“Leeah was a lifesaver for me! She agreed to stay with my cat buddy Frank when I had to leave town suddenly. She was wonderful with Frank and a great communicator. She sent me new glamour shots of Frank and gave him lots of cuddles. I'd love to have her stay with Frank again.”
“Patty was amazing. She regularly shared pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. My animals were a bit disappointed when I walked in after being gone and realized it wasn’t her. Would highly recommend.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been a lover of pets and animals since I can remember. I’ve been very involved 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 am also a full time student this fall semester with classes Monday and Wednesday morning, as well as Wednesday night. I am happy to work around this as much as needed! I can assist with any pet care needs including feedings and walks, and more unique needs with medication or any interesting habits. I am 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.”
“Maria Abigail took the best care of Goose and Maggie, two very energetic GSPs. They got tons of time outside and lots of care and attention. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I've had dogs and cats and been taking care of them since I was a a kid. Recently had to put my dog down due to cancer, and my grandmother is allergic to pet hair so I'm looking for another way to connect to pets until I can get my own again. Currently not working so unless I'm on vacation and out of state, I have a pretty open schedule. Willing to spend nights or extended stays if discussed and I can make it work. Willing to do whatever works for your pet and their routine, previously had a dog with stomach and skin issues so I have experience with different responsibilities.

“This was my first time leaving my babies Maggie and Milo for a trip and I was absolutely terrified of it. I was very worried about Maggie in particular because she has separation anxiety and doesn’t warm up to strangers. When Elizabeth saw that Maggie wouldn’t eat whatsoever, she went to the store and bought some food that helped with her appetite. She even took Milo to the vet since nobody else could take him and began administering his meds. I struck gold with Elizabeth who went above and beyond to gain their trust and take care of them. She also did all she could to reassure me and has won my trust. She took such good care of my dogs and I highly recommend her. Definitely will be having her dog sit my babies again when necessary!”
About: Hi! My name is Kelly. I'm a lifelong dog lover who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and happy while their family is away. Although I'm new to Rover, caring for dogs is something I've done my entire life. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I live with my hubby and my twin boys, who are dog lovers as well! I also share my home with two friendly dogs, Ryder and Brownie, who love making new friends and get along well with dogs of all sizes and personalities. My home is a calm, welcoming place where every pup is treated like part of the family. And the best of all, we love making memories with additional family members! One of the things I love most is spending time with dogs, so I offer a flexible schedule that allows for constant supervision, regular potty breaks, play sessions, and lots of cuddles. Your fur baby will feel genuinely cared for and included in our daily routine. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your fur baby can safely run, explore, and burn off energy while enjoying plenty of fresh air. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers relaxing in the shade, they'll have space to feel comfortable and at home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. That's why I'll care for your fur baby with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and surrounded by love. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby and provide them with a fun, comfortable, and loving home away from home!

I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“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 grew up with a poodle and later was closely involved in a household that cared for a large number of show dogs in a structured, organized setting. This gave me strong experience with daily routines, behavior, and maintaining a calm, well-managed environment. Now I have a retired Shiba Inu — the friendliest you’ll meet. I work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision and regular care throughout the day. Dogs follow a predictable routine with potty breaks every 2–4 hours, quiet indoor time, and outdoor time in a secure fenced yard. Your dog will stay in a clean, calm home with a fenced yard and a safe, structured environment. I keep the number of dogs limited to maintain a low-stress atmosphere and avoid overcrowding. Dogs are supervised, and I follow consistent routines to help them feel secure. For everyone’s safety, I accept calm, well-mannered dogs and recommend a meet & greet before first bookings. Crating can be used if needed, depending on the dog’s habits and comfort.
“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!”

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
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Buford on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,212 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.

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.
