“Matt did a great job of taking care of our home, plants and dogs. He kept me informed of how the dogs were doing and sent pictures. He actually came by one more time following the initial meeting to go over meds, etc. The house looked great when we got home and the plants and dogs thrived.”

“Samantha is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and flexible, which made booking with her incredibly easy. After meeting her, we felt completely comfortable having her stay with our hounds. She sent us daily updates with photos and even brought a package inside for us. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend Samantha! ❤️”

“Jaime was by far the best house/ dog sitter we have used since we started using Rover more than 5 years ago for our two dogs! I knew as soon as I met her that she was caring, responsible and perfect for the job, and the dogs loved her too! It was so nice not having to worry about our “boys” and enjoying our vacation stress free. It was very evident from pictures sent that she loved the dogs and they were in good hands. Coming home to a clean house after our vacation was another plus. I will definitely use Jaime again for upcoming vacations in the future!”

“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”

About: No pets over 20 Ibs as my space is not big enough please. I worked with my step mom since 13 with her dog/cat grooming company. Therefore i am very versed with many different types of companions. I have also had many dogs and cats throughout my years. I hope to give any companion the best time. I am a working mom of a 4 year old and 3 year old. They are both very respectful and gentle with pets. We have a five year old cat, but he has lived with both cats and dogs. My cat does get along with both. Since I do work full time, I wont personally be home all the time with the pets. On the plus side though, my husband stays home so there will always be someone here with them! I have a decent sized yard but it is not fenced. I will take the dogs for walks around my neighborhood, and any potty breaks/walks I will be sure they are leashed when outside. As for cats i do have a smart litter box so it stays very sanitized and it tracks potty time to make sure everything is looking good with cats! I have a huge cat tree. I do not have much supply for dogs, but Im willing to get anything to accommodate a dogs needs. Please no pets over 20 Ibs. My space is not big enough for bigger pets.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me pretty much my entire life, and I’ve always believed they’re part of the family. In our house, Pepper and Lily pretty much run the show! 😊 Pepper is our 8-year-old Maltipoo, and Lily is our 6-year-old American Shorthair cat. They keep us entertained, keep us on schedule, and remind us who is really in charge. I’m retired, which gives me something many pet sitters don’t have as much of — time. I enjoy being around animals and would much rather spend my day with a dog or cat than rush in and out between a dozen other commitments. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors. I haven’t done it professionally, but I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover all my life, and I understand how much trust is involved when you leave someone with your pets. A little about how I care for pets Every pet is different. Some want a long walk and lots of play; others are perfectly happy curling up beside you. I’m happy to follow their routine and your instructions — whether that means walks, meals at a particular time, medications, special attention, or caring for an older pet. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care in your home. My preference is house sitting because I think most pets are happiest in their own surroundings, with their familiar beds, toys, smells, and routines. I don’t offer boarding at my home because Lily has made it clear that she does not appreciate houseguests of the canine variety! 😄 Your home matters to me, too. This is something I feel strongly about because I’ve used Rover myself. We’ve had Rover sitters care for our pets and stay in our home, so I know what it’s like to hand your keys—and your furry family members—to someone you don’t know. I will treat your home the way I want someone to treat mine: with respect, care, cleanliness, and common sense. I’ll follow your instructions, keep things tidy, and make sure your home is secure while you’re away. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or time away without worrying about what’s happening at home. I’m not looking to simply “check in” on your pets. I enjoy their company. I’ll talk to them, play with them, take them for walks, give them attention, and let them keep me company. If your pets are happy, I’m happy. That’s really what this is about. ❤️🐾 I’d love to meet you and your pets, learn their routines, and see if we’re a good fit. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, including evenings and overnight stays. I enjoy being with pets and can give them plenty of time and attention. I treat your home with the same respect I expect for mine. We’ve used Rover sitters ourselves, so I understand the trust involved. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home secure and tidy, and give your pets attentive, dependable care.

About: I have cared for pets since I was a little girl. Ranging from big dogs all the way down to ferrets . I am comfortable with most forms of pets and would be happy to care for your family member! I have watched, dog walked, and played with many pups/dogs throughout the years, I started dog walking at the age of 13 in my neighborhood. I have 2 dogs and 1 puppy that I care for in my home in Hillsboro. I am happy to walk your babies or even go on fun trips to the parks! I have a full time job working Monday through Friday and every other weekend. I am a busy bee and like to stay that way! Caring for your babies would just add to my to do list but make it more fun I am comfortable with dogs all shapes and sizes; as well as other forms pets! If you're unsure, just ask! I understand leaving a baby can be difficult and I am willing to meet any requirements needed to ensure you are able to relax when I am caring for your pet! I would like to do a meet and greet for any and all house sittings. I understand sometimes a drop by can be emergency and these requests can't be followed. Again, just reach out and we can discuss options! Any and all medication requirements I request I be shown beforehand to see how the pet handles it and what works best for them. I am more than happy to send photos of your babies while caring for them and will even do a FaceTime call if needed. Any questions, concerns, or just in general topics you wish to discuss, I will respond to as soon as possible! I look forward to loving your fur friends(and all other sorts) as my own!

About: I take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs. Whether that means structured playtime for high-energy pups or quiet companionship for seniors, I adapt to them. I prioritize safety, communication, and providing updates so you always feel confident your dog is in loving, capable hands I work full-time, but I maintain a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable pet care. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feedings, and quality time, and I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and affection before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended walks, playtime, and extra care When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routes, medication needs, and house rules. I keep doors secured, monitor surroundings on walks, and ensure pets are always safely leashed or supervised. My goal is to maintain a calm, familiar environment so your pet experiences minimal disruption while you’re gone

About: I love to spoil your dog whenever they’re with me with love plus we love to go to dog parks! I will treat your fur babies as they’re apart of my household. Currently since I’m in an apartment I don’t have access to a place for your dogs to roam, so I will come to you! I work Monday- Friday 8:00-2:30, so mostly I am free in the evenings or on the weekends! If I was babysitting your dog during the week I’d make time for them. I will follow whatever schedule you have for your fur baby and they will get to hangout with me the whole time and get attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Barnhart

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Barnhart on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,425 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barnhart. 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 Barnhart 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 Barnhart 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 Barnhart 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 Barnhart. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
