“Moira showed our two kitties wonderful care and affection, and kept us updated with a detailed note on their care and behavior, as well as photos from every visit. The cats, normally very shy of strangers, took to Moira from their very first meeting. We had no doubt that they were in excellent hands while we were away. We will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Drew was very professional, timely and communicated well! She would always take pictures and would update us if our puppy was eating etc. i would recommend her and book her again!”
“Norah was amazing! She was very friendly and my dog took to her right away. I had to make some late alterations because my dog is diabetic and she worked with me to get everything handled. She really went above and beyond and she took great care of my girl! 🙌🙌 I will book again with her!”
“Fantastic!! Excellent communication. Very thoughtful and detail oriented. My two Maine coons are shy, but they took right to Mariana. I felt at ease knowing they were in such great care. Mariana will definitely be my first choice Rover next trip.”
About: I've always had pets of my own as well as taken care of pets that friends, neighbors, and family have asked me to help out with. I love taking dogs out on walks and cuddling new feline friends. I care for any pet just as lovingly as I do my own. I'm figuring out my next move in life and hoping to surround myself with things that make me happy, which definitely includes pets! I’ll be home here in Austin for at least 2-3 months. In my own home, we've always placed importance on our pets being active. If you have a dog that needs to get out on a daily basis or just needs to be played with around the house, I am so happy to be there for those needs. If your cat just loves to be given attention, I'm your girl! Consistency in a pets food and water routine is also a priority. Sending picture updates while you're away is something I love to do.
“Claudia was so great! We have 3 medium to large dogs and she cared for them overnight. You can really tell Claudia has tons of experience with dogs and loves them. One of our dogs had just got neutered recently and she followed all care instructions, giving him extra attention! We look forward to hiring her again!”
“Lara did a fantastic job watching our cats. She was very responsive and communicated daily with updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her! We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again!!”
“🌟 Kimberly was absolutely amazing with our German Shepherd! 🐾❤️ She did such a wonderful job, and we felt so comfortable knowing our fur baby was in great hands. She was caring, reliable, and went above and beyond. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐶💕”
About: I’ve done pet sitting since I was in high school where I watched many neighbors dogs. In this time I’ve found that Rover is a terrible service to get for your dog. Find any other service as it’s better than Rover. Your pup will be well taken care of daily. I will be working primarily on pet sitting and can dedicate a lot of my time to your pup. Happy to send plenty of photos of them enjoying their day and playing with their favorite toys. The main goal I have is to understand your expectations and to exceed them. I know how much I care about my own pet and will extend the same love and care to all your pets.
“Jeremy was exceptional!! …with me & my pets :) I was nervous using this service for the first time, and he did a tremendous job putting me (and my 3 pets) all at ease. He sent updates & pics regularly - It felt wonderful knowing they were so well taken care of for my 5 days away! Thank you, Jeremy!”
About: Hola everyone! My name is Lyana, and I wanted to share my wonderful experience as a pet and house sitter companion. As someone who adores animals and has a knack for taking care of homes, this role has been a perfect fit for me. I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and even some exotic animals. Each furry or feathery friend has brought so much joy into my life. One of the things I love most about being a pet and house sitter companion is the opportunity to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. Whether it's playing fetch with a lively pup or curling up on the couch with a purring cat, the love and companionship they provide is truly heartwarming. It's incredibly fulfilling to know that I'm making a positive impact on their lives while their family is away. In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, house sitting allows me to explore different neighborhoods and communities. I've had the chance to discover beautiful parks, scenic hiking trails, and charming local spots, all while ensuring the safety and security of the homes I'm entrusted with. It's like having a mini adventure every time I take on a new house sitting assignment. I enjoy engaging in stimulating conversations with the pets or providing a calm and peaceful environment through yoga and meditation, I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for both the animals and the home. Being a sunrise person, I love starting my day bright and early, ready to tackle any tasks that come my way. This allows me to provide the utmost care and attention to the pets and house, ensuring that everything runs smoothly during the owners' absence. Outside of my pet and house sitting duties, I have a passion for baking, hiking, traveling, and freelance work. These interests keep me inspired and motivated, and I'm always eager to share my experiences and tips with others. If you're in need of a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet and house sitter companion, I would be honored to be of service. Rest assured that I will treat your pets and home with the utmost care and respect, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. Kindly reach out to me to discuss your needs. I'm currently available to house/pet sit, and dog walking most days. We are flexible with time & days! Reach out to discuss any details for my services offered. I follow the routine of your home. My love and care for the pets is to always welcome them and watch them joyfully interact and be fully engaged in their world :)
“Rebecca was so attentive to our pup while we were away. She followed our instructions and was great about sending photo and video updates! We will definitely book Rebecca for future dog sitting!”
