About: What sets me apart is heart-led care—personalized attention, reliable routines, and genuine love that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Rest assured your pet gets everything they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and individualized attention, ensuring each pet receives consistent care, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of safe roaming, a calm pet-only home with no other free roaming animals or children, and a clean, non-smoking environment.
“Chelsie is our most beloved, dependable, professional and thoughtful cat sitter. We have 8 cats + we foster strays. Cheylsie has cared for our cats several times this year and we highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond to ensure our cats receive the best care.”
“This was the second time we had Shannon drop in to take care of our dogs. She does an excellent job. Lets us know when she is on-site and sends updates each time. I would recommend her services.”
About: Growing up with pets, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies through every stage. I handled feeding, walking, playtime, and grooming, including brushing, bathing, nail trims, and basic coat care. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and routines, and I provide patient, attentive, loving care that helps pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I work part-time and don’t have school, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m happy to help with pet sitting or dog walking any day of the week, and I can easily adjust to fit your needs. I have my own transportation, so I can come to your home or take your pet out for walks. I’m available anytime, but I’m especially open on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests too if needed! I’m happy to provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar space. I’ll follow your routines for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I’ll also make sure your home stays tidy, with fresh water, clean litter boxes, and any toys or bedding returned to their usual spots. I’m respectful of your space, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is happy and safe while you’re away.
About: My love for animals is UNDENIABLE! Growing up, my family has owned many different types of animals since I was a little girl and every single one is more loving, caring and beautiful than the last! (Which honestly started piquing my love and internet from the start!) Animals all have their own personalities and I respect that more than anything! I love to “figure” them out and see what they love most or what drives the animal. (Treats, running, playing.. etc) Please entrust with me that I WILL take THE BEST care of your furr family! Animals ARE family and I would treat them no less! Your pet will always get the most love and tender care they would deserve, consider my services a mini vacation FUR YOUR PET! You could say I spoil mine and I would do no less for your own babies. I will treat them as my own always! Thank you for your consideration and reach out with any questions you may have! 😊 I’m a reliable full time pet sitter! Call me when you need me. I love doing what I do and I have decided to pursue this passion as much as I can. I discuss this in DETAIL with the client. I like to discuss their yard specifically, where they feel comfortable the pet being, if leash is required, or if they use remote shock collars, if there’s a safety fence or collar, if they like to run outside by door and how these different situations adjust with each animal per home/ yard. These all help me adjust to any risks or likelihood thereof. This is always on my mind as being the primary responsible person of your pet while you are away.
“Hope was wonderful to work with. She watched my 2 cats and dog while I was out of town for 4 days. Pets were fed, watered and loved on, and she made sure my dog got plenty of exercise. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a sitter.”

About: I currently have one dog, two cats, and one bunny so I have experience with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs my whole life and did a lot of house sitting/dog sitting throughout high school. I absolutely love playing, walking, and spending time with animals. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician because of my passion for animals! I’ve dealt with every age before from puppies to senior dogs, so I’m no stranger to clean up and administering medication. I guarantee I will treat your animals with the love and care they deserve! I work part time currently but will be having a lot more availability as I go back to school. I should be available everyday as times may vary. I always take proper precautions when taking care of animals, especially outside. Depending on owners preference, I will always make sure they are with me in the safety of a yard or on a leash. They will always remain with me and in my sight.
“Kristi is incredible! We so appreciate the care she takes with our dogs. She is kind and you can tell by the way my oldest is not afraid of her that she has earned his trust. Feel so blessed to have found her!!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have a dog we rescued when I was pregnant with my first child almost 8 years ago. She is the best dog ever but unfortunately doesn't do well with other animals due to being a rescue dog and her history with the people before us. So I'm not able to dog sit at my house but would gladly come to yours! I'm not working at the moment as I'm a stay at home mom with 3 kids. I am available any day normally anytime but I would like to have a advance notice if possible. I do have a fenced in yard. I would rather come to my clients home if possible due to having a rescue dog and she doesn't always do well with other animals.
About: I personally have a German Shepard and a Chiweenie at home so I have experience with both big and small dogs. I usually take care of my parents dachshunds when needed. I’m currently at home while my kids are in school so I’ll be free during the day to take care of pets. I can do scheduled evening visits occasionally. I can walk, bathe, visit, play, give water and food, or take them outside if needed. I can provide treats on my visit and meet them so they can trust me.
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
About: I love all animals. I would love to be able to care for your doggies, cats or any of your other pets when you can’t be there. I work full time but am available to drop in on or walk your pets in the afternoons after 3:30, in the evenings and on weekends I will make sure your pets are well fed and watered and whatever else they might need. And they will receive many snuggles and love!
“Makayla did an outstanding job, We were away on vacation for a whole week and had her look in on the animals/house twice a day. She proved herself to be very loving and responsible! She was able to follow a detailed list of rules and responsibilities & my animals took to her very quickly which is especially unusual for my cat! Highly recommend 10/10!”
About: I have been dog sitting for a number of years in a veriety of environments and love the fur babies I get to meet. You can count on me to take care of your furry friends while you are unavailable. Whether you are in need of someone to check on your dog(s) in your home or take them on a trip to the park, I promise to care for your puppy as I care for my own.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. With school starting in August I will be available Thursday and any weekend. I will also be able to work with you during the weekday! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bucyrus. 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 Bucyrus 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.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
