“Brooke is really great with dogs! Boone seems to really like her. She sent us pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when we had a question. She’s flexible with your schedule and needs and does a lot to accommodate your pups needs. She slept with our pup each night.”
“Aja is absolutely fantastic. Can’t say enough about how attentive, communicative, clean while staying in our home, and great with the dogs she is. As long as she is around and available we will continue to use her services.”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job house sitting and looking after our 3 animals while we were away for a week!! She provided daily updates and the best photos of all the pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We’re very happy with the care Thor received! Jeremy did a great job looking after him—very attentive, responsible, and caring. He was also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated throughout his time with him. Thor seemed happy and well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Evie is such a wonderful dog sitter! From daily updates of how our dog was doing and reaching out when our house lost power, she is so attentive, reliable, and incredibly sweet. We’re so grateful for her watching our dog and our house, and can’t wait to rebook her again soon!!”
“Could not have asked for anything more. So attentive and communicative. Above and beyond in every possible way. Thanks for all the pictures and updates. Thanks for the daily walks. Thanks for the love you gave to Toby and Freya. Left my house clean and tidy. Highly recommend!!!”
“Thanks to Meaghan, I was completely comfortable leaving my cat and my house in her care while away. She's a very calming presence and quickly made friends with my cat, as well as giving her medicine and watering my plants. She had a family emergency that meant leaving for the weekend but let me know promptly so I could make other arrangements while she was away. I will definitely hire her again.”

“Our dog loves Amanda because she spoils him. :) We love her because she spoils him too! Always shares lots of photos and makes us feel at ease knowing she is in charge.”
“Vanessa!!! She is a gift straight forward heaven. I was sooo worried to never be able to enjoy going on vacations for fear of having to board my baby boy Kevin, and trust who knows who with my grandma Chelsea cat. Vanessa has taken all fears away and we have gained a person like family! She is truly the most caring and loving person. She treats my babies like her own!! She treats my home like her own! She is soooo thoughtful! My babies absolutely love when she comes over…especially Kevin!! I can’t imagine what I would do without her. I am sorry if you want to boom her because hopefully you get to before I do!! lol. We LOVE you, Vanessa and Lola!!”
“Maria was so wonderful to work with! We were located a little further away from her than we first expected, but she was able to make it work on short notice. And the doggos loved her of course :)”
“I am a bit OCD about my boy, who also happens to be a big baby who can't eat, poo or pee if left at boarding. Anthony was great. He provided me with pics and updates and proved to be a great sitter for my pup. Thanks!”
“Second time using David and he was just as incredible as the first time! My A/C went out in a storm the day before David was set to house sit with my dogs for a few days so I reached out to give him a heads up and let me know if he would like to cancel. David assured me he would still be happy to watch my house and dogs, regardless of the fact it would be 90 some degrees with no A/C. He made us feel so at ease while we were out of town and kept us updated so well on how he and the dogs were handling the heat. He was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the whole stay. I received updates and the cutest pictures throughout the stay and it always looked like my dogs were very happy. So thankful for David and impressed as always. Can’t recommend him enough!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and always find myself drawn to them. As a young woman searching for my purpose, I want to spend my time doing what fulfills me. I have been pet sitting for my friend who has a dog aggressive dog, and enjoy spending the quality time with her. I will always give exceptional care and focus on forming lasting friendships with the animals in my care. Friendships that last longer than a meet and greet or drop-in visit. I am always looking out for the pet and putting their needs first. I pay attention to animal behavior and never push past their limit, to ensure a good relationship is being built. My primary goal is to make sure the client and pet are comfortable. I currently am not in school or employed as I recently moved to the area. I have lots of time on my hands to spend with your baby. I will always put the pet's needs first, and ensure I keep their schedule the same as my client does for them. I care for the animal and the home and keep it just as I found it.
“Faith was pro-active during our initial meeting. She asked about medication administration, update frequency, and feeding. During her stay she helped with bringing in our Amazon order. Updates included our teenage cat warming up to someone new and making sure our dogs new antibiotic was taken. Would book again without hesitation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Barclaysville is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barclaysville
When we were away one of our dog’s took a turn and had to be put down while we were away, unexpectedly. He was so sick we couldn’t get back to be there in person. Carol was wonderful, putting us on FaceTime and staying with our Tucker. She was then so caring of our other dog until we could get home the next day. We highly recommended her!
Carol did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away for a week. She left our house tidy, and took excellent care of our dog while navigating winter storms on our travel days. While I had so much anxiety being gone during the storms (and potentially being stuck and unable to return home) Carol kept my mind at ease and I knew my dog was in great hands. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone and will absolutely rebook for future needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Barclaysville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barclaysville on Rover is $77.7 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 2,343 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barclaysville. 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 Barclaysville 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 Barclaysville 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 Barclaysville 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.
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.
