About: I provide individualized, attentive care that follows your dog’s routine, rules, feeding schedule, and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and less stressed while you’re away. I grew up with dogs, genuinely love being around them, and I’m doing this to help save for college. You can expect responsive communication, accountability, and care that treats your pet like family. This is my main focus while I save for college in the coming year, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to be present with the dogs in my care. I’m active, available for regular walks, and able to maintain each dog’s normal routine while giving them consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. When I’m house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, both for the home and for the pets. If your dog is used to walking at a certain time, eating on a schedule, or taking medication at a specific hour, I stick to that. I want their day to feel as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with routines, and making sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and time with someone who is actually there.
“Link had another great stay with Louis! Louis kept us updated each day so my partner and I could focus on what was at hand on our respective trips. Louis was even able to navigate a potentially negative situation with an off leash dog in our neighborhood and advocated for our pup, which was so relieving. We will 100% book Louis again and appreciate what a great job is always done when watching our pup ❤️ Thank you Louis! 😊”
“Atlas was great with our animals! Our Dog and Cat were both very well cared for. Atlas was a great communicator and sent us updates every day while we were gone, will definitely be utilizing her services again next time we are gone 😊”
“Gabrielle was wonderful while my husband and I were away for the weekend! She was very communicative and incredibly patient with our cat, who isn’t always the friendliest with guests. She was also very understanding of our dog Teddy’s anxiety and took great care of him, even when he had a few anxious accidents. Our home was exactly as we left it, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We would be happy to have her watch our pets again!”
“Linda is amazing! We were out of town for a week and had to leave our precious dogs, Harley and Teddy, at home. It was our first time being away from them for so long, and it wasn’t easy. Linda cared for them with so much love, and the boys absolutely loved her. We even came home to a spotless house! We truly recommend her services. Thank you again, Linda — you’re the best! ♡”
“Kristen was fantastic! She was so kind, wonderful with our cats, left our home very clean and tidy, and she sent wonderful pictures. I felt so comfortable with her in our home and with our cats and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Sandra house sat for us over a long weekend and took great care of our home and our two cats and dog. She checked in a few times to let us know things were going well and I appreciated that. She left our home very clean. We look forward to booking with Sandra again!”
“Angelica was great! She communicated with us prior and during the house stay and set clear expectations. This was our first time doing house sitting and we were thrilled! Our pups are terrified of fireworks and she sent plenty of pics of them cuddled up with her relaxing. Overall a great experience with someone that you can tell loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
“Sarah is perfect, as far as I can tell. The dogs are happy, the chickens are fed, and the house is neat as pin. She’s really communicative, too. I’ve booked with her again, so I’m not afraid you’ll steal her!”
“Austin took care of our dogs and home while my husband and I were away for a few days. From the very start he was very responsive. He came to do a meet and greet and I knew then he would be a good fit because our dogs seemed to really like him. He was an excellent communicator, sent daily updates and pictures, and seemed very attentive to our dogs and home. In fact, one of our dogs had an upset tummy and needed to be fed a special diet and extra probiotics and Austin handled that situation quite well. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. We will definitely be rebooking Austin for future house sits!”
“Andrea is a wonderful sitter! She stayed with our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. she kept us up to speed with daily check ins and photos, Chaco loveed spending time with her, and we knew our home was cared for while we were away. We will definitely call on her in the future!”
About: I have worked with dogs for over ten years professionally, and with cats my whole life both personally and professionally. I was a trainer as well, and I've taken classes in zoology and canid biology and care. I can also do medications as that was part of my job working with dogs before. I am very conscious of pet care, I have two dogs, three cats, a snake, and four parakeets. So I am constantly already taking care of pet needs, I'm just trying to expand my reach. Animals are my passion, and I take care of them regardless of anything else. I would be respectful of the clients rules and their care for pets, I've done in home sitting before. I've also had multiple years experience working with different clients and never had a bad review.
“Bryce is amazing! He is such a nice person! He took wonderful care of Skeeter at the house. Skeeter told us that she had a great time with Bryce. She even went to look for him when he left. We highly recommend him to take wonderful care of your animals! 😃🐶!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6. I’m experienced in walking, crate training, potty training, bathing and administering medication. I know can to help them with upset stomachs. I CAN take care of cats and dogs 24/7 while they are with me. Nothing is more important to me than your pet feeling safe and welcome. I’m currently not working so I am home all throughout the day ready to care for your loved ones. Your pets are my number one priority and will make sure giving pets are on demand. I have a fenced yard and multiple rooms and kennels in my house so they can be locked up easily if needed. I will follow YOUR feeding schedule and not stray from routine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. Family friends have always relied on me for help. They trust me more than anything else. Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and patient animal lover who treats every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll provide plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, communicate well, and I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them the love and care they deserve! I have 2 family golden-doodles who have taught me huge amounts about dogs! My family adopted them when they were puppies and have been adored since.
“Over all I would give Camilla a 10. She is very good with my little dogs. Very professional and sent pictures and updates. We will be having her dog and house sit in the future. Highly recommend her great services.”
“Anna was a wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Yuki, while we were away for a week. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat who had clearly been well cared for and enjoyed Anna’s company—she cuddled with her, which is always good to see! Anna was attentive, responsible, and left our home in excellent condition. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”
“I can't praise Olivia enough! She was so kind and accommodating when our tire blew out on the way home. She stayed with our dog longer than expected, even during the holidays. Our pup and home were so well cared for. I will gladly hire Olivia again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 242 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Buncom. 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 Buncom 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 Buncom 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 Buncom 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 Buncom. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
