“Angelica was amazing! She watched over our dog, Polly, for several days and treated her with such care. Angelica was very communicative and shared lots of photos which we loved. We’d absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“We had Danielle watch our pup for a weekend at our home and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was completely stress free with her watching our dog & house!”
“Robert is an absolute lifesaver! He made my girls and me feel so relaxed and comfortable for our first time having a dog sitter. He kept us updated every day, and even though my girls have some anxiety issues, he handled everything so smoothly. Thanks again Rob and Rover!!!”
“Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, respectful and attentive to every detail. She asked thoughtful and important questions, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her! She was early for both our meet and greet and her visit, and her communication and reliability were amazing. I truly couldn’t rate her highly enough and look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”
“Dawn is awesome. She took great care of our two Yorkies. One of them is quite anxious and he loved her. She is kind and patient and the dogs definitely can sense her great energy!”
“Brian took great care of our Gracie and our home. Gracie is very energetic 2 year old. Brian walked her at least 3 times a day as well as playing with her. He sent us many photos which helped us greatly as this was our first trip away from Gracie. He was very attentive to her. We will definitely hire Brian again for our next trip if he is available.”
“Chris was fantastic with our dogs! Our boy can be a typical husky but Chris was excellent with his high energy! They both seemed to have a wonderful time with her. She took them on nice long walks and lots of play time. We are so thankful to Chris for taking such great care of our babies so we could have a worry free weekend!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, hamsters, bunnies, fish, chinchillas, ferrets, and more! I have over 5 years of experience as a professional animal care-taker where I cared for all sorts of animals as well as gave advice to customers on individual issues with their pets. My family also owns a farm so I learned a respect for animals at a very young age! Currently I have 2 rambunctious pet ferrets but growing up I had 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bunny, and fish! I have cared for many dogs and puppies in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I love dogs of all sizes and don't mind caring for multiple pets. I am currently a student, so I'll have plenty of time for walks, to play fetch with your energetic puppy, clean up soiled puppy pads, whatever you need! I'm available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I can take your pups for as many walks as you'd like; I am a very active person who loves walking/hiking! If you have a high-energy dog I can also take them on my daily runs! If your pet is more relaxed, I also love just spending time playing and giving lots of pets.
“I can’t say enough about Alyssa, she was GREAT!!! Very caring and kind to my dog Teddy. She took him for walks and recorded it. Which was wonderful to see. Also took pictures of him eating. Which always makes me happy. You don’t have to worry when Alyssa is there. I would highly recommend her. You will be completely satisfied. Ty again Alyssa😃”
“When I come home after Hailey has stayed with Rosie, she is so chill and relaxed because she's with a friend and in her environment. It's like I never left -- except the house is super clean and neat! I always hope Hailey is available when I have a trip planned :)”
“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
“Kat was amazing! We are so thrilled with the care she provided to our dog and cat. Having not traveled for the last year and a half, we were worried how the pets (and us, honestly) would handle the separation. Kat was so kind to both our pets and us - she sent us pictures of them every day and kept us updated on how they were doing. Both the dog and cat loved being with her - when we got home, they were both happy, relaxed, and not stressed from the separation at all. Kat went above and beyond in her care for them - taking our dog on lots of walks and even visiting a nearby park with him. She made sure our cat got plenty of time out in the yard (his favorite!). Kat kept our house super clean and was such an overall pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Alex was wonderful with my dog and cat! So communicative and followed instructions well. My sometimes-nervous pup was comfortable and relaxed in all photos and I came home to two happy and healthy pets. Would definitely work with Alex again!”
“Justine did a wonderful job caring for our dog for the first time on two overnight stays. Our 10-year old pup is very anxious with rain and storms, and Justine made sure she was comfortable while we were away. Our dog also takes time to warm up to new people, and Justine was very patient with her, coming to visit several times before our trip to make sure the stay went smoothly. We will definitely call her again if we need someone to watch or walk our dog at our house!”

Neda watched our cats for a week and took great care of them. Our resident cat is a happy to meet new people and Neda spent time cuddling and playing with her. Our foster cat is very, very timid and Neda messaged a few times to ask about her habits and if her hiding all the time is normal. Neda was easy to communicate with, quick to respond to questions I had and was nice enough to bring in packages that were delivered during her stay. We will definitely use her sitting services again!
Thank you Robert for taking care of my 2 papillons Annie and Zac. We came out of town to tour Fonthill castle & Mercer museum (no pets allowed) cannot speak for them, but they looked happy when I returned after our tour (6.5hrs). Did recieve pics of them Would use him again if in that area. Thanks again Robert
Thank you Sam for all your time and care taking care of the girls. We truly hope to see you soon. Samantha was truly an outstanding sitter. Sam took great care of my two girls while I had a long work day. Sam was very respectful and wonderful with my girls. Sam kept in touch with me from time of arrival to finished for day. Sam sent pictures and kept me update to how the girls were doing through out the day. I can not say enough wonderful things about Sam. Sam is a great sitter who is caring and attentive with dogs. I would highly recommend. Thanks again Sam-truly the best. 5 stars

FAQs for House Sitting - Buckingham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buckingham on Rover is $50.64 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 5,448 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.

- 90% 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.
