“Nicole was very kind and responsible. She sent lots of pictures and spent plenty of time making sure my 3 month old puppy was happy and well rested. I would book her again in the future!”
“Michael was AWESOME! Because of some behavior issues with our dogs, boarding them wasn't an option. This was our first vacation since COVID so our dogs had never been left alone. As you can imagine, we were nervous to find someone whom we trusted with our precious dogs. We had no reason to worry. Michael took the time to meet with us and our dogs before our trip. We reviewed routines and familiarized him to our home. During our vacation he kept in contact with us by messaging questions and updates with pictures. He was even able to get our dogs to let him put on their harnesses and go for walks (previously they only let us do that). Needless to say we felt very at ease knowing Michael was caring for them. We will definitely be using Michael again in the future.”
“Melissa was great with our dogs for a long weekend, she communicated every day and sent a ton of pictures! The house was also in great condition on our return! Will definitely be using Melissa for our doggo needs in the future!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”
“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”
“Keira was great with our Izzy. Lots of outdoor time enjoying some fresh air sunshine (and a definite perk according to Izzy). Kiera was responsive, communicative, and the house was clean when we got home. Izzy was calm and happy upon our return. We will definitely be connecting with Kiera again for future trips.”
“Daniel took care of our two boys while we were away. He gave them lots of love and attention providing us with daily photos. He was very respectful of house rules. We will be using him in future.”
“Alexis was awesome! She responded quickly to messages and kept us updated with how our cat was doing through our vacation. Our cat can be very hesitant and intimidating in his behavior with new people - Alexis came right in without hesitation and put us to ease that she would work around him. I would absolutely recommend Alexis to someone in the area looking for a cat sitter. We will definitely look to Alexis next time we need cat sitting services!”
“Angelica did a fabulous job watching my Aussidoddle and my Sheltie. Would highly recommend her for house sitting She watched my babies for a week while we were on vacation and sent us a bunch of pictures.”
“Melissa was absolutely exceptional with our two senior dogs and puppy — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was remarkably polite and communicative, keeping us updated throughout with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos so we always felt connected to our pets. She took outstanding care of both our animals and our home, and we were genuinely touched to return to a house that was in even better shape than we’d left it. That kind of initiative and attention to detail is rare and truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she handled an unexpected situation when our puppy fell ill during the stay. Without hesitation, Melissa took her to the emergency vet and stayed by her side until we returned home. Her calm, compassionate response made all the difference — our puppy recovered quickly and is doing wonderfully. Melissa has earned our complete trust and will be our absolute first call every time we need a pet sitter. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own.”
About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs since i was 12. I use to work for pet care and got cpr training from there too. Im always active, i love walking, lifting, and being on the move for work. Walking dogs and playing with them, that makes me so happy. I will always walk them at their speed and play as much as they want. Making sure they’re safe, and making sure they’re comfortable too.
“My 3 babies LOVED Leigh and I was kept up to date on how they were doing the while time! She totally understood my insane love for my dogs and cared for them as I would. She gave our older dog her meds, played with our energetic teen pup and kept our puppy on her schedule, all this at the last minute! We will use her again!”
“Nathaniel was great with the pups, and he left the house as clean (or maybe cleaner) than we left it for him! Our pups were in great shape when we returned and we'll gladly book with Nathan again!”
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and following each pet’s routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of while their owner is away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your needs. Share your requested times, and I will confirm my availability promptly im very reliable I am committed to maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for all pets. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and ensure pets are cared for in a calm, secure, and loving setting at all times
About: I have been pet and house sitting since 2022. So far I have been pet sitting for friends and their friends, but I wanted to extend my services to the lovely people in my area. I grew up with a big dog as our family pet. Though he is no longer with us he was the perfect sassy addition to our family. Since I have started pet sitting I have had 4-legged clients of ALL sizes, we are talking teacup pup to 100+ lbs. I also have experience with all ages ranging from ~6months to senior and I understand their different needs and energy levels. I love to run and walk especially when a doggy friend tags along. I am by no means a professional trainer but I understand dog’s need for clear commands and exercise I am an engineering student at GMU and my schedule can be a little funky compared to a typical 9-5. Please reach out to check my specific daily and long term availability! I take very great care for the safety of the animals that I watch over. I take special care when unleashing dogs to make sure that we are in a secure location (ex. Closed garage/door or fence). While on walks, even with friendly dogs, I try to stay away from others to prevent any potential incidents from happening. I also have experience with giving animals oral medication. I take close care to keep the medications on schedule and triple check that the medication was taken and not spit out (they can be sneaky sometimes).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my childhood life and I’m currently loving on two cats in my home❤️ I believe ALL pets deserve the best care and unconditional love throughout their life. Most of my experience comes from puppies and adult dogs (both genders) I have plenty of patience for the pets that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks on Tuesday and Thursday’s. And midday and evening walks on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you need a special time please feel free to reach out! I will ensure that your pet will be safe, comfortable, and cozy in his/her environment or mine. I will also be around the pet constantly to ensure that they are ok and not having any stressful movements with any of the changes.

Evelyn was so sweet and took amazing care of our cat and dog! She’s super adaptable and communicative. We had workers at our house while we were gone and her number 1 priority was making sure our pets weren’t stressed and still felt loved. We’d love to have her again!
Christine took care of my fur baby at my place for a week while I was out of the country. From the very first meeting I could see how good she is with pets, my dog really liked her and knowing she has 5 dogs of her own gave me a sense of peace. She communicated everyday, sending me updates and pictures of my dog while I was away. I was very pleased with the care she gave my dog, I hightly recommend her. I know I will be calling on her next time I need a pet/house sitter.
What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.
Melika was a fantastic sitter for our very opinionated elder beagle. She played age appropriate games with him, carried him up the stairs and kept him company on the couch. She was also very communicative which helped soothe my nerves about leaving our doggo for several days. She also took care of our house, which was cleaner than we left it. 100% would recommend her.
I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!
Ive always been very nervous about trying Rover, but our new dog is too shy and sensitive for boarding, so we had to try sometime new. NO REGRETS! Michael watched our 2 dogs in our home, one very shy, and our very elderly shy cat for 10 days. Michael is great with animals and their individual needs, he even managed to befriend our shy guy Henry. As someone who has bad separation anxiety when it comes to her pets, I did much better than I usually do too compared to using boarding in the past, lol. We came home to 3 happy healthy pets and would definitely hire Michael again in the future.
Shannon was Great. My Sammy warmed up to her immediately and excited to see her each time she came. She kept me informed and sent pictures of my boy often. Made sure she was him if a thunderstorm rolled in because he gets extremely nervous with the sound of thunder and lightning. I would use her again without any hesitation!

FAQs for House Sitting - Buckhall
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buckhall on Rover is $36.38 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 9,217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buckhall. 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 Buckhall 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 Buckhall 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 Buckhall 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.
