About: Your experience I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve owned around four dogs and three cats, including a Schnauzer, a Yorkshire Terrier, and mixed breeds. I’ve also helped care for family pets by feeding them, playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I truly love animals and enjoy being around them. Even though I currently don’t have pets because my apartment is small, I would be very happy to care for pets short-term and give them lots of attention, affection, and patience. I understand how important it is for owners to trust someone with their pets, and I would treat every animal like family. I’m currently very flexible and available most days of the week, which gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and keep pets company. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and short-term care depending on your pet’s needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I live in a clean and calm apartment environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. While I don’t have a private fenced yard, my apartment complex has pet-friendly walking areas and plenty of space for outdoor walks and exercise. There is also a plaza nearby that’s perfect for longer walks and outdoor time. I always pay close attention to pets’ behavior, routines, and safety, and I make sure they receive lots of care, affection, supervision, and patience while staying with me or during visits.

I booked Terissa fir a drop in and was really pleased with her quick response and communication. She showed up at the requested time and wasn’t plenty of photos to assure me my fur kids were in good hands. Definitely recommend booking her!

Christina was so wonderful with my cat. Even though he gave her a hard time taking his medicine, she didn't give up trying. This is the first time I've used this service and I'm so glad I found Christina.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 and have a genuine passion for animal care. Through my veterinary clinic internship, I’ve gained experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs as well as those who need extra patience and care. I’m very active, dependable, and attentive, and I make sure every visit is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog. I love building trust with both pets and owners and always treat every dog like my own! I’m available most afternoons and evenings around my school and work schedule. On weekdays, I have school every weekday and work on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-8PM. I’m unavailable on Wednesdays, and Saturdays I’m free after 3PM. During summer, my schedule is similar, just without school, giving me more flexibility for walks, visits, and pet sitting. I’m reliable and happy to coordinate so pets get consistent care and attention. For dogs, I have a friendly Australian Shepherd, Luke, who can keep your dog company during visits. I supervise all playtime and walks carefully, follow feeding and care instructions, and can crate your dog if needed. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every walk is safe, structured, and enjoyable! For cats, I provide a calm, safe environment in their own home. I follow all feeding, litter box, and care instructions, provide companionship and attention, and am happy to send photo updates so you always know your cat is safe, comfortable, and happy! I treat every pet like my own, whether it’s a dog in my care or a cat in their own home, and I strive to create a loving, attentive, and safe experience for all pets!

About: I’m a lifelong schnauzer lover, and after losing both of my beloved furbabies within the last three years, my home just hasn’t felt the same. I miss the snuggles, the walks, and that joyful energy they brought to every day. Caring for other pets allows me to share that love again and give your pup the same warmth, patience, and attention I once gave my own. I truly understand the comfort and companionship pets bring, and I take pride in creating a safe, affectionate environment where every furry friend feels at home. Lots of love, gentle care, and happy hearts guaranteed. 💕🐾 I run a small design agency part-time and work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. My schedule naturally revolves around school pickup, homework time, and my kids’ soccer practices— at a dog-friendly park! That means there’s plenty of room in our routine for walks, playtime, and snuggles. Your pet will get consistent attention and care woven right into our daily rhythm, not just “checked in on.” Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether they’re with us or I’m visiting your home, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and part of the family. Walks are always on-leash, routines are followed closely, and I’m big on cuddles and communication. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 🐾

About: I am an experienced animal mom and mom to 4 animal loving sons. I know the struggle of trying to find a place for your fur babies to stay when you have to leave them behind. Your pups are welcome at our house, and they will be loved on and given the space and comfort that they need. We have a sweet lab mix, Cleo, who would love to have some friends stay over and play or just hang out. We also have two cats. I am a teacher, so I am home and available full time for boarding over school breaks and weekends. (NOTE: If your pet needs to be boarded during a regular week (not a school break) he or she will be at my home with my son (or alone if he’s out) until I get home around 4.) I work very close to home, so I am able to run home and check in. Thank you for your consideration and trust. ❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Buford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Buford on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 4,950 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Buford. 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 Buford 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.

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 Buford 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Buford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buford. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
