“Sydney was wonderful! She sent me pictures of my fur babies and had good communication. I didn't worry about leaving my three pets in her care. It was so nice to come home to my pets happy faces and a clean home. Thank you Sydney.”
“Paul took great care of our two puppies while we were on vacation! He sent multiple updates daily with pictures, and they were extremely well cared for. We never had to worry about them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation! I would leave my pets with Paul anytime!!”
“We wish we could give Faith 20 stars. We could tell immediately how cared for and loved Hugo was when we got home. Our house looked amazing and Hugo was happy. Faith checked in and shared great pictures. I’m thinking Hugo may pack up my bags so we can bring Faith back.”
About: I have about 4 years of hands-on pet care experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for dogs for family members, including regularly dog sitting for my sister, and I’ve provided cat sitting for family friends. I also have experience training and caring for my sister’s Golden Retriever puppy, including helping with basic training, routines, playtime, and supervision. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet with patience, attention, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m currently a high school student with school from 7:00 AM to 2:25 PM on weekdays. I’m available for pet care after school, during evenings, and throughout the weekends. I’m also available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can work with different schedules when given advance notice. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while caring for their pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other specific needs. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and make sure they are supervised and cared for in a calm, comfortable environment. I’ll also communicate with you throughout the booking and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
“Michael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.”
“Courtney iwas absolutely fantastic with not just one dog, but THREE. She was available last minute, and was able to accommodate two extra dogs. She was invested in their safety, followed all instructions to a t, took the dogs on walks, and sent videos and photos to keep me updated. I will definitely be using Courtney again!”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give my own. I maintain a consistent weekly routine and value being dependable and organized. I work full-time during the week, but I plan my time carefully to make sure I can give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to accommodate morning and evening walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and weekend care based on my availability. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to stick to their normal routines and keep owners updated while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately and kept in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
“We are delighted to have had Anna housesit for our 3 cats. It was obvious how relaxed they were from her updates & pictures of our happy, playful cats! Our 3 girls want Anna to return!!”
“Sarah is the best, hands down. She took care of our needy 6 month old puppy for 8 days like he was her own. She met our dog where he is (inability to be left alone for long, early wake ups, puppy behaviors🫠) and did it all with so much care and patience. She sent multiple pictures everyday with messages about how their day went. I can’t recommend her enough and there aren’t enough stars on this app to convey how much she did for us and our pup!”
“Jeremy was great with our dogs and our home. He encouraged play, comforted them, and ensured they were fed and watered appropriately. His intuition to our dogs behavior was also spot on, it’s obvious he is a great care giver. I would highly recommend him!”
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”
About: I have walked dogs for other families previously. I also have 7 animals at home, so I am quite experienced in animal care. I know about both dogs and cats. I currently work full time. I am available during the week after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends. Might have early morning hours during the week as well. I will not be offering services in my home. However, I will make sure all animals are fed, hydrated and properly cared for. My main focus will be walks.
“Joseph was great! Our dog Rudy has many health issues and a lot of attention with his medications. He did a great job giving him his meds. He was also great with texting us and sending us pictures.”
About: I’m a kind and goofy gal that loves dogs with my whole being. I own a beagle named Luna that I love spending time with. Her mom needs to hustle to get more funds for our journeys and all the Trader Joe’s treats. I am constantly the friend that takes care of my friend’s dog and enjoy every moment. I hope you give me the opportunity to spend time with your pet! I’d be happy to expand on my experience and passion. My entire schedule revolves around my dog. I’m thinking about how to move things around for her and always checking if I can bring her with. I enjoy our three walks a day on our remote work from home days. I’m open to taking care of pets at my home or their own as long as you’re okay with mine being with us. I’d be happy to introduce them beforehand. I’m a horrible liar and believe in karma, so I treat everyone and their homes like I would want others to treat mine. Hopefully this isn’t too cheesy lol
“Liz was great at following instructions and was super receptive to any feedback or request. She took care of my boys and the house. She kept me updated and seemed to really care for the boys.”
About: Hi! My name is Courtney and I’m excited to help care for your pet. I have ER experience working with animals and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on the day. I’ll always communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised during visits. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care routines to keep them safe and healthy.

I have reviewed Grace before, but just wanted to reiterate how much me and my dog adore her!! She goes out of her way to make sure my anxious dog is as comfy as she can be. She has such a warm presence, it feels just like a family member is with my Cookie and I never have to worry for a second. She asks so many questions and follows all my instructions to a t. Do yourself a favor and book with her :).
Jacalyn is awesome. Great communication skills. Punctual. We have one dog that doesn't take well to strangers, takes a long time to warm up, yet at the first meet and greet, he went right up to her for pets. I was impressed. Our other dog wanted her attention also. I would highly recommend her for all pet care needs.
Isabella was great with my Great Pyrenees and old orange kitty. She sent me pictures throughout her stay and asked questions when applicable. When we returned home, the house was as clean as when we left it. Thank you for taking great care of our fur balls and allowing us to put our minds at ease and enjoy our vacation! We would definitely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Barton is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 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.

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 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 Barton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
