“Amazing sitter!! I could tell just by the photos that our dog was well taken care of and had a blast with Kaitlyn! She even straightened up our couch pillows and blankets and brought in our Amazon package.”
“Monica did an excellent job taking care of my 11 year old dog, Macie. Monica dropped in to walk and feed Macie as well as just spend time with her. I have a high comfort level with Monica and feel she took extra steps to take care of my baby. Will definitely use her again.”
“Rachel does an amazing job taking care of our pet family while we are away! She understands our kitty likes her space, but still makes sure she doesn't feel lonely. She leaves fun notes, takes good pictures, and is simply the best!”
“Ashley watched over our 2 pups for a whole weekend. It was so nice to see updates about how the dogs were doing. The pictures were helpful too! Ashley was very organized and asked great questions if she was unsure about any of our care plan. We also have a high energy dog and she took time to throw the frisbee for him. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you soo much Erin for checking in on my Jenni-Girl! Erin is very flexible with time and she is very friendly. Also, she sent me pictures after each visit which made me feel soo much better.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for more the last 10 years I would love to care for your animals! I love all animals I am available most weekends and I do work from home during the week so I can also do real quick pop in visits and or early or late afterenon I have a fenced in yard, I also have treats and certain areas where the animals can be, I also have dogs of my own that are friendly
“Elisha was phenomenal in taking care of my baby. She sent updates, pictures, and action shots. I was never nervous about him the whole week I was gone. She was that great at updating. This is the first time I have let a stranger watch my dog so I was extremely nervous leaving, but her updates put my mind at ease. We did a meet and greet/run through of care before I left. Booster (my dog) interviewed her and gave the signal she would be a good fit to care for him. She followed instructions well and gave exceptional care. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”
About: Ever since I was a young child, I've been obsessed with animals. I've happily grown up with dogs and cats as the center of my world. I've pet sat for several neighbors during high school and since I've graduated. I'm reliable and can be trusted with your fur babies needs and care. I look forward to working with you. Dog-sitting is my main thing, so i'll be available to take care of your baby no matter the hours! Just contact me and we can discuss :) I can stay over for as long as needed, taking care of your babies and keeping them fed, well rested and exercised! If you have any specific routines your baby needs to follow day-by-day just tell me about them and i'll follow them!
About: Hello! My name is Michael, and animals have been a central passion of mine throughout my life. As someone with autism, people are less my forte, but caring and interacting with animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household where everyone was allergic to dander except me, so I got my animal fix by pet-sitting for friends and neighbors—both dogs and cats. I’m used to housesitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have some higher education with veterinary assisting, which has come in handy with the animals under my care. I was only able to adopt my cat from a shelter a few years ago, but I am no stranger to all sorts of animals (reptiles, birds, small mammals all included—I have experience with caring for all wide variety of creatures!), all with a wide range of personalities. Every pet is different, and I take care to adapt to each individual’s needs. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I am in the process of applying for disability, during which time I am otherwise available outside of my appointments during the week. Tuesdays are typically my busiest days. I am most available on the weekends, where my days are completely free to devote to your pet(s)! I do not board at my residence, as my cat is an anxious fluffball. However, when it comes to client homes, I like to make sure that your pet’s routine is as familiar as when their pet parent is home. I work to make sure that although their people might be temporarily absent, it is a positive experience and not a devastating waiting period; every animal deserves to be treated with as much attention and care as they need, the more the better. Any particular treats they enjoy, toys, playtime, places to visit on outings, specific times for feedings—all are great information for me to give your pet the experience they deserve.
About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.
About: I have worked at a vet, taken care of my own animals as well as family and friends. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes. It will work with my job, get me exercise, and give me extra income I need. If I didn't have a weakness to blood, I would have been a veterinarian. I always make sure that they are exercised, played with, and taken to a park if necessary. I never hurt an animal but believe in discipline.
About: We have a big fenced in backyard for lots of room for dogs to roam and explore. We live in a small cul de sac and quiet neighborhood where walks would be enjoyable. We have had several pets we have raised from young to old. We have taught basics of sit, lay, shake, and stay. I work from home and have the availability to play with your dog, give lots of snuggles, and let them have time outdoors and playtime with other dogs. I work from home and have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, and a gecko (gecko doesn’t really come around other fur babies). My dogs are social and love to play with others. With our big fenced in backyard the dogs will have lots of room to run around and play. If your dog needs to be kenneled we can accommodate that.
“Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.”

I have a lot of experience with pets of all ages, including giving medicine, special diets, caring for kittens and puppies, and any other specific needs your pets may have. I truly love taking care of people's pets, and I can't wait to hopefully meet yours! As an online student studying to be an elementary teacher, I balance my schedule to ensure I have plenty of dedicated time each day and week to provide attentive, loving care for pets.

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m experienced with keeping pets on their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m happy to care for pets before and after work and on weekends. I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of each pet and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m dependable and will always communicate clearly about my availability so you know your pet is getting the care they need. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I provide a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I also understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel right at home.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bucyrus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,338 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bucyrus. 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 Bucyrus. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
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.
