“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!”
“Angi was above and beyond with our dog in our home. So many photos, check-ins, accident clean ups and she even cooked some additional dog food for us so when we got back he was all set for the week. Truly thought of everything. Such a fantastic experience!”
About: I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats, and I'm comfortable following each pet's routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. I've cared for a puppy for over a week, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their daily schedule. I also have experience caring for adult dogs by providing walks, meals, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I've cared for cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them throughout the day. When house sitting, I also take care of basic household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, and helping keep your home tidy while you're away. I follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and I'm happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets and home are being well cared for. I work remotely Monday through Friday, typically from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. Because I'm home during the day, I can take breaks for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, and I can provide regular attention throughout the day. I'm available for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking on both weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other care your pet is used to. I know every pet is different, so I'm happy to adjust to their needs and personality.
“Bella is AMAZING! My cat is obsessed with her. I had peace of mind knowing Bella was taking such great care of him while I was out of town. I fully trust Bella and highly recommend!”
“Eliza was excellent with our 9 week old puppy, we have a chihuahua pug mix and she can be rowdy! They had so much fun and she even sent over a picture with an update. 10/10 would book again!”
“We love Addie! She has house sat for us a couple times now and done a drop in visit as well. She is quick to respond and willing to work with you on shifting times or unexpected situations. If she has a question or concern about your home or pup, she asks. Addie is also thoughtful and we can tell our pup enjoys having her around!”

My cat does not go outside but has comfortable spaces in the house to sleep or watch what happens outside through the windows. I will follow your safety rules to keep your pet safe and well.
“Holly was wonderful! She took extra time to meet our pup before his stay, which was so appreciated. She took our pup on lots of walks, gave him snuggles and helped find a way to calm his food anxiousness at her house. Would recommend her to anyone!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barre Mills on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 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.
