“Jeffrey is extremely punctual, attentive and trustworthy! He lets my dog out every day during the week and is someone I can count on! Very thankful!”
About: I have always had labs or retrievers in the house. I have trained my pets to always obey and greet people with kindness, yet still be loud with a bark when someone approaches the front door. Our dogs have always been great with kids and have never had problems with them running off. We take care of any medications, ear drops, eye drops, and of course proper diet, food, water and treats. We live on a golf course and enjoy taking our dog out for exercise. Throwing the ball or frisbee is her favorite. On sunny days we take her to the beach. We have SUV jeep to transport up to two large dogs to the beach, store or vet. We love dogs (able to handle large size dogs, puppies and older dog care) I am a retired software engineer. I do work part time which leaves me with plenty of time to help pet owners when they need it. I am a detailed oriented person. I enjoy giving your pet the attention they crave, yet staying in complete control in a calm manner. Praise is a requirement.
“LaDonna was so amazing with our puppy. We were anxious to leave him for a few days but we were so impressed by all the time she spent with him and special attention she gave him. She taught him some tricks, made sure he was well taken care of, and was so friendly to deal with. Highly recommend if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for about 10 years from my own to friends and neighbors! I am patient and detail oriented for any pet requests. I have worked with puppies and kittens all the way to senior cats and dogs. I am currently just working side jobs so I have a very open schedule! I can do anytime during the week and weekends are open too! I love to go on walks so whether your pet prefers a long or short walk it is perfect with me! I am also familiar with some of the dog parks nearby and would love to take your dog if you would want them to go!
About: I have taken care of my own pups( always recues) for 20+ years. I am a licensed nurse working part time. With my nursing career and BA in social work, I am very loving and patient and will treat your fur babies with the love of a nurse, a mom and a new grandma!! I currently work part time and try my best to accommodate your needs. I'm available 3 to 5 days a week, usually every other weekend to be able to walk and socialize your dog depending on their individual needs. I have a fenced yard and one sweet boy Dodger who loves to play as well. No small children or other animals i.e. birds, cats etc.
About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.
“Winter took wonderful care of Rogue, my elderly dog. She was on time for every visit, followed my requests, and was patient and gentle with Rogue on her low energy days. She also sent sweet photos of their belly-rub time, which made my day. Kind, reliable, and trustworthy. I'd happily book her again!”
About: The house I grew up in always had dogs around, we used to train them for shows so I have an idea of how to keep pets safe and out of trouble, I have experience with dogs as tiny as a dachshund and as big as a boston mastiff so i’m prepared for anything. I am currently a student at HGTC working on getting my degree in ultrasound tech. I also work part time at the Applebee’s as a server. While all that seems like a lot I actually do get more free time then I expected and I would love to spend that time watching your pets. I like to treat every animal as if it was my own, giving them the same love and respect I would my pets. Whatever you decide is best for how you would like me to watch your animals is how I will do it, it takes a lot of trust to find a sitter so it’s important to me that I follow any guidelines given.
About: I have cats my whole life. I have a year and a half of veterinary medicine experience. Your loved ones are amazing, sweet, and loyal companions. I will absolutely adore them. I am currently available when needed!! I offer puppy walks, check ins, daily needs, and overnights with your puppy at the place they feel the most safe, their home! I would to not disrupt their daily tasks/needs. Tell me what they do day to day, scheduled or not and I will make it happen! I have been doing overnight for family and friends for over 2 years.
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was a child. I have been involved in fostering for local rescues & shelters for 5 years I have co-ran my own 501c3 rescue for almost 3 years I do work full time, so I am gone Monday- Friday from roughly 7A.M until 6 P.M. (depending on how far you are from my job). I drive Uber on the weekends during the summer months, but those hours are flexible & can vary based on your pet's needs. I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require
“We are so happy to have had Belkis care for our pup. We did the Myrtle Beach Marathon and needed help with our dog while we were running. Belkis came the day before to meet Toby and find our camp spot as we were also camping at the beach. She was wonderful with him and so accommodating to us. I highly recommend using Belkis for your pet care needs!”
“Kelly relieved any stress we would have had about leaving our two cats and chinchilla for an extended vacation. She comforted them with her visits and us by sending several pics. We appreciated her help and will definitely use her services in the future!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, from puppies to senior dogs. I love each one! I have experience working at an Emergency and Specialty Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant, and am NWCA Veterinary Assistant Certified. My special skills include playing & exercising your dog, going for walks, and giving lots of love and treats! I also have experience administering medications to senior dogs, and accommodating senior dogs needs. I am familiar with training puppies and can also be helpful with that! I have availability Monday- Friday, morning, midday, and evenings. I am also available for overnight stays with a 3 day notice. I look forward to hearing from you! I care for pets by loving & caring for their every need. Every pet is different therefore their needs vary! Senior dogs may need extra help moving around, or even receiving medications. Puppies need extra play time & consistent training, which I have experience in!
“Tawny was great! I have 4 dogs, ranging in sizes, and they are very high maintenance. she did great with all of them! Followed instructions perfectly, had great communication, and made me feel so comfortable with my pups under her care. I will be requesting her every time I need a sitter for my doggos!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burgess
Kayla & Jessica are the absolute best! They’re always available on short notice when we need someone to watch our two dogs for the weekend. They’re reliable, always on time, and take such great care of our boys. We’re so grateful to have found them and feel lucky to have people we can trust with our pups. We highly recommend them!
Jeffrey was absolutely wonderful and incredibly reliable! He took incredible care of Tyson, who warmed up to him quickly. They spent time playing together with his feather toy, and Jeffrey handled Tyson's medication perfectly. He also went completely above and beyond by feeding and watering my outdoor stray cat during his visits. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again!
Kat was amazing. She sent pictures and videos of our cat Fluffy, which included personal comments as well. Fluffy is afraid of everyone and usually hides in the closet with new people. Kat was able to have him come out and was able to pet him. We were shocked when we saw the video. We will definitely use Kat again in the future.
Nicole and her sweet kiddos were absolutely awesome with our dog! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and caring hands while we were away. It was clear he was well cared for and happy when we returned. We’re so grateful to have found Nicole and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
April was absolutely amazing with Lola. She spent quality time with her, took her on great walks, and cared for her as if she were her own dog. Her daughters were wonderful as well, showing Lola so much kindness and affection. I highly recommend April. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lola in her care for a few days, and I knew Lola was loved and well taken care of the entire time. ❤️
Rebekah did a great job watching our two timid foster kitties. It took a couple days, but they started coming out while she was here, and she was able to hand feed treats to one of them. We’ve been working on getting them socialized for 6 months now, and it’s heartwarming to see them come around to someone new so quickly. I loved getting her comments and pictures after each visit! We will definitely book with Rebekah again!
This was our first time using Rover. We were delighted with Alexis L. And the professionalism and care which she demonstrated from our first contact and throughout. Wonderful to see her able to engage with our skittish but affection hungry kitty. The twice daily updates with photos and videos were most welcome. When you know your pet's care is in such capable hands you can relax and enjoy your time away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burgess is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 646 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burgess. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burgess. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
