We had such a great experience with Sandra. She took great care of all 4 of our animals. She sent lots of pictures and updated us on the pets. She was very accommodating to our senior dog who is on medication and wears a diaper. We are excited that we have found someone we can trust to watch our pets in the future!

Dyanne was very prompt, flexible, and communicated well. She took her time to get to know all of our pets a few days ahead of time, which was great, because it gave them a chance to get used to a new sitter. She has a strong love of animals and is committed to taking great care of them! 💗

Tayler was amazing! She was quick to reply to our last minute booking and took great care of Kali. She also went above and beyond by leaving things cleaner than when we left and giving our pup a much needed bath. Will absolutely be utilizing her services in the future if she’s available!

About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.

About: Apart from my good aura & energy, cats are drawn to my respectful boundaries & patience to let them come to me when they are ready. I have been cat sitting for so long that I am familiar with several types of litter boxes, toys, foods & signs. "My cat has never warmed up so fast to anyone" remains a common phrase throughout my entire life. I wake up and let my parents dog out, clean the litter box for their cats & then feed the fish in case my mother forgot. I also feed the dog in the afternoon (mom does morning) & the cats as well. Any help that is needed along with vet visits, fall on me since I am home more than anyone. I make sure that I am aware of any hiding spots in other peoples homes for cats so that I can check on them constantly even if it just means checking that they are still in the same spot. Cats, depending on playfulness, need attention & proper care. I make sure I set alarms or reminders if they need medication or special care from the owners. Watching tv, reading a book or cleaning are my favorite past times while I cat sit. If I need to be home all day with them, then I will entertain myself easily.

About: I have been pet sitting for two years now with the help of my mother's pet grooming/sitting business, and now I wish to start my own and provide quality pet care to dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Since I have graduated from highschool, and will be taking a gap year before going to college, I will have plenty of time to care for your doggos and cats, being available anytime you need me and on any day of the week! I am a very adaptive individual, and will follow any instructions you leave for me concerning your fur babies, and I will ensure your pets receive the utmost care and attention that my pets at home receive daily!

About: I am very well-rounded as far as my animal experience. Dogs, horses, cats - you name it!

I am happy to prepare the most complicated diets or administer meds as needed!

About: I’ve always had a love for all animals it doesn’t matter what animal they are. When I was 13 I was put in foster care and my first home was at a horse farm and I absolutely loved it grooming,feeding, and riding the horses. My chores were to walk the dogs, feed the dogs, bath the dogs, and also groom the dogs. I love and enjoy the company of my furry friends. All animals are welcome to stay with me and get the same love and care that they get at home. I’m also willing to travel however far away you are. I also really like it if I have a list of routines that your animal does so I can keep them on schedule. If you have one.

Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.

About: I have always been a dog lover since I can remember. Growing up, my family used to raise dachshunds and I was always right there learning and ready to lend a helping hand. My friends with baby doggies have always called on me when they needed a sitter or just a friend for their furry family member to play with. I am patient and willing to learn any dog under any circumstance. I will truly enjoy spending my time with your pet. 🐶🐾 I work full time but, I am on night shift so I am available to play and care for your pup all morning! can work around schedules, just depends. I have a fenced in backyard. It is very roomy for multiple dogs, if play dates are your thing. there are plenty of dog parents in the area so taking walks will nothing new here. I have no animals of my own at the moment so, plenty of time and attention for your dog. I offer any type of accommodations. if crating is your thing, will do. if free range in the yard is for you, no problem. the rules are yours to set.

I can’t thank Jordan enough for stepping in at the last minute to care for my dog, Myla. I had accidentally scheduled the wrong dates with another sitter, but Jordan was quick to respond and saved the day. Her communication was excellent, and she made me feel completely at ease leaving Myla in her care. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and is highly dependable. Myla seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home from my trip. She also had my apartment very clean once I made it home. I highly recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Burgin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Burgin on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 436 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burgin. 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 Burgin 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 Burgin 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 Burgin 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burgin. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
