About: I recently lost my dog of 10 years in March 2026, and I would love to share my love with other lovely fur babies! As a social worker, I know how to care for others, and understand the importance of animals as part of our family and mental well-being, and I treat them as such. I have experience watching all types of pets and experiences with pets who are diabetic or have special medical needs. I'm currently working a flexible job where I am virtual and only come in person a few hours a week. So I can stay the night at your house, or in my own home based on your preference. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to prioritize your pet when needed. I am open to staying at your house overnight, but I can also stay at my own home based on your preference. I have cared for pets living in a house with a yard and without as well as in an apartment in the city. I know that these environments can make pet care different, so I make sure to keep to scheduled walks, potty breaks, playtime, and outside times consistentently.
“This is our second time using Amber. We were gone for 8 days and knew we could trust our beloved pups in her care. She takes such wonderful care of them and loves them like her own! I can’t imagine trusting anyone more than we trust her to take care of our babies!”
“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!”
“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“Patty was great as usual! She communicates really well and always sends awesome pics. Pippin had a little limp on the first day, and she let us know right away and sent videos — thankfully he was fine, but we really appreciated how on top of it she was. He was super happy when we got home, which says a lot. Way better than boarding — so glad we booked with Patty again!”

“Lauren is terrific!! My dogs loved her immediately. They get more excited to see her than they ever do to see me. She did an exceptional job taking care of my fur kids while I was away”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — as a lifelong dog owner, I've grown up understanding what they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. Beyond my own pets, I've cared for dogs belonging to friends and family over the years, and have also gained hands-on professional experience when I worked at a veterinarian clinic as a teenager. What I bring to every walk and drop-in visit is a calm, patient presence. I believe dogs pick up on your energy, so I always show up grounded and relaxed — which helps them feel at ease too. Whether your pup is bouncy and excitable or more of a laid-back companion, I take the time to meet them where they are and give them the attention they deserve. You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own. I am a teacher on Summer break looking to get out of the house while making a little money on the side. Weekdays and Saturdays are preferable but I would consider a Sunday visit if necessary. Since I come to your home, your dog gets to stay in the place they feel most comfortable — no adjustment period, no unfamiliar surroundings. My goal is to keep their day as normal as possible, following the routine you've already set so they barely notice you're gone. This includes sticking to any feeding schedules or medication needs — I'm experienced with administering medicine to animals, so you can trust your pet is in capable hands even when they're not feeling their best. On walks, I keep dogs leashed at all times and stay mindful of our surroundings, avoiding interactions with strangers or unfamiliar dogs unless you've given the go-ahead. Your pup's safety is always the priority. Before your first booking, I'll ask for your vet's contact information and any emergency instructions — because being prepared ahead of time is just part of taking the job seriously. You'll never have to wonder how things are going — I send regular photo and text updates so you can see for yourself that your dog is happy and in good hands.
About: I’ve always been a lover of pets and animals since I can remember. I’ve been heavily included in the training and care processes of all of my pets, so I’ve had experience from a young age. I work full time from home, so I’m available before 9 am or after 5 pm during the week with a break from 12-1 that I am willing to work during as well. I am typically fully open during the weekend. I can easily assist with any pet care needs including feedings and walks. Having pets of my own, I feel confident that I can assist with your pets and their needs!
“Alexis was what I needed!!! She came on time! She did a great job communicating with me! She was very attentive to my fur son! She played with him, gave him attention, and was just there for him overall. She followed my schedule that I left for him, too! She returned my home to me the same way I’d left it for her, which was appreciated. She is truly a sweetheart and my son absolutely adored her! I’m grateful I took a chance, and will continue to use her services again as long as she’s on the platform.”
About: I’ve had a variety of pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, an iguana, and fish. I am detail oriented. I currently work as a long term substitute with Gwinnett Public Schools. I also have experience house sitting while dog sitting. I currently work for Gwinnett County Public Schools as a long term substitute. I am also enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett College majoring in Information Technology. My availability in May 4:30-9pm M-F, Saturday and Sunday: All day My care plan for a pet would be anything the client expresses or outlines. For example: wiping feet before and after walks, brush hair throughout the day.
About: Having a handsome German Shepard, I know first hand how much love and attention our pets require when you need to be away for an extended period. I'm working part time and almost an empty nester, I love seeing fury friends and making your day a little less hectic when you need it. I will respect and follow your instructions to the tee when caring for your lovely dog in your home. I will respect your home as if it were my own.
“Brooke was amazing! She sent lots of pictures of updates of the pups. I felt good knowing my baby was being taken care of so well. I would definitely use Brooke again in the future for any pet sitting/house sitting needs. She left my home in better shape than she found it I appreciate her very much!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with two dogs and have spent years caring for pets for my sister, mom, friends, and their friends whenever they need a reliable sitter. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a consistent routine, I’m committed to providing the same love and attention I would give my own pets! I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree and am highly organized, responsible, and dependable. I also live a very active lifestyle and love being outdoors, so I genuinely enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and helping them stay active and happy. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for every dog in my care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to their schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and receive any special care instructions provided by the owner. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being to ensure they’re happy and healthy. When caring for a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I keep things clean and tidy, follow all house instructions, lock doors and secure the property, and make sure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“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”
“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.”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our sweet pup while we were gone for two weeks. He went on lots of adventures while we were gone and got lots of exercise. He even seems a little sad that they are gone now so my pup really enjoyed their company. I would use them again a bad recommend to others who are looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

Maddie is AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond in every way…sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter!
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!
I contacted Diego as I decided to make a last minute trip. He replied very soon and stayed at home taking care of my dog. Communication was always fluid. He took a very good care of my baby and the house. Sending me pictures periodically. My flight back home got cancelled and I ended up stranded in a foreign country for two extra days. He had no issues to extend his stay, I am very thankful for that. Definitely, he will be my first option to contact next time. Thank you Diego.

FAQs for House Sitting - Buford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buford on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,185 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buford. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
