“Cortney watched our cat and dog for 12 nights and came home to a tidy home and happy pets! She was gracious enough to stay an extra night for us when we missed our flight and were stranded in another city for a night. Thank you Cortney!!!”
“Sidney was amazing! She stayed at our house and took great care of our two dogs, Moose and Tobie. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. It’s clear she’s responsible, caring, and loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 💕”
“As always, Amanda was wonderful with our dogs. She dealt with very hot days and walked our dogs accordingly, accommodated very finicky eating habits, and even cleaned up after a late-night throw up situation. She was communicative, came for a meet-and-greet before the booking (even though she's met them before, which was greatly appreciated), and sent lovely photos. Will definitely book again!”
“Such a kind soul. Sara arrived in time and was quick to follow instructions and easy to talk to, even though there was company present on arrival. The pups were at ease and were relaxed and happy when I returned home. Highly recommend.”
“Taylor is amazing! She took care of my two dogs at my house while I was out of town and communicated everyday as to how things were going. They were going great as proven by the photos she sent me. When I came home, the house was just as I left it and the dogs were calm and happy. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”

“We loved having Kate watch our two cats! She took such great care of them and kept us updated over our trip! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their little ones!”
“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!”
“Geoff was great and I’m so glad he was able to house sit my husky, Jacob, when I had to travel to a conference at the last minute. He constantly sent updates with pics and videos and I could tell my pup was a very happy boy to have a friend to play with while I was gone for three day. I highly recommend Geoffrey and would use his services again.”
“We had to make a day trip to LAX to pick up the mother in law (ugh). So naturally who else to best watch over the little ones than Carolina?! We always know the house and the kids will be well cared for under her watch. Thank you as always Carolina!”
“Cassidy was an absolute lifesaver! Our sweet Emma came down with a bad stomach bug, and we had to book care with only about 3 hours’ notice. Cassidy not only accepted the last-minute request but showed up right on time, ready to help before we had to head out to a concert. She took wonderful care of Emma while we were gone and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you, Cassidy 🐾”
“Haley handled our little ball of energy/chaos like a pro! I always get a little nervous leaving her with a new sitter, but Haley very quickly eased that with some pictures/videos and explanations of how she handled Murphee’s anxiety triggers. Very pleased and we came home to a happy pup!”
“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”
“Cassie stayed at our house for 2 long stretches recently to watch our pup Lucy. She was extremely communicative, sent so many lovely updates of Lucy (thank you for all the great photos!), and left the house incredibly clean and clearly well taken care of. I hope she will watch Lucy again soon!”
“Joely was so amazing with our pets! Super communicative and sent a lot of photos and updates! I felt 100% comfortable with her watching them. I will definitely have her watch them next time we 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barton Creek. On Rover:
- 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.
