“Paula is friendly and so knowledgeable. Her dogs were great playmates for my dog, so I got a happy, tired out pup when I came for pick up. Paula was flexible with me on drop off and pick up times due to icy roads - I really appreciated her kind demeanor and quick communication.”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“Robert was great with my dogs. They had a nice place to sleep and play. I think they thought they were on vacation. He was very thoughtful about making the dogs feel at home. Will definitely bring them back again!”
“Manisha and her family take care of Blue like he is their own. That puts me at ease knowing he is loved and taken care of when I am away. He is always happy to see them!”
“Kylee was absolutely amazing with our dog Sunny! She was so easy to communicate with, she sent daily pics and it looked like Sunny had such a good time with her and her family. We will absolutely be having Kylee watch Sunny again!!!”
“We are so grateful for Chaun for taking such great care of our Gus over Christmas! We got regular updates that were thoughtful and fun, and he seemed to have a blast with her own pups (and kitty). He came home tired and happy- thank you again for your care, Chaun!”
“Lorri did a wonderful job with Dunkin’s stay. Very reliable, responsive, and great with pets. Dunkin came home happy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Our golden stayed with Halyley and Graham for a week, and clearly had a wonderful time. We appreciated the daily photos and reports, and had total confidence that Piccolo was in good loving hands. Thanks, you guys! We'll contact you again.”
“Second time with Amy and Jeff, and the dogs were really excited to see Amy when we dropped them off. Dogs seemed really comfortable, and we got regular updates throughout the trip. Will definitely continue to use Amy’s services!”
“Gage was absolutely great to work with. He took great care of our Boston Terrier Sasha. We received timely updates about Sasha every single day. This was our first time on Rover and we lucked out with Gage. Such a kind and caring person. Sasha came back happy, very playful and in a great mood. I highly recommend Gage and his pet-sitting services.”
“Our dogs were very happy at Irene's tidy home. Plenty of room to play indoors and out in her fenced yards. Good opportunity for our fur kids to socialize with other dogs in her care. We appreciated the frequent photos and updates.”
About: I’m just a dog lover who enjoys taking walks a few times a week. I’ve had rescues my entire life, so I have my own personal experience with animals. I currently have a almost 4 year old, shy, rescue that we have been working on confidence building with. I work a full-time job, so I’m looking to fit in boarding on the weekends and holidays. I'm open for long term boarding as well. I live in apartment, but we take our dogs on walks to get their energy out and supplement the lack of a yard where we can. My dogs are spoiled and happy. We do also have a doggy run in our complex that we can use as well. I would be the sole caretaker for your pup.
“Jennifer and Eric and their two sons were amazing with my nine month old pup! I was so grateful to have a safe loving home for my dog to be at while I was out of town. Thank you again so much for treating her like your own!”
“Barry took such great care of Bug. He was very intentional with walks and treat enrichment. He has great communication. I will definitely use him in the future.”
“Chom Chom had a wonderful stay with Heath & Amy! They made sure he had plenty of time outside and lots of snuggles. Chom got a lot well with all the other pups and had a great time!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Buxton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Buxton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Buxton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
