“Dan and Haruka Did an amazing job I’m watching our two cocker spaniels over a full weekend staying at our house. Our doggies got along splendidly with them and they were reliable and efficient. Sending us photos each day.”
“After talking and meeting with Mariah I trusted her completely. You know you can just tell . She stayed with our two dogs Quincy who is 9 yrs old and deaf and Izzy who is one and has very bad anxiety. Mariah was very patient and kind with our dogs and did a great job of looking after the house as well. Our power had gone out for 24 hours. She was calm and mature about the whole situation. She was even willing to go out and buy ice for our fridge to keep the food cool. We will definitely have Mariah back and I have even recommended her to the medical staff I work with. Thanks again Mariah. You are awesome.”
“This was our first time ever having someone outside of our family watch our dogs, so we were a little nervous—but Diyanna was amazing! She kept us updated several times a day, had great communication, and was so sweet. Our dogs absolutely loved her! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Wow—we absolutely love Christina! From the very first message, her communication was outstanding. She took the time to come over for a meet-and-greet, and our furry family adored her immediately. Christina has such a calm, kind, and friendly presence, and we felt completely at ease welcoming her into our home. The daily photo updates were such a joy to receive and showed our crew happy, relaxed, and comfortably settled in all their favorite spots—exactly what every pet parent hopes for while traveling. Our home was left clean, tidy, and just as we had left it, which we truly appreciated. Christina is a gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and truly wonderful pet sitter. We’ve already booked her for another sit! Thank you Christina!”
“Kiet did an amazing job watching my fur babies!! He kept me updated the whole trip and I knew they were in great hands allowing me to actually enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend booking with him!”
“Jaquan did an amazing job with our two frenchies and left the home cleaner than when we left, with two happy puppies. We will definitely reach out to him again for our needs.”
“Amy did a great job with our very active 6 month old puppy. She sent daily photos and updates. She did everything that we outlined and was a pleasure to work with. I have already suggested her to friends. I would absolutely hire her again and feel very confident with her in my house. Thanks Amy!”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have three cats of my own, including one that's about to be 6 years old. I also previously had two dogs and have years of experience caring for family members' dogs while they're away on week-long vacations. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I've worked with cats of all ages and personalities. I'm comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications if needed, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m also available for sitting in households throughout the week/weekends! In addition, I can commute to Napa as I regularly go into town! I always follow each pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you're away. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks or clean litter boxes, and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pets, and follow any special instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, or house rules. I'm happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Karci did a great job! I loved her attention to detail in asking and carrying out what our dog's routine and needs were. This helped maintain her days with consistently. Highly recommend her service.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve owned a Chihuahua, Beagle, and currently a dog mom to a 5 year old pitbull! So I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing dependable, loving care every time. I am available Saturday-Tuesday full time. I am currently working Wednesday-Friday 7:30am-4pm, With a small window of availability for short 30min walk on my lunches between 12pm-12:30pm. I am available on my workdays anytime before 730am and anytime after 4pm! In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy while giving your pet consistent care and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well taken care of. During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they need active play or a slower, more relaxed pace.
“Allyson did a great job with 2 dogs and cat :) my smaller dog is particular about who he likes and he warmed up to her right away. She also did a great job with my older girl who takes a few medications and has some incontinence. Thanks, Allyson!”
“This is now my 3rd booking with Kristen. She’s extremely professional, good with my crazy dog, and always has open communication and constant pictures. I never worry when Zuri is in her care. Thank you so much!”
About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.
About: Hi there! We are a spunky and caring couple working from home fulltime with flexible schedules to give your furbaby all the care and attention they need. During a stay with us, your doggo will enjoy not only our attention but the company of our three sociable dogs, Coco, Osito, and Tulipan. We take our dogs on at least 2 walks/outings per day in addition to having multiple indoor play sessions. We have a large fenced park right across the street that is perfect for running, playing fetch, or just sniffing about offleash. We have lots of flexibility in our work schedules and we are at home fulltime. This means that your furbaby will have our supervision and care the entire day minus the occassional grocery or errand run. Coco and Ostio are both socialized and they are used to having other dogs join the pack. We live in a very safe and peaceful neighborhood in NW Vacaville with little traffic. This makes it an ideal place to go on leisurely walks with the dogs on one of the numerous trails nearby or take them across the way to the fenced park for some offleash time.
“Amazing house sitter! Extremely professional during the meet and great with Judy. Very communicative during our travels and she left our house cleaner than it was when we left.”
About: I have 7 years of experience dog sitting, providing dependable and loving care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with young puppies who need extra attention, patience, and training reinforcement, as well as adult dogs, including those that are spayed or neutered. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule while I look for work. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet, including morning, midday, and evening care. I can easily adapt to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs, making sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have two friendly dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Golden Lab mix—and ensure all pets are introduced safely and supervised. Pets in my care receive regular walks, playtime, and stay on their normal routines. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, keep the space secure and clean, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for my own happy dog, and I’ll give yours attentive, reliable care with genuine patience, kindness, safety, and lots of love every day Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I’m fully available Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive, and flexible care for your pet. I do have another job full time I mostly work Monday, Tuesday,Friday, and Sunday I will still be able to care for your baby so don’t worry, If you do book with me on those days please note that Monday / Sundays I do open and I will be off at 4 and Tuesday / Friday I’m free during the morning so I’ll be free from 8-4 after 4 I won’t be and won’t be off till 10/11 but rest assured I will still be capable to care for your baby. ❤️ I provide a safe, fenced yard, follow routines, and keep your fur baby company with attention, play, and care to ensure comfort, safety, and happiness.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bucktown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bucktown on Rover is $82.86 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 2,422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bucktown. 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 Bucktown 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 Bucktown 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 Bucktown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bucktown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
