“Cortney was fantastic! Right when we met at our meet and greet I felt reassured we were leaving our pups in great hands. She is super professional, impeccably timely, and is an obvious dog lover and experienced pet/ house sitter. We have two dogs - a 4 month old Border Collie puppy and 3 year old Border Collie. Cortney was able to manage and support their high energy seamlessly. What a wonderful relief to leave our dogs with Cortney- I was able to focus on family time while out of town with the peace of mind all was taken care of at home. We will definitely seek to book Cortney for our future needs.”
“Willow was a great pet sitter. My 3 dogs received lots of love while I was away. The house was in perfect order and my plants remained alive and well. Will definitely be calling her back again!”
“Brooke was a fantastic partner in watching our dog and our home while we were away. She made sure our dog got lots of attention and sent us updates. Great communication. We came home to a happy non-stressed pup and a tidy home. 5 stars!”
“Hannah stepped in at the last minute and was absolutely fantastic. The dogs were very comfortable with her and she communicated very clearly about their wellbeing even when I was half way across the world. She answered all my anxiety-ridden questions, sent photos and always made me feel that the dogs were getting the best care. I highly recommend Hannah”
“Kate is extremely professional and communicates very well. She cared for our 2 very large dogs while staying in our home. I would recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter.”
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”
About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.
“Shameray was amazing with my animals! She was very clean and communicated with me the whole time I was gone. My dog is very picky and she was so patient with her. Thanks again!”
“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”
“I am so lucky to have found Maddy to watch our senior pup and turtle while we were away for Thanksgiving! She is very responsive and kept our home clean and tidy, too. It was amazing to have a worry free trip knowing she was caring for our pets.”
“Emily stayed with Comet & Sola in our home over the Christmas holiday week. She was super communicative (lots of great photos & videos!) & kept me well informed. Our dogs warmed up to her quickly, especially our puppy, he’s weary of new people & they were BFFs in no time. Our home was well taken care of too! We’ll be re-booking with Emily!”
About: I’ve never not had pets and I’ve taken care of other people’s dogs and cats since I was 10. I will walk, feed, cuddle, bathe, and play with your pets as I would my own. Each of the individuals in my photos are beloved pets that I have taken care of over the past several years. Some belong to my family and friends, some are housemates from the same client, and there have been many more that are not pictured. I am happy to accommodate any special needs, sensitivities, behavior concerns, or instructions. I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones! I am building a client base to shift my focus to full time pet care. I am very flexible and accommodating, and I’ll work with you to make sure your needs, and your pet’s needs, are met. I will treat your pets and your home as I do my own. No messes, and no hungry or thirsty animals. Just lots of love and attention!
About: We would love for your dog to come and hangout and be cared for by us! We have a 4 year old dog who loves to meet new friends I currently work from home and can also offer overnight stays! I have a flexible schedule and can take your dog for walks or to the park. We have an outdoor area and walking trail at our house, so your dog will get plenty of exercise! We have a crate and dog bed that can be used.
“Sage was incredible!! They instantly bonded with our dogs, a feat for two anxious girlies who don’t warm up to strangers easily. They sent lots of photos and took the girls on daily walks. They left our home so spotless and went above and beyond and laundered our sheets and ran the dishwasher. You can tell they really just love animals so dearly, and we are so grateful that our girls had someone as loving and kind as Sage to watch them while we were away. We hope to use them again in the future!”
“Anastasia was a dream dog sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our young puppy was well cared for. She stayed in consistent communication and we were at ease knowing Mochi was in great hands. She left the house extremely clean. She even stayed longer than planned due to a big winter storm that pushed our flights back. We could not recommend Anastasia enough.”
“Minju kindly filled in for a last minute pet-sitter cancellation. During the week we were gone, she checked in regularly and sent several pictures and photos of our cat. I felt comfortable knowing Simon was getting plenty of attention and love while we were away.”

So thankful for Emily! She was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to our two Labradors. She also did a great job reassuring us with lots of text updates and pictures that she was on task with their walks, feeding schedule and snuggles. Made us feel confident leaving them in her care for 2 nights and days. Thanks Emily! 💖🐾
Dani is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! She listens carefully and follows every detail of Valentino!’s care, which means so much to us given his seizures and medical needs. She sends pictures and updates so we always know how he’s doing, and her communication gives us such peace of mind. She’s always on time, dependable, and attentive—we truly couldn’t ask for more. We’ll be calling Dani every time we’re in Austin, and if you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby, we wholeheartedly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Lucy was absolutely wonderful with our pups, Buffy and Bourbon! We were traveling over a long weekend and couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving them in her care. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and sent us lots of photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. It was clear from the moment we got home that the dogs absolutely loved her. She took great care of them, stayed in our home, and was respectful and thoughtful about everything. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Lucy with Buffy and Bourbon again and would recommend her without hesitation. She’s responsible, caring, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We feel very lucky to have found her!
Absolute professional! My dog has a serious medical condition that requires very rigid care and Julian handled him marvelously. Julian was flexible enough to stay in my home while me and my wife honeymooned. His level of care gave me peace of mind so we could really enjoy our vacation.
I can't say enough great things about Whitney. This is the second time she has watched our dogs, this time for 3 weeks. She is incredibly professional, kind, dependable, communicative, and our dogs love her--what more can you ask for? Our vacation was so much more enjoyable with the peace of mind that our dogs were in such capable hands, and her photo updates were always a highlight of our day. She also left our house absolutely spotless, which was such a treat to come home to. I Would book with her any time!
Aimee did an amazing job watching our animals during spring break. She sent multiple updates and photos of our Fur babies. We will definitely look into using her again when we go on vacation. It was wonderful to know they all were taken care of and happy with her watching them.
Sophie was amazing with my little Rhino!! She was professional, attentive, and took the time to understand Rhino's needs. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my pup was happy and well-cared for. When I returned, Rhino was in great spirits, proving that he was in loving hands. I’ll definitely book Sophie again!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Barton Creek is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 per night.

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 Creek 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 Creek 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Creek 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
