“Selena was able to watch our fur babies on fairly short notice in our home. Our babies seemed to like her and they were in good spirits upon our return home. We would use Selena again!”
About: we have taken care of pets since childhood :) we have lots of experience with pets from A-to-Z and we provide photo and videos, along with additional detailed text updates. We treat others as family, we love to spoil others, and we also provide training if needed with positive reinforcement. We also not only provide pet sitting but plant sitting as well, we are huge into gardening and we can give lots of care information and advice on any plant that you have/want. We’re always here and are happy to help, we always respond fast especially when you need us, and we love to serve others because we love making people happy <3 We both have full time availability, so we are able to provide every single service available including leash training, pet training, plant sitting, housekeeping, etc. Our dream is to be able to care for every single pet that is in need even the ones that don’t have any homes, and to be able to hang out with pups and kitties all day long and give them all of the love that they deserve :) We care for pets in our home and both our client’s home by always putting their needs first, we always stick to routines (if they have one), and we even like to take them to doggy parks, buy them toys, buy them treats, teach them new tricks, or even play with them/go on longer walks as well :)
“Kady was the most attentive, concerned and sweetest sitter we’ve had, she was so good it was like chatting with a friend about our babies daily on how they were doing, and the pictures she took and sent were priceless to us, I would most definitely recommend Kady, you will be pleased you did ?”
About: Hi 👋 I offer overnight care in the pet's home environment to be sure they are well cared for while you're away. I'm available to care for them, love on them, and go above and beyond your expectations! I will come do an introductory visit with the pets while you are there so I can meet them and we can go over their routines, what they like to do during the day, discuss any medications, discuss any household chores, and we can be sure the pets will feel comfortable with me as their caregiver while you are away. I've been blessed to care for dogs, cats, horses, ponies, chickens, ducks, turtles, and even catfish. I’ve been blessed to pet sit for years and I will happily provide references at your request! I am available to pet/home sit for any duration. One day/night up to weeks at a time. My rates are fair and affordable. Along with caring for your fur family, I can also handle everyday household tasks such as watering plants, taking the trash to the road, checking the mail, and etc. Household chores are no extra charge. Please, no snakes or lizards. Let's chat! Other than pet sitting, I do ministry with a Christian camp. When we discuss the dates and what you need, I can tell you about my ministry schedule for the dates that you need me. Rest assured, I will be sure to take excellent care of your fur family! During the introductory visit, I make it a point to learn the general household schedule so I know what is normal around your home and what is not normal. I take safety of your fur family and your property seriously. If your fur family needs to go outside, I am right there with them. If your fur family stays outside, apart from me spending time playing with them, I check on them routinely to be sure they are safe and content.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since forever. I have multiple animals of my own seeing as I have a farm and love to add animals to it. I’m currently in school get my bachelors in health science and associates in business, but luckily as of right now I am online so free all the time when im not babysitting/nannying. I’m looking for more opportunities to pet sit since I love animals and have all summer completely free. I am able to take your fur babies on long walks and fun trips to the park to play. I will love and treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I have a very secure environment as I live in a house on my parents property with them. It’s 30 acres so lots of land to take walks on with the pets. I have experience with all animals aging from young to senior animals. I also have experience with other animals if you have any including rabbits, chickens, and ducks of all ages.
About: I have taken care of animals for my whole life! Whether it is family members going out of town, or friends deciding to take a vacation, I am the one they trust to make sure their fur babies are safe and loved at home. I have grown up around pets, and I am committed to making your fur baby feel loved and well taken care of! I am comfortable around all ages and sizes of dogs and am more than willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal's needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate all of my time to loving them (this includes everything from cuddling on the couch to playing fetch outside!). I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they will be able to socialize with other animals while you're away! I do not currently have any pups of my own, but I would love to have one in the future! However, I just moved out of my hometown where my family dog, Sammie lives with my mom! He is a one year old corgi pup who is full of energy and has such a playful personality! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins, walks, or house sittings whenever needed! I am very flexible and can also accept last minute bookings. When I am in your home, I would love to take your pups on walks, to dog parks, or anything you already do with them! It would be an honor to care for your fur baby, as I know how meaningful a happy pup can be in the family.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have never met one I did not adore. Many friends choose me to care for their loved ones when they are away. My schedule revolves around maintaining activity levels and better functional training for my pets and yours. Health and happiness make for longer life spans for our babies. I am a registered nurse with previous law enforcement experience, safety is something I am very big on and integrity is something I was raised on.
About: I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have been caring for pets my entire life and have a lot of experience with dogs. I work from home and I’m available to give your pet the attention they deserve while you are away. My home can be their home away from home. I care for all visitors like they are my own and spend tons of quality time with them. I love to take walks and I include at least 2 20-minute walks for each day your pet stays with me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Buena Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 127 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buena Vista. 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 Vista 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 Vista 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 Vista 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.

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.
