“All the reviews are true! Shayna did amazing job housesitting our two lab mixes over the 4th of July holiday. She is clearly very experienced & deserving of her star sitter status. She gave us frequent updates, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our dogs were in great hands!”
“Kathryn is an amazing dog sitter. She has dog sat for us multiple times and she always does a great job. She comes exactly when she says she will and the dogs love her. She leaves our house clean and sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day. Thank you for being so trustworthy Kathryn!”
“Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again”

Communication was great from start to finish, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated how accommodating and dependable she was.

About: I have experience with 2 Boston terriers of my own, as well as dog sitting for puppies and senior dogs! I am comfortable with giving medication and am able to walk the dogs every day! I have been taking care of my dogs since I was 13! I am currently in limbo, waiting for a new job and wanted to hop on here to help with furry friends! I do plan to continue working on Rover part time! I have been pet sitting by word of mouth for friends and family for about 7 years! I think it’s important that every pet family knows that they can have a caring and trustworthy individual taking care of their pets! <3 I have two dogs at home who I love very much! Ella is almost 11 and rose is my baby from COVID who is 6. So I have also dog sat for plenty of friends and family who have dogs of all ages and sizes! So, have plenty of experience with dogs!
“Janet did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max! She made sure he got plenty of long walks, kept me updated with great communication, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again the next time I need someone to take care of Max!”
“Tabbie M. was on time, communicative, and professional. She worked well with sweety and sent emails, and pictures to update me. Tabbie M. is very nice and kind as well. I will definitely book her again.”

“Oh goodness, I don't know where to begin! Miguel is wonderful! He kept in touch with me and if he had questions on Zona's care he reached out to me for clarity. Photos were sent to me daily with days activities! My home was secure and Zona cared for with Miguel. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Miguel!!”
“Ethel is incredibly kind and such a dog lover! I really appreciated Ethel’s communication and care for my new dog, Kylo. My boy was adopted about a week ago and has a good amount of separation anxiety. He has broken out of 2 crates, 3 times😅 Ethel was available to house sit during the morning/early afternoon while I needed to be out of the house for work. I felt very comfortable leaving Kylo in her care. I would highly recommend Ethel’s services!”
About: I love all types of dogs. I’ve cared for dogs for years by watching family members’ pets/house sitting and helping care for my own family’s dogs. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday. Available evenings and weekends as it may fit with my life schedule. Depending on the distance, more visits may or may not be feasible. I try to stick with the dog’s normal routine, whether it includes walks or letting them out in your backyard. Also including feedings, giving medications, treat allowances, playtime, etc.
About: Ever since I was little I have loved dogs. Although I have my own dogs that I love so dearly I also love meeting and spending time with new dogs. It is so fun to get to meet new dogs and their personalities! I’m currently working as a substitute teacher and a hostess so on some days I will be available whenever but other times might be more constricted. As long as I know a bit beforehand I can usually make something work! During the weekends I am basically open despite when I am working at the restaurant. While caring for pets in my clients home I will be sure to follow all the rules and schedules that have been given to me. I will make sure that all pets are made to feel cared for to ease the absence of their owners.
“Alyssa was absolutely a God send. She was incredible with our two kitties that we never left before. She was very thorough and detail oriented. Also she sent regular pictures and videos and messages. Anytime I reached out to her she was very quick to respond. She was the only person that our kitties actually went up to the first time they met her. They are always reserved and shy and actually run and hide from any visitors...even my parents that have been here several times took them several visits to get used to. Animals can sense a good hearted, caring person when they meet one. We will absolutely be using Alyssa on a regular basis. I know it can't be easy to trust someone you don't know staying at your house for several days but as soon as I met Alyssa, I was instantly comfortable and trusting of her. One word to describe her: PERFECT. :-)”
“Ariel did a great job caring for my dog and cat. She sent pictures fir me to see what they were doing. She walked my dog, she loves to go for walks. This is my second time having Ariel stay at my house to care for my pets. I will be asking her again because I am very happy with her care.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since grammar school and have always had a deep appreciation for the role pets play in a family. Over the years I’ve lived in multi-pet households — at one point sharing a home with three dogs and four cats — and I’ve personally had three cats of my own. Our family Doberman passed a few years ago, and while we currently don’t have pets of our own, that has opened the door for us to provide a loving space for yours. For the past two years, I’ve proudly been a Rover sitter and have maintained a 5-star rating by treating every pet like part of the family. Our home offers a calm, family-style environment where dogs are included in daily life — not isolated or treated like they’re in a facility. Because of this, we focus on caring for well-behaved dogs who are comfortable in a home setting and respectful of their surroundings. Dogs that require constant separation due to behavioral issues are often better suited for kennel-style care. Our goal is to create a safe, relaxed environment where dogs who thrive in a family atmosphere can feel at home. If your dog enjoys being part of the pack and settling into a warm, structured household — we’d love to welcome them. I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one! I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burbank
Could not have asked for a better experience! Guillermina was in communication every day and sent messages and pictures daily. My dog was well taken care of and I did not have to worry at all about her while my family was away. I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book her again in the future! Definitely recommend
Sean was an absolute treasure to our girl, Luna. He was very responsive from the get-go and made sure that all of our accommodations were met. I’m not sure that we will ever book with anybody else as Luna adored Sean when we returned. I would give Sean 100/10 stars if I could. I highly recommend entrusting him.
Laura is wonderful! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old dog while we were on vacation for almost two weeks. She took amazing care of our special guy and kept us updated everyday. She was also incredibly respectful of our space. We will absolutely use her services in the future.
Janet did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Max! She made sure he got plenty of long walks, kept me updated with great communication, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again the next time I need someone to take care of Max!
Alia did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Penny! Penny was happy, well cared for, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Alia kept me updated and was very reliable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

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!

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.
