“Melinda took great care of our two Boston terriers. She was very responsive and sent frequent updates, which we appreciate. Very respectful of out home too. Would definitely have her petsit again.”
“Like most people we treasure our precious dogs. Geoffrey was so responsible, so kind, so dog-sensitive, that we felt fine about leaving them with him for a whole day! I was not sure I could ever do that! If we ever need a sitter again, Geoffrey will be the one.”
“We are so glad we booked Olivia to stay with our dog. We came home to a very happy pup and very neat house. We look forward to booking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Kerissa was great with our dog. Chairman, the Akita accepted her immediately and we were able to enjoy time away from home, knowing the dog was comfortable with her! She is very nice and well use her again for sure!”
“Alex did a great job taking care of Bayley while we were away. I got plenty of updates and pictures, and came home to a happy and well cared for pup. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Family plans changed last minute leaving me with no one to take care of my two fur babies while I went away on vacation. I found rover and found angels profile and high ratings/reviews. I reached out to her and she got back to me right away! I was so thankful to find someone to take care of my pups in their own home right after Christmas and through the new year holiday! I thought for sure no one would be available or already booked. She was a real life saver. While she stayed with my pups she took great care of our home! It was snowing an insane amount while she was here and she continually helped my dogs have access to go to potty by shoveling out a spot for them in all the snow. I am so glad I booked with angle. The pups had everything they needed and more. She spoiled them with new pjs, toys and fun field trips. They loved their time with her and I was able to fully relax on my vacation knowing how much fun they were having with her.”
About: I have 3 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs of a variety of breeds, and have worked with puppies as well as older pets in home environments such as suburbs, cities, and rural areas. I am happy to cater to your pet's special needs, and I focus on respecting each pet's boundaries and getting to know them on a case by case basis, with the hope that they grow to trust me as much as they trust you! Since I am a writer who works remotely, I am open on a weekly basis and am able to be flexible in order to meet your scheduling requirements. I work hard to ensure that your pet's personal boundaries are not crossed while we take time to get to know each other. I especially care about learning their preferences in order to earn their favor and eventually their trust. Depending on each pet, I try to be very sensitive to any shifts in their mood or behavior, such as if they get anxiety when left alone or are afraid of loud weather.
“Madison was amazing. She stayed for a few hours with my dog and sent updates throughout her stay. I felt so comfortable with her watching Remy and would suggest her to anyone!”
“Sophia was available on short notice (the previous dogsitter we were trying to book flaked out at the last minute), which was extremely helpful! She asked relevant questions when she came to meet our dog, and sent us photo updates throughout the weekend that we were away from home. Thank you!”

About: I love taking care of animals but I also love truly engaging with your pets, and giving them extra love each time I'm with them. I try to make it a little easier for them with their family being away by making sure they are entertained and happy. I have very flexible availability, mainly mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I am always willing to discuss specific availability needs and I have a very flexible schedule. I love really engage and play with your pets and to send lots of pictures and share updates when I stay with your pet overnight.
About: I have been taking care of animals since childhood and would often pet sit for family members, some of which were entire farms for a week at a time. Neighbors and family members have relied on me for daily care of their dogs and cats with care tasks including feeding, walking and sometimes bathing. I am currently in nursing school and I have a very flexible schedule during the week (except Mondays, Tuesdays) and on weekends. I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm. You will see my reviews are from Canada, where I lived for 6 years, but moved back home in the last couple of years and wanted to start my account up again :) I have a large property for walks and playtime without having to drive to a trail. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed. I am available for frequent potty breaks (every 0-2 hours).
“Emily is great, she’s always flexible even when I book at the last minute. She always takes good care of my fur babies as well as my home. I will continue to use her services anytime I need a dog sitter.”
“Erika is by far the best animal sitter I have had! She sent me multiple pictures every visit and spent quality time with my babies. She gave them toys for their stockings on Christmas and made sure they felt lots of love. When a bad windstorm blew down a tree in my front yard she cleared it out of the driveway for me. Plus, when that same storm broke a window on my chicken coop, she found my chickens that escaped and fixed the window so they would stay safe. She vacuums and cleans my place after every visit so I come home to a clean home. She takes amazing care of my babies and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies.”
“We had an amazing experience with Eliza! She stayed at our home for several days and nights while caring for our French Bulldogs and our cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and responsible hands. Eliza kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and most importantly, gave our pets so much love and attention. It was obvious they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Coming home to relaxed, happy pets and a well-kept house was the best feeling. We are so grateful for everything Eliza did and would absolutely trust her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Dennis was able to accommodate our needs, very last minute. He was responsive and flexible. Dennis is very friendly, the pups took to him right away. I will be scheduling again the next time we are in the area!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barneveld on Rover is $53.28 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 72 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barneveld. 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 Barneveld 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 Barneveld 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 Barneveld 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
