“Abby did a great job taking care of Levi! She was very kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing Levi was in good hands.”
“Rayanna did amazing caring for our puppy, Theo. She followed all of his unique care instructions and sent lots of photos throughout the night. 10/10 recommend!”
“Keisha was amazing with our 10 year old dog! This was our first time using a sitter and it went so smoothly. We got tons of pictures updates and Keisha left the house in tip top shape. I highly recommend working with her! Best of the best!”
About: Ive been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents ran a pet-care business out of our home—starting with family pets and growing into a well-known service in our city. Because of this, handling dogs of all personalities is second nature to me. I’m also very active and athletic, so I love taking dogs out for long walks or brisk runs—perfect if you have a high-energy pup who needs to burn off extra steam. I do work full time during the week and I go into an office. I would be available on my lunch break to let your pup out if you are in the area of my work and also at night during the week and on weekends. I have my own almost 4 year old black lab. He is very well behaved and I have a nice open backyard where he gets to run freely.
About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”
“Michael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.”
“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own! Big or small I’ll watch them all I work from home 3 days per week, and am happy to provide care for your animals first thing in the morning, mid day, or in the evening. I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!
About: Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic outdoor walk, cozy companionship while you’re away, or attentive overnight care in your home, I’m here to give them the top-tier love and attention they deserve. I would love to meet you and your pet companion! Feel free to reach out a schedule a meet and greet with me! 🐾 I am currently going through a career change so this is my primary job at the moment. This is great news for your pets because I can devote all of my time and energy into caring for them! Since I am not currently boating due to my living situation, I will make sure your pet will experience the same care that you provide in your own home.
“Dave is awesome! He took great care of our dogs. He sent plenty of updates and pics. Having someone that we can trust to handle anything that comes up when we are a away is invaluable. Thanks Dave!”
About: Hey! My name is Jillian and i’m here to make you and your pets life easier. Personally I have 1 dog of my own, 2 hamsters and 1 leopard gecko, so I have a lot of experience with all different types of animals. I also have done many drop in visits for friends over the years, dog walks, and over night stays, so you can be sure I will provide the best expiernce to your pet that I can and have done in the past for other pets. I am willing to take care of any pet you may have as long you just give some information on what I can do to make them comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to ready my profile and i’m excited to meet your pet! Currently I am working a steady 4 days a week from 7-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thrusday and Friday, so any time after that I should be able to provide care. For Wednesdays I’ll be at class at random times but will have free time periodically, and then for Saturday and Sunday I should be free at any time unless I have something planned for that day. I currently walk my dog every day so I have lots of experience dealing with a bigger dog on walks, and I also make sure he gets 2 good portioned meals a day and a treat in the afternoon after his walk! I will do the same for your dog unless they have a special diet or meal times that I need to know about. I also make sure to play ball with my dog everyday because he has lots of energy! With my smaller pets they are also fed twice a day and I always make sure they have water and I try to put something enriching in there cage especially while i’m gone.
“Molly absolutely crushed it- I can’t say enough good things. Our dogs have huge personalities, some bizarre behaviors, and special needs (and so does our weird old rental house) and she handled all of it with aplomb. Our resident canine klutz tore his paw pad the night before we left, and even though we totally sprung this development on Molly at the last minute, pro that she is, she jumped in and changed his dressings, kept the area clean, AND kept the dog calm to prevent further injury. He was basically fully healed upon our return. Thanks, Molly! We will be back if you’ll have us- with fewer surprises next time, we hope!”
“Jenn was so great with my very spoiled Great Pyrenees at her home Christmas weekend. She was so good at communicating and sending pictures the weekend she was with him. I felt she genuinely cared so much about Koda and us too. I will definitely be contacting her again on our next travels. Thanks again Jenn!”
“Patricia was great with Jeter! He was very well taken care of and she shared pictures with us while we were away. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.
“We trust Travis with our cats and house, he is always our first choice whenever we go out of town. Above and beyond- great updates and when we come home it is clear our pets and house were well cared for. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Butler
Erin is a fantastic dog sitter . She spent the weekend at our home caring for our 6 year old Boston Terrier who weighs 36 lbs. He doesn’t do well without a human to care for him. He is also a picky eater. She is very caring and responsible. She also sent pictures of him that gives you a good feeling while away. She has dogs of her own and it shows. We are happy she was available and will definitely use her in the future.
While we were gone on a short trip, Angela brought in the mail and or packages and most importantly took care of my cat Buffy. When Angela dropped by to pick up the key, Buffy initially ran from the door but when she heard her voice, Buffy was rubbing her legs and so happy to see her again after the meet & greet. Angela really is a cat whisperer! When we returned from our trip, Buffy was calm, relaxed and all was well in her world. I definitely would recommend Angela to anyone, especially if you have cats! She is a gem.
Hands down best dog sitter and will use her services again. Very friendly, loves dogs, good communicator, detail oriented. I get very anxious leaving my anxious dog who can be quite a bit to handle with all his quirks, but was not worried leaving him with Margit. She is laid back and easy to work with yet professional and clearly has experience with dogs. Really appreciate her and how well she cared for our dog with separation anxiety.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Butler is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $73 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,216 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Butler. 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 Butler 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 Butler 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 Butler 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
