“Carolyn was great with our 10 month old pup who has separation anxiety from us. She played and walked her and let us know she was doing well to put us at ease while we were out. It was very sweet and we returned to a happy pup.”
“Maddy did a drop in visit to walk my dog and feed the dog and cat their dinner, and she was fantastic. She showed up right on time, sent updates and pictures, and was overall reliable and communicative. I would 100% recommend her and rehire her in the future.”
“Corey was lovely- a friendly, gentle soul. Sent pictures and didn’t try to become too fast friends with our kiddish girl. Just allowed her to be and they hung out great together.”
“This was the second time ever leaving my dog with someone and I was so blessed to have gotten Niki as a sitter. So grateful she available on Halloween and that she provided the absolute best care. She sent me over a dozen pics and I couldn’t be more thankful! 🙏🏼”
“My cats and I are so happy to have found Ash! She is so capable and communicative - one of my cats has health problems that require medicine throughout the day, and Ash took great care to follow all instructions and keep me posted along the way. We’d love to have her back for future cat-sitting / housesitting needs!”
“We were so happy with how well Tracy did with our two cats. Our boy kitty, who has always been exceptionally shy around guests and especially sitters, warmed up to cuddle with her very quickly. Tracy was very respectful of our space too, which has an overwhelming amount of specialized gear. We returned home to very happy, comfortable cats, who wanted to cuddle immediately, something which never has happened with sitters that we've had before. Tracy also gave very detailed updates about the goings on of both our cats as well. Highly recommended and if we are lucky, we will definitely book with her again.”
“I had Jacqueline stay with my baby Reggie over the weekend while I was out of town. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She really went above and beyond for Reggie with the questions she asked and long walks. Reggie also really seemed to like her and was comfortable. I also really trust her in my home while I’m gone. Highly recommend everyone book Jacqueline!”
“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!”
“Katherine was great. She knew how to comfort our little guy when he got anxious as we were leaving, took great care of him, and continually kept us updated.”
“Lindsey was awesome! I get super nervous when I leave my dog so I loved how attentive she was to all my instructions with him. I could tell from all the pictures she sent that he absolutely loved her 😊 I will definitely be booking her again!”
“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.”
“Victoria was amazing! She watched my two cats and dog overnight at my house for five nights and it felt like I left them with a trusted friend or family member. She gave tons of care and attention to the pets and sent me daily updates and photos of them. I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely rebook with peace of mind that my pets will be happy and healthy while I am away.”
“I’m so grateful I found Grace as a sitter! The pets loved her. I was really appreciative of all the consistent she sent while I was on my trip. She was really attentive to what the pets needed and asked questions when necessary (really important to me). I also loved that she did care enough to set up a time to meet the pets and make sure she the right fit for them. I can tell she really loves animals. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I needed another sitter!”
“Adrianne is awesome! We have an anxious reactive dog who is scared of strangers, but Adrianne was very patient and calm with him as he got used to her. We had recurring drop-ins to get our dog comfortable before Adrianne housesat for us, and she was great at communicating - she would let us know in advance if she couldn’t make it on particular drop-in day and was flexible about rescheduling. Our dog also takes medication daily and she was great with that. She sent daily updates and let our place very clean and organized. Definitely recommend and would book her again!”
“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! ♥️”
“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!”
“Lauren was great with both my elderly dog and my sometimes-skittish cat. They both loved her and we felt confident that they were being really well taken care of. She sent us lots of photos and videos to see how everyone was doing. She's both very sweet and responsible. I would definitely recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burbank
Carrie is the best!! She took such good care of my babies while I was away. Her communication was above and beyond, and she was so responsive. She followed all my instructions but also asked great questions that led to better care and understanding. I felt so at peace on my vacation with Carrie looking after my pets. It’s so hard for me to leave my doggo, but I feel like he had such a great time with Carrie, and it really put my mind at ease. I will definitely rebook with Carrie.
What a giant blessing Kendi is to my little pack! She was wonderful with three very different personality filled pups and each of their needs. She was patient with my newly adopted and somewhat reactive guy, accommodating to my post op senior and lovingly patient with me gal who loves her back scratches on every single lawn! I loved and appreciated the many photos, walk updates and questions if anything was unclear and her willingness to extend the care when my flight went haywire. Thank you Kendi!!! Your care is so incredibly appreciated and we hope to have you back soon!
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.

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.
