“We have hired Joanna twice now for our geriatric, three-legged dog. She is great and sends pics throughout the stay. Our dog needs to use a cart for his daily walk and meds twice a day and Joanna had no trouble with handling that. Highly recommend!”
“Ari was absolutely amazing watching our two Goldens! He walked them every day, sent us text updates and pictures of the boys, and was very communicative. Ari also left our house spotless! I would highly recommend, and we will be requesting his services again! Thank you Ari!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give them the same love and patience I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to become your dog’s favorite sitter and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, but most of my evenings are free and weekends perfect if you need a sitter for a weekend getaways or a night out! I live on a 2 acre property and my roommate has a very friendly border collie that gets along with almost anything, I usually watch her if my roommate is out of town!
“I was very happy with Pat’s good care of my dog Rosie. Pat would send me pictures and tell me what they were up to so I wouldn’t miss my dog too much. I will definitely use Pat again.”
“Brenda is kind and warm. Our dog instantly loved her. She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. Brenda sent pictures and updates throughout her time with our dog and we felt that he was safe and happy. We highly recommend Brenda!”
About: Hi, my name is Stacy and I am an avid dog lover and owner! Hi! My name is Stacy, and I’m an avid dog lover and proud dog owner! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, with most of my experience centered around dog walking and providing attentive, reliable care. I’m also a proud owner of a four-year-old Border Collie–Lab mix, so I understand firsthand the importance of keeping dogs happy, active, and well cared for! I am available during the mornings, afternoons, and evening or overnight dog sitting. I also have transportation, so happy to take your dog to the park or beach! I will make sure that your loved pet feels trusted and comfortable when in my care. I will be consistently monitoring to ensure that everything goes smoothly and safe.
“The best house sitter we've had in years. I'm fastidious by nature, and it's hard for us to find someone who's not only able to take good care of our precious kitties, but someone who can also return our home to the neat-as-a-pin state we left it in. Ariel was quick and clear in her communications, and followed through on everything she said she'd do. It was a pleasure to work with her. We will certainly cross our fingers and hope she's available the next time we go out of town.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and have volunteered at shelters and adoption events like Rocket Dog Rescue and Pets Lifeline since I was a kid. Through this rescue work, I am experienced in safe new dog introductions and behavioral de-escalation. I adopted my current dog at an event I was working and raised her as my emotional support animal on my busy college campus, which taught me how to keep pets grounded in stimulating environments. She is fantastic with small dogs, so if your little ones stay with us, they will have a friendly companion. Whether you have a big breed, a timid rescue, or an independent cat, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them while you are away. I just finished my masters program so I currently have a highly flexible schedule, meaning I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My weekends are sometimes eventful, but my weeks are free for some furry love! I live in a cozy condo in Sonoma with my dog. While I don't have a private yard, I have a beautiful porch perfect for afternoon sunbathing. Safety is my top priority, so dogs are only ever allowed on the porch when I am home and actively supervising them. To make up for the lack of a yard, I go on frequent adventures! My dog and I regularly visit the lovely park just around the corner to run and search for lizards, and we love walking the perimeter of the Sonoma Square for people watching.
About: I’ve had pets all of my life and my friends entrust me to take of their fur babies on a regular basis. I love animals more than humans a lot of the time. I’m a stay at home mom and my kids are older now so I have lots of time to do what I love which is walk and hike and be outdoors. And it’s all the more fun if I can have a dog with me! I will care for your babies as if they were my own! And follow all of your instructions and make sure everything is done exactly as you want it.
