“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.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many family cats and dogs of all breeds and am able to understand each pet and their needs in order to make sure they’re happy and healthy! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets from walking dogs, to making sure they’re fed and to keep up with any routine that they follow. As a Rover pet sitter, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I ensure a safe, comfortable environment, following their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. In a client’s home, I maintain their usual schedule, offer companionship, and keep their space clean. I also provide updates and can assist with small tasks like mail or plants.
“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.”
“Madeline was amazing and took really great care of our pups and kitty, providing regular updates and pictures. We had such peace of mind while we were away and we owe it all to her. She is the best and we look forward to working with her in the future!”
“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.”
“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!😁”
“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.”
“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.”
“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! 🙏🏼”
“We just took our first family vacation since pre-pandemic, and it was a huge relief to leave our furbabies in Kim's loving care. She stayed overnight for a whole week with our pup and senior kitty. I was worried about our cat turning 19 while we were away because he was losing weight before our trip. When we returned, he had gained weight, and he looked healthier. Kim has a magic touch! She also cared for our guinea pigs, which are rather high maintenance, so I am very appreciative of her dedication to them. I'm so glad we found Kim so we have a trusted sitter for our next trip.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jessica was a great dog sitter. She was incredibly communicative and sent so many sweet photos of our dog, Benjamin. We would highly recommend her for either dog walking or dog/house sitting!”
“This was the second time I booked Hayley and she was quick to respond, reliable and easy-going when we couldn't provide her with a parking spot. I totally trusted her and I know she took good care of Maxi. Thank you!”
“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!”
About: Hi, my name is Salena. I love all pets with dogs being my favorite. I've been working for Wag! since 2017 and starting to stretch my wings to Rover. I am studying to be an Veterinary Technician while currently working at an animal hospital in Glendale as a room tech and Kennel Attendant. I've been known as an animal whisperer ever since I was little because I always brought strays and lost animals home to care for them and to reunite them with the owners. So, I have always been inspired to continue taking care of animals as my dream career choice. So I hope I can help you out by giving you a peace of mind that your FurBaby is in good hands I currently work part-time and going to school full-time online so I am available for your FurBaby when they need me. Monday through Friday's go head and message me and we can talk about a pickup and drop off time that suits us both. Saturday I can do pickups and drop offs after 3pm and Sundays anytime. I have a fenced-in backyard and my apartment is a two bedroom so it's a good size for ZOOMIES. Kitchen and bathroom are blocked off for protection. I also have two friendly dogs myself that can keep your pup company. Yui is 5, spayed, up to date on all shots, and has a calm and cuddly nature. Axel is 6months, neutered, up to date on all shots, and is a playful puppy nature. Axel is in training process so is still being crated at night, Yui is fully trained and roams the house freely. If your pup is crate trained I will need it's crate to continue your training.
“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!”
“Corey and Claire were EXCELLENT pet sitters in their first time watching not only our dog and two cats, but also taking great care of our home. Corey sent us very frequent updates with photos and videos a few times each day, and he carefully sent them at the perfect times while we were on vacation 9 timezones away. The home was clean on our return, all the animals were happy and healthy as can be, and so there's nothing else we could possibly ask for :-) I strongly recommend them for any pet sitting you might need!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burbank
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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burbank
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burbank on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,614 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.
