“Tori is FANTASTIC!! My animals loved her; my dog cried when she left. Tori has excellent communication skills and would send me photos and videos of my babies. She watched them and my house for two weeks. Tori left everything in great condition. I highly recommend her and will use her again for sure.”
“Both myself and my dogs like Reagan...she is just genuinely.nice!! My house was spotless when I returned home from my trip and my dogs were happy. Thank you for such good care...and I loved all the pictures that were sent when I was away.”
“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”
“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Anneliese did a wonderful job with my 3 French bulldogs. She stayed the entire time with them and gave us constant updates and photos. The frenchies had many cuddle sessions and lots of outside/playtime. She was very respectful and left our home clean and well kept. I’d recommend her to anyone who feels nervous to leave their fur babies as she will give them all the love and time they need. She’s a very kind, thoughtful and loving pet sitter.”
“Melinda did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs and cat over the weekend. My very energetic dog got a lot of play time, and my shy dog was given lots of love. I felt very confident that they were all being well cared for while I was away.”
“Tiana is amazing! She went over and above with the care she provided to our big goofball. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures...we joked with our family that our Dog was going to be disappointed when we returned as she was having so much fun with Tiana! Highly recommend Tiana.”
“This was our first time having Jordan as a house and dog sitter. Not only was it obvious that he cared deeply about our dog’s physical and emotional well being, he also took amazing care of our home. It was cleaner than when we left. We definitely felt a peace of mind with Jordan taking care of our dog and home. His attention to detail showed on every way.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving the pets at home and Frank did a great job! We returned to happy pets and a home exactly as we left it. Frank was professional and responsive and even went the extra mile to find a replacement stuffed animal for my daughter for one that our puppy destroyed. A great experience overall!”
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
“merry was great with my dog! they were very thorough and made sure they had al the necessary info to take care of him, and i was very confident that we would be well taken care of while i was gone! highly recommend (:”
“Amir was a fantastic house sitter. He cared for our reactive dog, two cats, and home for over a week, providing them with plenty of companionship and attention. He stayed extended hours during the day, watered our plants, took out the trash, and left thoughtful touches like washing the sheets and cleaning up pet hair before we returned. We came home to a clean, calm house and happy pets—highly recommend!”
About: I always jump at the opportunity to pet, play, cuddle with any dog but I am also a former dog mom of 10 years which means I have experience doing all of the things a dog parent does: grooming, trimming nails, feeding, walking/hiking, training (potty/walks/kennel/sit, stay, etc.), cleaning up doggy messes, socializing, administering medicine, establishing a schedule, etc. I am very active so I can keep up with your dog's energy and can also be their cuddle buddy when they're tired! In addition, I have experience caring for anywhere from 1-7 dogs at a time ranging from puppy to senior and chihuahua to husky so I understand that each dog is unique and will need care adjusted to their needs and personality. My availability is flexible and dependent on your location and the amount of days you're looking for! I'm an educator, however, I'm taking a break from full time teaching to pursue my passion of permaculture. My schedule is much more flexible now and I'd like to spend my extra time with some furry friends! I'm a very tidy and clean person so I would be sure to follow any routines you have set in place as well as clean up after myself and your pet. I am comfortable kenneling your pet or letting them roam, whatever's your preference!
“Cheryl was fantastic! . She spent about an hour every time she came over and sent a lot of pictures. It was my first time leaving my babies with anyone other than family, but the continual contact made me feel really comfortable. I could see that they were really happy and relaxed, so I could be too.”
“Isabella is absolutely the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! Not only did she take amazing care of our pets, but she also cleaned our house while pet sitting. Her communication was great and she took the cutest, silliest pictures of our pets. She also had experience with lizards, which was a huge bonus. We had a couple of last minute changes too, and she was able to accommodate us with no problem. We’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“This is my first time using Rover and we were looking for an overnight sitter for mainly my little Genee girl who has never not had family around her. Anika filled that gap for us and did an amazing job. She put up with all my messages and provided pictures of Genee on walks and playing. She even included pics of the cat lounging around as usual. I was worried about leaving Genee for the first time but Anika made it much easier for me! I would highly recommend her and I will be calling upon her again when we need a sitter!”
“Katherine did a great job house sitting for our pup this past weekend! First time ever that we had someone stay over with her and the photos showed a pretty happy pup. This is especially impressive considering our dog has anxiety with new people at times. Katherine came over a couple other times in prep for this first house sitting session to help our dog get use to her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barton on Rover is $88.57 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,389 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barton. 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 Barton 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 Barton 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 Barton 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 with handling special pet needs in Barton. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
