About: A natural born caretaker, I’ve taken care of Dogs, cats, birds and kids most of my life. I was also a full time Realtor for 10 years so I’m familiar with navigating households in a professional manner. I live a sober, simple, happy life and if we seem to be a good fit, I would love to help care for your pets and your home as if they were my own. 🙏💕✌️ My availability for pet care is wide open right now for both daily and weekly opportunities. My availability for pet care services is wide open now for both daily and weekly opportunities. I am confident in my abilities to both pet and house sit as I was a housekeeper/mom for 25 years, a realtor for 9, and business owner so I’m very respectful of others and their homes. I will respectfully follow your lead.

About: Hey there! I’m Brittany, I offer pet sitting, boarding, walks, drop-ins and housesitting. Pet CPR and first aid certified, insured and bonded. From kittens and puppies to seniors and pets with complex medical needs, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care so you can be away with complete peace of mind. I’m not your average pet sitter, juggling a dozen cats and dogs. I only care for pets from no more than two families at once, but usually just one, so your pet gets my full attention and becomes part of our extended family. Think concierge-style care, calm, personal, and tailored to your pet. I’m a proud dog mommy to my 10 year old Chihuahua, Wolfgang, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Medical and special-needs experience: Cats: kitten care, diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), kidney disease and kidney failure, thyroid disease, and anxiety Dogs: puppies, seniors, seizures and epilepsy, IVDD, IMHA, arthritis, separation anxiety, and allergies My vocational nursing training and pet CPR and first aid certification, shape how I care for pets. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions precisely, and I know what to watch for: changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that can signal a problem. If anything seems off, I contact you right away. I’m reliable and punctual, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet with the kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet yours! I care for pets from no more than two families at any given time, and usually just one. That’s intentional. It lets me plan each day around your pet’s routine instead of fitting them in between other bookings. I’m available every day of the week for boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. Meals, medications, walks, and rest happen at the times your pet is used to, so their days feel familiar even while you’re away. Your dog stays in my house with a fenced yard, in a calm residential area with walking trails nearby. It’s a small, quiet home, best for small and medium dogs with a calm to moderate energy level. I unfortunately do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs, which keeps every guest and my senior Chihuahua safe and relaxed. I keep doors and gates secure, always use a leash outdoors, and follow your routine, whether that means crating or joining us on the couch.

She kept us updated, was always very responsive, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were so loved and well cared for, and she also kept the house very clean and organized. On top of all of that, she is incredibly kind and thoughtful. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: I'm so excited to start Rover and meet all of the sweet babies! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and had my own dog for 15 years, giving me years of hands-on experience with the everyday care, companionship, and responsibility that comes with having a dog.

I’m reliable, attentive, and active, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can trust! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to providing attentive, reliable pet care. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine! I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages!

About: My experience caring for animals began long before I started pet sitting professionally. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cows, chickens, goats, horses, dogs, and cats. From an early age, I was responsible for daily animal care, including early-morning feedings, cleaning animal living areas, administering medications, and ensuring every animal was healthy, comfortable, and well cared for. That upbringing gave me a strong foundation in animal care, responsibility, patience, and understanding the unique needs of different animals. Throughout my adult life, I have continued to be the person friends, family, and others trust to care for their pets and homes while they travel. In 2019, I began using TrustedHousesitters, expanding my experience across the United States and internationally. I have cared for a wide variety of pets and households, including multiple dogs and cats at once, and can provide reviews from previous families upon request. What truly sets me apart is the breadth of my hands-on experience and my ability to adapt to each animal’s individual needs. I have cared for puppies, senior pets, animals requiring specialized medications, and pets with unique behavioral needs. My experience includes administering oral medications and injections, coordinating veterinary appointments, supporting recovery and special-care routines, and maintaining consistent feeding, exercise, and daily schedules. I also have experience with dog training fundamentals, including leash training and reinforcing commands such as sit, stay, wait, and heel. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs, leash sensitivity, excessive barking, and challenging walking behaviors. I understand the importance of patience, positive redirection, awareness of surroundings, and prioritizing safety when caring for animals with behavioral challenges. Beyond pet care, I provide attentive, full-service home care. Because I work remotely, I can establish my workstation in your home and remain available throughout the day, providing consistent companionship and supervision. I can manage mail and packages, maintain a clean and organized home, coordinate with contractors when needed, and communicate updates so you always know how things are going. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully coordinate arrivals and departures, learn each pet’s routines and care instructions, and make sure their needs are met throughout my stay. I also take pride in leaving every home clean, organized, and welcoming for its owners’ return. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind. With a lifetime of animal experience, years of professional house and pet sitting, and a genuine commitment to attentive, individualized care, I bring the preparation, flexibility, and reliability needed to care for your pets and home as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian, as well as a Military Conservation Agent veteran with hands-on animal care experience. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need a little extra attention, including large breeds, anxious or reactive dogs, senior dogs, and pets recovering from medical procedures. I have dog training experience and am confident handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My animal experience also includes working with wildlife such as bears, large cats, wolves, and coyotes, including emergency animal care and working alongside veterinarians. For pets with medical needs, I can administer medications, follow veterinary care instructions, monitor recovery, and watch closely for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall condition. I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, so I may be able to accommodate short-notice bookings when other sitters are unavailable without meet & greet. My priority is always to keep your dog safe, comfortable, calm, and well cared for while giving you regular updates and peace of mind. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule outside of my lab sessions. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours, and I can often adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I may also be available for last-minute or short-notice bookings when my schedule allows. I have professional experience handling high-drive, reactive, and challenging animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I’m confident working with strong breeds and know how to handle them safely, calmly, and with good judgment. I always respect your home, property, and your pet’s routine. During walks and stays, I use safe handling techniques and closely monitor your dog’s behavior and condition. I can also provide basic first aid, administer medications as instructed, and support established training or behavior routines when needed.

About: I grew up with puppies and kittens and at one point, my family had two dogs and two cats! I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them. I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family members, and I have volunteering experience at a veterinary clinic, which has given me additional exposure to animal care. One of my favorite things is teaching pets new tricks, whether it’s learning to sit, give paw, or roll over. I find it so rewarding to watch them learn and build trust with me! I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and keeping them engaged, but I’m equally happy giving senior pets or more relaxed companions the gentle, patient care they need. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed and adapting to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. To me, caring for a pet is about more than just keeping them safe and fed. It’s about making them feel loved, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I would feel privileged to spend time with your little angels and care for them as if they were my own! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and am taking a break from fulltime corporate work, which gives me more flexibility in my schedule. I currently work as a private tennis coach, so I can plan my classes around spending quality time with your fur babies! I have plenty of time to provide attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, while making sure your pet’s routine and needs come first. I’m excited to use this time to do something I genuinely love: caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My approach to pet care is always loving, patient, and attentive. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I want to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I would love to meet you and your fur baby before accepting an assignment to get to know you both and make sure I'm a good fit for your pet's needs. I want the handoff to feel warm and reassuring, so your pet can see that I'm someone you know and trust. The thought of a pet feeling anxious or uncomfortable with a new person in their space breaks my heart, so I want to do everything I can to make the transition as smooth and stress free as possible. I'm also very happy to follow your instructions to a T! You know your baby best, and I respect the routines, boundaries, feeding schedules, medications, walking preferences, and little quirks that make them who they are. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keep you updated while you're away, and never hesitate to reach out if I have a question or concern. Above all, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your little angel is safe, loved, and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Barrett Junction

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Barrett Junction is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $43 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,755 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barrett Junction. 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 Junction 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 Junction 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 Junction 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barrett Junction. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
