“Cortney is an angel! She took the best care of our little girls and home while we were on vacation. She took our pups on adventures and gave us lots of updates with pictures/videos. Would highly recommend Cortney to anyone that needs a gem of a human to look after your fur babies. ❤️❤️”
“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 Awesome! I would highly recommend her. Right before we left, we lost our baby Abby. Amanda was great and made sure to give her sister Snooks lots of love and attention as she has never been with out her sister Abby. She stayed at our house and made sure snooks was as happy as possible going on walks and giving her lots of love. Amanda sent us lots of pictures and messages letting us know how snooks was doing. Thank you so much for watching Snooks and making sure she had a friend during this difficult time.”
“Absolutely wonderful job. So many great updates and extra time taken to send videos and photos. She also asked great initial questions about traits and habits I wouldn’t have thought to bring up. Would hire again”
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“Magdalena went up and beyond. I was nervous leaving my dog. Magdalena eased my mind at the meet and greet. She sent pics and cute texts every day. She cleaned the house, which wasn't expected, yet appreciated. When I came home my dog didn't care I was there. She's probably wondering where Magdalena was. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I've had pet dogs for decades and I am the representative for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel rescue USA for central texas, helping rehabilitate abandoned dogs. I have three pet dogs and much of my time is dedicated to their care. Fortunately I work from home so I can walk them and care for them. I have a fenced in yard and I walk my dogs every day. I have a fenced in yard and walk my dogs every day to ensure they have enough exercise. And I work from home so they get plenty of attention.
“Corey was absolutely fantastic! He stayed in our home for a week looking after our Vizsla, Nellie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. He took wonderful care of her, kept us updated with photos and messages, and treated our home with the utmost respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thanks again, Corey.”
“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!”
“Lucy was an amazing cat sitter! She was great with communication from start to finish, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and took wonderful care of our cats. She also left our house spotless, which we really appreciated. On top of that, she’s incredibly sweet and kind, making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lucy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Iva watched our two pugs and older dog Pixie while we were out of town on vacation. When we returned, the house was immaculate and the dogs super well taken care of. While we were gone, she sent us pictures and updates on a daily basis. She was a true treasure to find, and she will now be the only one we leave our pups with when we’re away. She’s super communicative and loving and we were incredibly lucky to have found her!”
“Woody was SO great we with our buddy Shiner! They sent us constant photos while we were away on an 8 day trip while they watched our home/dog. They were super communicative about everything, and even put all linens in the washer/dryer, and tidied up the whole house before they left. You could just tell they LOVE dogs, and took incredible care of our Shiner while we were gone :)”
“Kate was amazing. She stayed overnight to care for our cat while we were away. She was very communicative, responsible, and took great care of our cat. I highly recommend.”

“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”

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!
Elle is absolutely the best! She keeps us updated daily with photos and videos, and her attention to detail is incredible. Our house is always cleaner than when we left, and our dogs absolutely adore her! It’s such a comfort to travel knowing our dogs are happy, loved, and receiving the very best care.
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 $52.31 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,671 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.
