“This is my first time booking Christina and everything was great. She's a clear communicator and my very emotionally sensitive dog really seemed to like her. Christina will be the first person I go to the next time I need a pet sitter!”
“We were very impressed with Gabby from the moment we met her. She’s shy but very kind and took wonderful care of our dogs. She sends lots of updates which we appreciated and reassured us that they were doing fine and having fun along the way ❤️We will definitely be booking Gabby again!”
About: I’ve taken care of people’s dogs through pet sitting for the last five years mostly in Olathe, KS, but also in Lawrence. I am able to walk dogs, feed them, let them outside, bathe them, etc. I am available almost any day of the week as my only other commitment is being a student at the University of Kansas. I am very flexible. I love to be able to spend time with dogs and be able to play with them, either in the house, in a backyard. or walking them.
“Jessica treated Winston so well I think she spoiled him. She took care of his ears bad anxiety and his neck issue very careful and caring. She was wonderful person to take care of my Winston. Thank you Jessica.”
“Jason is absolutely amazing, I felt so content leaving my doggos and farm animals (chickens/baby chicks/turkeys) in his care. He updated me multiple times throughout the day, very easy to communicate with, and you can tell he just truly cares for your animals. When we got home from vacation, the dogs were nice and calm - happy to see us - but I know they felt safe and enjoyed their time with Jason watching them. Thank you so much for all the effort and care you put into the animals!”
“Katie is a fabulous pet sitter and we have used her services for our dogs multiple times. She is very considerate and easy to work with and the best part is, that I can go away on a trip and feel peace that my dogs are in the hands of a professional, caring, responsible person. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth and her husband did amazing, they went the extra mile to take my dogs on a walk and definitely played with my puppy. My dogs were so happy in their care and they were very well taken care of. They sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and night. I will definitely use them again to watch the pups!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently care for my black Lab, Lexi, and have previous experience working at a pet store, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, safety, and attention to detail. As a Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Alumni at Colorado State University, I’m passionate about animal care and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I recently graduated from Colorado State University and now have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be highly available for pet care. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I’m happy to work around their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to giving your pets lots of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and routines, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether in your home or out on walks, I’ll provide patient, attentive care and treat your pet like family. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and always happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind.
“I cannot recommend Tyrese enough. From the moment we booked Tyrese was professional and completely reassuring. Tyrese took such good care of our fur babies and provided us with daily photos. The boys were relaxed and clearly well loved when we returned home. It was obvious that Tyrese treated them as if they were his. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, you won’t find anyone better than Tyrese. We will absolutely book with him again.”
“Elisa was the best! This was our first Rover experience, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was friendly, communicative, and took great care of Jax while we were away. We appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Elisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“My dog immediately gravitated towards Caitlin, and he had an amazing time with her. She really understands compassionate animal care and understands animals. Great communicator, and very thorough. Highly recommend”
About: I've been a pet sitter over 10 years and I love what I do. I feel very lucky to surround myself with beautiful fur babies. I work part time from home and make my own schedule. I'm extremely flexible with my hours. I'm here to make it easy for you. Lots of walks and playtime. Every animal is different, so I accomadate accordingly to the animal and what they like and want to do. I find them much happier that way.
“Kristy, was awesome she truly loved her work with my dogs. She communicates through out her visits with texts and lots of pics. She is the best sitter I have had and gained my insulin dependent dogs trust quickly. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is a true dog lover and all animals in general.”
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bucyrus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bucyrus on Rover is $49.95 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 1,450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bucyrus. 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 Bucyrus 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 Bucyrus 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 Bucyrus 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.

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.
