“First time rover user and i was pretty nervous. Not about rover specifically but just leaving my dog in general. My anxiety was high to say the least. BUT thankfully I was lucky enough to book Charlayne who eased all my nerves and treated my dog with such care! So thankful for her and will absolutely be using her again in the future! Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Erica was amazing with our babies! We have a senior pup that needs special attention and Erica took extra special care for her and did amazing. We were so pleased we immediately book her for another longer stay. She is now our go to person!!”
“Dakota stayed in our home and took excellent care of our pets. I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He worked with our challenging Doberdane to make her comfortable with him. He is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind pet sitter.”
About: With 3 years of experience in pet care, I provide dependable and loving dog sitting services you can trust. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine, ensuring their safety, and giving them the attention they deserve. From energetic pups to senior dogs, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I am a SAHM so I have a lot of time on my hands plus 2 kids! We are very responsible and love animals so much! I have a fenced back yard and a garage. My yard is very safe and I do not leave dogs outside unsupervised. Dogs do have to be friendly with kids.
About: Hello, I have loved animals since the day i knew how to see. Ive had plenty of animals from farm to exotic i love them all i can guarantee your fur baby will have a blast with me :) I am currently unemployed so i have all the time in the world for your child/fur baby i am available any time you need me. I do not have a fenced in yard but i would love to go run with your baby (on a leash of course unless they listen) i have 1 cat that is inside/outside so if your fur baby doesn’t get along i can easily place the cat outside.
“Julie was superb! Communicated very well and sent tons of pictures. The pups seemed very happy and content. She even took out the trash and replaced some coffee pods, which certainly was above and beyond. We will certainly try to book her on our next vacation.”
“Isabelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and the house while we were out of town! She left the house tidy and was very respectful of our space and our wishes. I expect to ask her to come again the next time we need help!”
“I've used a number of sitters and Senaura was probably the best I've had. She was in constant communication with details, pictures and video. Two of my dogs got into a fight and she handled it perfectly. She will definitely be my first contact when I need someone from now on.”
“Ayobami was great! She took good care of our dog and cat and even fed our koi. She communicated daily (sometimes twice a day) with photos and videos. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home and would definitely book with her in the future.”
About: I started pet sitting while working as a vet assistant throughout college. I now enjoy caring for furbabies of all sizes for fun. I feel I provide them safe stimulation while they bring me non-stop joy. I am happy to provide extra services (nail clipping, teeth brushing, bathing) when needed. I am also comfortable with nuances of feeding a raw diet to your furbabies as I have kept all of mine on this regimen for over 10 years now. I am happy to keep your dogs on strict leash walks, take to off leash parks or work on any training youre seeking while out of town or unable to be around in sudden moments. You can feel at ease knowing your fur family will be loved and well cared for!
About: New to Rover but not to loving pets😊 I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable while they’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I take the time to learn their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to details, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and ages. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. ***Available for house sitting throughout Waxahachie, Midlothian, Mansfield, Arlington, and the Dallas area. I’m a proud Army Veteran that works from home. My schedule is flexible. So, plenty of time for bonding and cuddles with your fur baby! I have a huge gated backyard for your fur baby(s) to stretch. I also have a sweet doodle that loves to play as well! Let the fun begin!
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
“This was my first time allowing someone into my house to take care of my babies, Tiffany took the time to come for an interview she answer all my questions and understood my concerns, she house sitter for 7 days during that time she send me pictures of my babies and keep me informed . I would use her again and recommend her.”
About: Hi. I'm a born caregiver and that includes pets. Until their passing recently, I was my housemates dog walker, caregiver, sitter and dog uncle since 2010. While they were her dogs she routinely joked she was jealous they were far more affectionate with me. :) They were fed regularly, walked, played with, I put proper meds in their food, and often they fall asleep next to me. I also was my friends first choice for dog sitting and even pet sit for a CEO and SVP. In this job, you're not doing this to get rich, you do this because you CARE for animals. Because I cannot have pets where I live at, this allows me to be around pets to enjoy their company as pets have a way of making me smile and enjoy life even a bit more. I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of pics and updates so you know your furry family member is cared for like you would. I currently work as a video/film editor as well as animation and music production so doing this PT allows me to continue that dream while getting exercise and being around pets as I cannot really have them at my place. I listen to your directions and will treat your pet with the same care and love I would want with a pet if I had one. While others say one thing and do another, you really can trust that I'm honest, loving, caring. I can also help medicate if I'm placing meds inside their foods.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 104 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barry. 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 Barry 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 Barry 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 Barry 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.
