House Sitting in Buxton

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”

“Haley did an excellent job taking care of my high energy pup. She was very responsive in her communication. She was flexible with her schedule to help me out in a difficult situation and I came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Definitely consider booking her because she does a great job.”

“Eliza was absolutely great with our older Boxer, Penny. She was right on time, took care to give her attention, and I could tell Penny was very happy to have her sitting. I recommend Eliza.”

Kitt S.

“Sparkle was just amazing. It was obvious that our two pups were taken well care of. She provided lovely updates and kept our home very very clean while we were away. If we weren't moving out of town I'd for sure hire her again. HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”

About: Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve become pretty sedentary. I was contemplating getting a gym membership, when I realized that I could walk cute fluffy dogs instead! So, here I am! I had a little white fluffy Maltese for fourteen years named Henry. I lost him due to complications with old age a couple of years ago, and have been too heartbroken to get another dog since. I have a TON of experience with little dogs because of him. I also regularly walk and babysit my friend's and family's pets, so I have many years of experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs. I'm currently WFH with a flexible schedule, so I can adapt my daily or weekly routine to dog-walking or housesitting with ease. I would LOVE to get my steps in, or cuddle with a floof, or housesit somewhere I don't reside and take advantage of trying different restaurants. I don't currently have any pets, so this is my way of getting to pet cute fluffy animals and get paid to do it! Pretty sweet bargain. I have a deep love for dogs and cats and a respect for their preferences, personalities, and autonomy. Care for pets is different, depending on the animal and the pet parents. My sister has three cats. One of them wants nothing to do with humans, and one needs constant attention and pets and cuddles. So, one gets left alone when I babysit and one gets lots of cuddles. One former client of mine had an old dog that liked to be left alone, but didn't want to be alone in the house. So I stayed around the house and didn't bother them much. A different former client had a puppy who wanted to go explore and go for long walks and sniff everything in sight. So that's what we did. It's different for every pet, every family, every household. I'm flexible, and enthusiastic, and hold the belief that while pets are only a small part of our world, to them, we are their whole world. They deserve to have their needs met, and to feel good about the interloper invading their space. I treat every animal with the respect they deserve. I also treat every household with the respect the home deserves. I always leave homes as I found them, or better. I would expect anyone entering my home to hold a degree of respect for my space, and I always offer that same respect in return.

“Delaney rocks. My critters were happy, and that includes a large, ancient, and sometimes grumpy green iguana! She also picked up the mail, watered, and took out the trash. I recommend her for anyone.”

“Traci was super responsive and a great sitter! We had to change our plans last minute and she was understanding and willing to work with us so that our pets could be as well taken care of as possible. She sent daily updates with pictures and video that put my mind at ease and showed us how happy our dog Ellie was with her.”

“Malissa is amazing! She showed up to our meet-and-greet beforehand with an iPad to take copious notes. It was amazing! It’s clear she really cares and takes her job seriously. And our dog loved her and all the love and attention she gives (especially the evening scritches!).”

About: I volunteered many hours at an animal shelter for six months. During my time there, I took all-around care of the cats. I’ve had dogs (of many different personalities and sizes) my entire life, so dogs are part of my daily routine. I often watch my friends dogs and it’s always a pleasure :) Im not currently working so i can take close care of your pet during the time i watch them. I will always be there when food/ walks are needed I will watch over your pet for as long as needed, giving them attention, affection, and food/water and walks when necessary. Also taking care of special needs if they have them.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats from a young age and learned the importance of patience when working with different temperaments. I was a dog handler in the Marines and am able to carry my experience to the civilian world to provide exceptional care and love to your four legged family members. I am available overnights and during the weekend to help take care of your four legged family members.I take pride in my work and ability to care for our family members. I am also a registered nurse.

About: Hello! My name is Allison, and I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, puppies, birds, hamsters, and farm animals. I grew up in a family that owned multiple pet stores, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care from a young age. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me and will get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles! 🤎 I’m currently available full-time, including weekdays and weekends 😊 I’m home most of the day, so pets will get plenty of attention, supervision, and time to play or relax. I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine, but otherwise they’re welcome to roam the house and enjoy time in the backyard. I’m flexible and always try to follow each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home! 🐾 I have a fully fenced in large backyard that your pet can explore! My house has plenty of space for your pet to stretch out and make themselves feel at home. I also live near a large dog park!

About: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years now locally before joining Rover. I have done overnight care as well as just walks/drop-ins multiple times. I have expertise in all sizes from small to large pets as well. My schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to provide care to pets regularly, whether it's early morning or afternoon to night. My schedule allows me to provide assistance whenever needed for the pet-owner! Since I have two dashing St Bernards at home, my family and I normally feed them breakfast & dinner, and take them on walks frequently. In clients home, I intend to showcase the same love to their cutie animal during drop-ins or long period stays.

About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.

“Maria is my hero. She really saved the day for me. She took excellent care of George and kept him safe while I was at work. She is professional and put me at ease the minute she walked in the door. I felt I could trust her with my baby almost immediately. She definitely has George’s stamp approval too! He looked happy and cozy when I arrived home. Thank you Maria ! Our pets are like kids and it feels good having someone I can trust to take care of him.”

About: Although I am new to rover, I am an experienced lifelong pet owner and excited to offer my services as a dog sitter. Your dog will not only receive care but also love and affection. My playful approach allows me to connect with dogs on a deeper level creating trust and ensuring they feel secure and loved while you are away. Since I am retired, I can structure my day around your pets existing schedule. Providing regular bathroom breaks, daily walks and playful time is essential. I want your pet to feel happy, comfortable and keep to their usual routine. I'll keep you up to date with photos and quick notes to ensure your peace of mind. I follow the instructions you provide so your furry friend stays in routine and is comfortable. I'm mindful of potty breaks and each dogs personality and energy level so I can adjust our activities to best suit their needs. I have a very large completely fenced yard to play in and am happy to come to your home if that is where your pet happiest.
