About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.
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.
“Thank you Terri and Mike! You guys did an awesome, excellent job caring for my baby boy Jimbo! Looking forward to using your services in the future! Great job!!!!”

“Regina was amazing. Our fur babies were very very well cared for. We have two dogs and two cats. Everything was done to keep the pets and the house happy. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend.”
About: Taking care of animals including dogs and cats was responsibility I learned at a very young age. My friends and family have relied and trusted me to care for and walk there pets when needed. I’m currently working part time with not many restraints on my schedule and I will be very flexible for your pet and their schedule :) I will stay with your pup throughout there 30 min potty break and makes sure everything goes smooth and your pup can get some energy out also.
“We have used Emily before and Max just loves her. She takes great care of him and he loves that he can set on her lap and cuddle. Emily is very respectful of our home and you can't even tell she was there. We will definitely be using Emily again when the need arises. Thank you Emily”
About: Ive taken care of dogs that range from chihuahuas to pit bulls, including dogs that have had past trauma. I’ve learned to understand how to care for them in the best, most loving way possible. I work in the sports industry so in the offseason is when I have the most free time. This summer is when I’ll be able to devote all my time to taking care of furry friends! I have a backyard with shall and turf that furry friends can use to play or use the bathroom. I also have a two story town home where they can roam and play as needed

“Juliette was great! She took great care of my 3 dogs, and my house also looked great! She kept in touch with us while we were away and sent us updates every day! I hope to use her again in July.”
“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: 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.

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 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 1,036 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.
