“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”

About: I've always had a dog throughout my entire life. At this current moment, I have 28 pets which include 1 dog, 1 bunny, 1 goat, 2 goats, and 23 chickens. During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs. If needed I can stay overnight with your pet to make sure he gets all of his bathroom breaks, water, and food!!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so that’s 25 years of loving animals, but just 11 years as the sole caregiver of my own. From Labradors to Chihuahuas, to Police K-9s, I’ve loved them all, though I’m currently a cat lady. For the first time in my life, I don’t have any dogs at the moment, as I don’t feel like I have enough space for it to be fair to them. So this is how I get my dog fix, and my steps in at the same time 🤭. I currently have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog, I’m a sucker for an exotic pet. I’ve also had 4 snakes in the past (my husband is terrified or else I’d have some right now). One of my cats is leash trained, and one has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well. I do work full-time during the week, so I am only available after 5pm. Sometimes I’m able to step away for breaks as I work from home 3 days per week, but my work is pretty irregular, so afternoons and evenings are the best bet for my availability. I live in a relatively small condo, so I don’t have much space. As much as I would love to offer boarding, I don’t think it would be fair to your pet, as I also do not have a yard. BUT I’m more than happy to stop by your home and fulfill any requests!
“Five stars! I’d double them if I could. First of all Brianna agreed to watch Sasha without even meeting her or us. We all took a leap of faith and I feel it paid off. Through consistent text messages and photos she managed to ease any apprehensions I may have had on this last minute booking. I can’t thank Brianna enough and have her in my contact list if I ever need another sitter. First round draft pick!”

“Abby is really great at watching my cats while I am at work. She plays with them, feeds them and makes sure they are ok. I just found out my older cat has cancer and she makes sure to update me with pictures and notes. I had to change my work days recently and she was flexible and accommodating. I was so worried about being away from them but she has made me feel at ease while I’m at work. I know they are being taken care of. I would highly recommend her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Sara is wonderful, her attention to detail, thoughtful communication is one of my favorite qualities. Tatertot was well taken care of on her drop in visits. We will rebook, when she has availability. Your pets are in good hands! I highly recommend”

“Meghan has been terrific with our little old anxious dog! She has stayed with him twice and taken care of our house, filled bird feeders, etc., and she came during a holiday week (most recently) to let him out mid-day, staying long enough to play, give him treats, and take him out a 2nd time. And send a pic! Really appreciate her willingness to do this the day after Christmas!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of family and friends since I was in my teens, but more extensively in college and since. For 3 years I boarded and sat for three different family friends. I’ve personally helped raise 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve even helped herd sheep and tamed alpacas! I work nearly full-time as a server at a restaurant, so Wednesday to Saturday night I’m unavailable for somewhere between 6-9 hours on those days. When I have my off days I’m usually at home or out for a walk. I’m usually efficient with my errands and have extensive free time on off days. My apartment is a one bedroom, so if I’m not playing around the apartment with the pet, I’d want to bring them on a walk or to the park. I have a very comfortable bedroom conducive to nap time, and I live in the heart of Old Port. Whenever I am with pets in my house I am always looking to set up a cozy space for them to relax with blankets, pillows, their favorite toys. I try to make them feel like a proper guest in my home like anyone else. My apartment is always very quiet despite being downtown, but I would hope to find activities we could do in and around Portland to help keep them active and entertained.
“Amy is incredible, she goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is loved and cared for. My dog Lilo is almost 10 and dog reactive, but Amy not only won Lilo over immediately she was also able to take her for walks while effectively managing Lilo's triggers. She goes out of her way to make sure Lilo has plenty of attention and stimulation and I feel so much more relaxed about having to leave my pup with Amy taking care of her.”

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Animals naturally gravitate toward my calm, patient energy, and I treat every guest like a member of my own family. What truly sets me apart is my experience with specialized and complex care. I am the proud owner of a high-energy Tamaskan dog, so I completely thrive with active, high-energy breeds. I love taking dogs on long walks, structured dog park adventures, public socialization outings, and even handling bath trips! Additionally, growing up on a property with racehorses taught me a deep love, respect, and safety-first mindset for large animals. I have also raised over 15 chickens and roosters. Whether you have an athletic pup who needs an intense workout, a multi-pet household, or livestock that need exact farm routines followed, I bring a lifetime of versatile, trustworthy experience to your extended furry family. My schedule is highly adaptable, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's exact daily routine! Because pet care is my primary focus, I have plenty of time throughout the day for active dog walks, park trips, and dedicated drop-in visits. For boarding and overnight care, your pet will receive constant supervision and companionship. I structure my days around the needs of the animals in my care, ensuring that high-energy breeds get their necessary exercise and senior pets stay perfectly on track with their medication and rest schedules. Safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. Growing up around racehorses instilled a strict safety-first mindset in me from an early age, which I apply to every animal I watch. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure, and highly comfortable environment where they are treated just like my own. Because I own a high-energy breed, I am incredibly vigilant about environment control, secure doors, and safe socialization. When caring for pets in your home or managing farm routines, I am extremely detail-oriented. I take the time to meticulously learn your specific setup, gates, security measures, and animal dynamics. I also provide clear, consistent communication and photo updates during every single booking so you can relax knowing your pets and property are in expert, loving hands.

“Sergey communicated well with us and was very reliable. Our cat is shy, and he managed to get photos of her to put our minds at ease while we were away for over a week!”


“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”


About: Experienced veterinary technician assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled in medication administration and comfortable caring for pets of any age or size. I go to school and work a job but I also find myself with lots of free time during the week.

I’m a middle school teacher with a lot of free time in the summer and open afternoons during the school year! I am hoping to fill my time helping your family! I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes in the home. Although, I avoid these messes by being consistent with walks/letting dogs out to use the bathroom on a regular basis.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buxton is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 951 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buxton. 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
