About: What sets me apart from others? I managed a humane society and owned a dog transportation business. I have 2 girl dogs that are 11 and 3 yrs. I have always had dogs and pets. I’ve sat for friends and family a lot. I put my dogs through training so I know basic commands and how to interact with dogs well. Also I can handle dogs in unexpected situations in a safe and careful manner. I think caring for dogs is fun and relaxing. I started taking care of dogs when I was 3 and have almost always had one or more dogs. My dogs love other dogs. I will walk, play fetch, and jog with dogs. I love meeting all kinds of animals and dogs and have no problem cleaning up after them and following any type of schedule they might be on. We live in a great area for walking dogs. I have 10 years of professional dog walking and pet sitting experience. I have taken care of pets with many different needs. I had my own dog transporting business for a year but I got tired of being on the road. I managed at a humane society for 2 years as well. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with pets. I have a flexible schedule. I usually have 3 days off a week and have lunch breaks on the days that I do work. I have 2 playful, friendly pups. I also have lived with cats most of my life. I understand the dynamic of a multi pet household.
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
“Great sitter for our Rusty. Aimee goes above what is needed. It's obvious that Aimee has a true love for animals. We are so thankful that we finally found someone so trustworthy and perfect for our Rusty.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I can remember I have always enjoyed taking care of them and making sure they are living their best life. I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs. I look forward to treat your animals as if they are my own and show them every bit of love and care you would show them. I go to school at St. Ambrose University and during the spring semester I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available for housesitting pretty much any day and always available for drop ins or walks. I am always open for last minute bookings! Whenever I am watching a neighbors dog while staying in their house I make sure I am constantly spending time with them and getting their energy out, whether it is playing fetch, taking them on a walk, or even just cuddling on the couch with them. I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!

I have booked Danyelle multiple times now. She is great at taking care of my furbabies when I have to be away, and also in communicating with me for any questions or needs. I appreciate her thoroughness and care, especially with my nearly 20 year old senior cat! Thank you so much again, Danyelle! ✨️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Barstow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 284 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barstow. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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.
