“Myrna did a great job with my nervous dog, Annie while I was gone for a few days. When I got home Annie was happy, the house was clean and everything was in order. I’m glad that Myrna was there to handle some other things that came up while I was gone. I am definitely using her again. Thank you Myrna!”
“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Kate was very flexible and accommodating with our dog who was on crate rest and needed some extra attention and help. She had excellent communication and left our home in great order. We will definitely use her again to watch our pets!”
“Amir took fantastic care of Rose our Boston Terrier. We received plenty of pictures of her on a daily basis. And even had to deal with Rose being sprayed by a skunk. Would definitely use Amir again.”
“Frank was amazing with the pups and I really appreciated their flexibility and competence. I had total peace of mind knowing that the pups were with such an experienced and responsible sitter. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Ian and Susan were just fabulous. Ian spent the most time at our home and sent daily reports and lots of pictures. Finley had recently had surgery so needed close supervision. He was so well taken care of! We liked that Ian introduced him to some new places and experiences. Ian took great care of our house as well and it was nice and clean when we returned. We highly recommend them as sitters and will happily rebook them when the opportunity arises. Finley was sad to see Ian go!”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“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.”
“We hired Erica to house sit and watch our 9 year old Doberman for half a week. Even with an unfortunate run-in with a skunk (not her fault, onviously), she kept us up to date and informed as to what was going and took care of the situation wonderfully. Her and her daughter left our house better than they found it and we'd be happy to have her help again.”
“Mackenzie was fantastic! She is very responsive, communicative and reliable. She sent a ton of photos and our pets received a lot of love : ) She was so nice to make sure the house was clean when we arrived back. We will have her back again.”
“Elaine is a very caring person. I have a very elderly dog who is not easy to feed. Elaine takes the extra time to help her eat. I highly recommend Elaine to take care of your pets.”
“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”
About: I love every pet I've ever met, from my childhood hamsters to my three silly cats - and I already know I love yours! I've had my own kitties for 6 years, and I've been taking care of others' cats, dogs, and small animals for even longer, from playful puppies to grumpy feline queens of the house. I can give most kinds of oral and topical medications comfortably if your pet needs any, and I have a decent amount of behavioral experience with anxious pets. I'm also no stranger to incontinence issues, and am more than happy to scrub any carpet. Bring on the enzyme cleaner! I'm in a transitional period right now, so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as needed to keep their regular routine. As the owner of more than one anxious cat, I know just how important it is to keep your pet's environment as close to normal as possible while you're gone. I'm more than happy to work with you to make your house as close to routine as possible, from feeding times, play styles, or even someone to pounce on at 3am!
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to calm seniors, as well as dogs with shy, anxious, and high-energy temperaments. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to build trust, follow their routine, and provide patient, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or plenty of cuddles, I’m committed to treating every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet. Because I have open availability, I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight stays throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy building my day around each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting your home and keeping it clean and secure. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Zach house sat while I was away and took very good care of my dogs. I got updates and pictures . Very respectful and thoughtful with his services. I highly recommend him for your dog care needs.”
“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”
“We had a great experience with Veyonce. She was flexible when we needed to reschedule our meet & greet, great with our dog, and asked good questions. She was also friendly, sent plenty of pictures, and left the place very clean at the end of her stay. We would definitely book with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barlow
Kate is hands down the best dog care giver you’ll ever find! She is kind, communicative, compassionate, and always takes wonderful care of our dog and our home. I 100% highly recommend Kate! Each time we have had her in our home, I never worry if our rambunctious dog is going to be loved and well taken care of-it’s such an amazing thing knowing I can enjoy being away from home without ever worrying about anything. Thank you Kate!!
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!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barlow. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
