“We honestly could not feel more fortunate to have found Kelly to watch our elder kitties during a recent vacation. One of our cats needs twice-daily meds…and lots of social / snuggle time. We could tell from the meet-and-greet that Kelly would be the perfect fit. From answering our questions before we left to providing lots of reassuring information and pictures while we were away, her presence enabled us to relax and her vet-tech experience left us assured that the cats were in great hands. We will book Kelly without hesitation next time we go away!”

“Beth is the BOMB DIggity Doggie Caretaker! If you need someone to LOVE your baby & give them their best… you need to look NO further! Beth will treat them super special while you are away & share precious photo moments with you during her visits! I was so blessed to see my Solly enjoying his walks to his favorite spots each day! I left him some bacon as well as with her attention to my Solly while I was away! She took Solly for his daily walks & even gave him some added”

About: Growing up, my family had cats and Shih Tzu dogs. A few years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own- a 15-year-old cat. He and I were best friends until he passed away last May; he was 19 years old! I am missing my pet companionship, but am not ready to adopt another of my own. I additionally have watched roommates' dogs in the past overnight on many occasions; they had a senior pug and a puppy Norwegian elkhound. I just graduated PA school in August, and I am waiting to start my first job in January! Until then, I have no work schedule. I cannot house animals in the place I currently live in, but I am happy to do a safe visit to your home to love and take care of your beloved pets while you are gone!

“Heather took exceptional care of our cat while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She came every other day to replenish food/water, clean out the litter box, and replace towels on the floor since our cat is now peeing on the carpet. (She even did a laundry load of towels-going above and beyond!) She stayed at least 30 minutes and sent me several pictures each visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we will certainly use her again!”

About: I have had a love for pets since I was a child. I have a deep empathy for them and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, each has their own quirks and I love that. Makes each pet unique. I’m currently working full time Tuesday’s through Thursday’s (6am - 5pm.) I am more open to availability of late drop-in visits & walks in the evenings. I have two dogs at my home so I’m no stranger to managing multiple dogs at once. I can easily crate your dog if needed and offer to keep up with their training if that’s something you may be interested in.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, both professionally and personally. My daughter and I share a deep bond with our rescue cat Luna, and together we’ve learned how to build trust, respect routines, and honor each animal’s personality. I bring that same dedication to every pet I meet, offering not just care, but companionship, safety, and a sense of home while you’re away. I work part-time, but I’m never alone in caring for pets, my daughter, who studies online, helps me throughout the day. While I’m at work, she watches over our furry friends, making sure they feel safe, entertained, and never alone. Together, we create a warm environment where your pet is always part of the family. I take care of pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine carefully. Feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My daughter helps me when needed, so your pet will always have company and attention. We treat every animal with love, patience, and respect, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs, kitties, bunnies & hamsters my entire life. I have a big goofy lab of my own who is my world so I understand the hesitance of entrusting strangers to take care of your furry family members. I take pride in treating other people’s pets as I would my own, while also respecting boundaries & rules put in place by you as their owners. I am currently only available for drop ins & walks and would love to help take care of your beloved pets 💛 I am currently transitioning out of active duty military and hoping to use rover as part time work. My schedule is very open & flexible to meet your needs. I can crate your dog, walk your dog, play or provide enrichment time, feeding or administering medications as needed. Happy to help enforce minimal training during a pop-in to maintain consistency.

“Lauren has now watched our kitties for the third time, and each time we are so pleased and relieved each time she visits. The short narrative of her visit, along with pictures, let us know KC and Phoenix are in great hands! With each visit, and now multiple bookings, we can see KC is extremely comfortable with Lauren. Unfortunately Phoenix just loves to hide...but they too will one day be friends. We highly recommend Lauren for anyone who needs loving care of their pets.”

I have done drop in visits for working neighbors, or when they were vacationing. I not only make sure the house is okay but take care of there pets as well. I treat their homes and pets as though they were mine. I have experience with dogs, cats, ferel cats, small animals such as guinea pigs, hamsters, some reptiles (no snakes), fish. I also have experience administering medication if needed. I am currently unemployed so that gives me more availability to help care for you and your pets needs.

