“Kevin is a very intuitive, intelligent and kind. He kept our dogs happy and we had zero worries. His presence with animals and people is like a balm, very soothing personality. He left the home and property in beautiful order after his housesitting was complete. So lucky to have found him, thanks again to the world’s best dog whisperer!”
“Chasity was so flexible and worked with us for this last-minute booking! I had to go to the ER and was later admitted, Chasity and I were able to work together stress-free so I knew my girl at home would be cared for. Gave me peace of mind and was able to focus on healing!”
About: I’ve taken care of both friends and family dogs and cats, family dog is a trained service animal. Have walked neighborhood dogs in the past. Over the summer I work 30 hours a week Mon-Fri but other than that I will be free to take care of your pets I am very present and engaging, I am CPR certified. I am very outdoorsy and love to go on walks. On time with feeding and meals as well as medication
“Michelle took excellent care of our girl, Scout (100 lb lab mix)! We went away to Texas for a long weekend and were sad to leave our furry family member, Scoutie, behind. Michelle sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us a huge peace of mind while we were away. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much, Michelle!”
About: We all know it, and we've all heard it: humans don't deserve dogs. They are the best part about us, and their unconditional love is what sets them apart. I hope to do the same with your dog and/or cat, as I've done for every pet that I've watched for over 10 years of my life. I am a full-time employee at UniWyo Credit Union, which means I work your typical 8am-5pm job with 1 hour lunch whenevr I'd like to take it (which means there is flexibility with my schedule). You can trust me to take care of your pet and let them outside when it's needed. I'm also comfortable with dogs sleeping in the bed with me. I currently don't have any dogs or cats, which makes me schedule flexible. Even though I don't have a dog myself, I get my fix from everyone I know and love (my boyfriend has a dog; my parents have a dog; my sister has 2 dogs; my in-laws have 4 dogs, etc). Since I have watched a variety of pets, I'm also comfortable with providing medications (pills, eye drops, ear drops) as needed.
About: My cat Anka is my best friend, and I will always treat your pets with the same consideration I have for her! I’m prepared to interact with them the way they deserve and spend genuine time, love, and attention. I can always rewash my hands, but I can never replace the opportunity to love on your fur-ball. I know being away from your family is hard too; I cherish the opportunity to make it easier by being dependable. I prioritize transparency and open communication because trust is important when you’re relying on a stranger to watch your pets. Whether you want to check in, get updates, see pictures, or need reassurance, I am there for you! Everybody’s needs are different too, so don’t hesitate to let me know what special treatment they require. Whether your friend is energetic and needs lots of walks, or a senior who needs low-stress play, I’ll follow your instruction and make sure they’re safe. I genuinely love all animals and I’m excited to take care of yours! Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for considering!! I work the same hours every week, and have plenty of downtime to find a plan that works for you. On Mon, Wed, Thur, and Sat I work from 10AM, and get off between 2PM and 4PM. I am free otherwise, so I’ll have ample time to hangout with your friend! I have a very mellow cat who has lived with dogs, but she can also be secured in her own space in my house if needed. I have a large, fenced backyard and live near a park as well. I prefer to watch pets in their own environment to maintain routine and decrease anxiety, but I’m open to accommodating in my home as well! I have a car, so you won’t need to worry about pick ups or drop offs if that’s a concern.
“Highly recommend! It’s hard leaving your fur babies when you’re gone for an extended period of time but Vanessa kept me at ease! Photos and videos with updates each day and took care of our house as well. Will be booking again.”
“Kamryn is another dog sitter with Rover whose love for dogs is crystal clear. She loves being with my dog Jake and he is clearly happy being with her! I hope to continue to have Kamryn as another one of my Rover star sitters I can have stay with Jake over and over, making it a lot easier for me to leave him when I need to travel. Highly recommended!”
“Kayla watched our dog Moses for two nights. She was a phenomenal sitter for our fur baby. She is very communicative and kept us updated multiple times a day. Moses loved her and had a great time with her on numerous daily walks all over the neighborhood, he definitely got spoiled. We highly recommend Kayla and look forward to having her sit for us again in the future.”
About: I have grown up around pets and livestock my whole life. I have always loved every pet and animal that has come across my path. I even am in school to become a veterinarian! I have taken care of other people’s pets, and always treat them as my own. Willing to give references if ever needed. I have my own pets; and growing up I had the opportunity to raise and care for many different animals and pets. Making my schedule work around the animals is something I completely understand. I myself have three dogs so understand making them work. I always keeps mornings and afternoons free, as well has have a lunch break making it easy to drop-in visits or anything of that sort I have a fenced yard and take my own, dog-friendly dogs, on two walks a day which vary in location. I usually try to play fetch at least one of the times we go out, and the walks always last from 30-60 minutes.
About: I have plenty of pup care from family, friends and fur babies of my own. I can do anything your baby needs and more. From only a few weeks old to an old doggo. My schedules are super flexible whatever your pup or kitty needs I can make happen for them. I am in the military so availability will vary. I wake up early most days and take my pup out for a potty break and following that I feed her. Depending how busy the day is I will take her to the park or if I am watching other pets I will take them on a super long walk.
“Tarryn did a great job taking care of my two dogs! She took them on lots of walks to help their separation anxiety and truly tried to make them as comfortable as possible while we were away. She sent us updates almost daily and sent lots of cute pictures!”
“Christine was wonderful with our dog, Linus. Linus is very leery of new people and it takes some patience to fully gain his trust, to understand and appreciate him! She was perfect for him! They were fast friends and he was a happy pup in our absence. What more could a dog mom want!? Highly recommend!”
“We had Maddie watch our labs for 2 nights and a day, she did awesome. Always sent us pictures and the house looked perfect. We would use her again. She was so good with our dogs”
“Thank you so much for watching our fur babies! This was our first trip away since moving to CO - and we were so nervous to leave the pups! They did great with Casey, and we love that she sent us update pictures throughout the weekend! ☺️ We feel so much more at ease knowing we have someone that the pups know well enough when we leave town!”
About: Es indescriptible con pocas palabras el amor tan grande que siento por todos los animales, en especial por los perros, tengo 42 años y toda mi vida siempre he tenido a mi lado un perrito, así que cuento con la capacidad de saber entender sus necesidades básicas, cuando tienen sed, hambre, quieren jugar o tienen alguna molestia, ese amor y entendimiento me permiten considerar que cuento con la capacidad y la dedicación para hacer este hermoso trabajo que además me hace feliz. Trabajo los fines de semana de viernes a domingo, pero cuento con total disponibilidad para cuidar a tus peludos de lunes a jueves en el horario que necesites de mi apoyo en el cuidado de ellos. Tengo un jardín, no cuenta con valla en este momento pero puedo sacarlo con su collar, si prefieres que lo cuide en tu casa, también podré hacerlo, tengo en mi casa una perrita pug, ella es muy juguetona y amigable, puede llevarse bien con otros perritos, pero yo me adapto a las condiciones que a ti como papá o mamá perruna, te parezcan mejor para que el peludito esté seguro y feliz, durante el tiempo que vaya a compartir conmigo.
“This was my first time using Erika and she was great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions, as Ginger was anxious from the wind and unknown reasons. Erika is very caring and I can tell she loves animals. Ginger was happy and healthy when I came home and my house was clean and well cared for!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Buford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 126 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
