“Blake was amazing with my cats. They are skittish and will hide with anyone coming to the house. We did a walk-through before booking so she could see the kitties (they hid, of course) and to get a good understanding of my place and expectations. She was so patient and calm with my cats that they eventually came out of hiding while I was away. She played with them and kept me updated on everything daily. She sent pictures and asked questions about anything she didn't know, and made suggestions as things progressed with them. I was across the world, but never felt worried about them with her attentiveness and professionalism. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: What You & Your Dog Can Expect: 1-on-1 Personalized Care: No bulk walking or crowded group outings—your dog gets my full focus. Trail & Weather Prepared: Experienced with local mountain weather, trail safety, and keeping paws safe in all conditions. Comprehensive Drop-In Visits: Clean water refreshes, feeding, yard clean-up, medicine administration (if needed), and plenty of play and affection. Real-Time Communication: Detailed visit reports, route tracking, and high-resolution photo updates sent immediately after every visit. I keep a limited daily client list to ensure every pet receives prompt, unhurried, and exceptionally attentive care. As a remote software professional working flexible hours from home, I have complete control over my daily calendar. This flexibility allows me to easily step away throughout the day for midday drop-in visits, energetic neighborhood walks, and dedicated 1-on-1 pet care without feeling rushed. Whether your dog needs a morning energy burn before you head out, a quick lunch-hour potty break and refresh, or an late-afternoon walk, my work-from-home setup ensures prompt, reliable, and highly responsive service every day. Because I focus exclusively on dog walking and drop-in visits, all primary care takes place where your pets feel safest and most comfortable—right in their own home or neighborhood environment. Drop-In Visits at Your Home: During drop-in visits, I follow your exact household routine to keep your pets calm and stress-free. This includes fresh food and water refills, backyard potty breaks, litter box or yard clean-up, medicine administration if required, and dedicated indoor playtime or cuddles. I also handle basic home security checks (ensuring doors, gates, and windows are locked) and can bring in mail or packages upon request. Outdoor Walks & Excursions: For dog walking, I provide attentive, 1-on-1 walks tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and leash manners. I strictly adhere to your preferred neighborhood routes, safety protocols, and local trail guidelines, ensuring your dog stays safe, hydrated, and fully exercised before returning home happy and relaxed. Safety & Security Standards: I treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. Keys, lockbox codes, and entry details are kept completely secure. After every visit, I make sure your home is locked up securely and send you a detailed update with photos so you know your pet and home are in good hands.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buena Vista is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 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.

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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buena Vista. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
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.
