“Avery is a treasure—so considerate of our home, with all of the quirks, and our giant breed dog, with all of his special needs, medication, feeding, and helping him feel safe and secure while we’re gone. We hope to continue regular drop ins and house sitting in the new year. Thank you, Avery!”
“Olivia's care for our house and pets warmed my heart. She's a remarkable and caring person and my dog and two cats were happy and healthy. The dog kept going to the window after Olivia drove away. She went the extra mile without my even asking. She communicated politely, promptly and clearly. I couldn't recommend her any more highly.”
“Sequoyah is a very thoughtful and caring person. She took great care of our dog and our home while we were away, and sent frequent updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Harper was in great hands!”
“Aly is the BEST!!!!! I have all rescue pets, which means they can be challenging at times. We have 3 large dogs, 4 cats, 2 horses and 6 chickens. Their ages range from 1 year old minions (kittens) to seniors. We also live outin the country which can be a challenge and of course our new well pump had an issue. Aly handled it better than I!😆 The best compliment I can give is that when we came home, all the kids were excited to see us, but all were acting normal and happy, not like the usual "you abandoned us" attitude. Bonus, Aly even washed her own sheets (not something I would have asked her to do or expected). Again, she's the BEST!!!!”

Since then, I have dog and cat sat for many families! 🩷✨🐶 I am free every day of the week, and can fit pretty much anyone into my routine! Dogsitting and walking is what keeps me busy! In my home, we have a dog door that can be shut whenever. We also have a yard with fencing that keeps the animals safe
“Emiko took excellent care of Yolo, my 3 year old border collie, at my house for 2 weeks while I was out of the country. This was my first time getting a sitter and I was a bit worried about how it’ll go, but Emiko and Trask came and visited Yolo twice before the booking was scheduled to get to know him better. They provided him plenty of exercise and play time, made sure to keep on his strict diet (since Yolo has a sensitive stomach). They shared daily updates and photos. Yolo had a great time with them.”

“Ashley took care of our beloved Murphy expertly. She always provided pictures and updates to us. She was also available wherever we needed to talk on the phone. While she house sat and took care of our cat, she also watered all our plants and our home was spotless after our week-long vacation. We would highly recommend Ashley to care for any of your fur babies and home.”

Ashely is fantastic! She sent pictures of all my pets to let me know how they were doing and I came home to a settled house with happy kitties and horses. I’ve had many pet sitters and she’s top of the top! Choose her today and set your mind at ease you home and pets are in fabulous hands.
Autumn was great! Our dog Peeti was so comfortable with her, she gave him plenty of walks and sent us lots of picture updates. she was very respectful of our home and we would love to hire her again the next time we go out of town. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend her!
Grace was awesome! This was my first time leaving Jax in the house alone for the weekend. I left her a books worth of instructions because I was nervous and she did great! She was prompt, communicated well, and very caring with Jax. He was immediately comfortable with her which put my mind at ease.
Lily was AWESOME! She watched our two dogs multiple times while we had a few back to back trips over the summer. Communication was perfect. She sent daily updates and responded quick! I lowkey want to gate keep her cause she’s so awesome but she also deserves to be recognized. We had a flight delay and she was flexible on extending her services so our dogs would be okay until we made it home. Leaving dogs can definitely be stressful but she really helped keep our minds at ease. We have an older girl too and Lily was great at getting her the supplements she needed each day. Will definitely book again!
I highly recommend Sariah to take care of your pet(s) and house. Sariah did a wonderful job taking care of our senior pug, including giving her eye drops, feeding her multiple times in the day per her dietary requirements, and letting her outside to do her business when needed. Sariah stayed at our house and kept our dog company while we were out. Sariah also fed and changed the water daily for our pet tortoise. Sariah sent us photos of our dog with brief reports on how everything was going. We really appreciated the ongoing communication from Sariah. Sariah also watered our vegetable garden, brought in packages that were delivered to us, and kept our home in excellent condition. We look forward to being repeat customers.
there’s not enough positive things I can say about this amazing girl! Not only with my home more clean than when I left, my dogs were more clean. Her communication was amazing, she checked in and asked for things when she needed them. She’s amazing. Hire her if you want to feel safe with your home and your pets in someone’s hands. Thank you so much for everything.
Susan is a wonderful house and dog sitter! She spent quality time with our little dog and kept the house super neat and tidy. She is responsible, professional, and pays attention to details. We will definitely continue to use her services when we go out of town!
Sheryl was absolutely wonderful! We have booked with Rover for around 15 years and she has been the best so far. Sheryl was very communicative during our 6 week absence and shared lots of pictures of Shiloh and let us know how things were going. We never worried once! The biggest "tell" that showed how great she was with Shiloh was that, of course, Shiloh was very excited to see us, but also very calm. No trauma at all for being gone 6 weeks. Sheryl was also kind enough to fill my outside bird feeders and offered to water or do anything else needed. Oh, and all my houseplants survived and thrived! We will definitely ask Sheryl again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barber on Rover is $43.29 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 253 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barber. 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 Barber 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 Barber 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 Barber 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barber. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 82% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