“Jessica was fantastic with Gremlin over the long weekend! She kept me updated with plenty of photos, ensured Gremlin was well-fed and well-loved, and maintained excellent communication throughout. It was clear that Gremlin was in good hands. I highly recommend Jessica for anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I grew up through my teen years as the neighborhood pet sitter in my small town. I’ve been known for spending quality time with the animals and getting to know their personalities. Pets deserve top tier care, they need to feel loved and cared for. I can provide that care. I work evenings, so I am available during the day, and overnights. I work shorter shifts than most (5-6 hrs). I can make sure your pet is taken care of Clean up any messes left behind by me or the pet. Try to leave a place better than I found it. Make sure food and water are stocked.
About: Friends, and friends of friends, trust me with their pets, and that trust is something I take seriously. I’m a regular house sitter for people who want their animals cared for in their own home while they’re away on vacation, with their routines kept just the way they like them. Active dogs are my favorite companions. Friends hire me to walk and run with their high-energy pups, and since I’m heading out for my own run anyway, your dog gets an enthusiastic partner who genuinely loves the miles. I’ve also stepped in when life got complicated. I’ve taken in friends’ pets during the birth of a new baby and those busy first three months at home, and I’ve cared for animals during a cross-city move until they could safely join their families in their new home. Whether it’s a weekend trip or a big life transition, your pets get steady, loving care from someone who treats them like family. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to stop by whenever your cat needs me. I can schedule visits around your cat’s feeding and medication times and adjust easily if your plans change. For longer trips, I’m happy to house sit so your cat has company and their routine stays the same. I’ve cared for many cats for friends and friends of friends, and I know that cats feel most secure at home with their routines intact. Whether I’m stopping in for a check-in or staying in your home while you travel, I keep feeding times, litter care, and play just the way your cat is used to. I respect each cat’s personality, giving space to the shy ones and plenty of attention to the cuddlers. I’ll also keep an eye on appetite, behavior, and anything that seems off, and send you updates and photos so you know your cat is relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs and cats of my own for most of my life since I was 6. I have a strong passion for working with pets and one day I would love to have my own animal care business. I have more experience with cats but I also have experience with dogs. I work well with young to old dogs and cats. I’m currently a full time student and I take classes online. I also work during the day at the mall part time but I am available to stay overnights if needed. I always make sure to follow any personal instructions or rules. I will always respect anyone’s homes and pets as I would always want someone to do the same for me! I also will make sure everything is clean before I leave from your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barton Creek
Absolutely amazing! Michelle is the best sitter we’ve ever had. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she was. Our girls really liked her from the beginning and she went above and beyond with their care. I felt calm and very relieved to have found her. Highly recommend!
Mara was great with our cats from the moment she arrived for the meet and greet. Both cats were friendly with her on day one, which isn’t typical for our cats. One or both of them usually takes a moment to warm up to new people. That put me at ease right away. I appreciated how thorough she was in asking questions to understand our cats’ needs while we were out of town. We were gone for two weeks, and Mara dropped in each day and stayed a few nights. When we came home, our cats were happy and healthy, and our home was well maintained. She even offered to water our plants while we were away, so those were happy and healthy when we returned as well! We’d absolutely book with Mara again. She gave us peace of mind while we were away from home so we could enjoy our time with family and be present.
Kali accepted a last minute request for sitting my 2 elderly Great Danes and she was excellent. She fed them, played with them, sent me excellent reports on their activities and conditions. Additionally, she did some cleanup and although she didn’t mention it, I’m sure it was significant (Great Danes - need I say more?). I will happily use her again.
Karla was an absolute lifesaver when I had a busy work week and my fiancé was out of town. She was so easy going, she never had any issue with my ever changing requests or our elaborate remote home entry set up. Our puppy loved her and the photo updates kept me going whilst I was at my desk Highly recommend !!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Barton Creek is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 7,554 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barton Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
