“Darcie is an amazing dog sitter, our Millie loves her! She also took great care of our house and sent us pics of Millie while we were on vacation. We will definitely work with her again!”
“We had a worry-free weekend away while Corban was with our pups! He took excellent care of them, as always, and was kind enough to get our mail, bring packages in, and bring the trash back from the curb. We always feel lucky when we’re able to book with Corban. We highly recommend him to everyone!”
“This was our first time having someone stay in our house so it was a bit awkward in the beginning BUT Lorissa was a great sitter for our 3 pups while we were away. When she was going to be later than expected she communicated with us. She was able to come 2 weekends in a row prior to us leaving to be sure the pups would know who she was…we plan on having Lorissa sit for us again in the near future! 🐶”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and dog sitting for a while now, and I want to help out anyone in need of a sitter within the community. I don’t currently have a job, so I can spend as much time with the pet as needed. I play travel softball some weekends, but besides that I’m fairly free I have one dog who is amazing! we have a big yard and a nice neighborhood to walk dogs around. If I plan to stay at your house I will make sure the pet gets whatever is needed
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and caring for them has always been more than just a job—it’s something I truly love. I’ve worked with countless animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. I’ve also worked as a dog bather at PetSmart, where I learned proper grooming techniques, handling skills, and how to recognize signs that a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to Rover, I also provide pet care through Wag!, so I’m experienced with daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or a senior needing a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love, kindness, and respect that I give my own animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect reliable communication, plenty of updates and photos, and the peace of mind that they’re in caring, experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work remote so I am always available! I love my home, and sharing it with others. I live in a beautiful neighborhood. I have a lot of free time at the moment. I make sure everything is followed correctly for what you and your pets needs require. I also am a very honest and kind person who won’t let you down! I prioritize safety and instruction.
“We cannot recommend Edna highly enough! She recently watched our two mini dachshunds, Tux and Moo, and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met her, we could tell how kind and caring she is, and she made us feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care. Edna kept our home spotless while we were away, and she consistently checked in with us to provide updates. She even sent us the sweetest pictures of Tux and Moo, which made us feel so connected and reassured. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved under her care. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them like family, Edna is the person for you. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Bethiah was fantastic! She took wonderful care of my boy and even taught him some new tricks! She kept me informed everyday on how he was doing and sent pictures throughout her stay. She also kept my home immaculate..even better than I felt I left it 😊 I highly recommend Bethiah and hope to use her again in the future!”
“Bree was great with the dogs and house sit! She even stopped by before the sit to get acquainted, which was really nice. We will definitely book her again in the future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Barbee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 191 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barbee. 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 Barbee 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 Barbee 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Barbee 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.
