“Hailey gave our little toy poodle excellent care! Honey warmed up to Hailey very quickly. Hailey followed all my instructions. I appreciated how she kept in touch with me about Honey and how she was doing. I would definitely have Hailey watch our pet again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets practically my whole life. I grew up with two cats and a dog - all from a local rescue that I volunteered at since I was 8 years old. I worked on socialization with dogs and cats and have grown up training basic behaviors and tricks with dogs (including agility with my childhood dog). Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on my to walk, feed, and even train their furry family members. I also have volunteered throughout the years at a vet clinic taking care of animals including giving meds, daily care and exercise. I graduated from Purdue with my B.S. in Animal Science where I took all of the companion animal classes offered and even helped to teach one. I am also experienced in taking care of a variety of animals including fish, horses, reptiles, birds and more! I work second shift in healthcare, so I am available for morning walks and drop-ins on your pets and I have late night availability as well. I have open availability on weekends. It’s an honor to be trusted to take care of someone’s furry family, and my first priority is making sure the owners and animals trust me and are confident in my ability to keep them safe and happy. I work with each client to meet their individual pet care needs.
“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”
“Jessie was so so so amazing!!! Beyond professional and asked us so many thorough questions during the meet and greet we felt really good about leaving our babies in her care while out of the country!! We were able to have a relaxing vacation knowing our animals and house were safe !!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.
“Judy did a great job with our dog. She was very responsive to texts and kept us informed during her stay at our house. She left the house as clean as when she came. We will definitely use her again when we are traveling.”
About: I’ve had experience caring for horses, cats, and dogs. I have nursed many cats back to health in my youth on the farm. I have trained my two puppies and am happy to help in any way possible. I do have experience with diabetes and insulin injections. Senior care with blindness, deafness, and senility is something I’ve very familiar with as well. I am a stay at home dog mom of 3 and cat mom of 1 and have an open schedule to help care for your pets too. I am meticulously tidy and respectful of homes. I am honest and trustworthy and treat your home as I treat my own. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy environment while you’re away and for your pets to be as stress free as possible.
“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”
“We booked Sarah last minute, like the day before our trip! She was quick to come over to meet us and our two beagle boys and learn their daily routine and needs. She was gracious to not only dog sit but house sit for 6 nights, and 7 days. We even added an extra night last minute. Sarah took great care of our boys, and communicated by sending us messages and pictures daily. She even vacuumed the floors and washed their blankets during the week. The house was just as clean when we arrived home as it was the day we left. I recommend Sarah for anyone’s pet sitting needs. Thank you again Sarah for the peace of mind of knowing our babies were well taken care while we were away.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from helping with my grandma’s pup to raising my own three miniature dachshunds. My childhood dog, a white Lab-Husky mix, sparked my lifelong love for animals. With years of hands-on experience, I treat every pet like family. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I’m always up early to let the dogs run around the back yard. Walks, playtime, and cuddles with my own dogs is so important. So adding another furry friend is easy. I love keeping them happy, comfy, and feeling at home. Our dogs have a huge fenced in yard with toys everywhere. In the summers they love swimming and being outside. I have 3 dogs so walks are always interesting but since they have been getting bigger they are understanding better.
“Vada was awesome! My dog can be very anxious and I always worry about him but Vada communicated so well with me and it was my first trip not worrying the entire time. I am so thankful! She spent so much time with him and kept him very happy!”
“Farrah is amazing! She took such great care of Percy while we were away—super responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. She kept us updated with cute pics and made sure everything ran smoothly. We came home to happy Percy and a tidy house. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.
About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.
About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!
About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buckeye. 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 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 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.
