“We had the absolute best experience with Kaylee as our dog and cat sitter! She took such amazing care of our pets and made being away from home completely stress-free. She sent us tons of pictures and regular updates, which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. It was clear from every update that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. On top of being wonderful with our pets, Kaylee was incredibly respectful of our home. We came back to the house cleaner and neater than we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% book Kaylee again in a heartbeat! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and responsible to watch their pets and home”

“George did a great job taking care of my elderly cat, including giving daily medication. He kept me updated with regular photos and videos so I knew she was doing fine, and was well looked after.”
About: Experience & Background: Hands-On Fostering & Rescue Experience. My understanding of canine behavior comes from my experience as a dog foster. Fostering taught me how to support dogs of all personalities—from rescue pups adjusting to new environments, to high-energy dogs needing structured outlets, to timid pets requiring extra patience and gentle encouragement. Fostering trained me to read subtle dog body language, manage different temperaments safely, and strictly follow customized care plans, feeding schedules, and medication routines. Yes, I can give insulin if needed. Safety-First Approach & Dog Handling: Your dog’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. In addition to my rescue experience, I practice strict safety protocols during every visit and walk: Leash & Gear Awareness: Double-checking harnesses, collars, and leashes before every walk to prevent escapes or gear failures. My well maintained fenced yard has ample amount of room to catch some sunlight and run and play. Proactive Walking Habits: Maintaining full environmental awareness on walks—avoiding unwanted off-leash dog encounters, staying clear of busy street hazards, and pacing walks to match your dog's fitness level and the weather. Routine & Structure: Following your home rules and training cues consistently so your dog maintains their normal routine without unnecessary stress. Tailored Care for Every Stage of Life Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk, structured mental enrichment and playtime, or gentle companionship for a senior pet, I adapt my care to their exact physical and emotional needs. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every visit, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for. I currently work overnights and have all day availability. I can provide last minute drop ins, 30+60 minute outdoor walks and high energy runs in the rain, snow or shine. Hi, I’m Ryan! Whether you need active daily walks, structured drop-in visits, or attentiveness while you’re away, my goal is to give your dog a safe, fun, and fulfilling experience—and give you complete peace of mind. - High-Attention & Structured Care: I understand that every dog has different needs—from high-energy breeds that need solid physical exercise to timid pups that require patience and gentle encouragement. - Safety & Reliability First: I practice proper leash etiquette, maintain total awareness on walks, and follow your home and feeding routines to the letter. - Clear & Consistent Updates: You will receive daily updates with photos and videos as well as details on feeding, bathroom breaks, and activities after every visit or walk. - Dog Walking: Tailored to your pup's energy level, whether that means a fast-paced fitness walk or a leisurely one. I handle leash manners with care and always double-check secure gear before heading out. - Drop-In Visits & Sitting: Includes fresh water, scheduled meals, playtime/enrichment, mental stimulation, and any medication administration your pet requires. - Daily Routine: I stick strictly to the house rules you’ve established so your dog stays on their normal, comfortable schedule. - I am comfortable managing specific feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and special care instructions.
“Kristie did an amazing job and was also very flexible with her schedule to accommodate our needs. Our pup was super happy to have lots of outings and snuggles while we were away.”

About: I always grew up with two dogs, and have taken care of many pets for neighbors, friends and family from a young age. Care has ranged from dog walking, giving allergy medicine, to pet sitting for 2 weeks at a time. I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to take care of any pets throughout the day without leaving them alone for long periods of time. I coach at Clarion, and aside from practices or competitions, my schedule is very flexible so I can easily make trips to frequently take care of your pets I am near a lot of great walking spaces, and love to pet and play with animals. They are also welcome to be on the couch or bed
About: I’m a dog whisperer. They understand us more than we think, they are created to be in subjection to us. Hh hh hh hh hh The flexibility works well with my lifestyle. I am a busy mom but so excited to do fun flexible work. Hh hh hh hh hh I try to respect the animal and its routine. I know that makes life easier for mom and dad, but also it’s less stress. Hh

About: I’ve been pet sitting and caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, and I can genuinely say there are few things that make me happier than getting to know a new furry friend. I currently run my own pet-sitting business and have been incredibly lucky to build a wonderful little family of happy pets, repeat clients, and pet parents who trust me with their babies. I know every pet is their own little person! Some want to play fetch until your arm falls off, some want to be your shadow, some would happily spend the entire visit getting belly rubs, and others need a little extra patience and time before deciding you’re worthy of their friendship. I love learning all of those little quirks and keeping their normal routines as familiar and comfortable as possible while their people are away. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including multi-pet households and routine oral and topical medications. And because I know how much you miss your babies when you’re apart, I’m a BIG believer in sending plenty of photos and updates along the way! Your pets won’t just be fed, walked, and checked on…they’ll get conversation, playtime, companionship, scratches, cuddles, and plenty of love. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and being genuinely cared for. Loving Your Pets Like They’re My Own isn’t just my slogan, it’s exactly what I try to do with every animal entrusted to me. 💕🐾 Pet sitting is already a regular part of my weekly routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to devote plenty of time to the pets in my care. I’m available weekdays, evenings, weekends, and overnight, and can often accommodate extended stays as well. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, some company during a long workday, or someone to stay with them while you’re away, I love being able to plan my schedule around their normal routine. When I’m caring for your babies, they’re never treated like something I need to “fit in.” Spending time with them is the best part of my day! 💕 I provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding and potty schedule, favorite activities, medication needs, and any special instructions their family provides. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and their safety and comfort are always my priority. I never force interaction with a shy or nervous pet…I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to decide that we’re friends! While you’re away, I’ll provide plenty of companionship, playtime, conversation, scratches, cuddles, and love, along with lots of photos and updates so you can see how your babies are doing. 🐾💕
“Moon was absolutely amazing. We have 5 dogs and a cat. She took great care of our pets and made sure that they had plenty of play time, cuddle time, and of course, treats! She always sent plenty of photos every day and communicated with us throughout our vacation. All of our pets took to her right away and they were very happy and healthy when we returned home from our trip. We will definitely be using Moo. On our next trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 789 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Buffalo. 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 North Buffalo 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 North Buffalo 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 North Buffalo 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
