“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.”
“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’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years and truly love working with animals. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including small dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for about a week at a time, helping with feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and will care for your pets like they’re my own. I am currently working part time. Usually my schedule is Monday-Thursday from 3pm-8pm. I am able to stay overnight on weekends (will be notified if I get scheduled by work instead). I have free time to come check on dogs every few hours and give them lots of love and attention. Also depending on my schedule I can work during the week. I’m a college student but I’m on summer break so no need to worry about my school schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment so your furry friend can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“Anabel has been amazing looking after our dog Harvey for the past few months - petsitting him while we where away and genuinely caring for him in every way possible. We can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Alisa was great! She is great at communicating, did everything I asked, and my dog loves her! Would definitely want to have her as a sitter again! She took great care of my house and my pets!”
“Anne is such an amazing sitter! She really got to know each of our pets and their needs and took care of them so well we weren’t at all worried about them during our travels. She was kind and courteous within our home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Alyson was fantastic. We have three dogs, two of which are older and she took amazing care of them. She administered medicine, gave us constant status updates and took care of our pets and home as it if was hers. She will definitely be our sitter moving forward and can't say enough good things about her.”
“Lucy did an excellent job better than I could've hoped for. I was in terrible shape anxious because I had to leave my best for a friend family member to be with a family member that has stage four pancreatic cancer so it's just been a lot it was a big ordeal and, Lucy did an outstanding job. I'm so grateful. Thanks and gratitude them in tears practically so relieved home and all is well...,thank you bless you.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Deanna did an amazing job with our pups! I would highly recommend her if you need someone to stay overnight. Her warm demeanor, trustworthiness, and love for our pups was much appreciated.”
“Lauren is wonderful! She is professional, friendly, and takes excellent care of our fur baby. While I hate to leave my cat for extended periods, it’s a great comfort knowing that she’s the one taking care of him. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs since I was young. I have always loved being around dogs(and cats!), I definitely bond better with animals than humans. I love my mini Australian shepherd, Ollie, with my whole entire heart, and I would love your pets as well💕 I work part time, so I am available pretty much always! The days I work, it is from 5:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. so I would have the rest of the day to hang with your animals! Now that summer is here and school is over, my availability is even more open. I am able to follow any expectations or requests left concerning your pets! I will not be boarding other’s pets in my own home however, I am only available for home stay in overnight situations.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barber
Sariah is awesome and she made the process very smooth. It was my first time using Rover and she worked with me to iron out details. She was very patient, kind, and obviously content to take care of my old weiner dog. Overall it was an easy and worry -free experience.
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!
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!!!!
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.
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!
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.
Jocelyn is amazing - warm, kind, and very intuitive to a pets needs. She did a great job taking care of my high maintenance senior dog and sent me regular updates regarding his care (likely knowing I have bad separation anxiety from him)! I'm very grateful to have found her. 💜
Hannah spent 11 days at our home with our 2 dogs and did a great job giving them the love they needed and took good care of our home as well. The dogs were happy, the house was clean and she communicated with me whenever I reached out and sent cute pics too. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again in the future.
Gisele was great so responsive and so helpful. We booked pretty last minute on Thanksgiving weekend she was so quick to respond. She also came over beforehand just to introduce herself to our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on our quirky dog. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend her for anyone looking for an amazing animal sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Barber
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barber on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 259 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.

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.
