“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”
“This is the second booking we have done with Bethany this year. She communicates well, send pics and video, and has done well buddying up with one of our reluctant dogs.”
“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“Kathy was fantastic with our two dogs and cat. She stayed at our house for a week, kept them safe, happy, walked and fed. She is reliable and provided daily updates. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I had a border Collie for 17 years now an American shepherd for 1.5 years and he's fully trained already he's great just still a pup. Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be. Im basically free all week during the times everyone is working. Well my dog i train and make sure he's behaving before he gets a reward. I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
“Trisha was very professional and attentive to our pups! It’s easy to see how much she cares for dogs, and we’re so grateful to know that ours will be well-loved when we’re away!”
About: I’ve dog & cat sat for family & friends. This includes giving medicine , helping handicapped dogs, and feeding amongst other parts of their daily routine. I’m currently working partime so sitting is just on the side but my work schedule does not interfere , i don’t mind working and coming home to someone else’s dog in the slightest ! I treat everyone’s animals like my own. I have a cat and have had dogs in the past, i keep them on a routine & make sure their needs are taken care of at all times.
“Kelsie provided excellent care for our two occasionally temperamental dogs and endured my over-explaining with patience and grace. She provided lots of updates and took all of their quirks in stride, maintaining their regular schedule with ease. We definitely plan to book her again in the future! (And thus: We call dibs!)”
About: Hello! My name is Ari and I’m excited to meet you and your pet(s)! I am experienced in caring for all sorts of dogs and cats. I have experience with both puppies and medically complex dogs - I’ve trained 2 puppies and consistently administered insulin injections and oral medication for multiple dogs. I have a long-haired Persian cat of my own and often pet sit for my neighbor’s 3 Persians as well. I currently work part-time on a mid-day shift, which leaves me with lots of time in the mornings and evenings to check on pets. I am available most weekends as well. I am prepared to feed, clean up after, and to walk and play with dogs of all ages and sizes in your home. I live in a home of 2 healthy dogs and 1 cat.
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
“We love that we can absolutely depend on Rachel. Our pups love her and don’t miss us at all and they have separation anxiety! Rachel was kind enough to go the extra mile to help manage the pups for our wedding and watch them while we went away for our honeymoon. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures so we didn’t have to wonder how they were doing. So so grateful and will continue to book her. She treats our pups as her own!”
“Kianna was wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog Axle behind while we went on vacation. He's very hyper and jumps on new people so we needed to find someone that could handle him and help with training. We were so lucky to find Kianna! She does dog training and has experience with hyper dogs, and she lived only a few minutes away from us, so it worked out perfectly. She followed Axle's schedule and his routine and kept us posted with photos. Axle was so happy to make a new friend! Kianna will be our first choice next time we go on vacation!”
About: Experienced animal lover who has taken care of all kinds of animals. I'm willing to take care of any pets you have whether it be a dog, cat, reptile, or horse. I've had many pets growing up and have always had a passion for animals. I have a car so it is quick and easy for me to get around. I would also be willing to do any other household needs while you're away. Pay rates are negotiable and I am reasonable with pay. As a remote worker Monday and Fridays as well as not working weekends I am lucky enough to have a very flexible schedule with my job. I am always willing to work with you on what schedule works best for you and your pet. Please note: I do not work remotely Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Because of this I can not do mid day services on these days unless you are in Camp Hill. I would be able to help your pet early mornings and after 5pm. I have a dog, a cat, and a few reptiles that I take pride in caring for. Taking care of more complicated pets like reptiles and horses has ensured my attention to detail in pet care. My goal in taking care of your pet is to fulfill the needs you typically provide them while you're away. I understand that every animal is different and will need personalized care. I love animals like family, but also understand the needs and boundaries that some animals require.
About: I currently work at a pet store, meaning I work with all types of animals, but dogs being the most common one. I am the perfect fit for your fur babies. I am still a high school student, but I work for a pet store meaning I care for pets while at work and at home! I will be very slow and careful when first meeting your pets. When going outside I will make sure they are leashed and or harnessed.
“Kay was a wonderful sitter for Honey during our week away! She treated our home with the utmost care and respect while we were gone and provided excellent care for Honey. We’d have her back to watch Honey any time!”
About: I have taken care of families dogs and my own dogs since I was 8-9. I have stayed at someone’s home to watch their animals(cats, ferret, parrot, dogs) and I have also done drop in visits. I currently have a dog and cat of my own as well! I work full time as a nanny, but I’d love to provide weekend or evening care for your pets and will provide them all the care they need while you are away! I can come by to your home and crate your dog after walks if need be and follow all instructions to make your animal feel safe and secure within their home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Buck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buck on Rover is $77.42 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buck. 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 Buck 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 Buck 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 Buck 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.

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.
