“Madeline was such a great doggy sitter! I have two pups, both with their own special personalities (one is a little shy and anxious and the other is a little reactive to strangers). She came to do a meet and greet so they would feel comfortable the day of, and she was so patient and sweet with them. She was very attentive and listened to all the details we were sharing with her. She seemed super confident and experienced. For the day of (we were actually getting married!), we did not have to worry one bit about them and she sent us many cute pictures to update us on how they were doing. They looked at ease :) Would definitely recommend her and will contact her again if we ever need a dog sitter. :)”
“Ashley was great! She was very communicative and sent lots of updates on my cat, Gigi. I really felt like I could trust her and Gigi seemed well taken care of and happy when I got home. I would definitely have Ashley watch her again!”
“I think I’ve already left Nare a review, but it bears repeating. She’s great! She takes wonderful care of the critters and they love her to bits. Super communicative and I always rest easy knowing the kids are in very capable hands!”
“Gold stars all around. We have a senior cat who is clearly happy when we return home. Our dog is a simple girl and is obviously adored on when we are gone. Couldn’t be happier with Hayley.”
“Brigette was wonderful! She stayed at our house for a week and took great care of both our pups and our home. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind and made us feel confident that our dogs were happy and well cared for. She also went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used and leaving the house in great condition. It was so nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean house. We would absolutely book Brigette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”
“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.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our boy, Socks! Lane treated him like he was her own and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent us daily updates with the sweetest pictures and kept us informed about everything…from how much he was eating to making sure he got all of his supplements. Socks can definitely be a little stubborn sometimes, so it made us smile when she told us how sweet he was. It was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for with her. We're so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and we can’t wait to book with Lane again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy! 🐾💕”
“Another great sit with Hannah! She is so kind to our dear animals. A very conscientious housesitter. Didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were away.”

“We are so incredibly grateful to Alisa for taking such wonderful care of our three pets while we were away. She was extremely responsive, reliable, and handled everything with great independence, which gave us real peace of mind. What impressed us the most is that even our very shy kitten, who usually keeps her distance, slowly warmed up to Alisa and even approached her — something that truly means a lot to us. We absolutely recommend Alisa without hesitation. Thank you again for everything!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Richard provided for our boys while we were away. He went above and beyond to ensure they were well looked after, and it was clear from the moment we returned that our dogs had bonded with him. They were so attached that they even wanted to follow him when he left! Richard is attentive, reliable, and truly has a way with pups. We felt completely at ease knowing our boys were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Peanut is so happy to see Margarita when she comes over. She is dependable and has great quick communication. Even when my work plans change last min she is understanding! It’s a joy and relief to have someone like her being able to watch my little puppy with patience :)”
About: About Me- Hi! I’m Izzy, I’m 18, and I’ve had a dog my whole life, so being around dogs and helping care for them is a normal part of my everyday life. I love cats and dogs, and I can understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m responsible, patient, active, and very attentive. I also have experience with other animals, occasionally babysitting, working as a camp counselor, and helping as a dance assistant/teacher, so I’m used to being trusted with responsibility and following instructions carefully. I’m happy to take your pups on walks, spend time with them, make sure they have their food and water, and follow whatever routine they’re already comfortable with. I’m also patient with pets who may need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I’m very communicative and can send you pictures and updates so you always know how your pup is doing. I’ll treat your pet, your home, and your instructions with respect and make sure your little one feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. Availability- My schedule varies depending on school and work, but I’m available for walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the day. I keep my availability updated and will always be clear about what times I can commit to. Im currently working part-time as a student and dancer. On the weekends on usually work after 1pm and I don’t work during the weekdays, but I have dance rehearsals in the evenings. With your instructions, I will follow the steps to safely execute the care your little one needs. I can send updates with pictures or videos if desired.
“Emily did a great job watching my dog Theo. I was looking for someone to do some drop in visits last minute when my usual sitter fell through and the entire process was super seamless. My dog gets anxious easily meeting new people and coming home each day to a relaxed pup was a major relief. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Sarah was so lovely to work with and truly such a pleasure!!! She took care of my German Shepherd, two cats, and house sat for me and took care of my place on short notice and was truly so professional, easy to work with, and treated my pets so great!!! She kept me updated the entire time, gave a lot of care to my animals, and I would definitely work with her again anytime. 🙏 Thank you so much Sarah!”
“The absolute best dog sitter we've ever had! Have never felt more comfortable, safe, and secure with someone looking after our dog. We have a senior dog who requires a lot of special attention and care, especially in regards to medication and allergies, as well as very frequent bathroom breaks. Elizabeth sent us multiple updates and photos throughout the day and regularly informed us of their schedule. They stuck to our routine and ensured a very happy pup! They even went out of their way to water our plants and wash our sheets without us asking. So extremely kind and caring, couldn't think of anyone better to watch our dog while we were away!”
“Ahliyah was an amazing pet sitter! She was great with communication, sent lots of pictures and videos daily, and left my home clean and tidy. I felt very safe and secure leaving both of my pets in her care. I highly recommend booking Ahliyah!”

Carrie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior pug. Simon can be a little shy when meeting people in the beginning, and she quickly won him over. This was our first time leaving Simon home alone, but Carrie put us at ease with regular updates and pictures. Simon clearly enjoyed his time with Carrie! We are thrilled to have found someone we can trust to watch our boy while we’re away. Thank you, Carrie!
Victoria was absolutely wonderful! We had a scary situation where our rescue pup managed to open a window, push out the screen and jump from a two-story height! Victoria handled the whole situation quickly and efficiently (calling us immediately, using the air tag to locate our girl and taking her to the animal hospital for evaluation, and transferring her to another facility for treatment). Thank you so much, Victoria, for handling such a very difficult situation, and being flexible through the whole process. No one could have predicted our pup’s ability to open a window! We knew Maple was in good hands with you!
Dee was truly amazing! I swear he might actually be a dog whisperer. My dog Blossom absolutely loved him and was so happy and comfortable with him. He was incredibly communicative while I was away, and I felt completely comfortable and assured the entire time knowing my dog and my home were in such good hands. He sent thoughtful updates, was attentive to everything, and clearly cared about making sure Blossom was happy and well taken care of. He also took incredible care of my home and left it even better than he found it. It’s rare to find someone you feel this comfortable trusting with both your pet and your home. I would have him back in a heartbeat and highly recommend you reach out to him!
Lauren was great! She was kind, communicative, and it was clear that Tony really enjoyed his time with her. She checked in with us when she had a question and kept us updated throughout her stay with photos, which we loved. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and we always felt like Tony was in great hands. We will definitely book with Lauren again!
Jackie took such wonderful care of Snowball while we were away. Snowball is 16 years old and has special needs, so leaving her is never easy. Jackie was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive. She followed all of Snowball’s routines, kept us updated with photos and messages, and treated her like family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Snowball was in such loving hands. We came home to a happy, comfortable pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond for our sweet girl. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. We will absolutely book with her again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
