“Tracy is the absolute best! She went above and beyond the call-of-duty. She’s a natural with animals and made our beloved young pup Riggo feel comfortable and loved from their first meeting. I was as confident with Tracy taking care of Riggo as I would be any family member or trusted friend. Riggo was as spoiled and pampered as if Grandma herself was taking care of our furry baby! Except unlike Grandma, Tracy is much much younger and can handle many vigorous walk with lots of playtime too! She sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay in our home. We also have an aquatic turtle that she took care of as well. Our home was so clean too! We were gone four days to the East coast for my niece’s wedding, and I was so much more relaxed and could enjoy my time with my family and this social occasion having Tracy in my home taking care of our home, our sweet boy Riggo and Alfred, our aquatic turtle. She’s family now. I’d have her back and will do so again anytime! Hire her-you will not be disappointed.”
“Nare was so kind and loved our pets for a few nights. She communicated with us everyday and sent photos of the happy animals. Would absolutely recommend! Our dog and cat gravitated to her as soon as they met”
“Madeline is our top choice for taking care of our babies. We are so impressed by her and feel like she is an angel sent from up above. Super self sufficient, caring towards our animals, respectful and professional. She’s the best.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for pups of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels since I was a kid. I know every dog is different, so I take time to get to know them, make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need some extra patience and reassurance, including dogs with anxiety or who are still working on training. I’m happy to help whether your dog needs a long walk and playtime, a companion while you’re away, or just someone to give them lots of love and attention. I always treat them like they’re my own! I’m an actor and fitness trainer in Burbank with a flexible schedule and a reliable car. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week and mornings and afternoons on weekends. If you’re looking for house sitting as well, let’s talk! My goal is to always make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I keep their routines consistent including meals, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to adapt to whatever your dog needs and will gladly send photos and regular updates to keep you in the loop. I know what it’s like to miss your fur baby and want reassurance.
“We were so lucky to find Sarah to watch our challenging dog. She approached our meet and greet with patience and gave our dog the opportunity to show how sweet he could be with a few test drop ins to try each other out. We then left them alone for a weekend and were thrilled to hear that everything went well and got amazing and funny pictures out of it. Great communicator and very thoughtful!”
“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!”
“Lisa was very attentive and caring. She kept communicating with me regularly while I was away sending updates about Coco on his daily routines. Coco loved her. Thanks Lisa for being a great dog sitter!”
“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!”
“My 2 Labradors loved Niki! She house sitted for a week with my two dogs and she always checked in with pictures , she bought them toys n treats, and gave them so much attention! I will definitely be using Niki’s services 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! 🐾💕”
“Kat was great. She watched my senior dog + puppy for 6 days. She took my puppy on walks, gave my senior dog her meds & kept in communication with me about all their feedings, walks, and activities! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: From personal experience I know what it takes to care after a pet. Whether that’s checking in on them or taking them on walks , you can trust your pets will be taken care of with love! I am a huge animal lover, who treats each pet with respect and love they deserve, I take my time and priority with each client to make sure every pet is taken care of correctly I have an indoor dog, I take him on walks 3 times a day. I make sure he has the appropriate food and amount of water throughout his day., and of course, give him lots of love
“McKenzie is absolutely wonderful. She communicated very well and listened to my pups quirks and really went out of her way to make me and my dog Hyphen comfortable. You'll love working with her and your pup will be in great hands.”
“Jade was amazing with my pup and kept me updated throughout the day (at my request). Honey (my dog) was definitely at ease with Jade which allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip!”
About: While I haven't done much pet care outside of my own dogs and some family friends’ pets, I am more than happy to take care of anything your pet needs! :) I have full control over my work schedule, so I am more than happy to stay for a few hours at a time if needed! Weekdays/end, day/night! I can come over and stay with your little friends, follow any detailed care instructions you may have and provide regular updates while you're away!
