“Tracy was very responsible with our "high needs" kitties, including staying over at our house, 3 meals/day, and giving transdermal meds. The house was clean when we came home and she communicated consistently. Would definitely hire again. :)”

“Madeline was a wonderful sitter. She kept in contact with us daily and sent pics. She was great with Basil. She is going to sit for us again in a few weeks. I'm incredibly happy to have her looking after Basil.”

“A huge thank you to Claire and Corey who took such loving and attentive care of Moon and Hermione. You can immediately feel their passion and kindness — our two furry friends were truly pampered. We entrust them with our little ones with complete peace of mind and full hearts.”

“Jackie was so amazing with our dog Moxie. She stayed at our house for three days while we were out of town and everything went perfectly! She sent us so many great updates and was such a joy to have over. She’s respectful and tidy and clearly very caring. We’re absolutely going to keep having Jackie watch our pup. Queen!!”

“OMG! If I had any idea that Ashley existed years ago, I would’ve tracked her down and hired her full-time on standby just to be there for my boys! I also hesitate giving her a good review because I don’t want everyone to fill up her schedule! 🥹When we arrived home after a few days from our first trial visit (after the meet and greet where the boys expressed much happiness with her👍💙💙🐕🐕) the house was cleaner than we left, as were the boys! She even emptied the dishwasher and brushed Tiberius, the 170 lb fur monster of love!🐕💙 and Romeo, my 70lb angel ! Luckily, Ash is active woman, so the boys got to run and play and wrestle in our yard with her like I do with them….so the boys are SO happy!… and so are we 👍😁. In addition to the dogs, unfortunately we had a bit of chaos going on at our home while we were gone! The refrigerator broke down and there was construction in the front yard for a MAJOR landscaping project, and Ashley handled everything top notch with cheeriness, enthusiasm, and great communication. Updates photos and videos are always appreciated. Most definitely will be working with her again, in fact December is already booked! Cheers and thank you Ash!😁”

“Gosh, I can’t say enough positive things. I was very nervous about using Rover after a bizarre experience 7 years ago. I also have a lot of anxiety leaving my dog with anyone because she has a history of pancreatitis and the smallest thing can cause a flare up. Kat sent tons of pictures - pictures of the food, poop, playing, walks- all of which were very helpful at alleviating my worries and showing me that everything was ok, things were normal, Ziggy (my dog) was doing great. When I came home, I think Ziggy was actually disappointed I wasn’t Kat! 🤣 Definitely recommend Kat. She really went above and beyond 💜”

About: From working at the animal shelter, to returning a lost dog home, I love helping creatures big and small. I’ve always had the drive to make the lives, of people and animals alike, better through offering my time, knowledge, experience and a helping hand. In the summer of 2024 I had the opportunity to work alongside trained professionals at the animal shelter and witness the consideration and care that goes into animal care-taking. I was able to also work with smaller kittens, bunnies, alongside dogs from an assortment of sizes and breeds. From 2018-2023 my grandmother lived with my family; we were the caregivers. Especially during covid, I stepped up to help with more responsibilities concerning my grandmother. I learned so much patience and also so much about what a blessing it is to have the ability to care for others. I so deeply appreciate the opportunities I have to share a little bit of life with creatures of every kind:) I currently have no job, however I am applying for part-time positions. Along with that I do pursue performing arts so I set aside time for that accordingly. Having 4 dogs and a cat at home only supports my motivation to care for more animals. I have a lot of availability through the summer and possibly the fall. Weekly it varies but I will communicate any and all time changes. I have 4 dogs that are all friendly, and I’d keep them separate from any of your fur-babies just to ensure a smooth time. Our cat has yet to interact with another cat, but she seldom approaches the dogs. We are well equipped with dry food and doggie supplies. If any dietary restrictions are necessary I will adhere. When in the house of a client, I always ask lots of questions and make a shared notes tab. I will also make a group chat if desired by the client. I tend to tidy up the environment given, and if there are desires to keep things completely unchanged I have no problem with that.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Betsy! She is incredibly communicative and even sent plenty of pics of our 2 lovable mutts while we were away for three days. We are beyond grateful to have found Betsy.”


“Alexis was amazing with our kitties! We were very impressed by her attention to detail. She was great about sending us updates and pictures each day. We came home to a tidy house and happy kitties :). We will definitely be hoping she can do future stays!”

“Thank goodness for Adam. After our initial pet sitter fell through at the last minute for a holiday weekend Adam was available on a moments notice to watch our dog and two cats and even do a meet and greet beforehand as well. He’s was responsive, reliable and constantly sending updates and pictures. So we knew we left our pets in good hands. We returned to a clean and tidy home and happy and safe pets and we couldn’t be more appreciative. We would definitely book Adam again.”

“Natalia was awesome! She took great care of our pup while we were out for a few hours. She sent us pictures and updates and our little girl seemed to love her! She was very patient with us figuring out the app, was willing to come last minute, and was punctual in her arrival. We greatly appreciate her help with our baby and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Trustworthy, great with animals, and a pleasure to work with! I had to find a dog sitter at a moment's notice and came across Lisa's glowing reviews. I took a chance and I'm SO glad I did. She was extremely communicative sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Lisa was extremely professional, treated my house with great care, and did a FANTASTIC job with a little Schnoodle who wasn't sure what was happening. I will be booking Lisa whenever I need a dog sitter!”


