“SJ was very good at communicating and sending pictures and text updates. She was good with our animals and very patient with multiple texts when one of our cats went walkabout(they are indoor/outdoor). She eventually came back💜. Her prices are fair according to your needs. We needed house sitting and that was hard to find for 12 days. Thankfully SJ was available and reliable. We are grateful for her help because that is a long time to leave your fur babies.”
“Fantastic dog sitter. I could tell Keah enjoyed working with my puppy, and she went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home. I would absolutely recommend Keah to anyone looking for pet sitting. Keah was responsive to messages and routinely gave updates and pictures.”
“Aubrianna did a great job caring for our two cats and Home. She sent pictures several times throughout the week giving us additional peace of mind! We would definitely hire her again!”
“Jessie watched our two dogs for a couple of days while we were out of town. The power went out at night while she was here and she managed the situation very well. Our dogs looked happy and healthy upon our return. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Austin took great care of our high maintenance seniors. He hardly left them alone and took them on way more walks than we asked. He was super communicative and sent plenty of pics. He was also very respectful of our house.”
“Reed did a great job taking care of our older German Shepherds and house sitting for us. He took the dogs on walks and played fetch with them. I loved the pics he sent. Will definitely use him again!”
“Addie was exceptional in every way. She asked questions, followed my instructions and constantly kept me updated on Bella. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Mary was amazing! She was very communicative with our dog and we never had to worry. She also was very respectful of our home and our rules. We will be using her again!”
“5/5 — Absolutely Amazing Experience with Rose! Rose was incredible! She took care of our pets for two weeks and went above and beyond every single day. She sent multiple updates and photos daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed my detailed written instructions perfectly and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. Not only is Rose professional and trustworthy, but she’s also thoughtful — she left our home spotless before she left! It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I got my first dog in elementary school, and ever since then I’ve never had less than two pets at a time. I often bring home dogs I find on the street and take care of them until I can find them a suitable home. I have experience pet sitting dogs of both small and large sizes, and am willing to work my schedule around your pups typical habits. I currently have a very flexible part-time schedule and am also currently enrolled in online college courses. This gives me the ability to structure my day around your pet’s needs. I volunteer with animals on Tuesday evenings, but if those times collide we can work it out. :) I do my best to over communicate if I notice anything going on with your pet that might be cause for concern. If there is no backyard that’s okay, I am more than happy to walk pets multiples times a day. If I am staying overnight I usually do a thorough cleaning of the floors before I leave. I am willing to water plants, take out trash cans, scoop litter, etc.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and I have experience cared for all breeds and personalities. I give love and I have patience. Pet care hours for me can be 1pm to 4pm Monday-Wednesday and all day Sunday, I’m currently a college football player who does this in his free time. Just to spend time with animals while not being busy with sports. When I take care of pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep your dogs dailyroutine consistent and stress-free. I respect your space and follow all your instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication or favorite toys. I believe dogs feel most comfortable in their own environment so I take extra care to make things feel normal while you’re away.
“Amber came for a meet and greet which I think is so important. She asked questions and sent pics while I was away. I felt so much more relaxed knowing she was here. And she even fixed a door handle that was broke ?.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and horses of every kind since I was 10. I've never had a period of my life without at least several dogs, cats, reptiles, and dozens of other creatures. I worked in a busy, understaffed animal shelter for 10 years as the head trainer, walker, and advocacy and social media manager. I grew up on a farm taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes, and I'm currently a science major in college working towards spending my future working with animals and conservation. I'm currently working part-time, so your pets are my sole priority! I'm available for walking, sitting, bathing, or just hanging out with your pets! I also offer beginner and intermediate obedience training for dogs only. My pets are members of my family, and I treat every pet as if it were my own. Your pets are my highest priority, and their comfort, safety, and well-being is extremely important to me. You know your pet better than anyone, and I will always follow YOUR instructions and schedule when caring for your pet.
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner ever since I can remember, I’m a small town farm boy turned insurance agent. My weekends are generally free for the most part as my kids are grown, so I’d love to watch critter kids when you need me. I am an insurance agent during the week. My weekends are available to house and pet sit. I recently lost the love of my life, my corgi Sadie. So, I would love to help with your furry kids. I don't currently live where I can keep your pets at my place, but I will gladly take care of your furry kids at their home.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as i can remember! We got my childhood dog when i was 3 and I took care of him myself til he sadly passed at 15. I also have taken care of many different types of cats and dogs and have my own kitty named mikel! I recently quit my serving job, so i’m available everyday all day! Your pets deserve the best 24/7 care and I’m here to provide that while your gone! I’d appreciate a list of vets/vet phone numbers, favorite walking spots, and any other info or preferences! I’d love to make your pets as comfortable as possible and help you relax while your gone knowing your babies are getting the best care!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mule Barn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 405 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mule Barn. 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 Mule Barn 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 Mule Barn 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 Mule Barn 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.

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.
