“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”
“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”
“When Kelly first came to meet our girls she was understanding and patient with our dogs. My oldest Zola tends to be overprotective of me when others are around, she shows it by barking constantly. Kelly was gentle and knew how to engage. During her day with our girls she sent us pictures and videos of my girls! She also communicated with us while we were away on how they were behaving and what they were up to! Thank you Kelly for caring for our girls!”
“Amy has the perfect temperament and disposition for this role. She came on time and was willing to stay for as long as we needed (we were flying home). Her calm and even-keeled demeanor was perfect for caring for our dog. Additionally, she is personable and great at maintaining communication with the owner. Would most definitely rebook with her. Recommend 10/10”
“Anthea is wonderful!! We appreciated her daily updates with photos. It was so nice having her in our home to keep our 16 year old girl on her schedule. Anthea paid extra attention to the details! Our 9 year old girl was clearly well cared for as well! This is the best way to feel comfortable while traveling and knowing our dogs are getting the level of care and attention they deserve. Anthea took great care of our home as well! Already looking forward to our next booking!”
“Shaelyn was amazing! Her communication was incredible, and our dog absolutely loved her. The regular photo updates were so appreciated and truly made the whole experience even better. We felt completely at ease and would 100% book with Shaelyn again.”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for each pet’s routine and comfort. With over five years of hands-on experience as a pet owner, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and provide consistent updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. I work full time in Lake Oswego, but I love spending time with pets in the evenings, on weekends, and during holidays. I make sure every drop-in is reliable, attentive, and tailored to your pet’s routine, so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I provide attentive, routine-based care for pets in their own home. I follow feeding schedules, bathroom routines, and any special instructions to keep pets comfortable and happy. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I always communicate with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for. I treat each pet as if they were my own, ensuring a calm and loving environment.
“Amy is wonderful! She took wonderful care of my Velcro pitbull, Obi. I came home to a clean house and happy pup! She also communicates well and gave me great updates during my trip. I would 100% recommend her and plan to book her again soon! Thank you, Amy!”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“Aislynn was so wonderful. This is our second setter through Rover and have had nothing but great experiences. It was great knowing Millie and Oliver was in safe hands during our day. I would for sure rebook with her again.”
“Makenna did an excellent job taking care of my Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who is a one person devoted dog (to me), and is therefore, heart-broken when I leave her. She gave her plenty of walks, and took her with when she would be gone longer periods of time so she would not be lonely! The house was just as I left it and she was very responsible. It was a pleasure to come home to zero issues. I would hire Mckenna again for Lucy for certain!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, old & young, large & small, quiet & not. I am currently living with my roommate & our two cats, and physically cannot fit any more guys in there. I would love to spend time with your pets to hold me over until I can add more friends to the mix over here! I am a recent graduate from Aveda Institute and am now a licensed cosmetologist! I am also, however, in between jobs, and have a newfound significance of free time. Fortunately for you, that makes me free 24/7! I am happy to respect all house rules and care for animals in a way that does not break their routine, and ensures tails stay wagging while you are away.
“Alex is the best! We needed help with our three cats with very little scheduling notice, and Alex stepped up to help. He took notes while I went over their routine, and I could tell he took caring for them very seriously. He even agreed to bringing in our mail and watering some plants. One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections twice daily, and she was also on an oral antibiotic. Alex updated us regularly about how the cats were doing, whether or not the diabetic cat was eating, and how feedings and medication administrations went. It really eased our anxieties with leaving our three cats with individual needs in the hands of someone so capable and trustworthy. Alex's professionalism and dedication to providing quality care for our cats and the house while we were gone allowed us to focus on what we needed to at that time. We will undoubtedly request his services for future cat care needs while we are away.”
“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. "I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”

Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!
Annie got our nervous boy to cuddle with her! She did such a wonderful job watching both our dog and our cat while we were out of state. Gave us peace of mind that our babies were safe with her for the week. Can’t recommend her enough, gave us updates and pictures throughout the week as well!
Lyla was great with our big fur baby and home for a week, while we were on a family vacation. She was very quick to respond any time we checked in, while also proactively sending updates and pictures. Lyla left our home very clean and undisturbed. I highly recommend Lyla to others!
Mareka was a great sitter for our three dogs while we were gone for the week! She was great at providing updates with photos and giving the dogs lots of cuddles while we were away. She also went above and beyond with helping us take our trash out on garbage day, and left the house nice and clean to come back to. Definitely would recommend booking with Mareka, and will again if we ever need another dog sitter!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Barberton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barberton on Rover is $58.85 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 4,426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barberton. 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 Barberton 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 Barberton 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 Barberton 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
