About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play. We have crates and boarding pens and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.
“Jenna did a fabulous job house sitting for us!! Jack, Trixie, and Thea were loved on the entire weekend! I received tons of photos and timely updates. I highly recommend Jenna for any of your pet sitting/house sitting needs.”

“Anna did an amazing job watching my dog, Pearl! She was very respectful, responded quickly to all of my messages, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I'd be happy to book with her again!”


“Halie was a wonderful pet sitter! She was prompt, communicative, and thoughtful, providing daily photos and updates that gave me peace of mind knowing my kitty was in great hands. She went above and beyond to ensure my cat was well cared for and left my home very clean and tidy. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and reliability. I highly recommend Halie and will absolutely invite her back!”

“Kaitlyn was AMAZING! From her first visit she made us feel at ease with leaving our beloved pup with her. She truly treats your pets as if they are her own. She sent us lots of great updates and pictures. We look forward to having her stay again in the future!”


About: Having grown up and worked on a farm until moving to Louisville four years ago, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other fowl. Along with providing routine daily care, I am experienced in handling basic needs across various levels of veterinary emergencies. While I am currently enjoying my time in grad school, I truly miss being around animals every day and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I'm a full-time grad student, my schedule allows me time in the morning, in the evenings and throughout the weekend to look after your pet. I can be flexible and am open to talking and finding a time that can work for both of us! While I have much experience with animals, I do recognize that everyone has different needs. I'm looking forward to meeting each animal and learning about their individual personalities as well as their needs. I promise to communicate as openly as possible to bring as much peace of mind as I can while you are away from your pet and your home. I understand that there is a level of trust that comes with having someone new in your home, so I am open to answering any questions you may have so that this can be a smooth and comfortable process for both of us.
“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”


About: I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends before and they have trusted me with their house and animals, generally for 1 week but sometimes for longer or shorter. I take very good care of the home and animals, listen to instructions careful and apply those instructions in order to be helpful. I will always be upfront and honest with everyone and I always communicate well. I currently work as a full time server at Texas Roadhouse and live by myself. I am not married nor have any kids yet so it’s just me. My schedule is pretty flexible in the morning to early afternoon due to having to serve at night generally. I don’t mind coming in to help before and after work. I don’t have any pets in my own home because I can’t due to landlord rules but I grew up with animals throughout my whole life. I play with the animals if they want to play, pet them, feed them when they need to be fed, take them on walks (dogs), just have fun with them!
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping pets company. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m currently attending school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pet. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet supervised, and make sure they are comfortable in their environment. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I was raised in a home with pets. My mother was a dog trainer, show dog champion, and breeder so I have life-long pet experience. I have cared for hamsters, fish, dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits and turtles. I currently have a male mini-dachshund who sleeps with me and is my best buddy. I’m retired and available most days of the week or weekends. I am available for long-term stays or drop-in visits when you just need someone to provide a potty break or a mid-day walk. I know that when I need a dog sitter, I prefer someone to stay in my home that allows my little buddy to stay in his normal surroundings, so I get it and will do the same for you and yours. However, if you prefer I board your pet, I have a fenced yard and allow pets on furniture, unless you have trained your pet to not be allowed on furniture. My home is clean and non-smoking.

