“Marta took great care of Misty!! (And cleaned up some unexpected messes too!) Misty was happy and well fed when we returned! Looking forward to booking with her in the future :)”
About: I was a hands on member in my own dogs professional training, and I have taken care of friends and family’s dogs of all ages and breeds so there’s really nothing I haven’t seen before. That being said, I am well-versed in the high demand and needs of puppies and can confidently say that I am trained to care for them and all the hurdles that they entail. Having rescued my fur baby as a puppy off of the streets, she’s had her fair share of difficulties. Everyday has been such a blessing to see how far she’s come, and continues to. I have such a firm belief that dogs are truly a man’s best friend, and their greatest companion and deserve all the time and love that they deserve. Just from getting in walks everyday, to intentionally setting time aside to play with them is so important. In my home, I pretty much hang out with my Blaze as much as I possibly can. Every hour that I’m home, my dog is right by my side. Even when leaving the house my Blaze is in the backseat of my car ready for a road trip. I think to be deserving of a dogs love means putting in the time to treat them with the care they require, whether that time goes to an extra long walk, or play time with the ball, or even making sure she’s getting all the nutrients she needs in her food. How I can for my dog is how I intend to care for any future clients dog, with care and time.
“Vinny helped me ensure my pets had great care during a family emergency. I am forever grateful for his prompt help and excellent care, it was such a comfort to know my pets were taken care of and I didn’t need to worry about them at all. Thank you!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walker? Well, I’m a graduate in zoology and conservation biology which means I’m not only committed to caring for your dog but I’m committed to a broader global mission of protecting all wildlife. Though I’ve been deprived of having a dog my whole life, I’m a huge dog and animal lover in general and have taken care of many animals from lizards, to ferrets, to primates and of course dogs. I’ve done lots of dog sitting in college and care for friends' dogs, and it’s my plan to get a dog as soon as I settle down somewhere. I'm also big hiker and runner, so if you're dog needs any form of exercise I am more than willing to help! My full time job has now ended for the summer season so I am free 24/7 for the next two months and able to do pet care whenever and wherever. Whatever service your dog needs I can provide. Whether it's feeding, going for a walk or run, monitoring them outside, entertaining, I am very responsible and get the job done as long as I there are clear instructions and necessary equipment is provided (leash, toys, food, etc). Of the pets I've owned I've always had an official schedule with feeding and watering times I strictly abide by. Most importantly, depending on the animal, I ensure play time and entertainment to ensure the animal is happy and healthy. With dogs specifically, I love to go on plenty of walks, runs and hikes if the owner is ok with it!
About: Large dogs are my specialty, I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have plenty of room to play in the back yard or go for a long walk on a nature trail. I have experience in kenneling, potty training and leash training dogs. I work full time but have every afternoon and weekend available. I would enjoy walking a pet after work and am available to do overnight care. I have a pet friendly and private apartment with a large private back yard. I am very close to the black river trail which is excellent for dog walking.
About: I grew up surrounded by all different kinds of animals. I currently work as a dog handler and spend my days watching over large packs filled with various breeds, ages and sizes. I have experience in administering medicine, deescalating fights, and even swim lessons. I’m a full time commuter student working on my masters degree. I also have a part time job at a dog daycare that I work one to two days a week at. I would be available for dog walking and drop in visits Tuesdays after 12:30 until 5, and Wednesdays and Thursdays anytime before 3. I am flexible and am able to care for your pet in any way wanted or needed. My pets at home are both free range and crate trained, so I’m comfortable with either option.
“Becky was amazing! She was very responsive and detailed with her care of our cat during the Christmas holidays and we were able to enjoy family time without worry. I would definitely rebook her and recommend her!”
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and take pride in being someone your pet will feel comfortable with right away. Over the years, I have volunteered with several local rescues where I have gained experience with all dog ages, as well as special needs dogs. Through hands-on experience, caring for dogs with different personalities/needs I have learned how important patient, routine, and clear communication are. I pay close attention to each dogs’s energy level, cues, and comfort. Whether your dog prefers a slow stroll, quiet companionship, or steady exercise I meet them where they are. I do this because I believe pets deserve calm, respectful care and owners deserve peace of mind, knowing their animals will be truly cared for as my own. I currently work full-time from home which gives me the flexibility to be available first thing in the mornings, lunchtime or in the evenings. I am available on weekends as well. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow their preferred daily routine. Whether that involves walking, feeding, or administering medications. If staying at my house, we are situated on a half acre lot with a small fenced in area. Our neighborhood is self-contained. I have 3 friendly dogs ranging from 7 months to 14 years old. If your dog prefers to be crated or to have a room of their own, I can accommodate that as well.
About: Growing up, I always had German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable caring for larger dogs and understand the love, attention, and exercise they need. I also have experience with cats and love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. Whether your furry friend is big or small, playful or laid-back, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care and treat them like family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buchanan is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $20 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 November 2026, there are 22,111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buchanan. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buchanan. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
