About: I have been working with animals professionally since college (20 years ago) as a shelter manager, foster parent, advocate, and pet parent to my own cats and dogs. My entire family are animal rescuers and our world revolves around our fur kids. I have experience with older animals, medications, injections, and I have a paralyzed dog myself. I know how hard it can be to leave if you have a special needs animal. I work for myself, so I can make my own hours. I can normally fit pet care into my daily routine aside from school drop off and pick up I am very flexible. I will love them like they are my own, making sure to follow your instructions and keep an eye out for anything abnormal and alert you. It is important to pay attention especially when the pet parents are away. I am not afraid to over communicate if it means the pets are well cared for.
“Sophia was great with my kitties! They were both shy but she got them to warm up to her with pets and treats. She left detailed notes and pictures of each visit which gave me peace of mind while I was on my honeymoon. Definitely recommend :)”

I will be definitely contacting her in the future as my go to pet sitter. I also will recommend her to everyone I know. 5 Stars to Sarah!!! James H.”
“Gracie is awesome! She is so sweet with our old boy. Very dependable & is always available when we need her. We have used her services several times. Highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with many pets, and I've had a love for animals from the start. I have been walking dogs/pet sitting for over 10 years now. I have also worked at a doggy daycare and a pet salon, bathing dogs. I've cared for all kinds of dogs: old and young, big and small, energetic and mellow, and I love them all. I'm excited to meet your precious pups! I'm currently working part-time as a pet transport driver, so I have lots of free time right now to care for your pets! When I'm not on the road I am available any day of the week. I cannot currently watch pets at my house but I would be more than happy to come over and watch them at theirs where they would be most comfortable.
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. 🐾

My availability is open morning and night every day!

“This was the second time I’ve asked Baoer to take care of my cats, and she’s been absolutely amazing both times. She always keeps me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious she takes the time to get to know each cat and treats them like they’re her own. When I got home, my cats were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. I truly appreciate how reliable, kind, and thoughtful she is. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pets is priceless, and I’m so grateful I found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter!”
“Valerie was terrific with my furbaby. He was happy & well taken care of. It reduced my stress while traveling knowing there was a dependable person I could count on. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! 🐾❤️ I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. My sitter was caring, attentive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur babies. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐶💕”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been one of my favorite parts of life. I also care for rabbits and guinea pigs, so I understand the responsibility and commitment that comes with keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe every day. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to providing dependable care while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am available for pet care 24/7. I have a consistent daily routine and will always communicate my availability clearly with pet parents. I do have my own pets that I care for, including two guinea pigs, a rabbit and a dog, so I will need to return home briefly each day to maintain their feeding and care routine. I am happy to discuss schedules with each pet parent to make sure their pet’s needs are fully met. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment clean and safe, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they have fresh water, plenty of love, and the care they need while you’re away. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your pet and your space with the same respect, patience, and care that I give my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buford is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $38 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 5,056 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 with handling special pet needs in Buford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
