“We had 100% trust in Ren and she did not disappoint. She took great care of Phoebe - the pictures she shared show just how comfortable she was and put us at ease while we were in Mexico getting married. We would easily recommend Ren and use her again without question.”
“Karen is a compassionate and intentional sitter. We arranged a meet and greet and we walked her through the house as she took notes and asked questions about everything/anything to care for our pup. She was available on relatively short notice (about a week) and Kona loved her! She gave us informative and sweet updates multiple times a day in the Rover app. She sent pictures of our girl so we knew she was comfortable and having fun. If you're looking for a reliable and responsible sitter to watch your fur babies, look no further. Karen will definitely be utilized for further sits!”
“Sophia dog sat in our house over Memorial Day weekend & was fantastic!! She sent several updates and photos daily. She was super responsive and our doggies seemed to be happy in her care! She left our house in great condition. She even volunteered to let out the dogs again after leaving due to our flight being delayed. Would highly recommend her for any dog sitting or drop-in needs!!”
“This was my first experience with an in-house dog sitter, and I was initially skeptical about having someone stay at my home for an extended period. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Kathleen's excellent service. She kept me updated on the status of my dogs, and they adored her. Additionally, she maintained the house in great condition. I will definitely hire her again when my husband and I go on a long trip. I highly recommend Kathleen for in-home dog sitting.”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job keeping my babies and home safe while I was away. She sent photos and little updates which I loved! Definitely will be having Rebekah help out if I need it again!!”
“Hannah was great with our two dogs, Harley and Prince! She was there when she said she’d be, did everything we asked, and even went above and beyond to trim one of our dog’s nails without her asking… thank you Hannah!”
About: I’ma a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Since I was young, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help care for their pets. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time making sure pets are happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I grew up around pets and currently help care for a Great Pyrenese and three cats so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I just moved back to Dallas after graduating from Texas Tech, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I am searching for a job! I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, multiple pets at once, and keeping up with feeding, walking, and cleaning routines. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a horse farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve always felt comfortable around animals of all sizes, including big dogs and pets with unique personalities or needs. I have 7+ years of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight stays, and I’ve cared for dogs with all different temperaments and energy levels. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable in their routine, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I have a 10 year old cat named Humphrey who is my absolute pride and joy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friends and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! I recently graduated college this April and have moved in with my parents in Northlake. I am currently job searching which means my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and love making part of my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm presence while you’re away, or someone to keep them company overnight, I’m happy to help. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable, attentive, and present for your furry friends when they need it most. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pets on their normal schedule: following feeding instructions, maintaining their routines, providing walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away! I understand that every animal is different, and I’m always mindful of their boundaries, energy level, and individual personality.
About: Animal lover with 10+ years of fostering experience for dogs and cats of all ages. I'm knowledgeable in senior animal care and medication administration. With 5 dogs and 10 cats of my own, I bring a deeply caring approach to every pet. My schedule is wide open and very flexible, so I'm available daily to help with your pets! I have open availability and have flexible working hours. I would more than love to ensure your pets are taken care of and loved on! Safety and comfortably are essential to me as a pet sitter and animal lover. I understand that with those a pet can truly be comfortable in the care of another.
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”
About: I have several years of experience working with all kind of four-legged friends! I’ve done overnight stays on several occasions, and am comfortable with any kind of animals. I am pet-CPR certified and currently have a senior dog, have experience bottle feeding newborns, administering medication, and have had cats my entire life. I’m currently pursuing an online school course, so I have an open schedule for anything you need me for; daily sitting, overnights, check ins, or walks! I have reliable transportation and availability to care for your house/pets whenever I’m needed. I’m able to read body language (such as signs of discomfort or boredom) to help me better understand what your furry friend needs; and I do so with care and attention.
About: I have been caring for my friends’ and neighbors’ pets for over three years, and I cherish every opportunity to care for them. I always prioritize the safety of both the home and the pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Note: The app automatically adds a $45/night extended stay fee when booking. My base rate is $30/night and I’ll remove the extended fee and only charge it if your trip runs longer than expected. I’m currently a college student with classes from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Outside of school hours, I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to dedicate my time to pet sitting, making sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. I always make sure that your pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I keep a close eye on your pets, and make sure they feel loved and secure at all times. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities.
“Incredible as always!! Appreciate her always going above and beyond. Being away from our babies is always tough but I really feel at ease anytime they are with Emily! Thank you for the surprise Polaroids waiting for us that I will seriously cherish forever!!”
“Paul was just fantastic. Sent updates and took wonderful care of our Dallas. No problems at all. Would highly recommend him to take care of ur fur baby. I will definitely use him again. Our Dallas enjoyed him a lot.”
About: My husband and I are empty nesters who love animals and enjoy traveling. Our current lifestyle is focused on living a long and quality life. We are in excellent health, physically fit, and omnivorous. My availability varies with the seasons and the length of the commitment for care. I am in a unique position to help with house/pet sitting, whether your needs are general or specific. Life is good and I love what I am able to do with animals. Both of us have been farmers at different times over the years, and we miss the animals the most. Our horses and Jersey cows were family pets, much to the chagrin of our Blue Heeler. I have much knowledge of caring for many animals besides dogs and cats. As investors and landlords, we have cared for and personally maintained over 50 different properties, including farms, apartments, houses, condos, and beachfront developments. We are formally retired from that activity but from those years of experience you should see that I am fully capable of caring for and maintaining any property you may share with your animal family. "Tu casa es mi casa, temporaria." Our most recent pet was an Australian Cattle Dog named EPR (pronounced "Eeper"). He was named after an aviation engine monitor that measured high thrust, a reflection of his high energy and always at the ready. EPR taught me a great deal about the needs of high-energy dogs. I am a member of other house and petsitting platforms of which I have years of experience with 5-star reviews. Many of those are repeat clients. Some of my references come from those clients. I love traveling and visiting different cities and international countries, with English as my native language and Spanish as a secondary language. I have been fortunate to live and travel in various countries, particularly in the Western Hemisphere. Outside of the Midwest USA (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas), our primary residences have been in Uruguay and Ecuador. I retired as a senior mainframe computer programmer. I love being outside and digging in the dirt. I even find time to volunteer at a local animal rescue center. Skill set includes (but not limited to): • Communication, listening, organizing, project planning, computer skills • Gardening, weeding, fertilizing, dead-heading, shrub trimming, lawn maintenance • Interior design, decorating, painting, installing ceramic tile, staging real estate property I am retired and can normally be available within a day or two notice unless I am already committed to another assignment at the time. My desire is to provide the utmost safety and dependable care for your animal in your home. My client reviews show that to be true.
“5 Stars – Excellent Care from Jose! We had a fantastic experience with Jose through Rover! From the start, he was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. Our dog felt comfortable with him right away, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jose kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious he truly cared and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. When we returned, our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for Jose’s kindness and reliability — we’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bartonville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bartonville on Rover is $53.5 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 5,027 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bartonville. 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 Bartonville 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 Bartonville 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 Bartonville 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 Bartonville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
