About: When I was 3 we had cats in the house and a dog. As I got older we had more cats and dogs. I have always been around them. I currently have 2 labs & a beagle. I have experience with elderly dog care, puppy, administering medication & monitoring input and output. I do know how to clip dog nails & clean their ears as well as bathe them. I am a full time mom and I stay home with our 3 children. My children love to be outside so we spend a lot of time outside playing with our dogs. We have a fenced backyard - about .4 acres fenced in. We live in a development and go on walks with our dogs. We have built in dog crates in our entertainment center where dogs could sleep if needed. We also have a dog fence we could make a play area for.
“We’ve used Kayla and John multiple times and are always glad for it. Love the pictures they send. They do a wonderful job and it’s obvious they care. Thanks, and look forward to using y’all again”
“Zoey was amazing. She was super easygoing, and great with all my dogs. She provided detailed check-in’s and made sure my pups were well taken care of. I would recommend her and rebook :)”

“Samantha was incredibly attentive with my dogs and had excellent communication with me. It is obvious that she loves working with animals and my dogs responded in kind. We are looking forward to working with her again soon!!”
About: Available all holidays. I work with people and their pets consistently. I have a background in the medical and paralegal field . We can accommodate any pup , any situation! I have had my own dog kennel for years . I’m very energetic & love animals & so does my son & family members who do this with me . I take them on walks and keep them entertained . Since i have experience whelping and with mommy dogs , i can take on any challenge . I can administer medication responsibly. Not all dogs get along with other dogs , i understand that . I have a nice insulated building with heat and ac for the dogs who really prefer their own space . It’s very nice & comfortable in there. But i do offer space in my home as well for free roam or the very nice puppy cave - lots of land !&& a great areas to play in - no roads near by . Plus a 6 ft tall fence. They gets lots of play time since I’m generally home. I Keep toys and supplies & cute fenced in areas for smaller pups as well to separate from big pups . Doggies are spoiled here, every pup gets one on one time . Plenty of space to run && play outside & in the very spacious open floor home . From big to little , they are welcome here . Experience with high anxiety pets and older dogs. Conditioned “puppy cave” in home as well for pups who like their own space but don’t want to be in the building . Prices can be discussed for multiples & long stays or in general if it is an emergency & unexpected , I’ll work with you . We put our time & care & money into what we do . This is not the only place that i promote my pet sitting business, but Rover is awesome ! Lots of experience & many references for months/weeks long stays . Can also offer grooming (special comfortable tub ) & training when needed . Our days are literally centered around the puppies we keep . They are our top priority- you will love the updates . I have my own animals that i have to take out and keep entertained myself . So taking care of dogs is part of my daily routine. Plus I’m home most the time so the dogs are a main focus. Gives me a lot of bonding time with my son as well . We really enjoy playing and spending time with them. Acres of land - not close to any roads what so ever . Perfect yard . Can free roam with supervision on the acres or play in the 6ft tall fence. Nice dog building with great heating And air . But can also have them In the house . Welcome to check both spaces out . Same exact set up. They will be let out often. And can keep dogs separated when they do not get along with other animals- i do not believe in putting multiple dogs in a playroom loose not knowing their personalities well yet - very small groups with regulars is completely ok but most pups need proper introductions before throwing them in a space with other unknown pets & an unknown new human watching- it can be very unpredictable even if your pup is super social . I keep supplies such as dog shampoo , dog treats, toys and other things that may be needed. They get lots of love and cuddles here. 6ft tall fence for the big babies . Space to run inside the home if weather is ugly.

“Whitney took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She treated them like they were her own and gave us so much peace of mind, especially with leaving our puppy for the first time! Will absolutely be rebooking Whitney for future stays!”

“Brooke was fantastic to have as a sitter! I have a rescue pup who is a bit high needs (just really super shy/anxious), Brooke kepted me informed the entire stay on how things were going, progress, and asked questions. I knew my Hazel was in great hands for the weekend.”

“Rachael was great! She loved my boys and made sure they were able to stay comfortable in their own home instead of boarding! I love being able to get away for weekends and not have to worry or stress about if my boys are stressed. Rachael sent pics and videos to keep us updated!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood. Now as an adult I have fostered and adopted. I have two of my own in my home with my husband and two boys. We live right by a park and love to go run and play. The dogs love to run and wrestle but also love their chill time. I also have a fenced in small backyard for them as well. I love dogs AND cats. I had a cat but left her with my mom in NY where she is MUCH happier for a more relaxed lifestyle during here 13th year of age. ❤️ I have a huge heart for all things and I was told I should sign up for Rover and not just use it lol. Aside from doing sports with my kids we are around the house for the most part. Our pups are a permanent fixture in our lives. I have a fenced in yard, and I own my home. I try not to let “puppies” on our carpeted 2nd floor bc it’s a new carpet and if their is an accident it would be unfortunate. But accidents happen and I’m understanding to that. . My 14 month old pup doesn’t go up normally but sometimes he comes up for story time with the kids, it’s so sweet. I can also pop into your home and watch your pet. That’s fine too. It all depends on the family and what’s the best fit for all.

“Jessalyn was a big help in watching my pats last minute. She was professional and attentive. All of my pets loved her and cuddled up to her like they’ve known her for years! I would recommend booking her if you’re looking for somebody you can trust!”

About: Since I was a child I've taken care of dogs, my whole family loves animals and know how to treat dogs and how they behave. I'm currently working part time, and usually get off work at 2pm, after that I'm free. I do have a social life and occasionally will be out and about but I can always make time for your dogs! I have a 3 acre fenced yard, cages for my dogs, leashes, harnesses, and medicine.I NEVER hit animals and always treat them with the respect they deserve.
“We had an unexpected need for a pet sitter for house sitting at the last minute over the holidays. Mae made an effort to be flexible to accommodate our travel schedule and she put us at ease right away with her attention to the details and her comfort with our 2 dogs and our cat. Mae's communication was excellent throughout the visit (she also took some great pictures). She left our house clean and all the pets were relaxed and peaceful when we arrived home. With senior pets and a recent rescue, we had some special needs and Mae handled it all well. We hope to have Mae pet sit with us again!”

“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”

“Shelby was so nice to come in and help out. She sent updates as well as pictures. She was patient with my cat's anxiety, and also took my dog out for walkies when she didn't have to. I appreciate everything she did and definitely recommend her.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took excellent care of our dogs and cat, kept us updated while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her with our home and pets again. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barbecue on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,075 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barbecue. 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 Barbecue 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 Barbecue 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 Barbecue 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
