“Tracy is AWESOME! She watched our puppy Frankie for the first time this weekend and was so amazing with her! Frankie can be shy and nervous, but she immediately fell in love with Tracy. We got photos, videos and updates throughout her stay which made us so happy (we missed our little gremlin the whole time we were away). Tracy also has experience fostering and taking care of animals who are high anxiety/need special care, so we knew she would be safe in her care. HIGHLY recommend!”
“A huge thank you to Corey and Claire for taking care of Moon and Hermione over the weekend. Communication was very easy and respectful. Your messages and photos really reassured me, and I could see how attentive you were to them. The apartment was spotless when you left. We found Moon and Hermione very calm and content when we returned. I’m really glad to have found such wonderful pet sitters, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again in the future. Thank you again for everything! 😊”

“This is the second time Katherine housesat for our dog and she was great! Our dog is anxious and reactive to strangers so we had Katherine come for a few drop ins beforehand so our dog could get used to her. She was very patient with him and got him to trust her. During her housesit, she sent us very frequent updates and communicated well. She left our apartment very organized and even washed the bedsheets she used! Would definitely recommend and book 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!”
“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!”
“Ariel goes above and beyond with the care of the animals and the upkeep of the house. She communicates very well and sends amazing pictures of the animals. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Cordy was wonderful! Responsive, reliable, on time, sent updates/photos of my fur baby, and took very good care of him. Everything you want in a sitter. We'll definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years and genuinely love being around them and caring for their needs such as bathing, feeding, walking and play time. Currently I have a lot more of free time to accommodate your schedule when it comes to caring for your fur baby. I’m available weekdays and weekends I have two friendly dogs that can play with and keep your fur baby company and I’m also available for all day care for walk, feedings and everything else in between
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals most of my life. Small to large I love them all. There is nothing better than happy pet. I am retired with time to walk your dogs, drop in for visit or stay overnight. Very reliable and conscientious with their well being in mind. I live with three cats, all of whom are very vocal and fill my days listening to many kitty demands for attention, playtime, more treats (always—hard to resist sometimes!), and an earlier dinner time. I find a lot of joy spending time with each of their personalities, whether it’s sunning on the line furniture outside with Harry, taking Gus for supervised explorations around the backyard in his harness, or giving in to Valentine’s demand that her puzzle box be refilled with treats. In your home, I will follow whatever guidance you offer for your pets’ wellbeing based on their routines, behavior, and personality. I believe in sticking to the schedule they’re used to, as this will offer them continuity and stability even when they’re missing their family! Ideally, I like to schedule an in-person meeting prior to the start of my stay or first visit so we can go over your pets’ needs and any questions you might have. While I’m in your home, I will care for it as if it were my own. You can relax while you’re away knowing I am looking out for your furry family and your home.
About: I've cared for all kinds of dogs, from Yorkies to Newfoundlands, and fostered over a dozen small dogs in my condo, including dogs with medication needs and recovering from surgery. I have a flexible schedule, so when I dogsit, I live on their routine-walks, playtime, cuddles, whatever helps them feel normal when their family is away! I'm a writer working on a novel, so my schedule is extremely flexible around the pets'! I can make most house-sits work and keep them on their routine I'm happy to stay in your home with your pets overnight, to minimize disruption for them. I can also get mail, water plants, or do other simple housekeeping tasks
“Victoria was a great pet-sitter! Communication was easy and pleasant, and she took wonderful care of our pets. Moon and Hermione were truly spoiled in our absence. I warmly recommend her!”
“Georgina was absolutely exceptional while caring for our dog, Kobe, during our 13-day trip. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She carefully administered Kobe’s medication, followed all of our instructions to the letter, and treated him with so much love and attention—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Beyond pet care, Georgina took incredible care of our home as well. She watered our plants, brought in the mail, and managed the garbage—everything was spotless and perfectly maintained when we returned. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched. What stood out most was her communication. She kept us consistently updated with messages and lots of photos, which made being away so much easier. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was being handled beautifully. Georgina is responsible, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I'm flexible and easy to work with. I have experience with kittens and puppies, and I love all types of animals. My goal is to treat your pet exactly how you would treat them. I'll follow your instructions to the letter and take care of your pets as if their my own. I'm a freelancer with exceptionally flexible hours. Generally I'll be available whenever you need me. That includes weekends and holidays. Happy to pop on over to take care of your buddy any time I'm needed. I have four of my own pets: two corgis, and two gray and white kitties. All four of them live inside with me 24/7, so I'm used to fielding conflict, taking the dogs outside frequently, and playing with pets. I'm also used to meeting special meal regimens or medication needs from different experiences in my pets lives. You never know when they might need special attention.
“Catherine was awesome! My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and I could tell that she was able to calm him down. Mochi and Catherine seemed to really enjoy each others company and that always makes me happy 😊 will be hiring again!”
“We were very happy after our meet and greet with Michelle and Elizabeth. And their long weekend housesit with our two labs didn’t disappoint. Excellent communication, awesome photos, house was left in great condition. Sincerely thankful for their availability, thoughtfulness and expertise. Already have them booked for three more stays and feel extremely confident in their care of our dogs while we’re away.”
“Johanna watched our 3 pets while my husband and I were out of town for our wedding. As soon as we had our meet and greet, we knew our girls were in good hands! She was so communicative while we were away and sent us so many incredible photos of our babies (honestly, she could be a pet photographer). One of our cats is always grumpy with us when we get back from a trip, but not this time which is a testament to the level of care she must have received in our absence. To top it all off, Johanna left us a wedding card and polaroids of our pets!! Truly cannot recommend Johanna as a sitter enough. She is stellar!!!”

Madeline was so easy to communicate with and I felt like our dogs were in such good hands. I was super stressed that they’d get into a fight while we were gone (they dont always get along) and Madeline did such a good job of taking things slow and making sure they were ok together.
Absolutely incredible person! Sarah cared for my little Fuji just as she would care as if he was her own. I’d even say that me being away - he had a full-on vacation! He had a great time. I’m grateful that I found Sarah and I she’s the best dog sitter and walker I have ever encountered. Your pups are in safe hands!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Burbank is $45 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $104 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,720 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burbank. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