About: I would be a good sitter because not only do I love animals, but I’ve had and taken care of so many. I would love yours. I currently work full-time at an elementary school. But I know my daughter and I would love to come and play with anyone’s pups or kitties after a long work week. I have a nice sized fenced in yard, and a good sized, safe basement that I am renting at the moment. Good space for a pet

About: I have experience working with all types of animals and typical watch cats and dogs. I love animals and love getting to spend time with new fur babies. I enjoy lots of outdoor activities and would love to involve your fur babies in my daily activities while they are in my care. I am new to the area, so I'd love to meet potential clientele and become someone you count on. I can provide care at your home or my home. I have two coonhounds who love friends, but are still young pups, so they love to play. Making sure your fur babies are cared for is my important to me because I understand the concern you feel when you are leaving your babies with someone who isn't you.

About: What sets me apart is my experience and the level of care I provide. With 4 years of pet care experience, I’m very attentive to each dog’s needs—whether it’s helping train puppies, caring for senior dogs, or managing specific routines like medications or special diets. I stay organized, patient, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable, and I communicate consistently with owners so they always know their pet is in good hands. I build pet care into a structured daily routine, especially in a boarding setting. I’m used to keeping consistent schedules for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and cleaning. I also make sure each pet gets individual attention and monitor their behavior, appetite, and overall comfort. I’m comfortable adjusting routines based on each dog’s needs, including medications, special diets, or different energy levels. Staying organized and attentive is really important to me when caring for multiple pets. I care for pets by following a consistent routine while also adapting to each pet’s individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any medications are followed exactly as instructed. I keep the environment clean and safe, and I spend quality time with each pet so they feel comfortable and not stressed. I also monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and communicate with the owner if anything seems off.

About: After proudly serving in the military, I decided it was time for a change. Changing careers has opened up my schedule, giving me the opportunity to fill my time with activities I truly enjoy—especially spending quality time with the purest type of love you can get from your fur babies. I have a natural instinct to be protective. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable staying calm and stepping in when situations become stressful, including separating dogs if a conflict occurs. I also have some background experience in law enforcement. The reason I mention this is because, with me, you’re not only getting a dog sitter—you’re also getting someone you can trust to look after your home while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority to those around me. As you look through my photos, you’ll notice several dogs I’ve known and cared for since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers over the years. This is simply my first time offering those services through an app. I’d be more than happy to share stories about some of my favorite four-legged friends if you’d like to continue the conversation. They all hold a special place in my heart, and I genuinely loved spending time with them. The Siberian Husky in the photos is my sweet fur baby, Niko. It has been a couple of years since his passing, but he will always have a special place in my heart. Niko was a very loving and gentle Husky. He got along with everyone, loved wrestling with other dogs at the dog park, and enjoyed going on long walks. He was also by my side through some of the hardest times in my life. I’m not quite ready to take on the full responsibility of owning another dog, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to build a special bond with your fur baby. I hope to give them the same love, attention, and companionship I gave Niko. Working a full time job. I can possibly do Thursday evenings. I have some Fridays off/get off early from work. I’m off Saturdays and Sundays. I can be even more flexible, depending on location. I have had dogs stay with me in the past, but I am currently renting and unable to provide that service as of now. I’m available to provide love and care to your fur baby in your home, if you’d like.

Tammy has been our go-to “babysitter” for our 2 pit bulls and cat for years. They love her so much and we can relax when we’re away knowing that Tammy (and Danielle) treat our babies as their own!

Mariah was an unbelievable kitty sitter. I would say, the best I’ve seen. She was always prompt, and provided great report cards with pictures. She is truly a professional, and went beyond like bringing in packages. I will always try to book her before anyone else going forward. We really appreciated her taking care of Lily. Thank you so much Mariah.

Nicole is amazing! With the government shutdown and all the issues with flights, our flight got canceled so we’re had to stay away for another night. Panicking I reached out to Nicole and she quickly reached back. She was able to stop by the house and check in on our parrot to make sure she has food and water for tomorrow. Thank you so much Nicole!!!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Buckland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buckland is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 8,461 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buckland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buckland. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
