“Kathryn was wonderful with our little Sheltie. Very patient while our Sheltie warmed up to a new person. Over the 3-night stay, Kathryn sent multiple pictures and status reports, which we loved!”
“Trula watched our 2 small dogs for a full week & they were happy and well taken care of. One dog was started on a medication the day before we left, and Trula followed the written instructions without hesitation. We received daily updates & photos. Lily is often grumpy & growls at people, but we received photos with her sitting on Trula's lap, so Trula was able to overcome her moodiness. Trula was also flexible with her departing schedule as I told her the wrong time for our return flight. We appreciated her taking such good care of our dogs.”
“Myrna house sat and watched our dog and cat for 5 days while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures throughout our vacation of taking the dog out to the park, store, etc which made us feel more comfortable knowing he was well taken care of. She even got both of them toys and treats! We're very appreciative and will definitely use her again!”
“Lindsay did a great job watching our dogs! They were friendly and easy to communicate with. They followed instructions well and adapted to a pup that was very shy and stand off-ish.”
“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
About: Pets are my life. They have always held a special place in my heart I would love to help others with there animals if they needed the help I’m hoping that I can make this my part time job for now. This would be my first ever job, I don’t really do well working with people I have bad anxiety lol but animals are my specialty. I treat them as if they were my own and love them unconditionally. I do live in an apartment, we are looking to move soon. I have two dogs of my own I take them out in the morning when I wake up they usually only go pee and then after that I feed then play make sure that they are happy and taken care of then I go on and do my thing like take a shower blah blah blah then in the afternoon I take then for a poo and for a walk of course thennnn after that we go back home chill till dinner time feed them wait another hour then they take there night potty. That’s our routine Now I am very adjustable/flexible with what your animal need and what you would like for your animals
“Lindsay was amazing with the dogs! She sent tons of photos and was very communicative. She went way out of her way and even washed the dogs blankets when the puppy had an accident on them. I will definitely be rebooking! Thank you for watching the kids while I was gone!”
“Lucy was well taken care of and loves River. I think River went above and beyond with all the housekeeping and laundry. It is much appreciated 🥰 Already have River rebooked for next month. It’s great peace of mind being able to leave Lucy without worries. Thanks so much River!”
About: Have owned dogs and cats since I was young, but especially dogs. I've potty trained and dealt with rescue dogs. Am very used to big dogs (3 german sheperds) Recently left part time job so I can give even more time to your pets! Even when working I would check in with animals 4-5 times a day. I acknowledge that animals get lonely to. Am used to walking our dogs for long walks, and very very experienced in tug of war and fetch. Our dogs get a healthy mixture of human foods proven to be good for animals.
“Clovis did a great job caring for our animals and house sitting while we were out of town, even our bearded dragon. They are very respectful and responsible. We got lots of updates with pictures and videos. They were very patient with our dog as he took time to warm up to them. Our house was in order when we returned and our animals seemed to be healthy and happy.”
“Sydney was an awesome house sitter/petsitter. She spoiled all three animals and sent us timely updates and pictures. The house was left tidy. We will definitely be booking her for future sits!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Barlow is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barlow
I just recently connected with Kathryn for pet sitting services. She was super quick to respond for a meet and greet to go over my needs in the very near future. She did a great job for the first time! I am grateful for her and will use her again. I highly recommend! Thanks!
Kinsley watched my two dogs for a few days and was exceptional! I have a senior dog who takes medication and is pretty slow in everything.. (walking, eating) and she is combined with a lively 3-year old who does everything at hyper speed. Kinsley managed to find a rhythm that worked for both. She sent me regular updates and really cared for the dogs. I felt grateful she was with them while I was away. I definitely recommend her!
Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.
Our pups were happy to see Kathryn again, and we so appreciated her friendliness, care, and clear communication — including pup pics while we were away! She’s attentive to their individual needs and is always ready to hear what may have changed with their care since her last visit. We’ll definitely look to Kathryn to stay with the pups in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Barlow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barlow on Rover is $74.93 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barlow. 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 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.
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 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!
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.
