“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve shared life with a collie, two Dobermans, a boxer, and a pair of West Highland White Terriers, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention — just like one of my own! I own my own cleaning business and manage an Airbnb, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day and can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, morning potty break, or evening cuddles, I can usually make it work. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities and keeping things organized, so you can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s routine. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they have fresh food and water, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away — and to give you total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Emily is as a dog sitter! She took such great care of our babies while we were away for a seven-day trip, and I didn’t have to worry for a single moment. Her communication is outstanding—I love the pictures and updates she sends. They always reassure me that our dogs are well taken care of and happy. It warms my heart to see our pups literally smiling in her photos! She’s truly wonderful, and we’re so grateful for her care and dedication.”
“Breanna was the most professional and helpful River ever! Even though she was tasked with checking in on my cats, she still went above and beyond to help me while I was out of the state. Thank you so much!”
“Awesome sitter, on time and took the time to spend quality time with my furry baby. I work all day and the hour she spends with him is awesome. Walked him, played, watered and fed…. Great Job!!!”
“I believe this is the 3rd time using Bonnie.... but as always my pets were taken care of. Apparently my cat is warming up to her very well because he gets the zoomies and was playing with her. Lol! She just does exactly what is needed and gives them a lot of attention.”
“Ella is an absolute angel & such a help. She took care of the kitties like they were her own and I am so so grateful. She went out of her way to make sure they had enough food and love every time she stopped by. I definitely recommend her, such a great gal!”
About: Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, the owner of All Paws & Pastures, your new go-to for all things pet and farm care.🐾 Need a hand with your animals? I'm here for you! I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, from always having my own dogs/cats from the ripe age of 3, to fostering/volunteering since 2010 to working in the field since moving to the area early last year. My services are flexible and comprehensive, including but not limited to: *Dog Walking & Pet Sitting (any time you're away)😺🐕 *Farm Hand Services (from milking cows to mucking stalls & collecting eggs)🐮🐎 *All-around Animal Care (for any need in between!) I am a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable caregiver with great references. Please send me a message to discuss your specific needs. I can't wait to meet your animals & treat them like my own Pet care IS my routine. I am a self-employed single mom and am able to be attentive to animals in my care. Other business ventures take a back seat when I have a pet booked so your babies will have all of my attention! Determining the needs of each client is unique to them; however, I treat each pet as if it were my own. At my home- I have a fenced yard, extra crates if needed, a runner line if needed and doggy gates inside for separated free roaming if needed. At clients home- I am there to keep the pets as much in their routine as possible. I come armed with treats, scratches & an understanding that some are shy a little longer than others. Check-ins on arrivals can be easily provided as well as many pictures!
About: Personal experience taking care of dogs for over 10 years. Including walking, feeding, and bathing family and neighbors’ pets. Managed care of newborn puppies as well as sick, special needs dogs. Took care feeding and administering medicine as well as caring for older dogs. I’m currently a student at LSU with a relaxed schedule so I can take care of your pets in my home for boarding or drop-ins! Afternoons work best for me for dog-walking. I live in an apartment with enough space for your pets to rest and relax. My apartment complex is big and walkable with a dog park to entertain your pets.
“Hannah did a great job. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She posted photos of our cats and sent them to us each day. She even brought the mail in. We will use her again!”
“Jurnee did an amazing job checking in on our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She was extremely accommodating and understanding of our wild pups that are full of personality. She didn’t skip a beat and went above and beyond! Will definitely utilize her services again!”
About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
“Madeline was the BEST!!! She took thorough notes of all our fur-baby needs and was an excellent communicator while we were away. It's clear she LOVES animals; we were able to vacation in peace because we knew she was giving our pets the care and love they need :) Thank you Madeline!!”
“Hatch and I love Anna! She is responsive, responsible and flexible. She goes above and beyond to love on my boy and give him the attention he needs while I’m at work. He always has a smile on his face in the pics she sends from her visits and that’s the best I can ask for. Highly recommend!”
“Brianna took excellent care of our 18 year old cat and 27 year old Quaker Parrot while we were away on a 3 week trip. The peace of mind her daily check ins with pictures gave me was priceless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend you do as well.”
About: I am a stay at home mom with two children. We have always been a dog family. We have a great home and time to help love on your babies too! We have a fenced in yard and lots of time to go on walks. I have a 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter. We just ask that any animal that joins our home to be able to be around children.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barling
We left our fur babies with Emily over the holiday week/weekend, and as always, she was absolutely amazing! ❤️ Our dogs adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She goes above and beyond every single time, keeps us updated with great communication, and truly treats them like they’re her own. Knowing they’re in her care means we never have to worry or deal with that awful separation anxiety while we’re away. Emily is such a kind, caring, and wonderful person, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets, she’s the one!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Barling on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barling. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Barling stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
