“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
“I couldn’t be any happier with the care, attention and communication we experienced last week with Rick!!! 5 stars all the way. Our 17 year old dog is dead with declining hind leg usage and Rick’s home was the perfect place for him to explore. No steps, fenced in yard and a very caring and knowledgeable care giver. I will definitely hire Rick again! Highly recommend!”
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through dog sitting and training. I provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment while making sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and positive interaction. I’m also experienced with basic training, including commands, leash manners, routines, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have flexible availability for dog sitting throughout my daily schedule. I can work around your needs and provide care, walks, playtime, and attention while you’re at work, running errands, or away for the day. I can provide reliable and loving care for your dogs while you’re away or at work. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, food, fresh water, and bathroom breaks while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.
About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!
“Tasha was amazing! She took great care of our pets while we were out of town for a week. It took a lot for us to trust someone to stay at our house with our pets and I am glad we gave her a chance. We came home to happy animals and the house exactly as we left it. She also sent daily pictures to keep us updated. 100% would recommend, she loves animals and will be great with your pets 😊”
“On top of an awesome temperament, Michaela is also a great communicator. Our furry child is super anxious, very reactive and gives no indicators of when he’s getting fed up (until you find out that he’s fed up). In the past, he usually doesn’t open up to sitters; however, Michaela was able to get him to let her pet him (which never happens)! To complicate our booking, our poor little guy had his first ever seizure two days before the booking was to begin. It was very hard to leave him, especially since Michaela was new to us. She was confident in her capabilities to care for him still, and she managed his care like a champ.”
“Rhonda is the best! She came for a 5 night stay at my home with my 2 dogs (a Rottweiler and Boston Terrier) and my cat (5 month old kitten). Not only did she care for my babies (who were absolutely in love with her the moment they met her), but also took great care of my home. I had no worries during my time away. I will 100% rebook with her again.”

About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed.

About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs
“Brooke was a great communicator and was willing to come meet our pups in advance of the sitting. The house was just as we left it, and the dogs were happy campers when we got home.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bud
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,304 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bud. 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 Bud 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 Bud 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 Bud 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
