“Kristen was the perfect sitter for our animals, she’s super responsive, easy to coordinate with and provides tons of photo updates. We were totally comfortable the whole time we were away from our animals, will definitely be booking with her again!”
“LaDonna was absolutely amazing! Easily the best dog sitter we’ve ever had stay with our pups. Our dogs were well cared for and well loved. They got regular exercise and play and we got multiple updates and pictures a day. I couldn’t be happier and we will definitely use her again!”
“Kat is amazing! She loves Judge like he was her own baby boy. Kat is so sweet, always on time and just all around she is an incredible person and I can go on and on about her, we are so, so thankful we found her. She is worth every penny and more. Thank you Kat! You have and are a part of our family 😊🤗♥️”
About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.
“Emily is the greatest! Couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my sweet Otis… She was on time, prompt, paid attention to detail and most importantly paid extra special attention to Otis. I highly recommend her for any of your out-of-town needs and for watching your pup at any time… She’s the best!”
About: I’m a proud momma of two Pit Bulls that I rescued, locally. My passion for Bully breeds started 25 years ago when I adopted my first one and discovered the slobbering kisses that made me a forever fan. Over the last decade I fostered many (over 50) pregnant moms and their babies for local Rescues. I’m available anytime of the day and 7 days a week unless booked or unavailable. I also do not mind last minute drop ins. After my own experience trying to find a sitter for my two pit bulls, I realized that most sitters didn’t accept Pit Bulls and that there was a need for Pittie sitters! I love all breeds and have lots of experience.
“Tracey was excellent!! Kept us well informed of how our boys were doing while we were away. Stayed on schedule with what she said she would do and even came back by upon request when we were running late getting home. Felt our two Cavaliers were in great hands! Our first time using Rover but would recommend Tracey and look forward to booking with her again.”
About: I have been dog walking and overnight sitting for the last 8 years in Myrtle Beach. My whole family relies on me to help with their pups when needed. I do work during the day but available most nights and weekends to help! (Only unavailable if I have a prior work event usually and I have plenty of notice with those) When visiting your home, I will respect your home and things just as I take care of all of my belongings and my household with our dogs.
“Nicole is fabulous! She sent regular updates of our pups with pictures included. She left our house in pristine condition and our dogs seemed very happy and well cared for.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for animals since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, and more unique pets, including reptiles and small animals. My mom even has a possum and a snake, so I’m very comfortable with out-of-the-ordinary pets and special care routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a college student at Coastal Carolina University and a member of the club cheer team. Outside of classes and practices, I have flexible availability and would love to spend my free time caring for pets. I am available during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job to me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and special care needs. I treat every home and pet with respect, compassion, and responsibility. I make sure pets are always supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive on kindness and consistency, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Harper is amazing!! She was so great with our pup and our home!! We received daily pictures and updates and we can not express our gratitude enough! Thank you so much Harper!!!!”
About: My entire life I’ve grown up with animals all over the house. My parents always had at least 6 pets that I would help love and care for. When I moved out, I took my little kitty with me and left behind 7 more pets. I’ve pet-sit for friends and neighbors, and I’ve walked dogs until they were finally ready to go home. I love all animals and will treat your pets with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently going to be working short night shifts so I will have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. My mornings are free for early walks and I have no problem stopping by late if needed! I have a 2 bedroom which is lots of space for my 6 pound kitten to play around. I spoil her with toys and play with her all day. I have a little backyard which she’s too scared to use but it would be perfect for other animals to play. I also have a very walkable neighborhood with lots of friendly animals that go on walks as well!
“Jenn was house sitting for a week with my 2 dogs. She was very caring and kind to them. She was especially patient with one of my dogs who is afraid of the thunderstorms. Jenn is a very responsible person with great attention to the details. She also left the house in perfect order. I can highly recommend Jenn and hope to work with her in the future.”

I highly recommend Kristen! She took amazing care of our dogs, Chester and Buster, as well as our home. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, sent photos, walked them regularly, and showered them with love. Some neighbors even reached out to me and gave her a thumbs up. We returned to very happy dogs and a perfectly kept house. We will definitely be using her services again!
Grace is wonderful. It was my first time having her and she stayed overnight with my dog and cat. I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her not a bit anxious which is highly unusual for me. The animals loved her. She kept me well informed, followed instructions to a tee and sent pics. She is a very sweet young lady and I will definitely continue to utilize her services. She comes highly recommended from me!
We used Kat while we were camping to come stay in our motorhome with our 3 dachshunds while we went to an event. She was awesome! She took the time to meet with us ahead of time to help our comfort and the dogs. It was such a load off knowing how comfortable the dogs were with her. Definitely would recommend and use again.
We went away for 5 days 4 nights and needed a sitter for our two dogs, one of which had a stroke a year and a half ago and is declining. There was No hesitation as to who we were going to call… Tracy! She had stayed with them before and took amazing care of our pups. We felt at ease that should something happen to our girl with the stroke Tracy would know exactly how to handle it. Once again Tracy was awesome, kept us informed, sent some pictures and took great care of our girlies. Tracy is professional on all fronts and should be your 1st choice to sit your pets. We highly highly recommend Tracy and again, Thank you so very much Tracy!! ❤️❤️
Lorel was an excellent dog AND house sitter! You can tell she has a real love for animals and treated ours like a member of her own family. Always sending videos and photos, the communication was great from the time we booked with her until her final day. We would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving pet sitter. Thanks Lorel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Burgess is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Burgess 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 Burgess 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 Burgess 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burgess. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