About: Hello, my name is Jacinta & I have loved animals my entire life. Yes, I know, everyone says that, but my dads favorite story to tell anyone willing to listen is that when I was about 4/5 years old, I would constantly bug him and ask if we could get a dog. So to get me to stop asking, he told me sure, we could get a dog when I turn 10. Sure enough, when I turned 10, the first thing I asked was where my dog was. Shocked I still remembered he quickly came up with something else to distract me😅 We finally got our first family dog when I was a freshman in high school, then another when I was a sophomore. A spunky little chihuahua terrier, and a loving husky malamute mix. Later on my sister got a dog of her own, an incredibly smart red heeler who I babysat whenever possible. So I am extremely well versed in dogs big, small, and medium! My very first part time job was working at Petsmart in the doggie day care where I spent all day taking care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout college I would watch my roommates maltipoo while she went home for breaks. I would house/dog sit my friends pit-bull mix over the weekends whenever he was out of town. My senior year in college I even fostered a friend’s cat for almost a year! I am the first call when someone in my family is looking for someone to dog sit. I still occasionally house sit my cousins two American Eskimos or take them on walks whenever needed. My fiancé and I just got engaged and we are trying to save up some money for all the incoming expenses so what better way than to spend it with the things I love most! (Second to him😅) I work full time but am available week days after 4pm and most weekends! I am open to house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any of your babies needs! I would love to come play with your pets or come say hi, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am open to any and all suggestions and requests for care! I work full time but am available week days after 4pm and most weekends! I am open to house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any of your babies needs! I’ve had ample experience house sitting pets and will treat your home as if it were my own. My main objective is to make sure your fur baby feels safe and comfortable.
“This was the first time we had used Bertha and we were glad we did. She took such good care if our pets. Administered medication and made sure she knew their routine. Will definitely use her again.”

About: For the last 8+ years I have worked in dog kennels, boarding, training and shelter environments. I am focusing on gaining my trainer and/or handler certificate as well as animal CPR care. I am a professional dog walker so it's more than just a side gig for me; I take your dog's health, happiness and safety seriously. My visit to your pets will vary on their needs from just a potty break or feeding to an hour long hike. I am very detail oriented when it comes to communicating what services I have done from what meals or treats given, bowel movements and behavioral updates. I have experience with newborn puppies, elderly pups and reactive dogs. I may suggest a different walking harness or basic training methods if I feel it would be better for your pup; if I feel like I can't safely handle your dog I will do my best to help find a better fit. I am able to take up to 4 dogs in my car if all fit and get along. I love taking them out for hikes or parks but never off leash. I prefer visits no earlier than 8am or later than 6pm, but am willing to work with special requests. Currently serving the San Fernando Valley areas; Burbank, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Alhambra, Van Nuys, Sun Valley, etc. I currently have a rather open schedule for house visits, potty breaks, play visits, hikes and walks. I can not house any pets in my home but am available for in home pet sittings. I live in Burbank so can go about 20 miles radius depending on the care request. I try to stick with your usual daily schedule to help ease your pet's stress while you're away. I stay with any training requirements and diet restrictions. The only times I leave the home are for other pet care needed around town. I understand how stressful it is finding a new pet care friend and I value your trust more than anything. (Yes I will bring in your mail and packages of course!) I communicate daily with updated photos and texts. My rates are posted due to my years of experience and changing up my own life schedule to accommodate for your needs. I also don't mind taking care of plants too!

“Kimberly is the absolute best! She is so caring, sweet, and responsible! She also keeps me updated by providing updates with pictures/videos of my fur baby! Thank you Kimberly for everything! ♥️”


“Daisy was just wonderful. She took the time to come meet the girls and to see what the walk is like with a senior pup, she was kind and gentle and loving with both bunny (which was new for her,) and pup. Daisy was communicative, sent pictures, and was not afraid to ask for clarification when she had questions - something I so appreciate. I felt such confidence leaving both my girls and my home in her hands. She is great!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burbank
Alisa was absolutely amazing and took amazing care of our dog and two cats while we were away. She is highly communicative, responsive, and proactive in every way possible. She gave us incredible peace of mind while we were on a week long vacation, taking care of our home and pets. We cannot recommend Alisa highly enough, she is absolutely outstanding!

Sharon was really wonderful! This was our first time using a pet/house sitter. We were very nervous about it and Sharon gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation. From the start, she had great communication. Our large dog and tortoise were well taken care of with check ins each day and our house was too. She even threw her sheets and towels in the wash and dryer, and took out the trash before heading out. We had happy pets when we returned and are so excited to have a reliable and caring person to use in the future.

Jackie was so amazing with our dog Moxie. She stayed at our house for three days while we were out of town and everything went perfectly! She sent us so many great updates and was such a joy to have over. She’s respectful and tidy and clearly very caring. We’re absolutely going to keep having Jackie watch our pup. Queen!!

Kendi has been watching our dogs for a while now and always takes such amazing care of them. One of our dogs had cancer and she would follow all of the instructions and we felt better about leaving them in her care. After our dog passed she left us a nice note and flowers while watching our other dog. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burbank
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burbank on Rover is $44.4 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 13,850 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burbank. 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 Burbank 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 Burbank 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 Burbank 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 Burbank. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
