About: I have always been around dogs growing up. I had a childhood chihuahua who I raised and was able to gather valuable memories and experience in senior dog care. When I was younger I took care of a litter of puppies for my neighbor while he worked and taught basic commands. I am well-rounded with small dogs from chihuahuas to larger breeds like german shepherds and malamutes. I have experience in medicine distribution for dogs on different medications and other special needs care. I am currently enrolled in university online and currently unemployed so I am able to give your pets plenty of love and care. I do have my own pet at home but I have someone available to take care of her while I take care of your lovely pets! I do not currently offer boarding in my own home. I will care for your pets in your home with intricate care and attention by following any feeding schedules, routines, and other special needs per-dog basis.
About: I have five dogs myself. They’re all well trained and friendly with other animals! I live on a large farm with plenty of space for dogs to run. I trained two of my dogs a few tricks each as well as potty trained them I work about four hours a day outside of my home. I always take care of my dogs before and after work. I have family let them out to pee and eat while I’m at work. I spend the evenings playing indoor with them My dogs have a large kennel inside that they sleep in at night. I have hosted dogs before and they sleep in my garage. It’s a warm area year round and if not then they will sleep inside in a separate kennel. I have orchards next to my house so your dogs will be taken on walks throughout them! Two of my dogs spend most of the day outside (depending on the weather).
“Thank you for taking care of our little Elfie! And thank you for watering the plants and check ion the mail. We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed it because we knew our little girl was in good hands. Highly recommend Dakota and Samantha! Experience, personable, and actually very sweet kids!”
“Sara did an excellent job caring for our dog and cats. She kept us updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of photos, and really helped put our minds at ease knowing they were in good hands. She kept them engaged with activities and lots of mental stimulation, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“We were very pleased having Alec housesit for us! He was very friendly, on time, conscientious and the dogs enjoyed snuggling with him. We definitely plan on using his services again and would recommend him to others. 😁”
“Gunnar is wonderful -- he totally won our dog over, he's conscientious and quick to respond to messages, and is a really nice person! He's a great dog and cat sitter we'd highly recommend!”
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and home and kept me up to date throughout the stay. I'm pretty sure I came home to my house in better condition than when I left it! I would definitely book with her again!!”
“Shelley was nothing short of AMAZING with our animals. We have 2 cats and an energetic golden retriever, and she took wonderful care of them. She would come over and play with the boy for long periods, got him out of the house, and took care of our cats. She also sent photos all throughout the weekend. We could enjoy our weekend away knowing that our animals were in such good hands.”
“Marcie did a great job with our dogs, and we're relieved to found someone so reliable. She dog sat at our house and was very communicative. She left the house cleaner than we left it, sent photos and videos, and left a note with info about her schedule/routine. We are definitely going to book with her in the future!”
About: Over 15 yrs experience in pet care, boarding, training & behavior modification. All breeds, ages. Safe, peaceful and secure country setting. Dogs are our life. I worked as a behavior specialist in one of the largest shelters in the country, evaluating thousands of dogs of all breeds and ages, and provided behavior modification and enrichment. I am a professional dog trainer and an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. Your dogs well being is my priority. Our days revolve around dogs from sunrise to sunset. Dogs are always supervised, exercised, played with and spoiled rotten. We live on the property and dog care and training is what we are passionate about. We provide multiple playtime sessions and potty breaks, a large fully fenced, secure yard to run and play in and the dogs are never left unattended.
“Taya was a great dog, kitty and house sitter! She sent us photos of the dogs, with her, and even one of Princess on her lap- Princess who takes her time warming up to anyone! The house was so neat and tidy when we got back- she is easy to communicate with, very good with our little critter family! We will hire her again for sure! It was so good to know our dogs and cats were safe and happy in their own home.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my friends and family since I was 12. I’ve done everything from walks to weekend sleepovers. I have experience with all types and ages of dogs. I also have experience administering medications and accommodating around injuries and allergies (pills, eyedrops, creams, and cones) I currently attend Perry Technical institute so I have class Monday-Thursday 7:30am-4:00pm. I am available anytime that I’m not in class. Im very flexible so feel free to reach out whenever, I take same day requests. You and your fur baby’s comfortability are my top priority. I am open to visits before services to confirm that your dog and I will get along. I am more than willing to send updates as frequently as you’d like so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I also double-check that everything is locked after services to ensure your dogs safety.
“Luckie did a great job caring for my dogs. She sent me lots of pictures and loved them like they were her own. I told my son that I better get a hotdog when I came home so I could win them back to me”
About: I guarantee to treat every animal with the same love and care as my own. And beyond that, the same love and care as my children. I am self employed and can make time for any animal any day through my open schedule. I make my own schedule day by day. I have a fenced yard with one small very sweet loving dog. She has gotten along well with any animal she has encountered. I trained her myself.

FAQs for House Sitting - Buena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buena. 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 Buena 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 Buena 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 Buena 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
