“Rasika was amazing to work with. I needed someone very last minute and she was very fast to respond and arrange for us to introduce her to Ekko. She has good experience working with dogs and is great at ensuring they are comfortable and relaxed. She sent very frequent updates and photos during her time with Ekko to show things are going well. Highly recommend working with her!”
“Luna and I had the most precious and wonderful experience with Lindsey! We will 10/10 be utilizing her again in the future and anytime I travel. I requested a short notice dog sitter and found Lindsey to be extremely responsive and responsible. We set up a call the day before I was leaving and I was impressed immediately at her attention to detail and clarifying questions. During her stay with Luna, “Miss Lindsey” was extremely communicative and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Luna is very active and Lindsey took care to take Luna on wonderful longer walks and excursions each day. I could easily tell by the pics how comfortable and happy and safe Luna felt with Lindsey. When I returned home, my apartment looked better than when I left it! Luna and I give Lindsey the highest recommendation for your pet sitting/ walking needs. It was truly a fabulous connection and experience 🫶🏼🤍”
“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.”
“Alix was so great with my 6 mo old puppy ! We were gone for about 6 days and she did a wonderful job taking care of the house as well. I really appreciated having her there and knowing all was well!”
“Heidi was fabulous! She stayed and took care of our 3 dogs for 5 nights/6days. The dogs had lots of care and cuddles. I got lots of pictures. I’m sure my dogs are ready for her to come back again! She left my house better than she found it. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!”
“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.”
“Dani was stellar. She was very caring and gave us confidence right away that our fur family and house would be well taken care of. She sent us pictures and kept us updated and we came home to happy pups! Will definitely call her first for our next trip.”
About: I have experience w/ doggos, rodents, bunnies, birds, etc. I genuinely love animals and know they are so special in our lives and I treat them as such 💯💖👍 I know when I’ve had pets before and have had someone else watch them, it matters to me that they do things exactly how I do it at home so I will do the same for you. Your wish is my command. I want your pet to feel as much at home as possible always. And I’m not afraid to ask questions if needed. I am currently working from home so am very available!! And also love the company 🥰 No days off when it come to taking care of your baby. It matters to me greatly to honor your pet’s routine and your exact preferences. I love details so just let me know as much as you can about your pet and your preferences. I’m highly adaptable and love to do things well so just let me know any preferences and what you want for your pet and how you want them cared for and I will act accordingly!! 💖
“Lyana helped me out last minute. She let me ask 1 million questions and made me feel safe about leaving my dogs for the first time. While I was gone, she sent me lots of updates and photos, and really went above and beyond while watching my pets. I’m really grateful for her help.”
“Jordan is a wonderful pet sitter! Great communication, kept us posted with lots of photos. Took great care or our house, too. But most importantly, our dogs loved him! Definitely would book again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was 14, caring for pets for friends, family, and others over the years. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, stopping by for a visit, or making sure your pet has everything they need while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your routine and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, a quick potty break, or some company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I fully understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. During walks, I’ll keep your dog secure and attentive to their surroundings. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and anything else they need before I leave.
“I was nervous to leave my highly anxious dog with a sitter overnight, but Madelyn exceeded our expectations. She is very competent and knowledgable. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Monica was absolutely perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after Sidney while I was in a last-minute business meeting that took the entire day. She walked him and ensured he was well cared for during the day.”
“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was 8 years old. Friends and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets. I have full time availability during the week to walk and check in on your animals. On the weekends I am available from 8am-2pm or boarding. I have a fenced yard, with a pool and grass. I also have two dogs, one that’s a corgi and once that’s a mixed breed. I can also crate your animal if needed at night.
“Very pleased with the extended stay coverage while we were traveling internationally. Anastasia was understanding and adaptable. We appreciated all the dog walks too! Will use Anastasia again in the future!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Alexa! She took amazing care of our pets, including giving medication to our very unhappy cat, managing our two cats who are still learning to live together, all while taking care of our dog as well. She went above and beyond in every way and treated our fur babies like family. The updates, photos, communication, and level of care were incredible. She stayed at our home and left it cleaner than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone you trust completely with your pet — we will absolutely be repeat clients!”
“Sidney was such a lifesaver helping me out for a last minute business trip. You could tell from the meet + greet that this wasn't her first rodeo - asking all the right questions to make sure she was equipped to handle my pup's quirks. She was super communicative and kept my pup happy and healthy while I was gone which is all I can ask for!”
“Crystal was wonderful with my aging pup Polly who needed a little more attention and help on this booking as she was healing from an episode of vestibular disease. Crystal not only took great care of Polly and provided helpful updates to me, she also left our home in a great way as well. Highly recommend booking with Crystal.”

We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Cody received! Our senior dog requires a little extra attention with daily medications, and Rasika handled everything beautifully. She was incredibly responsible, responsive, and communicative, keeping us updated throughout her overnight stay. It’s such a comfort knowing Cody is in loving, capable hands and our home is well cared for. We completely trust her and will absolutely be calling her again. Highly recommend!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Barton Creek is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 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 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.
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 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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