About: I’ve been taking care of my sister 4 dogs, 15 cats, 1 & bunny. I’m managed to feed all of them, playing with them & showing love to each of them I’m currently working part time because I’m attending college so I’ll be able to work Monday through Friday but I can able make extend time during the weekends if I’m not busy I’ll make sure the pets are safe, comfortable, & cared for. I’ll follow any instructions you provide to keep a eye on your pets & make sure they have food, water, feel loved, & attention
“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
About: My background as a Holistic Practitioner allows me to bring a calm, nurturing presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and loved. I have 10 years experience in pet sitting and specialize in senior cats and dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and managing specialized care. I also offer frequency therapy, which is a wonderful gentle way to soothe separation anxiety and support them through any health issues. I will treat your place as if it were my own and ensure that you return to a clean and well cared for home. I’m a digital nomad I work remotely from my laptop which gives me the freedom to work from anywhere. Your pets will have constant companionship and minimal disruption to their routine. I have most recently been traveling as a house and pet sitter on Trusted Housesitters and have many wonderful reviews. I have fallen in love with the animals and the freedom it has given me. I have decided I would like to do this professionally and have just signed up with Rover. Looking forward to meeting you.
“This young woman, Yasmin C. was a fantastic and honest dog sitter at our home overnight. Our 1-y.o. 175 lb White German Shepard went on a walks with her in the evening and the morning, and our dog took to her very quickly. She played with him with his squeeky chicken, and kindly took photos of him and texted us while we were gone. She was a ideal guest, even making the guest bed for us. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! My name is Lyanne and I have been in the bay area for 7 years. I am currently developing ocean literacy curriculum for National Geographic with a flexible schedule which allows for me to be available as needed for your pet care needs. Attention to detail and communication skills are very important to me. I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and I understand the patience it takes to work with fearful/timid dogs. While caring for your dog I will send updates via text messages with pictures to ease your mind and let you know that your pet is in the best care possible. I have cat sat for the past 3 years through word of mouth and love creating deep bonds with the animals I care for. Long walks or fun play, keeping their schedules regular is my goal. If you are looking for someone who is trust worthy, caring and responsible then look no further. Please contact me today for your petsitting needs. You will not be disappointed! I will tend to your pet throughout the day since this is my time off and I would not be working. This means, early morning wake up, 30 minutes to an hour walk, 30 minute rest, feeding, followed by relaxation and play until noon. At around noon, another walk (30 minute) and/or play or relaxing depending on energy level of the dog and finally evening, another walk and/or play. If you have a yard, there would be intermittent outdoor time throughout the day, especially as some dogs love to sunbathe, smell flowers, or chase lizards. Basically, I will tend to their needs and make them feel as comfortable as they could be without their owners around. I can take your pet on walks 2-3 times a day (less or more if you would like) and tend to their needs. Since I will be doing this during my time off, I will mostly be home with the dogs (at most 2-3 hours away total doing groceries or going to gym). I can crate your dog if needed, but they will mostly be with me. If there are parks around, I will gladly take them there.
“Victoria was a life saver for us when we recently went out of town. She stayed in our home and watched our cat and 9-month old puppy. She was incredibly communicative and kept us up to date with photos. She managed meds for one of our pets and left us feeling at ease that everything was taken care of. It was so nice to come home to happy pets and a clean home. Thanks, Victoria!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burdell
Our two small senior dogs enjoyed having Kat take care of them and our house during our short getaway. They have their quirks, but Kat was quite relaxed about accommodating their needs. She responded quickly to a few requests we sent while away, and we found our pets and home in good order when we returned. Would definitely hire her again!
Kat was wonderful! We were able to travel and enjoy ourselves knowing our sweet Nigel was in great care. Kat was quick to respond, sent daily photos & synopsis of their day, and she was very organized. She also took care of our daughter's prized strawberry & blueberry bushes. I would recommend Kat to my close family and friends.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Chris! He watched our dog, Rosie, and was completely respectful of our house rules and home throughout the stay. Chris is extremely thoughtful and communicative—he even made sure to ask permission before having his girlfriend visit. Rosie can be quite anxious, but Chris was remarkably patient with her. After a couple of days, she really warmed up to him—he was able to pet her, and eventually, they were even sleeping next to each other! We loved getting his detailed end-of-day updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. He’s also incredibly attentive; he caught early signs of an allergy outbreak in Rosie right away so we could address it promptly. Chris is officially our go-to pet sitter, and we recommend him without hesitation!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burdell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burdell. 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 Burdell 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 Burdell 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 Burdell 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.

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.