About: I’m attentive, patient, and committed to keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’ll follow their routines and make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m mainly available on evenings and weekends. I’ll plan bookings around my schedule and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home secure, and stick to your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how things are going.
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every pet has their own quirks and their own way of communicating what they need. I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m attentive, patient, affectionate, and happy to follow the routines and instructions that help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants lots of attention and playtime or just needs a calm, dependable person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is being cared for like one of my own. My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. I review each request individually based on my availability, so feel free to reach out and we can see if we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure I understand your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before caring for them. I have a cozy, active home with three kids, a dog, and a cat, so I want to make sure any pet staying with us is comfortable in that environment. My yard is not fenced, so dogs will always be supervised and leashed outside. We live in a walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunity for walks and exercise. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable so your pet feels safe while you’re away.
About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. I've been taught to treat them like family. Animals are my weakness. I go out of my way to make them happy. I love playing with dogs. Walking them. Teaching them. Most importantly loving them. My house will be your dogs home away from home. They will get so much love here from me and my kids. If they are older my kids no how to be gentle or just stay away. I will make sure they are safe and happy at all times. I can do as many walks as needed. Potty breaks are no problem with my big fenced yard. I do not leave dogs out for too long especially in the heat. We will have play time daily. They will get to sleep in my daughters room with her even on the bed if they prefer. There will be someone here at all times to watch them. I would love to meet you and your babies and become apart of their family. I also watch any other fur babies you may have! With my part time job I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. When they are with me they are my priority. All other activities are put on hold. We do as little as possible to make sure we spend as much time with your babies while they are with us. I have a fenced in backyard and a home they are welcomed in as family. Nice comfy twin sized bed for sleep! They will be spoiled!! I am an early riser so your pups will get to get out and enjoy the weather early. We will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. And daily walks. The pups needs are always put first. I want to be their home away from home. My home is their home and my fenced back yard offers plenty of play time!
About: I've only recently started officially taking care of dogs but I've always loved them. I think pets take care of us so we have to take care of them. I am currently in the process of job hunting so my availability is up in the air. I would love to make pet sitting full time, but realistically I have rent to pay. I have no other pets so I would be able to dedicate my attention to yours. I do not have a yard, but access to walking paths and the outdoors whenever needed for walks or bathroom.
About: 🐾 A Little About Our Home! ❤️ I'm a stay-at-home mom with three active kids (15, 11, and 9), and animals have been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember! Caring for animals is something our entire family genuinely enjoys. When your animal is in our care, they'll receive all the love, attention, and affection they deserve. We do our best to accommodate their normal routines, whether that means lounging around and relaxing, getting out for multiple walks, or enjoying some playtime. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard for those days when they want to run around, play fetch, and burn off some energy! Our family has three dogs, Benny, Lou, and Leo, along with two cats, Nala and Millie. They're all part of our family, and we're used to having a house full of animals! A little heads-up: Our kids are active parts of our household, so we do ask that your animal be comfortable around children. They may get a little extra love and attention (okay, probably A LOT 🤣). If your animal isn't comfortable around children, no worries! We can absolutely make arrangements for the kids to be elsewhere while your animal is in our care. We're also happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, and other care needs! At the end of the day, we're just a house full of love, and we love welcoming new furry (or not-so-furry) friends into it! 🐾❤️ I am home everyday! This means tons of walks, play time, nap times, pee breaks. Your animal unless other wise told, will have free roam to our house. We have safety gates that will be put up, if you feel more comfortable them staying in one room. I have a backyard, and if the animal is needing to be crated I can also accommodate that. My animals however, are allowed anywhere in the house that I or my family is allowed. Bedrooms, beds, couches, outside!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their animals. I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to come and go as needed. I always check my schedule to make sure I can. I like to meet the family and pets before I start so that they know who I am and am not a stranger to them. I currently have three family’s that rely on me when they go out of town.

About: I’ve had all type of pets from sugar Glider’s dogs ferrets fish for over 10 years I love all kind of animals yours to . Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because I enjoy building my schedule around giving animals the attention and care they deserve. I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits throughout the day for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make reliability a priority. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s spending time playing with an energetic kitten, keeping a senior cat comfortable, or simply providing quiet companionship for a shy cat, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. We have a high privacy fence with big back yard where they will play with our dogs and play ball tug-of-war and other fun games
About: In undergrad I spent my summers working as a dog groomer. Now, as a medical student I am home studying every day, looking to provide day-to-day care to your precious babies. My apartment is pet friendly and I offer dog walking services as well as over night boarding. I ask that you provide food/necessary supplies- working as a groomer I know some angels have sensitive stomachs and require special diets. Accommodating this is no issue for me :) I am mostly inside my apartment studying. It would be no issue to board for a prolonged period of time or take breaks to go on walks. I ensure there is no access to trash, or food for curious pets. I also live in a non-smoking household. I do not provide my own supplies or cage.

The average cost of House Sitting in Buckner is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $79 per night.

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 Buckner 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 Buckner 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 Buckner 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buckner. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
