This was our first time using Rover and we have had a great experience with Hannah. She took the time to meet us and our fur babies before booking. Hannah did a great job checking in on our dogs while we were away and even sent multiple pictures. It was great seeing them playing and getting some love. We would for sure use Hannah again!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of different temperaments and learned the importance of patience and attentive care. I am a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following your pet's routine! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is different and will provide patient, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I'm very genuine with pets, extra caring and careful especially with my seniors. I'm patient and I love teaching my pets tricks. Love making them feel safe and cared for. Hello I work full time and I'm also a full time college student. I'm available on the weekdays after 4 most of the time and on The Weeknd's whenever sometimes I work on saturdays and I get off at 12 pm. I'm very caring with my pets. I have a Frenchie so I know what it's like to be extra careful dealing with a dog that could easily get paralyzed from the legs. I have inclined stairs on my couches. and I also have a fenced yard with extra fencing around it in case of holes. I have plenty of toys to keep your fur animals safe

About: I enjoy animals of all types, and have had dogs and cats growing up. I’m familiar with several breed types and am comfortable with any size dog. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them love through play time, plenty of touch/pets, and even offering quiet pockets where I read/draw and they can relax in the same space with me. It’s all about focusing on what keeps them happy while I’m there as a visitor in their safe space. Your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I have pet sat for highly social and energetic dogs and cats, as well as shy/timid ones. I’ve also cared for senior pets that need less energetic play and more quality interactive time. It’s not about forcing my presence, but rather giving them the opportunity to know they are safe even with someone they don’t know in their home. I like to share updates - pictures and videos are sent daily to ease your discomfort of being away from them and to help assure your pet is receiving quality care. I work full-time: work days are Sunday mornings and then full days Mon - Thurs (9 am to 4 pm), with a flexible lunch break window. Fridays and Saturdays are open. I am flexible to whatever a client prefers. I am happy to adhere to your guidelines for feeding times, specific diet, treat giving, and anything else for your fur baby’s well-being. I’ve provided medication as needed, as well. I enjoy time outside, but monitor for heat and safety for your pet first and foremost. Walks, if approved, will be kept to the local neighborhood - I do not transport pets unless there is an emergency. Respect for your private sanctuary is important - I will maintain any guidelines given to me for your home, can bring the mail and packages in while you’re gone, and will leave it the same or better than when I arrived.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was nine years old! I have pretty good understanding of how to best care for dogs and cats from small to big. I’ve also always been the “can you wash the dogs” person in my family, so if you need your dog to get a wash when I go see them, I can definitely do that too! Since I just graduated from college, I do have a more open day time schedule during the week, and my weekends have opened up a lot more. There will absolutely be no trouble with taking care of your doggos and cats week days from 11am-4pm and weekends from 12-5pm! At my house I do have a fenced in backyard, and a big neighborhood to walk the dogs through so they get thorough walk time! I also can crate your dog before I leave so they don’t run wild in the house, if you needed that!

About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my life. I have raised mixed breeds, collies, huskies and boston terriers. I love walking and hiking and will take my dogs with me for time in the outdoors. Your dog will get at least a 20 minute walk every day while in my care. My two Boston Terriers are friendly and love to play. I have a flexible schedule, so I have time to dote on your pets. I can let them out anytime they want to go. If I am running an errand, they will be alone for no more than two hours and will be put into a play pen or crate as needed while I am away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Your dog would be walked at least 20 minutes a day, weather permitting. I will send photos so that you can see how they are doing.

Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.

About: I have been around animals nearly all my life, growing up with dogs and owning both cats and dogs through adulthood. I spent some time volunteering in dog rescues in past years as well. I work a regular day job Mon-Fri, so I will more than likely be available evenings for check-in visits and walking, with more available during the weekend for both. Overnight care will be situational and schedule dependent. I am able to care for your pet however needed, whether that's just a quick walk around the block or an hour or so if in-house/yard feeding, playing, medication admittance.

I cannot praise Alyssa enough! There are no words to express my overwhelming gratitude for the level of care that Mia received. I was in CA and got a call from my fiancé that Mia was not eating and having frequent accidents. Alyssa brought Mia chicken, broth and her favorite treats to try and encourage her to eat ...thinking it was emotional due to my absence. But then she was getting worse and Alyssa took Mia to the vet and stayed on the phone with me until I could speak with the Vet staff because my fiancé could not leave work. She even made sure to be on call in case we needed her to pick up Mia if I couldn't get back to TX on time. Mia had emergency surgery and is doing great! Alyssa made sure that Mia and I had everything we needed during this scary situation. Thank you Alyssa!!!

About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I helped care for a small family dog for about 3 years, assisting with feeding, daily care, and attention. I also independently cared for my own cat for several months, managing feeding, cleaning, and overall care. Pet care has been part of my daily routine. I would come home during lunch breaks to check on and care for my pet, and after work I handled feeding, cleaning, and attention. I’m also generally free on weekends for consistent pet care and supervision. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following any instructions provided by the owner. I focus on keeping pets supervised, maintaining their routines, providing attention and care, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Buffalo Gap on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buffalo Gap. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Buffalo Gap stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

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.
