“Shelby was wonderful with my 5 year old female mix. She showed up early and stayed an extra night as my flight was delayed. She sent photos regularly and any time she had questions she reached out. I highly encourage you to use her!”
About: I've owned/been around dogs since I was a little kid, I've watched dogs for friends and have always been entrusted with their animals. I am prompt and on time, great with walks, potty breaks, and feedings when needed or requested I am free most of the time because of how my work schedule is and can be available on short notice to take care of your pets needs, whether that's just letting them out to go potty, feed and water them and take them on walks. I just hangout with them. I play games with them, do their nails, brush teeth if that's what's needed, go for short or long walks to the river or park and treat them as if they are my own baby.
“Donna came to our house to watch our sixteen year old timer doggo, she's a terrific communicator, extremely friendly and trustworthy, and she took wonderful care of him. Highly recommend her, we will definitely be calling her again for future sitting. Reliable and caring.”
“Great communication and easy to work through details of the stay. Ron is a super kind person who will take great care of your pets! Don’t hesitate to book him to hang out with your pups!”
“Megan stayed at our house and watched our dog and two cats for 16 days. She did an amazing job! not only were our fur babies well taken care of and loved but she also did a wonderful job of watching over the house, bringing in mail and packages and watering plants. I would highly recommend Megan!”
“Bridgette is Amazing!!! She is so kind and wonderful to all of our goobers, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone was happy and healthy when we got home and house was immaculate.. I can’t say enough nice things about Bridgette and will 100% be asking her to care for our lil guys whenever we head out of town.”
“Serenity is a wonderful communicator who made us feel at ease, house sitting and taking care of our furry ones! She was very kind and even took time and energy to leave the house better than she found it! I hope to have many more bookings with Serenity in the future!”
“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
“Brandy was amazing!! She was able to help us in a pinch, and was so easy to work with and very communicative. Nala is a nervous gal, but Brandy was so quick to make her feel at ease. We will definitely be booking Brandy again! ❤️”
“Trisha was a great dog and house sitter. Our two young dogs were happy to see us come home but it was clear that they had been well taken care of. They ate well, which shows that they weren't stressed about our absence. They had obviously had a lot of attention. I recommend Trish wholeheartedly for anyone else. Karen”
“I was a little anxious about leaving our mini zoo (2 dogs and 3 cats) with someone while we were out of town for a few days—but turns out I didn’t need to worry at all. Jacob was awesome. He kept us in the loop every day with updates and pics of the crew. When we got back, the animals were totally chill and happy, just like usual. And as a super thoughtful bonus, Jacob even tossed the guest bed sheets in the wash before he left. Such a nice touch. Would highly recommend.”
“Jordan watched our fur babies in our home for 11 days. She did an amazing job. The babies were well taken care of as was our home. She returned the home to ready status by doing the bed laundry and leaving no trace. But, the most important was the care and love our wee ones received. I can tell they took to her and were comfortable and at peace while we were away. Knowing that brought great comfort. Thank you Jordan. We really appreciate you.”
“Lauren was very thorough with her meet and greet questions to cover all needs. She sent us updates and pictures of our two dogs. We are always happy to find a local person for dog sitting and would hire her again.”
“Madison took excellent care of my dogs and my home. My elderly dog loved her so much, he almost wanted to go home with her when she left. She walked, fed, and loved them well so that I had no worries while gone, and happy dogs upon my return.”
“Paris was an excellent sitter for my puppy, Truffle! She showed genuine care by engaging Truffle with all her favorite toys and maintaining her regular schedule perfectly. What made the experience special was seeing how much Truffle enjoyed her time with Paris, and coming home to a clean and tidy house was an added bonus. I would definitely book with Paris again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat Fish! It's clear she has lots of love and patience for cats. She was able to get Fish to warm up to her after a couples days and even got some snuggles towards the end of the sit, which says of a lot since Fish is pretty shy with new people. I came home to a very happy kitty and clean home. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again the next time I need pet care.”
“We like Matthew and were very pleased with the care he provided for our 2 dogs and our home while we were traveling out of the country for 3 weeks. Our dogs love him and he was always very understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors & preferences. He provided updates with photos throughout our time away and was very responsive to our messages as we checked in on our dogs, despite the 8 hour time difference between Washington State and the United Kingdom. We would gladly trust him with our dogs & our home again in the future!”
About: I have been pet sitting since 2009, have taken care of animals from horses to hermit crabs, Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I grew up on a farm, was in 4-H and FFA throughout grade school and showed my animals at all the local fairs around Washington. I have given medications, special diets and stretch routines for the animals I care for. Animals are my passion and I enjoy my job very much and treat your pets just like my own. I travel for work currently but on my available days I will be with your pet full time. Always happy to work with you and your schedule and give your pet what he/she needs. Hope to hear from you soon! On my available days your pet will have my full and undivided attention. Otherwise I am traveling for work. Always happy to work with a clients schedule when possible. I always make sure the pet is taken care of and treated like my own. Make sure to ask client if there are any special needs as each animal is unique.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Barco 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 Barco 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Barco 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
