“Sereniti was amazing taking care of my dog during a 3 night stay, and I could tell she was treated like family. I got updates and pictures that showed Diamond happy, relaxed, and having fun. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I travel! Thanks again.”
About: I have been fostering animals for 4–5 years, caring for pets ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and more. Animals have been a part of my life since day one, and I have a precious fur baby of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and someone they can feel safe and loved with too. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur babies! I work full time from Tuesdays to Saturdays however I do dictate my own schedule and I am able to work my schedule out a bit. I usually go into work between 8-10am and leave between 4-6pm. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I believe they are happiest in their own environment surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and comfort. I will come to you, so your pet never has to leave the place they love most. You can trust that your home and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect. My focus is entirely on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you are away.
“Malena did a great job taking care of my cat and dog while we were away. She also stayed at my home and everything was perfect when I got home. She was kind and gentle with my pets. I would highly recommend her and would certainly use her in the future.”
About: I volunteered with a puppy rescue for two years, which entailed taking care of dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. My responsibilities included cleaning kennels, playing with pups, feeding pups, and occasionally medicating them. Dogs bring me so much happiness, so taking care of yours will be a joy! I am a recently graduated college student, so I have lots of time during the week to get out and about! I am an early riser, so mornings are not a problem for me. I can play with, feed, walk, or simply supervise pets in the client's home. I can also bring pets to my own home, which has lots of living room space and a good neighborhood to walk in.
“Emily was awesome she took care of my 3 pups for the weekend while I was attending a wedding out of town she took great care of them sending me updates and pictures I will definitely be using her service again in the future Thank you Emily”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my Ellie! Ellie is a handful and Mary was just so good with her! Sent me plenty of photo and text updates and made me feel so much more at ease. I will be using her in the future for sure!”
“Emily is great with our boys and they love having her stay! She’s very communicative and we are so appreciative of her! We will continue to be repeat clients of hers!”
“Charles was kind, responsive, and took amazing care of our dogs. He checked in with us daily and sent photos. Our dogs looked happy and relaxed upon our return. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“This was our first effort to try a pet sitter. Our dog has major anxiety issues with thunderstorms. This makes it rather difficult in the Florida area during summer to leave her alone. I was so happy to find a petsitter in our local area. Regina corresponded promptly from the initial inquiry to the completion. She arrived right on time and sent several pictures to us while we were away. Our dog experienced a bloat episode, which she has had in the past, and Regina handled the episode wonderfully. She even followed up about her the next morning. Very happy with Regina and recommend her.”

“Christelle is very responsible and thorough. She took the time to make notes of all our special requests. Our two Yorkies had never been apart from us overnight (and we work from home so they are extremely attached to us). Christelle came for multiple drop-ins to help them get to know her in advance of our 5 night house sit. Thank you Christelle for taking care of our dogs while we were away.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for neighbors and family friends since middle school and I've loved it the whole time. I'll always be there for an animal in need and it's my pleasure to do so. I'm currently post graduation and looking for a job in my career field, environmental engineering. In the meantime, I've got plenty of time to be there for those in need and will make you and your pet(s) a top priority. I will treat your pet as my own, giving them the attention, love, and care that every animal deserves. No matter the case, my goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your furry friend to have someone they want to see again.
“This was our first time working with Terri and everything went perfectly! She is extremely responsive and communicated with us very well - we even got photos of our dog when we were away. She went above and beyond taking care of our house as well - she even took the garbage bins down to the curb for us. She took excellent care of both our precious dog and our home. Excellent service!”
“Juliette was fantastic with our three fur children for a long house sitting stay! She had great communication, sent us photos and videos, and took exceptional care of them. She will be our new go to sitter!”
“Lydia was excellent! Attentive, courteous, respectful and took amazing care of our two pups and outdoor cat! She stayed at our home, took great care and respect of the space, and kept in communication as needed. The dogs loved her and we look forward to being able to use her again!”
About: As a customer service professional, I have developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills that translate directly into pet care. I am comfortable following detailed instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages and temperaments and understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to plan my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. I prioritize consistency and reliability to ensure pets maintain their normal routines and feel comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering basic care as instructed, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care.
“Melissa was fantastic with my dogs. She made a few visits to make sure they knew her. She genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort to know that my pups were getting such special care while we were away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Starting watching other people’s animals around 5 years ago. i also have three dogs of my own and used to have a rabbit which was a lot of work and prepared me for more and more. I change around my schedule around it as pets deserve the same attention humans do. They are just as emotional as we are and compassionate. I keep them on leases when needed and keep them in instructed area; fenced in yard, harness, crate, gated area, etc. just basically whatever requirements needed.
“Victoria was great! Highly recommend her. She was super sweet to my pups and they sure loved all the attention she gave to each one of them. Very communicative and kept me up to date by sending me pictures of my babies.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Buckingham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buckingham on Rover is $60 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,028 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buckingham. 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 Buckingham 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 Buckingham 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 Buckingham 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.
