“We are so grateful for Emiko and Trask! One of our pups takes a long time to warm up to new folks, and Emiko left us regular updates and worked slowly with her to build trust. Our home and our pets were so well taken care of. I hope we can book them again soon!”
About: I have cared for dogs for several years. I’ve also owned a dog myself (terrier mix) and understand how important pets are and how important their care is. I will not only talk your dog on walks but also play with them for HOURS! I’m a collage student and 100% available on Fridays-Sundays and possibly Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights so please feel free to reach out and ask! I care for every pet with patience, attention, and lots of love. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!
“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!!!!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for my own pets as well as helping with pets belonging to family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m primarily available evenings and weekends, with additional availability depending on the day. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime. I’ll also respect your home, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care.
“Jaqueline was great with the animals. She was communicative with me before booking which helped with my comfort in leaving the animals with her. When I came home animals were excited to see me like they had a safe and cared for weekend. I hope to use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Natalie is awesome!!! She has a great personality, she has great attention to detail regarding all of our requests. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet, she had great patience and was so gentle with our senior dog. Natalie sent us pictures and updates, per my request, and was very responsive. I would highly recommend her!”
“Lauren did a great job caring for our animals while we were gone on a last minute trip! She sent updates and was very communicative and friendly and left our house in great condition!”
About: I’ve taken care of all ranges of pets, including cats, dogs, fish and even horses. I have done in home care, house sitting, and drop in visits. I’m currently working part-time, so I have the flexibility and availability needed to care for your pets! I truly love animals and getting to spend time with them brings me so much joy! I am able to provide care at clients homes, including feeding pets and providing them with companionship. I can also maintain homes during house sitting visits, bringing in mail, putting out garbage cans and watering plants if need be.
About: I have taken care of dogs for up to 3 weeks at a time. I only board one dog at time to ensure they get my full attention. I am a student at Chico State with a flexible class schedule and my weekends are free! On the weekdays I won't be busy for more than 3 hours. I live in an apartment with a designated area for dogs to do their business. I am in a neighborhood with minimal car traffic to ensure safe walks!
“We appreciate that Mariah was able to take care of our pets at our home. When we returned home, everything was neat and tidy which we are really appreciated. She has a passion for animals, which is very evident upon first meeting her— she immediately bent down to pet the dog and the cat upon entering the house! Mariah is also very respectful and communicates well. And we appreciated daily pictures of our fur babies!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my two pups received! She was incredibly responsive from the start and sent me daily photo updates, which really helped ease my mind. One of them can be a little high-maintenance, and she handled everything like a pro. I came home to two content pups and a clean home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and communicative dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: 1. Animal Science student pursuing veterinary school with hands on experience caring for dogs, cats and livestock 2. Future veterinarian providing knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet 3. Experienced animal care giver with a strong background in animal health, behavior, and handling 4. Your pet receives attentive, personalized care from someone passionate about animal health and welfare 5. Trusted care backed by years of animal experience and veterinary education Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I care for my cat every day by feeding him, cleaning his litter box, playing with him, and making sure he gets plenty of attention and enrichment. I also grew up caring for a variety of animals on my family’s ranch, so tending to animals has always been a normal part of my life. My part-time work schedule gives me flexibility to check on pets before and after work, and I am committed to following each pet’s routine as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is important for animals, and I make it a priority to ensure they receive the care, exercise, companionship, and attention they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and daily interaction based on their personality and comfort level. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being and communicate updates with owners so they can have peace of mind. In addition to caring for the pets, I respect and care for the client’s home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as they left it.

She took the time to come by for a meet and greet, she had great patience and was so gentle with our senior dog. Natalie sent us pictures and updates, per my request, and was very responsive. I would highly recommend her!
Avery was the perfect sitter for our three cairn terriers. We have a 14 year old who gets grouchy with the other two. And we had just gotten a 7 month old puppy to play with our three year old. What a challenge! Her calm demeanor was just what they needed. She took excellent care of our pack. We highly recommend Avery!
Campbell was a great overnight petsitter for our two cats over a long weekend. She had great communication and sent updates and pictures each day. Our cats were well-cared for and got lots of cuddles and play time while we were away. She also cared for our plants and left our place clean & tidy. We really appreciated having her watch our pets & home and would definitely recommend her to others for pet and/our house sitting!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Barber is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
