About: I am a lifelong animal lover and rescuer of dogs. Life is not complete without a dog to snuggle up with at the end of the day. I’m a retired public school teacher so my schedule is pretty open on weekends as well as week days right now. I’m ready to walk and care for your pet. I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own rescue fur babies that get along with other dogs fabulously. I can do drop in visits at your home also. I love walking and staying active so walking your dogs will be a treat for me.

About: I have always loved animals. I currently do not have any pets and I miss taking care of them. I am a retired grandma who’s looking for a flexible position that will allow me to work as my schedule allows. I’m a very patient, loving, and kind person. I'm not working outside of the house, so I have plenty of time to give your fur babies attention. I have a comfortable home with a privacy fence. My fenced in yard will be a safe and secure place for your fur baby. I have some toys for them to play with, or feel free to bring your own toys to make them feel more at home. At this time I prefer to only care for dogs.

About: I grew up with three dogs. Their sizes ranged from small to big so I have experience with all. Three years ago, I made the decision to get my own dog and it has been the best decision!!! I grew up dog sitting my parents dogs, our neighbors dogs, my aunts, and sisters dogs. I am the known dog sitter to many people in my life and am ready to share that with other families looking for a reliable person to love their fur babies! My Husky is people reactive so I have experience walking/being around certain levels of reactivity. I am a teacher that is on summer break. I have a very flexible schedule and look forward to having the time to walk your pups! I am available to come to your home, but my house is unavailable due to my dog, not being friendly with others. I would love to walk your dog around your neighborhood and check in on them at your house!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My family frequently took in rescue pitbulls, so from a young age I learned how to train even the most stubborn animals. I began pet sitting for family/friends as a teenager. Many of the animals I took care of during this time were seniors, so I got quite a bit of experience in senior dog care. During college, I brought home a very energetic and very stubborn Cane Corso. I hired a professional trainer and learned many important tips on top of my already existing knowledge about dog training, which came in handy when I got a second corso. Throughout my life I’ve gained experience training puppies, taking care of senior pets, and caring for pets with diabetes and other chronic conditions. I’m currently PRN at my other job, so I can work my other job completely around the needs of your pet and what they’ll need while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two bigger pups that are incredibly friendly and love having new dogs to play with. I also have a two year old daughter who is obsessed with animals, so needless to say your pet will not be spared any attention while in our home. Even if you’re not looking to board your pup, I have full availability to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own environment, and am willing to stop by as often as needed to make sure your pup gets all the care and attention needed while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for cats since l was about about 6 or 7 years old. After I lost my oldest cat Sailym at 17, I've decided I wanted to continue helping others with their pets while they travel and give them a peace of mind like I had during my trips to Spain in college. The past few years I have dedicated some of my free time to help a few family and friends with their other dogs and cats while they take long travels at a country. I currently work full time but am free throughout the entire weekend which is why I prefer cats. I am able to stay overnight at places as long as I can commute to and from my own office as well as drop by my house to see my cats too. My house are currently has one to two dedicated rooms just for pets that includes cat trees, extra litter boxes and places to play, as well as toys. This allows an easy transition if they need to be separated from my own animals or they need some time to decompress.

About: I have over two years of experience working in a dog boarding facility, where I developed strong skills in animal care, supervision, and handling dogs of all temperaments. I am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician degree, further expanding my knowledge and passion for animal care. In addition, I have provided trusted house and dog sitting services through personal recommendations and referrals. I genuinely love working with dogs and plan to dedicate my career to caring for and improving the lives of animals. A dog fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Incorporating a dog into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide them with the attention and structure they need throughout the week. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While dog sitting, I make sure pets maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I always keep owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where dogs feel happy and secure while their owners are away.

About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently own two Cane Corsos and grew up with pit bulls, so I’m very comfortable with strong, large, and high-energy breeds as well as smaller companions.

Madison made sure to be timely to feed and let my dogs out. One is diabetic and requires insulin and timeliness is very important when administering insulin, so that was extremely appreciated. My diabetic dog got sick and she took care of that and communicated so someone could rush him to the vet for me. She also provided pictures, which I appreciated, too, since I was worried about my dog. Thank you VERY much, Madison!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Buckner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 2,176 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Buckner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Buckner stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Buckner with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
