About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. I am a dog mom of 3 and ready to share the love. I house trained my pups and taught them fun tricks. I even make them special treats because they deserve the best. I work full-time M-F however I have access to my home throughout the day, every 2 hours and I am available on the weekends. I also have a significant other that will be around to assist with care when needed. Your fur baby will be in great hands with us. My pets are my children, I care for them with love always. I will provide that same care for your fur baby as well. I have a large yard for your fur babies to do zoomies. I take my dogs to the dog park biweekly and I’d be more than happy to have your pups join. Any instructions or special situations you request for your fur baby will always be followed and never judged or neglected. We are an animal loving home and will treat your fur babies as if they are our own when they are with us.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, walks, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving and reliable care. ❤️🐶 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and now that my child has started pre-K, I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for daytime drop-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and boarding. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs.

About: I’ve always been the kind of person who learns the dog’s name before the human’s. 🐾 Whether your dog is a professional couch potato, a fetch fanatic, a certified Velcro dog, or thinks every walk is the greatest adventure of their life, I love figuring out what makes them happiest. I also have extensive hands on experience with Believe in Dog Training in Houston Heights, where I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, communication, and training. I’ve personally taken two of my own dogs through training with them, so I understand how important consistency, positive reinforcement, boundaries, and keeping up with the commands and routines your dog already knows can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your normal walking routine, feeding schedule, commands, house rules, and all those little quirks that make your dog your dog. I don’t want your pet to simply be checked off a to do list while you’re gone. They’ll get genuine attention, playtime, walks, love, and cuddles if that’s their thing. And yes, you can absolutely expect photo updates including the unnecessarily cute ones. 🐶❤️ My schedule is flexible, which means I have plenty of time to make your pets a priority! 🐾 I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because we all know they’re the ones actually running the schedule. Whether it’s morning zoomies, an afternoon walk, or dinner served precisely when demanded, I’m there! Your pet’s safety comes first fun is a very close second! 🐾 I follow your instructions, routines, house rules, and training cues closely because consistency matters. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll never introduce your pet to another animal or take them somewhere new without your permission. I also know every pet has their quirks. Whether I need to give them space, burn off some serious zoomies, throw the ball approximately 900 times, or provide mandatory couch cuddles, I’ll adapt to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. You can expect plenty of updates and pictures along the way because wondering what your pet is doing while you’re gone is half the struggle! ❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrett
Paige was great! We love a lot of photos when we’re on trips and she was sure to send us a bunch. As far as preparedness I’d say she was the most prepared sitter we’ve had. She had a sheet for us to fill out with all of our preferences which I thought was so smart! Very respectful of our home. 10/10

FAQs for House Sitting - Barrett
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,027 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barrett. 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 Barrett 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 Barrett 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 Barrett 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.

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.
