“Ras is awesome to work with! She is responsive and flexible. It was clear during our meet and greet and her messages while spending time with my pups that she has experience in working with all types of dogs and I feel confident in her ability to take great care of them. I look forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Amanda was great. Our dog, Scarlet, has separation anxiety and cannot be left home alone. We had Amanda come stay at our house for a few hours so we could have an evening out. Our Scarlet seemed super happy and relaxed when Amanda arrived and when we got back home. Amanda also administered Scarlet’s medication while we were out - big help! We would definitely use Amanda again.”
“August was outstanding staying with our little pup, who was in great spirits and well taken care of when we came back from a family trip. We’ll definitely ask for August’s help in the future. Thank you!”
“Cortney was the definition of phenomenal while house sitting our Liza! She went above and beyond to ensure our pup was cared for and our home was safe during the winter freeze. 10 out of 10, absolutely recommend!”
“Willow did a great job house sitting for us and watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats, they all loved her and she performed all duties we asked + gave lots of play time and walks. We will definitely book with her 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!”
“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!”
“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”
“The first time I was able to truly relax on vacation because Kaia once again took such wonderful care of our two golden retrievers. The daily check ins with pics of walks and play and cuddles put my mind at ease, and they LOVE her.”
“Katherine is amazing!!! She wanted our bulldog over the weekend and sent me so many updates with the most adorable pictures. She came over earlier this week to meet us and our dog. She was lovely and so easy to talk to to. She responded to messages so quickly. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Hannah did a great job pet sitting our four animals over the holiday weekend! She was extremely dependable, communicative and responsible – and I would not hesitate to hire her again. One of our dogs is elderly with eyesight and hearing issues and our other dog has dog/fence aggression issues, and Hannah was able to handle both with ease. She left our house in perfect condition with happy animals. I can recommend her services wholeheartedly and will be hiring her again in the future!”
“I see why Woody has gotten so many positive reviews about both the care they provide for the dogs but also the person they are. I am so particular about who cares for my dogs while I’m away and woody made me feel so secure!!!! My dogs adored her and so do I!! They updated me throughout the day and sent personalized videos. They were attentive and listened carefully when I discussed my dogs and what they’re used to. You can tell she really cares. On a personal note - Woody is a bright light of a person, such a pleasure to have found them and met them for future dog sitting needs. Thank you Woody”
“I cannot say enough great things about Magdalena! She is the best pet sitter I could have ever hoped for. I was SO extremely nervous about leaving my 2 dogs and cat for 8 days when I went on a cruise, but Magdalena made me feel so comfortable. She came over and met me and my animals once before booking and then again a month later to the day before I left for the cruise, which was very nice of her and really put me at ease. While I was away, she was extremely responsive, communicative (and funny!) and sent me daily updates with pictures, which I also really appreciated. She went out of her way to make me and my animals happy and comfortable. She followed all of my directions to a T (2 typed pages! haha) and I came home to a house that was cleaner than I left it. My dogs were totally themselves when I got back and they are pretty sensitive, so I know they were happy/comfortable with her. Magdalena really went above and beyond my expectations and I could not be more grateful for her because it really improved my vacation having someone I like/trust in my home with my babies. There is absolutely NO DOUBT that I would use Magdalena again.”
“Alix was a dream to work with. We have a skittish Mastiff that usually takes awhile to warm up to people. Alix was able to earn our pup's trust in no time, which was peace of mind. On top of this, she provided frequent updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Our pups had such a wonderful time with Kiersten! She was so communicative with us throughout the stay and we always knew our pups were in great hands! One of our pups is very difficult on walks when she sees other dogs and Kiersten handled her so well! We cannot wait to rebook with her again :)”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Barton Creek is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barton Creek
I would like to thank Keniana for providing exceptional care for my two pugs during my recent holiday. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and regular updates, which let me relax and enjoy my time away. Knowing that Mr. Flynn and Ms. Scout were in such capable hands gave me peace of mind. The photos she shared showed that she cared for them as I would. If you are looking for someone who cares for animals as much as you do, I highly recommend choosing her for your next sit. Thank you so very much, Keniana!
Elle is truly one of a kind! She takes incredible care of our two dogs and our home!! She goes above and beyond in every way, is incredibly detail oriented, and keeps us updated everyday with messages, photos, videos, which gives us complete peace of mind while we're away! Our dogs adore her!!! We always come home to a spotless house and happy dogs!
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!
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!!
Wesley was absolutely fantastic from the very start! You can tell right away that he has spent plenty of time around dogs — his calm and confident demeanor made our pups feel safe almost instantly. One of our dogs usually barks at anyone who comes into the house, but to our surprise, she went straight to Wesley with zero hesitation. That told us everything we needed to know about how comfortable she felt with him! He not only took great care of our dogs but also kept our home safe and in perfect condition. Wesley is incredibly responsive, respectful, and professional — communication was always quick and clear. We felt at ease the entire time knowing everything was in good hands. We’re definitely going to be repeat customers and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets and home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Barton Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barton Creek on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barton Creek. 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 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 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.

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.
