“Louis is such an excellent sitter! I am so thankful to have found the right fit for my fur fam. It takes a huge weight off my mind when I have to travel. This time Louis saved my chickens from a possum 😆 my dogs are always happy to see Louis when he is over!”
“Danijela was an absolute blessing! This was my first experience using Rover and leaving my pups behind. One is hyperactive and has severe separation anxiety while the other is a grumpy old man. They are not the easiest to handle in Danijela’s care, they seemed happy and well taken care for. We are so happy we chose her and will use her again for sure!”
About: Here’s some Info about me: I am 18, graduated class of 2025, currently just trying to start my life and figure out my goals and ambitions. I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, also including farm animals and reptiles, I have also helped facilitate 3 Labrador litters. Caring for animals is a huge passion of mine so I am grateful to have the opportunity to spend my time doing this. I am super flexible and under standing. I’m currently working part time in the evenings. I have weekends off. I sometimes work Saturday but I will never double book if I know it won’t work with my schedule, the pets in my care are always my first priority. I love to stay active, so taking animals outside on walks and runs is also enjoyable for me if that’s what your pet needs, I’m super accommodating aswell.
“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! ♡”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have several years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I am currently working part time remotely, therefore I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting depending on your needs. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicative, and attentive so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing supervision, and creating a calm environment. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. Whether caring for pets in your home or during walks and visits, I treat every animal as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care.
“Ebony did a great job watching our two dogs. She updated us every day with pictures of our pups, had good communication throughout her stay, and took great care of our home. We would definitely book with Ebony again.”
“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! 😃🐶!”
“Kristen cared for my for and my 2 cats (one with separation anxiety issues) for 6 days. She was pretty darn nice about the cat problems and sent photos and updates regularly. She’s an absolute delight and I will call on her help again. I’ve already recommended her to several of my friends.”
“Cierra was wonderful! We needed someone on short notice and we found her. She took excellent care of our pets. Our kitty is not easy to work with at all, but she was patient and understanding. She kept our home clean and even washed the sheets after house sitting. She kept in communication and we knew we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Would highly recommend.”
“Patricia took incredible care of our home abd our pup Zoe. Zoe has medication and behavioral needs and Patricia took it all in stride. Communication was great and she really goes the extra mile with your pet while you are away. 10/10”
About: I’ve owned pets for all my life and believe that all animals deserve to be treated with kindness and love. I’ve helped walk and dog sit for people for four years now. I’ve stayed with puppies, senior dogs (barely can walk and use the bathroom), and dogs filled with anxiety. I hope to make your pet’s time away from you as peaceful and enjoyable as possible. I’m home from college this summer so my schedule is very open to staying with a pet for however long they need. Staying over night or just a few hours to keep them entertained, loved, and cared for all work perfectly with my schedule. I love to spend personal time with my clients’ pets, making sure their nervous systems are regulated and cared for. I don’t just care for their physical health but also mental. I can stay at my client’s house and take pets on daily walks, making sure they get plenty of of exercise.
“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!”
“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!”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with. She was respectful, kind, clean and attentive. She took care of our dogs and they quickly bonded to her while she stayed at our house. She communicated the whole time we were away and sent us pictures of their snuggles and activities. She was flexible and even stayed an extra day when our flight was cancelled and followed up to make sure the dogs were okay after her visit. I trust her with our home and dogs and would 100% book her again. It was such a relief to know they were loved and taken care of while we were away visiting family. Thanks for loving our little gremlins like your own Sandra!”
“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 😊”
About: I have worked with many different animals since I was young. I can work with all types of animals from dogs and cats to farm animals! I am great with puppies and kittens. I have a very flexible schedule with a weeks notice. I am always available on weekends! I am open to adjusting my schedules in order to meet your needs! :) I have farm animals outside that are all extremely friendly and fenced in. Dogs and cats can be put on a runner outside if needed, regardless there is plenty of space for them to have fun! I currently have no animals living in my home, so any animal is welcome for care inside. I love hanging out with pets so if your pet is clingy, I will love to keep them company. :)
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Buncom
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 261 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
- 96% 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.
