“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”
About: I grew up surrounded by any kind of animals. My family and friends always trust me their babies because I have so much love to give them! I’m a college student during the week. My best times would be weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I am open to chat if you need me at other times. I love animals very much so their safety is always first to me. I will not only make sure the furry ones are safe, but I will also engage and play with them so they don’t feel alone.
“This was our first visit from Michelle and we can already tell it’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Twyla seemed to warm up to her quickly, even asking for belly rubs, which she does not do for anyone other than her closest humans. Michelle was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of photos.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. My parents are big dog people so I’ve always had multiple family pets ever since I could remember. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with different dogs and cats that belong to either myself or my housemates’. Professionally, I’ve provided overnight dog care at my home as well as at my clients’ homes. Our household is one where there is always someone home. I work during the day while my partner works part time in the evening. We also have a family member who is an animal person. She is a college student taking only online classes and will be around in case of any emergency. Whenever your dog is with us, there will always be someone right next to them at all times. We have a fenced yard and a dedicated outdoor dog play area to make sure your puppies are able to explore and play safely. We are walking distance to the rose garden for walk time.
“Excellent as always. Third time take care of my fur babies and very happy. Great communication and cat care. Cleaned up after one of them vomited and drew some ants. Made my trip way less stressful. Thank you.”
“Sejla once again took amazing care of my cats! This was the first time I left the new kitty alone with my other kitty, and Sejla did a great job wearing him out so he wouldn’t be a pest. I’d recommend Sejla to everyone!”
“Stacey is such a blessing to take care of my fur baby even on a short notice. She is easy to reach out to and very responsive, which is super convenient. Thank you Stacey bfor taking care of Tintin during the Christmas weekend as well.”

My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. 🐾

“Rita was fantastic! We truly appreciated her initiative in suggesting the meet and greet. She was exceptional with our hound dogs during the multiple drop-in visits. Rita was thorough and proactive, always reaching out if she had any questions. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Gizmo and Luna! She gave Gizmo his medication each morning and night, made sure Luna was fed, and took such great care of both of them. She also scooped both litter boxes and was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our schedule changed. I especially loved how detailed her notes were after each visit, and the photos she sent of my fur babies were such a sweet touch! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, cared for, and in such good hands. Sarah was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly went above and beyond. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I have personal experience helping to train and walking reactive smaller dogs who need a confident and kind leader. I will be attending a PhD program in Clinical Psychology starting this fall and know the importance of catering to each soul individually whether it is a person or pet. I also have experience with older dogs who struggle with neurological issues know how important it is to ensure that the owner as well as the pet have piece of mind in their pet care. I am currently unemployed while I prepare for graduate school, therefore I am available each day of the week and can make any schedule work for me! I am always happy to meet your pet at their crate or at the door, whatever is most comfortable for them! I love to play enrichment games with my pets that engage their mind and body in order to help their cognition. A simple one I play with my sisters miniature schnauzer is putting his food under paper plates on top of a towel and he has to figure out how to access his food and he loves it! I always think a simple game after a walk is such a great way to tire them out on multiple levels!

“She was amazing and very attentive to my dog Z. I really appreciate that she went above and beyond to play with and gave him lots of cuddles while I was gone. I’ll definitely ask for her to help again. Best experience I’ve had on Rover. 🐾”
“Ashley was so great with Scout, who got sick while we were gone and kept me in constant communication while she was dealing with it. Ashley even came for extra visits to check on her and give her extra walks while Scout's tummy was upset. We will definitely use Ashley again for our pet sitting services. Thank you so much, Ashley!”
About: **Too much for daycare? Too important to leave with just anyone?** Hi, I'm Whinde. I specialize in calm, structured care for dogs who don't thrive in busy daycare environments. Many of the dogs I work with: • get overwhelmed in group settings • are anxious, reactive, or sensitive • were asked to leave daycare (it happens, no judgment) • simply do better with calm, one-on-one attention I'm professionally trained in canine behavior, so I bring real structure and calm leadership to every visit, not just a leash and good intentions. My focus is helping dogs feel safe, regulated, and understood instead of overstimulated. ✅ Large and powerful breeds ✅ Sensitive or anxious dogs ✅ Working and high-drive dogs ✅ Puppies through seniors ✅ Strong leash pullers (yes, even that one) **Services** • Decompression walks • Drop-in visits • In-home sitting If your dog struggles in daycare, on walks, or with overstimulation, this is exactly what I work with. Every new client starts with a meet & greet, so your dog gets to know me before I ever walk through the door alone. After that, start with one visit. You'll see the difference. 🐾 I am currently working from home, and I make my own schedule M-F. I am also available on the weekends with a very flexible schedule. I train dogs too! Ensuring safety, trust, and a home-like environment for your pet, following your instructions meticulously. Your pet's well-being and your home's security are my top priorities.

Sam was wonderful to work with! Communication was easy with fast responss times, and Sam offered plenty of flexibility and options when coordinating details, making the entire experience seamless. We loved receiving the photos and appreciated that all our instructions were followed. Most importantly, we had complete peace of mind knowing our cats were in such safe and caring hands while we were away. We would happily book with Sam again!
Yukie is amazing. This is the third time she's watched our cats while we're away, and we always know they're in great hands with her. She pays attention to their individual needs and gives them lots of love and play time, and we can tell they have a lot of fun during her visits.
Ashley took very good care of Spencer. Because of connection issues, I was unable to access Rover to receive updates. Ashley sent me updates via text which was much appreciated. After 2 weeks away, Spencer was in good spirits when I returned. I highly recommend Ashley to take care of your fur babies. Thank you Ashley.
Nicole has been so great with our new puppy! Having a young puppy is really hard the first few weeks and having Nicole come to give me a small break has been amazing. Our puppy Remy immediately fell in love with her! Nicole is responsible, safe, and very attentive- We are lucky to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buena Vista is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,305 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buena Vista. 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 Buena Vista. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
