“Claire was wonderful with our dogs! She is incredibly gentle, kind, and patient, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. She listened carefully to all of our instructions and followed them exactly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her, and we came home to very content pups. Communication was great, and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked several more stays with her. We would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter and will definitely be hiring her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Amani is THE best. We’ve had her watch our dog Hero many many times and we can always count on her to take amazing care of him and our house. Hero loves her and all the miles of walking they clock every time she stays with him. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“This is the second time we've had Erica stay with our 3 cats while we've been away. Once again she did a fabulous job caring for them. She sent several pictures throughout the stay which helped us know that they were thriving and comfortable in her care. Upon departure, she left our house clean and tidy. Thank you Erica! We will definitely book you again.”

About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I've been the primary caregiver for my dog for 8 years and my cat for 3 years, and I've also cared for birds, hamsters, and fish. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care and will treat your pets like my own. I work full time M-T and would be willing to do a later evening drop in, but have my Friday afternoons and weekends available any time! Your pet's safety is my top priority. As a pet owner, I understand that every animal has unique behaviors and needs. Having cared for dogs with a tendency to bolt, I am especially mindful around doors, gates, and leashes and always take extra precautions to prevent escapes. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home's rules, and provide a calm, secure environment while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind.
“We could not have had a better sitter than Kelsea! It was very clear right at the get-go at our meet-and-greet that she was exceedingly competent at dog care thanks to her extensive history in dog rescue. She understood and followed all our instructions/requests with ease, such as with their diet since they needed to avoid gaining weight. She then went the extra mile by being extremely attentive to their eating habits, asking permission to alter meals so that they were eating better, which we really appreciated! Her attention to detail was impeccable. She also introduced new toys/treats for mental stimulation without causing them to gain weight (: Finally, she showed through plenty of pictures and updates how much love and attention the animals were getting! They looked so calm and happy when I returned home. If you want peace of mind that your animals are in the hands of someone who will love on them, Kelsea is your girl! Than you, Kelsea!”
“Jennifer is AMAZING! I never want to have anyone else watch my dog. She made our dog feel relaxed and loved in our home. He was fed, walked and loved for a week. Jennifer also went out of her way to keep our home clean and communicate with us whenever needed. I cannot say anything but wonderful things about Jennifer and her stay with our dog at our home.”
“I had an excellent experience with Xanthia! She took care of Daniel twice a day and was incredibly reliable and attentive. Every time she visited, she sent detailed updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Daniel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. I truly appreciated her care, communication, and kindness.”
“Stephanie did an amazing job housesitting my dog. My dog can be antisocial and pretty fearful of strangers. Stephanie remained in close contact to update me on how my dog was doing as well as how to best approach taking care of him while I was gone. Stephanie worked through adversity and stuck with the job to get the best results possible and I am very thankful for her and how she cared for my dog.”
“Alex is incredible! My dog Bear is usually aggressive with new people, but he warmed up to Alex immediately, which speaks volumes about his calm and trustworthy energy. He followed all instructions perfectly and kept us updated the whole time. Coming home to a vacuumed house and fresh sheets on the bed was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch. We will 100% be booking Alex again and can’t recommend him enough!”
“We are very happy with house and pet sitting done by Hanna. She kept us well informed and helped make it easy to enjoy our time away from home knowing our home and pet were well cared for.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Buckheaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buckheaven. 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 Buckheaven 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 Buckheaven 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 Buckheaven 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