About: Hi pet parents, I’m Tauri. 🙋♀️ Nice to meet you 😊. . I’ve been taking care of pets - my own and other people’s - for years. My commitment to safety and wellbeing is so strong that I became a K9 Search and Rescue volunteer. . I have cared for large dogs (100- 130lbs), fostered a pit bull puppy and GSDs with separation anxiety, reactivity and aggression. I’ve also cared for very small dogs including multiple poodles less than 10lbs. . I potty trained many puppies and I’ve cared for senior dogs with incontinence issues. . In addition to dogs (and cats), I’ve cared for a boa constrictor, bunnies, a guinea pig, a green cheek conure and horses. . I am currently without my own pet and I enjoy helping neighbors and friends with theirs. I joined Rover to be a reliable, trustworthy resource for pet parents who don’t have a responsible friend or neighbor to help them. . I’ve completed Michael Shikashio’s Aggression in Dogs Master course. I am enrolled Susan Clothier’s Treat Retreat Certification Course. I am a member of Pet Sitter’s International and the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. . If you prioritize your pet’s health, happiness and safety and want a dog walker/pet sitter who is independently insured and will send consistent updates, please get in touch to set up a meet and greet. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your pets. 😊 Have a pawsitively wonderful day. 🥰🐾 I work remotely, which means I can spend a lot of time with your pets during a housesit. I am also available for day sits (daycare in your home). . Unlike many sitters, I do not need to leave during the day for long periods. All I need is a place to work with reliable high speed WiFi, in a clean, comfortable, quiet space without cameras or audio recording. . I can feed and take the dog(s) out to potty in the morning before starting work and I can take the dog(s) on a potty break midday. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to leave to get food and basic necessities during a house sit at any point. I also reserve the right to leave for 4-6 hours during the day. . Constant Care: Pets requiring constant care will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to additional fees depending on the pets specific needs. I consider a pet to need constant care if the pet: (1) cannot be left for 4 hours at a time and/or (2) will need supervision or attention during 8 hours overnight (sleep time for me) or during the day while I work. In-person Meet & Greets are required prior to all services for new clients. I need to meet the pet(s) and assess temperament. . For dogs I want to go on a walk with the dogs and make sure the leashes, collars and equipment used to walk the pet is in good condition and the pet cannot slip out of the equipment. I want to see the typical walk environment and assess potential safety hazards (coyotes, aggressive dogs behind flimsy fences, debris in the area, etc.) and logistical issues (elevators, stairs, parking). . For all pets the in-person Meet & Greet will also allow me to assess the escape risks for pets and options for minimizing these risks. . The Meet & Greet will also allow you the opportunity to meet me in person, ask me questions and see me interact with your pet. Entrusting your pet and your home to a stranger is a very important decision for you and it should be taken seriously. If for some reason you do feel comfortable with me watching your pets or staying in your house after the Meet & Greet, you should meet with another sitter and find one that matches your needs. . Miscellaneous: I do not plan to bring any people or pets (other than the ones you are asking me to watch) into your home while I pet sit. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to refuse the sit if after the Meet and Greet I am not comfortable with the situation. While I have experience with aggressive dogs and cats, my overnight sit rate is for social/well-adjusted animals. Animals in need of behavioral modification or that pose a safety risk to myself or others should be boarded at a facility that is geared towards aggressive animals. Similarly, while I have experience caring for animals post surgery or animals experiencing acute medical conditions, my overnight rate is for healthy animals and/or animals with well-controlled chronic conditions. Medically fragile animals should be boarded at a veterinary facility with 24/7 staffing.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Burbank is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burbank
Victoria is awesome! She stayed with my 2 kitties while I was out of town, and she kept them on their regular routine perfectly. She was so communicative, and I felt like she was caring for my boys, the way she would care for her own cat. I will definitely be rebooking with her the next time I go out of town
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 for House Sitting in Burbank on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,707 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
- 95% 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.
