“Daniel took fantastic care of our pups and our home. He was very responsive and sent pictures of his outdoor adventures with the dogs each day. We look forward to working with him again in the future!”
“Hannah was on time for both the meet and greet and petsitting date and asked good clarifying questions about Milo's care. She sent several pictures of Milo each day we were gone and kept us updated. Most importantly, Milo appeared to be very happy when we returned. We would definitely use Hannah for again for dogsitting!”
“Ella was amazing with our pup during her weekend stay! She was kind, courteous, and completely trustworthy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lima was in such good hands. Ella kept her on schedule, sent updates, and gave her so much love and attention. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Faith was absolutely incredible. I sometimes procrastinate so I booked with Faith later than I originally wanted, so she was unable to stay the night with our dogs. But she responded to my request right away and sent prompt responses every time. I felt a little bad for our dogs at first knowing nobody would be there at night. But Faith’s detail to care, information she consistently shared with me, along with pictures, and her clear love for animals, made those feelings disappear so fast. My boys absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks again Faith! :)”
“Luke was great with Ellie! And was great at sending photos of their time together. I always stress leaving her behind so his communication was very helpful in keeping my stress at bay.”
About: I have worked with animals off and on my whole life. I’ve had four dogs growing up including my current dog. I do have experience with epilepsy since my current dog does have it. I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.

So i have plenty of extra time to spend and care for your fur baby. Im available Monday to Friday after 2pm and weekends! I have plent of yard space and easy access to walking tails and parks. I do have a dog friendly cat who can keep ur fur baby company
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, which gave me a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing pet care, including overnight stays, administering medications, and keeping pets comfortable and happy in their home environment. I always focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s mealtime schedules, daily walks, playtime, or a bit of training and structure. I’m also experienced in caring for senior pets and can support their specific needs with patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I’m happy to send daily updates and photos so you can stay connected and see all the love your pets are getting. Send me a message any time for a quick meet & greet or a free short walk—no commitment, just pets and peace of mind! I have both a dog and cat that I take care of every day. My dog is a four year old energetic lab/springer mix and I have a two year old orange kitty. I love getting outside and having playtime or going on walks with my dog and playing with my cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following any specific instructions you provide—like feeding schedules, medications, or routines. When pets stay with me, my home is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at ease. During drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and make sure to keep everything just as I found it. In all cases, I take the time to build trust and move at each pet’s pace to ensure they feel secure and loved. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.
About: While I’m new to professional dog sitting, I’ve grown up with dogs and have helped friends and family care for their pets. My background as a caregiver for individuals with special needs, along with experience as a CNA and lifeguard, has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to manage complex care routines. I’m confident these skills will help me provide loving, attentive care to your furry family members! 🐾💕 I’m currently 18 and just moved to Lacrosse for college. I have class about 4 hours a day and can be with your dog for the rest of the day if needed! I prioritize both comfort and safety with my dog sitting. Please let me know how I can best accommodate your dog to keep them happy!
About: I'm someone who treats every pet like my own! I've taken care of my childhood dog and cats since I was very young, as well as my extended family and friend's animals. I consider myself dependable and patient, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'm comfortable caring for all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to follow each pet's specific routine and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you're away! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I'm in my last semester of college and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. My main focus is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I'll follow any feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide. I also want you to feel comfortable while you're away, so I'm happy to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Laren stayed for a 3 day weekend with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. She did a fantastic job. She followed through on all our instructions and requests. She was prompt in returning messages and sent us photos too. She even made friends with our very shy cat who will normaly never even be around strangers. She's truly a "cat whisperer"! We recommend her highly!”
“Amanda was awesome with my quirky dog Hazel. She was professional throughout the whole process. We haven’t had a lot of different dog sitters because our dog Hazel is a little quirky. Amanda came at the time we asked her to, she took Hazel on hikes, sent pictures to us throughout the weekend and kept us updated on how things were going. Our house looked exactly y the same as it did when we left. We will 100% have Amanda back to help with Hazel for any future stays!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 132 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barre Mills. 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 Barre Mills 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 Barre Mills 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 Barre Mills 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
