“We are always so pleased with Amanda’s care and communication. We appreciate the daily updates, especially with our high maintenance dog who requires oral medication and insulin injections every day. We feel completely comfortable leaving Scarlet with her! Amanda also left our home nice and tidy for us to come home to.”
“Cortney took incredible care of Baxter and Bean. They were in great spirits when we got home from a week away and Cortney left the house spotless! We can’t wait for her to stay with our boys again!”
“Willow was amazing. I am always an overbearing pet parent to my kiddos and she was so sweet always answering my texts and sending me pictures every day. Truly the best!”
“August is the BEST pet sitter we’ve ever had (and we’ve had quite a few!) ⭐️ They are going to be our #1 choice from here on out. We’ve never felt so at ease with our fur babies in the hands of another. August sent more picture and video updates than we could have ever asked for, and even sent a daily summary video compilation (wow!!!). They responded lightning fast to every message. They asked all the right questions during the meet n greet and clearly paid attention to every last detail of our answers. It was evident that our babies were not only cared for, they were LOVED ❤️ August was even able to extend our last day when we unexpectedly wouldn’t arrive home on time, and offered to do an additional check in on top of that. And they washed the guest bedding for us! And brought in our trash can! And even left little crocheted parting gifts 🥹 We don’t have a single box that wasn’t checked. For real - AUGUST IS THE BEST 💖💖💖”
“Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for a little over two weeks while caring for our 23-year-old cat, Chloe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coming home to such a happy, relaxed kitty was the greatest gift. It was obvious Chloe was loved, well cared for, and never felt neglected while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home—it was absolutely immaculate when we returned. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything was in great hands. Brooke is trustworthy, kind, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would hire her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house and pet sitter!”
“Rasika was such a lifesaver for us. She stepped in last minute over a holiday and took incredible care of our dogs. She brought them treats, left the house spotless, and sent us daily updates and photos - which honestly did wonders for my anxiety haha. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and our pups were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Taking care of a 10 week old puppy, a 9 year old dog and two cats for a week is a tall order and Kate did a great job. She sent plenty of updates and photos. Would strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”
“Magdalena was a delight to work with! She and Fiver hit it off right away and made our night away from home a breeze. We are having work done on our house and Magdalena was super flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be calling her again. Thanks Magdalena!”
“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Woody was great to work with. Our dogs were very well cared for. Communication was consistent and helpful. Our house was really well taken care of. We look forward to having Woody stay with our dogs again.”
About: I’ve had a variety of experiences with dogs and cats! Feeding, baths, walks, and snuggles of course. I’ve worked with senior animals as well as adolescents. I’m working part time and am open to spending as much time as needed with your animals. My other work can be taken with me to different locations to availability is open. Your pets care is my number one concern. Whether it’s leash safety on a walk or double checking gates, doors and fences around the house.
“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.”
“Marley was a very kind and responsive sitter for our puppy over multiple nights. They got along great and the house was tidy when we returned home. She was also patient with our frequent texts and desire to see what he was getting up to because we missed him 🤣”
“Our first time leaving our pup, and Sidney did an excellent job with him and staying in our home. We messed up the dates, and she thoughtfully aligned on the spot and saved us a small nightmare! We will 100% rebook with her and feel at ease knowing Kongi is in good hands.”
“Hartley was an absolute joy. We had a sitter fall through (no major issue, just life stuff. Super understandable), and it left us with very little time to find a replacement before our trip. Hartley was responsive and eager to watch our dogs during our break, and she did an incredible job. The dogs were well taken care of, and she kept us informed about their day-to-day tasks. We would highly recommend if you need a sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barton Creek
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 $53.28 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 4,703 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
