“We are so grateful for Tania! She came through for us (on a holiday none the less) and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She was thoughtful and communicative and immediately put us at ease. Our dog loved her and even upon her departure he ran out to see if she was still here. We are so appreciative and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Bronte did a great job watching my two dogs over night. She left everything in order at the house and the dogs really liked her from the moment she came through the door. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Micki is one in a million! We were gone for 24 hours for a wedding out of town and she took beautiful care of our fur babies! We got pics and notes the whole time we were gone. She walked our doodle until he was exhausted which is perfect and our house looked better when we got back than when we left it! We absolutely love Micki and will book with her again! We trust her implicitly. ❤️”
“Wow. I feel so lucky to have found Laura! She is wonderful with my dogs. While I was away, she kept in constant contact with me and returned every text and phone call promptly, which really put my mind at ease. Laura is very friendly, kind, and caring, and I know my pets and my home are in good care when I am away.”
“We cannot recommend Mia highly enough! Entrusting someone with your home and your beloved pets is always a leap of faith, but from the moment Mia stepped in to care for Sazerac and Flora, all of our worries completely vanished. She is truly a phenomenal sitter who goes above and beyond in every possible way. First and foremost, Mia’s communication was absolutely stellar. While we were away on our vacation, she provided us with frequent, detailed updates and adorable photos. It gave us such incredible peace of mind knowing exactly how our dogs were doing, what they were up to, and seeing firsthand that they were so happy and well cared for. We never once had to wonder or worry; Mia kept us perfectly in the loop. Her timeliness and reliability were also impeccable. She stuck to our schedule perfectly, ensuring that both Sazerac and Flora maintained their usual routines without missing a beat. It is rare to find someone who pays such close attention to all the special details—from their specific feeding quirks to their favorite playtime activities, she handled everything with exceptional care and affection. To top it all off, we returned from our trip to an incredibly spotless home. Mia’s cleanliness and respect for our space were deeply appreciated. It felt like she left the house even better than we left it! If you are looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring person to watch your furry family members, Mia is the absolute best choice. Sazerac and Flora are already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
“Peter was very attentive to our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hijo. It was very clear that he made Hijo his priority and Hijo was so comfortable with him that Peter got to see some of his antics usually reserved for folks he knows well. We felt very confident Peter had everything under control while we stepped away. Jen”
About: Animal caretaker at horse ranches, farms, and house pets with a lifetime of experience. Horse mom and dog mom to a very sweet 9 yr old Rottie-Shepard named Leif. Self-employed, so I spend all my time with my own pup. He loves playing with other dogs, so we want to host some furry friends! We live on 1/2 acre with a deck for napping on and a nice yard full of sticks and tennis balls. Several big dog beds. Right next to walking trail. Potty breaks can be on leash, on tie out, or off leash with supervision depending on owner preference. Have medium and XL crates available for use, but bring what makes your dog comfortable. All good dogs with parent permission that are allowed car rides may get dog park trips, easy hikes, or beach days depending on our schedule and the weather. Puppies and senior dogs welcome. I understand complex feeding schedules and medication and am happy to stick to your routine. Photo and video updates daily. Your dog will be tired and happy when you get home! I’m a self-employed, part-time remote work from home weekday mornings and local gigging musician on weekends, gone for around to 3-4 hours. Wifi camera set up with access on my phone, with microphone and speaker. My yard is mostly fenced, except for the front of the driveway. I live on the back part of 1/2 acre that is fenced. Dogs will be supervised for potty breaks, on leash or off depending on owner preference and behavior. Can also supervise on tie out for potty-shy dogs. Play on the yard and between dogs is supervised with walks on bike trail and adventures to nearby parks when allowed.
“Fast forward to my husband and I getting home after Cecilia’s stay to let the dogs out of their crate….. (after greeting us, of course) they ran to the guest room to look for Cecilia!!”
About: I’ve had 8 years of experience caring for animals such as dogs, cats, sheep, goats, and even pigs! I’ve had experience walking and feeding all such animals. I work part time so I have a flexible work schedule, I’m use to dedicating time to caring for animals, I have lots of free time. I play with them, feed them, give them water, take them on walks, let them play outside as needed, give them attention, ensure their health.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as an on-call pharmacy technician, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also enrolled in school with online classes, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for and keeping your pets company! I have the flexibility to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I have one dog at home and we have a doggy door that gives him access to our back yard that is fenced and gated.
“Samantha was a wonderful cat and house sitter. The cats were in good shape when we returned home after a week away. Samantha took good care of the house as well. We would definitely as her to housesit for us again.”
“Grace took care of our 2 high maintenance dogs while we were visiting family over the holidays and they were in excellent hands. Communication and flexibility about timing and our pups’ needs was superb. We could not have been more relaxed knowing our furbabies were being lovingly cared for. Would definitely book with Grace again!”
“Lilith was an amazing pet sitter! She watched our dog and home while we were gone. She sent us little text each day with updates and photos and was just such a kind person. We would definitely recommend her and would work with her again!”
“Angelina is incredible!! She went above and beyond to connect with our dog Stella and shower her with love and activity while we were away. She took Stella on tons of walks and hikes, to the dog park, took amazing care of our home and garden (leaving it so clean for our return), and sent us tons of updates and photos of Stella which we appreciated so much. Angelina is super personable, trustworthy, conscientious, and Stella loved her which is always the best sign. We would ask Angelina to dogsit/housesit again in a heartbeat.”

This was our second time having Melissa watch our two dogs, we've been very pleased with the treatment and attention our animals receive when in her care. We hope that before long our dogs will love her as much as they love us. Will definitely re-book with Melissa in the future.
Micki came right away for the first interview. When it was time to pet it, she even arrived a bit early. Paid close attention to all instructions, and there were a lot. Texted photos while I was gone. When I arrived home, the house and pets were in good order and she even stripped the sheets and put them in the washer! Extra points for that.
Rithy was absolutely amazing! She cared for our dog, Ollie, during our wedding and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and able to be part of such a special day for us. She was so easy to communicate with, kind, attentive, and truly wonderful to have around. She handled every part of the day so smoothly, from helping with photos to making sure Ollie was settled and cared for afterward. Knowing he was in such thoughtful, capable hands let us fully enjoy our wedding day. You could tell how much she genuinely cared about Ollie. By the end of the day, she felt more like a close friend attending our wedding than someone we had just met. We will be using Rithy for all our house sitting going forward and I cannot recommend Rithy enough!
Holly is an amazingly caring, responsible, clean sitter. We have two large dogs and she made sure they were both well cared for. She even read to them just like we do at home. She came to our home and stayed for several days. We will definitely be having her back. If you are lucky enough to hire Holly she’s exactly who you want to watch your dog(s)!
Clair has always been a huge help with watching our dogs and taking care of our house! Lots of updates and the dogs really enjoy her. Her communication is great, our dogs always look like they’re having a good time in her photos, and we come home to a tidy house. I definitely recommend Clair for dog and house sitting.
Rachel was so wonderful in every way! She took the best care of our home and our fur baby, Huck while we were away for our wedding. She was super communicative and sent lots of wonderful photos. It was clear how much Huck loved her!! We can’t wait to work with Rachel again soon.

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 Barlow 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 Barlow 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 Barlow 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!

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 .

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.
