“Avamarie was absolutely incredible with my girl Nala! She was so patient and cared so much about ensuring my pup felt safe and loved. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone! She was super communicative and I loved all the pictures she sent! She will truly love your pup like her own!!!”
“Sarah did an amazing job. She communicated throughout her stay and walked the dogs, which is a feat on its own. I would highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs. She was easy to work with, attentive to the pets, and made our getaway enjoyable. Thank you, Sarah!”

“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”
About: I'm the type of person who spends all my time hanging out with animals at any function. I have lots of experience with aggressive, shy, senior, independent, clingy, and playful pets, and I pay close attention to your pet's personality so I can meet each pet's needs. I love to stay active but am also a homebody and could spend all day giving your pet the attention they deserve. I've had a dog since I was 10, and I know how much photos of your pet can brighten your day, so I will be sure to keep you updated! I work remotely, so I have flexible hours and plenty of time to play and take care of your pet. I travel often, but I update my availability weeks in advance. Please note: I am unavailable for Sunday bookings between 9 am and 3 pm. I am unable to care for pets at my own place, but I am more than willing to make the trip to stay at your home or drop in to feed/walk/play according to your needs. My dog is a very picky eater, so I understand that each pet's feeding routine is different, and I will always accommodate what your pet is used to.
“Taylor O was the perfect sitter for our fur baby. She arrived on time, was very responsive to our communications, and took great care of our home and fur baby. Taylor stayed in our home for our recent 2 week vacation. We had never been away from Jinxie for so long and it was stressful for us and her. Taylor understood our concerns and sent daily photos, texts, and updates. It gave us peace of mind to know that our baby was being well-loved and taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor as a kind and nurturing sitter. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.”
About: I have 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I provide safe walks, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m patient with puppies and gentle with senior dogs. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and safety so your pet feels comfortable and cared for like family. I have a flexible daily routine and plan my day around pet care. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, and checkins. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure. I can also adjust my schedule for special needs, longer stays, or last minute bookings. Safety is my top priority. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any medications. I’m attentive to behavior and signs of stress. I can crate if needed and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.
“Charlotte is amazing! Our Luna is very routine-oriented and very cautious around people. We had never used a pet sitter before and we weren’t sure how quickly Luna would warm up, but Charlotte’s calm demeanor and patience is just what Luna needed to earn her trust. Charlotte was very good at providing daily updates and reaching out when needed. She also went above and beyond when some tree branches fell on our fence during a storm. Charlotte and Luna are now friends for life!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am new to sitting for Rover. I haven been sitting dogs /homes since I was a teenager. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after a variety of breeds. I currently have four amazing dogs of my own—a Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, Pit Bull mix, and Terrier mix—so I’m no stranger to different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work fully remote, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks—plus any feeding, medication, or special care instructions you provide. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I always keep their safety and happiness top of mind.
“Mila stayed at our house for 5 nights to care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was nervous because it was the first time that they had been cared for by anyone other than family. Mila did a wonderful job and kept us updated throughout our trip with texts and pictures. When we arrived home, our babies were happy and everything in the house was as we had left it. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Felipe enough. He stayed in my home for three weeks to care for my senior dog and did an exceptional job in every possible way. He followed every instruction and consistently went above and beyond, especially given that my dog is older and requires special care. Throughout his stay, he remained calm, patient, and thoughtful, even when unexpected situations came up. He physically lifted up and assisted my dog countless times when he couldn’t get up or walk, kept him comfortable, and genuinely cared for his well-being. When an emergency arose, Felipe took my dog to the vet right away, stayed with him, and kept me fully updated. His communication was outstanding. He provided frequent updates, sent photos, responded quickly, and proactively raised concerns whenever something needed attention. In terms of home care, Felipe kept the house in fantastic condition. He was respectful of the space, left everything clean and tidy, and even washed all the sheets and towels he used before my return (something he didn’t have to do, but did anyway, and I really appreciated it). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, Felipe is exactly the kind of sitter you want. I’m incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely hire him again.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!
“Kimberlee was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and takes a long time to warm up to people, but she quickly warmed up to Kimberlee. Kimberlee kept our house tidy and even watered our plants. We would definitely book with Kimberlee again.”
About: I treat each pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, including basic training and helping them learn good habits and tricks early on.

With me, your pet gets lots of love, and playtime. My schedule is open and flexible — I always do my best to fit you in, even with other reservations throughout the day.

About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 2 - 10. I have been dog sitting them since the day we got them 10 years ago, but have started dog sitting alone 5 years ago. They are all 50+ pounds and a bit crazy at times but that has never changed how cute and loving they are. I would love to sit your dog(s) and will do it with a joyful spirit! I’m currently working from home, and traveling for an event company to put on events. I have limited availability but when I am in town, I’m free for any services you may need! I can’t care for pets in my own home due to our rental contract, however I will care for pets in your home as well as you normally would! I find that pets feel more comfortable being taken care of in their own home and it (hopefully) creates less stress for the owners! I will treat your home with love, care, and respect, the same way that you would!

Mia is phenomenal!!! She looked after our pups and house sat for us while we were out of state getting married. The relief I felt knowing she was watching our babies, taking them on hikes, snuggling with them and keeping them entertained while we were away, makes me confident she would be the perfect fit for any pet parent. We will definitely be using her again!
Diego has taken care of my baby other times and this time I decided to take a long vacation with the peace of mind Diego will take a good care of him. He is very responsable and respectful with the rules of the house. I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Diego
Larissa was amazing with our girls a 40 lbs husky mix and an 80lb black lab for 8 days. Larissa stayed at our house with the girls and the house was just as clean or cleaner than when we left. Larissa sent pictures and videos daily and the girls seems to love staying with her. We definitely looking forward to using Larissa’s service again in the near future
We had a great experience with our dog sitter, Kevin! He was incredibly patient with our dog, who can be a bit shy at first. While we were away, she really warmed up to him, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. We’d definitely trust Kevin again and highly recommend his services!
Whitney stayed with our 3 babies, (2 dogs, 1 cat), while we were away for a long weekend. She took excellent care of not only them but of our home. She sent regular updates along with pictures, which provided us with peace of mind knowing our little loves were in such capable and caring hands. When we returned home our babies were healthy, happy, and our home was in good order. From the moment we began chatting with her on Rover, to our meet n greet, Whitney impressed us with her timely communication, promptness, and warm, friendly personality. We are so grateful to Whitney for her care and will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Buford is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 per night. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,098 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buford. 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 Buford 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 Buford 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 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.
