“Katavah is always such great help with our pup. She was so so kind and when I realized I booked for the wrong dates, she moved around her personal schedule to help me watch suz an extra night. She went above and beyond and so appreciative!”
“Santiago took such great care of our dogs over the weekend! He sent us tons of picture updates, gave them lots of playtime, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend him!”
“Dylan was so cute with my three dogs! They all have separation anxiety and don’t do super well when I leave. She made me feel really good about being away from them. Lots of communication and pictures and she did an incredible job making them feel comfortable and loved. My house was very clean when I got home and I didn’t even ask her to do that. I highly recommend her!”

“Irma was an amazing house sitter. She made the home look exactly like how we left it and maybe even cleaner! The dogs loved her and she followed the directions. She was attentive to our dogs needs and communicated frequently. Thanks Irma!”
“We had Rikku care for our pets, Babaloo and Pye Pye, from December 26th to January 3rd, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they received! Babaloo, our diabetic dog, requires insulin injections, and Rikku followed our instructions meticulously, giving us peace of mind during our time away. Rikku was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Both pets seemed happy and well-cared-for upon our return. It’s such a relief to know we can trust someone with the health and happiness of our furry family members. We highly recommend Rikku and will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you, Rikku, for your exceptional care!”
About: I have had a passion for animal care and providing companionship with them since I was a very small child. I have been doing this for 20 years now and there's nothing that I would rather do than spend time with cats and dogs. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to be with your pets. I am single with no children and a huge passion to be with animals. I have a three story town home and I'm surrounded by nature trails and all sorts of paths. I have a dog park right behind me and surrounded by nature trails that the Pet's absolutely love. Also very close to Valmont Dog Park!
“Fantastic and flexible dog walker, and overall pet sitter. Nika is easy to talk to and communicate with. Our pets loved her. She went above and beyond to take our dog to Marymoor Dog Park, one of his favorites for some fun. Also flexible - when our return flight was delayed a day, she was willing to pick up an extra day.”
About: I provide personalized care including walks, feeding, medication administration, litter box care, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and support, confident with energetic puppies learning routines, and attentive to cats who thrive on calm, respectful care. Your pets stay comfortable at home while you’re away, and you receive consistent updates for peace of mind. I’m dedicating all my time to helping pet parents like you get the care they need for their pets when they can’t be there I can come to your house and give your pet the attention they need… whether it’s walks, playtime, litter box care, administer meds or just be there for cuddles!
“We are SO happy we booked with Katie. She was responsive, sent loadddss of pictures, and our dogs LOVED her. Also, our house was in the same condition we left it in. We will definitely be asking Katie to house and dog sit for us again.”
About: I care for each pet like it’s my own, and help correct behavioral issues with kindness and compassion. Dogs are social creatures, and having my own pet during the care of yours helps with blind spots that we may have as pet parents. I guarantee your dog will want to come back. I do consulting work, so I set my own schedule and hours. I prefer spending time with the dogs than finance (my profession) and will always make time for my favorite pets! I have my own dog, Alfie, so your pet will always have a big brother to guide them through the neighborhood on walks and in the dog park. I give dogs as much independence as possible, to help ensure your dog will have freedom to run and expend energy. Follow Ami’s Petsitting Club on instagram to see our daily activities! I post pictures daily while your pet is staying with me.
“Last year Sweet Pea had to stay a week at the dog kennel which left her a nervous wreck. What a difference this year! After over 2 weeks with McKenna, but in her familiar surrounding and routine, she behaved totally normal. As is typical for cats, Smidgen kitty was a little shy for a few days, but then warmed up to McKenna for play and petting. McKenna kept our house and yard in good shape as well. When problems arose with the animals or our old house, McKenna contacted me how I wanted her to handle it, then did it without hesitation. When my wife was longing to see Sweet Pea, McKenna even drove our dog to/from the rehab facility a couple of times. McKenna is very compassionate with animals and humans alike. I would definitely hire her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bark Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,669 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bark Ranch. 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 Bark Ranch 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 Bark Ranch 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 Bark Ranch 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.
