“Sandra was wonderful to work with. She was respectful, kind, clean and attentive. She took care of our dogs and they quickly bonded to her while she stayed at our house. She communicated the whole time we were away and sent us pictures of their snuggles and activities. She was flexible and even stayed an extra day when our flight was cancelled and followed up to make sure the dogs were okay after her visit. I trust her with our home and dogs and would 100% book her again. It was such a relief to know they were loved and taken care of while we were away visiting family. Thanks for loving our little gremlins like your own Sandra!”
“Ashley watched my elderly dog for 5 nights on our first booking and I came home to a happy and spoiled pup, a clean house, mail on the kitchen table… everything as I would hope. I received lots of pictures and videos and I can just tell my dog was so well cared for. Feeling really thankful and I’ll definitely be hiring Ashley again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. Family friends have always relied on me for help. They trust me more than anything else. Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and patient animal lover who treats every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll provide plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, communicate well, and I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them the love and care they deserve! I have 2 family golden-doodles who have taught me huge amounts about dogs! My family adopted them when they were puppies and have been adored since.
“Olivia did great with my pup! She sent pictures and did daily check ins to reassure my heart while I was away. She also was able to help manage the issues my dog experienced with separation anxiety. She’s great!”
“Emma was great with our senior boy Baal. He injured his eye right before we left so it was threatening to rupture, and Emma did everything necessary to keep him comfy and safe. I really appreciated the daily updates and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Emma was comfortable with the medication, eye drops, and clean up necessary. Excellent communication and care!”

“Amazing care and fun updates. Our pets will miss Ben for sure! He went above and beyond making every day active and interesting for the doggies. By far the best, most reliable pet sitter we have had.”
About: I’ve lived with animals since I was born and can’t remember a time without pets in my home. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Right now, I care for three former stray cats, eight lionhead rabbits, and one dog. I handle every animal with patience, love, and attention to their needs. I work part-time at the college on weekdays with alternating morning or afternoon shifts, so I’m available either before or after work. I’m free every Friday afternoon, all evenings, and weekends. I can also schedule ahead for walks or visits on school days. I love pets and I make sure to treat every animal with respect. I stay aware of hazards or anything that could harm them, especially when they’re young, shy, or curious. I always approach animals with patience and extra care so they feel safe and comfortable.
“She is kind and sent pictures. She took her for walks and played in the back yard with her balls. Coco really likes her. Kelli gave us comfort in leaving Coco with her. We would have her back again.”
About: Hi! My name is Anna. I’ve taken care of many animals over the years, mostly dogs and cats! I grew up on a homestead with a big garden, and horses, chickens, and cats. Aside from adorable animals, my love is traveling. I've lived in California, Alaska, Mexico, and Germany & traveled to over 50 countries. I love to hike and go on runs/walks. I have done over 25 different pet sits, but I am new to Rover :) - 2 months house- and pet-sitting in Mumbai, India for 2 older cats. They were shy but I won them over in the end :) - in college, I worked at a horse boarding facility. Mostly feeding and mucking out stables! I work full time online as a mechanical engineer so I’ll be home most of the time. I go for a walk/run outside every morning and night - with the pets if they are up for it! :) I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and very careful to wear masks & use hand sanitizer when in public spaces. I don’t smoke & am vegetarian. I am definitely an introvert. I always leave your home tidy & as I found it. My goal is for your pets to feel at home while you’re away & for you to feel at home when you get back!
“We are very happy Madison agreed to watch our fur army in our home. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated on how they were doing and when we arrived back home, our house was very neat and tidy and our fur babies looked like they had a great weekend! We highly recommend Madison and we hope she will be available for the next time we have to go away!”
“Austin is a great guy. He bonded with my dog quickly, kept me informed via text as to how things were going and left my house in great shape. I highly recommend using Austin as your pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buckhorn Springs
Darla really showed up for us. Our previously booked cat sitter was a no-show before we discovered ROVER app. We were thrilled to hear back immediately from Darla who was available last minute to sit for ‘Joe’. Darla was easy to communicate with, gave us updates with photos and left our home in perfect condition. We look forward to having Darla back again soon.

FAQs for House Sitting - Buckhorn Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buckhorn Springs on Rover is $64.55 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 197 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buckhorn Springs. 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 Buckhorn Springs 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 Buckhorn Springs 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 Buckhorn Springs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buckhorn Springs. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
