“If you’re thinking about booking Caresse, just do it! She did a great job with my two dogs and cat. She left my house cleaner than when I left, and sent pictures and videos every day. That peace of mind is priceless! Thank you Caresse!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Autumn watching our dog, Bandit. We came home to a clean & tidy place plus one happy pup. We appreciated receiving pictures, reassuring that bandit was having a great time and looked content. We would absolutely recommend Autumn’s services and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Amanda took great care of our dog, cats, and home while we were traveling internationally for two weeks. It was nice to have someone we could trust to keep everyone safe and happy. We would definitely rebook!”
About: Fort Collins established pet sitter - with most of my work through word of mouth and private care. Personally I grew up with a German Shepherd/Lab mix which before college. While in college, I began dog sitting privately and loved the joy dogs bring and how great care is searched for while you go on vacation/work trips/you name it. I know how to provide the best of care for pets down to the most specific details which you desire for your pet. I have also watched pets for numerous friends which have gone out of town for a week or a couple of days. I have a full time job with flexibility to provide the best care available. Pet care is important and fits in well with my breaks for work. Additionally, I make sure specific needs are met to ensure you’re pet is cared for to the max. At home, I can take care from 1-4 pets at a time. I ensure they’re safe every time they go out, make sure doors are close in area that should not be trespassed, as well as make sure things they can reach for are out of reach.
“This was my first time using Erika and she was great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions, as Ginger was anxious from the wind and unknown reasons. Erika is very caring and I can tell she loves animals. Ginger was happy and healthy when I came home and my house was clean and well cared for!”
About: Hi, a little about myself. I have a french bulldog named peach and two cats! Smidge and Dee. I love animals and have tons experience taking care of them. Such as walking/ running and simple care. Brushing, playing etc. Ask me anything! I am new to the area and currently substitute teaching. My schedule is flexible and I can work around what is best for you and your pets. I have stayed with dogs that were aggressive to anyone that wasn’t their owner. By day two we were good friends and would get excited when I visited. I am very patient and understanding. Which helps when getting to know new pets!
“Jessica was wonderful! She helped us out after a last minute cancellation and was very communicative and easy to work with! She handled my disorganization so wonderfully. Will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Mary is so wonderful! She is not only kind, but incredibly dilligent and responsive with updates. She went above and beyond to take care of my pets, and I could not have asked for a better sitter! I highly recommend 😊 She also takes fantastic photos of pets!”
“Kelly was perfect. Played with Zeus, was a real friend to him. She kept me informed with pictures and videos. House was left spotless. Just can't say enough good things about her. Defiantly give her the highest rating possible. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with her.”
“Gloria was a wonder sitter. Our pup, bunny and fish were very well cared for! Our pup is a senior and she went above and beyond to make sure his needs were met! She was very communicative, respectful and responsible with our animals and home! I will definitely be using her again and can’t rate her high enough.”
“We had a great experience and are very thankful for the care our two dogs received over the week. Leaving them with someone else is never taken lightly, and it was clear from the start they were in capable, attentive hands. Both dogs were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we returned. Communication throughout the stay was consistent and reassuring, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free on our end. It was evident that genuine effort was put into maintaining their routines and ensuring they felt at ease. We are very grateful for the time, energy, and care that went into watching them, and we would not hesitate to work together again in the future or recommend their services to others.”
About: I’m a firm believer that pets are family, and while you’re away, I’m happy to step in as their temporary favorite auntie. Whether your dog wants adventure, belly rubs, and someone to enthusiastically admire their favorite toy, or your cat prefers to conduct a thorough background check before allowing me within six feet of them, I’m here for it! I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I’ll take care of the practical things: feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, medications, and whatever else your pet needs. But I’m also there for the important stuff: playtime, cuddles (when invited!), enrichment, and plenty of reassuring attention. And of course, you’ll get photos and updates so you can see that your little one is happy, safe, and being at least a little spoiled. 😉 My goal is for your pets to feel like you never really left, and for you to enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I work during the week, but I’m fortunate to have a schedule that allows me to spend time with your pets throughout the day. I’m happy to start the morning with them, stop by during my lunch break for some attention and a potty break or litter check, and come back in the evening for dinner, playtime, walks, and cuddles. On weekends, I have considerably more flexibility and love nothing more than settling in for a longer visit, a lazy afternoon, or some extra snuggle time. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home, which can be a wonderful option for pets who are happiest in their own familiar surroundings. I’ll be there for their evening routine, overnight company, and morning routine, while keeping things as close to their normal schedule as possible. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, several visits throughout the day, or a cozy overnight stay, I’m happy to find the arrangement that gives both you and your pet the most peace of mind. Your pets’ safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could help keep your pet secure, and I follow your instructions and routines closely. During visits and overnight stays, I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I have any concerns. When staying in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of keeping doors locked, keeping your pets safely indoors, and leaving things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets and your home are in thoughtful, trustworthy hands.
“Christine was wonderful with our dog, Linus. Linus is very leery of new people and it takes some patience to fully gain his trust, to understand and appreciate him! She was perfect for him! They were fast friends and he was a happy pup in our absence. What more could a dog mom want!? Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my household ever since I was born, in that time 2 of my 6 dogs have had puppies which I have raised. As my dogs aged I’ve taken care of them in their senior state. After turning 16 I’ve expanded my care to the local dog shelter and within my neighborhood. I am currently in summer break from school until august 10 when I go to Colorado for college. I am free mostly any day before then. I have a fenced yard with 2 other dogs who live completely outside, they are great with other dogs. My parents and younger sister live with me. Unfortunately my father doesn’t allow larger dogs in the house so they will spend the day in the yard where there is water, shade, and if needed, a separate section to be away from my dogs.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, both for daily routines and extended stays. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a calm, reassuring presence. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with especially good availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available on weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or extra play and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow care instructions closely and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or out on walks, I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and surroundings. I’m respectful of your space, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life! I’ve assisted in his care for a good portion of that time as well. Since I was a kid I’ve been fortune enough to take care of many family members’, friends’, and neighbors’ pets! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and more! I love all animals and would love to connect and take care of yours! I do have a full time job, but I would love to take care of your pets in my spare time! I’m available all day on weekends! During the week I’m available from 5pm till 10pm! I like the most important thing is to take care of those pets that you love! I would love to assist in that and provide them with comfort, love, and care! I would love to take out pets, walk them, feed them, groom them, play with them, and just given them someone to connect with while your not available to!

The average cost of House Sitting in Buckeye is $25 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $28 per night.

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 Buckeye 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 Buckeye 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 Buckeye 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 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.

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.
