“India is super responsive and flexible. She did a great job taking care of our three dogs with drastically different needs and personalities. We were really grateful to have worked with her and look forward/ hope she can stay with our pups in the future!”
“Michelle did a great job caring for our four dogs while we were gone. This was our first vacation in a while, and she eased our anxiety with constant updates and photos, making us feel much better. We will absolutely have her watch our dogs again.”
“I can’t recommend Marsha highly enough! She was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. My dogs absolutely loved spending time with her, which was evident from the wonderful photos she shared and how happy and relaxed they were when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Marsha again!”
“Debbie was great! Great communication, photos, and my dog seemed to really like her. My dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. She also watered all my outside flowers while I was away.”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She came for a meet and greet with dog, Lyra and Lyra loved her. She was very communicative and sent pictures every day. Highly recommend.”
“Briana did amazing. She went above and beyond for my pups. One had recent surgery for a CCL and weighs 60 pounds, and I was surprised to see her carrying up and down the stairs (3 flights) the entire weekend I was gone. Was not expecting that. Definitely would recommend and will be using her in the future!”
“This is the first time I have used Rover because for many years we have had our friends available to us, until this trip. I found it to be a really easy process and without it, we never would have found Faith! I am so thankful! Faith is amazing! Our "boys" loved her right away! She followed my instructions, and was able to get one our dogs to do something we have a hard time doing ourselves! This demonstrated the trust he had in Faith immediately. If you are looking for a trustworthy, dependable, kind, and loving sitter for your fur babies in your home, then I highly recommend you hire Faith!! You will be very happy you did!”
About: I've kettle trained puppy's. On many occasions I would have to hear a pup cry all night long. I've taught them to wait until going outside to poo. I can also say that I have dealt with dogs that pee out of excitement, fear, etc. I only had some brief experience with a senior dog which was my older sisters dog. I have my own dog and have picked up grooming skills. I want to have a flexible schedule because I am planning to go back to school. I also love animals and do not find it hard to take care of them. This job would allow me to fit two things I love into my life with minimal problem. At home I have a small dog who is 2 years old. He still has a puppy mindset and loves to go on walks. I groom him every other day. I cut his nails even when he dislikes it and I bathe him. Every client is different, every animal is different. I would like to communicate what they want from me and what I can do for them. With every client I can assure I will do my best to take care of their beloved animal(s).
“Kaiti stayed with our 2 dogs and cat for a week! This was her first stay with our kids and everything went really well! We kind of have a complex little pup and she handled him very well! She gave him his space but also did his most favorite thing in the world…fetch! When we came home, the house was just the way we left it and we were very appreciate how quick she was when responding to us. We hope to have her watch our babies again soon!”
“We just had Samantha for one night, she is everything you would want in a pet sitter / house sitter. She is friendly, professional, communicates well, and the dogs only had great things to say about her. We hope she will house sit for us again!”
“Lari was soooo attentive and thoughtful! You could tell she loved on my sweet Ammo boy as if he was her own dog! She made sure his time was enriched with outings and walks and playtime… she was attentive to details in all aspects of his care and home sitting and was so respectful of my home! I will be using her again for sure!!!!”
“Kaylie was excellent sitter to Winter. She gave him time to settle with her and then took him on walks. She made a point to regularly send pictures and updates on him. Thank you Kaylie for taking good care of Winter”
“Kaylee was a big help to us. She agreed to the sitting on short notice and that enabled us to attend a funeral in Taiwan. The house was kept in good condition - she washed the sheets and towels, as well as the dishes. Chloe is a rescue pup with anxiety issues, and Kaylee was able to help her deal with our absence.”
“She took great care of our two doggos! Sent updates on them and kept them so active with walks and playing. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her and will be using her in the future”
About: I’ve had experience pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I’m open to pet sitting and weekly walks. I can be very flexible and super open to whatever you need that is wanted. I am currently working part-time and have some extra time. I love being around animals and have had a lot of experience pet sitting. I have experience caring for pets in my clients' homes and always strive to make them feel comfortable while their owners are away. My experience includes dog walking, overnight stays, feeding, providing fresh water, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I follow each owner's instructions carefully and am flexible in meeting each pet's individual needs. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners have peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of different doggies. I’ve done services such as dog walking, med pass, feeding, overnight stays, or just hanging out with them whether it’s a pup cup run or a fun drive:) Im currently in school in the mornings and are free all evening! I’m currently working overnight but I am willing to work with you to get your pet a care plan to book with me! I am open for walks and feedings or just a simple check in.

About: I am caring for a super senior dog and a cat. I am passionate for making sure the animals are well cared for in a loving environment. I am self-employed. I have time to take your pets on walks throughout the day as well as letting them have time out in the backyard. I have a fenced yard that will ensure the safety of your pets. I have enough room for your dogs to run around and get exercise.
About: I’ve been working with dogs my whole life, I fostered before it was a huge thing from the shelter. I volunteered at the shelter for over 10 years. I frequently watch my friends animals as well, up to 5 at a time including cats. I work full time but work 10-7 so I can easily come before or after work, and can easily pop in during my lunch too during the week if needed. I love all dogs, none spook me. I just want to give them some attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am okay with walking and crating dogs or whatever the protocol is you are okay with!
“Paulina did a wonderful job with our pets. The stay was during Christmas, so it was extra special that she could stay at our home to care for our dogs. I will definitely have Paulina again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Burbank
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 256 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.
<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 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.
