About: Your dog is like family. I will make sure they are treated like family with love and attention. Let me know what your rules are with your pet and that is how I will be with them. I work full time Monday through Friday. I have flexibility at home / office. Weekends vary but if I’m available that means I’m available to love on your furry family member. I would like details on how your route is with your pet. I have only cats now. Details of how and when you give food and the quantity, give treats, walk and communicate that is used will be helpful to take sure of your pet well. I would like to keep the route is close as possible for your pet.
“Mary did a great job loving up my dog who just had surgery. She gave me peace of mind while I couldn't be home that he be fed, given his medications and watched over. Thank you Mary!”
“Took great care of my dogs while I got to see some of downtown jackson hole. Dogs got to explore the top of the mountain, killed their energy so they could relax the rest of day. Dogs loved hanging out with her.”
“Gabby was incredible! Our older dog and our skittish dog were both so happy with her. The cat didn’t even scold us when we returned like he usually does. We received regular updates and photos throughout the week and when we got home, the house was neat and tidy. We will absolutely ask Gabby back to housesit and watch our “outlaws” again. We can’t possibly recommend her enough!!”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”

“Autumn was incredible! She had 5 star communication and provided an incredible experience for our dog while we were out of town! Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!”
“Megan did great with our little girl cookie, She kept cookie calm throughout the fireworks, we will be getting her again, looking forward to seeing you at the end of month!! Thank you again”
“Cory was awesome: very communicative and consistent in updates, he let us know whenever he would need to leave the house for a little while (which was also communicated ahead of time), and kept our place clean. Very capable and confident, which is especially needed for one of our dogs who tends to be more reactive. I’m so grateful we went with him and we genuinely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own, friends, and neighbors pets since I was a 12. I love taking care of animals and have always gotten along with them I work full time on weekdays. I’m able to take care of and play with your pets on weekends and weekdays if you’re local to me I am not able to provide service at my home. I’m very respectful and adaptive to the rules and specifics of your home and pets.
“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”
About: I’ve been working on the farm since I was able to walk. I’ve worked with numerous animals from dogs to cats to even donkeys and llamas. I love animals and making them feel loved and appreciated! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to hangout with your lovely pet! I’m available almost all day, every day! I will make sure your dog/pet gets everything he/she needs and that they remain very well taken care of while I am with them. My main priority is fulfilling the owners needs/wants for their pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buffalo
Heather was super awesome to have taking care of our Furry Friends while we were on vacation. This is the first time I had someone in our home while we were out of town so it was VERY wierd. But Heather came to our home before our vacation to meet us and our furry friends. She is very personable and we could tell right away what a great connection she has with animals. Our schedule changed a bit for our vaca and Heather was VERY accomodating which was very apreciated!. We got awesome pictures of our furries every day, videos of walks she took our pup on and just great overall communication. If you need a pet sitter, Heather is a GREAT choice! THANK YOU HEATHER!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buffalo on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,357 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buffalo. 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 Buffalo 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 Buffalo 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 Buffalo 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.
